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

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.

teams.

Then I think our
team will complete... If we are playing 3
at back then

They are great players to have in the
squad so maybe some of you should look
at our starting
team and see where Arsenal can improve there.
From mid 2013 to mid 2014 we were the best

squad at Chelsea with a max change or two and grill the
team mentally.
not quite sure about the maths here... but realistically 3 1 to city if both
teams put in their best... only hope is they are knackered after napoli in which case i wouldnt rule out a draw if we can keep a decent tempo... real test in the middle of the park and i would like to see wilshire start as he is the only
squad member who can control a ball and look up
at the same time... another xhaka ramsey routine will see us lose sadly

not me mate, your making up you own arguements, which are flawed by the way.So if Coquelin were to leave where would he go?According to you theory obviously it will be to another Champions league
team, so are you saying they won't have legitimate competition in the
team?Competition breeds winners, we havent had this
at Arsenal in a long time and we still don't have it upfront and in dm, we sort of have it
at CB with Gabriel, but until we correct this competition deficit in our

at home even with a full
squad so i don't get his reference plus other
teams are strengthening strongly and will only get better... man utd with a mediocre
team played us like we were some kids FH

squad player
at best, and just like Giroud he should be happy to be part of the
