    Aaron Ramsey is certainly underrated on boards

    Why is this been bought up?

    Did we loose yesterday because Ramsey was missing or give away silly goals on our right side?

    Yeah in the context that Campbell was poor and we missed Ramsey which is bs.

    The team were poor yesterday for large periods, santi Sanchez even ozil. People making out it was due to Ramsey missing.

    Ridiculous.

    Probably true, and I'm a big Rambo fan. Think he gets way too much stick for a guy playing out of position.

    But again, we could be guilty of reading too much into yesterday.

    Wenger said he gave the team time off from training during the week and it took them a while to get back up to speed - probably explains Sanchez's poor game too.

    At the least Campbell has shown us that he starts vrs Bayern and on the weekend too. A big positive.

    Let's just give him the starts and see what he can make of it.

    I don't really see how his performance can be viewed as anything but positive though. Ideas do moving Bellerin or Gibbs into midfield are definitely gone for now.

    At no point did I say he shouldnt start the next few games
    And I think he done a job yesterday and his workrate will come in handy during the week

    What i said was he needs to improve to stay in the team

    Who said the team were poor yesterday because Ramsey wasn't there?

    And also is saying Campbell will need to improve to stay in the team really critising him?

    Your posts are pretty ridiculous

    Sorry you said Santi and coq were poor yesterday because Ramsey wasn't there to help them.

    My point is the whole team were poor for large periods.

    You also said Campbell was poor yesterday in a post. Nothing about having to improve. Just he was poor yesterday.

    Yeah, grand. I'm not disagreeing tbh.

    We should all try and avoid rows this morning maybe.

    If any game showed how the two boys missed Ramsey it was yesterday

    I thought Campbell was poor on the ball and was hoping he would have been taking off

    His workrate was good though and at 22 he can hopefully improve and that was my original point

    He will have to improve to stay in the team

    Fair enough I do agree he doesn't look like first 11 material.

    In fairness the Gomid chance it was Kos who played him on he was too left and too deep

    True.

    I was thinking in general terms, that Mert isn't in a position to catch anyone in such situations.
    I feel that Gabriel/Kos are suited better in that system.

    On the other hand, you have Hector who was like half a pitch back and he managed to cover all this distance. And the save on the line (although it wouldn't count anyway). Makings of a legend!!

    I seen Bellerin making up some amount of ground to win the ball back of Gomis but I hadnt seen him clear off the line and crash into the post

    He is some player already. Love his determination

    With so many injuries, as long as he keeps the work rate up, supports his full back and maintains possession he will keep his place. If he can come up with the odd goal so much the better!

    Jaysus lads, Campbell has only played around 200 minutes of first team football this season, give the lad at least another few games before passing judgement on him, 1 start in the league and he has 1 goal, Oxlade Chamberlain has played 16 times this season and only scored once. I think this lad has huge potential if he can get a run of games under his belt and grow in confidence.

    What I really don't understand is how some Arsenal fans are posting on the chelsea super thread saying they were unlucky.

    They are up their with Spurs. How you could have an ounce of sympathy for that lot as an Arsenal fan I'll never understand.

    Let's hope they don't sack the miserable one as I really really don't want Pep there.

    Tbh I'm finding it hard to follow the discussion on Campbell.

    The lad showed very positive signs yesterday and for someone who has had feck all games the past 18mths that's fair play.

    The MOTD lads did a piece on his game that night that was very good, his use of the ball will improve when he plays more with the team

    I dont think Pep would touch that basket case of a club. Great to see their little tower of sand blowing away in the wind.

    As an Irish Arsenal fan, why do you hate Spurs?

    I'll be honest here and say that personally I never have and at times I quite enjoy how they play their football. If they were constantly beating Arsenal, always finishing ahead of them, or if I lived in London I'd imagine that would be quite different.

    I live in London, have done for 25 years. I actually don't hate Spurs but I do hate chelsea. I see the carnage after the North London derbies. But chelsea fans are worse.

    Arsenal's rivalry with Spurs goes back well over 100 years. It didn't start with today's generation so living in London today isn't and shouldn't be a criteria that needs to be met in order to hate Spurs. It's every Arsenal fans prerogative to hate Spurs.

    I'm surprised he's getting knocked for his performance vs Swansea, I thought he gave a very solid performance. I thought his tracking back was excellent compared to OX and he took his goal very well, he was one of the better players in a dreadful first half. As you said Gringo, we have to give the guy a few games before we start knocking him. We are a very fickle lot when it comes to our players.

    Anyway great result on Saturday, we were riding our luck in the first half but in the 2nd thanks to Ozil stepping it up, we ran out comfortable winners. It's great to see that we can squeeze out results like this.
