Coq was good. He's excellent at disruption. I just think we need to upgrade there long term.

Ramsey and Santi were both bad, and Ramsey has been very mediocre this year. All the criticisms of him that were true in the past disappeared last year and showed up this year. He loses possession far too much, he's too fancy in dangerous positions.

He's at his best when he's running, tackling, and bursting into space, while playing simple balls to help us transition from interception to possession. Jack would've been helpful against Tottenham. He's such a better dribbler than Ramsey and can hold the ball and pick up those fouls to help us reset our lines.

Is tomorrow's game not on TV? Usually every game is at least on one of the Uverse alternate channels, but I'm not seeing anything.

Disagree. Ramsey is a better dribbler than Jack because he's more ambidextrous and generally seems more composed on the ball IMO. I also don't really agree with the implication that Jack getting fouled really suits our play. IMO, the last thing Arsenal need is a midfielder artificially holding up play by either trying to do too much rather than pick out a smart pass or trying to get fouled. Wilshere is a great player but not a first choice player right now, even with Ramsey slumping (operating under assumption that Jack is 100% and fully in the fold...should happen by April).
