Got 2 very hard games out the way. A point away to Stoke is always a good results. I'm still angry about the Liverpool game though as thats the game we could have.gotta a little cushion.

Stoke away is always tough

Problem is when are we actually going to get our players back.

Sanchez has been out for 9 weeks now. Still waiting on Rosicky to play, Ozil is injured now and still weeks/ months before Welbeck, Coq, Wilshere and Santi come back

what sort of cushion do we need? Been thinking that the only way City will go on a run is when Kompany is back. I personally think we need to open a 5 point gap before we face them. If ever we open that gap up it has to be in the next 2 months.

Concerning thing is that from our last 6 games we have picked up 6 points

When you come to the Ethad in May you'll be giving us the guard of honour

The best thing is that we didnt lose at Stoke despite bringing one of our most decimated teams in recent years.

with a better ref we might even have won. Nice sign of improvement though getting a point here. we would have easily lost this in past seasons

I sometimes wonder if you are sick in the ead Castor or you seriously view everything in life negatively.
Sanchez last played on the 29th of November 2015.

Today is the start of the 8th week since his injury. at least be factual whilst being negative then maybe we may take you seriously.

Another lie

we have taken 11 from our last 6 games idiot.

if you take into account the injuries then we have done average to ok. The southampton loss was diabolical stuff to be frank. unnecessary and careless and I also feel we could have been more street smart against westbrom and

liverpool*

4 points against a Stoke side that currently sits in 7th is decent. Especially when we had no Ozil and Alexis.

However, it'd have been better for us to have beaten Liverpool and lost to Stoke (or vice versa) because we'd have more points on the board! The late equaliser at Anfield cost us getting 4 points from 2 difficult away fixtures. We only have 2 points from 6. Our away form is slightly worrying. 6 points from the last 18 isn't good enough.

Have to beat Chelsea next week.

west Brom, Norwhich, villa, Saints, pool, Stoke.

Hasn't that been our last 6 fixtures

I make it 6 points

Yeah name any old fixutures.

Stoke Liverpool Newcastle Bornemouth S'oton Villa

11 points...

Away fixtures

Sorry I was meant to say our last 6 away fixtures

Well that away form has coincided with Coquelin's and Cazorla's injuries. Before that it was pretty good. Not keeping the ball is a big issue away from home.

Tbh if we win all our home games and draw all our away games we'd probably win the league. Maybe throw in 2 wins against Sunderland and Bournemouth. That would put us on 80 points I think.

Whilst a point at anfield and stoke seems a good result we are going to have to get some wins from these difficult away trips. We stoill have man u everton spurs city away if we lose or draw all of those games we simply wont win the title. Anfield was a golden opportunity to get a valuable 3 points which we chucked. Chelsea really is a must win and we are going to have to win a few of these tough away trips.

I know Wenger sometimes doesn't tell the truth when it comes to injuries but baring no injuries in training, I'm confident Sanchez and Ozil will be back next week. They were both pictured in full training pre Stoke match.

Even Rosicky back in training but will most likely play 45mins with the reserves on Friday and then maybe come off the bench vs Burnley in FA Cup

I'd be confident going to Everton and utd. More concerned with Chelsea as we still have this ridiculous problem beating them.

Ozil, Sanchez and elneny should give us an immediate lift. Looks like welbeck and Coq will play before long too.

Only disappointing thing about the last two fixtures for me were the substitutions at Liverpool. I feel these cost us 2 points.
