Wenger has mostly used the second string squad at the start of any season to great effect, most teams aren't at full strength or match fit and he plays that Wengerball numbers game, throwing in squad players who are fit and raring to go whilst the first team get ready, we'll win 2 of our 3 opening games and he'd rather that than splash 100m on 3 players and get the same amount of points.

I think if LACAZETTE can keep this up, he's going to claim a place in the french world cup squad next year, his goal scoring instinct is sharp, he knows he won't get too much chances and makes use of the few ones he gets and he was unluncky not to have scored against chelsea and his header wasn't a fluke, he knew where the post were and he directed the ball, he will be handful for defender when our complete squad starts and luckily for us he's not an injury prone player, having him, Sanchez (if he stays), Giroud and Ozil fit will be vital for us this season and i see plenty of goals..

As for Giroud I hope what I'm hearing is not true.You get the feeling that once Lacazette starts scoring he just won't like it.He's also another overrated player who's also hear because of Wenger's kindness.Apart from the fact that he's good with his head I don't see the positives of keeping here and even Welbeck.We need players who can push Lacazette to perform and these are just not the players.They are more of rotation players.Do you think if Welbeck and Giroud were at top form they can challenge Laca at his best?I always laugh at our strikers though.On one hand, one doesn't fit our style of play but at least he can finish.On the other hand, the one who fits our style of play can't even score a goal.I can't believe we are joking with such a crucial role.I'm sick and tired of seeing average strikers in the club.It's been painful watching the likes of Bendtner and Chamakh already.Now I have to cope with this.

Three Arsenal players — Debuchy, Giroud and Ozil — look set to be out of action until the turn of the year, at least, which means that Wenger has been handed a serious kick up his backside, with a small squad at the start of the season further shortened by this injury pileup that also sees Ramsey, Arteta, Diaby, Monreal and Sanogo not yet fit to return.

Alexis came with a good spirit, seing Ozil on board, thinking a team would be built around them but year after year, it is no top class addition with a guessing game plan, weakness all over the pitch, players out of position, a team scared to play and lost as manager... Sanchez then started to ask more money, we said no as to Ozil; waiting 6 month later to be on last year contract... The all management is nuts and Alexis or any players try until they get fed up, Ozil plays to get fit for wrld cup and his value back...

He will go out and buy yet again some midfield player who's natural tendency is to want to play in the middle of the park (Ramsey, Wilshire, Santi, Ozil, Rosicky, Arteta) and try to convert him into something else just to fit him into his starting 11 resulting into a team of players capable of passing the ball but incapable of being dangerous.

It's either we're starting a season with just one fit defender (then using other makeshift players to augment the defence for a number of games; and by the time the real defenders are back and fit, the season is all but over for us), or we start a season without a recognisable striker (after losing our striker to injury, knowing he would return 6 weeks or more into the campaign), or we commence a season without any true DM (well, it's like that dm position isn't ever going to be sorted out).

Considering that Arsenal had a daunting collection of players on the treatment table, and we started the game against Tottenham with an Alexis running on empty, a Cazorla that couldn't see straight and a Koscielny that wasn't 100 % fit, the fact we ground out a draw against our bitter enemies begins to look impressive.
