League, Europa

But now it seems (after another long term injury) that he is now back to full fitness, and now Wenger is saying that the 32 year - old is now back in contention

There are various theories about why the Gunners keep falling short in the race
for the Premier
League title and our various and numerous injury problems certainly do not help, but it is the way that the team fails to turn up at times in crucial

League hammering at the hands of Bayern Munich that many will point to as evidence that the boss is not getting the best from his

League campaign.

Every year when Arsenal go through a bad patch (like losing ONE out of the first TEN

After we gave Chelski a good spanking last season in probably Conte's fifth or sixth
game in charge he immediately re organised them and went through till the new year unbeaten.He had them very solid at the back and scoring goals
for fun.And all this with a
squad of players he inherited and their top striker Costa wanting Away.They ended up romping to the Premiere

for the season they are having.
Theo Walcott, Laurent Koscielny and Kieran Gibbs are all in contention to make the

For a big club like Arsenal, with Champions
League football to cope with every season as well as the Premier

game and progress their football careers.
Arsenal may have «shot themselves in the foot» (as Wenger said) by not being ready

The season before last 14 15 we did better with the points than last season even though we came second from last season we know we conceded many goals from set pieces and were very short on goal scoring the logic of this season was to fix the defensive department and the offensive department by introducing a defender to reduce the amount of goals conceded unless holding is to be the man we havent us of yet fixed the problem on the offensive department we all know the only offensive player is chuba apkom well else we have not addressed the problem so in reality I do not except Arsenal to finish the season with more than 70 points and personally think minimum point required to win the premier
league is 85 points have we got that in our
squad it will remain to be seen if chuba and holding are enough
for a key to unlock the season we will soon find out but I think MR wenger is gambling with the introduction of new manageress which lives us with Liverpool and Leicester and who will take the points off united chelsea and city the next 6
games should give us the indication to what may happen to the long run
for the new year

Through a combination of injuries and suspensions, the United

Now I think there is still reasons to be cheerful, I agree Man C & Chelski have spent & bought some good players, we all understand that 5 of those teams might be in the CL proper which is a huge distraction
for those 4 - 5 teams.Chelsea will not be able to field the same 13 - 14 players all season, as
for Man C they were very frail at the back last season, add to that 2 flying wing backs and I'm not sure they will be any better this coming season.LFC will most probably have CL as well if they qualify and haven't exactly bought great players apart from Salah who could be a good aquasistion
for them.Spuds have sold a good player & strengthened a rival & still not bought a single player yet, Man U have bought 2 good players & in Lukaku have a proven goal scorer in the PL but if they play the same dour way they did last season & with the added
games the CL brings will they perform week in week out in the
league??? As for Everton yes they have released a lot of players and also brought in a lot too to give better quality in the squad as they have Europa league the same as US the big difference is I think we will play squad players & youngsters maybe with a few senior players all the way up to the QF This tells me most of our rivals will pave the way for us to field pretty much the same side every weekend in the PL thus giving us an advantage over all the other 5 teams playing in the CL & Europa, just remember the League has been won in the last 2 seasons by teams NOT in Europe YES we are this season but I think Wenger will put all his eggs in the League basket and field an under strength side in all comps hence focusing on the League until we are no longer in the

The Arsenal players in the France international
squad would appear to have the edge on their Premier
League rivals in the plans of the France manager Didier Deschamps, or at least
for the opening
game of the Euro 2016 tournament tonight against an unfancied Romania team.
Last season, Arsenal were far from ready
for our first
League game which we duly lost to Liverpool with a makeshift defensive set up, but this time around Wenger is much more confident that he will have a strong
squad ready when we take on Leicester.
So it was a positive night
for our second string
squad, and after winning our first three they can carry on
for our last three Group
games, while our A-Team tries to get back on track in the
League.
Okay so we still have three weeks before the start of the new Premier
League season, but it is just as well because Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal
squad have a hell of a lot of work to do to get ready
for it after getting a proper pasting from Chelsea in the third
game of our pre-season schedule.
I agree with those odds simply because i believe the some team that were stronger than Arsenal last season have done some really good business to further strengthen there
squads, Bernardo Silva & Kyle Walker
for Man City with what they already have plus what pep will add plus its gonna be his second season so he will be a bit more familiar with the EPL and this may make them really tough to beat, Tiemoue Bakayoko & Antonio Rudiger Chealsea plus a top striker and Chelsea will sill be one of the teams to beat, Tottenham are gonna be solid, they've kept the team together and Victor Lindelof & Romelu Lukaku
for Man - u and Mourinho is not done yet if the rumors are true and there also the Mourinho second season thing, as much as i'd like to be hopeful
for next season, i really do nt think Lacazette and Kolasinac are enough to make us challenge
for the
league plus having Europa
league will give the team less time to recover
for the weekend
games, the formation change is the only thing i see can make the difference.
Captain Dana Torres led the way
for his
squad with a big 15 points in a crucial
game for AKL who once again showed why they are considered one of the best Hoops
squads in the Champaign
League.
On paper I know we may seem like we have one of the best
squads in the
league, but that counts
for nothing if our players are underperforming or goes missing every few
games.
of course, i get frustrated at the fact we buy 1 decent player and then all the pressure sits on their shoulders i feel
for sanchez every
game he works his arse off and he looks like he annoyed by some of the other players who ai nt up to it we have a decent
squad but we need 1st team cdm and a striker and a decent cb, look at bayern benatia, boateng, martinez, dante all being played at cb but our only decent cb is kos, its not good enough i like mert but he ai nt gonna help us win the
league, would love arsene to finish this season with at least 1 more trophy and then try bring in pep guardiola he's the only manager similar to arsenal's style but i think he would need a promise from the board
for big funds
He will come back to the Premier
League and he will already be looking
for a club to join that will get him the
games that he needs to guarantee him a place in the France
squad.
