Quash the bogey team myth


So we face our so called arch nemesis Swansea in the league today.. A win will quickly vanish the debacle of Tuesday in a heartbeat.. Anything other than that? well the media will dust their "Arsenal in crisis" drafts and resume Thier annual boffunnery.. CHELSEA are already having their justifiable share of that media heat & I'll like to keep it that way..

Losing Walcott& the Ox on Tuesday was a blow to us.. RAMSEY is one of our hardest working players in the squad & losing him to injury was a big enuff setback as it is. Wenger has to come up with a formula that won't be stifling to our regular attacking flow. Campbell looks set to be given the nod to start.... But his performance has been to be honest underwhelming in an arsenal shirt.. A few of us who believe In this guy are up in arms as to why his little cameos have been  quite no no.. He scores for his country regularly and shows his quality but you get the feeling that in our colours he looks lost.. Well he has that chance today to stake a claim on this arsenal side.. And  I hope he does.. All other regulars will be back save theo & OX..

What we need to do on a tactical front is to play a tight counter attacking game plan.. Cos the home team will come at us..Last season the lack of proper central defensive understanding between Per mertasaker &Monreal led to mistakes that were punished but with Koscielny & Gabriel.. They will be in for a tough time..

Danger men for swansea:Dede Ayew,  Bafetimbi Gomis & Siggurdsson will need to be watched by our defence.. Siggurdsson must not be given the joy of replicating last seasons numbing late free kick heroics.. His set-peice ability is not in question as he proved against Aston villa.. They have been on an indifferent form of late and I think if we haven't allowed the Capital one ouster infect us.. We should ensure the continuation of Thier poor form..
