Cologne (FC Koln) .

Played 3, lost 3, scored 1, conceded 7.

There for the taking?

They are but equally they will look at our start and think mmm not impossible by any means, plus if Bayern can win 10 2 against then we must have a chance.
I'm sure our reputation in Germany isn't too scary.

That is some kind of negative thinking there G - it's going to be a long season for you. Happy with the performance today, liked that we didn't concede.

Not really Red mate we are more than 10% of the way through it already, it's flying by :-)
Will the team turn up mentally on Thursday? It's anyone's guess.
I have no real confidence in or expectations of in the current Arsenal set up that's all mate.
Will Chelsea rip us apart next Sunday? Probably.
Why do I and all the pundits and most other football fans all over the country doubt the Arsenal team so much?
Because it's what Arsenal crumble and give up each and every season, the only way for the players to make people view them differently is to show a different attitude and mentality.
4 games in and all looks very usual to me Rooster mate.

I can get pretty frustrated too my friend, but if we have a solid outing, I am still going to stop and give the lads their due. Let's hope they get on a roll, Chelsea looks flawed to me as well.

Rooster mate the last time i was genuinely excited by an Arsenal season was 2013/ 14 season, j really thought we were going to go the distance that season and fight all the way into May for the title.
The humiliation at Liverpool shocked me but didn't dampen my enthusiasm the complete surrender to Chelsea in the 7 0 defeat hurt me to watch as a fan but also it hurt and mystified me how the team could give so little in Arsene's 1000th game against his arch rival Mourinho.
I had very serious doubts but still backed them 100%, then on the following Tuesday when they simply caved in against Swansea at home with so much to prove and the title still there to be battled for? That was the beginning of the end for me with the current Arsenal set up.
I have tried to let my self get excited and let myself get carried away by the team the manager the club again but each and every time I think maybe just maybe? They remind of just how unorganized dispassionate and non committed they are capable of being.
So for me personally it will take a lot more than the very usual defeats at Liverpool and Stoke and home wins against Leicester and Bournemouth to get me excited by this current squad and manager again.

The most important thing is how the team is set out and that players are played in their strongest position. Although yesterday's opponents were weak, we were set out well and in general players played in their strongest positions. Against Chelsea I would like to see Mertesacker in the middle of the back three, with Mustafi and Koscielny either side. I would continue with Kolasinac at LWB and I wouldn't play Montreal. Ideally we need to sit deep and if he had been fit, I would have brought Coquelin in for Ramsey for his defensive qualities. As he is injured perhaps Ramsey over Elneny, although he needs to sit deep and protect the back three, which concerns me. The only other quandary is whether to recall Sanchez for Welbeck? Against Cologne my instinct is to play squad players in order to put out a really fresh team against Chelsea, but a win against Cologne would increase confidence, so a mixture of the team that played yesterday awith the likes of Walcott, Giroud, Sanchez, Mertesacker, Iwobi brought in.

By far the most important thing is the team shows some commitment and passion for 90 minutes in every single match between now and May regardless of formation team selection.
Now that would be a very encouraging to see.
John Terry or Per Mertesacker who was and still is the better player?
One club has moved on from thier all conquering Captain (the player not the man) the other club still continues to involve a player that has always had serious question marks over him.
One of these clubs will compete for the title the other won't
Spot the difference?
