Nice result. Expected Bradford to win by a 3 goal margin at least against an Arsenal side with no striker or wingers.

Look at the bright side, Gervinho will be gone soon for a while at the African Cup of Nations

Sounds like rubbish to me. The whole story is based on quotes from that retard Stewart Robson. The same man who thinks Wenger should have been sacked after the 07-08 season.

I love how so many of you make it seem like Gervinho is the cause of our issues when he clearly isn't.

He's a big cause to be frank. Obviously there's other reasons such as our CB's just can't defend these days, but Gervinho has literally wasted so many chances of late it's ridiculous.
I'd much rather we played:
Szczesny
Sagna - Mertesacker - Vermaelen - Gibbs
Arteta - Wilshere
Chamberlain - Cazorla - Rosicky
Giroud
Subs:
Mannone
Jenkinson
Djourou
Coquelin
Ramsey
Podolski
Gervinho
For the next game, and when everyone's fit:
Szczesny
Sagna - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Gibbs
Diaby - Wilshere
Walcott - Cazorla - Podolski
Giroud
Sagna - Mertesacker - Vermaelen - Gibbs
Arteta - Wilshere
Chamberlain - Cazorla - Rosicky
Giroud
Subs:
Mannone
Jenkinson
Djourou
Coquelin
Ramsey
Podolski
Gervinho

Szczesny
Sagna - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Gibbs
Diaby - Wilshere
Walcott - Cazorla - Podolski
Giroud

We should be playing 2 wingers and a striker every game. Fuck all this wasting strikers and midfielders at wide men, it's ridiculous.

Definitely not the cause of the problems, but Definetly shouldn't be playing. Arshavin is a better option

You'd play Vermaelen instead of Mertesacker? I think Mertesacker has been our best defender this season, quite comfortably. I admit he hasn't been up to his best the last few matches, but Vermaelen hasn't been his best for over a season now, bar a few matches in which he did impress.
I'd like to see Cazorla on the wing if Rosicky is fully fit. Rosicky's class, he keeps things ticking and so far his chemistry with Cazorla seems to be really good. Not until Rosicky came on, we were able to push Bradford back to their own box, mostly because of Rosicky and Cazorla. Cazorla will draw himself to the middle more than often, so it's not like it's sticking him to the sideline.
Not sure about Diaby. The guy is very physical, something we currently lack in our midfield, but can he really be relied on? Good call, though, because he does have the necesarry skills to be a useful player in our midfield.
In a few weeks, my line-up would be something like this:
Szczesny
Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Gibbs
Arteta - Wilshere
Rosicky
Chamberlain - Giroud - Cazorla
This is assuming Diaby isn't fit and Walcott still playing hardball (or even left the club). We definitely need a quality winger. I like Chamberlain, I think he impressed a lot last season, but this season he hasn't been good. He impressed me most when he was playing in the middle, so I don't like sticking him to the wing. His crosses are dreadful aswell. Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Gibbs
Arteta - Wilshere
Rosicky
Chamberlain - Giroud - Cazorla
I like Griezmann, from what I've seen (which is not a lot). He's quick, but not lightning fast, tricky, has a good cross, isn't afraid to go on 1 on 1 with his defender and has excellent dribbling skills. I haven't seen much of him, so I could be wrong about him here. Anyway, point is, we need another winger, someone who is actually creative, because that's something our wingers definitely are not at the moment.

I respect your opinion Arise, but you can't defend Gervinho anymore. He's been dreadful, one of our worst performers week in week out, bar the Southampton game. He is not the cause of our issues, of course not, but he shouldn't be an Arsenal player anymore. Disgrace to the shirt, tbh.

No I wouldn't but he won't be dropped. And I love Kos. And I love Rosicky too but whenever I used to mention Cazorla on the wing people thought i'd killed someone. To be fair they'd interchange a lot so wouldn't matter too much on paper.
I also love Diaby, he can't be relied on but when he's fit i'd play him, Arteta looks a bit off atm. Although Diabys out for another month so doesn't matter too much.

My favourite goal outside of United so far this year, the whole feel of it, you were playing so well and looked like coming away with nothing.

No but he symbolises everything that's wrong with this club
Running in the wrong direction for starters
