Quick notes on arsemal
team 1 - paulista is not good as i though 2 - coquelin is essential in arsenal midfield to give stability but he can't hold the ball in his feet or give the right pass in the right time so we can't dominate
teams anymore especially with santi absence 3 - ramsey = horrible, just a headless chicken running everywhere 4 - ozil could have easily 30 + assists by now 5 - Olivier Giroud the handsom french guy shouldn't ever be a big
team first choice striker 6 - where are the 4 world class strikers that wenger said we had i didn't se anyone of the yet
With Lucas Perez now on the
team and Alexis Sanchez grabbing the goals as a converted striker, I think Giroud needs to really step up his game and realise that if he isn't careful, the likelihood of ever being Arsenal's

choice CB, too slow, poor on the air for his size and not brave enough, he's lasted this long due to Kos he needs a Top class CB just to allow him to play against average
teams Ok now Reid not top class we can all agree so we couldn't really play him with MERT as he isn't Kos quality so can't cover merits deficiencys He could be ok with Kos but Kos is struggling So is Reid what we need???? And finally Wenger if he has all 3 fit will still play Kos / Mert
first choice Oh and God forbid we play MERT / Reid against the top
teams like Chels / city / utd / Southampton Chuckle chuckle
