I'm with Phelan on this one.

Two of our left backs, the #1 and #2 choices respectively, are out injured and have been replaced by two natural CB's in Vermaelen and Miquel (who never played much first team football until this season). Verms is a stellar defender... at center back, he's been off and on at left back, and quite honestly, i'm not sure why Koscielny isnt in that spot with Verms in the middle, Kos is significantly faster and can keep up with the wing players.

Jack Wilshere, our lynchpin last season, will likely miss the rest of the year with baby foot syndrome. Aaron Ramseys form is all over the place, seems to have an oustanding match, then 2 or 3 really bad ones. Gervinho is away at the ACN (in a way i'm glad, AOC has been a revelation), so to be completely honest, we'll be lucky to salvage a draw at home.

And also agreed with Phe, RvP goes out injured, we'll be lucky to stay in the top half of the table. I for one, think that Arsene will be canned if we finish in the current state.

Anybody else sick and fuckin tired of hearing that fucktard Gazidis brag about our "War Chest", only to see us buy some kid/kids that have never seen first team football? No one is going to want to play for a team that doesnt compete for trophies or qualify for the Champs League, this ship is sinking faster than the Titanic.
