The versatile
defensive weapon has
found his route to a centre -
back spot blocked by Daley Blind this term, and has only been used to fill the left -
back berth following the long - term injury suffered by Luke Shaw during Man United's Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven last week.
The guy had a great game v west ham but his ego lets him down, but Wenger his comments on the
defensive cock ups, it is the same comments on all the losses so surely he needs to rectify the prob Number one drop the BF German that can't head a ball can't run he is a liability every time he puts on the shirt even Debuchy jumps higher than him Gibbs can't defend he is a nice guy but not first choice L

Defenders is the route to go, England Ireland Wales and Scotland, I'm willing to bet that you could
find a
defensive line or two which would stand up to most big nations
back lines, even if not quite as good I think it would be not far off.
Cech Holding, Mert, Monreal Bellerin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Gibbs Walcott or Ox, Sanchez, Welbeck 3,4,3 or the wingers and fullbacks can drop
back, 5,4,1 Very
defensive but nice pace on the counter and enough talent to control the tempo seeing as though Xhaka and Ramsey are
finding some form and can make those long passes or push forward themselves.
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)
Your right and at the moment we are playing with NO DM.Xhaka is being
found out with his total lack of
defensive duties resulting in goals against due to him continually failing to track
back with his man.I watched Fernandinho this evening against Bristol City and that player epitomises the role that he is there for.Sre you telling me these players are not there?Over to you Sven and Raul
Arsenal need new good goalkeeper bcos is one of area have a major problem this season and two good young centre
back and
defensive midfielder who will always help to cover for centre midfielder and this three area is most problem arsenal facing recently and please is a major to
find solution on them.
We fixed our
defensive part from
back to middle later on but we couldn't
find RVP replacement until Alexis came.
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

defensive midfield and give Chambers and Holding a run together at centre
back in a flat

Defensive planning?Just what is Bould contributing?
Ozil in a way is our Messi — You do nt
find Messi tracking
back as much, yet he doesn't get criticised for not doing so, cause his job in the team is to create and score and he does that brilliantly by reserving his energy to do so.I do understand the the PL requires alot more of players defensively, but Mahrez ai nt exactly a good
defensive player yet he does his job for the team that's most probably going to win the PL this season.
He will be faster, more penetrative, some goals in there and will shield the four
back players not out of brute force but intelligence... He will not be a
defensive midfielder, but a deep positioned play maker... A Xavi of Barcelona and the 4.1.4.1 AW attempted and
found Arteta too isolated could now work with a hard working Ramsey... imagine a 25 year old Arteta converted to his present role... definately he would be more effective than what we have today.
The former Ajax man started his Arsenal career brightly but for the past 18 months he has

Young centre -
back Varane

I think Ox at Right wing
back could excel and with the extra
defensive responsibilities that entails maybe he can finally mature and
find his position!
Ozil needs to be played more centrally if we hope to benefit from his creativity with the ball and Welbeck's first touch is far too sloppy to be played along side Lacazette... we need to
find a formation which allows more service to those making runs from the middle of the pitch... Lacazette can not play so much with his
back to goal or we're simply playing the same unsuccessful offensive scheme we played with Giroud, who is much better in that type of role... I can only hope we keep Sanchez and purchase a true
defensive midfielder then switch to a 4 -4-1-1, which allows us to have Ozil play more centrally with Sead and Sanchez on the left side and Ox and Bellerin on the right, which would stretch defences so much that we could overwhelm most opponents with both runs in behind and overlapping runs out wide
Until we
find our
defensive stability, Coquelin should be brought
back in the starting X1, in the hope that he
finds his form of 2015 - 2016.
Even with Arsenal having allowed Jack Wilshere to go and join Premier League club AFC Bournemouth on loan for the season and with Aaron Ramsey not expected
back in action from his hamstring injury until next weekend, the Arsenal
defensive midfielder Francis Coquelin could well
find himself sat on the bench today as the Gunners play host to Southampton.

back in November against Chelsea, Mourinho has struggled to
find that consistent
defensive partnership, something which has led to some disappointing results both in the league over the Christmas period and in the League Cup quarter - final loss to Bristol City
back in December.
I could possibly see a way for Spearing to come
back into the first team, especially if Lennon struggles to
find a
defensive midfielder in the summer transfer window with his probably limited funds, but with Spearing having another two years to go on his contract, I'd imagine the club will try and recuperate some of the funds that were spent on him to boost Lennon's transfer coffers.

back, and he could
find the going tough against the quick - footed Theo Walcott, which means that the

defensive frailties Arsenal have shown makes me think Leicester can

back of the onion bag.
With Sunderland displaying
defensive fragilities on numerous occasions this year much to the frustration of coach Martin O'Neill who prides himself on how his teams are difficult to beat, it could well be the day when multiple chances fall Robin Van Persie's way and after rediscovering his goal scoring touch for Holland there is little doubt the club's top scorer will
find the
back of the net for the twentieth time this season.

find it difficult to adjust.
Wide midfielders and full -
backs are often instructed to «pass on» wingers who cut inside to their
defensive midfield colleagues, but if those wingers are followed by full -
backs doing exactly the same thing, the
defensive team can
find themselves overloaded.
As I mentionned above that ive just watched all the Arsenal game 2007 and 2008, Ive personnaly gave up with this idea of strngthenin our defence.Its obvious, we need CDM, and I strongly recommend Toure for that job, but finally, I
found out our main PBM: AW is a man who beleives in: THE BEST DEFENCE IS ATTACKIN.He has built the team that way.When I watched our 2007 games, i could see that most of these teams who has defeated us this season played exactly the same style of game last season but they couldnt perform so much as our attackin side were so strong for them so that they were always held at their own
defensive side.The game is completely Psycological.At the 1st 10mn of the game, they try to attack @their best, but just when we start attackin then all their mdlfldr start to pull
back coz most of our attack are all dangerous.And this is what makes the diffrence between the so called BIG 4 and the rest of the league.The Pbm isnt really that our defence is so weak, It is our attack which is WEAK.Durin the first half of this season, Our guys couldnt perform any attackin strategy planned by AW, coz 1st: they were new to it, coz they have only practiced it durin trainin session.2 nd: Some of the key players are gone.3 rd: Even AW did nt know where exactly is the best position for those new players, the likes of Nasri, Vela, and some of them were all subsitute last year.Plus they are all young players who can improve and change their style game after game.

found ourselves
back in a

back to June 1995.
