I'm not pessimistic, but cautiously optimistic.

We've had a few wins that we were fortunate to get results (Sunderland comes to mind).

We need to get healthy. Then we need some consistency in the rotation.

I'm worried about striker depth. When Podolski and Theo are healthy, I'll feel better. Haven't seen enough of Sanogo to know anything there.

But, we have Ozil and Cazorla, two of the best playmakers in the world. We have great balance and versatility in midfield, and I trust our defense.

It's been fun so far and looks to be fun moving forward. Just get healthy and I'll feel better.

Arsenal have also shown a tactical flexibility of late. Against Swansea for instance, they lined up in a kind of 4-1-3-1-1, with Flamini patrolling the width of the pitch in front of the defence and Ozil floating behind Giroud. Yet once Arsenal have the ball, Ramsey races ahead of Ozil in support of Giroud. Against Napoli, there was a slight tweak to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Arteta sitting alongside Flamini. I suspect this is an axis that Wenger will look to for games against formidable opponents.


This is one thing, I think that we are lacking for the past few seasons. This season, with the squad depth Arsene has, he can change the formation and tactics depending on the game.
