games they lose?

stoke and is always in hide mode when he plays vs them.
So still being able to record a win over them under David Moyes, when they were losing
games to the
likes of Sunderland, Swansea,
Stoke and the Spuds, suggested that the Gunners had a mental block.
wenger needs 2 be cautious with ozil rotate him regularly don't play in away
games especially against physical teams
like stoke use him more in home
games given that refs never favor us while playing away Oscar made several tackle 7 got a yellow card in 88th min while chabers got his yellow after making his 2nd challenge
I for one do not think so as there are teams
like Stoke that are all about the physical aspect of the
game and how close have they been to the title?
Our bigger issue is making sure not lose
games like the one against Bournemouth or
Stoke.
Just
like in the last campaign our first three matches include
games against Leicester and Liverpool abnd sandwiched in between is the generally disappointing away clash with
Stoke City.
Stoke City Bournemouth Brighton Watford Swansea Nottingham Forest If we had performed away from home in these
games like we did tonight then we would be 3rd in the Premiership just 2points behind Manure and most likely in the FA Cup Quarter Finals.
It's you guys that have been going on about Arsenal having much possession and losing
games, but now we have 35 % possession against teams
like Villa, Swansea,
Stoke, Palace, Spuds etc but win the
games» blah blah.
lets all calm down yeah, west ham lost today because they got cocky and tried to beat us by playing football we should be beating these teams why we celebrating
like we just beat chelsea or something, if we win our next 3
games than i will be impressed (next
games saints,

like parking the bus stuff

Stoke City tomorrow is now looking
like a must win
game with all the added pressure that our precarious situation brings.
Then Le coq playing with him in
games we don't need to lose
like Stoke or the scum on Sunday.
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 sign

the club is getting a weeks rest before facing
Stoke City, and it looks
like Flamini could well be ready to return to the squad for next Sunday's
game at the Emirates.
that's what is hilarious, he literally spits on our faces and says» you don't know anything i have managed over 1000 amount of
games» but can't even beat middle team club
like stoke in 8 attempts or beat mouth - rinho in 13 attempts, he think's he's amazing but he is actually embarrassing, he is getting us thrashed REGULARLY, the only team that hasn't completely embarrassed us are the spuds, I actually can't understand how fans didn't riot when arsene went to rome for charity matches when we needed him the most, I'm not even angry at him anymore, how can a man so proud let moroninho call him a «specialist in failure» and just prove him right time and time again, not only will it benefit arsenal for arsene to leave but it will also help the man himself, do the right thing and take a walk mate
As well as some fantastic
games and results, Arsenal managed to drop points against the
likes of Sunderland, Swansea,
Stoke, Crystal Palace and West Brom and we paid the heaviest possible price for that inconsistency, as the more consistent but less talented Leicester City swooped in and took the Premier League trophy.
neither arteta nor flamini is good enough to play for arsenal per mertasacker should be our 4th choice cb he can play well against less technical more physical teams
like stoke but he is not good enough in big
games we need 1 - 2 cdm's / cb's what will happen in jan only time will tell
Need keep winning, we need be ready for cska cause we need get back into champions league as for fans that do want watch the
stoke game yer not true arsenal fans I'd never miss arsenal
game unless I had go funeral
like really some arsenal fans make me sick ya very bad season but I think we have plans in place or why would ozil sign new contact he sees the plans ahead and
likes wat he sees otherwise he would be gone so come on arsenal send
stoke championship with shawcross and do job on cska cause we need bring lead bk to Russia and let's get bk into champions league oh and I'd
like say if we get atl Madrid trust me over 2 legs or in final arsenal can beat them u wait see it's just or confedence was shot

like for example — not being able to win a
game against Chelsea, Man Utd,
Stoke and Southampton away!
This means that although they'll allow other teams to at least engage in a
game of football as opposed to a war of attrition that you might expect from the
likes of Hughes»
Stoke or West Ham (or many of the teams Allardyce has managed in his career....
Anyway id welcome both Giroud and Lacazette, Giroud brings physicality up top and is great in the air he does score lots of headers and in tough away
games against the
likes of
Stoke and West Brom he's a good tool to have..
A player
like Flamini won't play for
Stoke city Westham Everton Swansea Saints Westbroom even at Blackpool he will struggle to get
games.
Other teams
like Stoke and Sunderland try not to lose the
game, so they make themselves more difficult to beat and rarely go forward.
The
likes of
Stoke, Burnley, Hull, Crystal palace, Middlesborough, Liverpool have all done them our given them a hard
game..
In some
games, he plays simply to nick a point,
like in this
Stoke game.
Yeah we won yesterday because team played as a unit and fought hard and this is a very good sign because have lost these kind of physical
games in past
like against
stoke city but we deservedly won the
game and now hoping for chelse to lose or atleast a draw and a draw between manchester clubs...
We failed to beat sides
like Liverpool,
Stoke and even the worst Chelsea side ever in the last 3
games.
Bellerin completely out of position again, when just
like in the
Stoke game, you have FOUR better options for the LWB position.
There are one or two more u21s that are going to have to see first action this season, the
likes of moore, bielik, pleguezuelo, oconnor, kamara, Bennacer, iwobi and reine - adelaide look sure to join Macey and iliev in competing to make up the numbers, especially after our usually injury ravaged squad returns from international break, but hey don't worry, after a bruising from
Stoke, we only have 4 away
games against Zagreb, spurs, Chelsea and Leicester to deal with, 3 defeats there could see our season resting on the fa cup again and we won't even be in October!!!!
Mate I can guarantee that if the going gets tough out there against
Stoke at home, Özil will go hiding and cower on the sideline
like he does every other tough
game he plays in.
Certainly that is our challenge this year, to continue to do well against the top teams but as well in these kind of
games,
like Stoke today, where you have to win and we dropped some points last year.»
Story for the gods... they don't need Van Persie to beat us, just get some kids off the streets in a Man U, Chelski or hell, even Monaco kit, top it up by putting the moaning one [or just about any brash folk
like Berbatov] in the picture and we are in deep s ** t, our players will quake in their boots and lose the plot; we only beat Man City «cos their manager is almost as studious and gentlemanly as our prof. kindly remind me of one feisty
game we've won in recent times, ok maybe
Stoke [it took a broken leg to Ramsey and constant harassment before our players thought it was necessary to stand up to
Stoke].
It might seem a little unfair on our replacement keeper David Ospina, as the Colombian international has not conceded a single goal in those
games against Hull City and
Stoke City and has only just been given his own chance after recovering from the injury he brought with him to Arsenal from the World Cup finals, but it sounds
like Arsene Wenger is really trying to build a strong competitive spirit between his two main shot stoppers.
Further you mention Kolasinac and Mert being available, it's not
like they weren't available in the
game against
Stoke, so why weren't Mert played and why was Kolasinac not playing in his actual position?
If the Gunners were not facing a
game like the away clash with
Stoke City, where we always get a big physical challenge and have struggled to get anything from
games in recent years, then I very much doubt whether the boss would think of taking a gamble on the fitness of Alexis.
Unnecessary to risk Sanchez against a physical side
like Stoke, keep him on he bench and play Campbell who's been getting better with each
game and successfully kept us challenging in the absence of our no17.
Just
like our
game against Hull City in the FA cup, we ran a strong
Stoke side ragged in what was arguably our best performance of the season.
Whenever the
likes of Alexis (Sanchez), Walcott and Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain leads the line in tandem with the creative talent of Mesut Ozil in midfield Arsenal's attacking foray's are difficult to deal with, and it was evident as
Stoke struggled to contain Arsenal as they made their quality count in the
game.
Vs
stoke our bench alone had the likes Ozil, Ramsey and Theo... any1 that Stoke would've dreamt of havin in their starting line up... but Man C will be a diff ball game... I still think we can beat them though, they not in the best of form... we jes need Sanchez commitment from all our players... did Yaya Toure leave for Afcon tournament as

If let players bully u then so will the ref u have to start small with kicking off and lashing out get a few reds then they know not to mess then u name and shame refs in the media and put pressure on them etc soon enough u have the respect u deserve but if u don't even appeal for ur own penalty shouts and never complain or lash out now and then we'll the refs in England will think u don't care and won't give u nothing just
like stoke game even zidane who was the best player head butted some one for not respecting him u earn respect
Refs don't
like giving us the advantage because we're difficult to play against, they let the
likes of
Stoke play as rough and dirty as they can to make the
game more «entertaining», most of the challenges you see here would never be accepted in Spain or Germany hence why their teams are on a whole other level when it comes to technical ability.
Arsenal were absolutely amazing in todays
game against
Stoke and it looked
like a practise
game against an U21 side, except for the brilliant performance of the
Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland.
Then when you have a bad
game at least you don't concede, just
like we did at Sunderland and
Stoke.
We already know that the
likes of Ozil, Carzola have easily been found out and wanting in
games (and again, not just in big
games)
Stoke, Sunderland et al aren't going to be worried about a tricky player with a low centre of gravity and a few tricks in his bag.
If we want to stand a chance of having a free scoring
game we must not play the
likes of Ramsey, Ozil or Carzola on the flanks, since they have the tendency to cut into the center which
stoke will pack with a lot of bodies.
In
games with tighter lines, there are two contrarian «favorites» who I
like to win at home: Newcastle +120 vs. Watford, and Crystal Palace +105 vs.
Stoke City.
