Observations over the last few games:

Chambers is not a right back, every time he plays there he gets absolutely rinsed, usually by pretty average wingers. Markovic destroyed him, and for the short amount of time he was on v QPR Junior Hoilett was shrugging him off and getting crosses in far too easily. Have Jenks as 2nd choice next season (been great for W Ham). Move Chambers to CB or CDM on regular basis.

Cazorla has found his mojo. he's scoring goals, assisting, pulling the strings in midfield and looks lethal in the final third. His dribing and range of passing is immense. I don't think Ozil should come straight back into the side with him in this form.

Welbeck, hard worker, good player. Not a first choice starter, but makes a great plan b. 7 goals in half a season isn't a good enough return imo. May sound a bit harsh.

Koscielny holds our defence together. Now we just need a commanding CDM infront of him. Flamini does a lot of shouting but not enough tackling. Think Chamber would be good here, given a chance.

2-1 away at West Ham is a fantastic result. Lucky to be 2-0 up at halftime but on another day we would have got another 2 or 3 in the second half. Great defensive display and resilience.

4th Place trophy here we come :)

Good post as usual Detroit, don't fancy Callum at DM mate and the 4th place trophy needs melting down for scrap. I hope uafa decide only 3 champions league places for the PL club in 2016/17 because at least then we'd finish 3rd every year

Jenko wants first team football why he went on loan, he isn't going to come back to play back up and ideally you don't want a lot of rotation at the back so as long as Debuchy doesn't get any serious injuries he's not gna play that regularly

I agree with you about Chambers at DM, he's very good on the ball with a great touch, tall and commanding, AW converted Petit into a DM and insists on playing Monreal at CB, I'd give Chambers at go in midfield too.

Carzola is playing better it seems when asked to drop deeper, almost alongside the DM. I think he's more positionally aware than some of the other attacking players and holds the ball well under pressure. The return from Welbeck isn't good enough no, but that's always been the criticism of him and somethign we need to work on.

And yes, it should have been 4 or 5-1 to AFC yesterday, they were overrun and outplayed in the second half especially.
