Personally, I'm disappointed. You seem to have lost a fair bit of your flair. Maybe it's confidence.

Wenger continues to hold you back from being a genuine title contender, not really surprised to be honest been the same for a number of years.

Luckily he'll never get the sack which is to our benefit. Once he's gone and you finally fix your horrifically obvious problems you'll be a scary team to face, and likely get a title.

Wenger ruins strikers, he's obsessed with putting them on the wing. He also needs to buy a centre back in January.

A bit ropey in patches (like us) but you appear to be coming into some decent form now (like us). I still think Arsenal are the third best team in the league and expect you to finish that high this season. Sanchez has been a fantastic signing so far.

Injuries have played their part, but I look at your team and see no real leadership, a DM in the summer such as Khedira or Fernando would have made a massive differende to your side.

Strange comment since Wenger is most famous for turning wide forwards into strikers like Henry and RVP. I cannot think of one striker Wenger has ruined unless you are putting the blame on him for Jeffers. Some have failed at Arsenal like Chamakh, but that's more to do with them not being good enough. Wenger generally has been fantastic at improving young talent. Klopp's recent failure at Dortmund shows just how impressive Wenger was in keeping Arsenal in the top 4 even though he lost a star player every season.

Khedira is not a defensive midfielder. He is a box to box midfielder and whilst he would have improved Arsenal he is not exactly the answer to their problems. Lars Bender should be the man Wenger is after, but Leverkusen are doing quite well.

Fair comments guys, I agree with them in the main, (apart from the Wenger ruins strikers point).

It's been a pretty horrible start, injuries (AGAIN)! playing a part, Wengers leaving gaping holes at centre back & his reluctance to sign a truly class central midfielder with some power playing another part. Some of the tactics (or what looks like non tactics at times) are another issue. The problem is these same statements have been getting rolled out for the last few years, & nothing seems to improve.

Some positives I suppose are obviously Sanchez looking great. The defence looks a lot better now that Koscielny is back (but again the fear that he could break down at any moment hovers over us), hopefully Debuchy can help with that as well...... and we he seem to have a bit more pace and dynamism going forward AT TIMES compared to the latter end of last season....again, hopefully Walcott can add to this to when he gets back.

Concerned about Ramsey's form though, & the reliance on a Flamini & out of form Ramsey central midfield partnership over the festive period. Also concerned about the lack of goals outwith Sanchez (again hopefully Walcott coming back can add another dimension).

Hopefully we can push on now & try & string a run of results together & see where that takes us, I agree at least up to 3rd place is there for the taking, unless you guys have a major slump.

Sanchez will look good in City blue.
