Coquelin's defending is excellent.In fact i've watched many DM's Arsenal have been linked and he's better than some of them defensive wise.How many top DM's will keep the likes of Silva, Coutinho and Modric (12/13) quiet throughout a match?It takes top defending to do that.His biggest problem is that he's not adventurous and doesn't hold the ball with authority.It's just that I feel he's not given the appreciation he deserves.He's a good squad player to have and when on form can do well against top teams.

That said, Schneiderlin would be a massive improvement on our team... to think about a midfield trio of Ozil, Schneiderlin and Le Coq would excite any manager with ambition.

Having not watched much college football at all last season, I had no idea which was the better team, nor which had the better secondary, so I just flipped a coin and it came up for Ball State.

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

Sanchez was the most selfish player at Arsenal like Ronaldo at Madrid and he was trying too much to impress and keep loosing a ball all the time — pretty much was about himself i would prefer our team play like our last game when we won 4 - 1 but with better players Aub, MKHi, Laca, Ozil and wilshire go Arsenal — trust me arsenal will be pleasing to watch an eye again

Laca has a beard - so does Giroud.Other than the fact they are both French there is no comparison.Give this kid (yeah I know he's 26 but that's still young at my age) the service and he will be a top top player.Look at his movement and see how frustrated he gets as the ball continually goes from side to side and backwards.I see a lot of Ian Wright in this boy but even Wrighty would struggle with the way we are set up and play.When Sánchez is gone he will become our main man and just watch the difference.Remember those days when the football was slick and fast?Remember when we had pace all through the team and had players who knew how to use it?When we change manager a bring in a coach who gets the best from players by playing to their strength you will see a totally different Lacazette and Arsenal

what more arsenal.its a total waste with all that ball possession, if you watch most of these premier leauge goals scored by other teams, they are outside shots, or shots parried by the keeper etc, when a shot is taken, it creates tension, which could lead to a penalty etc, but at arsenal, its a different case... thats why we do all the ball possession and pressing, then when teams like watford get one or two chances..

my preferred choice would be lacazette because of his age and and on top of his goals & he has a good few assists, i watched lukaku yesterday and the guy is no team player i understand that to be a good striker you have to be a bit selfish & self confident to a certain degree but he took it to far you could see de bruyne wasn, t happy with lukaku and when he had the chance to give lukaku the ball he didn, t and lastly he will be cheaper and might have a good chance to get him cos he wants to move to the pl but to a bigger team than west ham, spuds..!!

I was ten when watching the great Tottenham side of 1960 - 61 and new without doubt they were the best team I'd ever seen, (apart from the great Real Madrid of 1960 -RCB- the way they slid the ball around keeping on the floor and didn't need a grown up to tell me, They were skating the league that year like Manchester City are now and I can still remember sitting on the corner of a crash barrier at the back of the North Bank (It's the only way I could see) when they beat 3 - 2 at Highbury on a hot September day.

i dot even like watching us play anymore bfg and flamini cant be on at same time when other teams see them on the team sheet they know if they counter us well enough they can do us over and famini trying to play rugby and kicking the ball for trys every attempt on goal its frustrating to watch and that bfg now omg a ever so slight breeze can get a ball around him if giroud came one on one with mert he would have a field day the only way im playing him is if we park the bus with 5 at the back

Yes we have improved we have become more aware we have started to show some maturity when facing the top dogs and that's the difference between us this season and us getting SMASHED by all of the top teams last season and if you watch football you can see that the city side are not a patch on their former selves nor Liverpool nor even chelski, we are NOT another 49 unbeaten squad not yet and not for a while until the improvements are made, Yea credit where its due of course but lets NOT RUN AWAY WITH THE IDEA WE ARE WORLD BEATERS JUST YET EH, AKB's are the reason we'll never improve as a fan base because they can see NO wrong in anything the board or AW does, Im no AOB but I do see the need for self criticism and improvement and at BIGGUN its not a ridiculous statement at all we have improved but they have also been off the ball and that why we're having a good run.

Valladolid are the kind of team people like me love to watch — they're spunky, move the ball around well, use the pitch well, and have a tough time defending on occasion.

Well im not in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the time although were terrible in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads in the first 60 minutes like we have for the most part and in those games those games should of been killed even if we give a goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality in front goal a player the chances have been there im looking at the failure of the strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many goals recently as our strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one in th first 60 mins of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this season not the tactics but the finishing

If you watch Guardiola's teams you would realise that their greatest strength is not passing but how they quickly close down the opposition when without the ball — marking.

Wilshere needs another manager to improve... I have a lot of time for him but he stands around too much waiting for ball whereas before he used to hunt for the ball... but whatever happens we are 6 players short of a quality team... years of penny pinching and over indulging crap players by a clueless manager who is a legend in his own mind... people go on about guardiolas spending in the summer but the team we are now watching play the best football in epl history only has 2 new additions from last year Emerson and walker... I guess mendy would start if fit... we have 2 new players too but we are further behind than ever!!

Watched an interview with Guardiola and he stressed the importance of defending WITH the ball, saying the real danger with possession teams comes when they have the ball.

I'd like to thank @CoachSchottyUGA @CoachJim4UM & @CoachJeddFisch for coming out to watch the team play ball!

Imagine a SWAT guy saying to his mate «cover me» [watch my back] while he attempts to go on rampage only to find that team mate flying ahead of him, we blame Ozil, we blame Wilshere, some of us even blame the Ox for losing the ball that led to the third goal, well he was taking initiative like an attacker should and he lost the ball, are our defender paid to primarily attack?

case 2 jurgen klopp he was always up on the touchline animated (he is a joy to watch just on his own without the team) talking to his players and encouraging them to keep chasing the ball down, and counter attack and he wasn't scared to make changes to the shape or tactics through out the game to gain advantage, where he could clued up manager (what wenger was once upon a time) he is the future of football management, take your bow klopp you earned it last night can only hope when the time comes we can convince to take us to the future of modern football.

Chile played position fotball had more position of the ball they were on target 18 times versus 8 times if we ever change manager i personaly would want Jorge Luis Sampaoli Moya I watched the whole tornament knowing Chile would win messi is only butter you go near him he tumbles on the floor the only match he played well was aganist paragway and then paragway lost aganist Peru The way Moya had the team defending was nice to see team spirits was high the hunger to make history was evident well done Chile

this article typifies everything that is wrong with our club... if you had any balls you would have started with that Mertz nonsense, but instead, like Wenger, you started out pretending to be a rational individual only to reveal your true unintelligible in the final paragraph... I feel like you have never watched Mertz play except for in the FA Cup final last year... how does someone help defend corners, crosses and the like when you can't man - mark, you have a negative vertical and you close your eyes whenever the ball comes in your direction... this was a panic buy that didn't make sense then, considering how most teams were setup to counterattack us, and it makes even less sense now... he was well past his prime when he arrived, like Podolski, Arteta, Flamini 2.0 among numerous others, and was used by Wenger to trick the uninformed fans into believing he cared about turning this team into a true contender

The geriatric point guard missed four games in late November and early this month, and although the Knicks went 3 - 1, it was against weak competition and anyone watching those games saw the same thing: it wasn't the team that started the season white hot with terrific ball movement and lights - out shooting.

It's still a basic part of enjoying baseball, watching the players on your team hit a ball where the fielders can't catch it.

Watching the game last night was really frustrating when they took giroud off and we were crossing the ball in to no one walking did nt even look like he was bothered or even on the pitch u can't cross a ball to a player like walcott or even play him as a single striker he just ai nt good enough i really liked walcott but i honestly cant see him as a striker for arsenal, he's better on the wing, my opinion we should get dm and spend whatever money is left on a bloody striker and not a shit 1, someone when a opposing team looks on the team sheet and thinks ah he's gonna give us some shit today

mahrez better than Lemar I doubt you're a football fan, watched lemar and he only crosses the ball well may you watched a porn.Lemar was the key man for the most attacking team in Europe last season, check the stats
