It's unclear exactly
what Trump's plans will be as he forms his trade and economic
teams in the coming months, but his
positions on China and other trade deals offer some clues for
what we should expect under his presidency.
Cousins has been the Redskins» starting quarterback for the past three seasons — the most consistency that Washington has had at the
position since Joe Thiesman
in the 1980's — and yet, the
team still doesn't know
what they're going to do with Cousins beyond 2017.
While no one can predict
what the future holds, we've gathered three of our investment
team leaders for a roundtable discussion on developments they see likely to influence the global markets
in the back half of the year, and their strategies to
position for whatever comes next.
And from
what i hear, Chelsea are gonna guarantee him first
team football for some games so i wouldn't really blame him for considering, The fault i with Arsenal, we shouldn't have let all these players contracts run down coz now the Club is
in an impossible
position of either selling the players now or risk losing them for free next season and possibly to rival clubs.
I would love to take Giroud out of the equation last season, remove his goals last season to show ignorant people
what league
position we would have finished
in, a league
position which makes all those fantasy players a pipe dream because they only move to
teams in the Champions League.
poor signings and allowing unnecessary sellings of players not based on
team needs When Cr7 is not scoring and marcelo and casemiro become strikers over their main roles
in the
team... Players play
what coaches tell them especially
positioning and movements... Hard days are ahead with PSG looming..
No matter
what team we fielded today, I think Chelsea would have had the upper hand regardless because as many have said, they have a player that specializes
in each preferred
position, where as Arsenal have many players that can play all over the pitch, but don't really have much impact.
Look at the heat maps for our 3 behind the front man
in any given game and it is often difficult to tell
what position they were «assigned» on the
team / formation sheet.
What I'm saying is including this attribute
in any player we consider adding to the
team in positions needed.
What I did was apply the theory that each
position in the
team should have atleast 2 players (1st and 2nd choice) available to fill them.
If we start this season with those two
in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one of these players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this
team for a number of years... this is
what I call the «no man's land» of the soccer world, where
teams don't have enough talented young players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management
team becomes little more than a stagnant group of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead of developing a
team with the qualities necessary to excel
in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless of
what would make positional sense... have you ever heard of a
team who plays players out of
position so often... of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a
team of any consequence ever again
The thing is, the rules required the FIA to tell
teams the camera
positions for this year by 30 June
in 2017, which means we're stuck with
what we have for the rest of the year.
Anyway
position is not
what people are moaning about, you say we can't compete with City financially but we're not trying, we we're the only
team in the top five leagues
in Europe last year to make a profit
in the transfer window, he's tactical decision can not be understood by anyone, some of the
teams and systems he picks are laughable, square pegs
in round holes no success
in 12 years apart from FA cups, a competition that carries no weight anymore.
What amazed me is that after Özil goal our
team collectively relaxed on the defensive end and was happy to sat so deep as if we were
in the late stage of the game... we should have better mixed up our game plan sitting deep to defend
in a more compact way is good but when you have the ball you must take good care of it and find teammates
in good
positions quickly... both Cazorla and Ramsey were poor and I do feel that they both should've been subbed of early for Rosicky and Walcott!
Ramsey is not been played
in his preferred
position and ut shows but the boy leaves everything on the pitch everytime... he takes one too many touches atimes, and he has not been at his best this season yet but
what he gives our
team a different option going forward andx gives our opponents something else to worry about....
We have made progress, and
what I get by progress is not bettering our
position but the positivity to beat big
teams, which I can surely say will be reflected
in coming season.
On evidence so far this
team still needs at least 2 defenders, i think Mert will soon be feeling the affects of last season too,
in this season and if we not getting a DM, Callum Chambers should be moved to that
position allowing us to become more mobile (from
what i have seen of him
in defense i think he would even be more impressive
in DM).
You may be right about bringing another
in, not necessarily to first
team but an experienced player coming off the bench is less likely to make silly errors than a youngster learning
what is a very disciplined
position.
Typically an aggressively pressing
team will press even a player that is
in a good
position to release the ball, so the tackle will «fail», even though it often forces the opponent to stop
what was a potentially promising run, or forces them to pass
in a different direction than they had hoped to go.
It gives you an idea of who your
team might be interested
in and
what positions your
team might go after.
Mbappe wouldn't have seen any playing time and we don't know
what Wenger offered him, whether it was a place
in the academy, or a first
team position.
If we were to suddenly shift from trying to develop youth players to assembling world class players
in every
position I'm sure we'd lose some fans but the majority would remain because regardless of
what management, philosophies or transfer budget we have fans only know how to support the
team when the whistle is blown.
Why does Arsenal have to be the
team that gets caught
in the bad
position and lose players to injury for 2 weeks extended to 6 months and why opponents get away with cheats, bad refereeing decisions along with surviving near leg breaks like Matic but Arsenal make one wrong step everyone else jumps to pull the leg and get
what they want.
walcott campbell ox are average players at best and ramsey is out of
position there and less than average as a winger... mahrez would be a big step up and i doubt we would have to pay 45... anyway selling two of those would rake most of it back... to be honest i would be happy (and shocked) with mahrez and icardi though still prefer the draxler option... having watched
what guardiola has done with man city reserve
team against bayern reserves yday wenger would be crazier than i thought if he believes he has a squad to compete

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'

Mertz should never have been our captain
in the first place... who has ever heard of a
team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership
positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger...
what is wrong with the players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is
what happens when you don't get world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating
in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played
in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar
positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role
in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest
in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!
Hamann may be
in the right
position to talk about making positive contributions
in a big
team, as he won several trophies while at Liverpool but indirectly calling Ozil an half a season player is not
what professional courtesy is about.
Besides several
teams who have questions surrounding one or possibly two players, there is no squad that has so many issues heading into the final week of the transfer window... even Monaco, who have lost numerous players from their starting 11 have less controversy swirling
in and around their club and they have champion's league play to contend with this season... just think of how ridiculous this situation is especially considering that we have had the same manager for over 20 years... no
team should be better organized than ours... if nothing else, that should be the one advantage this
team holds over all others, yet the exact opposite has occurred... this fact is even more disturbing considering the main argument against removing Wenger from his managerial
position was that there was no suitable replacement and that people feared some sort of perceived drop - off if a new manager was brought into the mix... based on
what we've witnessed since the time of his contract renewal a monkey with a magic eight ball could have done an adequate job... I hate to make jokes,
in light of our current dilemma, but this
team is so screwed up if I don't laugh about it, the only plausible response is to either cry or do something incredibly destructive... just look around this squad and try to see
what our delusional manager sees that allow him to make such positive statements about our current
team
Someone must to tell him the truth, wearing number 14 is to heavy for him and getting paid 140k / week is to much for him, how you could call him intelligent if he doesn't know himself
what his best
position in the
team?
What Wenger said about Ramsey: I just consider the next game and try to find the balance with the players to be
in a
position where they can give their best for the
team.
I would like to tell arsenal fan that the transfer window is not arsenal's problem.Let explain
what is in my mind.We need to reinforce our team but we need to think in the future that most of the high class players are going to refuse signing for arsenal fc because of Mr Wenger's philosophy.It looks like arsenal becomes cemetery of players.How many players came in and left because of performance, became good players out of arsenal.We need to accept all of the transformation Mr wenger brings in arsenal but now it does not work.Why??? because lack of tactics, strategies and pretending best players for Mr wenger mind but in reality those players do not get standard of best player.Mr wenger wants to prove everybody that he is wright that players who are calling by wenger are best.I means Mr wenger is the only one can see all matter in good position or bad.He is wrong by thinking this way.He does not like criticism.he is the mind of arsenal.Everything he can say or defend is wright.Think about morrinho comments about arsenal!!!! Why he likes to be arsenal coach!!!!

Sanchez (LW) Campbell —
What Wenger is probably going to go for Gibbs (LW) Sanchez (RW)-- This got us the goal against Spurs and balances the
team well... Campbell (LW) Sanchez (RW)-- This could work but I really don't see it happening Sanchez (LW) Ozil (RW)-- This allows Cazorla to be
in a more goal scoring
position as CAM.
off Topic (as this topic is of no importance
in this grieving moment)...... Ok, the BFG or
what ever u call him, have just proven his irrelevance to this
team (wasted heights, useless
in duels), misfiring carzola was let 2 continue, ramsey wasnt himself yet was forced 2 play, monreal will never be a dream CB, 80th minute subs as usual (then players are played outta
position), Wenger Loves his coat and zippers more than the
team, who's next?
Arsenal the best form

Maybe thats just
what we need... wenger wil not pick out ramsey for the first
team, so, sell ozil, put ramsey
in acm
position and watch if he can reproduces his gales form... then we can buy sery, goretzka or another great cm (i do nt think rakitic would be the answer, overreated player).
Speaking n the Express, the famous Gunner was asked
what positions Wenger needs to buy
in and he said: «Straight down the spine of the
team.»
Win or lose today, we are deluding ourselves if we think that Wenger and the board even want to win the league.To me it is clear that Wenger is still employed by the board because he is brilliant at calculating
what he needs to do to keep the
team in one of the top four
positions that he holds so dear.
As for 3 tight ends being taken
in round 1, we all have seen that all it takes is one
team to take a player at
what appears to us as early to kick off a run at a
position.
so
in the space of six months bayern have managed to secure the services of both xabi alonso and sami khedira, two players who are arguably considered wc and play
in the central midfield
position and would offer greater height, physicality and distribution to our
team, for
what I can only assume is a combined fee lower than 20m considering alonso was bought for 8m.
What that teaches us is this, one bad signing can destroy a
team season, Xhaka possesses none of the credential Arsenal need his lack of stamina effects his ability to move up the pitch and distribute the ball and hence close the opposition down, his poor acceleration put him
in at a massive disadvantage
in taking on the one on one chase back toward his goal, his sluggish tackling causes him to get sent off and his poor
positioning allow the opposition plenty of space to exploit, Xhaka overall style of play is going to cause Arsenal huge problems for the foreseeable future.
I agree, tactically Wenger is inept, only injuries make him change something, and ofcourse when Ramsey is not injured he is always
in the
team sheet no matter
what position he plays
It's obvious for me that arsenal need 4 players to become a world class
team like bayern and real madrid i couldn't dare mention barcelona because they have unbelievable front three and they maybe the best attack
in history of football we are lacking quality
in the ST as well as the RW of course giroud and campvell are very good players but
in my opinion they are less
in quality than the rest of the
team so we need to improve the quality
in these positins About the DM it's a number issue and i think the
position is covered with flamini doing good job and elneny coming which can be deployed there About the fourth signing we need is a center back I don't think i saw till now enough minutes for gabriel to tell if he can make the
position his own or not But
what makes me doubt him that wenger didn't choose him till now over per which means he is not miles ahead of him so i think we need a new better CB This
team can go and fight for every thing even the champions leafue....
I must admit Wenger was right, when he played Ramsey on the wing, all of us were complaining that he played Ramsey out of
position, well we must to admit we were wrong, that was the only place Ramsey could play without damaging the
team and knowing Wenger he wanted to punish us by playing Ramsey were all of us was dreaming to see Ramsey
in the middle is Wenger «s way to say to us he knows
what he is doing and let us see who is the boss.
We don't have anyone
in the
team no matter
what position they're employed
in actually doing the job that's commensurate with their
positions.
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
As a matter of fact no one knows which
team will finish
in what position at the end of the season.
We lost the balance of the
team I could clearly see it there was something un clear to our players on the field the left wing was weak wellbeck lost
position far too many times belerin was not up to scratch maybe it should have been gabrial instead of matasacker carzola tried to spray ball into left flank that went begging but also the midfield was weak perhaps there should have been 5 but the number wasn't the real problem we didn't do
what the tots did to us all
in all hope this was a good dress rehearsal for the champion league but the defence has to be more accurate to protect the goal keeper keans goals are not acceptable
What's surprising is Max being allowed to be put
in the
position he was allowed to be
in, by his own
team amd promotion.
