With the emergence of Francis Coquelin
as Arsenal's
first - choice defensive midfielder and with the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere and even Santi Cazorla, who has grown accustomed to playing a deeper role, fighting for a place alongside the young Frenchman, the Gunners captain will certainly find it difficult to
get into the
first -
team.
I don't know... 3pl trophies in 20 seasons, no champions league, only made to final once in 18 CONSECUTIVE seasons, not resected like fergie was in his time, has never defeated jose mourinho even once in his lifetime even after maureen makes fun of him like hell (my God,6 - 0 in his 1000 game - > what a shame), an 8 - 2 loss at old trafford (only reason he bought players otherwise that season would have been hell), been rated
as one of the wealthiest clubs but we still have mediocre
first team players like giroud, welbeck etc (before u slam me
first answer this - > would they
get into bayern, barca, madrid, manure, mancity, psg or even chelsea starting 11 cz we rank the same with them financially)?????.....
Last year was Jose Mourinho's

get a wild card entry
into the Champions League.
But then again it is only fair that the Colombian moves to
get first team football
as he is far too good to be a unplayed backup, whereas Wojciech Szczesny will probably be happy to spend his whole career on the Arsenal bench, so he can sneak
into the showers for a fag when Wenger's not looking!

Danny is a 15 minute player, after 15 minutes of each game he just disappears and all he does is run, close down, lose passes, he just does not give much
as a striker, we down talk Giroud but he gives us more than danny, he will work hard, assist, score sometimes and bring this
team mates
into play... Welbeck has
got the worst link up play ever, his
first touch is so bad, whenever the ball
gets to him we know it won't stick and that means he will be chasing down the ball due to his poor
first touch.
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
The thing is — Wenger does nt seem to want him anywhere near the
first team at all, and if he does
get to play — I'm sure he'll do good enough to convince wenger to keep him
as backup — and then we're going
into a loop...
Others will come and I bet you they won't
get first team play and may probably go
into oblivion
as time goes on by.
even when he suffered a serious knee injury, instead of accepting the fact that he would never stick his legs
into the spaces that were crucial for someone with straight ahead speed to succeed, the club actually contemplated giving him a chance to play up top where his lack of physicality, size and holding up play talents would been on display for all to see... these are not the actions of a club that really cares about winning at the highest levels, but they are the actions of a club that wasn't interested in spending the necessary resources to purchases a world - class striker, which is usually the most expensive position on the pitch... instead we adopted the horrible phrase «like a new signing» and proceeded to allow this ridiculous experiment to carry on, which ultimately caused some discomfort on the training pitch and inside the locker room
as players battled for a position that shouldn't have been theirs for the taking in the
first place... don't
get me wrong, I believe that Walcott is a talented player, who can help a
team reach their goals, if their goals are relatively modest... just look at the
teams who supposedly expressed interest in his services and they weren't the kind of clubs who aspire to win at the highest levels...
as for the reasons why he hasn't been bitching and moaning about moving on just look at the wage benefits he receives from our club and his obvious desire to enjoy the societal advantages that come with playing in North London for a club with worldwide appeal... so instead of continuing to try to fix a coat with a broken zipper simply move on and buy a new and better coat
I like Wilshire, he is
as Arsenal
as you can
get, he is also in the last year of his contract and has to impress Wenger to earn a new contract, other wise its another player we lose on a free, i believe Wenger would of sold him if he could of so loaning a guy out with a year left on his contract would of been stupid, I hope he does
get a chance to impress and can recapture his form when he
first broke
into the
team and stay injury free, the season is long and there's plenty of games to give him
«I thought a long time ago that I'd be on loan and probably
get experience there before having experience in the
first team, but the fact that the boss trusted me to jump
into the
first team as quick
as I did, I'm just grateful for it.
Secondly — they have to actually go
into the
first team and NOT be
getting pushed out or they are just being wasted

And the other annoying thing is not replacing Gabriel — on the edge of being a
first team member, and definitely preferable to Coq and Elneny in defence, yet we didn't think to replace him, and
as soon
as we
get an injury, which fair enough was Mustafi, rather than the more expected Koscielny, but to expect our defence to go through the season uninjured, with Kos carrying a semi-permanent injury and well
into his 30's is pure madness.
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
getting contracts signed,
getting rid of a lot of deadwood and bringing in talented players
into the positions which truly need upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise

We all knew we wouldn't
get anything from this game.The venue tight ground, in London, more importantly the effect of the Norwich result.It seems to me now that our season could be determined by one player.Benik Afobe.He showed enough to warrant a start, Reading would be a great platform.We desperately need him to show the quality we know he has.With the predicted further 3 loses to come, this is going down to the wire.NES attitude has always been about his
team, the system, style with little regard to the opposition, so it's too late for change, we have to carry on and hope that it will be enough.I saw a great tactic used in Spain, that would suit Costa or Cavellerio, who
get frequently caught offside.That is for one of them to stay offside,
as long
as they are not involved in the
first phase of play, then they are brought
into the 2nd phase, with defenders tracking back, they have the advantage.Mind you it was Barcelona and Messi!!

- the 18 returning classes were chosen by seeing which popular classes would fit with the game - they also wanted to include classes to cover roles that the roster was lacked - the Pugilist class was added because the
first group of classes selected did not include any with bashing and binding attacks - War Magus was added because the Medic was the only healer class in the roster at that point - they couldn't simply include all popular classes
as that would have skewed the balance of the game -
as for the Hero class, they with balanced offensive and defensive capabilities, but this made things to similar to other classes - this was rectified by adding after - images and other skills with good synergy - when an after - image appears, it does the same skills
as the Hero, except on the following turn - it becomes possible for skills that usually can not be used multiple times in a row to be activated multiple turns in a row - it also means skills that only have an effect for one turn can be extended to two - after - images use not only the Hero's own class skills, but also their subclass skills - if the subclass is an Imperial, the Drive skill can be used multiple times in a row - when using Hero
as a subclass to Nightseeker, the character can cover the Nightseeker's weaknesses of having low defense - after - images can also help increase the chances of inflicting status ailments - subclasses can be used to make up for weakness - Swordsman, a class that can learn speed and accuracy boosting skills, would be a good subclass for the Gunner - Reaper
as a subclass for War Magus would allow that character to use the scythe's skills to inflict status ailments - the skill tree is slowly unlocked
as a character grows - there are more skills that make jobs» individual styles stand out more, or expand the player's choices - the skill tree is also made so that there are less requirements to learn specific skills
as compared to 5 - this makes it easier for players to
get the skill they want without spending large numbers of skill points on lower skills - it's now easier to put points
into skills, which makes re-specing easier - the
team faced difficulty in balancing classes that were never meant to be alongside each other - they are doing their best to ensure that they keep the individual classes» identities intact
-
first 30 mins or so can be confusing if you haven't played the demo - Yew Geneolgia is the leader of the Three Cavaliers, who guide the Crystalguard
into battle - mission of the Crystalguard is to Protect pope Agnes Oblige from harm at all costs - Agnes is captured by this game's new villain, Kaiser Oblivion - together with Cryst - Fairy Anne, they hatch a plan that becomes more apparent
as you move along - one of Yew's longterm partners, Janne, has betrayed everyone and actually works for this newly formed Empire - he killed most of the remaining Crystalguard - Yew finds the final member Nikolai of the Cavaliers before his death and requests of him to simply walk away - Yew is determined to bring Agnes back from the airship she is being held captive on - Yew is young and
gets easily scared - Edea Lee from the previous game returns - Magnolia Arch, a Ba'al Buster warrior who claims to come from the moon also appears - between lines of English dialogue, she speaks lines of French
as well - there is a long chat between all three characters about how adventuring and camping can be a ton of fun - Party Chat makes its return, and seems a bit more humorous this time - Tiz Arrior will also join your
team - some things in Luxendarc have changed since the last game - the world is more united against this common threat - if you beat all enemies in a single turn, it enables the «Bring It On!»
- the
team has been adding weapons one by one because they want the same amount of attention for each weapon - the
team learned that when they added two new weapons at once, one would end up
getting overshadowed by the other - there were more new stages than returning stages because bringing back old stages would have little surprise - since they want to satisfy both new and returning players, they changed the order of stage additions - there weren't any major direction changes in balancing from Splatoon 1 - there have been more pattern combinations between weapons and stages, so there was more involved to balance them all - matchmaking is handled by
getting 8 players with similar rank points, and then they're split by weapons - the rank point gap between S + players is bigger than ordinary players - only about one in 1,000 active players are in the S +40 to S +50 region in Ranked Battles - there's even less than one in 10 players that reach S +, while 80 % of the overall player base are in A or less - about 90 % of S + ranked players are within a + / -150 hidden ranked power range - rock was the popular genre in Splatoon, so they tried changing it for the sequel - they prioritized making good background music
first before forming the band to play that music - the design
team would make the CD jacket - like artwork afterwards - due to this, the band members would often change; some
getting added while some others removed - Off the Hook is an exception,
as they
first decided they would be a DJ and rapper along with their visuals
first - Off the Hook's song came afterwards - In Splatoon street fashion was the trend, but in Splatoon 2 they tried adding more uniqueness - the aim was to add Flow with ethnic clothing and Jelfonzo with high fashion - all Jellyfish in this world are born by splitting, which means Jelfonzo was born by splitting from Jelonzo - Jellyfish are like a hive mind - when they hold a wedding ceremony, they're just simply holding the ceremony - Jelonzo and Jelfonzo start gaining their own consciences so they can speak - Flow used her working holiday to go on a trip before reaching Inkopolis Square - during the trip, she met the owner of Headspace - the owner liked her, so she
got hired to work there - Bisk has a unique way of speaking: anastrophe - the
team tried to express him
as an adult man - they made him
into a giant spider crab because they wanted someone with high posture - he came from a cold country and broke up with his girlfriend to join a band - just like Flow, he became attracted to squids - Crusty Sean finally has his own shop, but he opened it because he's someone who follows the current trends - one of the trends happens to be people opening their own shops - drink tickets aren't stacked, but the probability is higher than a single brand - the music in Inkopolis Square changes depending on the player's location - sounds contribute to creating atmosphere in the location - the song at front of Grizzco Industries had an atmosphere that feels like some smell can radiate from the game screen -
as for Salmon Run, they imagined it
as a Japanese restaurant outside Japan that is not run by a Japanese person - each time the player moves between the shops, the game uses an arrange shift that shows the personality of each inhabitant - the arrangement in Shella Fresh is related to Bisk's guitar and mystery files that describe his past - with the Squid Sisters moved to Hero Mode, Off the Hook was put in charge in guiding battles and festivals - Bomb Rush Blush has an orchestra «because it would sound like the final boss» - the
team wanted to express the feel of the story's real culprit with this music - the probability of each event occurring in Salmon Run is different - there are no specific requirements, meaning they're picked randomly - this means it's possible for fog to appear three times in a row - the Salmon have different appearances based on the environment they're raised in - if the environment is harsher, they would become large salmon - Steelheads and Maws have big bodies, while Scrappers and Steel Eels have high intelligence - Salmons basically wield kitchenware, but everybody else has a virtue in fighting to actually cook the Salmons - Grill is the ultimate form of this - when Salmons are fighting to the death, they can feel the same sense of unity - they would be one with the world if they were eaten by other creatures, and they also fight for the pride of their race - MakoMart is based on a large supermarket in America - the update also took place on Black Friday in America, which was why Squids are buying a lot of things in the trailer - Arowana Mall looks like it has more passages because there are changes in tenants and also renovation work - Walleye Warehouse has no changes at all, because the
team wanted to have at least one map that stayed intact - the only thing different in this map is the graffiti, which is based on the winner of Famitsu's Squid Fashion Contest - all members in the band Ink Theory graduated from music university - they are well - educated girls who also do aggressive things - the band members wearing neckties are respecting the Hightide Era from the prequel - the
team will continue adding weapons and stages for a year, and Splatfests for two years - the
team will also continue to make more updates including balancing
- the game's shading mechanism has changed, which allows for increased gear texture quality - all graphical aspects and programming mechanisms have been built up from scratch for this sequel - maximum resolution is 1080p in TV mode - a bigger focus for Nintendo was the 60 frames per second - occasionally the resolution will be scaled down when there is too much ink displaying on the screen - Nintendo reduced the CPU load and refined the way to use CPU power effectively to maintain 60 fps in all matches - weapons were tweaked to let players be more creative by thinking about unique weapon characteristics and their best uses - weapons are designed to be effective when they are used during the right occasion - Special weapons are stronger than the original ones when used in the right situation, but weaker otherwise - the damage and effect of slowing down your movement when you step in the opponent's ink are reduced from original - you can jump up in rank if you're good enough, but only up until S - you can't jump up from C, B or A to S + - when you win battles in Ranked mode, the Ranked meter fills and your rank goes up when its fully filled - when you lose a battle, the gauge does not decrease, but the meter starts to crack - once the meter reaches its limit, it breaks - when the meter breaks, you have to start over again from the beginning or from a lower rank - highest rank is still S +, but if you fill up the Ranked meter, you
get numbers after the alphabet such
as «S +1», «S +2» and so on - maximum number is «S +50», but this number will not be displayed to your opponent - you are the only one to see it, and you can check it on your own status screen - Ranked Power is calculated by an algorithm to measure how strong each player is with minuteness - this will determine if a player's rank is worthy of receiving a big jump (like from «C» to «A»)- Ranked Power has no relation to your splat rate, and is more tied
into to how well you lead your
team to victory - you won't drop off more than one rank even if you play poorly - stage rotation time was changed to two hours - this was done because the devs expected people to play for an hour or so, but they found people play much longer - with Salmon Run, Nintendo considered how to implement a co-op oriented mode in a player - versus - player type of game - the devs will monitor how users are playing this mode to see if there's some tweaks they can throw in - more Salmon Run maps will be added in the future, but Nintendo wouldn't comment on adding more enemy types to the mode - rewards are changed each time Salmon Run is played - you can obtain rewards when playing locally, but not gear - originally Nintendo had an idea for this mode, but had no background setting, enemy designs, etc. - Inoue suggested that it should be salmon - themed - when Nintendo hosted the Splatfest that pit Callie against Marie, the development of Splatoon 2 had started - the devs had already decided to have the result reflected in the sequel - they even had an idea to announce the Splatfest with a phrase «Your choice will change the next Splatoon» - the timing to announce a sequel wasn't right, so they decided against this - they eventually released a series of short stories about the Squid Sisters to show how the Splatfest affected the sequel's story - Nintendo wouldn't say if Marina is an Octoling, and noted that Inklings are not paying attention to this too much - Inklings don't care about appearances,
