So apart from a world class striker, world class DM and world class goalkeeper (you didn't mention GK but that was just an oversight, right?) we could win the plaugie wrote:kiwomya wrote:No chance.

this is exactly what a politician would do. Immediate damage control and deflect... "oh look....EVERY english team is out of the CL....how shyte all of us are" ....no bitch, it's just us! and i dont even really believe that this group of players couldnt win the league...just not with HIM at the helm. minus a few tactical adjustments the players are (mostly) not the problem
In my opinion, and I know this sounds a bit wacky even for me, but I believe that we def have the basis of a title winning sideWe have proper defenders but dont do defensive coaching or shape
We have quality midfielders but lack a midfield enforcer plus the formation isnt working
Up front we lack a real quality top of the range striker who will make the difference when the team plays bad - if we had such a player alongside podolski or even giroud or possibly even wally in a 4-4-2 system then we wouldnt be far off imo

I dont think that there are many Gooners out there who disagree with the suggestion that a better tactical formation/plan allied with proper coaching would make this team a lot better than it is now - that for me suggests that CIC isnt the whole problem but certainly the biggest part of it


But if you add these players to spuds and chavs they too could win it.
I think mancini with his squad has been the biggest managerial failure this season by a long shot.
