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

I'm confused about Mertesacker... early this season he was our best CB.

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.
