Not exact matches
Obviously we have Olivier Giroud, who is due a
goal tomorrow simply
on the law of averagesas he has missed so many
chances in recent weeks, and Theo Walcott is also desperate to
prove his worth as an out and out hitman.
They have a number of promising young centre backs who ought to be given an opportunity to
prove themselves for the remainder of the season in the EPL matches.They simply can not be worse than the rapidly declining Koscielny and Mustafi who can not cope with the likes of Swansea, Bournemouth etc. let alone a team like Spurs.The lack of steel at the back impacts
on our more attacking players as they know they need to score 2/3
goals to have any
chance of producing a win.As usual Elneny has come in for criticism but the real culprits are our centre backs and Xhaka who seems to be a fixture regardless of being bang average.
The Gunners dominated possession, created more

on goal, but it meant little as they suffered defeat and now have to respond
on Saturday with many likely to argue that it's irrelevant as this
proves that they aren't capable of winning the title this season.
