In fairness, Coquelin's played a couple of big games this season, including Spurs and United. He would have featured even more had he not been injured for most of the last two-three months.

Did he play in midfield against Spurs? And those games were before Christmas. You can't just throw a young player into midfield when we're desperate for a result and expect him to slot right in and do the business.

Theos on

Nela

Why was Benayoun barely played the first half of the season? Works hard, scores goals.

Captain

No point arguing about it, the squad is light and the options aren't there because of injury and form.

y va marquer

Walcott on already,replaces Rosicky. Good

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Theo on Rosicky off.

The thing is that we only have young players in the squad though (which goes back to your point about squad mismanagement). Coquelin hasn't worked out but at least it's where he should play and not at bloody right-back.

Yeah, he did. Song was suspended.

And he's only playing today because Ramsey's been shocking in the last month. Sad indictment of the squad but we have very little choice right now so it's an understandable gamble.

wow just seem a damning stat on Rosicky! tackles won, interceptions, passes, shots on goal etc all 0s he might as well have not been on the pitch

Really hope we get rid of him in the summer.

Let's see what we got.

As Lagos says, this is where Wenger earns his buck.

Robin needs a second forward to keep some defenders off his back. Hopefully theo will dismantle them a bit so that robin can do the rest

Fitness was the reason that was given at the time because of all his injury worries but he's been good for us.

Would have rather kept Benayoun.

Cissé scores against Man City. 1-1 in that game now. What a bunch of bottlers.

Jens

Cisse for QPR! Thats hilarious!

Shady

Twists and turns everywhere.

Me too. It's not too late to be fair. I think we've got the option to sign him permanently. Might happen if Rosicky goes. The last two months should have convinced Wenger that Benayoun is worth having around.

Coqs been worse today. And if he was better than Ramsey for the role why didn't he get it a few weeks ago when Arteta got hurt? Its poor management no matter how you spin it.
