So we beat Everton. Even with a team depleted with injuries from the famous international week that everyone loves... not.
But it was a shaky win, and its got me thinking, where in the team to we pin-point the blame. By that I mean, which part of the team is the least stable, and how can we improve it? Our Center Midfield pairing isnt that great, but with Ramsey and Wilshere coming through, Denilson starting to shine were fine for the moment and Nasri and Walcott are on fire on the wings, so we don't need work there. The obvious answer then is defence, it's just not working and we need to improve fast. But, on the other hand, who can we sign that would improve the defence? Are signings the option required. Obviously, some of the blame must go to Wenger for the dodgy team selections (Song at right back????) but the point is, if the current defensive pairing isn't working, don't you change it? Looking individually at each defender in our team, they all are great, Gallas, Silvestre, Toure, Djourou are all good CB's, and Clichy/Sagna are arguably the best RB/LB's in the Prem at the moment. So why isn't it clicking? I don't have the ideal answer, but the one I do have could work, but it isn't a good one.
Rotation of the back pairing.
Look, I hate to say it, but its looking like our only option at this point in time. Ok, we are winning most of the games, but we need the solidness at the back to consolidate our confidence in going forward. So, my suggestion is this - we give each pairing two games each, one home and away. We know how the Toure/Gallas one is, so that leaves us 2 games Gallas/Silvestre, 2 games Gallas/Djourou, 2 games Silvestre/Djourou, Silvestre/Toure, Toure/Djourou. 10 games in total. While I know that rotation is destabling to a team, it may be the only option we have at the moment, without splashing the cash, which I believe is unnessesary after looking at each of the plaers individually. And look, if one of those is extremely succesful, then stick with it, and we can be more confident going forward, meaning more goals, leading to wins. Right?
Is the "Experiment" worth the risk trying?
Whats your Opinion?

Hello,
I have just found your excellent website
http://oneteammanyoppinions.blogspot.com and am emailing to enquire about the
possibility of writing for your site. I have a huge passion for
football and enjoy writing about the game and would relish the
opportunity to write for your website.
I had thought about starting up my own site, but feel that if I were
to get the opportunity to write for your site, it would be much more
exciting.
I am happy to write completely free of charge and can contribute
regular, topical articles which will be written exclusively for your
website.
I would be grateful if you could let me know if this would be
something of interest for you.
Regards,
Sandy
Hey Sandy!
Thanks so much for your offer but,
I.. uh... actually don't really work on here anymore hey, my school work got to me and I had to sort of 'close' this down. I'd kept it open hoping that my workload would die down but it like everything its just got harder.
Thankyou so much for your message, and trust me if I was working regularly on here then I deinitely would have taken your offer. Let me encourage you to start your own blog/site, and should you do so then put the post the link here. Me and my mates have started our own non-footbal related site (spreading the workoad around) and although we are small we would be happy to do a link swap to help boost traffic for both of us.
Thankyou again for your offer, and I look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully checking out a new website!
