| re: Arsenal 2012/2013 Season Long Thread I said I was sorry...  Search sucks. Reply • Back to Top |
| we aren't buying anyone. Arsene's troll game is world class. Reply • Back to Top |
| If we have replacements for Mertesacker, Santos, and Ramsey in the game we win it going away. So basically if Arteta and Gibbs are healthy and Koscielny had his confidence back Reply • Back to Top |
| I'm confused about Mertesacker... early this season he was our best CB. Reply • Back to Top |
| To be a top flight club you need capable backups though, which Arsenal haven't had forever now. The cupboard has been dry for years. We had Squilaci as our backup CB who was unbelievably bad, we got Mertesacker to replace him who is definitely better. Wenger needs to find someone to replace Santos. We have Diaby/Coquelin/Ramsey who Wenger could play at DM, just none of them really work. It's disappointing to see Podolski, Giroud, Walcott continue to show up and play well on offense only to have that good play canceled out by such mediocre play from those in our back 5.

| The Podolski, Walcott, Cazorla, Wilshere, Giroud attacking quintet is really starting to blossom. The problem is behind them. Reply • Back to Top |
| Arsene's tactics were puzzling. Arsenal could have won that match by 3 goals with better tactics. Oh and I'm sorry Santos had to make an appearance. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Reply • Back to Top |
| Gibbs out 3 weeks... awesome frick santos, play verm left... or sagna and jenkS on the right. Santos v robben woo! Reply • Back to Top |
| Jesus Christ arsene Gibbs is too injury prone to not sign another left back. We'd almost be better playing podolski at LB Reply • Back to Top |
 Our defense is sooooooo good. Reply • Back to Top |
| Babytown frolics. We need a major overhaul of our back 4 in the summer. Or at least a couple of new faces. And a GK. Really frustrating draw. We dominated (though Liverpool definitely had goals in them). On one hand, 'Pool probably should have scored more, but the two goals we gave up were just so unbelievably stupid. God, I hope this team can somehow sneak into 4th. At least our schedule is fairly favorable from here on out. Also, Bayern will very, very likely rape and pillage us. Our back line blows way too much. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: This and the injuries on the edges are what kills us. I honestly think a commanding keeper would have our back line performing a lot better (i.e. Howard yelling at them type) and then obviously we need a better backup than Santos to cover for our ever injured Gibbs. Not to mention he (mystery signing, not implying Howard, was just using his name for the yelling example) would probably be better in the air than Scezc.

| Liverpools offense didn't look much better in the sequence too, which makes us look even worse Reply • Back to Top |

| There is nothing in that excerpt that I don't like. Reply • Back to Top |
| Gibbs is out at least 4-6 weeks. Maybe 8 according to Wenger. He may never get his job back. arteta is back in the squad this weekend. Tv5 is a doubt. Reply • Back to Top |
| Also some rumors we tried to sign Etienne Capoue late. Wenger said we were close on another but the team didn't want to sell and that it wasn't a money thing. I'd imagine that he was talking about Villa and Barca. Reply • Back to Top |
| 1) this thread needed to be bumped 2) I'm going to the Arsenal-Everton game in a month. Any tips on what I should do while at the Emirates? I lived in London for a period but never made it there for a match (I was a poor grad student). I'm really excited. 3) Wilshire looked pretty good today. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
