Aito Karanka's Middlesbrough
team came to the Emirates on a brilliant run of form and with complete confidence that they could compete with Arsenal on equal terms, but straight from the kick - off the Gunners gave them a masterclass in passing and possession and poor
Boro were brought down to earth with a bump.
The Welshman made a crucial assist, worked hard for the
team and really played the role of a box - to - box midfielder against
Boro and should be given a start.
All said though we are at home and
boro wouldnt of came across many
teams that can boast an Ozil Alexis Walcott Rosicky Santi type attack.
I'll go a step further if Van Djik hasn't signed for Liverpool I would try to make a move and here is why: 1) Prem experience 2) Southampton plays a similar style of football than Arsenal 3) He can play in both a 3 and 4 man defense with his ability on the ball 4) Mustafi has been up and down and I don't know which one we're getting ahead of next season and will it be for 38 weeks 5) Mertesacker will go into a non playing role 6) Chambers has played well at
Boro but well enough to play a big role into this
team... not really and could be used in any deal for Van Djik 7) Koscielny is our best defenders but is dealing with a chronic injury not only that he hasn't made the best decisions at times Everything mentioned above will free wages but also increase Wenger money to spend!
Chambers done well at
Boro, he won their fans over and
Boro had a def record of a top half
team when they got relegated, it was their att that let them down, not Chambers.
I would not eqbt to see that match... sure walcott can take the place of alexis when the second has been more important for us in 3 years than the first in 10 years... im not ok with alexis attitude yesterday but u do nt know if that was because he was sustituted... maybe he was not ok with his performance or he want mire goals, and thats ok for me, that attituted u will never see in theo because he born here under wenger and he is ok with his wages that he do nt deserve and being 4th... im ok with alexis attitud in
boros game, because a draw was not enought for arsenal, and im ok with him when he ask for the salary he does diserve... for me he is one of the best in the epl, maybe the best, and without any question who makes things happen in our
team... he deserves 200 or 250k a week more than any in our
team, even moseur wenger... ozil deserve 180k only because he is going up with his performances and have show more attitud than ever... ur famous theo deserve 80k or go and play at west ham
We are likely to have amost a full
team complement, so we need to combine our performance against ManCity, with the games against
Boro».
For now, let the
team beat
Boro, advance and retain FA, luckily finish 3rd in EPL and make the semis or even finals of ECL.
we could take the
boro coach, he knows how to stay on top, like he is in the championship, how to beat big
teams, like he whacked man city and how to instill fear in opponents, like he has instilled in the vast arsenal fraternity

team defend better in the box, especially if it comes down to having bodies at the back, as we saw in the game against
Boro.

LOL these statements by Le Fraud are just to prepare the Fans for life after SANCHEZ and OZIL, changing formations against
BORO was just to show Fans he can change and be flexible... well old man a bit too late we all know your ways once the storm is over and you get a decent win you will go back to your old ways and announcing you are staying to REVAMP the
team....
Sanchez as a ST doesn't work against every

Boro.

team can finally get their first three points of the year.
Otherwise,
teams will come to sit back and defend like
Boro and challenge our title push.
Boro are better than some premier league
teams so let's not be complacent... and I don't expect arsenal to be.
We have a relatively easy run during that period, 2 champions league games against the weakest
team in the group and efl cup home game against reading, 1 away game at Sunderland and 3 home league games against swansea,
Boro and the hardest one coming a month away against the filth.

team, the
boro fans respected Chambers for doing a good job, boro got relegated due to their poor attac
boro fans respected Chambers for doing a good job,
boro got relegated due to their poor attac
boro got relegated due to their poor attack...
So if the
Boro supporters can stay positive when they are in such a precarious position, why can't the travelling Arsenal fans get behind the
team and spur them on to the three points, instead of booing our own players and swearing at the manager?
I hope arsene will rest some of our first
team players ahead of
boro game, we can't risk picking up another crazy injury.
If he had played a weak
team and Liverpool had either drawn or lost to
Boro (highly unlikely) he would have been hung out to dry by the media and fans.
With the talk of his right hand man
Boro leaving at the end of the season and getting a sporting director in I'm hopefully that should AW sign da ting, which I have a funny feeling he will, despite knowing he should probably just go, then I hope he can somehow develop a ruthless streak and cut some deadwood out of the
team, secure some top players at all cost, and bring in the Terminator as his new assistant and save his name by somehow winning league am going out in a blaze of glory

Every thing has been said about «that goal «and iv only watched it 50 times but it's just one of a dozen things that has defined this season imo, 9 men at
Boro, 2 pens at Cardiff to name a couple, but one thing for sure, none of this
team or Nuno and his staff will ever forget season 2017, 18, when Neves reflects on his career in a decade or so, regardless of his World appearances and champions league wins (hopefully with us) and Nuno looks back on his first season in England, this will be where it all started.

Thnks SF for this knock - out match up info.I've always thought that winning or loosin agst Porto yesterday did nt matter, as I saw these big
teams fallin to the 2nd place, I was thinking that may be it shud be also gud for us to be 2nd so that we would face lower
team in the knck - out rd but this seem to be the otherway ard.Panathinaikos is the only small
team there, the rest are all danger for us.But who knows??!!! As far as the history of this season taught us, it seems like we play better agst bigger
team than agst smaller
team, so lets just hope the best for our players.As SF said: the biggest matter now is the game agst
BORO on strday.
PUTTING BODY ON THE LINE???? I PERSONNALY THINK THAT THIS IS PART OF THE BUSINESS, This is the players» personnal problem based on the decision that they have made to be a Pro-Football player.This is what they are paid for (Millions and millions of wages), and they have to take the risk on their own sake.To give an angle of an undertanding perspective as Arsenal Fan and as WE all have been always doing, i think The players might have been frustrated from seeing what happened to Rosicky and Eduardo so that they do nt wan na risk so much for the sake of their future carriere as they are also still young.May be!!!??? We do nt know!!!! But for me: If they are appointed and have decided to engage themself into the PL game and the CL and agreed to take the wages then they have to do the task that they are suuposed to do, regardless of their ages and personnal condition.We pay the most expensive ticket with hope in mind to see our
team fighting NOT FORCELY WINNING.Evrybody here understand all the PBM, and i repeat again, EVEN IF WE HAVE LOST THE GAME BUT WE DID GIVE OUR BEST AND FOUGHT TILL THE END, THEN ITS UNDERSTANDABLE.WE WILL ALL LEAVE THE EMIRATES AT THE END OF THE GAME WITH PRIDE IN OUR HEART.AND the worse thing yesterday is that it was
BORO.
@ Annoyed, I also must admit that I slightly underestimated
Boro, evn thou I was the one who used to mention to not do that here, I also agree with you about the suggestion of bringing the young guys up to get experienced for the next season.But franckly my friend, please watch the reply of the game again, The boro defense were so opened for an usual full attack Arsenal way of play.In the 1st half they were evn panicking evrytime we attacked of which we shoud have taken advtges but did nt happen.The more attack you launch on pressure to your opponent, the more chance you have for scoring a goal.And we did have the opportunity from the fact that Boro's defense were desorganised during the 1st half and the 1st 20mn of the 2nd half, counter attack launch opportunity were a lot but we just did nt take them, which means that Its us who did nt take our chance at best but not Boro is the good team.Hull city!!? i totaly agree that they are much stronger and physical team, as well as newcastl or westham or portsmouth or Avilla.But that game yestday was not so tight as the same we played agst those team tht I mentioned above, we could have clearly won that game if we played a bit stronger, did nt even need lots of our skill capacity but just a bit of acceleration, then we could have had more chance to score, watch the reply and u will see yours
