Defencivly Coq has performed better than Schneiderlin, more tackles per 90 mins and less fouls given, more headers and winning a higher %... so yeah, we could have a valid argument that Coq is the better holding CM so
far this season then the # 25 + million man Schniderlin
I don't reckon for one second that United will have it all their own way at The Reebok, however the form of Dimitar Berbatov and Paul Scholes is just too strong to ignore and if these to continue playing to the standard they've been so
far this season then I see no rest bite for Bolton, who are still reeling from their Carling Cup defeat on Tuesday night.

So
far that is Wenger's biggest mistake and it will haunt him (and us) all
season — either he drops his captain (and
then what is the point of having a captain if you don't play him) or he perseveres with him when we clearly need someone better in that position and get hammered by the Chelseas of this world again this coming
season.
The club would upgrade his contract in the medium term if he performed well but TBH if he believes he gets a decent contract off the back of this

Even
then on the first day of the
season vs west ham he was heavily criticised (i still remember all those Reece oxford memes) and at the end of the
season he wasnt as good either (still performing well, but not consistently at his peak) All I am saying is he has
far more off days than other WC players
Wilshere for all his injuries is
far better than both Ramsey and Xhaka.I just don't know the importance of Xhaka in the team if he can't defend.He's the real problem in the squad.Why do fans keep accepting mediocrity?Aren't we tired?It's painful seeing him play every match in our midfield
then the same people who claim to love him would come and be making noise about how average he is after a bad match forgetting that he's actually average.I'd easily play Maitland - Niles or Coquelin over Xhaka.They would provide more steel in the midfield.Is it going to take us four
seasons to realize how average Xhaka is?The painful things is that by that time many trophies would've have by passed us.

So
far this
season, ULM has beaten one SEC team (

But assuming that the numbers hold for this
season,
then of the forty games that the bottom ten will play against the top two, they can expect between them 2 or 3 victories and a
further 4 or 5 draws.
wenger will give him every chance to shine, but if he do nt
then its adios, we have plenty of younger hungry players coming through who would love to start like jeff reinie adelaide, maitland - niles, iwobi (who is the surprise package of the

Tonight's round of international friendlies mean we're a step closer to the real football coming back, but until
then why not catch up with our Manchester United player ratings for the 2017/18
season so
far?
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)
I think we have come
far Specialy second part of 2014/5
season, for the first time in years I believed we can win and expected to win every game who ever we played now that's a progress in my eyes anyway but when I see Barcelona play and players
then I know how
far we are from Wining CL
the injuries are easing up a bit to for us the medical team + shad are doing a good job on keeping the injuries down and recovery time quicker, time for wenger to deliver next
season no excuses anymore everything is in place to do it just get the transfers right this summer and we should go for it if wenger feels he cant take us
further forward than this summer after a sit down with the board
then.
i think sachez should play... even though he was rusty he was
far better player
then the rest... plus v can not take chance in this match as a loss will again turn this
season to the path the last few years have gone..
And if we want to
further guarantee goals through out the
season irrespective of what happens
then we can acquire Lacazette or Icardi as back up.
If Wenger decides he will stay (still really annoys me he has the choice)
then regrettably over the coming
season or however long it is he will no doubt tarnish his reputation even
further than he already has done.
If the Gunners can add defensive solidity to the team moving forward as that remains their glaring weakness as evidenced by their defensive record in the Premier League so
far this
season,
then all concerned will surely be hopeful that it leads to success on the pitch which is the most important thing.
This is on what these two are truly arguing; Wenger uses the cup as an example against Neville but Neville isn't really belittling our ability to win games, but rather, that in the long run of a whole
season it is more likely for us to drop points due to relying purely on skill which is
far more linked to form
then something like physicality.
Needless to say, Arsenal are
far stronger
then 3
seasons ago.
Some Arsenal fans have not been happy with the club for keeping Arsene Wenger as our manager for some time now and even though the pressure may have been taken off the Frenchman by the team ending the long trophy drought and
then backing it up with back to back FA cup wins at Wembley, the failure so
far this
season to take advantage of the struggles of the Premier League big boys has brought it all back with a bang.
If we fail to win the ucl
then wenger should leave, but we all know we can't win ucl under wenger, its shocking that he is still managing arsenal, fickle fans will want to give him another chance if we go
far in this ucl
season and easily forgetting past disappointments, I will watch this match with no expectation if we win I will be happy but won't get carried away with 1 victory.
1) Ten years without a significant trophy yet the Manager is never questioned 2) Selling off key «World beater» Players
season after
season and replacing them with mediocre at best replacements 3) Keeping a 33 % shareholder who is one of the world's richest men AND a true football fan as
far away from the board as possible 4) Charging possibly the highest prices in Europe but NOT reinvesting within the team in any really significant way 5) Classing 4th place in the EPL as a trophy 6) Boasting of a # 100 million war chest for transfers
then quibbling over a few hundred thousand on deals.
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
It is a shame that Arsene Wenger will not see the star of the
season for Arsenal so
far until later this week, as Alexis Sanchez plays for Chile tomorrow night and
then has a long flight back to London.
I thought people here were debating about two or three
seasons back why he should be our top striker.When I thought the Monaco match was the icing on the cake to show how average he was it seems just like Wenger we» will never learn our lesson.Now people our okay with him being a super sub which is debatable.Giroud was a super sub in games last
season because he wasn't played when he was supposed to.He's not your ideal super sub because he very hardly creates but rather requires people to create for him.Most of the time super subs are the one's who tend to create the chances and open up spaces in the opposition defence.West ham are ready to pay and hence we should demand more from them.We can
then use the money from his sale on
far better players.Given the same
seasons, time and chances a lot of average strikers can do better than what he did.This is because Arsenal create a lot of chances and it just needs someone who can finish.Goodbye!.
Doing brilliantly tho 19 goals in 30 games in league one
then 11 in 17 in the championship 30 goals so
far this
season.
I would have been more confident if this game was an evening kick off instead, purely because our away form this
season has been one of best in the league, (so
far) and If the lads some how manage to be awake for this one,
then we should beat the Utd scum.
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
It will be up to the England international to win them over, but given he has yet to make a single appearance so
far this
season, he'll have to get back to full fitness first, break into the side and
then prove that he's worthy of the show of faith from the club.
if we can convince ozil and alexis to stay and make a
further 3 - 4 quality signings,
then i do nt see why we can not win the league next
season?
Oli was not happy at the amount of game time last
season, and surely if Arsenal bring in even more competition
then he is likely to be sidelined even
further.
If both are really fit
then I would go for Coqualan as he deserved to start with his performance so
far this
season.
Why are we looking at Smalling?Lets get Auba over the line first and
then address CB and CDM positions.If it means waiting until the end of the
season to get Top Top quality
then we will have to get through till
then with what we have got.Its
far better to identify the players who will improve us and get them in than to bring in makeshift's for the sake of it.
And wins win you the PL Title Our defense including goalkeeper have been excellent and they have been giving us chances of winning but we end up losing or drawing many times because our goal scorers have been misfiring In my opinion, our strikers have been letting down the great work of Cech, bellerin, koscielny, Mert, Moneal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramey, and especially our Assist leader Ozil Mahrez and Vardy in particular have been dynamite this
season for Leicester So
far in terms of our Offense only Ozil, and Cazorla have been been of the same quality but they aren't goal scorers per se If Welbeck, Alexis, Walcott and Giroud can start scoring,
then things can change Hopefully, they can start tomorrow COYG
If he is worth that money for his return so
far well
then it would seem they'll still likely get the same price next
season, whether or not he plays or even flops for that matter.
I am equally relaxed with the notion that if Coquelin is given a chance next
season then there is good reason to assume he will improve
further.
He's NOT god he's NOT infallable, fine we are all only human but to deny there are better players out there than the ones he has is 1) arrogant and 2) a plain lie To justify the teams failing using the same old rhetoric year in year out while attempting to justify why improvements were not made (by stying in budget and spending the touted «war chest money») is again pure arrogance, (I would say stupidity but AW is
far from stupid) and
then to blame this
seasons failure on the fans attitude is just blatantly direspecting people who in a large part pay part of his wages.
If we only make 1 signing, and let's assume it is Cech,
then we will finish next
season no better than this
season except maybe we make it 1 step
farther in the CL.m
