I like to think of myself as a fairly rational individual, which is why what has and is going on at Arsenal confounds me... little wonder people have gone so far as to suggest that Wenger is actually sabotaging the club... one only needs to look at our starting 11 to stoke the flames of conspiracy... just think of the perceived importance of this game, considering the loss to Stoke, the historically significance of the two teams involved, the controversy that swirled around our two meetings last season, the proximity to the closing of the window and the general disdain being directed towards the manager once again... how is it even possible that you wouldn't come to Anfield with all guns blazing... not a single shot on target, with the back - up keeper in no less... where were the new signings?

It's also great that he's content with playing as either a striker or a winger, but in my opinion, with Iwobi and Walcott proving effective so far this season, why would it be right for one of them to be dropped so Alexis can move back out wide for the French forward to regain his place upfront.

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

Not much positive to be honest (one positive is Iwobi, and the other is Wenger benching Walcott and Giroud so far)... We have big ambitions for this club that why we need to get real...

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!.

In an Arsenal.com report Ramsey explains the reason why Arsenal fans have not seen the best of him so far this season.

Our BFG has played a lot more minutes on the pitch this season and he tried to find an explanation as to why Arsenal have struggled with performances and results so far, as revealed in a Daily Star report.

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

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?

Because it pretty clearly explains why we shouldn't put too much stock in how he's done so far this season, especially compared to how he's done in the past.

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.

City have ageing players hence why they're struggling this year but just watch next season when United bring in a new manager and the rich clubs buy new quality players, you will see how far behind we are to even be considered one of the best in Europe.

It's easy to see why Woodward is keen to bring «Auba» to United; the 26 - year - old has scored 20 goals in 20 games for BVB so far this season, and has also contributed four assists.

Some of us are confident of us making a league challenge, going so far as to say other teams are quaking in their boots because we signed Cech and our finish to last season, but as the transfer window stretches on it turns into anxious pleas, «why won't Wegner sign anyone».

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.

Also, if Ramsey were fit, I'd definitely have him in my first eleven... Ramsey could not play with Coquelin at the base of midfield because until most recently, he needed to have a ball carrier right next to him right after winning the ball and in most cases Ramsey was always very far from him but Cazorla is far more disciplined in positioning hence why «Coqzorla» works so well however with Xhaka, its quite different because he can carry and distribute his own balls and frees Ramsey up to roam which is where he thrives best, it is no coincidence that Ramsey had his best season playing with Arteta but while Arteta could also carry and distribute his own balls he is no ball winner like Xhaka or Coquelin.

Which is why the likes of Paul Scholes began to criticise him and lead to the widespread belief that this season is a huge one for our young England international, and it is so far so good for the midfielder.

You are dead right been saying it since he came waist of money and why late in changes says a lot about Wenger, he moans when last season not having subs, the bench was full and he left that tall Zulu up there doing nowt Bendtner was far better than him He is late in getting one all other teams have beaten arsenal in the striker position He can't honestly say Sonargo will do till Giruid gets back please tell me I'm wrong CB

However he really was not interested in defending much at the beginning of the season, and I think with alexis taking a bit of time to get into his stride and giroud and walcott being out he took it upon himself to score which in turn affected his defending, might even go as far as to say it's why santi is now playing box to box haha

It is hard to believe that Arsenal have now played four Premier League games so far this season and the only one of our star studded squad to get his name on the score sheet is Olivier Giroud, the player that a lot of Arsenal fans think is part man, part donkey and can not understand why Arsene Wenger keeps putting him in the team.

Why change after two back - to - back best performances of the season so far??? Let's play those three while we can.

He's showing us why he deserves to play, no doubt there are a good amount of fans that still question him, but so far this season he has been playing excellent.

but give us a solid analysis why our player of the season so far (yes he has been the most cultured player thus far) should give way, guess that's how we should be rewarding good performances, by being benched.

Instead of fixating on replacing Giroud to get maybe 4 - 6 extra goals a season (and contrary to accepted popular belief there are very few if any supporters who would be upset if an upgrade came in) why can't we a bit more imaginative about this; conceding 10 less goals could have won us the title just as easily, further refining our balance between defence and attack, building on the cohesion and fledgling confidence we have built - up may, just may, bring bigger benefits than ripping the spine of the team out and starting again.

Bitter why would i be bitter?im just not convinced by Wenger an the way he does things, ti notice how your comment was all waffle no facts, how come you didn't talk about Coquelin, a player i've been saying since last season wud do a much better job than Arteta.ow come Wenger didn't see it?Most honest fans know Arteta isn't good enough how come Wenger can't see that?Whats ur explanation?My point is Wengers so far gone he can't spot things we can
