Definitely agree with that. We were a different side once Diaby and Nasri came on.
Wilshere, Merida and Silvestre were liabilities out there and had to be carried by their team mates. Song was great again.

Missed the game but nontheless a great result, particularly to come back from 1-0 down at half time. If that was a premier League match its the type of game that you'd say wins you the league- a character building win.
but FFS, why do we have to be drawn against another premier league side away thus presenting us another tricky calender in the next round?

Almost spewed up when I saw him captaining a team that included Vermaelen, Sagna and Eduardo. WTF?

Silvestre is a joke..
Add Song to that list.

I heard that could be the last game for Merida in an Arsenal shirt - stalling his new contract talks, word is he wants to go back to Spain.
Last venture for Wilshere in an Arsenal shirt too, though only for this campaign, a certainty to be loaned out before the end of January now.

Shame I still think Merida, is a good player but to be honest he has no chance of holdong down a spot in our midfield. Cesc,Song,Nasri,Denilson,Diaby,Theo,Ramsey and Rosicky are all ahead of him.
Merida was never going to make it.
The problem for players like him is that they don't really have a position. He's too weak and small to play in the middle, too slow and direct to play out wide.

A position in an English league.
No doubt he'll head back to the continent and be a reasonable player in Italy/Spain where the tempo is much slower.

Even Carragher is more creative than Kuyt.

Does he have the work ethic though? Because that's one thing I'll never fault Kuyt on.
Rosicky has signed a new contract. Cesc has had a setback and will be out for a further week. Bendtner and Clichy return to training this week.
We are running out of players and with Song gone we look fairly weak in the middle. We are very lucky Diaby and Ramsey are in great form.

So you're hoping that Song's team (I think Cameroon) get knocked out at the earliest stage of the competition then?

who cares if you run 15km a match if you aren't doing anything (scores a lot against us lol).
Yes TIG I hope cameroon don't make it past the group stage, won't happen though. Hopefully a ghana/Ivory cost final

Who cares if you're decently creative, but don't run out a game, don't track back, and don't burst forward all the time?

Good to have Rosicky and Vela available on the bench should we need a spark.
Pretty excited to see Ramsey again. Looks more man than boy lately.

What would everyone think of us signing Carlton Cole?
Personally I think it would be a good signing, he wouldn't have to play every game and he would be good to have up front against teams with strong defences. Also he could play in the Champs League.
The only downside is that he will be injured for the next week or two (which isn't too bad).

I wouldn't mind Carlton Cole for a 6 month loan tbh.
Would rather look at someone like D.Bent though.
Even Carew for 6 months would be handy

Bent just moved to Sunderland, so i highly doubt that would happen.
O'Neill wouldn't sell a great player to another Champions League place contender.
