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.
I see lot of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class player.Yes, he is a great player BUT did you see how mutch this season was he injuried?The period when Dortmund win some
games and comme forward
in the table was the period when Reus was available, rest of the season he was injuried.This is one thing, the other think is that Klopp say he will leave Dortmund
in the end of the season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will leave to a
big team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type of player as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a first XI player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla when he will leave.Sterling is an English player, will be great to see him at nationat team too, and we need as mutch as rest of the
big teams from EPL home grown players.The coments who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want to see more young players and waiting year after year to confirm or just see how they doesn't play anything?We are a top team, and need
performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED player who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great player.
«It's going to be a tough end to the season as we're not quite where we want to be

games to go and we need some
big performances and results between now and the end of the season.
«It was a great action and I thought maybe we deserved a little bit of credit for scoring the goal because as I said it was not our best
performance and anyway we managed to get a result
in a
big game.
No one expected Bellerin to have a
big impact, when he was thrown into the deep end, the same could be said about Coquelin, So, why not wait and see if Bielik can do the same, he seemed okay
in that position against the MLS superstars, well, at least wenger was happy with his
performance in that
game.
It's just not the most far - fetched thing
in the world for a GM to really and truly want a player to play the
biggest game of their life at a time when they're feeling good about their
performance.
A guy who never turns up

Through two
games, Ginobili has yet to give a
big performance with just 15 total points

games.
I had more fun watching this team than I might've had if they coasted through conference play and made an uninspired
performance in the
Big Dance a la UVA,
in no small part because of their lack of «ELITE» status and willingness to make the gritty plays
game in and
game out.
But the team's
performance can also help bring the best out of Ozil
in the
bigger games.
Sanchez carried the team on his back last season, but despite performing heroics, the results and
performances were still poor, and we were still awful
in the
big games.
After being dropped for Manchester City's

big game as well, even his «perfect» passing which has been far from perfect, especially recently.
I would like to tell arsenal fan that the transfer window is not arsenal's problem.Let explain what is
in my mind.We need to reinforce our team but we need to think
in the future that most of the high class players are going to refuse signing for arsenal fc because of Mr Wenger's philosophy.It looks like arsenal becomes cemetery of players.How many players came
in and left because of
performance, became good players out of arsenal.We need to accept all of the transformation Mr wenger brings
in arsenal but now it does not work.Why??? because lack of tactics, strategies and pretending best players for Mr wenger mind but
in reality those players do not get standard of best player.Mr wenger wants to prove everybody that he is wright that players who are calling by wenger are best.I means Mr wenger is the only one can see all matter
in good position or bad.He is wrong by thinking this way.He does not like criticism.he is the mind of arsenal.Everything he can say or defend is wright.Think about morrinho comments about arsenal!!!! Why he likes to be arsenal coach!!!! One thing I want to say about arsenal players, I think everybody watch arsenal
games.We have got short mind players who play two good
games and the rest shameless.They are working hard
in the training ground for catching Mr wenger's mind to let them play; what is behind their (players) mind to be the most regular players.Those players have no vision even ambition; they are never becoming high class and their carriers are going to finish
in arsenal after arsenal we are going to see them playing for championship.They do not care to become legend as Ian wright, Vierra, Berckam, piress, Henry... What is the
big behind their mind to use wenger name to be selected
in national team.They are not able to face different leagues
in the world.
Our squad is depleted, we're miles off Chelsea, everyone expects us to lose, we have an horrific record
in the
big games this season, our first half
performances have been diabolical, and Wenger will probably field a poor starting XI yet again!
Bad
performances come around sometimes, but gone are the days of humiliating scorelines
in big games.
So the
performance of our striker Danny Welbeck for England
in the win over Germany last night has got to be seen as a
big positive, especially if Olivier Giroud can take the form he showed for France back into his club
games.
@ARSENAL FAN I gave up blaming WENGER so will not start accusing the man, but he and only he is responsible for the
performance of this squad, don't remember seeing such a lackluster team
in the past years, yes he bought Superstars so what, watch OZIL one good
game 10 unnoticed, nobody wants to say it loud because he was our
biggest signing but is also our
biggest FLOP....
«We want to respond after a disappointing
performance, sometimes there is no better way to do it than
in a
big game.
It was nice to see some smiles on fan faces after City, but we've not yet won anything and the Champions league is more likely gone than not, so unless we start producing winning
performances in big games, and
big games are coming thick and fast, we may find ourselves where we were just a week ago.
No matter how much blame you allocate to Arsene Wenger for the poor
performances of Arsenal this season
in big games like the home defeat by Watford, the limp display away to Chelsea and most obviously the complete battering at the hands of Bayern Munich, you must realise that the manager does not send the side out with instructions to play poorly or not put much effort
in.
Jack, like the rest of us, has been very impressed with Wenger's tactics and the team's
performances which have seen Arsenal shrug off those questions about us
in big games, and he feels that this is a major step to us getting back where we belong.
Arsenal was given one of the weakest team
in this CL competition.Everybody expected a win, like by
big margin but the whole match there was no fight and desire.The
game was so poor at all front last night.City and Man Utd played their hearts out even though they were defeated.Man Utd players witnessed a horrific injury to their team mate, that will affect their focus and rhythm but they fought with desire to win the
game till the end.City were the better team than Juventus, they played really good.I have even read an article on Sky that states even though Man utd and City is defeated they still can qualify the group stage, thats how their
performance were reassuring.But Arsenal were really poor from starting the
game till end.Zagreb got their first win
in CL since 1999, that says it all.
But then again, we have also improved our tactics and
performances in the
big games and if we are going to find it harder against the lower placed clubs, how much harder will our rivals find it?
Bar the Chelsea
game, the
performances in the so called «
big games» have been just awful, and yet we haven't lost.
His best
performance came
in one of the
biggest games of the season for Elk Grove.
Wenger believed that the
performance and result showcased all of the attributes that have not been
in evidence on
big occasions
in the past and moved to praise his side after the
game for their display:
But the point remains that James delivered one of his all - time
performances in the
biggest game of the year, and the Cavaliers let him down.
As Wenger said
in the build up: «Just before the break we had a disappointing result but quite a positive
performance [at Man City] and it's important for us, going into such a
big game on Saturday, to take the positives out of that
game and transfer that enthusiasm and resilience into the derby.
However, his
performances of recent has not been a reflections of his status; his
performances in big games is nothing to write home about this season.
Then factor
in his «actual» overall
performance and How this relates to the results of his team, especially
in the «
big»
games.
Mentality is a
big factor
in football because if your head isn't
in the
game as a player on the pitch, then your
performance is way off par against your teammates and opposition.
It may be just a coincidence that Arsenal put on the best away
performance in a really
big game for years on the same day that our former striker, record goal scorer and all round legend Thierry Henry was
in the TV studio for the first time to give his verdict.
In any case we do always seem to make it more difficult than it should be and when this occurs we provide stellar
performances, previous bayern
games, our monaco
game away from home, coming back from 2 - 0 down against hull idk but to me it shows a lack of preparation / concentration for the
big occasions.
We still can't win, or even get near winning a major trophy, we very rarely win ANY trophy, and we still bottle it
in the
big games (one win
in eight for the
big games this season, which includes seven poor
performances).
Speaking to Sky Sports after the
game, Neville did not hold back
in his criticism of Lukaku's
performance, warning him that at a club like United he needs to produce more
in big games such as this one.
He had his best
performance in Clemson's
biggest game — 16 carries for 110 yards against Louisville — and he will likely be a key piece.
We weigh a lot of things when considering our Player of the Year: Complete contribution to the team, versatility, team
performance, and player
performance in the
biggest games.
While United have taken some criticism for their
performances in the
big games this season, Mourinho won't have been expecting a footballing lesson from a manager
in the Championship.
I may have been left eating my words for this ONE OFF
performance from Ozil
in a
big game, but maybe we wouldn't be as far off from the top as 12 pts, if the likes of Ozil were dropped for all the other
big games for which he has not been performing
in.
The Pacers got
big performances from David West, Roy Hibbert and Paul George
in Game 5 to take a 3 - 2 series lead over the Hawks.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is
in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis...
in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but
in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest
in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup
performance but these sort of pie
in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base...
in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player
in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)...
in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did
in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this
in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players
in the final third... he was never a good defensive player
in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely
in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a
performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)...
in their places we need to bring
in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a
big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model
in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the
game has changed quite dramatically
in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking
in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
The
performances were still poor, and more importantly, the results were bad, especially
in the
big games.
The result being he had the most passes completed
in the premier league, the most tackles, the most interceptions, the most goals and assists for a central midfielder and he actually performed
in big game matches and scored
game winning goals and provided match winning
performances.
Mourinho looks like he could do with reinforcements
in attack after some disappointing
performances in the
big games this season, with Bale a clear upgrade on the likes of Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan
in that department.
They needed these
big performances out of these two guys as they were facing a Team Malvin squad that was riding high coming
in on a 3 -
game winning streak.
Captain Jon «Wiz Nation» Horwitz led the
game with 28
big points and upped his average
in 2 Hoops
performances to 23 points..
Although we could get a full season from Giroud were he hits those magic numbers and improves
performances in big games... well inside the realms of possibility.
