My Vision

Jack Wilshere has been in a few fantastic positions this season jinking his way through defence's only to be up against his enemy, his right foot and the trigger was not pulled, chances have disintegrated

In our side we have shared the goals around between many players and when we are on our game it makes us very difficult to stop. Think of the first half at Sunderland recently and the first half against West Ham. There is no obvious way to stop the team. That is all well and good when the team is purring but when things go wrong as was the case against Blackburn in the FA cup, we do not have a 

Manchester United have experienced defenders in their team, not only Rio Ferdinand but Patrice Evra and even people like Michael Carrick ahead of them. Their young players are now experienced players who have played many games, winning many trophies. Jonny Evans, Rafael etc may not be

Now on paper we could be forgiven for doing the butterfly dance in front of the mirror in hot pants but looking back through the window of time will quickly tell us to sit down and take a couple of Prozac to conquer our anxiety. We left those fixtures with only 1 point from those games.

Andre Santos like Andrey Arshavin didn't seem blessed with natural physique which could explain the need for a run of matches before his best was shown. Another issue Santos had was his partnership with the player ahead of him. Last season he had Gervinho who tended to stick wide and go past players on the outside, this allowed Santos to drift inside which he tended to enjoy doing. I jokingly called him the false 3 which now seems like a reasonable assessment, because Andre Santos is no traditional left back. This season

What is quite incredible about Jack Wilshere is his remarkable consistency for a player his age. Remember the post Carling Cup final team in 2010/2011, the team fell apart, we were poor after that and had some shocking performances. The one player who seemed to continue his form was Jack Wilshere. When we lost away to Stoke City during that run, Jack was the only player battling for the

Arsenal have signed a new left back which coincides with the news that Kieran Gibbs is facing 6 weeks out due to bruck up thigh syndrome or something. I will restrain from doing Nacho jokes, they have been done to death already and it is worse when you turn up late with a blog only to repeat them over again. Mr Monreal sounds a little like the Santi Cazorla of left backs, same club, in the Spanish squad but just beneath the first team and has all the qualities to combine Spanish flair and English grit. I haven't seen

Going back to Aaron Ramsey I am intriged to know how he gets on in his new role. He has now played offensive midfield, left attack, right attack and now defensive midfield. Will his time on the flanks help him cover for full backs out of position previously having to track wingers to protect either Kieran Gibbs or Bacary Sagna. When he goes forward, Abou Diaby should know when to sit in because
