Arsenal Looking Good

As a neutral looking in I find it surprising that any Arsenal fan should be questioning the competence of any other club's manager.

Despite the new signings I really fail to see how Arsenal can be seen as title contenders; goalkeeper is inconsistent, centrebacks are slow and they still lack a holding midfielder.

Seven points short last year and that is a fair amount to have to make up.

I agree - Sanchez is a quality player but who drops to the bench for him ? Ozil ? Carzorla , etc it's another attacker when they lack people in the defensive areas

They being sorted , watch this space
 
Keep an eye out for the new Arsenal Puma kit advert, filmed with Ian Poulter and Freddie LLungberg at The Centurion last month.
Freddie was there with his new wife (Spurs fan!!) and they were still on their honeymoon... :eek:

I know it can be tough with all those words and things but need to read posts before commenting on them I didn't once question his competence just point out that he doesn't seem to be as confident

Question of interpretation.

The conversation that you and your fellow Arsenal supporters were, at that time, having on an open forum thread about Arsenal did seem to be focussing rather on the ability of the manager of another club and his ongoing ability. In the case of Mourinho confidence is, after all, a big part of it.

However, at the end of the day I couldn't really give a t**s as the Premier League perfectly summarises all of what is wrong with football in England.
 
I do believe Arsenal are still a few good players short, and lack depth and so like Liverpool may find it hard to compete on all fronts. However it's rare for Arsenal to be so vocal about their intentions so I think that must mean they have irons in fires. I think if they can get a reliable keeper, a speedy powerful centre back and one or two midfielders to give bite and hold the ball then they could be a force to be reckoned with and able to withstand a windy night in Stoke. Same with Liverpool although for me it's about where the goals come from post Suarez and then about the back four. Mind you as a Fulham fan, I can only look on enviously at the PL shenanigans

Koscielny, slow? Yeah, you know your stuff all right.

Vermaelen is no slouch either.

Well he was slow enough in the League Cup Final in 2011.

I am glad that an expert like yourself appears to acknowledge Mertesacker's lack of mobility.
