It's a shame really how people are so plastic over here.We seem to
change our views so easily.Why can't people just
make up their minds?It's like people don't have stance.As I've been saying and will keep saying we have many good players but as good as they are they're overrated.We've just compromised as a club.There are problems in every single role in the team, from defence to attack.Yet these problems will constantly be ignored.Some players are cleary not good enough but say it and the stats lovers will come out.The main problem wrong with the team is the centre.The other problem is Wenger and his misuse
of players.I for one don't really
rate Ramsey - Xhaka partnership in a sense that it's defensively weak with Xhaka not good enough defensively and Ramsey very inconsistent.The only player excellent defensively in the centre in Arsenal's team is Coquelin and I think he should be playing though many won'tsee why.Look how easily the balls went through the midfield.Coquelin should be partnered with another CM in our current team.People shouldn't deceive themselves Xhaka that Xhaka isn't a DM.He's just not good defensively admit it.We need a DM more than a CM in my opinion or a hybrid like Sanches or Jankto.

making it big.As for Bendtner having that talent well every one is entitled to his opinion.
