Been thinking that myself. Though would they take him back again?

Does the fact that RVP has made such a significant difference to where the title is ending up give him an edge over the other two? He's the only major change to either of the Manchester clubs from last season and it has had a massive impact.

It's a strange game, had either side even got a shot in before the goal? Giroud had one blocked by Vertonghen but I think that was it. Both defences basically just declared their penalty box off limits.
I thought Arsenal would find a way through first because they're so much better at passing but they only have Walcott running in behind, whereas Spurs have both Bale and Lennon. Podolski surely should have started.

Spurs play Liverpool (a), Swansea (a), Everton (h), Chelsea (a), City (h) in next seven.Sandro out for the season already and maybe no Dembele too..
They could still Spurs this.
Wenger really is tactically naive sometimes. Give your defence some extra protection. Holding a high line without pressing the ball and with slow defenders, against 2 of the quickest wingers in the league who like to come in was never gonna work.

Podolski not starting was a bad move. All in all an even game between two reasonably well matched sides, split only by two horrible goals. Further evidence that Arsenal just don't concede good goals, just make horrible errors repeatedly.
That said, their defensive line was all over the place today, was caught in a zigzag shape several times.

I thought Arsenal pressed quite well. You can't expect them to have pressure on the ball 100% of the time but as you said yourself at the time, they'd controlled the ball for most of the time before Spurs scored, and a lot of that was down to good pressing.
And you can't track runs when the team has a clear plan to play the runners offside. I think Wenger just has to cop this one. I can't really defend completely failing to adjust to a threat as obvious as Bale+Lennon running in behind. You compare it to United's tactics at WHL and it just looks hopelessly naive.

Was a promising youngster until the leg break and never really looked the part since. Hasn't improved and is now at an age where he should be taking control of midfield but doesn't. Transfer to Cardiff when they come up?
