We can't defend corner kicks, and neither can we score from them.Makes me wonder what the players do in training 6 days a week.I ever wonder why our CBs go up for the corners coz
none of our players even bothers to challenge for the ball
Gortat managed to sneak into the Celtics» huddle and
none of the players even noticed.
It's one thing if we were a top four team last season, but we weren't, and
none of the players even came close to being a top 4 team players (aside from parts of willian and fabregas).
None of these players even made their All - Conference first team.
Not exact matches
SAME POOR TACTICAL WENGER...
even blind could see that
none of our
players took on the central striker's role, yet he had Akpom on the bench.
Dzeko, Bony or Jovetic, (
none of them stepped up last year) they lost title when Aguero got injury, thats our power,
even if we lose our key
players we still can win games, cuz
of our style, while others cant,
even Chelsea struggled last season when they lost Cesc and Costa
he is making arsenal play like barcelona with the tiki taka beautiful football thing.Sorry to tell you this arsene but
none of our
players are
even half barcelona
players apart from cech
of course.
At the very least we could had this team for 150mil over the last 2 seasons with Mendy this summer that's about 200mill over 3 summers maybe
even bakayoko added this summer aswell
even 250mil over 3 summers is not breaking the bank so that just shows how rubbish Wenger is coz it's not about money it's about identifying the
players none of these
players would
of broke the bank so no excuses
None of our other
players wouldn't have been sharp enough to capitalize on that and before anyone says it — no, not
even sanchez.
Last week,
even in the face
of those ugly - duckling numbers, everyone with a stake in the USFL — from Simmons to the owners to the
players to the folks at ABC and ESPN — everyone claimed that
none of those numbers were as catastrophic as they seemed.
Our 3 back is just so wrong.We don't have natural wingbacks
even in this formation.It also seems to me that lots
of people here believe if you're good at right or left fullback then automatically you're good at RWB / LWB which quite frankly is untrue.That's why Oxlade Chamberlain can be considered at RWB but not right back.At RWB or LWB you're asking too much in terms
of attack from Bellerin and Kolasinac.A proper wing back can be viewed as a more defensive winger which quite frankly
none of them are and they don't possess the flexibility too to play that way.Our midfielders are also not disciplined enough because in 3 back there's a huge gap in the centre
of the field that must be covered by our CM's so indiscipline only means disaster.We also have Ozil who looks like he's playing at RW in 3 back.In that we're limiting his impact because Ozil takes on his man because he wants to not because he likes to.You can't play such
players at the wing.He's a proper No. 10 who likes to be given freedom.That's why Ozil plays likes he's lazy on the ball and stuff.It's because he wants to be free and for that you need to put him at No. 10.
Either way, it's obvious our manager has lost the dressing room, and it's
even more obvious that
none of the
players care about winning anymore.
you fans from the beginning
of the season some
of us where saying the team is not good enough no Wolcott is on fire bellerin best left back Sanchez ozil Lauren world class ox running the midfield some
of us are not fool that easy the i said the team where actually overachieveing base on the quality
of the
players we are not blind i don't believe in god so i analyze and scrutinize every
players individually and collectively
none of our
players can start for the top ten clubs not
even sanchez
No one can
even agree on who the best QB in the draft is, and
none of them have better overall ratings then Barkley, Nelson, or Chubb, nor are they projected to be better NFL
players.
Xhaka and Elneny cost 40m and
none of them can be trusted yet and we still want Wenger to spend... My point is,
even if Wenger spends 150m, things won't be change, we change
players but tactics don't change.
For me the
players in contention were Monreal, Elneny and Ozil but I gave it to Emiliano Martinez because
none of the goals were his fault and he made some good saves to stop it being
even worse, and as he is our 3rd choice in goal we don't expect the same from him as we do the others.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety
of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style
of play has become a shadow
of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where
players play out
of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current
players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid
of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can
even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out
of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes
of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play
of Monreal, but
none of these
players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio
of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part
of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part
of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature
of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive
players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a
player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out
of position far too many times since arriving and that the
players in front
of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this
player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that,
of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but
even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one
of those 3
players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one
of the most committed skill
players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already
of course... strangely enough,
even he doesn't make sense given the constructs
of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would
even suggest such a
player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack
of mobility is an albatross around the necks
of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because
of the 5 or 6
players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
total failure... Can you believe Wenger spent 32 millions on 2 average
players (Chambers and Welbeck) and is penny pinching when is sbout real class
players?What is in his mind?Pay a fortune in salary for mediocre
players live Walcott, Ramsey and Wilshere and have hesitations about increasing Sanchez wages... keeping on books failures like Sanogo... The truth is - I say it for years and years - until the «British core» disapears, we are not going to be succesful.The low quality
of British
players is dragging the team back.Last time Arsenal was a powerhouse
NONE of the first 11 was British.Wanna see how the British quality looks like in a football team - look no further than national sides
of England, Scotland, N Ireland, Wales,
even Ireland (not British but same style)- all mediocre teams «able» to be defeated by any team coming to mind.And you are asking about Chambers?He is in the same mold like Wilshere,Walcott,Ox,Ramsey,Gibs,Jenkinson - mediocre overpriced and overpaid
players.The world is full with hungry, ambitious and skilled
players living in poverty and dreaming
of moving to the top at any cost or sacrifice (did you see the poor house - if you can call that house, looking more like an old tent - in which Alexis Sanchez grew up?Or Suarez?)
The way we got beaten yesterday was embarrassing, it wasn't
even nearly good enough, wenger will prob say «it was just a friendly and doesn't really matter» and «it was a chance to try something different with some youth
players» and to an extent he is right but
none of the
players in an Arsenal shirt were good enough and we looked very weak and if we play anything close to that in the prem,
even against a bottom half team we will probably lose.
Those
players will never reach any other level that the one they are playing now...
None of them will be world class or
even great
players.
most
of these
players should be ploughing their trade in the lower divisions... but
none are as overrated as the so - called whippet who does nt
even have the pace to threaten defences anymore
Scum came with a game plan to fustrate us yesterday
none of our
players played bad and
none played really great but was a good team performance but I think it suprised us how much lack
of ambition they had
even palace had more ambition wen they came to us their bus was
even bigger then Chelsea's COYG
I like to think that
none of our key
players would
even second think a switch to White Hart Lane (or their new unnamed stadium), but it would be a huge reality check if someone like Ramsey did force a move to their club.
Whatever the problem, it was clearly a problem amongst the personalities in the team, because when you saw the shots
of the bench yesterday, the
players were laughing and joking amongst each other, and we looked like a proper team, whereas before there was
none of that, and
players weren't
even congratulating each other when they scored.
I hope this is a joke... Wilshere is not a first team
player and no where valued at those wages rates (well, English
players are overpriced and overvalued anyway and
none of them could
even pretend playing in a top European outfit) and I would wonder what
players like Carzola, Coquelin and more think when they are obviously more IMPORTANT than Wilshere.
Wenger has no concept
of defensive coaching —
none whatsoever and frequently plays attacking
players out
of position,
even giving attacking midfielders the midfield anchor role as in the case
of Arteta.
Even if we did ever amass 11 truly world class
players, Arsene at the helm would find a way to put them in the wrong positions, or set them up tactically incorrect, or would find a way to insert Ramsey / Jack / Gibbs / Giroud / Theo / The Ox when
none of them have proven that they have what it takes to perform at that level.
I mean you remember the
players we had before... Destructive, skilled and lethal at the front... Right now we have
none of that, not
even near...
Just look at some
of the
players that have been utlized on the LW — Cazorla, Ozil, Ramsey
even Wilshere — highly ineffective because
none of them have that pace to beat
players down the flank.
We haven't
even kicked a ball in the upcoming Epl season and you're feeding us «what if we lose by a big margin to Chelsea and blah blah» Enough already, take your negativity elsewhere, nobody,
none of you, not
even Arsene Wenger or the
players will make me go through what we all went through last season.
Surprise, surprise, but
none of the connected steroid
players were
even close to being elected, including the Home Run King, Barry Bonds (36.2 %).
At UCLA, defense is a team affair, and
none of the
players —
even Goodrich — is particularly outstanding in this department once the team's tough zone press breaks down.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition
of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release
of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state
of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid
of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy
of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid
of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid
of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction
of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return
of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort
of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative
of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition
of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle
of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that
player into the fold without any
of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind
of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special
players and certainly can't help make the
player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack
of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper
players in the final third... he was never a good defensive
player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result
of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest
of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands
of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and
even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when
none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club
of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't
even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid
of some serious deadweight,
even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field
of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version
of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history
of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a
player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet
of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival
of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone
of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand
players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that
of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part
of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those
players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet
of those who were well aware all along
of the potential pitfalls
of just such a plan but continued to follow it
even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
None of the
players above — plus others on the fringes, like Cardiff City's Steven Caulker, Southampton's Jay Rodriguez, and possibly
even England Under - 21's like Ravel Morrison and Nathan Redmond — are fully developed.
Firstl, I want to say that, on comments on here, and, MOTD and pundits, a lot commented about defensive frailties,
none however bothered to mention that, we had Kos out injured, and so, had to bring in an obviously unfit BFG, to play alongside 2
players he had NEVER played with before, and hardly practiced with
even, and, Chambers struggled too as a consequence
of that.
Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction
of this club... regardless
of those who still feel that Henry has some sort
of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding
of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense
of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless
of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday
evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures
of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers
of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state
of our squad,
none of our world class
players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one
of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one
of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
We Arsenal fans overrate their
player's a lot.No wonder when our
players leave to another club eventually their quality always declines
even if they're world class.Take a look at all the top
players who have left Arsenal and look at their careers.Things start well and end badly.It is unfair to say Sanchez is irreplaceable because
none of you can know until you give the chance to another
player and no one knew he would have this impact.This should tell you that until you try you can't know.I hate it when we allow
players to treat us like this.Why not sell him abroad and get a top winger to replace him instead
of allowing him to go for free?How do you know we will or won't win the league with him or if another top winger comes in.We might really really regret this season if the future
of some key
players are not sorted out.We overrate our
players a lot its a joke.
Wenger has tried various other
players in his role including Mohamed Elneny, Granit Xhaka, Aaron Ramsey and
even Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain, but
none of them have
even come close to Cazorla's creativity on a regular basis.
Yes, there were challenges associated with that move — debts to pay,
players sold without proper replacements and the whole nine yards, but we still tried to compete,
even though we fell short on several occasions and
none hurts more than the 2006 Champions League final but nine years
of a trophy drought changed to sheer elation when the Gunners won the FA Cup in 2014.
Spurs could be missing a few key
players,
none more influential than Rafael Van der Vaart, but Bolton have struggled to
even compete away from home at times and another lacklustre away performance could see them on the receiving end
of another spanking.
We spend 20 mill on a whole heap
of young
players may be
even more and only 1 comes through or in some cases
none or their always injured or take a whole heap
of time to mature.Vanpersie is proof
of that and the list can go on, Now this new signing from Asia, lets talk about now, he can't help us this season.
@ larryking listen jock wenger could never coach anyother club because no big club would go six season without a trophy there is no way wenger could go to madrid and go two season without a trophy no way in hell he would be fired in no time bmunich fired klinsman less than half season look at the real madrid coach grave yard pelligrinie made 95 + points last season that amount would win the league in almost any country yet he got fired i can go on if fergi goes two seasons without a trophy am sure he gone i love arsenal but football is about winning trophies wenger has hypnotize you i do nt care arsenal have gone five years without a trophy and six witout the league not
even a carling cup or fa cup and loosing all our best
players all for money all this talk about wenger and his youth policies i can count on both hands all the
players that came through arsenal youth system that went on to be world beaters look at the current crop walcott nasri diaby denilson bedtner clichy
none of these are world class they have improve minimal @ arsenal compare that to barca their youths pedro and co are world beaters event the great vanpercy who we rate he would never leave arsenal because all that chance wenger gives him he would» t get at other big clubs this does not make sense we buy young
players they take ages to develop most do nt» t then we sell them or they leave because they want to win things that how you grow pretty soon that top four will become very hard to stay in if we get out
of that then what i wish all you wenger fans luck am all out
of patients with him last chance this year................
firefight is awesome fun with the only real setback being that its friends only i'd really
of liked it to be open to everyone but i'm lucky to have friends to play with and if
none of them are about i have the classic halo 3 multi
player plus every dlc map to play on against one
of the largest communities
of players thats still going strong
even after 3 years as one
of the most played games online i really honestly do nt understand all the negativity?????? this game is awesome on every level
None of the main
players — Cruise, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Kenneth Branagh — falter, and during pivotal scenes
of triumph, or
even more powerful, desolate resignation, these men exhibit the exact emotions called upon for their rank and status.
Undefeated is easy to watch and invest in,
even as you question whether the time and enthusiasm on display wouldn't be better spent on education and reversing the trends that see almost every
player indicate having a relative in jail and almost
none of them identifying themselves as the product
of two college graduates.
Even so, there's no getting past the fact that Hyundai is a brand that also sells economy cars like the $ 15,000 Accent — and
none of the other

And although this week's test truck didn't have cruise control, electric windows, a sunroof, CD

none of that affected the Ranger's basic roadworthiness.
Sakurai had this nightmare scenario

none of those moves were

Early in Inquisition it feels like the game is building toward something similar with the
player being able to fulfill requisitions and
even upgrade the Skyhold to a small degree, but ultimately
none of it actually does anything, leaving me to wonder why I
even bothered.
You not only have tons
