[...] in the defense. They really missed Flamini hounding at the ball and Gilberto’s steadiness. Then the implosion of Captain Gallas. I get where he was coming from but I still expected something more from a leader. Fabregas goes [...]

I’ve been tied up with travel (Albaquerky underground etc) lately and haven’t seen too many games lives and in full. But it’s easy to see we are on a bit of a struggle. Wth so many experienced players out, it really did look like a young side just on the verge or doing something great, but not getting it all right. I imagine most commentators won’t be too heavy handed with their accolades! … But they held their concentration, with Cec providing good,solid leadership throughout the game and fantastic concentration for the brilliant assist. Patience, fellow fans…we’ll be OK.

Hey Guys

I am lucky enough to be going to the game today and I will be booing as hard as i can if gallas makes an appearance. I have never liked him from the start and I hope we get rid of him soon.

Fabregas is the prefect choise and it will help the club to be on its orignal form.many loose to Arsenal it wil hurt the club for next season’s champion league.

I even haven’t read so much of the above. Truth hurts but let it be told. It isnt just Gallas,if its Gallas,then its Wenger,its almost all the team for reasons you all know.
Somehow,someone has had to pay the price and bear more responsibility–i “understand” . Any change is good enough especially in situations like Arsenal is in.Alot more has to change,has to be done than just this Gallas thing. In good or bad–i remain Arsenal but i nolonger wear my Arsenal jerseys,shout arsenal with the arrogance i used to. Am feeling it!

Nice to see SF back writing wonderful post. While I disagree with some of your ideas still most of them are thoughtful.

1. Happy for Cesc as our new captain and best wishes for him. He is a bit young and now he has to lead worst Arsenal team of last 20 years. Wenger must buy at least two players in Janaury who can improve this team quickly. A CDM and a CB/Keeper will bring a vast change in this team.

2. I don’t know how you came up with the idea that Almunia has done good for last two years. Top keepers gain points for the team but we have lost a lot under Almunia. Also believing him as the first-choice contender for captain is really mis-leading. A championship level keeper who cannot lead his 6 yard box can never lead Arsenal.

3. Song and Diaby are the worst players in Arsenal squad. I cannot believe some people still rate him including Spanishfry but the fact is they cannot walk into even Everton/Fulham first team.

4. I rate Bentdner but also accept he has been abysmal playing for Arsenal. Everytime he plays for Denmark he does really good and he is still 20, no reason to write him off. Also he cannot play as a lone striker.

5. I really hate Adebayor for many reasons both footballing and character-wise. Still I believe he is important for this team, only this season. I would like him to be sold come summer and bring a real striker like Villa.

Good luck Cesc and Arsenal for Todays’s match. We are in a need of a desperate win. We also want to start Cesc Era with a win. New club captain and a CL win will provide a huge boost ahead of Chelski-Moscow.

Come on Arenal!!!!!!!!!

Actually now that I think about it Bendtner may be a good example of why Ade is so important… he is tall, good with his head, and works hard but is absolutely useless out there… Either way I have always said I am fine with keeping Adebayor…

Vela absolutely needs to start in place of Bendtner these next few games… Im honestly glad Gallas is still gonna be playing. 2 january signings are all we need- a CB and a DMF (more importantly. I think a Keeper for the future is also required but it can probably wait until the summer unless someone good becomes available right away…

I think Cesc will step up.

His a champion player guys. His made for this. His a really special talent. His only 20. Wait till his peaking at 25. WOW.

Ade is vital for arsenal. Look at the guy. His tall, lanky, fast, works hard. Hed be hell to mark.
YES he misses alot of chances but honestly who doesnt ? (Anelka, Rooney, Tevez, are all strikers that miss alot of chances.) Its the fact he gets chances is what you have to look at !

Bendtner should be seeing nothing but the bench…hed be ok to bring on in the final 10 minutes of a game.

You build winning teams from the back. You have a solid defence and the rest works itself out. The other players are given the freedom to express themselves. Get a CB and DMF and arsenal will be back to there best.

Maybe i should manage arsenal? what u think spanish ?

this captaincy is either a boom or bust, either he’ll be great, and get better from finally having the title that he’s had for so long, or either his form will suffer b/c he’s under stress from the press, hopefully itll be the former.

@ Mexican Gunner – Adebayor had a lot of hype over him and what has he done? A hat-trick v Blackburn in the EPL! I will say he has performed really well in the CL though!

@ Demetrio – Had not even thought of Song, I was thinking of a player to take Bendtner out of the team but couldn’t. So this is mine (and Demetrios) Starting XI v Kyiv:
4-1-3-2
Almunia
Gallas-Djourou-Silvestre-Clichy
Song
Wilshere-Fabregas(CAPTAIN:D)-Ramsey
Van Persie-Vela

However I just get the feeling AW will go with Bendtner and Denilson like normal!
