Horrible performance but hats off to Petr Cech. The man is a beast of a goalie and composure personified. Saved our bacon AGAIN!! 3 points!
Having said that, or defending is ABYSMAL. Said it with other games and if not for Cech and poorer finishing (sunderland, Newcastle, man city), we'd be in poorer shape. We seriously miss Coquelin and Santi's ability to keep the ball and pull strings in midfield is something Ramsey lacks. I really get jitters with Ramsey as a CM as he has a very selfish streak and plays for himself at times (i.e. the miss at the ed with Campbell wide open). I can see why Wenger played him wide with the license to drift inward. We need something different in there and collective prayers that Ozil does not get hurt.
Cech...and our defending

Him and Ozil have been the reason we are top.

Yeah we do. Just imagine how far ahead we'll be when we start playing well.

Don't think our defence is a problem. Its mainly the midfield. Newcastle had many free runs at the defence today. They could just walk through our defence today.
The back 4 look much more solid when Coq is playing

Definitely missing Coquelin.
The full backs are being found out every week, without Coquelin there to cover their attacking forays. We are being bettered in midfield, without the ability to win the ball back quickly and spring counter attacks.
Form since November has been poor.

Cech is a focking hero.
Definitely has to be our captain next season.

Defiantly need some reinforcement...its only time we get found out with the current midfield...Also, playing Theo and Giroud together means we have no other striker to rely on from bench...this is beyond ridiculous.

We need injured players back fast and strengthening in the January window - Cech has been quite brilliant

ll people laughing at JT when he said Big Pete will save you 12 to 15 points a season. Hes already done that for you.
