if he can have a Wilshere-esque season, then he's exactly what we need and there's no reason to buy a DM like I wanted...and I'm sure quite a few others wanted as well.
He's a still too raw IMO and with the ACN this winter we need cover when Song is gone. Don't know if he's the answer yet.
Dan Roebuck just said "and a mistake from Squillacci is what set up their goal". Great, just what we want to hear. but have to say I wrote Squillacci off awhile ago.
OK, so apparently a big difference in the 2 halves. Is it our defensive change at HT that made the difference, or Boca's attacking change? I'm only listening to audio from time to time so I have no idea. But I've heard Squillacci's & Djourou's names mentioned in not so flattering terms. And NYRB looking good right now!
feels familiar, but Squillacci hopefully doesnt see much of the pitch this season. I expect Djourou to be better than he has been today, but our defense must be better before the league begins. Last year we were undone like this, lets not have it happen again.
Yup... Djourou/Squillaci is a disster. I don't rate Djourou at all. I really hope we dont see him much this year.
what i don't get is, wenger is supposedly giving bartley a look this preseason to decide his future . . . why wasn't he in the game?!?
