You may be onto something there. The defence really ought to be showing noticeable indications of improvement by now. Or, if that's asking for too much, too soon, at least it should be showing signs of rudimentary intelligent life.
"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 CL isn't that important anymore anyway. It's just for the club's status, self-esteem.
At least, money is the very least of our concerns just now
i find it odd. as this 'Champions league' football seems to be the big deal everyone wants.
If they didn't piss about the last few games they could have already secured it.
Valencia will be a much harder fixture than they will anticipate. Where are a week ago a lot of fans said we already won the thing

That's my worry.
We've added a new, supposedly long term solution goalie, an experienced top level CH who's supposed to be our first choice no.5 for 3-4 seasons, and a very highly rated, young, DM, of the type we all thought we'd been crying out for to the squad AW finished the season with.
Coupled with that Auba's kept banging them despite not starting half the time and Laca's looking more and more like the striker we thought we signed. Pace and finishing but with upper body strength and skills.
Yet we seem to have gone backwards to me. Well if not backwards, I'd have expected AW to have done more with this squad, even allowing for the long term injuries to Kos in the first half and Hector and RH later on.
Look at the header they scored. Ball whipped in, there are 4 of them between our supposed back lie and our deepest lying defender. With Leno coming for a ball he'd a never get.
That's after almost a whole season. And we've no creativity unless we play our big 4 up front and now Rambo's deaded. Ho hum.
Perhaps Emery's problems is the lack of drugs or just not very good ones.
"Scoring a goal is better than sex" - Whoever said that was sticking it to the wrong woman
You can't legislate for Kamikaze defending, g
One defender playing 5 players onside from a set piece - criminal
One defender not even making a challenge, never mind not taking Jota out on his run into the box when there is cover behind - criminal
I'll give Kos the benefit of the doubt that he didn't duck under the free kick
You could see in the second half that the defensive structure (ha!) melted as all the defenders start to get attracted to the ball because there is no trust in each other.
I thought Wolves looked very defensively solid in comparison.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
I agree with all that.
But surely the priority was to get the defence sorted. We saw at the start of the season that we could still play Wengerball.
But why didn't we insist that Dick too a defensive coack with PL experience?
We've jumped about from fromation to formation and with 4th place in our grasp, we've shipped 6 in two against supposedly weaker teams. Criminal.
We jad Leno, Kos, Sok and Nacho and we do that?
I'd rather have Georgie Graham back.
Emery is rubbish. He should go. The end.
