Default Arsenal 3rd Place and FA Cup winners - A Step Forward?

I'm not sure. In one way it's more of the same. We perform when then pressure's off because there's no chance of winning the league. I noticed when it was mentioned we could finish second, our form dropped off a bit. On the other hand, I don't think Alexis Sanchez is a typical Arsenal player (of recent seasons). His work rate is always a high and he doesn't disappear in big games. He also seems to bring the best out of Cazorla, who has always been so much better in the middle than on the left.

I hope Walcott can turn into a great Arsenal Centre forward. He needs to do it consistently though and he never has so far. Even when he plays on the wing, he's hit and miss. I don't know what's happened to Wilshere? He just never seems to make progress. He just seems to make the same mistakes in possession over and over again. As for the FA Cup celebrations, I though he was supposed to be Tee Total? Was he, or was Wenger just lying?

I'd like to see Arsenal sign a goalkeeper (Cech would be excellent!!!), a defensive centre midfielder and a striker. I do think that signing Sanchez was a big step forward. He seems to be able to raise his game when necessary. If only he could make all our other players do the same...
