form against big teams.
Not exact matches
Coquelin's defending is excellent.In fact i've watched many DM's Arsenal have been linked and he's better than some of them defensive wise.How many top DM's will keep the likes of Silva, Coutinho and Modric (12/13) quiet throughout a match?It takes top defending to do that.His
biggest problem is that he's not adventurous and doesn't hold the ball with authority.It's just that I feel he's not given the appreciation he deserves.He's a good squad player to have and when on
form can do well
against top
teams.
With games coming up
against an in
form Stoke
team, a dangerous Everton side and a wounded Manchester City,
big tests are on the horizon over Christmas for Arsene Wenger's men.
here's my
big hope, is that hopefully with the return of walcott and that win
against anderlecht maybe something might (like bad
form) break in the season for us now and we hopefully go on a bit of a winning run til Jan, we have not got a really bad fixture til then mostly mid to lower league
team (apart from the pool and united) not to be underestimated but winnable, we might just save our season till the next window very important period for us if we want to do anything in the league this season, if in top 2 or 3 buy jan i for one will be chuffed to bits then with all players back push on from there for massive optimism is my middle name COYG

Barca's
form in recent weeks has come closer to looking like the
team that dominated so resoundingly from 2008 to 2012, but it feels like
big games such as this one will prove the undoing of the
team as they chase the Champions League this season; it's hard to imagine this side playing as they did
against Real and being successful
against Guardiola's Bayern Munich.
What will be most intriguing for me is how we will fare
against in -
form big teams, especially away from home after all these past years of beatings & lack of mental toughness.
- Wenger can be so insane to do it.The man is out of this world and complety insane.He can not see what it is obvious for the entire world.To have better players on the bench and to keep favouring the same out - of -
form or not good enough players week after week is madness.To play for draw from the beginning
against an awful
team which got beaten by the entire league on a daily bases - this is something unimaginable.It is not Mertesacker fault for being embarrased by any player on the planet, it is the manager fault for exposing him as a laughing point of focus.Wenger must go, the man is deluded, he is scarred to take any risk for success.Well, guess what - only showing courage and breaking the risk can bring you success.Not the case - I predict a chain of defeats following, with the cherry on top being a
big defeat
against Spurs - a
team which, despite our hate, plays real football (with great results I must say).

Joey Barton always has a
big game in him and is probably due one after several average displays recently, Shaun Wright - Phillips has pace in abundance while Heidur Helguson is in a terrific vein of

team shorn of centre - back and captain Nemanja Vidic.
While a draw at the Stadio Artemio Franchi

This is going to be another

Manchester United have continued their decline in
form after putting 37 shots on goal
against Burnley at Old Trafford last Saturday, to being controlled by Fenerbahçe in the UEFA Europa League in Turkey, losing 2 - 1 and playing like a

big as Manchester United.
Their
