Also, I think I hate Walker. All the attributes but no clue whatsoever. AVB running half way down the pitch to tell him how to take a throw without fucking it up sums him up as a footballer and as a human being.
I don't think Paulinho should be starting . and from what I've seen of him in the last 3 games he was a little overpriced.
If I had a say I'd go back for a Dembele - Sandro duo like last season with holtby , sigurdsson or eriksen in front of them.
Dembele and Sandro were the best midfield in the league . even in our worst games last season we kept possession much better than this.
we learned that Dembele is not good in an advanced position. He should go back to where he shined last year. No way paulinho is worth getting him out of position.
I think Arsenal deserved to win but what worries me is no goals from open play.
The same problems are there from last season in that our movement is sub standard.
I also don't believe in this 4-3-3 formation. We if we're playing one up it has to be 4-2-3-1, especially with Soldado. I said after the Palace game that he will end up a very frustrated figure if we stick with 4-3-3.
don't forget it took Sandro at least 1/2 season to settle in after moving from the Brazilian League - there is quite an adjustment to make before we see the best of him. He has already shown some quality.I don't think Paulinho should be starting . and from what I've seen of him in the last 3 games he was a little overpriced.

I still think Paulinho should be more advanced. I didn't like seeing Dembele play further forward. Although I'm interested to see how Eriksen can do in there.I was wrong. We cannot play paulinho and dembele together or sandro and capoue. They're too similar to each other. Its got to be paulinho and sandro with holtby or eriksen (creator) in front of them. To those of you who knew that already, sorry it took so long to sink in..!
Also, Dawson will never fit this system. So poor today. He just doesn't have the skill or pace. But I'd worked that one out already.
They were absolutely the better team and the reason being is that they got their tactics right.
They were pressing us fucking hard from the get go and as usual looked fairly dangerous on the break.
They didn't actually look as dangerous as they usually do against us at the Emirates so that's fairly reassuring, and once Eriksen and Lamela become fully integrated with the side I think we'll be ok.
But it wasn't unlucky that we lost today. Seriously.
I repeat. It's virtually their first time playing together. Especially in NLD. Give the guys some slack. In time, I'm sure they will get a sense of the occassion. We will become the better team. IN TIME. Most Arse players hate us. Half our team haven't yet developed that passion. Good grief people.
I can't watch matches for you, and I'm not anoraky enough to keep files/notes.
The Emirates is so hard to come in and win. That being said we need to take Dembele out. He has been missing for a long time now. Whether it is eriksen or holtby.
