Le Coq

Saints only started creating chances once they went 2 up due to szez. Hes been good better than Flamini.

Knowing our luck he will be class til the end of the season and then fak off for free.

Let's not overreact, arteta is miles better, coquelin has done well but isn't the answer to anything

That's how desperate we our though Ramsey. Proves how sad we all.

We won't be signing anybody until the Summer.

I agree, let's not get carried away.

Arteta is still our best player in that position

AMAURY BISCHOFF

Arteta is poor at DM, particularly the way we set up with the rest of the midfield bombing forward and defence having to sit deep in order not to expose Mert.

Arteta's obviously a far better player than Coq who is fairly ordinary but doesn't remotely suit our team unless we're againt anything but the weakest opposition.

We obviously need a new DM but just as important is getting replacement/upgrades on Mert & Giroud.
Lowe figured out that Mertesackers lack of pace is a massive liability against the better teams and relegated him to cheerleader/waterboy.
Considering our style of play, it's Harikari having 2 of the slowest players in history - Mert & Giroud - at both ends of the pitch.

the coq had a very good game yesterday and seems to be getting better. sometimes you don't always need a star of sorts or a great technical player to be a very good DM. I remember Gilberto, who was nothing spectacular as a player but did a very good job in midfield and complimented it.

We have improved with Coq in the middle instead of Flamini or Arteta. But he very limited and what it reflects more is how poor Arteta and Flamini have been. The same will happen with Ospina and anyone who replaces Mertesacker.
