Odds are had DCL played v Arse, he'd have been as useful as Piroe was..We got slaughtered, Piroe was just unlucky he was the starter and is suffering for it.
DCL has 2 goals and 1 assist against Arsenal in his career.
I also don't think he'd have made any difference.
DCL is decent in the air and duels but not brilliant with a 40% win rate.

I read earlier post about him needing various things to perform. Like 2 out & out wingers. So will he improve if Dan James comes back at 100%
It improves his chances yes....

Ger Lynch was highlighting the difference in our press yesterday compared to the Everton and Newcastle games.
I'd agree as thought we looked lethargic yesterday and if I was being highly critical a bit lazy and not willing to put the hard yards. Maybe it was the fact we had so much possession but it really wasn't good enough at times.

Exactly what I inferred with not being galvanised.
Beating the Burnleys etc is vital.
It was very lack lustre.

If we add in Okafor and Gnonto as well then yes definitely.
Plus signing a no'10 in January wouldn't go amiss.

Jay Dog-Eat-Dog would’ve been good.

They way we have set up has given us a pretty decent return.
Plus you make the mistake to believe that our players are completely one dimension and can not adjust how they approach a game.
Its not as if we are getting played off the park is it? Or are getting carved open time and time again.
What I am not surpised at is the fact that even though we know it would be hard, with so many disadvantages being a newly promoted side fans still to think that their untested theories are a solution to a problem that the manager has done well in addressing.
Making us competitive at this level,
He has and we are.
I agree with some of your points,but we are conceding silly goals from defence,I think Bijol has got to play Friday,I also think tanaka and James should play Aaronson and Stach out,we need to change something that is going to get us scoring goals .
