You also have to consider that it looks as though Arsene is going to without a defensive mid. The amount of discipline and quality required to revert to this system is quite high, which speaks of our midfield. Considering that I haven't been worried sick about our defense during the first two matches I've been impressed with the midfield. Although there appears to be a lack of a cutting edge, I think once the team gels the flow will improve and goals arrive.
That being said, I wouldn't mind if Wegner added a creative winger this week.

Really? I haven't seen the first Arsenal match against Sunderland, but against Stoke I've been less than impressed. It seemed like every ball went to Cazorla (who is a great signing btw), and Arsenal offense heavily depended on him. IMO, that is just not enough to win the PL. Guys like Arteta are fine, but Arsenal needs another creative midfielder that is a game changer. They should have gone hard after Hazard.
I've also been confused about the Giroud signing. He's a good player, but doesn't seem to me that he's the type for Wenger's system. Wenger should go after Dzagoev, guy is going to be a beast.
Defense has been good so far, but can they keep it up the whole season? They need cover in case of suspensions, injuries....Who's gonna replace Vermaelen (sp?) and Mertesackeer (sp?)?
City are close to signing Matija Nastasic from Fiorentina for 12M euros plus Stefan Savic going the other way. Kid is going to be the new Vidic. According to some Serbian and Italian sources, Chelsea also made a 18M bid.
