In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)

The only players I can see ever playing for stats on this team are wall and beal.

Mertz should never have been our captain in the first place... who has ever heard of a team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is what happens when you don't get world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!

Football its a sport with sports you have injuries add to that its contact sport so the probability of getting injured is sure Ok I can understand luck and ball wobble has got something to do with it but as a soccer player you know you could get injured just like that two or more players are going for the ball you could be sandwiched you could instantly hit the same ball one gets injured both get injured what ever but injury is part of the game some go away pretty easy some do nt and can get aggravated because not all can wait in a in a heavy box for too long and if you do well you become weak so it will take some effort to get back to full strength praying that you do nt get a strain or muscular problem players mangers coaches and physician know that i know that because not long ago i had bad thigh injury all was fine with it then i got a knock just below my knee 3 weeks ago and there is still slight pain in it but will try and play on Thursday thats part of the game The manager has to account for it in his head i got 11 players 6 might go down my contingency if it were to happen is and you still got a fully balanced team well thats the essence and Arsenal all fall because that contingency plan always falls short

Some observations from today: — Cazorla has got his groove back — Giroud's finishing has improved — Bellerin is FAST — Debuchy was a great buy — Alexis is one of the hardest workers I've ever seen in our team Points for improvement: — Mertesacker isn't playing well in my view.

Well that's your opinion.I for one think Giroud is one of the most average strikers to ever play for Arsenal.I would be vindicated by their performances this season.Do you think any top team apart from Arsenal will take Lukaku and Morata over Giroud?I don't see what's so good about him.All he does is turn his back away from goal and hopes a fhance comes his way to score.There's nothing special about Giroud.

Why is this even an issue?We make some we buy some like we've always done.It's not like we've ever had a full team or first eleven playing for Arsenal where all the player actually came through our ranks and were not bought from foreign countries to come through our ranks.The fact is Arsenal give youngsters a chance time and time again such that even if they're average and were destined to be world class and they become world class then that's where the saying that» We don't buy superstars, we make them» arises.They continually give youngsters a chance that's the reason and we are unlike so many teams out there.

Now that Arsenal have got the resources to buy top players in midfield like Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, do any of us really believe that Wilshere will ever be good enough to play for the Gunners first team again?

«What I was really hoping for ever since I joined the Albion was to get to the Premier League with them but unfortunately we fell short on both occasions — but I will take a lot of positives with me from my time at Brighton and I want to thank the club for giving me a chance to play first - team football again last year.

wenger is the oldest deadwood we have at the club, transfers aside whats with the terrible formations against stronger oppositions, why must ramsey play every match even when there is no space for him on the team, le prof will sacrifice a natural winger just to put ramsey in the team, get rid of Walcott, sanogo (why did we ever sign him), give ozil the no 10 shirt until wilshere gets his act together, almost forgot get rid of mertesacker.

why was Sanchez truly playing... no one believes he was too injured to play to start the season, and some like myself would go as far to suggest he wasn't injured at all... so why play him... they can't say it was to appease the fans because when was that ever a factor at this club except when «panic buys» were in the offing... I believe that this was to give Arsenal a little leverage when it comes to negotiating his transfer... just imagine their horrible bargaining position if Sanchez never saw the field before the deadline then heading back to South America and played for Chile... regardless of the facts, this was sadly again another example of a team putting business ahead of fielding a team with the greatest chance to secure 3 points... of course, some will say that Sanchez is, or was, our best player, so obviously he's a no - brainer to start, but those who really watch the game know that his heart hasn't been truly in it for quite some time... even at the end of last season you could see a definitive difference between the Sanchez who played for Chile and the one that played for Arsenal... that being said, 70 % of Sanchez is still better than a 100 % of the vast majority of our remaining roster... shame on you Arsene and shame on you too Sanchez for that telling smirk... I've supported your attempt to push this squad to the next level but don't pretend for a second that you didn't know you were being watched... don't lower your standards or you'll end up like this club, on the outside looking in

You got us good, i won» ever comment, you making ratings throwing non sense for people to react one way or other... We lose, draw against these teams all season long; 6th place is our spot... I wont even watch any of these games; my favorite team today is shifting to Reds, the spirit, the play brought by that Klopp.

Last year, at the World Junior Championships, McDavid became the sixth - youngest player ever to play for Team Canada.

But ever since it became a commandment — Thou shalt not celebrate against a team you once played for, even a little bit, even just on loan — it's become clear that this is nothing more than self - basting.

Let's get real here.It is very unlikely that ANY professional player will ever say anything derogatory about a teammate that has just left the club.If Jack had said about Coq - «Grew up playing with him in the Youth Team and have fond memories of a player they though he had very limited ability he always gave his all.Very surprised and disappointed the club never invested in a World Class defensive midfielder that we have quite obviously been lacking for a number of seasons and would no doubt have improved the defensive weakness we have shown over a number of seasons» we would have echoed his thoughts entirely.If he had said about Theo - «A player who should have been so much better than he ended up being.He had everything needed to be a prolific player for our club but I can understand the fans frustrations with his continued lack - lustre performances and total lack of a football brain.I think this is best explained by the managers preference to play a player of such limited ability as Alex Iwobi in front of Theo pretty much says it all» we again would have all nodded our agreement.Although Jack never mentioned Alexis Sanchez I would imagine something along the lines of «If the Manager had not persisted with players with such limited ability such as Francis and Theo and instead bought the world class players needed into the club then Sanchez would still most likely be here.The fans must wonder what the hell goes on at the club as they pay fortunes for the privalage of following our club but it seems the millions generated ends up purchasing a new Texas Ranch for the Owner or in a yearly renumeration of # 9million pounds to our manager».

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

March 29 is Opening Day, and it's the earliest Opening Day for MLB ever once you take out things like teams playing in Japan to kick off the season.

Before Southern coaches and players rushed the field celebrating an end - of - game goal line stand, the two teams would combine for almost 1,000 yards, three 100 - yard receivers, a 100 - yard rusher, 16 plays of 20 - plus yards, and nearly every possible special teams event: blocked kicks, return touchdowns, a muffed kick return, a long punt return, a punt snap hitting an upback in the face, a surprise onsides kick, and one of the worst fake field goal attempts you'll ever see.

Would rather get rid of everyone that wants to leave including ozil, Do not buy anyone play the youngsters get rid of the whole lot Kronke and all the board members and manager, And start from scratch, All the fans unite for this season back the team then start the rebuilding next season, Will take a few years but i think the club would then come back stronger than ever.

What a good comment to Andrew Elder, hope all fans can open their brains and see the differences, Ozil ever been criticized for everything, the stats will never lie the boy contribute alot to the team why is he playing for German squard if he is not good enough?

«Last year actually we had more points than ever before but ended outside (of the top four) and this year you have six or seven teams playing for the top four so it will be competitive so you have to look at yourself and be consistent.

But for example, it could be very costly if Wenger starts with Niles, Holding and Gibbs in defence tonight and I just hope that he puts out a reasonable strong team because Basel have a very good record Playing in England, I don't think that they have ever lost a game in these shores??

For all Walcott's qualities, he lacks the physical presence of players like Giroud and Sanchez up front, and also a variation to his play — it is hard to imagine him ever scoring a long - range screamer like his Chilean team - mate did at Wembley last season.

Seriously, the guy has slotted in to three positions for us effortlessly, provided more assists than any player in the league since his arrival and other members of our team constantly name him as one of the best, most complete players they've ever played with.

He's the face of the Rays and has only ever played for Tampa Bay and sending him elsewhere without a reasonable return coming back to the team would not only be a bad choice for the franchise but wouldn't exactly put the front office in good standing with the fans.

Although sissokho is more of a box to box but he has athleticism and physical presence to affect the game and often plays well against big teams when ever I watch him e.g Chelsea this season and last two seasons against Man united last season at old traffold etc he can play DM role for us and will be a good signing and very useful in champions league... COYG!!

Despite the fact that he played the X receiver position for a team that hardly ever threw down the field outside of the numbers.

Dzeko played for his national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, leading the line for Bosnia & Herzegovina, but he was unable to help them make it out of the group stage in their first ever major international tournament.

I heard some funny things from our fans saying that him and Ozil being in the same team will be bad and that he's lazy.It's a shame that our club has turned into this.Can someone name a season where a team lost the title because of a player's laziness.Even in the csse of Arsenal no one has ever blamed us for not winning the title due to any player's laziness.The thing is about looking at the bigger picture.You need to look at whether the players in team are playing to their strengths.That's the most important thing.If Ozil played to his strength no one would mention anything about laziness.I hope we sign Riyad Mahrez.

Any motivate the players he don't know how to be tactical he just picks the team and tells the same thing it's not working change it ever team will not play open so wenger needs to change the team players and style to defeat that also if a team presses us wenger does nothing to get round that same team same tactics that's the issue that's why arsenal won't win the league it's like a boxer going for head all the time you need to go for body to open up the other for the head shot wenger is to soft and it's transfers to the players remember the team he had before always makeing runs stretching teams even if they are sitting back spread there whole back line and midfield with run after run arsenal don't do that anymore they don't even shoot outside the box you know why because wenger tells them not to another tactic to draw another team out Ramsey can shoot but he never shoots anymore why is that wenger fact thanks guys.

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

There are very few Arsenal fans that wouldn't want Antoine Griezmann to come to the Emirates and team up with his good friend Alexandre Lacazette, but it seems that we can stop dreaming about that ever happening now that the French international winger has revealed that he was let down by Le Prof back in 2013, when he was playing for Real Sociedad.

Afobe is probably not good enough to ever play for this team.
