Another poor performance from Arsenal with many question marks appearing - with no answers.
Arsenals poor performance in last weeks Champions League game against Anderlecht was then followed by a poor performance at Swansea. Just not good enough if they are serious about winning trophies this season.
Many are blaming defeat at Swansea at Monreal for another ineffective performance in central defence, but we all know that Monreal is not a central defender. So whose fault is it he has to play there?
Again, its Arsenals transfer policy and defensive qualities that needs to be looked at. Simply not good enough.5 Goals conceded in past two games against good -but not great teams.
The real question is "Are Arsenal REALLY serious about winning the Barclays Premier League -or the Champions League?" - obviously not.
Any champions needs a rock solid defence. Thats obvious - but Arsenal just dont have one. Nowhere near solid enough.
Arsene Wenger will be under pressure -and so may be his position as manager if he does not address the defence options he has, and act quickly by buying 3 quality defenders in the January transfer window.
The balance of midfield is not right. Too many similar players -each trying to do the same job. Cazorla, Wilshere, Rosicky, Podolski, Ramsey, Ozil are too similar.
Its not as simple as having quality players. In simple terms Arsenal need to have an equal or better squad than their major threats to winning trophies. The question must be "Would Giroud , Welbeck, Cazorla, Flamini, Sczzesny, Arteta, Debuchy, Monreal, Mertesacker, or Rosicky, get in the Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United team?" -......................No they would not.
Arsenal have big questions to be answered -and soon - but will they be answered and get Arsenal to be where they want to be?
