We have to get more consistent. That first half was absolutely dreadful. Don't see how the top 4 should be unreachable, as it's 6 points to gain on in 16 games. Need to improve badly, though. I'd like to see us go back to 4-4-2, with Giroud and Walcott on top. And of course as I always do I have to state that we need a defensive midfielder real bad. Pick up Capoue or M'Vila, who seems to be on the move anyway.
Glad that Spurs vs United will happen. Hope they put on a good show. They were playing with Giroud on top. To be honest, Giroud was disappointing he didnt win enough balls and the two centerbacks had no problems whatsoever with him. They needed to change it up into a front 3 with Walcott down the middle. I promise you they would have been for a fair bit more misery (and a fair few offsides). Naturally not having Poldi and needing some stability in midfield works against doing so. Add to that the fact that Coq and Diaby werent comfortable bombing forward enough because that would put the guy staying back under to much pressure. That cant happen. You need more fluidity if your going with a double pivot of sorts like Arsenal were. Ideally what makes most sense to me was taking Giroud and Coq/Diaby off (that was made easier with Coq getting hurt). Drop Wilshere back with license to go forward, Walcott down the middle and put some guys out wide of him so he doesnt stray out all the time. Im not saying thats what they need to play period in every gme but for this game if your alternative is so much better just change it up. Giroud playing the old fashioned CF wasnt working. Wenger does some bafflingly stubborn things.
Arsenal didn't really have anyone else to play right wing though, because Tomas Rosicky and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are both out.

^Arshavin could have been an option.
edit: It wasn't that bad. I believe he touched the ball a couple times XD

Put Cazorla up there, he was straying up to the wing as often as he could anyway. And with Wilshere a little deeper he doesnt have to drop back because he really really doesnt like tracking back and frankly he sucks at it. Hell I dont like Ramsey playing there either but he would put a shift in atleast. Anything to keep Walcott from feeling like he has to go find space out wide.
Ofcourse not having the depth is a problem but that doesnt mean you just sit there and let the setup hit a brick wall over and over, especially when your team has just woken up and has the foot on the pedal.
He played the wildcard with Arshavin which was an epic failure.

That was a very clumsy foul by Carrick.
Great crosses from Carrick to Cleverly to RVP for the perfect header. Man that guy is something. Too bad he has the wrong red jersey T_T
|
God damn RVP just such an incredible player
|
Hes the difference this season isnt he.
|
Damn, RVP is way too lethal to handle.

Lol Kagawa pulls Dembele down by his shirt and no foul called.
Lol at Caulker getting impeded by Rafael who's like half his size xD

dafuq Chris Foy, got snow in your eye ? That was card level cynical. Even Kagawa couldnt believe his luck.

Kagawa does best at that SS/CAM position. Not really effective as a winger.

proper like him, great vision just needs to get used to the premiership pace/strength a bit faster then he should be able to replace one of united's mediocre CMs.
