We need our wide players back in a bad way. We're nowhere near as good without Ramsey in the middle and jack just looks awful

Just want reiterate that we need our wingers back in the worst way. We look tired, cazorla and Walcott are two of the better goal scorers on the team, and we need Ramsey and Wilshere back in the middle

Yeah. Playing 5 CMs doesn't work against a side like WBA that refuse to be dragged out of position.

I want to get the new away kit and I looked around a little bit today to find some different prices.
I stumbled upon an Ozil away kit for $30 on Amazon. Obviously I have some qualms with this given the low price. Anybody have an experience purchasing jerseys with such a different price?
Or possibly a website they have used before for this kind of stuff?

(Don't really want to shell out $130 for an Ozil away kit unless I have to)

I'm more concerned with the fan gear. Say what you want about Nike uniforms, the t-shirts, polos, etc are usually the best I've seen.

we're offering Rosicky a new contract. all part of our elaborate ploy to lure Marco Reus to Arsenal.

deschamps said he is watching Flamini closely because he is playing at a high level. said he wasn't tempted to call him up this time, but will continue to watch him.

What is the connection between Rosicky and Reus?

And having grown up at Dortmund, Reus cites Tomas Rosicky as his inspiration and idol, claiming that injuries have robbed him, and Arsenal, of a truly great player.

rosicky is really a little genius. i love watching him play. it sucks he had 2+ years of his prime taken from him. he's still performing quite well though. i'm cool with him getting another year or two deal as a backup. i hadn't realized he had been at Arsenal for damn near 7+ years until the announcer mentioned it yesterday.

i don't think we'll ever get Reus, but if Lars Bender has a release clause that activates in the summer, i definitely see us pursuing him.

also, i like rosicky out wide a whole hell of a lot more than rambo or jack.

I like Rosicky at CAM more than Rambo or Jack. He speeds up play really wonderfully. I hope we can get a year or more out of him. He still has that little burst which helps him get separation.

I'm really tired of our wide players being our backup mids.. such a narrow freaking lineup.

I really wish Miyachi and Gnabry would be given more of a chance. They might be our most natural wide players. We could have won yesterday if we had true wingers, as Ridgewell and Jones aren't great fullbacks. If we had Walcott yesterday, I think we would have beaten West Brom. He's made Ridgewell and Jones his bitch in the past.

West Brom simply wouldn't be dragged out of position by our movement. Also Ramsey looked knackered after the 60th minute. Would have been a good game for Gnabry to start.

yeah, i was surprised we went with the same lineup as with Napoli. feel like Rambo should have played centrally and gnabry started wide right. i don't have the passing stats, but flamini and arteta constantly spraying the ball out wide, unable to really push forward centrally, hurt us, i think. we weren't really able to get Ozil and Giroud involved as much as we have been recently. Ozil had to drop deeper in the second half in order to get the ball. it may not have just been on the double pivot (fatigue played a part too), but they played how i expected them to when i was more doubtful of their ability to pair together. i suspect going forward, their partnership will be somewhere in between their napoli and WBA performances.

i prefer rosicky to rambo and jack at CAM, LW, and RW. he probably should be #2 on our CAM depth chart (because santi is our best LW). his workrate and energy works well. his assist yesterday was very nice.
