I find it really difficult to defend
arsenal against other teams nowadays.
Not exact matches
United are sixth in the table and a positive result
against third - placed
Arsenal would naturally put pressure on the
other teams above the Reds, with Tottenham Hotspur (West Ham away), Manchester City (Crystal Palace away) and leaders Liverpool (Southampton away) all in action later in the day.
Arsenal always plays well if there is no heavy pressure from their opponent, unlike the previous matches
against the
other big
teams.
On every
other occasion it was our laid back approach
against mostly smaller
teams that cost us points, where we take the results or points for granted just because opponent is considered smaller than
Arsenal.
Arsenal is a very difficult
team to defend
against because of the options that we have, starting or coming of the bench, it keeps
other teams guessing... as per the Theo or Welbeck discussion, having them both is a good thing for us.
ahahah,
Arsenal has turned into second rate
team who relys on defense to win
against other second rate
teams.
Heurelho Gomes has conceded 23 goals in eight Premier League games
against Arsenal, nine more than any
other team he has faced.
Arsenal dose not like to spend crazy money and I don't think that is the reason why they haven't won the premier league, it is more because of Arsene Wenger's rigid style (until recently) that
other teams are used to and can easily defend
against.
They both love
arsenal, they up the tempo when we are losing and they have the nerves to score
against any
team unlike ozil Since we lost fabregas, no one plays the ball over the top for us frequently, then we lost rosicky that drives through the middle, then we lost super Wilshere that drives through the middle and plays the ball over the top to injury and ref mismanagement, since then we've been playing the safe pass to the wing to cross like
other EPL
teams.
but its a bit sad to see that i as i know more about
arsenal fans than
other fans, to say from the bottom of my heart, that the fans on here are as worse as the worst if not the worst fans out there...
arsenal being on a run, with özil scoring one of the best goals i have ever seen on tuesday, draws
against the best defensive side in the league and no they arent stoke city or something they are SPURS equally title challenger as any of
arsenal man city, man united, chelsea, liverpool, a
team that sent man city home when they (city) looked unbeatable..
Daily Fantasy Football game Oulala.com have taken a look at
Arsenal's record
against the
other «big six» Premier League
teams when Ozil has featured in the side since he joined in 2013, as well as his individual contribution too.
Pathetic how the
other teams get these gifts time and time again, but they always turn up
against Arsenal...
we still have 35 more games to go and obviously
other teams will definately drop points and
Arsenal needs to make sure they win their big games
against the top
teams.
Yes, you can say I don't like ozil, but Wilshere is far better and he can do this
against any
team, you can't keep
arsenal from not scoring when Wilshere is this sharp, we would be breathtaking with Wilshere, ramsey, lacazette and any
other attackers (ozil & sanchez) in the
team..............
The
other sad thing is that in the quarter finals
teams like Atletico and normally PSG are turned into the
Arsenal's of that round in terms of the draws they get
against big
teams.
Italy and Sweden are the
other two
teams that make up the group and the Three Lions will be hoping to get off to the perfect start with a win
against their Portuguese counterparts, that boast reported
Arsenal target William Carvalho [via Mirror Sport] in their ranks.
The large number of draws
against mediocre
teams means nothing
other than that
Arsenal have been very mediocre themselves this season.
The real test comes when
Arsenal has to face
other big
teams in their turfs and when we play
against strong target men like Andy Carroll, Lukaku and Ibrahimovic.
Now the 4 -4-2 or the similar 4 -2-3-1 would work nicely for
arsenal dependent on the opponent and the players use, i would love to see a welbeck and Sanogo in the first formation
against teams like chelsea, stoke, mancity, liverpool these
teams do not like playing
against two strikers
against the
other teams i would use the latter formaition, in both formation we need to holding MF, preferable a quick physical presence is needed for one while the
other is more creative
Of course there is also the small matter of Arsene Wenger's contract to be resolved, but if Le Prof does re-sign for another two years he will have to make massive changes to the squad one way or the
other, and this would seem to go
against his usual philosophy of continuity, stability and cohesion, which has seen him keeping his
team together and extending contracts of players that have come through the
Arsenal youth system.
Merson Wright Robson or anyone who has an axe to grind with
Arsenal is at it I don't give a shit what they think I support th club and
team in general if they play shit we have had more success then most
teams Thy seem to Laud spuds but the fukers win nothing they won 2 trophies in 30 yeas but I don't see the media
others pulling them up on it like we had when we didn't win anything for 10 years There is definitely an agenda in the media
against Arsenal and its sadly spearheaded by ex
Arsenal players So I say when they ubfairly attack the club and our existing players they are fair game for retribution from the real fans who lives be the club and will support it through thick and thin.
If
Arsenal win this FA Cup match
against Lincoln today, the win will not ease any pain the Gooners were allegedly have went through when
Arsenal lost to Bayern Munich last Tuesday night at the Ems because there wasn't any pain the Gooners have suffered in the first place when
Arsenal lost the match by a 1 - 5 away win for Bayern Munich which in my own observation was a rigged result for Bayern Munich by the match referee, his linesman and the
other referee official who was behind the goal post, a match referee who earlier has denied
Arsenal a penalty of their own but later connived
against them to award a penalty to Bayern Munich and in the process sent off Koscielny to deliberately weaken
Arsenal team strength to frustrate them in the game.

Wenger is a great asset to
Arsenal, but as a manager with his flaws, it may be better to move him into an
other position at the club and get someone who knows how to prevent injuries wenger could but did nt — or with the tactical variety to prevent losses like at anfield and stamford bridge, or making the change of tactic when we just cant score
against teams like leicester.
He came out publicly and accused
other teams of trying to buy their way to success
against well known norms associated with such
team (
Arsenal).
We have another 36 games to play
against the
other teams to get enough points to win the League, and just consider for a cotton - pickin minute how many
other teams consider
ARSENAL to be THEIR bogey!
Chelsea have played more competitive fixtures
against Arsenal than
against any
other team: Sunday will be our 192nd meeting.
Next week to Chelsea game
Arsenal need to put Danny welbeck in the side against Chelsea which is where they fail to have exceptional pace that arsenal possess to fight the threat of hazard and Willian, other than that Fabregas will do whatever he can in his power to muster up a goal so therefore cazorla maybe sacrifices for Ramsey and Ozil which will bring a quick team t

Pessimistically speaking, We just can't beat the
others in the long run, they have more committed and success driven players and coaches (unlike wenger) Optimistically speaking, If
arsenal can keep up a good performance till January, let's say we beat all the small
teams and and draw
against other big
teams (plus one or two wins or losses), come January if cazorla comes back (and stays injury free) and wenger gets a winger then we could actually have a chance
Pls don't come here with excuses, we all saw you guys rejoice after we won
against Bayern so I don't want to hear «its just preseason» excuse,
Arsenal equally fixed in a strong squad, we had Sanchez, Koscielny, Bellerin & Mustafi out thus 4 of our starters & Chelsea had no Hazard & Matic thus two of their starters out, to me that's virtually equal
team strength... We all can sit & delude ourselves but deep down we all know that one way or the
other Arsenal with Arsene in charge will forever be a joke in the eyes of the elite European football
Thus far Chelsea, City and Liverpool and
Arsenal the
teams to be tipped to competing for the title have played at least 1 top 6
team and we are the only ones that haven't had a convincing performance
against the
other.
While
other EPL clubs play Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in pre-season in order to gauge themselves
against the very best, to see what needs to be added to their squad,
Arsenal plays Singapore 11, Lyon, Everton etc. to see where we are, this my friend serves two purposes, 1) Maybe our aspiration is no higher than Lyon, Everton and Singapore level and also to pull the wool over our eyes by dominating much lesser
teams to generate massive support for the status quo.
«That's what you're up
against when you are at a top
team like
Arsenal;
other teams lift their game
against you.
It is not
Arsenal's problem if her rivals don't win their games
against other teams.
Other than
Arsenal having won their last four games without conceding a goal, they are a frightening
team to face on any normal day, but Everton have got to not just overcome the Gunners, they also have to overcome a 20 year inferiority complex when it comes to away games
against Arsenal.
No
other team has lost
against a
team like olimpiaos, and no
other team besides
arsenal was beaten by Zagreb in the past 50 years.
It is not guaranteed that
Arsenal would be any bigger with
other managers especially as our board is always reluctant to spend money necessary to compete
against other top
teams.
Mr Fox, that shows how utterly stupid wenger has been sanchez should have gone in summer right at the beginning of the transfer window, that gives
arsenal enough time to get someone else in but stupid wenger keeping too much faith in certain players to the annoyance of
other players and on top of that wenger can only play one style of football and that has allowed
other teams to nullify our players and sanchez gave the ball away almost 30 times
against Southampton I believe that alone warrants you being benched under ferguson
Most
Arsenal fans are in a far better mood after last week's brilliant performance
against Man City and we now go to Brighton to face a Championship
team with a week's rest as well as the promise of Walcott, Ozil and
others starting the game.
We have seen this
Arsenal team play like world - beaters at certain times this season, like
against Manchester United and Bayern Munich at the Emirates and Olympiakos away, but then at
other times we have seen them lacking energy and desire like
against Swansea and Southampton.
However divided the opinion of Olivier Giroud is among
Arsenal fans, he has unquestionably added something to the side since his recovery last month; his two goals
against Newcastle showing that he boasts talents few
others in the
team can offer.
The newly promoted
team worked extremely hard and
Arsenal were unable to break them down, but they did not offer too much going the
other way, so when Man City took the lead
against Karanka's men just before half time at the Etihad stadium today, not too many folk would have expected anything but a home win.
I must admit I was stunned to see how few changes Wenger made to the
Arsenal team today, especially after he admitted the
other day that the players energy levels fell away in the second half
against Monaco.
I'm starting to believe there are some people here who have a crush on Xhaka want to brain wash
others with his display regardless good or bad and today he was clearly terrible and made two fatal mistakes and if compared to Elneny the later made the 1st goal assist and almost not one touch wrong on the ball despite the few back and side passes which were necessary
against a
team playing zone defense intimidating any
Arsenal player on the ball
It was not even that stressful to watch for
Arsenal fans, as all the big
teams were picked
against other group runners up, leaving Porto and Monaco with our name still to be drawn.
Arsenal ended the year in the Top Three as usual, but they are now very far behind the current leaders Chelsea and are unlikely to get much closer before the end of the season, and the reason for this is clear — The Gunners just can not win big games
against the
other five
teams in the top end of the table.
But the way that
Arsenal has been turning history on it's head
against other top
teams in 2015, I can see us ending another bad sequence at St Marys this evening....
Arsenal would win
against weaker
teams at home, but struggling on away and when
against other big
teams.
Arsenal are a successful club and will always be seriously last season was not that bad for the past 21 years we remind a the top four no club in England had achieved that 21 years on the trot I believe we needed a new look at ourselves and the reason why we have not won it we have not won the premier league in the past 12 years while clubs such Leicester have won it having said that we were the only
team to have won them home and away we seem to be a little short at every term in one stage opponents literally broke our players and some were very viciously broken every one ganged
against us and we crumbled to the pressure we need to assert our self by winning lower tear competitions and grow to be strong and fight it hard and give
other teams what we were giving Firstly we need to unite and create a fortress at the emirate stadium become the twelfth
team player once we get the fundamentals right I know and guarantee we will win it all we need to plant our feet in the ground we need unite become one strong unit
It's certainly the way to go forward
against the like of City, Spurs,
Arsenal, and Chelsea or
other top
teams in Europe, and even
teams such as Bournemouth, but
against defensively minded
teams, such as Manchester United, as we saw earlier this season, Liverpool's pressing creates few scoring chances, and instead on - ball intelligence is required, which Liverpool do not display enough.
