cracks forming?

1-1 villa
0-2 champions leagie
3-6 city
Sad to admit but with losses to both Manchesters and possible a loss to Chelsea next week I think we are pretenders.

We need to buy in Jan desperately.

only positive is we dont have to travel to Manchester again this season also the nine days rest till the chelsea game will give our players a much needed rest. Arsenal need 1 quality striker 1 quality cb and a strong midfielder like pogba to boss the mids which was lacking against yaya toure and fernandinho

Im sick of this 4-5-1 bullshit too, Giroud needs a partner up front.

They won't be if they take this form back to The Emirates when they face Chelsea in like 10 days or so...

back-to-back losses (Napoli, then City)...
8 goals conceded after both games...
Koscielny reportedly injured...
Wilshere set to miss the Chelsea game because he had to flip the bird at the crowd... the fkn idiot.
Mertesacker has the sh!ts with Ozil (or so it seemed)...
Defensive errors creeping in to our game...

Doesn't look good, does it?

Arsenal have drawn Bayern Munich for the last 16 in the Champions League

Tough fixture, but you fellas played them last time round so Wenger will know what to expect and improve on

Bayern munich are not as good without Bastian schweinsteiger the last two losses bayern had in the champions league were both to city and arsenal where he wasn't playing. in saying that arsenal need a striker not cup tied but i cant see many good strikers apart from Suarez maybe benteke or Muriel might be a good option at this stage

Why don't you guys look into Lukaku? After his loan at Everton of course, seems to be down the pecking order at Stanford Bridge

I mean he keeps getting shipped out on loan at Chelsea, it's worth a shot trying to lure him to Arsenal with the promise of regular first team football

He's a real talent, one to watch for the future

And as doggies 4 life pointed out - Benteke would also be a handy addition

Chelsea wont sell to arsenal so i cant see lukaku joining arsenal unless he hands in a transfer request. benteke wouldn't come cheap but he will offer more than giroud and as for michu he hasn't scored many goals this season for Swansea

That's true, but the promise of regular football at Arsenal may be able to lure Lukaku into handing in a request - worth a shot

Benteke is valued at around the 20mil mark I believe? Villa will most likely ask for a lot more

What about Benzema, that was supposedly a done deal by all reports - I know his cup tied, but is he coming in January or over the summer?

Bayern are the only undefeated team left in the world (in the Bundesliga) and will destroy us in Munich... I'm really worried about our current schedule.

Who would have thought that Aaron Ramsay was a halfback for the u14s welsh team and was very close to sign with St Helens at 15?

Chelsea were very lucky to get a point, Walcott was tripped in the box but the rorted ref didn't award the penalty.

I thought the run of play was fairly even until late in the match.

I couldn't fathom some of Wengers choices. I would have played Flamini ahead of Arteta. Not only is he a better DM, but it allows Ramsay to play higher up the pitch.

Also, no subs were used. Why didn't Cazorla get played? Even Flamini, since he didn't start.
