You saw yesterday, how the young and inexperienced midfield duo of Alli and Dier ripped Coq and Carzola to shreds last night. So imagine playing against dangerous number 10's like James Rodriguez or dangerous midfielders like Pogba will be like. Arsene Wenger as stubborn as he is, still hasn't sorted out his problem since he sold Alex Song to Barca nearly 3 years ago. Another case of Ignorance from the French manager who took 11 years to sort out the goal keeping crisis when he brought Cech in the summer.
To win the league you need a strong spine, especially a midfield pairing who will take the game by the scruff of the neck and dominate. Like I said, Gary Neville has said the partnership of Coqulein and Carzola will not win us league, Carzola is an attacking player, even though he has the vision to be a deep lying midfielder, he doesn't posses commitment or discipline and stop attacks. Coquelin may have had a great second half the season last season and cemented his place in midfield, lacks discipline and still needs to develop. Arsenal need someone who is experienced, knows how to dominate midfield and snuff out attacks from the opposition. This is why Bayern battered the Gunners last Tuesday, that's why we was dominated like school boys yesterday.This is an issue Wenger has failed to sort out since he sold Flamini (When he was a formidable force in 2008.) And sold Viera in 2005. If we as Arsenal football club want to move forward we need a quality centre mid who knows what he is doing. But will Wenger step up and pay the big bucks? No!
Okay against the small team Coq and Carzola look like the dream team pairing, but against better opposition and quality attacking number 10's, they'll look like Sunday League rejects, you already saw that Wenger had to take off Carzola yesterday, meaning the Spaniard is feeling the strain of playing in that position. I like Coquelin he's really matured and developed but tackling and discipline is poor which always get's him in the refs notebooks, I've always said he's great cover but will he work on his tackling? I don't know. If Wenger doesn't address situation we will always be doomed.
