If not, then no matter how
big a squad Arsenal have, we will always have periods when Wenger is having to shuffle the pack and use players out of position or rely on those not normally in the first team.
Not exact matches
Save if the present Gunners save themselves from going out of this season Ucl to Barcelona, the Boss and the
Arsenal Board MUST re focus their focus on revamping the
Arsenal squad with some additions of top quality players from where ever they can find them to replace the dead woods, the injury proners, the past it, the can't make it, the too average, the not Ucl quality, the 1 or 2 matches performance players, the low class ones, the uninteligent ones, the lazy ones but swallowing up vast wages of
Arsenal money, the cave - in
big games players and the boastful but lackluster players in
big games who are presently at
Arsenal now.
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.
As an
Arsenal fan I would love to see us get to the point where we have 2 WC players (1 «old» and 1 in prime) for every spot, 22 players who need to be registered and this allows an allowance of 3 players for the
squad, utility players /
big personality... Use kids to make a 3rd man for every spot, get them ready to step into the shoes of an older WC player.
As fans we have seen in previous seasons that

big.
So should we be happy that
Arsenal have not lost any ground to the
big spenders for a change and hope that our
squad proves to have the strength and quality that the Frenchman clearly believes?
not me mate, your making up you own arguements, which are flawed by the way.So if Coquelin were to leave where would he go?According to you theory obviously it will be to another Champions league team, so are you saying they won't have legitimate competition in the team?Competition breeds winners, we havent had this at
Arsenal in a long time and we still don't have it upfront and in dm, we sort of have it at CB with Gabriel, but until we correct this competition deficit in our
squad with at least arguably WC players then we won't win the
BIG trophies as usual
Thats just polite talk, many here think UNTD will be fighting for EPL, i think they will fight for top 4, you just can buy 5, 6 players and expect to win something, they will sell Di Maria, thats
big loss to them, and De Gea isnt safe either, cohesion of players is
big part esspecialy in midfield, they bought new mid, to work they will need time, and time in EPL means no title, Chelsea and
Arsenal have the
biggest chance to win it, City
squad is getting older and less motivated for EPL, and i think Pelegrini isnt on level of Wenger and Mourinho

That's the problem with
Arsenal they fear change and reality is every team every coach / manager embrace change even Alex Ferguson changed he adapted new methods got the best out of his
squad of players,
big question is does Wenger?
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at
Arsenal without looking at the
big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National
squad... unfortunately he ended up on a
squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at
Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

I know
Arsenal all too well and trust me we would've still lost.A lot of people think this
Arsenal squad isn't good enough to win the league but I beg to differ.Give this same
squad to Rafa Benitez or any world class manager even without any signing before the transfer window ends and watch us play like you've never seen before.The problem in this team has always been tactics, mentality and mismanagement.This is what has really been disturbing us for several seasons but alwas goes ignored.Mark my words that if
Arsenal get everyone they're supposed to we're not winning the league if those three things aren't checked.We need signings but our problem is much
bigger than signings.Give this same
squad to Klopp or a too manager and you'd be shocked some players who were called average will be playing differently.You know why?Strong mentality, proper management and good tactics count.

If Wenger allows Burnley to finish above
Arsenal it will go down as the single

SQUAD let alone team and yet we are looking over our shoulder as they continue to over perform.And exactly WHO is the so called novice manager?
It was reported Elneney turned down the opportunity to sign for Leicester before the season started as he did not wish to drop a level and was in love with
Arsenal Football Club.We should be proud the club is held is held in such high esteem but the player and if he wishes to sign to be a
squad player I absolutely welcome this contract extension.However Elneny is very basic in his overall displays.You have to ask if he has the ability to affect games, most especially against the clubs that are regarded as
bigger than us (albeit at the moment.
Some fans are mentioning Chambers as a potential DM in important fixtures... The boy just arrived at
Arsenal and he is already a
big part of the
squad (3 possible positions)... Just to say that a 19yo is a major piece of our team, it says a lot about the ambition and the status of the club (and this is a talented player who was not a first team regular at Southampton, but that is not a problem... If he is good he is good).
The news about Ozil's injury is not good, obviously, but that is why

Some people might try to say that a club with a
squad as
big as
