I will be so glad to see flamini back in as holding midfield - I love what arteta has done for Arsenal, but against big teams we need steel, and I feel liverpool away highlighted that.

With Flamini in place protecting the back for Jack and the other mids can push on without the nerves.

We need one more DM in the summer.

Also, if podoski doesn't play 70 mins at the weekend, there is something odd going on.

We missed a chance Wednesday.

I'm afraid that Arteta's best years have passed. He is now too slow, either gives the ball away or passes backwards or sideways. Flamini a better option but real class in that position is needed.

Gundogan would be nice. Unlikely, but nice. 5 years younger than our current holding mids, so perfect for transition.
