A more expensive, and much much better version of Giroud.

As for Bendtner, the only use he'd have is filling the gap left by Welbeck on the bench.

Buying Cech looks even better now with Cortouis out for a few months.

If ever there was a time for Wenger to grab his win against Chelsea, it's now.

That was a great performance. Coquelin dominated. Is clear that we've been working a lot on Sanchez making runs instead of dropping deep all the time. The movement in behind from Alexis/Walcott/Ramsey created absolute havoc.

Potentially the chance to put the nail in Jose's coffin next weekend, so pumped.

I'd like to see Arteta come in mid week.

Always feel good to win a game 2-0 and be disappointed we didn't win by 5 or 6. Also 3 clean sheets in a row is great, not sure Per will find it easy to make it back into the side at this rate.

Would almost be even sweeter doing it now in the position they're in than it would have been last season. That said we'll obviously find a way to fuck it up :lol:

Yeah didn't watch it either, glad I didn't too :lol:

I guess one positive is it's good to see Theo getting some goals. Don't think this loss changes things dramatically, just means we probably can't afford to lose against Dinamo or Olympiakos again, which we shouldn't be anyway. Win our 3 remaining games against them and we'll be fine, and maybe even snag a draw in Germany where we've never lost.

This really. I mean I'll give a shit when a loss means we don't make it out of the group, but right now I care more about Chelsea on Saturday than this game against Dinamo.

In the end all this really means is no more resting players in the CL, not sure why Cech was rested anyway :lol:

Starting Miki and Santi together feels like a mistake, if you want to start Miki it should have been Ramsey next to him. Debuchy wasn't great on the first goal, but wasn't helped by Ox who should have been tracking back. Have seen good things said about Gabriel's performance which is another positive, his partnership with Kos could be one of the success stories of this season if they keep going the way they are.

Will be interesting to see who we start upfront against Chelsea, I think it'll be Walcott.

So watching the game and its clear why Wenger will always find a way to play Ramsey. No-one was a presence inidfield, no one demanding the ball or trying to make something happen.

People will look at Arteta but he didn't really do much wrong. You can't play a midfield of Arteta and Cazorla away from home and expect to get away with it, tactical naivety from Wenger.

Debuchy was poor, thought Gibbs did OK though.

I've been almost positive that Mertesacker would walk back into the team regardless of Gabriel's form but he's been an absolute revelation next to Kos and I love that he's got a proper bit of bite to him. Confident he would have Costa physically, can't say the same about Kos or Mert.

Ozil was ineffective, but wasn't getting great service and had to take up worse positions because of it.

Ox- less said the better. Needs to go back to the basics off the bench for a while.

Sanchez is hungry, just needs one.

Ozil is too good for Fenerbahce.

Would dead set cut off Daniel Levy's right hand to have him at Spurs even though he is forever tainted by the scum.

Costa hands all over Kos, shirtfronting Gabriel, dissent, getting Gabe sent off, there's at least four yellows there.

Costa slapping Giroud twice is two red cards right there anyway. The only thing Gabriel is guilty of is some dissent and not knowing Costa had stopped walking.
