Is theo Walcott that important. yes

end Thread/

Walcott gives us pace and brings goals.

Giroud plays better with him, ozil will have outlets and we just look a better team with him in it

I don't think we'll sign anyone significant in January.


Wenger - 'We have a squad that is, number and quality wise, very, very good. AFTER THAT IN JANUARY WE ARE NOT DESPERATE (TO BUY) NOW.

If there is a good opportunity (to buy), why not? But if you know who is out injured now, they will come back in November, the beginning of December, then you have a really massive squad.

With the number of competitions involved, everybody thinks they have a chance to play. That is what is the most important. As long as you fight for things, everybody keeps the focus.'

We won't buy anyone in jan.

That means Suarez is a done deal next summer

Liverpool will be a big test next week, specially without Flamini and none of our current injured players near to be fit.
I'm not looking forward to it but if we manage to get a result without Theo, Poldi and the Ox, then we won't sign anyone in January, that's for sure.

Problem we have at the moment is that pod is out for at least another 6 weeks. Put arsenal timing on top of that and that's another 3 weeks on top of that.

Theo, won't be surprised if there is another setback

Ox today on bt sports said he hopes to play this year which means won't see him at least up until Jan.

Pessimism has never gone away under Arsene even with Özil on board lets hope Theo comes back for Dortmund.

How do you guys see the game next week? We will have Coutinho, Gerrard, Sturridge, Suarez, Lucas Enrique and Johnson all in the squad.

For me I think down the flanks is where liverpool will have lot of success, also if we play 3 bs then I cant see giroud getting into the game much.

We also have players who don't like pressing like the German teams and our players IMO should only pass when feasible, the many wayward passes can't be blamed on tired minds or body, remember, we haven't even travelled long distance to play Palace and may be Arsene isn't obsessed with possession game like Pep at Bayern or Klopp at Dortmund. Those teams defend as a group and once they get back possession, they all know where to stand, the fullbacks on the touch line to stretch the opposition, while the rest interlink with neat play trusting each other in possession and are quick to get it back once they lose the ball, I haven't seen any team in our league do that you can argue Southampton comes close in comparison but on the other hand, Barca, have thrown their blueprint and have looked mortal lately.

We will still beat you no doubt, Suarez will also be off game against his future team mates and Gerard is average whenever he plays at the Emirates and Coutinho playing will open up your team and we will punish you in counter attack, I see asker tell getting a red card

Squirrel I meant Skrtel.

Walcott is a nice option but he is too inconsistent to be regarded as a key player.

I look forward to the Ox coming back

wum
