He should just play all the reserves/under 21's and be done with it. Let the kit man do the tactics and maybe ..just maybe we stand a chance! :barscarf:

So many players need a break. The entire back 4 & Sanchez & Ozil to begin with.

Ospina, Debuchy, Holding, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Coquelin, Elneny, Chamberlain, Iwobi, Walcott, Perez.

A colleague of mine was in the same hotel as the Arsenal team on Friday night this week (I didn't know they did that for home games!)
He said he spent the night talking to Mustafi who was a decent chap but he also said there is something seriously wrong with the squad mentality. Most of the players were talking about the Sunderland game this coming Saturday. He said they were dismissive of Middlesbrough and Reading and were talking about "getting those two easy games out the way" but Sunderland away will be more difficult. He said they were really arrogant about it and had almost assumed that they will win them. Ozil apparently told him that the "Middlesbrough will fold as soon as we score so the game will be over by half time".

If that's the case then I'm going for a draw. :roll:

no he isn't, he showed me a photograph of himself with a few of the team. He's an intelligent man and a fairly honest one. It isn't his style.

And posting three times doesn't make your point any more valid, especially when you quote yourself :wink: :D

This wouldn't surprise me one iota im afraid.Look at some of the tepid lethargic shite we serve up at times..every game is a hard game or at least that's the mentality our squad should always have.It speaks volumes about them,I imagine when we nicked our late winner in Feb at home to Leicester they thought the job was done (look at the embarrassing selfies) when all it did was galvanise leicester and we folded like a cheap tent,anuses.

I can't understand why the players thought that Sunderland would be the harder match!
I would have thought that was the easiest out of the 3. they have managed just 2 draws all season!!
