Arsenal FC – Can’t Win With Olivier Giroud
If anyone needed convincing, a Saturday at Old Trafford was more proof of how Arsene Wenger made a huge mistake by putting the hopes and dreams of Arsenal in the legs of Olivier Giroud; not the only problem the team has, but certainly not a striker of the adequate level for a team that talks about winning the Premier League and bigger titles.

Transfer Rumors 2012 – Liverpool Still Chasing Theo Walcott
Simple math. Liverpool have just one healthy striker in their squad at the moment, Luis Suarez. Arsenal have Theo Walcott, who isn’t too keen on signing a new deal with the team, while his current contract expires in seven months. Once the January transfer window arrives, this transfer looks more and more plausible.

Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere and a Successful Comeback
Yes, it was Mikel Arteta who scored the goal for a struggling and lacking of confidence Arsenal team, but the man who made this win matter more than it should was Jack Wilshere, returning to the game of football after over a year of rehabbing and waiting. While it might be some sort of boost to a sluggish side, it’s definitely not the answer to all the problems.

Arsenal FC – Can’t Win With Gervinho as a Striker
While it might be easier to blame the defense for falling apart near the end, the bigger problem for Arsenal in their Champions League loss was the lack of a natural and capable player to finish the nice work done by the midfield, as Gervinho proved once again he isn’t the player to put their trust in.

Arsenal FC – Arsene Wenger With the Same Old Problems
After thinking he sorted out his goalkeeper problem, Arsene Wenger saw Vito Mannone with a terrible save, allowing Grant Holt the chance to get Norwich their first win of the season. On a day in which Santi Cazorla was a fade of his early season self, there was no real hope for Arsenal to come back from an early deficit.

Cesc Fabregas – Barcelona, Arsenal and Nobody Else
Maybe there was somewhat of karma involved as Cesc Fabregas missed his penalty kick against France, denying Spain a second goal and part of the reason they didn’t win the match. Earlier, he spoke about the whole Arsenal-to-Barcelona saga, saying some rather unsatisfying things, especially if you’re an Arsenal fan.

Arsenal FC – Arsene Wenger Keeps Getting Back Injured Players
While Theo Walcott will not play for England against Poland in the midweek World Cup qualifying match, the man who should be really fuming about his injury is Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, getting another injured player after the international case.

Arsenal FC – The Santi Cazorla Team
Beyond the fact that Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud scored in this match, this was a perfect rebound for Arsenal and more than that, further proof of just how in control Santi Cazorla is, and just how important he is to the Gunners, proving it once again in the 3-1 win over West Ham.

Arsenal FC – Gervinho and Lukas Podolski Keep Scoring
Somehow, Arsenal are making up for the departure of their best player and scorer. Gervinho, of all people, is leading the gunners with 5 goals this season, although some of them, like his fluke striker against Olympiakos, haven’t been top class. Lukas Podolski is right behind him, making sure people don’t forget this team does have scoring option without actually playing a productive striker.

Arsenal FC – Blaming it all on Laurent Koscielny
Instead of trying to find positives from their game (not much), Arsene Wenger stabbed the problem right at the heart. Soft, sub-par defending. He didn’t mention any names, but it was obvious who he was referring to – Laurent Koscielny.
