So all the dust has settled and all the anger and frustration (from most of us anyway) has abated a bit, it’s time to have a good look at the team that will swim or sink us this season.

It is not a very dynamic team but if injuries are very minimal we might do something this season. We will need Rosicky to come back by October and stay fit all season (yeah I know), we will also need Van Persie to stay fit all season as well (yeah I know), we will need Eduardo to come back by December and be firing fully by April!

Plus, we will need Walcott to step up big, big, big time and hope Nasri, Adebayor, Fabregas have phenomenal seasons.

Our only chance of winning the league (lol) is for all these factors to go our way! So it’s safe to say that it’s unlikely for us to win the league this year. But there is no reason we can not go all out for the league cup and the Champions League. No reason whatsoever.

The current squad as it stands contains 30 players, and I will assume their positions below.

——————-Ade————–RvP———————–
—————–(Bendtner)——-(Vela)———————-
—————–(Eduardo)——-(Walcott)——————–

Nasri————-Fabregas———-Song—————Walcott
(Wilshere)——-(Denilson)——-(Diaby)————(Rosicky)
(Merida)———(Ramsey)———(Randall)———(Bischoff)

Clichy————-Gallas————Toure————–Sagna
(Silvestre)——–(Silvestre)——(Djorou)———–(Eboue)
(Gibbs)———–(G. Hoyte)——–(Song)———(Landsbury)

—————————Almunia—————————
————————–(Fabianski)————————
—————————(Mannone)————————-

It looks like a deep squad, but the depth is mostly illusionary and weak, especially with Denilson as a starter.

What I will never understand is why Wenger let go of Traore, Senderos and Hoyte and brought in ONLY an injured Silvestre. Especially when Eboue will have to do most of his work in midfield. What it means is that we can’t even REST our defense.

There is so much mixing and matching, its incredible.

Oh well, we must lie on our made bed and hope for the best!
