Coquelin is good, very good and I have been a fan for many years now since watching him play for the youth team.

That said, saying we don't need a DM because of Coquelin is the reason why we are always fighting for 4th position year in year out. He's only played a quarter of a season. Let's give him time to learn. ManCity had Yaya, still they brought in Fernadinho and as if that wasn't enough, last season they brought in Fernando.
I am sure AW recognises this and he will bring in a DM during the summer transfer window. Arteta and Flamini are already showing signs of old age.
Many don't know that Coquelin was named amongst the flops of the season i Germany last year (although I can excuse him for that but still shows he is in a developmental stage and not yet ready to be that player who will carry Arsenal over a whole season. See Wilshere, Denilson).

Coquelin in my opinion still needs to fight for that position with an equally good if not better DM.

You show good reasoning and I appreciate it. Though when I said Arsene doesn't need to buy, does not mean he won't or shouldn't. In fact to get the best out of Coq there must be good, very good competition.

Now lets turn to Olivier, he is an awful but he does pop like pop corn doesn't he?

Exactly. Lack of depth has been one of the issues we've had. Bringing in someone like schnederlin or kondogbia would be a good idea as both can also play alongside Coq.
Regarding Coq loan stint at feiburg last season, he was played as a winger; so its understand able.

Coquelin has been playing very well for a while now and I think That's good for the team. In as much as he's had a good run of games, I still think we should allow him play a full season before we start the usual hyping.
As regards today's game I think koscienly won it for us. He was really terrific at the center back. When not scoring own goals koscienly has shown he is fast, focused and reliable defender. As for chambers I think he needs to work more on his defensive game because to me it seems he is yet to believe his luck to be playing at a big club like Arsenal. So at times he looks carried away on the pitch.
On the overall today's match was great and the boys put up a great show. I hope they produce something more magical on Tuesday night

Arsenal fans be like Hype Williams


Le Coq
Abou Riski
Walcott

Una like to dey hype

Abeg my people is abou diaby still a registered Arsenal player or he is now a steward at the club?
If he is still at Arsenal then I think it's about time I make known my theory about him. Here is my theory:
I think abou diaby's parents were working for Arsene wenger's elder brother who trained him. I believe arsene's brother really enjoyed their services and when Arsene was of age and was making things happen for himself, His brother entrusted him the son of the Diaby's for him to take care as a way of repaying the years of quality services his parents have rendered to the wenger household. Arsene being a man who keeps his words has since made sure abou earns a decent living as a footballer even when he doesn't kick a ball for a whole year.
Na joke o. .;.:

Forget diaby is a good player....injuries have messed him up.
I heard he's not been collecting wages while injured. Shame really.

A player who has a contract still will not collect wages? I don't believe that line bro. But wait a minute, how many year contract did that guy sign with Arsenal sef, Shey Na lifetime Because it seems his contract no dey gree finish o

The table is taking shape indeed. Up next, Chelsea and Man Utd losses.

He rejected his wages. His contract expires this summer.

Abou's contract will not be renewed from what I hear. Who knows, he may just go somewhere else and play a few years with no serious injury. If that happens though, we will need to query our entire medical team and training methods.

Yes he does but we need someone who does it on a regular basis. Who knows how many 0 or 1 pt would have been 3 points for us if only we had an in form 'Thierry Henry'?

That has been the bane of Coquelin's football career before now. He has played at RB, AM RM. Yet his best role has always been at DM. When he played that DM role for 4 or 5 games at Charlton, he showed the same form of the Coquelin I used to know at youth level and that's why I'm not surprised at his current form. Even Charlton fans confessed he was above Championship level.
He will definitely improve but I think we need to be careful with him and not put too much pressure on him. Jack IMO is suffering from that at the moment. Same with Wojciech Szczesny. Coquelin is just 23. Competition will help improve his game

Look at Hector. Very good RB but he still has Debuchy to learn from.

Oga AW promised to give him a fresh contract. AW believes in everyone even you!

IF(and a big if) he can prove his fitness. he's not even training at the moment.

Exactly. But according to wenger "if you're good enough, you're old enough". I suppose Arteta is the one Coq's meant to learn from, but he's lost his legs and wants a 2 year contract.

After being in an out of form so some time, Ramsey for me has to be the player that really turned it up today. Shame we are at the end of it but hopefully if he can stay fit and consistent along with the other performers like santi, coq, kos. then its a real chance we have to end the season on a high.

Consistency is key and that's what the lads are churning up with each performance. Hope they keep it up

When will this circus stop
Every year Na a the same thing...suffering and smiling at the Emirates

Please who has that arsenal chart

Arsenal don't want to rest ever since beating Man Utd @ Old Trafford...


But my humble advice, no league till Wenger retires or resigns...

Coded01 you better leave this useless team wey wan be like barca but no fit win trophies like barca .. awon Oniyeye

Only one point away from city....wow

Heathen:
Only one point away from city....wow

Just as Man U are just a point away from us. It's very tight up there.

What i learnt from this week EPL.

1. Man city title challenge is over. They are out of steam.

2. Totenham are out of the top 4 royal rumble, Southampton still have life in them.

3. Man city champions league slot is no longer guaranteed, they have been sucked into the top 4 rat race with Arsenal and Man u breathing down their neck.

4. Chelsea is out of form,but would still win the league, thanks to the points they accumulated during the early stages of the season.

Note to Arsenal: To win the league,you need a good start,and then grit to consolidate on your good start,until the crown is yours.

Pls which kind training or fitness kits we get for AFC .....one player come out nd another replace him...ways going on
