I'd be OK with a Coq/Ramsey midfield.

BTW, I will be buying several pints at Finn's for the West Ham match. I'll decide who is worthy.

Just sayin', yo.

EDIT: Glassman doesn't count in my pint buying, as I owe that cat a few.

I still remain unconvinced Ramsey can play there and this team can remain solid defensively. No DM in the world can cover the space he leaves vulnerable so often.

He's young so here's to hoping he can learn some positional discipline while Coq develops into that world class DM.

Yep. He showed it in the first half against City.

I still think I'd prefer Giroud and Cazorla in there over Wilshere and Walcott.



Yeah, I see that. I put Jack over Santi because I think Santi's got a year or two left at peak form, so I'm projecting longer term.

And I think we played our best football this year with Walcott up top. Giroud is obviously more consistent right now and would be the starter, but that Alexis-Walcott-Ozil spearhead against United was awesome.

Lacks control, for me. Would be stellar on the counter, though.

And I think Coq's distribution/skill is vastly underrated. Ramsey is just too loose and his bombing forward concerns me in a deep lying midfield pair at times. That's why I like him on the right. His runs forward make more sense there. And it really shifts into a diamond midfield because he tucks in, Alexis plays like a left sided forward, and Ozil is the 10.

Will not win the league. This happens in too many big games.

This will get embarrassing.

Wenger just conceded by bringing Giroud off.

That's an overreaction. We are getting healthy again. Despite today's possible disappointment.

And naturally despite being shorthanded, we get great scoring opportunities and frick them up royally--get cold feet and can't even get the ball on the net or the keeper.

Things like this have happened over the course of several years and always happens in big games. Wenger's team aren't undisciplined per say, they just lack composure on the big stage.

This Chelsea side isn't very good and are inviting Arsenal back into the game.
