Alexis came with a good spirit, seing Ozil on board, thinking a team would be built around them but year after year, it is no top class addition with a guessing game plan, weakness all over the pitch, players out of position, a team scared to play and lost as manager...

obviously I would prefer to have a much more suitable alternative in the defensive midfielder positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots away in and around the top of the box with their most dominant feet... if goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for OX and bring Ramsey in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more of a 3 -1-5-1 with Ramsey playing higher up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud as a sub when the game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team with incredible link - up play and a much more direct approach in the offensive end

Two good games with lots of excitement, which is what we all watch football for at the end of the day, and two good results have helped with the growing confidence and good feeling around the team.

Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off

He's been match ready for two months or more and should be willing and able to prove he is a first team contender... instead each time he appears it's the jogging around plus the ocassional darting run on display again along with the demonstrated ability not to be able to dribble with the ball the failure to give real defensive support to full back and the persistent fragility in front of goal...

Just imagin a scenerio where campbel ws french and sanogo ws not french, lets nt beat around the bush n pretend we r blind to what wenger does, liverpool gave sterling a chanc man u the same to januzaj nw luk wher they r bt for wenger our youngsters has huge potential bt they rot on the bench take the example of Ox for hw many years hs he been in our team n we r seeing no improvmnt and the boy is good nowdays wenger hinders the progress of our youngstars n to be frank campbell is right to want to leav us coz i dnt thnk he wil play mo games than the beloved Sanogo nt because sanogo z better than him bt simply bcoz he z french!

Wenger blamed the 12 day gap between games as the reason for Arsenal's poor start against Liverpool a few weeks ago, then he claimed a lack of confidence for the start against Lincoln last week, but as most of our first team played last weekend and scored many goals in the second half then neither of those should apply this time around.

Off topic anyone notice how ozil was used on the left wing last season and the first part of this season and he was under performing fans and pundits were all saying how wenger should build the team around ozil since that was his best position and he cost us 42m well since his return he has only played either cam or right wing (he said in a interview that those were his fav positions since he played them at real) taking the place of an in form cazorla and it all seems to work I think wenger has done this all on purpose because if u look at ozils overall performance after his injury its much better than before, he tackles, wins the ball back and covers more distance than anyone else wenger does this often using players out of position for a while only to make their overall game better and mostly it works genius

In all fairness though we are five games in with the transfer window just over and we're already short of defensive minded players, it's great being positive but for a lot of fans whatever wenger does now it'll never be right, about two years ago for ever negative wenger comment there were five positive now that is the opposite.i'm a season ticket holder and I pay a small fortune watching us home and away, I was more than willing to give arsene time to turn it around, to build another team, but honestly I am sick of it, # 8million a year to hear the same of excuses.

It was his mistake at the Liverpool game recently, he created his own problem by switching around in a big game like that, at times it feel like he arrogantly underestimating Liverpool and I think his team selection would have surprise not only Klopp but almost everyone and until now it still puzzle me for a men that have 22 years of experience.
