Pundits doubt title challenge

Arsenal squad us to weak. They have papered over the cracks well, I remember man utd 2011-12 season kept winning but when we needed to have a fully fit squad we had a lot of injured players around april may time we dipped form. We dipped form in around boxing day new year and in may.

I think saf learnt from that and got rvp in. Rooney hernandez were only main strikers. Now we got 3 world class strikers on a bad form. Once they get on form we will be unstoppable.

Rooney is on formish but his miss against cardiff cost
us, rvp has missed a lot of sitters this season and hernandez to against real sociedad, rvp against southampton and sunderland and mishit a shot against chelsea at end from 6 yds and against liverpool at the end.

Last season we were outfiring teams this season we can't get the break. Our last 2 away games we limited spurs and cardiff to probably there fewest shots but they scored twice each time.

Uniteds shiiitt mate.

All you have is Rooney.

Crocked RVP won't help.

Your defence is awful. Midfield is even worse.

I doubt you will even get into top4.

Funny how your decline has started since saf left.

we probably let in one of the fewest shots on our goal this season. I think de gea has saved the fewest shots this season in the league.

How is Arsenal's squad too weak? I for one have seen plenty of Arsenal fans saying they've had more injuries on the table than most of the other top teams in this division. In fact, Arsenal currently have the joint most in the division with 6 (along with Swansea and Norwich) and although not all are first team players, they are on the fringes and Arsenal do like to play a rotation game.

Arsenal have one very good striker on very good form, shows that he is a good player. In fact, regarding you're post above, the only thing Arsenal need is another top striker to play back-up to Giroud or maybe someone to start up top instead.

Yeah but every striker misses chances. Although, it just depends who finds the net really. Rooney has been playing in different positions and has done well to adapt to them as it could have been a lot worse for him.

It's all about applying what you did under SAF into Moyes, but obviously, they have different systems and different coaching staff which isn't even Europa League standard, so, there are plenty of factors to United's failure so far this season.

But I don't agree with you saying that Arsenal's squad doesn't have enough depth.

Looking at our team tonight, I can see why many in the media doubt us.

We simply don't have the squad depth to match the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, this is where they will come strong. As the mid-week games come flying in, we'll begin to get a bigger picture about our title hopes and the teams directly below us.

If Wenger can rotate appropriately and get the results while resting key players then we'll be in a great position to win the title. Imo, our second choice full-backs and CF let the squad strength down... - Yet Fergie managed to win titles with the likes of O'Shea, Wes Brown and Phil Neville to name a few, so I am very confident we can prove the pundits wrong.

I do actually think it is. Quality isn't much difference between yours and Chelsea's actually. Man City, maybe not. But you have enough in the tank to win the league.

Wenger does like to rotate in tough situations where maybe some players don't perform well enough which makes you're side consistent, but what doesn't then is the fact that it's unbalancing the side for the one's like Koscielny that consistently play and play well, so when new players come in every week, it's tough going for them. So it then does balance itself out to inconsistency unfortunately for Arsenal. That balance is like flipping a coin, it's a 50-50 chance, unfortunately, you hit the wrong side and teams like City, Chelsea and United get the correct side of the coin. This season, it's you on the right side of the coin.

We were very lucky to draw against Spurs and Cardiff?!?

Spurs one was close but we were the better team.

Cardiff game wasnt even close they were very lucky to get the point.

Last season. Unless Fergie comes out of retirement that ain't happening again.

The funny thing was savage was trolling us in media he was on the radio commentating I think our game, yesterday he was amazed by how well we played and probably realised our strikers are shocking. Its so annoying that we really should have beaten cardiff and everton yet get only 1 point from those games. A point against tottenham was fair enough. 5 more points and man utd would be in touch. Now the season looks over. I wonder if this is by a long way man utd worst start to the season.
