Another defeat and its doom and gloom from all circles. Every time we concede a goal, there is an inquisition as to our ability to defend. If we look a little bit closer we can see that luck has deserted us and we have a tendency to self-destruct.

Game one against Newcastle saw both Gervinho and Song pick up three match bans which affected us for the next three games.

We have a torrid start to the season, let's not get deluded we have lost 3 games and are now languishing at the bottom of the table. This is not acceptable for the fans nor is it acceptable for Wenger. His comments after Saturday clearly show his frustration with what is happening at the moment, more so is his inability to do anything about what is happening.

As Arsenal prepare for a crucial Champions League encounter in Italy, Wenger needs to throw away the blueprint for Arsenal games and get Arsenal to play ugly.

Arsenal's cavalier style of football will not work in Italy, Udinese are team that will play on the counter-attack and from the first leg experience, and they have the ability to tear us apart.

It's now or never for Wenger. The squad is the weakest since Arsene's reign started that there is no doubt. Suspensions and injuries are mounting and we have only played three games. Our squad for today included two players who are outward bound and contained 8 youngsters.

Whilst we could see the potential in both Frimpong and Miguel today, trophies are not won with potential, but as Wenger told us in May with experience.

Arsene Wenger has announced the Samir Nasri is in the squad for tomorrow's game against Liverpool. This will be a very interesting game for Nasri, he will play in the playmaker position that he has wanted to play in for some time, yet the fans will not forgive him nor will they greet him with the adulation that they showed last season.

The next three matches are the most important matches in Arsene's time at Arsenal. Never has an Arsenal team been so short of quality players and never has our season hung on thread so early. Three defeats and the fans will be calling for Arsene's head, three undefeated games and Arsene will have bought time to restructure the squad.

Arsenal beat Udinese 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League play-off. Ramsey looked good in midfield, Gervinho ran his heart out, Vermaelen was solid and Szczesny showed why we do need another goalkeeper.

The game started well for Arsenal, with Theo given us the lead after four minutes, after that though it was backs to the wall as Udinese caused us many problems.

The first game is way to Newcastle followed by a home game with Liverpool sandwiched in between our Champions League qualifier, then just to round off August we travel to Old Trafford.

The away game to Newcaslte gives the opportunity to bury that nightmare game of last season when we let a 4 goal lead slip and the game that probably saw us start to slip away in the title race.
