CLOVIS WEST KEYS TO VICTORY: Against top teams the Golden Eagles have been near or above their 74.1 points per game scoring average, and if they can score at least 70 points and play solid team ball with the kind of defense they have shown — except in the second game against Centennial - Las Vegas when they lost 70 - 46 at the MLK in Stockton — coach Craig Campbell and his girls should win again just like they did in a 70 - 67 overtime victory over Poly at the Nike TOC.

In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)

Today interested me, we pressed collectively and very well, forcing Stoke into mistake after mistake, but it was more than that, we saw Cazorla, Coquelin even Koscielny striking from far out, I think I counted 5 or 6 times where we just played the simple ball over the top looking for Walcott, it will be interesting to see if this was just a one off, desperate as we were to get a goal at home.

I can understand if it was Giroud who needs an extra 10 yards to beat the defender to the ball but the main thing about Theo is his pace... so start higher up the pitch and bring defender with you and give him a 5 yard headstart... he will still beat the guy to the ball over the top!

OK I know that would leave Walcott and giroud as the striker options, but if it's giroud all he would need to do is hold the ball up to let those 4 in, if it was Walcott it would be a matter of pace over the top.

It's an attacking formation — but if like me you believe Chambers can become a starter ahead of Mert — then our pace at the back means can push up without risk of the ball over the top that we were so vulnerable too last year -

walcott had his chance to win over disbelieving fans like myself yday and did jack s ***, fluffed his one chance when he couldnt control through ball from roszicky... because all he can do is run... arsenal fans need to get over this third rate whippet he might be able to pose threats to the burnely defence but not stronger and quicker defences that we face at top... a definite sell in the summmer if we want to be serious contenders again along with ramsey, mert and giroud....
