Not exact matches
When Arsene Wenger made 9 changes to his Arsenal
team that travelled to Nottingham on Sunday, and did not even have any of his top First
team players on the
bench in case things didn't go to plan, was this a sign that he was saving his best side to face Chelsea on Wednesday in the Caraboa
Cup semi-final?
I am also of the view that Giroud is considering his France place in the world
cup, which will be less guarantee if he plays on the
bench at arsenal, it would be unfortunate to lose his skills,
teams most be able to mix there attacking threats against different defensive styles of varying oppositions.
arsenal has won convincingly last FA
cup even with all
bench defenders, and what i have learnt from that is how much working hard on training, especially for stamina and endurance so as to press on the opponents not to give them time and a space, dominate on the ball and win the match with a big
team if arsenal continue to display that with the addition of more skillful midfielders, left winger right winger wow arsenal will be monster
He scored a hat - trick against Brighton last night and that took his goal tally to eight in just nine games and he has already played for the first
team this season in the League
cup, so the talented 19 - year old is very close and could soon find himself on the
bench a lot more often.
No Ospina in the
team or on the
bench means the keeper has either got an injury or Wenger does not trust his state of mind after his double howler nearly cost Colombia a World
Cup place and there is not a lot of options for Wenger to turn to on the
bench, in terms of experience at least.

bench.
While, I thlink Wenger is right to keep joel campbell on the

Not expert enough against top
teams who love his reading of game so much they put a shit load of goals passed him... It's not just that's he is slow it's also because he is one of the worst distributors of a ball I have seen in top flight football... Just watch his passing to players with no option but to boot loose ball or pass back... It is truly shocking... so yes unless you're a 4th place junkie mert should be a
bench player just like for Germany in World
Cup
After pen to paper is done its business as usual back to 4 -5-1 Giroud up top Holding
benched, come March the excuses we didn't expect Cazorla to still be out Koscielnys red card was harsh Europa league is tougher than we expected the players are fatigued after a return to form in mid April I believe this
team has unbelievable mental strength we have an fa
cup final to play 18 other club would love to be in our position judge me at the end of the season.
the 28 year old would surely jump at the chance of a return as long as he was guaranteed a decent run in the first
team as he would not be keen, so close to a World
Cup, to find himself warming the
bench.
I know it doesn't make any economic sense, but I would say this to the Ox: either you go to the
team with the highest bid — at this moment Chelsea — or we keep you at Arsenal as a
benched squad player in the under - 23s and bury your chances of playing for England in the next World
Cup, and explain to him that when he does go for free, it'll be to a club like West Brom on a quarter of the wage Chelsea are prepared to play.
Actually Ozil has been over hiped and arsen wenger is not helping matters for allowing him to over stay in the pitch even when its clear that he has gased out, I pitty joel campbell who does every exploit on for Olympiacos last year but found himself not even closer to arsenal
bench even Rosisky, because they are not from France, is a pitty that FA
cup that we worn last is causing us all these, because if not because we worn AW would have resigned or become more pro-active and serious with the
team because for me he has lost all and can not wiin any major tophy even if he will win at all, he should live now or be disgraced out.
As it stands, this squad is fairly well positioned to compete for the Wenger
Cup and make a deep run in the Europa, if and only if we play first stringers in Europe and use the
bench for the League and FA Cups... that being said, and based on the fragility of the manager and the
team in recent campaigns, it's more likely that Wenger will focus on a top 4 finish and the FA
Cup... while the reasons for such an approach may appear logical, it would confirm a rather disturbing trend and appear counter intuitive for any
team which claims to have higher aspirations... I feel that Wenger simply can't afford to put all his eggs in the Europa basket because if he fails the potential backlash could cripple any top 4 chances due to the aforementioned fragile psyche that tends to rear it's ugly head like our own personal groundhog day each and every February... furthermore, can you even imagine Wenger bringing in the necessary recruits to adequately supply top quality lineups in a Thursday / Sunday dominated schedule; based on everything I've seen in recent years, I can't see that happening... in fact, mark my words, it's more likely that we see Lacazette playing out wide in Alexis's position with Giroud at striker, than we see Wenger make the necessary moves to right this ship... god, I hope I'm wrong but is it really that far - fetched considering what we've witnessed for past several years
