Arsenal sink or swim?

Arsenal lost 0 -2 to Chelsea, and some Gooners are already giving up on the title race.

Dont.
Yesterday was not Arsenals best day. Too many players just did not perform. Surely the players saw the importance of that game? Not only would an Arsenal victory pegged back Chelsea - who seem already thinking they have won the league, but it would have given everybody confidence in Arsenal to make a serious challenge for the title.
Why dont give up?  Firstly, Arsenal will be so much stronger soon. Walcott, Ramsey, Debuchy, Giroud back soon in the squad. Also the next transfer window MUST give Wenger the chance to build where he needs to. Those transfer targets must be identified now, and brought in in January.
It sounds obvious to say "throw money at it" but Arsenal do not have a choice. The squads at Manchester City, and Chelsea are stronger - very few would argue with that. Manchester United will strengthen in January -  they see they need to have a stronger squad - just as Arsenal do. Liverpool too will not lie down and slip down that Premier League. They will sign big in January.
So Wenger needs to take a long look at some players who Gooners love - but are just not doing it. Who? Cazorla,  Flamini, Arteta, Podolski, and Wilshere for a start. If those went on the transfer list, would Chelsea or Manchester City, or Manchester United be interested? -No I dont think so.
So Gooners - there is no need to panic. But Gooners must be hoping that Arsenal compete to sign world class players as soon as possible and not have yet another season which promises much -but delivers little.
