A new and proper manager in charge will change the whole stale crumbling structure and we can finally begin the change from staleness and regression to innovation, a regard for the concept of defence — something Wenger has never shown — , coaching, organisation, motivation of the squad and all the other changes we badly need.

I personally believe that Wenger didn't push to have the contracts of Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Ox renewed earlier because he was going to use it as leverage when renegotiating his own deal... so far that tactic has backfired as we know little more about this squad moving forward than we did in May and Wenger clearly misjudged just how important his staying would be to both Sanchez and Ox... I like Lacazette, but I liked him a lot more 2 years ago at 20 million less... Sead might come good but once again he wasn't a necessity buy, except that he was a free transfer and was signed early... another «wag the dog» tactic employed by the powers that be... as for the rest of the roster, very little has changed, except that it's way too big and lacks the cutting edge to take this club to new heights.

• 09 Podolski — Under used, best left foot in the squad, no good at chasing back • 10 Wilshere — Falls over a lot, injury prone, runs down blind alleys, spends more time sitting on his arse waving his arms around than influencing the game • 14 Walcott — Quick, can change games with his pace, improved his finishing, can't wait for him to be back to full fitness • 22 Sanogo — Looooooooool, that is all • 26 Martinez — Haven't seen enough of him to truly judge.

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.

I can tell you for sure that a leopard does not change it's spots.Wenger will sign a maximum of one player and then claim that his squad is good enough to win the league.

All of us are going to have different opinions on formations and who should start when where etc but i think allot of us would worry for this squad if we tried making big changes at this point.

the truth is that we did nt have a first 11 or squad to win in a weak league last year... so far chelsea and the manchester clubs have invested in big changes... and almost certainly for the better... spurs and leicester (if they keep konte and mahrez) can build on their foundation of last season..

This attitude of wanting the club to decline further just so a managerial change can come in to their liking is beyond petulant... Ozil, Xhaka, Bellerin, Mustafi, AOC, Koscielny are all solid building blocks for a quality squad if a quality manager is to take over..

defensively he did well chasing the ball... we have given chances to other players for years and still they have not developed their full potential, my take is that we (WENGER) does not execute the proper squad rotation, playing the same players again and again, is the reason why we don't have a plan B a second team that can change games and certainly has to be a factor for the out of the chart injuries our players sustain season after season.

Whoever is in charge knows what they would have to do make some drastic changes, breakdown the squad and get rid of underperforming players who have been at the club for too long already (it could be that they've been here recently but you don't need more than 2 seasons to assess those things) and make the tough call that would free up some spot and cash to go for higher caliber players and winners!

Nwakali is a forward or wing player, nothing like kante and Ramsey is a squad player for me not first team quality, if Carzola is fit, him and xhaka would be a mouth watering fit but with Arsenals Injurie luck this seems inlikely but i wounder if the five at the back would work if we play a stubborn team that defends, i hope Arsene would change the formation in such games back to 4 -2-3-1 but this would require a proper rght wing which we havent had in years, we've had OX, Campell, Wallcot, Iwobi, Ramsey, Welbeck and Ozil play in that position and non of them have made it their own like sanchez has with the left wing

Wenger will go all out to beat Barca yes as he does with every game its just that he's got less quality in the squad wich is his fault and less options for when things go wrong.and so nothing will change and we'll all be arguing the toss about this in ten years time.

We have no one to replace them and I am not happy about Wenger keep changing the positions of certain players to accommodate for injuries as this only disrupts the squad.

Man City will have to pick themselves up after last night's disappointment, while Arsenal have had a full week to recover from last weeks win over Norwich, so that may be a factor in Arsenal's favour, as well as Wenger having a full squad to choose from for a change.

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

So let us put the horse before the cart for a change, get Wenger sacked and ONLY THEN can we ever begin to do what is vitally necessary to get a great all round squad who are MOTIVATED to try their best every week, month in month out, year in year out.

It may well be the start of major changes for the Blues, as with John Terry also set to see his current deal come to an end this summer, Conte will have to replace his experienced veterans and add depth and quality to his squad moving forward.

we wait every year for the big change just to hear the same excuses (theres no1 out there)(we have the quality already) and we know hes goer sign a couple of panic buys just before the window just add to the already overloaded crappy looking squad that we have.

And there lies the problem, if Arsenals squad was strong enough we would have won the league over the last 10 years, but we havent so there is the answer to that question, Time for a change!!

I think its time for a big change on the top management, we clearly need abig dose of money to rebuild this squad top to bottom.

As we strengthen the squad, we CAN adjust the starting X1 to change the tactics / formation for particular jobs, but right now, we have 13/14 players that are proven, and another 6/7 that are still learning at this level.
