I thought Jack was off in the first half, but better in the second.

There's really only two positions to me that stand out as being relatively undercovered in terms of depth - striker, and right back. Let's hope Giroud continues to be an uninjured beast, and same for Sagna.

Jenkinson is plenty good at RB, have a lot of time for that lad.

Also that avatar is scary as fuck.

Don't think we need anymore RB's, any more than 2 is overkill really.

Arsene has admitted Bendtner is a chance to start on Thursday.

:lol: I was attempting to get a decent one of Flam

May go back to my old day original PV one :cool:

With Ramsey's form ATM, the question on everyone's lips is: "which English club will he move to next season?" :p:twisted:

Mind the gap ;)



Forever in our shadow etc etc

Agree forgot about Rambo which is strange

Really happy with that performance last night.

Even when Stoke equalized I wasn't worried, it always felt like we'd cruise to a win. I haven't felt this comfortable in an Arsenal squad in a very long time.

Beating Stoke at set pieces, Stoke being actually pretty tidy on the ball and in build up play keeping possession for long times, a Stoke player absolutely dictating play for them (Nzonzi) - it deadset sounds like the inverse of the same old Arsenal v Stoke game!

I am in the middle of a major Flamini fapfest btw - I'm so so happy we have him back.

Ramsey, Wilshere, Flamini, Arteta, Carzola, Ozil, (even Rosicky) are all competing for about 2-3 midfield spots. This is a great squad! I don't believe in jinxing things, so imma say it - this is the year IMO

:lol: :lol:

A great squad is meant to have 2-3 quality players in each position, not just central midfield.

Well like I said last night, to me the striker position and the RB (which was cut down) are the only positions without great depth.

GK: Sczez, Viviano
RB: Sagna, Jenkinson
CB: Per, Boss, Verminator
LB: Gibbs, Nacho
RM: Walcott, Ox, Gnabry (did fine last night I thought)
CM: Ozil, Wilshere, Ramsay, Rosicky, Flamini, Arteta
LM: Carzola, Nacho, Ox
ST: Giroud, Bendtner (rofl)

So long story short - great squad.

Btw mind the gap :lol:

Peevee you forgot poldi and you call urself an gooner;)

rofl says the guy who forgot Rambo

But :lol: you're doing nothing to help Vaughn's perception of the squad

Yeah I think Gnabry showed last night why he was promoted to the first team squad this season.

For West Brom on Thursday

3 CB's covering 2 spots. Excellent.
Nacho and ox being second choice in 2 positions - what happens when there is an injury (eg Gibbs)?
Gnabry and B52 :lol:

Your only strong positions are CM and LB / maybe RB - the rest is pretty thin.

Ramsey's last 3 games: 18 tackles, 4 goals.

Lucas who?

GK: Ches, Viviano,Fabianski
RB-Sagna,Jenks
CB-Kos,Per,Verm,Sagna
LB-Gibbs,Monreal
CM-Flamini,Arteta,Ramsey,Wilshere
RW-Walcott,Ox,Gnabry,Ryo
LW-Cazorla,Podolski,Ox
CAM-Ozil,Rosicky,Wilshere,
ST-Giroud,Podolski,Sanogo,NB52

Not really worries about our squad at all.

Despite Ozil, it's pretty much the same squad as last year. Come the busy part of the season, you guys will still be very short on strikers.

My only worry with the squad is upfront, but that can be easily rectified in January.

Yeah i think something like that as well, the boys looked quite tired this match and could do with a rest. It's also a good chance for Vermaelen, Bendtner and Arteta to catch up on fitness compared to the rest of the squad. Wouldn't mind seeing Akpom thrown on at the end either.

yeah at the end all of the midfielders were clearly under instruction to park the bus, but Flamini seemed to be the only one who had any energy left. Ramsey just died towards the end.

How many more weeks do the injured guys have till back (Ox, Podolski, Carzola, etc)?

:lol: who cares what Vaughn thinks up until last year he was supporting atletico Madrid:lol:

Rambo looks like that at the end of every match, not a surprise when he runs himself into the ground week in week out. Giroud does the same thing.

As for injuries, not sure about Poldi and Ox but Arsene said Santi should be back in 2-3 weeks.

FTFY.

Not really that different to last year :lol:

This. If anything its a highly inspirational pic for the spuds.

wat

In a league where you would want to be losing at the very maximum 6 games to actually win the title - one win, especially in the first 5 games, is a monster difference.

I think Podolski and cazorla are the next back and should be the next couple of weeks (after the international break for Cazorla), the Ox I think is just after them some time in November. It's going to be a tough few weeks, especially if Theo isn't ok...
