I'm starting to believe there are some people here who have a crush on Xhaka want to brain wash others with his display regardless good or bad and today he was clearly terrible and made two fatal mistakes and if compared to Elneny the later made the 1st goal assist and almost not one touch wrong on the ball despite
the few back and side passes which were necessary against a team playing zone defense intimidating any Arsenal player on the ball

The Chelsea team of Jose Mourinho went a long time unbeaten a
few years
back and Man City have looked a bit unbeatable at the start of this season
and the last one, but the only
side yet to lose an EPL game so far this season is Tottenham
and it just so happens that our north London rivals are heading to the Emirates to face Arsenal next.
Arsenal already have Nacho Monreal
and Kieran Gibbs as options at left -
back, though the latter lost his place in Arsene Wenger's
side this season, while Monreal's improved form has attracted some whispers of interest from La Liga duo Atletico Madrid
and Athletic Bilbao, according to claims by the Daily Express in the last
few days.
A
few years down the line
and certainly one of those players has gone on to become a star of the
side, with Laurent Koscielny not just becoming one of the best centre
backs at Arsenal, nor in the Premier League, but generally in football worldwide.
The gross mismanagement of Arsenal during June - Aug of this year is currently my feature case as a prototype of the worst possible bungling of personnel resources
and mis - assignment of employee resources to roles (as just a
few of many possible examples, sitting Kola & Laca last match, starting Welbeck who couldn't hit the broad
side of a barn, playing Bellerin at LWB, third straight laughable team assignments in a row, seriously considering loaning out our 2nd best center
back, letting multiple key players enter the final year of contract, etc etc etc) imaginable.
The Arsenal boss could argue that his
side finished the previous campaign in top form,
and would have wanted to disrupt that as little as possible, but Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain was a big part of our system which was firing a
few months
back,
and he was allowed to leave without a replacement being signed.
What's up with Coqhelin he has got better
and better if he gets a
few more games he will be as good as any one that you could buy his value now has put him in the 10 million bracket at 23 he has passed Flamini past Arteta
and could well be a new Vera lets get behind him now we don't need another, with Ramsey Wiltshire Oxy to rotate fill the left
side get Milner from City, centre
back Chambers drop Mertisacker for a while CB
With Lyon unlikely to bring him in permanently
and Sporting Lisbon having shown
few signings of wanting Lopes
back at the club, Tottenham could be able to negotiate a bargain deal with the Portuguese
side.
Wenger does seem to be launching a charm offensive to try
and get the fans
back on his
side before the new season,
and to get a
few top - class players in early will go a long way to achieving that goal.
However on the
back of those
few dodgy displays, it seems that Arsene Wenger is once again considering a loan move for Jenkinson
and apparently former
side West Ham United are interested in acquiring his services once again.
I just relish the idea he'll be competing with chambo for that
side wing
back and I'd really like for him to concentrate more on improving this season cause he cost us a
few games last season with lack of concentration
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
this window has just finished i am already thinking about who we will get for the january window we might try for khedira on a really low offer as he is free agent almost would help boost numbers in midfield in the new year as we will no doubt need to filling the numbers about then also i will hold my hands up
and say i was wrong this morning for giving wenger stick
and saying welbeck is rubbish i have been out in the cold light of day
and had a chance to reevaluate the situation
and realized that this could be a canny shrew transfer on wenger behalf actually if wenger can turn the clock
back and work his magic on welbeck
and get him scoring goals
and improve his game then we could have a great underrated signing on our hands its wengers absolute trust in him that might be what makes him a great player as this is something that he never had at old mordor if anybody can make him a world beater wenger can he loves this little pet projects improving players against the odds welbeck has the skillset to be high class player upfornt he just needs to work very hard on his finishing i think once he gets a
few goals under his belt he will settle in fine
and he is a team player you could put him on the left against man city to shore up that
side and he will put in a great shift without a complaint that could be his biggest asset to us or on the right whenever we need him there ithinkwenger might start himon the left against city to protect the left
back against navas
and i bet you if he does a great job we will take a shine to him quickly i am hopeing he will be one of those wenger gems that he finds
and polishes up to a high finish i must admit i was annoyed as some other gunners were at not signing d / m
and c / h but if wenger does win the league with this lot it will be his greatest win yet
and what might play in to our hands is the unpredictable nature of the league in the last
few seasons if we get on a good run at the right time we might be hard to stop look at city they should have never lost to stoke but the result is there in black
and white for all to see
and i think chelsea will hit the skids after a while to just because cesc
and costa are doing well now thats there main threat but teams will work out how to stop them as the season goes on
and chelsea will become predictable i think we might just do well this season after all
A world class left -
back for Arsenal
and Chelsea, Ashley Cole is easily into this
side and is one of
few who would probably make an all - time best XI anyway.
Scott Sinclair spent five years trying to make the grade at Chelsea, being sent out on loan moves to no
fewer than six
sides before the Bath born adaptable forward opted to make a # 500k move to South Wales
and hasn't looked
back since.
Chambers - Paid a lot of money for a young player with little experience in regards First Team
and Premiership games.He looked a good prospect
and because of injuries to the squad he found himself playing very soon into his Arsenal career.This caught up with him a bit as did playing with different CB partners
and filling in at full
back.Form dipped
and was out of the
side till a year long loan move to Boro.He was playing every week
and despite them going down he was one of their best
and consistent players.He has been indifferent since coming
back but has looked better in last
few games he has played.I believe there is a very decent centre
back in this player
and would not describe him as a bad buy at all.
At least our right
back Carl Jenkinson played every minute for the England under 21
side and he was one of the
few bright spots in England's latest tournament failure.
Chances were
few and far between in the first half, with the best falling to Harry Kane, as the England star saw his well - struck effort cannon
back off the post as both
sides went in level.
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted
and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters
and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak
and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it,
few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long
and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a
few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed
and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy
and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we get
back to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important
side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic
and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy
and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
Now I think there is still reasons to be cheerful, I agree Man C & Chelski have spent & bought some good players, we all understand that 5 of those teams might be in the CL proper which is a huge distraction for those 4 - 5 teams.Chelsea will not be able to field the same 13 - 14 players all season, as for Man C they were very frail at the
back last season, add to that 2 flying wing
backs and I'm not sure they will be any better this coming season.LFC will most probably have CL as well if they qualify
and haven't exactly bought great players apart from Salah who could be a good aquasistion for them.Spuds have sold a good player & strengthened a rival & still not bought a single player yet, Man U have bought 2 good players & in Lukaku have a proven goal scorer in the PL but if they play the same dour way they did last season & with the added games the CL brings will they perform week in week out in the league??? As for Everton yes they have released a lot of players
and also brought in a lot too to give better quality in the squad as they have Europa league the same as US the big difference is I think we will play squad players & youngsters maybe with a
few senior players all the way up to the QF This tells me most of our rivals will pave the way for us to field pretty much the same
side every weekend in the PL thus giving us an advantage over all the other 5 teams playing in the CL & Europa, just remember the League has been won in the last 2 seasons by teams NOT in Europe YES we are this season but I think Wenger will put all his eggs in the League basket
and field an under strength
side in all comps hence focusing on the League until we are no longer in the race.
The experienced former Arsenal
and Manchester City man played a number of games for Brendan Rodgers»
side last season, but made a
few crucial errors
and is likely to have been pushed
back in the pecking order for a place in the Liverpool defence by the arrival of # 20m man Dejan Lovren from Southampton.
william, oscar, hazard, young, rooney, valencia, navas, milner, sanchez, ox, carzola, welbeck, to name a
few all aggressively track

Gk is not where efforts should be targeted if we are to move beyond third place nirvana
and actually challenge for top honours...

Southampton must be amazed that Liverpool didn't even bother to barter when they quoted # 75m for their defender Virgil van Dijk as Klopp is determined to stop leaking silly goals (like Arsenal do as well)
and were prepared to pay whatever the Saints demanded, so the South Coast
side can now look for a
few bargains to help them move
back up the table,
and local - boy Walcott could be high on the list of bargain buys.
Instead, we will now have to fave a Liverpool
side that is likely to be given renewed energy
and purpose under the boss that did so well for a good
few years by leading Borussia Dortmund to
back to
back German Bundesliga titles against the might of Bayern Munich.
Arsenal have a tough
few games ahead of them in the last weeks of November
and so we can not go into these games having been on the
back of a disappointing defeat against a struggling United
side.
Few observers will have Chelsea coming
back from a two - goal deficit with an attack that has repeatedly let Mourinho down in 2014,
and facing the first
side to score three goals past Petr Cech this calendar year.
With 2 goals in 1 assist in 8 starts, Boufal is one of the better forwards at Southampton
and against a Manchester United
side who have been far from their best at the
back in the last
few weeks, there is every chance that he could cause an upset in the weekend.
Only once before in the history of the Premier League has a
side collected
fewer points from their first eleven away games in a season than Burnley have
and that was QPR
back in the 2014/15 season.
I really hope that the OX turns out to be a great buy
and I'm proven wrong as I'm not a fan of this guy
and not sure How he improves our
side as I'm hearing he wanted Liverpool because he wants to play the CM role where as Chelsea would play him as a wing
back??? So let me get this right as been a busy
few days for our club??
If Mourinho can't get his players
back on
side,
and the likes of Sanchez
and Pogba performing on the pitch in the final
few weeks of the season, the United board have a huge decision to make on whether to persist for a third act.
Not sure anyone will be wanting to sign him next year for other than a
few million, He has had one good game so far this season
and seeing we have had a great start that does not sit well, Last week playing Tomks
and Reid in the middle was not good
and so far Tomks has played better at right
back because he concentrated more
and don't give me that not so good attacking view we don't need that with the midfield
and forwards we have
and I would prefer Kouyate going forward
and not having to worry about covering Jenks
back, Time for Oxford to have a game along
side Reid I think or Ginge, Maybe Jenks
and Noble need to watch from the bench for a week
and get a reality check, No I ain't saying get rid just a slap on the wrist to wake them up
Arsenal need to get
back to passing the ball one timers, one two's
and stretching teams with a
few balls down the
side channels
and if a defender gets a card go at them until they get carded again for goodness sakes.
There are
few full -
backs better at springing forward on the counter-attack than Rodriguez, who's created 27 chances
and scored two goals in the league this season for his struggling
side.
Nevertheless the Manchester United captain has shown great spirit to come
back to form after the turn of the year,
and has ably lead his
side to a
few victories.
Chelsea won both games between the
sides last season
and interestingly they have been one of the
few teams to beat them during their great run, a 3 - 1 win in this fixture
back in April.
Closed down by one of the Brighton forwards, the return ball to the other centre -
back closed off by the other forward
and the easy balls into midfield
and to their
side's full -
back cut out by the Brighton winger
and midfielder, the centre -
back had
few options to pass out from the
back — Laurent Koscielny in particular was struggling, giving the ball away several times on the edge of his area, with one instance leading to the second goal.
Leeds have a
few new faces in the
side and they are absolutely in positions of need, with the club hopefully finally finding a replacement for Charlie Taylor at left
back and with Eunan O'Kane suspended after his mindless red card against Ipswich Town
and questions surrounding Ronaldo Vieira's fitness meaning that Forshaw will likely be needed in the middle of the pitch as well.
Whilst Brazil qualified way
back in March, fans of the European Finalists Italy had a
few frustrating nights watching their national
side play on socagol, with the team losing to Spain,
and now set for a tricky play - off tie against Sweden to get through to the World Cup.
Mendy is a left
back, he has featured in 33 games for the French
side this season, scored one goal
and provided no
fewer than 10 assists.
Both of last seasons matchups between the
sides saw four goals hit the
back of the net
and no
fewer than seven of those were for Swansea as they completed the double.
But Allegri battened down the hatches, settled on a 3 -5-2 system, got his key players
back from injury
and — within a
few improbable months — his
side was
back in a title race.
