    @ianlatham quite agree. is just unusual for me to take a less proArsenal view than the neutrals on tv so was curious what others thought

    @BriggySmalls no quite.

Bring in Bendtner and Diaby or Ramsey for Sunday and we have variation

A FEW thoughts:

Hull’s performance last night…
Was the kind of performance I thought northern sides reserved only for us. Credit to Phil Brown (who I warmed slightly towards when he admitted their penalty at the Emirates was a joke) for putting out a side who gave everything and were outstanding for 90 minutes.

It was hard not to contrast their running with the lack of it we saw at times on Sunday.

The statistics certainly show we’ve been wretched against the top two this season…

But Arsene and the team do deserve some credit for their record against “the rest”. Based solely on games against “the rest”, we would be level on points with Chelsea but with a game in hand and two points ahead of United.

At least we’re not sitting here bemoaning all the points we’ve dropped to the dross.

Before Chelsea drew with Hull I’d have taken a draw on Sunday…
It’s certainly true eight points would have been a lot to make up. But look at the remaining fixtures and you see that while we have Man City and Spurs to come after the Liverpool game, they will still have to go to Old Trafford, Anfield and White Hart Lane and entertain City and Villa. We need to be in touch, not on top.

As for Sunday…

I think the team should really pick itself. Diaby or if not Ramsey in for Denilson (who I really hope was watching Stephen Hunt of Hull last night) and Bendtner in for Nasri with Arshavin dropping back. Suddenly, from being a team that is one paced and very samey in some areas, we would have height up front, players who contrast rather than replicate each other on the wings and if not power in midfield (Diaby), then at least energy (Ramsey).

With Theo on the bench we’d have pace to call on too. Another realistic option is to bring Comrade Eboue in for Nasri to make us a little tighter.

And finally…
Transfers. I don’t really talk about them much on here but I will say that we couldn’t find another goalkeeper somewhere in the world to come in for the rest of the season, is a big disappointment. I’d also hoped that somewhere there would be a striker who could have a Kanu/Adebayoresque late season impact. Sometimes I wonder if Arsene is a little too much of a perfectionist when it comes to transfers. Maybe the Harry Redknapp way is worth a try, if only occasionally.
