A couple of points

1. Liverpool turned up knowing our formation and tactics because they are always the same. Wenger even subs at almost the same time about 70 mins. Tactically it is predictable, and the team does not relate to form. The ox by now must realise he won't start regularly nomatter how he plays. Some of you are talking about a new formation. Never going to happen under Wenger.

2. We should have strengthened the team or at least the squad. If you don't believe there are players to do that I give up. I see lots of posts today now looking for a new CB, DM etc. Should have been done in the summer and the team prepared for the season. Other teams managed to do that. This has happened before, under Wenger it will happen again.

Maybe a panic buy on the cards now? That won't change point 1. Will it push us to challenge? Time will tell.

Barca are predictable but can anyone stop them. They have played the same way for the past 8 years. We are a diet barca. The problem we have and why it doesn't work in the EPL is that teams are physically stronger right through the league that's why we need more resolve. Our team has no meat sacks. In saying that barca would have a tougher time in the English league. It's why Chelsea , Man City do well but struggle in Europe with continental refs. We need an enforcer we can't put chambers at CB. Regardless of talent there is a big difference between men and boys

Messi browgun?

That's the difference in Barcelona and everyone else who tries to play like them.

They didn't have this dominate without Messi, they have always played the same way. Always been a good team but this is down to what Messi can do and more to the point the fact he guarantees atleast 45 goals before the season has begun.

Use need lewondowski and Morgan Sch but nit it has to he William.

Lol even our invincible season we were predictable, teams knew what we were going to do which was kill them, and they couldn't stop us. Us being predictable is a load of crap due to which we loose points, its the performance on the day which counts. Sometimes the things with which people come up here is beyond ridiculous.

Didn't understand last bit. But regardless of messi barca would have a tough time in English league . We can't play like that hence diet barca. We need more steel and discipline throughout the squad.

You are comparing the invincible season to the current team. When you are world class you can be predictable. It doesn't work now that is the point. Thus, what you are saying is beyond ridiculous.
"Due to which we loose points" I'm not even sure what that was meant to be...

Brow I was saying Messi is the reason noone else can consistently play like that.

You need steel to win over here and I said above Morgan Sch would of been perfect but now it has to be William carvalho and also lewondowski because he offers wh at giroud does but also the threat in behind.

And yes mystifier the invincible were predictable.. Who again? Henry, Berkamp, silva, Vieira, cole, Pires?

That's why used smashed teams.

Liverpool played great a couple of years ago with sterling, sturridge and suarez but can't continue to play that way because they don't have the players, thy need to adapt so unless arsene pulls a Messi out of the academy or abroad then you have to have a plan b.

Arsenal before every season begins are title challenegers and are guaranteed 70 points

It's how you get the extra points.

There's 6/8 with Cech. 3 last night
Lewondowski gets probably 3/4
Morgan / William 3/4 (helping you get abcouple of draw throughout the season at the ethiad for example)

So there's 12/18 which with a bit of luck here and there could be the title.

If no additions aren't made then I'm afraid thete no title
