    For me Chambers suffers from a similar issue to Mustafi in that he's not truely a CB or a FB. He kinds of sits in-between. Wenger was also trying him as a DMF. He's probably best suited to a back three

    You could be right perhaps. However, I have absolutely no clue how a man as intelligent as Slavisa Jokanovic assesses a player like Chambers and thinks he can play at RWB or RB. He doesn't have the speed or positional sense to play in either of those positions. It's common sense. No wonder he's been struggling if Jokanovic has tried to play him in positions he's blatantly uncomfortable in.

    I think we should move on from Chambers. There are better talents out there. Great decision to keep Holding instead. I would like to see more of Mavrapanos and Holding. Players who have clear positions and have shown their strengths and weaknesses.

    This may not be a popular opinion, but I actually think he's worth persisting with. He's still only just turned 23 years old, so he's got a long way to go. He did very well when he was at Middlesbrough a few years ago, and he performed well at centre-half for us towards the back end of last season.

    It's just a shame he's gone to a team and a manager who are not only defensively deplorable, but who haven't deployed him in a position that suits.

    Besides, he signed a long-term contract just before we loaned him to Fulham. So I can't see him leaving for a couple of years at the very least.

    England loosing to Croatia again.

    We have some good players but how do they expect to win things with guys like Delph and Dier in midfield?

    Whilst we didn't play particularly well on our unbeaten run we still won games.
    Unfortunately now we are not taking our chances or being that creative the top four have pulled away and Man U have caught us after being some way behind.

    Defensively we look as frail as ever, but without being creative and scoring goals, then we could find ourselves in a world of **** pretty quickly. We've got Chelsea next, everybody is exepcting us to lose, so we'll probably go and win that now <laugh>

    Manchester Utd Fan in peace <peacedove>

    WOW Liverpool look like a proper team this season, it hates me to say it but they have everything.

    Do you guys think they'll win the league? (shoot me now).

    Thierry Henry suspended as Monaco boss after 5 wins in 20 have left them in the relegation zone.

    Good job we didn't let our hearts rule our heads and give him the Arsenal job. Maybe one day, but Henry has still got a lot to learn at management level
