I'm not worried about 4th spot or winning a trophy. I'm worried that we have a back 4 that cost 100mil and defend like a team in the bottom 3.

Not only is this kind of performance against Chelsea expected, and I do fancy your chances to go on an end of the season Arsenal-esque run like always, isn't January historically also always a bad month for Arsenal? iirc in your better seasons where you've looked challengers, you guys are top or right around top at about Christmas, fall off the wagon from January till mid-Feb, and then go on an Arsenal-esque end of the season run to make sure that you lock up top 4 with games to spare, though never really challenging for the title.

Of course, the difference here is that there is no clear team who's currently looking like a title winner--so this season I expect the difference to be that Arsenal go on a run and challenge for the title.

But we'll see, I guess. This, to me, looks like very much an Arsenal season cut and paste, so I expect it to continue that way.

Google the Arsenal season rollercoaster and it's depressingly accurate. Before we would start strong, look good through winter but collapse in March onwards, but recently it's been start slow then recover late. It coincides with the timing of our annual injury crisis.

Since Coquelin, Cazorla, Wilshere and Welbeck should come back by the run-in we'll have a good squad to put a run together. So long as we pick up no new long-term injuries, of course.

but there are also games where we defended really well and managed to get 1-0 wins in close games.

Actually as McAgger said, the defense is not going to be fixed anytime soon Laughing

so stop making a fuss about it.

Ok this BS talk of Arsenal having this cut and paste season is getting on my nerves.

Let's take this to the betting thread, Arsenal will finish at least in top 2 :coffee:

Welcome to present day to you too, if that happens nowadays both will qualify for the CL.

Leicester's next 3 matches: Liverpool, Manchester City & Arsenal. Can't see this 3 point gap at the top remaining. If they do manage to win all of these then they deserve the title.

They might win against us but I am sure they wont win against Arsenal or ManCity at their home. They might go to win the title but it is too much that will defeat all three of them.
One win and two draws is just enough to be in top 2 at the end of these three fixtures, imo.

Martinez needs to get sacked. Laughing

On the same wavelength as Rodgers, he's arguably even worse than Moyes ffs. rofl

by Curtinho Mon Jan 25, 2016 1:19 am

Top 4 will be:

1. City
2. Tottenham
3. Arsenal
4. Liverpool

Take it to the bank.

by Red Alert Mon Jan 25, 2016 1:21 am

Liverpool will be lucky to finish 5th. Laughing

Spurs will finish top 4, with Arsenal, City and Leicester rounding the top 4.

Leicester to hopefully win the league.

by Kick Mon Jan 25, 2016 1:27 am

Leicester will get top 4.

There is 15 games to go, if they haven't dropped out of the top 3 in the next 5 games, they won't.
