5 Talking Points From Arsenal’s Win Against Newcastle United: John Terry Was Absolutely Right

  1. Joel Campbell has managed a fan following

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cannot ask for a better scenario to make an impact, given the injury crisis, but chose to squander the glorious opportunity, with a far-from-decent performance. His plight seems to have favoured Joel Campbell, with the Costa Rican suddenly becoming a fan favourite as he managed to change the rhythm of the game after coming on.

The English international now boasts the pride of not being directly involved in a Premier League goal in more than a year. Apart from his banter, he has not really improved in the past two years.

  1. Arsenal needs signings and not like a new signing

Arsenal supporters branded their lucky win as a stuff of champions, but they cannot expect their lads to pull off such ‘stuff of champions’ every single week. The Gunners desperately need to make winter signings as the title is theirs to lose now.

With midfield anchormen – Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla – expected to be on the sidelines for decisive fixtures, squad depth has become an issue to be addressed. A stopgap answer such as a loan move for Adrien Rabiot should be wise as one cannot really find top top quality in winter.
