Besides by the injury, good game by the lads. Don't like Theo but was impressed a bit with him.

Elneny must start our games. He gives us mobility. Xhaka - Coq patnership is too static for me.


........ 1 - nil to The Arsenal

I agree Coq is /can become a liability.

Because he's not very good. Too limited a defender.

That doesn't make him good enough to start regularly alongside Koscielny. We need better.

Shawcross more than good enough for prem games imo. Stoke defence falls apart without him, he's a leader and a solid player.

Shawcross is in the huth/morgan category, under a good tactician that has a solid team shape, defends deep, forces teams out wide and doesn't over expose itself on the counter he wiill do well.

Post game comments regarding the centre back search

I’ve said many times that we are in the market. Of course it’s not an easy market for us. Let’s hope we have good news from Gabriel. Laurent Koscielny is back in training [on Monday] but he might be short for next week. If Gabriel is out, Per Mertesacker is out and Koscielny not ready - that’s a lot of players.

Even Podolski used to ruin them for fun when he was here.
