Arsenal vs QPR

Dan Hakim wrote:So, here's an interesting thing: Arsenal have conceded 6 goals in 9 games in the league, the fewest by any team.

That's right, folks, we have the best defense in the league.

Also, Arsenal have picked up just seven yellow cards in nine Premier League matches this season.

We might as well be shipping 20 goals if we are converting hardly anything....

Looking at another team we faced that take nothing away from QPR they held us well. Until the foolish sending off...I know people will shout to the 'oh we should be hounding teams like this but the premiership and arsenal have moved on since then the only problem being is how little we have developed in that time,players leaving is just one thing to look at...
I would have thought that after all his time at arsenal Wenger would have found the ability to create a plan 'B' another way we have not pushed on from the good ol days...there just seams a lack of ideas within our play....for all the technical abaility we seam to be oozing none of it is coming to fruit...I hope that sooner rather than later we can get everybody fit and together for a good run just to help us find this play....

Or come Sunday evening after the united game next week it could be...god help us,

And which by the way I am not looking forward to one bit.....

I don't think people have migrated, probably just couldn't be arsed to come onto a forum away from the usual social networks to discuss Arsenal.

I still want to see him play behind the striker before he leaves, even if it means no defensive work, at least against easy oppositions at home. Also, I am quite disappointed in Podolski, he has faded recently.

I think, as has been mentioned, Poldi's drop in output coincides with Santos moving into his positions. We've also seen Santi move out wide left a bit more since Santos has come into the team. It just changes how they play.

A great quote from Goodplaya.com:
"UP FRONT…
Your heart sinks frankly. It is not a comment so much on the quality of the players as the simple lack of them. That said, it is worth noting that for the first time in 21 years (ie since Ian Wright signed) we no longer possess a striker that genuinely excites."



Truth. Wright, Henry, Bergkamp, Van Persie. Giroud and Poldi haven't filled those boots. January?

A new striker has to be signed come January......

Especially since Gervinho is leaving for the ACON.
