    It would help if Foster and Flemming put their heads on the line and attack the ball in the 6yd box, instead of ball watching.

    Another player we miss is O'Shea who would have weighed in with 5 or 6 goals by now. Esteve and CJ are fantastic CHs but offer little on set piece play in the opposition box. Esteve is 6'4" and this is a part of his game he needs to improve in, to play at the very top

    To score more goals we need to move the ball faster and commit more players forward, but not at the expense of conceding at the other end

    13 without defeat. Best defence in the history of English football after games played and 3pts of the top

    Parker is doing a phenomenal job after what was thrown his way last August, so why change things?

    We offer no threat whatsoever from set pieces and that is plain bonkers.

    I cannot recall the last time we scored from a corner.

    I think Arsenal have scored around 20 already this season from corners and that's in the EPL!

    Possibly O'Shea in the first game of the season at Luton, but I could be wrong.
