buying policy. Ozil showed the way (sort of) in proving we can buy big names, we have to reinforce every transfer window by getting players that are better than what we have.

And we have to give our youth players more chances. I was disappointed with the sale of Yennaris, for example. What had he done to prove he wasn't good enough for the Arsenal?

We dropped points at Southampton because we had a team tired from beating Coventry. Surely we should be a team who always has half a dozen kids with a chance of making it? But they need to be given chances. We're not doing enough of that which makes the pressure on our smallish squad of experienced players even worse.
