Arsenal are recovering and slowly getting back some confidence and fluidity in their game, played 120 mins on sunday and needed to rotate various players who were obviously not fully recovered and who were certain» red flags» for muscular injuries if theyd started (ie, ox, ramsey, holding) Leicester did not deserve anything at all, they were ultra defensive, yes worked hard I agree but its easier to defend with 9 behind the ball for vast periods of the game.

When Ramsey is playing well and he gets back to defend then I think we see more out of Ozil and Xhaka, I thought Ozil played better at the end of the season than in the middle when the team imploded and that I do remember seeing Ramsey getting back more than he did in pre season Chelsea game, along with the extra CB to help win the ball back, it has meant Ozil can focus more on finding space ready for when his team mates have won the ball back.

I believe what makes cazorla the player he is, is the ball rarely gets lost at his feet, he can dribble in tight spaces or pass the ball for that clear cut chance, plays with his right or left, great at dead ball situation, accurate shooting, his tempo is amazing too he will slow it down or speed it up based on the circumstances, an intelligent player that can read the game a lack of pace but that means nothing when you are this talented!!

Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart for now

I hope we don't try to play the defensive game because they are dangerous in and around our box, they were unlucky not to score one or two more goals in the first leg at Emirates and if they find their confidence with home advantage and their fans getting behind them it could be curtains for us, i don't think they will allow us the same space as they did last week so lets take the game to them early and keep the ball in their half with high possession,

I can maybe understand a team sticking to their principles being only one goal down as a game draws to close, but when you're 2 - 0 down with the clock ticking, you clearly need a plan B. Plan A (get into the final third and make as many sideways passes as possible) hadn't worked at all against West Ham, and with say 10 minutes left, I couldn't believe we didn't just stick Mertesacker upfront with Giroud and hit long balls and early crosses!

Alexis has shown to go missing at times during games because although he is feisty and has strength to either drive forward with the ball at his feet, or to battle amongst his opponents, in terms of height he can often get pushed out of the game playing as a centre forward, much in the way that Walcott did when he had a go up front.

We have to play WHU 2 days after so resting Chambers to me would be ideal as we know WHU will pump balls into the box and we'll need arial dominance against WHU in our own box, also our fullbacks for that game will need to make sure they do nt get overloaded by their fullbacks... Just look at some of the crosses Jenkinson has been putting in (I know Jenkinson would be on our left, Gibbs side, WHU fullbacks have both been doing well though) I feel Chambers would get overloaded on there left (our right) but Debuchery has the experience to deal with it.

Holding did ok but Chambers was very cocky how many miss passes in dangerous areas did he miss place why didn't he booted the ball way down the field and take the pressure off at the first half the commentator spook of the inexperience of the defense and that liverpool did nt put enough pressure klopp rectified that straight away bang bang bang with runners and no protection while wenger face went all red with nothing to say the only thing that saved us really was the injuries for the game to take a change MR wenger is far to slow to fix things what is wrong with him he most not be in good health or something personnel worrying him cause after all he is the manager his got to have a fast thinking brain smell danger and act fast not seat and debate the issue with bold

For too long, we have been complacent, this team is only beginning to learn to fight non stop thanks to Alexis especially, he was mad at Giroud celebrating that equalizer instead of going for the kill, he was mad at Ramsey for being always to careless with the ball, some of us called it petulant behavior, some of us disagreed and called it an unrelenting appetite for the game, in the end Ramsey is becoming less complacent, we are learning to get on with the game until we secure a result, I can't imagine Sanchez would have joined in celebrating that infamous fourth place a few years back.

, Arsenal is not a charity, Arsenal is a football club trying to to win EPL, not a charity trying to help a player who is overated and useless, he got pay to play a football, not to operate patients and he got 75m a week to be able to pass the ball correctly, never mind score or assist, I get 480 # / week if my confidence is low my boss will give me a kick at back side to sort my self out or the door, we do not have to risk our chance of winning the game for a sake of Ox, bench him, the best player plays, we don't gonna miss is scoring ability or his assist, we will be less frustrated if he is on the bench typical English player!

Players scores Chech 8.5 top saves when needed Monreal 7 good steady game as always Mert 6 did ok The boss 6 looked tired Bel 7.5 good game needs work on crossing Walcot 5 did less than iwobi Cmpbell 7.5 worked hard, in front of ox and walcott anyway Flamini 7 steady Ox 4 poor all game not a clue how he gets a game Ramsey 5 very selfish player, if barca pay 50m take it and sigh Barkley for 35 Giroud 6.5 missed very good chance and doesn't hold the ball up at important times but had an ok performance Iwobi 7 did more than walcott in 15 mins Chambers not on long enough

Perhaps Rafa feels that the Pompey man could work well alongside Fernando Torres, something that was tried sparingly in 07/08 but I feel that England man has greatly improved his game at Fratton Park and has shown that he is more than just a lanky beanpole but is more than able to get the ball on the ground and play.

Costa is getting the ball at his feet all game because Chelsea is filled with superstars — this gives him 20 times the opportunities.

I'm sure I» am wasting my time trying to get you folk to actually «watch «his game.Basically a defender who doesn't know how to defend, unable to read the game, hopeless at set pieces and only wins the ball in the air when it is directed straight at him.

With the score tied at 101 apiece on ostensibly the game's final possession with the shot clock turned off, the Orlando Magic only had one job: safely get the ball inbounds.

He IS getting on at 38, but, as long as he is fit, not TOO slow, and, can use the ball out of defence, then, as a last resort in case of slight injuries, to come in for the odd game, Cups, then why not.

Wenger is forced to make a change as Monreal has a knock and Mustafi finally comes back but the game continues at full pace and after 6 minutes Maitland - Niles gives the ball away in the Liverpool corner and Salah gets it back uickly and finally gets a goal with a deflection off Mustafi.

Am not encouraging silly bookings though, Flamini been the ring leader of getting cards should be advised not to have a hot head each time, I was really frustrated in the last game were he got booked trying to retrieve the ball which he lost in the D area while we were like 2 or 3 nill up, not necessary at all as he had team mates around him too to help him.

Podolski doesn't track back etc, he is a striker first and last, let him do that, instruct the players to change tactics (I can feel Wenger cringe at the thought) to get as many balls into the box as possible if Podolski is on and allow Welbeck to run and play his best game and stop with the chuckle brothers football.

some of our dead wood become dead wood because we had to concentrate on feeding Sanchez with all the ball all the time if we didn't he would throw a temper tantrum, if you watched the United game last night he dose not have that superiority at United yet and he looked like a fish out of water, he was tracking back to win the ball so he can get a touch

(1) this squad has way too many moving parts and very few of our players are good enough at their preferred position let alone relying on them in whatever position Wenger and his magic eight ball decide in the tunnel prior to the game... when teams do this it generally signals issues within the club, much like Jose last year and Van Gael before him... no one gets settled, the chemistry is almost non-existent and if provides a built - in excuse when the team comes up short... these issues fall squarely on Wenger, both for his decisions regarding players coming in and for his inability to rid the team of those players who aren't cutting it... in actually fact we have only 6 real starters on this current squad and that's being generous (Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette, Sead, Kos & Cazorla)... which is discouraging because Cazorla is injured and might never play again, Sanchez is wanting out and the club is lying to us about his injury status, Lacazette receives no service, Ozil is relatively disinterested out there, Kos is getting up there and Sead is just trying to settle in... there isn't a single other player that would start regularly on any of the other top 3 teams, which should be the standard... imagine this team moving forward if Wenger only sells before the window closes

In big games our problem is Arteta being closed down and put under pressure — our midfield panics and loses the ball, so we get countered and they're straight at our back four.

He was sloppy in possession, but again, Ozil is brilliant when we have runs and pace and some space, his game is not based on working with the ball too long, but nevertheless he was there at the end to get the ball past the line, despite Neuer almost pulling off another sensational save.
