We still don't have a 30 goal a year guy (how many of those are there?) but suddenly our defence looks stronger and more competitive, our midfield is not just creative but wins balls and our forwards are getting goals and also harrying the opposing defences.
Seems to me maybe some of it was attitude. Why on earth it should have changed suddenly, I don't know.
You're right, of course, but that's not really the issue anymore, is it. Everyone agrees, and has done for years, that at various points during the season, we will look like the best team on the planet. We all know our team is capable of doing anything we want and need, except win the title.
At this time, there's nowhere near enough evidence to say with any confidence that *anything* has changed, imo. But that's just football, the brilliant, Beautiful Game, as it should be.
"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."
Before this was normally on the basis of having a wonderful (mostly) first XI who on their day could beat anyone if they clicked.
But there seems to be more depth in our squad and what I'm liking is the pressing we have now done for for the past couple of games. It seems like a new gameplan to me.
We had an excellent transfer window imo.
from no defense to one that looks extremely strong. I think we have the best back 4 in the league.
Alexis and Ozil seem to be playing very well. A suspicious person would link it to the contract renewal.
Walcott is playing well.
And Sanchez is adapting to his new roll well.
It can all go tits up quickly though.
Our cringingly poor defensive performance in the 3-4 loss to Liverpool was possibly the best defeat we've ever had.
