Hello Eds

After watching the match today and again seeing us lose again mainly due to our lack of a good defensive midfielder. albeit preseason friendly and all.

I also read what Wenger said after and he almost seemed to say we have enough Defensive midfielders. please tell me this is not true and he is pulling our legs!

I can just about deal with Giroud but i'm sorry Arteta is not capable anymore nor has been for 2 years. Wenger needs to stop this love affair with him

We lost because lack of DM. 'Cause we scored so many goals but just couldn't keep them out. Got it.

We lost because we couldn't man mark at a free kick

Well actually, you can score 0 goals and not lose. Because we got walked all over in CM by Kongdobia and Bakayoko it inhibited us from playing well.

Much in the same way we got smashed by all of our big rivals at certain points of last season.

Fair point Wex.

Just would caution that it will take more than a DM to get us over the top or any other single signing, it will take the whole team coming together.

We still have good footballers playing there in Flamini/Arteta. Still, am encouraged by the Carvalho rumors, he would look great in the rotation.

Cheers
