    Has anyone else noticed that since Zinny was injured

    we are much more stable at the back and keeping clean sheets.

    Without any noticeable drop off in scoring goals, quite the opposite

    I think our two former Man City players do not immediately get into the starting xi when they are back. Trossard and Havertz are playing nicely together too

    Well, we're scoring for fun so hard to see Arteta making many changes up front or in midfield.

    Amazing given that we have a DM who can't pass between the lines.

    Yes, my boy told me awhile back that he (Zinny) was a midfielder by trade but essentially too good to be left out yet not disciplined ("beefy" as Anaconda might say) enough to be trusted to hold the middle of the park together.

    Playing him at full-back is simply the best compromise anybody's come up with. Risk versus Reward and a' that.

    True, but perhaps we've discovered that the risk is not needed as the other players are getting used to each other and/or playing at a higher level so we're scoring goals without the need for a risky left back.

    Personally, red, I'm with George - let's get it right at the back

    Kiwior getting better and better each match. Wasn't much of a fan to begin with but beginning to warm to him now.

    He's a midfielder. How anyone thinks he's a defender, is beyond me.

    Decent work for our fourth. Should've trusted him earlier last season; he was a big part of the reason we won the January transfer window. Signed him because we didn't much fancy Rob Holding anymore but then we played Rob anyway

    He's like Flamini. He works at full-back so long as he never gets caught actually playing in the full-back position (which Flamini did not, of course). Well-covered on the inside by Senderos and ahead by Reyes; those balls in behind had to be perfect. And they never were, rarely are.

    No point defending if you can't score goals. George knew that. #9
