So move that type of player into the belly of the beast (
EPL MIDFIELD)?
People are so funny, you think playing OZIL in a hot cooking
EPL midfield where you have the likes of Yaya, Fernandinho, Matic, Barry, Huddlestone etc and more physically imposing midfielder will cover for his laziness and weakness?..
It's safe to keep that type of player on the wing as you can get away with it sometimes with him there, but moving such a player into a hot boiling
EPL midfield where we have tough / hard tackling midfielders would suit Ozil?
Wilshere, Ramsey and The Ox are better
EPL midfielders than Ozil..
We need to look at next season and buy world class DM world class CD ver good LD & RB cover and 2
EPL midfielders as cover.
Not exact matches
That s right Ramsey xhaka iwobi is one if the worst
midfields in recent arsenal history... Not one is a top
EPL team standard... Wenger has learnt nothing from last 2 games... 25 minutes in and not a shot on goal
A chelsea fan down here even said Arsenal are currently in spot to clinch the
EPL, that we're complete in defence and
midfield, said with the way our players are hungry that nobody would be a threat to us but all we need to pull the trigger is get a WC striker.
That sloppy pass by the central
midfielder cost Arsenal the game and a very similar one against Leicester City in the opening
EPL match almost cost us points as well.
We have the best
midfielders EPL and I would go and say outfield players too but we are not using them properly MR Wenger do sent change tactics to suit opponents and never seems to want to change tactics during a match he likes to play safe and sates comfortably converting with his assistance with nothing much than calm sometimes it back fires with losing by 8 goals and that is what drives me crazy with MR Wenger
I wonder whether some guys here watch other
EPL matches apart from Arsenal to see how many chances other teams create in a match.U will rant about Giroud who is not helping the team either but even with a big name like Cavani, Arsenal will still struggle.And bragging about a
midfield that is failing to make those through passes and beat defenders also shows a little football brain.
The squad is only a left - footed defender and defensive
midfielder away from winning the
EPL.
Let's go Vardy, and we shall be complete, remember we only lost this
EPL because our strikers couldn't find the net, if we have that complete finisher in Vardy, then I guess our
midfielders will have the extra boost.
as for the league, giroud is a 13 goal per season scorer, that is one goal every 3 matches, he is a feature striker, and this wont win anything unless you generate huge output from your
midfield... by comparison, henry scored 27 goals in the
epl when we won the league...
Thats just polite talk, many here think UNTD will be fighting for
EPL, i think they will fight for top 4, you just can buy 5, 6 players and expect to win something, they will sell Di Maria, thats big loss to them, and De Gea isnt safe either, cohesion of players is big part esspecialy in
midfield, they bought new mid, to work they will need time, and time in
EPL means no title, Chelsea and Arsenal have the biggest chance to win it, City squad is getting older and less motivated for
EPL, and i think Pelegrini isnt on level of Wenger and Mourinho
Against big teams in
EPL, without 4 5 players in
midfield, you will never have this amount of ball possession.
Not long ago it appeared that the Arsenal and England international
midfield star would be going on loan to Premier League club AFC Bournemouth, after another
EPL club Crystal Palace were previously thought to be winning the race for him.
I agree
EPL teams are not so generous in the
midfield and defense.
Lemar or Mahrez -
midfielder with which will enable us to Challenge for the
EPL.
He's one of the best
midfielders in the
EPL at the moment.
we have great fire power with probably the 2nd best creative attacking
midfield in the
EPL now the problem is that if we get congested in every game just outside the oppositions box there is no way we can score goals with 15 to 18 players in and around you, we need to change the way we play we can not play the million passing the ball game outside the box, we have to draw out the opposition to half way to be able to get behind their deference
we are a football club first and a business second... or should be... this is how all dictatorships end... the colonel of the
EPL lost his marbles 5 seasons ago on my estimate... he has become a character from a gabriel garcia marquez short story... or is that just some teenage
midfield prodigy he is trying to bring in from the Mexican third division...

If you want to win the
EPL, you need a hard bastard that takes no prisoners in
midfield, and that the OTHER team complains about, even at the expense of a yellow or red now and then.
In the
midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the
EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)
bellerin mustafi chambers... We have a non existent
midfield and a series of overhyped youngsters... Iwobi, the French kid who was the next Henry maitland miles the polish kid who was the next viera... Etc etc... Some might still make it after loan spells in lower leagues but after 10 years of cheapskate mismanagement the rot runs deep and can no longer be treated with a polishing here and there... Your endless reference to FIFA 18 has lost even it's flippancy... The club has entered the second tier of the
EPL and serious supporters need to get behind a campaign to remove wenger and kroenke before we go the way of leeds villa and forest... All clubs with wonderful pasts just like us
JACK WILSHER BRING ENERGY TO OUR
MIDFIELD THAT NO OTHER PLAYER OR TEAM IN THE
EPL HAS..
That's how some of us said we didn't need Fabrigas, that we had enough in our
midfield only for him to go to Chelsea and win the

Until we sign a top top class physical DM who can dominate
midfield, playing Ozil there in
EPL is so risky especially against big team.
Chelsea is champion but the will buy De Griezman from Atletico de Madrid they have the best defence in the league, the best
Midfield in the league with De Griezman, hazard and Costa they will be came invecibles that what Mourinho want to take from Wenger and do not forget that Wenger will never beat Mourinho, we just need 3 world class players just like Henry said, But Wenger have no ambitions to win the league, next year will be the same excuses why we fail again, Mourinho sold Mata even so he was voted the best Chelsea player the previous two years, and Wenger want to keep ineffective players like Walcott, Wiltshere, Diaby, Flamini, Ryo.Sanogo.Welbeck, sad but that is our fate with Wenger only problem for us the risk of loosing player like Alexis will be great if we do not win next year, we must to buy like Henry said, like Carzola is saying, we lost so many good players because they want to win and they are winning with others clubs.why we do not give ouself a chance of winning the
EPL?
in all honesty when we look at our available
midfield or available defence do we seriously consider its ready to catapult us into champions league or
epl title contention?
Wenger will have Xhaka back after the next
EPL game against Hull and you would not think we need two defensive
midfielders against the Tigers.
Point being: Even if AW buys the best CF, another 2 good
midfielders and 2 solid CBs we wont win the
EPL with his tactics.
So Arsenal are still the side that he would prefer to win this tight race for the
EPL trophy and although the England international
midfielder is set to spend the whole season with the Cherries, at least, he will soon get the chance to help the Gunners in our attempt to catch and overhaul the teams above us in the table.
Our
EPL campaign could be lie on our
midfield axis.
who knows whether a disgruntled Sanchez plus an untested lacazette will produce a better attack than last year and while I have hopes for kolasinac its already clear there will be teething issues with him... but the point is we are not fighting last year's battles we are in this year's
EPL against teams that have strengthened over the summer and it was wingers job to bring real quality to two key areas where we have clearly fallen behind in
midfield and central defence..
When fit, he is the best among all the holding
midfielders in the
epl, except yaya toure, and he should be partnering ramsey
Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta are both arguably past their best, while it remains to be seen whether Santi Cazorla can anchor the
midfield and stamp his authority on
EPL contests on a regular basis.
then don't expect us to win the
EPL, until we start buying players like walker for 50m we will remain average, d most important players are fightback, left back, DM, and creative
midfielder, the league now is too competitive pls let's stop leaving in the past, u can't win d league with holding, mert, kosieny, chambers, we have lost it
In
midfield we have Xhaka who is expected to improve this season as he is now used to
EPL plus the likes of Ramsey, Elneny, Coquelin and Orlando.
The 26 - year old
midfield star has been talking up our chances of winning the
EPL title this season and he believes that a relatively injury free campaign would give us a fantastic chance, thanks to the quality and squad depth available to Arsene Wenger.
Yes AW knows that OG12 is not enough thats why this season he got AS17 and he states that he got him to be a striker but the everton game gave him a picture of how
EPL defenders will make it harder for a small sized CF playing as a target man so now the old man is in dilemma on whether to buy another striker or improvise he will definetly sign a defender and another
midfielder but for a striker AW is undecided yet
We won the
EPL and went to the CL finale by having a 25 - 30 goals «machine», a destructive
midfield (not the «ladies» we have right now) and a powerful defensive structure (apart from Koscielny, no one is world class at the back).
but u have to agree that he hasn't all that good... and for the best creative
midfielder in
epl manh that's just a stretch and you know it

epl will be super competitive this coming season, still not sure we are fully ready, still need a striker or winger and a defensive
midfielder.
Asides not buying enough to give us depth in quality (which is very essential in winning the
EPL), Wengers style makes us an easy team to defend against by playing central
midfielders on the wing, who always drift to the center of the pitch when we are on the attack.
Add an in form Cazorla, Walcott, a fit Ox and Campbell / Sanchez slowly building up and the prospect of facing our
midfield will be daunting for all teams in the
EPL.
With star forward Radamel Falcao missing for Colombia, Ivory Coast will easily have the best player in the group in
midfielder Yaya Toure, who has won multiple
EPL titles with Manchester City in England.
