I don't know if it would have made any difference to the result, but I think we would have looked more composed in possession
if the BFG had played.
However,
if BFG and Koscielny play as they have been playing in recent weeks together and compliment each other's strengths and weakness then they can nullify the effect of the Baggies attackers.
We have some depth in that position now
if the BFG and Gabriel stay on.
IF BFG is fit to play, then move Chambers to DM alongside Jack for the UCL game.
If the BFG is going to replace him next summer, will Lehmann be the first to move up the ladder?
Mustafi BFG Nacho should have been the back 3 at least for the first 45 - 60 mins,
if BFG is struggling then put Elneny there or something loool?
If BFG is having foot races with forwards on a regular basis there is something very wrong somewhere else on the field.
If the BFG is still ill though and Gabriel has to partner Chambers at the heart of our back line, we could have a problem on our hands...
I do nt think he is I think it'll be the same reson rolled out as per usual «we were looking very hard but there was noone who adds value to the current team who was available» In other words there was noone who was good who was free!!!! this german defender is a nessecity buy and
if BFG was not injured we wouldnt be in the market for anyone at all.
Mahrez should be a no brainer,
if BFG is injured for 5 months no excuse not to go for a Koulibaly / Manolas and completely fill the hole.
If BFG walks back in when healthy Wenger is a bigger idiot than I fear.
Not exact matches
The first and most obvious would be
if the Frenchman now goes into the transfer market and signs a big name top quality centre back and his words and about the
BFG's injury on the Arsenal website suggest that he might, a lot of Gooners may just be quite happy about Mertesacker's knee problem.
the point im trying to make is that
if we have a DM it will slow the counter attacks down, giving
BFG a few extra seconds to read the play, therefore getting the best out of him...... im not a football manager or a coach, but its not only me who can see this flaw in our game, its the whole world.....
DM Striker
BFG is a bench player
if we can c this why can't he???
I for once will be happy
if holding can take his chance and bench
BFG and Gabriel.
If Arsenal are genuinely SERIOUS about challeging for the EPL and in Europe the following players should be given there walking orders;
BFG SZCZESNY CAMPBELL PODOLSKI FLAMINI JENKINSON (unless converted to CB) * THEO (all about the contract) DIABY (released)
If Wenger was serious he could have signed a CB by now after
BFG injury.
If he ain't betrer than
BFG then he's a useless signing, we need to move forward as a club which means the players we buy mustn't just add extra numbers but must bring in quality to the club.
although neither the Ox nor Mustafi will presumably be selected.This means that Monreal will undoubtedly continue to offer mediocrity in the back three.Im not sure who will complete the triumvirate...
If it's the
BFG then Mane will be locking his lips..
If not, why didn't buy one before now as
BFG was long known that he will be out for months?
If Arsenal truly want to challenge on all fronts this season, they need to sign a top quality experienced centre back that isn't just here to fill the gap whilst Mertesacker is injured, but a player who can replace the
BFG on a long term basis.
* Number spent will be even less
if Wenger decides to sell Campbell, Ox,
BFG or Wilshere (instead of Ramsey) Arsenal IMHO have to sell two of Jack, Ramsey, Walcott, and Ox to afford BETTER players in midfield.
we had it with Campbell Toure.we are doing well with
BFG and Koscielny at the moment.Gabriel can only usurp any
if he only proves himself.we shouldn't forget that Mertesacker was a long time starter for one of the best national sides in the world.i don't see that as a weakness or a mere fluke.
I doubt
if some people here ever watch Arsenal's matches.How on earth could you ever rate Gabriel ahead of the
BFG someone that has rearly been tested.its sad that people unde - rate someone that his combination with Koscielny has given us one of the best defense in recent years.some would even rate vermalin ahead of Mertesacker even when it was obvious that the former has lost it.This guy was voted few years back as the second best player of the entire season only behind the outstanding Rambo.
If Gabriel wants a starting berth he needs to prove it 1st and not get it on a platter of Gold..
Chambers is back - up for
BFG, or, may even replace him in games
if he carries on as he has started.
BFG has not been up to it so far this season, addition to our defense was promised in the summer but not delivered, according to Wenger «He looked but none was available», fast forward to AGM and Wenger says «we will purchase a defender in January», well
if we couldn't find a defender in the summer will that defender miraculously become available in January when 1) his cost will be twice as expensive 2) could be cup tied and 3) with clubs fighting relegation or fighting for the title.
another central defender
if only
BFG leaves, i think we have enough defensive back up and it would great that our academy players gets some chance to play and show their class.
Kos has a mistake in him and
BFG would have too
if he could get to them in time but he's sooo slow it's embarrasing.
Could Wenger be looking to sell the
BFG on this summer
if Hannover 96 come calling?
If I was gabriel I would be fuming from inside... cause gabriel is so much better than him but still
BFG starts while gabriel always start from the bench...
Kolasinac was not part of starting 11,
if it wasn't for injury to
bfg, he wouldn't even have played.
We have to play chambers instead of
BFG if we know what's good for us.
I like the idea of signing Dragovic but I don't know alot about the player to know
if he is in the same region as (for example) Fabian Schar, which would be my # 1 choice to replace
BFG.
Bremen snapped up Gnabry at a good price as the youngster was entering the last year of his contract at the Emirates, and now they could get our
BFG for free
if they are willing to wait til next summer, or at a reduced price in January, and after Mertesacker admitted that he would be considering his future in January, then this is a very likely scenario.
However at least we now have the
BFG's services secured for at least one more season,
if he does of course still feature in the bosses» plans.
I wouldn't go so far as saying AW missed a trick as
BFG has an obvious issue too and
if he had played maybe instead of Carroll it was Payet who scored a hattrick and we would be here slamming AW for changing a winning line up that has kept clean sheets in the last two games.
However my issue with making Mertesacker captain is the fact that much like Arteta, the
BFG is going to make a limited number of appearances in the latter stages of his Arsenal career and Mertesacker has even suggested in the past months that he may have to consider leaving Arsenal
if he doesn't get regular playing time.
If we look into Arsenal defenders list, we can see:
BFG, Koscielny, Debuchy, Gibbs, Monreal, Chambers, Bellerin.
This would be the thing to do
if both Kos and
BFG are missing.
The
BFG is a world cup winner; he knows what it takes to win trophies and such a player should not be on the bench
if he is fit!
I say sell him as long as we get Cech, is fair play for both sides; but we also need to look into improving our defense; although I like the guy and his attitude towards ARSENAL, one of the biggest culprits of Zceczny fall of grace was
BFG, WENGER needs to find a replacement ASAP,
if we want to win anything major anytime soon we need a world class CB, just a GK will not make it.
If Wenger were to be after a player of Hummels caliber it would signal to me he may fear or know of a player wanting to leave (Kos more likely than
BFG).
If it was
BFG instead of Gabriel, Lukaku would've scored....
1) GK — better 2) LB — same, possibly better
if Gibbs improves, Monreal has plateaued 3) RB — better as Bellerin will only improve 4) CB first pairing — same, as the
BFG is getting older but he can't get shorter or slower, 5) CB second pairing — better since we didn't have a pair last year 6) DM — better as Arteta is now back up and Coquelin should get even better 7) Box to box — better
if you think Ramsey and Wilshire still have room to improve and are still being kept out by Carloza 8) LW — better, Sanchez might not get too much better but Welbeck is an improvement on Podolski 9) RW — same
if Theo moves up front but Ox and Gnabry have lots of room to improve 10) CAM — same 11) Striker — better as Giroud / Theo is stronger than Giroud / Sanogo
Arteta has no physical presence, no pace, does nt pass f orward, can not slot into the c.bk position
if kosc or
bfg push fotward he just does nt look comfortable, numerous times in the past 2 seasons players just brush pass him with ease.
If Gab's english isn't up to doing that, and if Arsene doesn't feel that Cech has a good hold on it, than we may see more BFG than we may want t
If Gab's english isn't up to doing that, and

if Arsene doesn't feel that Cech has a good hold on it, than we may see more
BFG than we may want to.
World class LB so we have 2 sell Gibbs 2 world class CB as LK and
BFG are coming to an end so john stones one of them and
if it's 50 million do a deal Gibbs and chambers plus cash.
BFG, Arteta, Flamini, Tomas, Podolski are coming close to the time to retire or move on, and Wenger is nurturing their replacements, or, buying them,
if he feels those coming through are maybe not going to make it at AFC.
2) OZIL
if he would have not been our biggest signing, you can bet your bottom dollar that he would be warming bench on a permanent basis, he is great player no doubt, but not for ARSENAL, I will always say OZIL was never the same since that defeat at ETIHAD against Man City, when
BFG had to reprimand his attitude after the game.
Because
BFG is to slow and always making mistakes and Chambers tbh is shit and
if LC get hurt we are stuffed.
