It is therefore quite significant that a recent article by Bultmann seems to be by implication a defence of Ksemarm's position against an initial criticism by the Barthian Hermann Diem: Diem had maintained that when all is said and done Käsemann has presented Jesus as only proclaiming «general religious and moral truths» about «the freedom of the children of God», rather than a message in continuity with the Church's kerygma.

In a 34 - page defence filed in the Federal Court in Melbourne on Monday, lawyers for Coles rejected key claims by the ACCC, which launched legal action in May, alleging that Coles used unfair tactics and misleading information to force about 200 suppliers to pay additional and ongoing rebates to participate in the program known as Active Retail Collaboration.

One of the attributes which is so important to his game that no one talks about is that he's unbelievably good at winning headers, which takes pressure off the defence as much as everything else he does.

There is much talk about Mustafi being thrown straight in, but I believe that Holding has impressed Wenger enough to start as Koscielny's partner in the centre of defence.

all top clubs have excellent back ups but wenger wont do anything about that as he didn't with the CDM position or the defence until the season was lost.its the way he is.

And while the centre of defence is not a position that has been talked about much as one of the priorities for the transfer window, I feel that being drawn against Barcelona should change that.

And above all, we STILL have done NOTHING about our awful defence, lack of any DM and kept the fast regressing Cech as first choice keeper.

I still don't see how he is a super sub.He's labelled as a super sub just because of this season.Those matches when he scored he was supposed to be played because we needed an aerial presence.A lot of those matches had he started we could've won because we needed aerial presence.But the thing is that his abilities don't suit him as a super sub.I mean he holds up the ball well and is great in the air and that's just about it.He's actually the one one who needs service and who needs players around him to open up defences for him to receive the pass and not vice versa.Super subs actually provide they are not the one's to be provided for.In Giroud's case he was supposed to start in those in matches as Sanchez was not up to the task in aerial battles.Giroud will not be able to affect a match if the opponents are as good in the air.

I might be thinking outside the box but how about playing Bellerin as a DM, he has got the speed to get back and help out our defence.

It's been an up - and - down season thus far for the Merseyside giants, as they've had plenty to be excited about with their attacking stars causing mayhem for opposition defences.

No player In our defence, if wenger can parade this team as our team against stoke, that means he knows nothing about football anymore.

but more importantly it should tell you that wenger no longer has a grasp on the strengths and weaknesses of his team, or, indeed, what kind of football he is trying to play... heard a lot of people waffling on about the end of tika tak... we never got there because too many first team players lack the skills to do that kind of football... ramsey walcott giroud merteshaker coquelin are not that kind of player... nor do we rapidly convert defence in to attack as we used to or press teams in their own half..

Make no mistake about it, the 25 - year - old has replaced Mertesacker as Koscielny's partner in central defence and it will certainly be good news for Wenger to have his first - choice pair fit and available.

The Mail's report also suggests Chelsea are already beginning to think about replacing Luiz as Conte himself is also in the market for new additions in defence this winter.

Cech effect in not just about making some saves each match its about calming the defence Me as a spectator have great confidence when the ball comes toward our goal and this must be the feeling of the defence

lst season at stamford bridge, was the first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and well all know the outcome.the manager has come back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are playing a slow dm in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality teams with sound tactics.wen playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTas a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.

People will then be excited about the beginning of the following season thinking we going to pick up from where we left off, then on the 3rd game we will realise that nothing has changed.We will still have Wenger as our manager, mediocre players, shambolic defence, a striker that scores 1 of the 5 chances he gets, no DM, BFG as vice captain, Arteta leading the team as our DM, Sczerny in goal and a medical room filled with half our squad.

Verm out and Chambers in, replacement was made, I would call it a was a signing which strengthened the defence as Verm has injury issues while Chambers has been fit, is that not a stronger situation than having Verm instead and him being injury prone to a high level (Barca are moaning about it!).

22 attempts and 8 on target... Oh please, please someone enlighten me as to why we do nt need another CF and how Giroud is a good one when he got bullied by a 16 year old debutant who forced him to go out wide as a lone striker, That defence too my god people were talking about how Koscielny and Metersacker were the best pairing at Cb no were not... and today proved why there were a few times metersacker overcommited when payet was dribblng left a gaping hole in that defence and if westhams strikers were on the ball this would have been a much larger margin.

Well written, but I think it will fall on deaf ears, my fear is as follows, it will take a loss in money for the manager and board to change, this will only come if we finish out of the top 4, but knowing the board they would still give home a season to try again, I feel very sorry for Sanchez, he is total quality and deserves better, most of the other players look settled, turn up give70 % and get paid, no matter what level you play at you should come off the pitch thinking I gave everything, how many of our players could say that, they lack motivation, player for player we are as good if not better than athletico Madrid but they have a manger that gets 100 % out of every player, Klopp is the same, but why would they leave their clubs to come here with a boar that cares about money not entertainment, Wenger was a lucky manager he inherited a top defence now his luck has run out

I'm quite indifferent about the Aubameyang's deal tho... He is a world class poacher, a poacher needs lots of supply and quite a porous defence (as it is in most German teams) to flourish.

I really hope that Arsene Wenger's comments the other day about how hard it was to find good quality players available in the January transfer window, at the same time as praising the Arsenal left back Nacho Monreal on his ability to cover at the centre of defence does not mean that us fans are in for more frustration in the transfer market.

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 central defender who is only just 30 you will probably get 4/5 seasons so 25 million is about right.But until someone organises the defence it will make no difference

He is not all about defence, as the Arsenal boss is reported explaining by The Mirror, but that energy and work rate is a big part of his game.

The defence we have should be the best in the league, it's just that Wenger doesn't care about defence which is odd because as a player he was a defender.

As the January transfer window looms closer, I really hope Wenger can finally stop complaining about his scarcity of defensive options and about how his defence was not solid enough and finally do something about it.

UTD could have lost 6 - 3 to us if it wasn't for DDG, we didn't moan about our def as much when we had Seaman or Man Jens in goal, those GKs knew their job and commanded the defence.

It would seem as though Mourinho feels strongly about this topic, and while he remains defiant in his defence of Pogba, he will hope that his faith and belief is rewarded with more consistent and dominant performances from the big - money signing.

As long as we have still got Gooners yapping about, «Awww, I feel so so sorry for OZIL because he is being asked to play in the wing and has to track back, Ozil shouldn't be asked to help out in defence, he is an attacker and the best # 10 in the world so he should be left to just float around in the final 3rd.»As long as we have still got Gooners yapping about, «Awww, I feel so so sorry for OZIL because he is being asked to play in the wing and has to track back, Ozil shouldn't be asked to help out in defence, he is an attacker and the best # 10 in the world so he should be left to just float around in the final 3rd.»as we have still got Gooners yapping about, «Awww, I feel so so sorry for OZIL because he is being asked to play in the wing and has to track back, Ozil shouldn't be asked to help out in defence, he is an attacker and the best # 10 in the world so he should be left to just float around in the final 3rd.»..

Mate move on... Walcott had a couple of decent crosses all game rest of time just a waste of a player... What makes me laugh is the talk of defences fearing his pace... They don't as he doesn't actually pose a goal threat which is what defenders really worry about....

An owner who is more invisible than the Loch Ness Monster and about as interested in winning, a manager who disrespects and ignores the whole concept of defence (oh for GEORGE GRAHAM) and a chairman who openly admits to preferring horse racing and a chief exec (Gazidis) who is a snake and inveterate liar.

The comment about the «balance between attack and defence» gives me the idea that Walcott will NOT be on the teamsheet as he is not renowned for his defensive abilities, and he is hardly match - sharp at the moment.

Would love to see a DM and CB as well, but I am far from unhappy about this transfer window, hope the defence stays injury - free until january, then Arsenal can do good things.

And he launched into a slightly puzzling metaphor about being undressed — as his defence certainly was at times by Brighton's swift counter-attacks — which seemed to mean «Don't kick a man when he is down.»

If i was manager of arsenal first thing I would do is make steve would take care of defending (if you remember he did and arsenal improved so much but he got credit and then rumours about wenger stopping him from coaching popped up and he became a quiet yes man and our defence fell apart as usual, I'm sure you guys remember this) The next thing I would do is make alexis captain and promise him ambition.

Instead of fixating on replacing Giroud to get maybe 4 - 6 extra goals a season (and contrary to accepted popular belief there are very few if any supporters who would be upset if an upgrade came in) why can't we a bit more imaginative about this; conceding 10 less goals could have won us the title just as easily, further refining our balance between defence and attack, building on the cohesion and fledgling confidence we have built - up may, just may, bring bigger benefits than ripping the spine of the team out and starting again.

Like yesterday was as low as it gets for me as fan I didn't even care when Liverpool got 3 rd and fourth goals because we're dead our pride as fans is same as players we're just dead hurt, sad, weak and spineless then it gets better ox is going Chelsea today and now timers sanchez has put in transfer request haha when board said change they meant it change as in we're selling all players and we're going like Aston Villa laugh u mite we are rotten from top to da bottom and it will get better cause I bet by Thursday we will bring in nobody and promote young kids we mite chance van diik he's going for 60 million and by Thursday night sky sports will report arsenal came in with last min bid of 21 million for van diik it got flat out laughed at so at 1 min to 11 we came in again with bid of 27 million and add ons til 2029 its hard and it is only beginning haha ox starts at anfield and was shambles and he is sold today says a lot about wenger if that was me I'd say stay away till ur sold u little traitor thanks ox hope its worth it, loyalty me behind ahwell we still bellerin another little man and heart holding for Barca ahhhh I'm so mad we need Simeon's cum in and start bouncing heads off da canvas Jesus bring bk George graham at least we have defence??

Everyones talking about man us depleted and weak defence, what about ours per and nonreal as cbs, oh sh*te!!

Our defence is doing fine now, as a team we are defending well but there will be patchy spells to come make no mistake about it and thats when someone like Cech helps win you a title.

Wilson went on an epic rant about the 49 - year - old, slamming Morgan as not a «proper» fan of the club, and leaping to the defence of the under - fire Gunners boss following Wednesday night's Champions League defeat to Monaco.

Giroud spoke about the fantastic and numerous attacking options as well and also suggested that as long as the defence does it's job then our forwards will win us the game.

not only is our defence crumbling (literally, standard Gibbs injury to add to the pile up), but we're about as good going forward as Stoke.

So Arsenal shd hv about # 95m balance; and shd further sign another CB such as Dijk or Koulibaly or Manolas to strengthen the defence as old Koscielny 31 always has back injury problems...; and possibly sign M.Dembele # 30m too.

Just watched Stoke v Chelsea now there is a defence that is strong and quick Shorcross would fit in well for Metisaker and there is a player has to be the smallest in the game, stocky and skillfull, as I said before there is very good players out there fit strong and clever, it's about time we looked out side the box.

If he spent half as much time trying to put our joke defence right as he does pontificating about other clubs business we might not be in the defensive plight we are in.

Question marks will be raised about the Russian defence, as ultimately they should of done better in denying him a shot at goal.
