Yeah agree entierly. Arsenal's huge problem last year was that they could not beat anyone good and I don't think that was down to a thin squad. It is why Ozil is such a massive buy, may well make the difference in those games.Yeah, it's funny. On the Rangers forum I post on, aside from the fact that Wenger will always be criticised by someone regardless of what he does, the squad depth thing has already been brought up despite it already being severely tested this season and the team (so far) coming through with flying colours.
The one thing I suppose you could hold against Arsenal is that so far we've not played anyone good.
I hate the "oh, he's not completely hopeless with the ball at his feet, play him in midfield" argument.Well we all know the arguments about his anticipation stopping attacks, more than making up for his lapses, but not for me, play him in mid-field. Would rather play Cahill and Terry, and I don't rate either.
It is more 'he is liable to make an awful mistake that will cost you a game, put him in midfield argument.'I hate the "oh, he's not completely hopeless with the ball at his feet, play him in midfield" argument.
Rate both them higher than Luiz and Terry is clearly not the player he was. Can understand why Mourinho was allegedly not keen on him.Well we all know the arguments about his anticipation stopping attacks, more than making up for his lapses, but not for me, play him in mid-field. Would rather play Cahill and Terry, and I don't rate either.
It's more he keeps on ****ing up at the back, play him in midfield, personally I'd not have him on the field at all, when you have Oscar and Ramires. Anyway i think we probably differ on his merits.I hate the "oh, he's not completely hopeless with the ball at his feet, play him in midfield" argument.
Nah, no way. He's not even one of the best centrebacks in London.Cahill
Always rated him from his Villa days, no real stand out candidate to partner Kompany.Nah, no way. He's not even one of the best centrebacks in London.
Kompany and Luiz are the only two centre halfs in the Premier League I'd take in front of him ftr.I reckon it's got to the stage where I'd consider picking Koscielny in a Premier League XI. I'd probably dismiss the idea fairly quickly and stick Vidic in, but it's certainly not laughable anymore.
