trio of Jack, Santi and the littlest Mozart :rubchin:
Bayern Munich are far better than Arsenal, and have already made better sides than them look silly this season. Similarly, a score of 3-1 would not be an almighty shock were they to encounter Manchester United later in the competition, in the same way that the three other English clubs would likely have struggled to escape the group in which Manchester City were biletted. In both cases, the principal point for criticism is the manner of the beatings, and for Arsenal, this is due in part to the shape of the team. Mikel Arteta is a decent player, particularly given feet that would not look out of place in ballet shoes, but he is not good enough to justify compromising Santi Cazorla. Cazorla is still able to contribute from wide areas because he is very good, but his principal talents lie in other areas. Given time, Jack Wilshere will mature into a goalscoring, goalmaking midfielder, but his ability as a general is such that with him and Cazorla in the centre of the pitch, Arsenal ought to enjoy sufficient possession as not to require a third man sitting deeper. Instead, inserting Rosicky, who always seeks to move the ball forward, and quickly, would inject the tempo that is missing from their attacking play. Wenger bought Cazorla to play centrally and will know that things aren't working; a home game with Villa is the perfect opportunity to start making them right.
