I was watching the Everton highlights again the other night and i couldnt stop thinking that Verms in that one performance, outshone all the other LBs since Cole for us.
If we could clone him two times (clone 1 LB, original LCB, clone 2 RCB) id be over the moon.
Miquel aint that bad, he looked more solid against Olympiakos than a lot of the other experienced players 'fighting' to prove themselves.
Im actually quite impressed with the 4 CBs formation, has anyone else noticed that because DJ and Verms tend not to go so far forward so often, we seem to be a lot less suseptable to easy counters and the flailing that traditionally accompanies them?
We look hella solid at the back at the moment, corners seem minor now that Verms and scsenzny are about to cannon a header out or scoop the ball out the air.
I cant believe that injury is more tactically adept than Wenger at times.
While im resigned to some sort of niggling injury at some point to one of them, its the Arsenal way, it aint happened yet, so if we can get through this busy period, i recon we'll be alright!
