I think we're all desperate to see more of our two new big money signings. Things *are* going alright though, in fairness.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
The 'Alexis as centre forward' experiment, decried as folly by so many, is clearly starting to bear fruit. I imagine that he will be keen to continue with it as it continues to improve with familiarity.
I'm quite easy about not seeing them if we're doing well. But Xhaka has to play tonight with Coq out and with Girouf missing it's a chance to give Perez a run-out and see how he links with the other small fleet-flooted boys.
If it doesn't work then bring Santi on for him in the second half. It's also about using our squad.
Maybe he's got Alexis back on the gear?He was rubbish when it wore off last year.
The problem for Alexis, and indeed the team, is that if we don't win the league, it will be deemed to have failed. The first thing we, I mean, of course "Arsene Wenger", will do is look for a "proper" striker.

I must say you do take this whole thing very seriously M.
It surely won't have failed if he gets 35 goals and we come second to a 110-point Man City.
Well it is an Arsenal forum. We have a game tonight. Makes more sense to talk about that than lunch or Corbyn to me.
Oh, of course, we'll win the famous old Not Playing a Proper Striker and Finishing Second Cup, I suppose. I just feel everyone wants more than that, at this stage.
