I believe tgere are 3 titke contenders this year Leicester, city and arsenal About Leicester they are doing great but there football depends
on counter attacking and few quick passes to reach the ball to mahrez or vardy i don't think they can impress anybody if they faced teams that park the bus like what the teams do with arsenal and also any injury for mahrez or vardy will ruin there season so i don't consider them a real challenge and
in an open game we got the best out of them and beat them with 5
goals to 2 so calm down gooners About city they had very impressing start for the season then they were vety baf winning most games by pure luck or last minute
goals and they could be beaten easily Arsenal are the best team form we controled most of the games and the losses and draws were by bad referee decisions or bad luck and the 4 points margain with city could have been easily 10 or 12

counter and loose the game.

in our team!
Is it a coincidence that unlike last season, this season -

counter goal against United) to score
in both games?

goals.
Some may point to the fact that Chelsea only had 3 but if you assess the situation, Chelsea were never going to come out guns blazing at Arsenal, Chelsea thrive
on controlling the game and
counter attacks, having a free flowing game of attacking football is

goal and or get
goals from set pieces and it worked like a charm against us.

We can be ruthless
on the
counter too but we really need to be more clinical
in front of
goal, no matter the style we impose
on the day, even if its smash and grab, we need to put our chances away and kill teams off early
Our players showed alot of discipline
in defence and even though Bayern had so much of the ball, you could sense us getting a
goal with our swift
counter attacking style... We played well as a team, and that's whet we needed to win this game... Also loved the fact that we went direct from the free - kick that resulted
in the
goal, when
on another day we would've opted for the short pass..
which is certainly not a slight
on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club and country
in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar
on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another
in the litany of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical
in the boardroom as
on the pitch... accept nothing less or move
on... personally I would move
on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all
in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs
counter to the thoughts
in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can
counter quickly even when they are spread out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable
goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one
in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring of the football universe... think of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure of monumental proportions... only if you cared, of course
I don't even know why he started Welbeck ahead of Walcott
in the first place, Welbeck was giving away the ball too often
on the right and wasn't helping Bellerin
in defence.Bellerin too can't be blameless for being caught out of position many times, he didn't even know who he was marking.The reason why we lost the midfield battle wasn't because Coquelin didn't do much, the problem was with Ramsey and Cazorla, they were loosing possesion too often
in our own half giving more room for
counter attack Coquelin alone couldn't contain opponent's pressure for the full 90minutes he needed help too defencively from Ramsey who didn't give him any, Ramsey now sees himself as an AM who could go forward at anytime and ignore his defensive responsibility.Koscielny didn't do much to prevent the second
goal.

in our approach.

You make some very good points and most i agree with... however, i have a couple points... 1) the invisibles were efficient, like Chelsea now they only need two / three players and a couple of top passes to score, they caught teams

counter to fail and then the hole team wants to get
in on the act leaving the
goal exposed..

We simply arent single minded enough goin forward, that is the big difference between us and the teams that will contest the PL this year, Chelsea go straight for
goal, they do nt tie themselves up
in knots or pass the responsibility
on to someone else when
in front of
goal, this
in turn leads to scrambles, or they win a corner or get a lucky deflection and score but what does nt happen is their attack breaks down meekly with 7 men committed forward and wide open for
counter attacks, I thought we could have been beat 3 or 4 yesterday and thats not being unfair.

Song, arguably our most improved player is
on 4 yellow cards and we should ensure that he doesn't miss the Chelsea game.The partnership of Gallas and Vermaelen is outstanding, yet one can not expect them to play
in every game, and it is
in that are we are weak
in cover.With regards to the full back situation, perm any two from four, that is Clichy, Gibbs, Eboue, Sagna and even Traore they are attacking wing backs and are always at risk
on the quick
counter attack by the opposition.Almunia still doesn't impress me and his command of his area is still indecisive and he is still vulnerable to letting
goals in, especially to his near post.Wenger being Wenger, I doubt he will buy
in January, and it is a pity we didn't go for Given months before he joined City, when he was available for a comparatively cheap price.This new diamond shape or 4 -1-4-1 is working well and we have an abundance of quality to interchange, which bemuses the opposition more often than not.We have every chance this year, and we are also being helped by the fact that the other so called big four sides are showing their vulnerability.A couple of decent signings, not squad players
in January, and hopefully we are
in the mix.

goal or three via their quick, decisive
counters.
