Not exact matches
Please some one tell me what is the effect
on players, when they
see their
fans «Not supporting» them when
on pitch and holding banners against Wenger???.
Arsenal
fans hardly ever
see Danny Welbeck
on the
pitch any more, except when Lacazette is injured and Aubameyang is disqualified from playing in the Europa, and when we do
see him he has been very disappointing.
at this point if you really Love arsenal as you claim... you should stop abusing our players and couch... they enter into a march with a lot of pressure and you can
see it
on the Way they play... the one I pity most is Walcott... God... That boy is in a lot of Pressure... Just imagine yourself in a
pitch... and 60000
fans yelling at you..
But, as a
fan, all I can
see is what's going
on on the
pitch, and if there IS a division, Alexis is definitely
on the right side, or
on our side, because he is the one who fights and that's all we ask for from our players.
There were very few Arsenal
fans that honestly expected to
see our old striker Nicholas Bendtner back in England, never mind
on the same
pitch as an Arsenal team, after Arsene Wenger finally gave up
on him back in 2012.
The concern for Arsenal
fans, however, is which Ozil we are going to
see when he does play again, so the clear enthusiasm of the German to get back
on the
pitch is just as good news as his return to fitness.
I read an article quoting the chairman of Sutton, and apparently it was for the players and
fans of Sutton to
see him play
on their
pitch.
He wants his ego to win.And when he wins, he would go to a rival and simply boast of how his team achieved a feat.That has become the latest brand of
fans and its absolute disgrace.In all honesty, we are absolutely clueless and absolutely offer nothing to the club.So, atleast be nice and stop slamming people who actually
see everything there and try to do it everything there
on the
pitch unlike talk and moan like bithces.
The Arsenal
fans who have had enough of Wenger and believe that there must be a change at the top were certainly given some more rope last night after the Foxes beat Liverpool in the first game without their title winning manager and the change in all of their effort and application
on the
pitch was clear to
see.
I am sure that most of the
fans have been wanting to
see more from him in recent years but Wenger has not given him enough time
on the
pitch in my opinion.
Xhaka was previously criticised by the
fans for his reckless behaviour
on the
pitch, which has
seen him pick up a terrible record of bookings during his first season with the Gunners.
Not sure if you heard but Podolski left us, Iwobi stepped into the 1st team the season AFTER Podolski left and I think most of us
fans agreed that as much as we liked to
see him laughing with team mates... he didn't offer as much as we needed
on the
pitch.
Former Gunners
fans» favourite, Mathieu Flamini, found himself
on the opposite side of the
pitch to his old Arsenal teammates, coming off the bench to help Palace
see out their surprisingly comprehensive victory at Selhurst Park.
Let Arsene go and all hell breaks will loose — suddenly the perfect scapegoat is gone and unhappy
fans won't
see a new manager as a common denominator as they
see Arsene now but the man who sits
on piles of cash disinterested in results
on the
pitch which is the only thing most of football
fans care about.
So now that we finally have that financial backbone to compete again, we expect results, but are not
seeing them
on the
pitch and this is why the
fans are getting restless.
thank you, even when we
pitch a shut out, these
fans pile
on mert, he is a warrior, does not deserve it, Kos is my fav defender but I can
see he was tired saturday, it worked out fine today, gabe fresh legs paid off
For me, I would prefer to
see Campbell play as Theos backup now rather than
seeing Giroud
on the
pitch again, Giroud needs to put the effort in otherwise Arsenal
fans will get upset at him and show their hurt... I do nt think Giroud enjoys being boo'd and we do nt want to boo one of our own players, Giroud isn't doing anything tho to stop it from happening.
He is also vastly experienced and can often be
seen organising his teammates
on the
pitch, as well as doing things like tearing strips of Mesut Ozil when the play maker trudged off without thanking the Arsenal
fans after a defeat.
These are very important questions because when things go wrong
on the field of play and we (
fans and pundits) formulate our opinions — we do so through the prism of what we
see on the field of play — the performance of the players and the manager — and largely ignore the role and activities of the money making people who behind the scenes play a huge part in determining what happens
on the
pitch.
I have
seen captains do the dirty work
on the
pitch with no fear of anyone, either the players, the media or the
fans..
On the other hand the true Arsenal fans have not been brainwashed and look at Wenger's performance over a period longer than 1 or 10 games and what they see is that Arsenal have made no progress on the pitch, showing the same mental and physical frailties they have for a long long time with their competitors with fewer funds and lower wage bills leaving Arsenal in the dus

on the
pitch, showing the same mental and physical frailties they have for a long long time with their competitors with fewer funds and lower wage bills leaving Arsenal in the dust.
The way Gabriel's career has gone through the gears and the performances that Arsenal
fans have already
seen on the
pitch since his January transfer, combined with his easy going nature and adaptability off the
pitch is very good news for his new club and suggests to me that we are going to have a real star
on our hands.
While Reds
fans would have been pleased with what they
saw on the
pitch, they appeared to particularly enjoy Sakho's antics after the game.
Good luck squad, please do your best and show some fight — something us
fans haven't
seen in a while...
on the
pitch i mean.
I know some
fans wish we had been more «positive» keeping more strikers
on the
pitch at the end - but these are the same people that also complained we can't
see a game out.
Secondly, Wenger needs to become far more flexible when it comes to his formation selections... remember this is the same individual that hadn't used a 3 - back system for 20 years and only conceded to the experiment when the proverbial shit hit the
fan... you know it killed him to adopt «Conte's» system, which is probably why he resisted so long; in fact his stubbornness to adjust even earlier might have cost us the 4 hole... much like most sports that have tactical formations, every team should have a «base» offensive and defensive scheme, but they likewise need to have some inherent flexibility depending
on the opposing teams tactics and / or when specific substitutions are made... how many times have you watched a Wenger - run team make a late substitution but not change their shape
on the
pitch... furthermore, how many times have you
seen our team fail to make the necessary adjustments at halftime due to Wenger's tactical stubbronness, which often led to giving up goals in the early minutes of the second - half... the best teams in the world know how to make halftime adjustments whereas we always seem to be surprised when the opposing team throws a wrinkle into the mix following halftime... this my friend is soccer 101
I would have thought it would be good to get a different perspective of the game from people and
fans who would
see the problems
on the
pitch, at least he would a 360 degree view.
He
sees the 3 dimensional aspect of the club, from working with it as the
fans see a 1 dimensional picture of the team
on the
pitch and the results from the matches.
i know that we need to keep both players, their importance to the team should be reflected in their wages, i'd like to
see them get between 200 000/250 000 a week but they shouldn't hold us to ransom and ask for 300 000 like i read somewhere also they shouldn't take into account the reasons why they've been playing well (very well i should say) the fact that they are at the right club playing under a manager who gives them the freedom to express themselves
on the
pitch, teammates that respect them and
see them as their leaders they must enjoy leading the team and the way our team plays its football, i think right now both the players and the club suit each other and the best outcome for all parties (including
fans) would be to agree
on contracts that satisfy everyone!!
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...
Arsenal
fans have become used to Arsene Wenger «not
seeing» crucial incidents
on the
pitch involving his players, but he quite clearly
saw Matthieu Flamini's tackle
on Dan Gosling and he believes that Flamini should have got a free kick rather than a yellow card.
Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions
on the
pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made
on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the game, he knows the
fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he
sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both
on and off the
pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act
on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
While the vast majority of Arsenal
fans have our fingers and toes crossed that we will soon be
seeing the France international striker Karim Benzema running out
on to the Emirates stadium
pitch in the famous red and white shirt, there is no guarantee that he will be leaving Real Madrid at all.
Since when do we
see him making subs early?Since when do we

pitch and not AW's favouritism (which the
fans have said for a decade), AW flexibility this season is a reborn.

on the
pitch soon, even if he is the most entertaining man
on Twitter.
A notoriously chaotic derby both

pitch, recent meetings between these North East rivals have
seen red cards aplenty,
fans squaring up to police horses and general carnage.
While a large majority of, if not all, Man Utd
fans love Lingard having
seen him come up through the youth ranks and establish himself as a senior star now, it's fair to say that he does have a habit of winding up opposition supporters with his social media antics and celebrations
on the
pitch.
After the excitement of
seeing Kooz end the All - Star Game by
fanning Yaz, however, my attention began to drift away from New York and back to the Bay Area, where the Giants were enjoying their own phenomenal
pitching success story in Juan Marichal, who shut out the Dodgers
on Aug. 1 to run his record to 20 - 4.
Although us
fans are not too bothered about
seeing him leave now, for most of his time at the Emirates we were left scratching our heads and wondering why the German was hardly getting any time
on the
pitch.
And when you consider that us long suffering Arsenal
fans are forced to pay through the nose to watch and support the teams that Wenger
sees fit to put out
on the
pitch, it feels like we are being made mugs of.
I started googling way back in may who could we be buying gonzalo higuian, julio cesar and wayne rooney but realize going by history wenger just as no interest in buying world class players, he wants 2 buy d grade players and turn them up to koscienly nd nasri that will take years while da arsenal faithful pay handsome figures for dismal performances,
fans allowed wenger 2 get away when he gets away with these lucky matches of fenerbache been strong
on paper but a waste of tym
on the
pitch, also it happen at bayern but they put a slighty weak team but wenger runt his mouth around of how good da team was after that 2 - 0 win, not forgetting it was bould that got the team defense looking solid while wenger moan about referee decisions and no blame
on team, I just feel we (arsenal) have allowed wenger and co to misuse us, so now our main target aim is benzema yet giroud plays more often than him for france, can any1
see how wenger is lowing our standards and expectations at arsenal, I wil be over da moon if wenger does not sign an extension wit us, after the gilberto days and disaterous results and teams we play, his approach to the game defensely which is pathetic and his annoying behaviour.So what if manu and chelski haven't really bought they are already strong it was
seen last week now we should be worried about our selves since that villa defeat, jst imagine what the man's and london money maniac's are goin 2 do to us, I can
see it already coming from wenger, if we find the right player we will buy him, after sept2, we didn't find da right player but the squad can challenge for the title, its so sick having 2 hear that crap, just take him psg, I just wish the
fans would say we had enough of this bullshit transfer policies its time we stood up against these pigs of directors by protesting!

see, I was joined
on the
pitch by AS Roma mascot Romolo, we got to meet all the

February 5 — Round 24 of Premier League fixtures
saw Chelsea, Spurs and Leicester top the attendance capacity table, while Hull matched their resurgence
on the
pitch with stay - away
fans returning to the KCOM.
While Juan Mata's slight frame may
see him muscled out of games, and Ander Herrera lacks the sheer genius to be the playmaker
fans crave, their former creative midfielder was a creative midfielder who could never be accused of being out - fought or out - thought
on the
pitch.
Pitch invasions are largely a thing of the past, however on Sunday we got to see a pitch invasion fail from a solo Arsenal

fan.
The majority of
fans (myself included) were desperate to
see the Croatian sold during the summer after all the sordid antics he got up to last season - both
on and off the
pitch - but if you ask me he is currently the player most suited to playing behind Mauro Icardi in Spalletti's preferred 4 -2-3-1 formation.
Whilst Antonio Conte gets
on with making magic happen
on the
pitch, here are some things we would like to
see at Stamford Bridge from a
fan perspective.
On the
pitch, things have not been much better for the Lancashire side this season and, with the parachute payments the
fans and investors claim they have
seen little of coming to an end, it really is time for them to sink or swim.
Deeply agree with you guys, where is Arsenal team we used to watch???? Where in the world is it???? Really really desapointed.I think this is the worse Arsenal team Ive ever seen.i know these guys are talented but may be AW worship them so much as stars so that they spend their time with Chicks and do nt have the force to fight
on the
pitch anymore.No encouragement from the coach, nor the assistant.Arsenal only thinks about making money, forcing the
fans to support these young players, focusing
on the idea of producing stars and sell them afterward but not buying stars to win games.I was really pssd off when I watch the Liverpool game agst hull city, Both teams were so alive and all strong during the game, fast play, pass accuracy, dynamism, combativity, never give up minded
on evry single minute they fought for the ball.ManU had a draw today but You could
see that they were fighting till the end.I do nt know WHAT DID WE DO TO WIN AGST MANU AND CHELSKI?????.
