One thing I really cant understand,how can these boys keep performing with the same pace,smoothness & class match after match?,there must be smthing special going on in trainings in order to produce this kind of football.
Consistency is getting freeky with this Arsenal squad.

I really hope this continues coz I am enjoying watching every match for this amaizing Arsenal team,hoping that one day I'll see my team playing like this.

It is simply a delight to watch this kind of football.
And another thing that come to my mind , Wenger's incredible sense when to offload some player when you think that he is irreplaceable. He quickly fills that gap with other previously anonymous player in the football world.

And Cheslea will miss Drogba.now that a loss.The Africans Nations cup could end up shaping the title race in a substantial way.
And Essien, Mikel and Kalou.

Chelsea will spend in january so they have cover for the one month when key players are away.

on that i agree..Wenger must be the only coach in the world that can get his teams to play that kind of football consistently..Rijkaard needs stars to play good football..Le Boss makes stars thats the difference.;)
Even,when he has the best squad any coach in the world will ever dream off,they play one good match becoz of the likes of Messi,Henry & Iniesta & then turn the crap for 2 or 3 matches.
Rijkaars sucks.


I'd like to see us cope without Toure..if Gallas steps up..we'll do just fine..I dont think Eboues absence would affect us much..as he isnt first choice anyway..Togo didnt qualify so Ade is staying.
Trust me u will miss toure badly,he is the real leader on the pitch.
But on the other hand Chelsea will be the most affected by the Afrrican Cup(essien,drogba & Mikel)

:agree: The guy is simply a genious,look what he did with Adebayor,he transformed an average player with very limited skills to a great player who assist & scores nearly every match & look at his goals (it is like he took Kanu's skills & combined it with Henry's pace & accuracy).
Arsene KNOWS.

Alexander Hleb is the most skillful player in Europe after Messi and a prime Ronaldinho. Absolute genius this guy. If he had more confidence you would be talking Maradona level.

sorry, i still think adebayor is average at best, and hit a rich vein of form (don't mind the cliches), that has now run out.
I agree to some extent...but i think he's just turned from an average player to a decent one.

I dont like these knee jerk reactions people are getting..a lot are now saying that Adebayor is a top striker..when IMO if he went to any other big team he wouldnt start..Would he start for Real?would he start for Man Utd or Chelsea,Inter or even Juve??the answer is a big no...he's getting a lot of service from a very creative midfield..and he's still missing sitters that a top striker wouldnt miss..he'd go a whole month without scoring...his finishing is still not good enough..and his movement can be erratic at times.

and then you get statements like Hleb is the most talented player in the world after messi..which is taking it way too far..the guy is very talented..one of the most talented players in the EPL..but to say he's on the level of Maradona??even on the level of Kaka??Messi?? come on..i love Hleb and he is now one of my favourite 3 players..but no way can i agree with statements like that.

Trust me u will miss toure badly,he is the real leader on the pitch.
But on the other hand Chelsea will be the most affected by the Afrrican Cup(essien,drogba & Mikel)


He's the true leader in our team..and to think Senderos would play for a whole month:scared: i'd rather have Lehmann play as a defender.

I heard that Lehmann is on the verge of an Arsenal exit.He wont say no to an offer from the German 2nd division even.
Hw wont accept a 2nd division team..but yes he is surely leaving in january..because supposedly Wenger is humiliating him

I think u r kinda underrating the guy.
Of course he is not one of the best strikers in the world but he could be.
I agree on the part that he wouldnt be a starter in Barca,Madrid,ManUtd or even Juve but that the brilliance of Arsene,look what he did with Henry,he was a bench warmer at Juve & in 2 years with Arsenal,he became the best striker in the world.
Adebayor is improving everyday,he is doing stuff that he never used to do.
Arsene is getting the best out of him & his skills is improving & he is not only scoring but helping his teammates with great movements & assists.
He is still young & have a lot of time to improve but I am feelin a great player in the making.

everybody(me included) was going on about how this team is too inexperienced and how they werent good enough,and how the spuds will overtake them(me not included) and that Arsene is stubborn for not buying any "big name" player in the summer..but he definitely proved the famous saying.
Not me.

One thing I really cant understand,how can these boys keep performing with the same pace,smoothness & class match after match?,there must be smthing special going on in trainings in order to produce this kind of football.

We have short, sharp training sessions and every single one is designed to be 'fun'. Perhaps (and especially with a young team) that produces a better response.

Personally, I believe there is more to come from this team; they aren't quite at their top level. In terms of performance we saw better ones last year but something went a bit funny with our finishing. I thought we would win the league last year, but my guess was too early and it seems that we have learned some lessons from the experience. Still a long way to go though but think VanPersie returning after the internationals will be a big boost leading into what looks to be a difficult christmas schedule.

Hleb is a fantastic footballer and I have been praising the guy since he joined although if you frequently speak to many arsenal fans you will find that I am in the minority here.

Adebayor has improved this season in may ways. The biggest plus is that he is more consistant in the technical side of the game; passing, ball control, heading etc. He should be looking to score every other game in my opinion because he does the difficult part so easily.
