Yes we have
games against «inferior» teams coming up (of
which we thought at home to Hull was the first) but to see us go on a massive winning run would be great, but I really can't see Chelsea or Man City slipping up enough for Arsenal to do anything but
get into the usual dogfight for fourth place.
Im liking Wenger's «Project Sanchez», initially he looked lost and alone on his own upfront but seem to be growing
into it quite nicely, far from the finished article though but at 27, this is the perfect time to switch his
game from one based on a high work rate to one based on movement and intelligence, in the last two
games, he has scored off rebounds
which means he is really working on being at the right place at the right time rather than running endlessly in the hope pf
getting lucky.

When Bellerin first came
into the side he not only defended well but was always so dangerous going forward.His pace and ability to go outside his marker gave us an attacking outlet that allowed us to play without a recognised right sided attacker
which coincided with Walcott
getting less and less
game time.We all thought this boy was going to turn
into someone very special and so obviously did the management who apparently renewed his contract on a reputed # 100k per week.What have we seen since then?A player that seems as indecisive and under coached as the rest of the defenders at the club.A player that has rarely delivered a performance that reflected his initial early form.A player whose body language seems to display his displeasure at being at our club when Barcelona reputedly offered # 40m for him in the close season.

But still 1 big problem in his
game He runs
into opposition players too much
which results in us losing the ball and
getting counterattacked
Wenger himself doesn't want to spend all in the name of «I have not
got the right quality in the market, the prices are way above their actual valuation» etc. but even if he does buy, it's difficult to believe anything could easily change at the moment because he doesn't have guts to point fingers at players who even make serial mistakes e.g. xhaka in three consecutive
games, his three mistaken passes have resulted
into three goals
which I doubt a coach like maurinho can tolerate.

Excatly the mentality with
which we need to
get into this
game..
Arsenal have registered a massive 45 players from the First team, the reserves and the Academy, for our six Europa League
games against BATE, Koln & Red Star Belgrade,
which would seem to indicate that he is going to give a lot of our youngsters a run - out in the competition while our senior players attempt to
get back
into contention for the Premier League.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to
get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he
got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should
get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements,
which means we should
get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to
get that player
into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to
get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play,
which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't
get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought
into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the
game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years,
which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
The big centre forward was at it again last night as he scored the second French goal in their friendly
game against Aaron Ramsey and his Welsh teammates, a goal
which took the
game beyond doubt after Wales had started to look as though they may
get back
into it after the first half opener from Greizmann.
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS on an article about Chambers at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one from management has ever explained why such a frugal club spent so much money on him in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for players who could have a monumental impact on the very future of our club but somehow we found $ 16 million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't
get me wrong, I like what he showed at times last season in Middlesbourogh but from the handful of
games I watched him play I still have some serious questions about his consistency as a back - line player in the EPL; as such he should prove himself on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that wants him in the starting 11... bottom line, let's not
get bogged down with the semantics of peripheral players and focus on the real task at hand = figure out who the hell is going to be our starting 11 for the foreseeable future,
which means

Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the
game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve
into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business,
which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to
get things right!!!

How you could witness what the rest of us have these last few years and ever even consider saying Arsenal should beat these teams on financial and historical grounds is completely beyond my comprehension because their is no financial muscle flexed at Arsenal and these teams, even Marseille, are bigger spenders, as for the history, well the problem there is the man that made alot of that history is they current manager and he has no qualms about damaging it as long as he
gets to employ his own agenda,
which only he now seems to know what this actually is Arsenal deserve nothing on merit going
into any
game.
NSW had effectively shut down Sammy Treherne and Lefau - Fakaosilea for the majority of the
game which limited the opposition's attacking play out wide, but Sammy Treherne would not give up and finally
got some space to make a run up the sideline only to be tackled
into touch just a metre short of the try line by captain courageous Ash Hewson, saving a
game winning try.
Unfortunately as is often the Arsenal way we managed to conspire to make the
game difficult for ourselves, with a few minutes of the first half remaining Ox found himself with the ball on the edge of Everton's area, Hector available to his right and players closing, if he had managed to
get a shot off first time then we would not have been chasing back towards our own goal five seconds later, instead Ox chose to shoot after a couple of touches in to a mass of Everton bodies when there were better options on, the ball broke to Delofeu who managed remarkably to stay on his feet for twenty or so yards before releasing Barkley, Koscielny had been dragged wide by Lukaku and Ox and Hector were in hot pursuit, they both probably had a chance to take the booking but allowed Barkley to continue, he took a speculative shot
which would not have troubled Cech until it took a big deflection off of Gabriel and drifted
into the gaping net.

In truth, Lucas Perez had a pretty quiet
game for the most part,
which is understandable as he's still
getting back to full fitness after his injury, but he
got his reward for being willing to
get into the six - yard box from a wide position as play developed on the other flank.
And furthermore, it was the platform they needed heading
into a bumper schedule of league fixtures, all of
which are very much winnable so a fruitful run of
games could be on the cards as Everton look to
get their season back on track.

It was vital that David Wagner's men remained confident and collected whilst approaching the task of

Part of this problem could be considered to be that the most used central midfield pairing, Lucas Leiva and Charlie Adam, aren't particularly dynamic nor inclined to
get on the end of crosses (of
which Liverpool have had more, per
game, than any other team in the league apart from Wolves — more of
which, will be discussed later), so this only leaves a certain number of players who will be able to
get into the box in the more rigid 4 -4-2 utilised for most of this season. Inspite of this, however, 58 % of Liverpool's goals have come from inside the 18 yard box, the highest in the league so far this season in terms of percentage of goals scored by each individual team, suggesting that this is the best avenue of attack for Liverpool, so the question has to be: why have Liverpool only managed to score 14 times, the 10th lowest amount of goals in the league?
