Chesney might not be the Buffon in disguise many had touted, but he's hands down the best goalkeeper Arsenal have. I personally believe, in time he'll become a top goalkeeper.

Gibbs being out has had a chaotic effect on the back four. They've really missed hi, he's the epitmoie of a modern fullback. I do worry about his physical state though, to have so many constant injuries for such a young player is worrying...

Arsenal need him right now.

If Szczesny and Gibbs are back for Spurs, we will win so, SO comfortably.

If Szczesny is back I can sleep at least a bit better.

I don't think that we will win against Spurs. They will give us a lot of nightmares on the wings.

Gunnerthru, they will give us problems yes but I think with a commanding goalkeeper such as Szczesny and no Santos/Vermaelen at LB we'll be more secure.

For me it's up to whether Wenger can motivate the players to get a good performance, if he does then we should win, if he doesn't and we lose with another weak and limp performance my patience with him will snap.

Merte, I really do believe that it doesnt matter who plays we can't change our style or put in a great performance. I really do believe this. We will not win NLD.

Mannone hasn't been that bad.

Beg to differ. I'll give him credit, he's actually pulled a few blinding saves out of the bag, notably in Europe. He's definitely a tryer.

But for me, he's barely Prem standard, some of the goals he's conced have been weak and I'll stick my neck out and say at times he's cost us points.

Is Szczesny in Polands squad for midweek?

Mannone has been how he always is. Brings out a nice flash save here and there, but almost always leaves the ball in the danger area. And he is shocking at dealing with crosses.

A fully fit Szczesny is a very good keeper. Lets hope he is fully fit rather than the injured keeper we have seen him as over the last few months.

Szczesny is more commanding, confident, better from crosses. Mannone has given me a few shaky moments with his punches but even then he's been okay in those situations.

Mannone has done okay for a third choice keeper, szczesny is miles ahead though. He is a real character and he will inspire more confidence in our back 4.

Mannone is so ungainly, he doesn't look natural and he's always been like that. Can't wait for Szczesny to come back, he got a bit of criticism but after watching Mannone you can see Szcz is miles ahead of him.

Mannone is not reliable enough and as Moist said he cost us points.
