Not exact matches
Wenger has mostly used the second string
squad at the start of any season to great effect, most teams aren't at full strength or match
fit and he plays that Wengerball numbers game, throwing
in squad players who are
fit and raring to go whilst the first team get ready, we'll win 2 of our 3 opening games and he'd rather that than splash 100m on 3 players and get the same amount of points.
We should be
in for the likes of Griezmann AND every other world class player that
fits our method of playing, Ive said it time and time again our
squad is only half world class the rest are mediocre at best (yes I know Ill get thumbed down ect by all the AKB's on site) but the results over the last ten years are proof alone that we are NOT good enough to compete with the other Elite teams.
Eriksen would be a good
squad player but don't see him
in our 1st X1 if everyone is on form and
fit.
most of these decisions is him wanting to develop a player and try to
fit him
in, but ends up disrupting the
squad, or even destroying another player
in the process (arshavin, Gervinho)
Because we now have almost all the
squad back
fit for the run -
in!!
We are more than capable of scoring goals against them, add
in the similar tactics used against Bayern Munich (at the Emirate) and we could easily take a two or three goal lead into the second leg... that's If we have a fully
fit squad come February, Of course!
I think if LACAZETTE can keep this up, he's going to claim a place
in the french world cup
squad next year, his goal scoring instinct is sharp, he knows he won't get too much chances and makes use of the few ones he gets and he was unluncky not to have scored against chelsea and his header wasn't a fluke, he knew where the post were and he directed the ball, he will be handful for defender when our complete
squad starts and luckily for us he's not an injury prone player, having him, Sanchez (if he stays), Giroud and Ozil
fit will be vital for us this season and i see plenty of goals..
If Diaby can stay
fit which is highly unlikely unfortunately I would sign him for another 2 years the rest need replacement and are blocking transfers
in the
squad.
All we can do now is play every game like a final, cover our
fit players
in wool and pray to God players like Ramsey, Xhaka, Ox, Gibbs, and Cech hit form along with the rest of the
squad.
Wenger realises the need to rotate the
squad to keep them
fit for extra matches, but achieves that through selling / loaning infinitely more players than he gets
in.
The problem remains the same the depth
in the
squad is not as good as it seems... sure Cazorla & Wilshere were not
fit but we're talking about attacking midfielders an area where we're staked!
But the rest of the
squad when
fit is far better than the
squad players we had back
in those days.
In a fully
fit Arsenal
squad — He may not even get a place on the bench..
Arsenal are blessed with with a large
squad of performing stars at present, and with Olivier Giroud
fit and ready to return, there could be argument for a switch
in tactics.
Having said that we have a lot of players away on international duty and highly unlikely they will all come back
fit we always pick up 1 or 2 injuries so we may have important players missing as well fingers cross for a change we have no injuries and everyone
fit for liverpool game also we should have arteta, chamberlain and wilshire all
fit to be
in the
squad!
Once Gabriel is
fit again
in about 2 months that's Mustafi (pending), Chambers, Holding, Gabriel, Koscielny all on
squad.
Even if we don't and we have to play one of the group winners, Wenger has the January transfer window to strengthen any positions that we are light
in (cough, DM, cough) and barring any more bad luck we should have a full strength
squad with key players like Walcott, Debuchy and Ramsey back and fully
fit.
With Alexis now as the main star
in a very strong looking
squad, when
fit, Wenger might well find his job of persuading big name players to head to north London a whole lot easier.
Joel Matip is likely to be
in the
squad, but the
fitter pair of Dejan Lovren and Ragnar Klavan look more likely to line up at the heart of the defence.
We really miss Santi there and the backup option of Coquelin again doesn't
fit the idea of dominating teams with possession by putting a player who's success
in the
squad came from breaking the play of the opposing team.
The Arsenal
squad, or those players that are
fit and ready at least, have two more friendly games to go
in the pre-season schedule, so hopefully the Gunners will perform well against Viking FK this evening and then Manchester City on Sunday.
Harry Kane and Harry Winks have been forced to withdraw from the England
squad for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and Brazil, and will be
in a race against time to be
fit to play against Arsenal
in next weekend.
In a
fitting scenario both Free Agent
squads kicked off their first Playoff runs against one another.
Having as close to a fully -
fit squad at his disposal would have been ideal for the run -
in to end the year, but instead, he'll potentially have to continue to make do without Lallana for a while longer again.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt
in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that
fit the system he ran when Henry was
in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened...
in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss
in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had
in Real and with the German National
squad... unfortunately he ended up on a
squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him
in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him
in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences
in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is
in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
Arteta is
fit again but has not been included
in the match day
squads so does this tell you that he will be off as well?
Let's hope the Arsenal centre back isn't too badly injured and that he's
fit and ready to play
in the New Year, when the title fight will become more intense and we need to be confident for our assault on the Champions League, but we have a deep and talented
squad and should really be able to live without just one player shouldn't we?
You cant escape he fact that Podolski was played rarely and when he was he was played out of position much the same way that Wenger has assembled a
squad of players most of which are a talented bunch, but, Wenger has failed to build a team who
fit n with each other, we have a midfield that overtly populated with players who al excel
in the same role BUT have no solid defensive midfield talent and no options
in defence when players have crap periods or are long term injury problems.
Weigl will
fit into that strategy too, but it's added that Barca will face fierce competition from Guardiola who is also desperate to add the youngster to his
squad in Manchester.
This time around though we'll have a fully
fit squad, coming off the back of a good end to the last season, so I expect a different start than last year where we didn't manage 2 wins
in a row till November or December was it?
we need to have a strong start & start with a very strong
squad from the beginning isntead of the regular rubbish we are used to, signing players late, kolasinac, Mahrez,, a quality CB (tho per surprised me
in the FA Cup final), a world class CM if Santi carzola & wilshere fail to stay
fit and one CF to replace dead wood like sanogo & akpom....
Wilshere getting injured isn't new just how after Wenger does not sign a capable CF for the 4th season
in a row and we finish 4th this season you will see the SAME PEOPLE around this SAME TIME next year who said the
squad was good enough, you'll see there will be no injuries if everyone stays
fit so we don't need to sign players or we don't really need any striker we have Giroud (a player better than Rooney and Henry who it is very very very very HARD to find any better player than him and whom some fans here will discount any other player better than him to prove he is good enough).
Walcott will be back
in the
squad, but i doubt he will be match
fit for such a big game.
We have a deep
squad if
fit and a few additions are needed just to complete the whole
squad in general but i think we all forget who we are... we are The Arsenal, we make players with potential to stars 80 % of the time!
Its not often I read one of your comments Budd and nod my head
in agreement but on this I have to say yu are 100 % on the money Afobe will MAYBE a to notch plyer one day but right now we didthe right thing letting him go, the only thing that I will say is that we have always let players go when the world asked why and on hindsight have been proven right, HOWEVER why have we had players like Diaby on the books when it was clear he would never ever be
fit enough to fulfil his potential and why on earth have we currently got Sanogoals or Wellbeck on our books whe its obvious to all and their mothers that neither of these kids will ever be anything other than average
squad players at best.
Others could point to injuries — key players like Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and David Alaba sat out the game
in midweek, while other members of the
squad were not fully
fit after only recently returning.
While they may not all be available for selection this weekend, and may even find themselves
in a battle to get back into the starting line - up, the fact that Wenger will have close to a fully -
fit squad at his disposal will be a major boost for Arsenal.
Picking Mourinho's best - ever XI — how to
fit in so much talent?Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho looks like has one of the best
squads of his career at the moment, with the Blues starting this Premier League season
in superb fashion with four wins from their first four.
Just as importantly, he seems to have

squad is going to goall out to win a trophy this year.
And how did they
fit into a weirdly unbalanced
squad that was simultaneously bloated and thin, and
in desperate need of reliable reinforcement at both ends of the pitch?

fit, I'd expect his role
in the
squad would be more similar to that of Edu — he still comes out a loser currently, but he's a lot closer to Edu
in overall quality.
«If» the Arsenal
squad stays
fit and
in form we don't need any more signings.
Guardiola will undoubtedly look to stamp his mark on the
squad this summer, and that will involve selling players who don't
fit his style and signing individuals with certain characteristics that can slot
in and play the role that he needs.
United would arguably represent the best possible
fit in England for Ibrahimovic given what he can bring and what would be around him

Arsenal
squad (2014 - 15): Won FA cup Arsenal
Squad in summer of 2015: Poldi out, Two goalies out, Flamini is gonna go, Jack Wilshere
in injured, Alexis is not match
fit, Giroud doesn't know where goal is, Ramsey only loves to scores he forgets his midfield role.
He's one of those players who you'd think is almost guaranteed a starting role when
fit, but if others are pressing for his position
in the
squad, Cazorla may no longer get to start.
