Firstly, I will admit (as all of you read) that I wanted LP to
get more playing time with us earlier in the year.
He would
get more playing time with us
He got more playing time with us!
Not exact matches
when i lived
with my grandparents school let out before they
got off work i went to an after school center where i received tutoring for my homework or i
played with other kids in similar situations on occasion this place would take us on field trips one such field trip was to the local roller skating rink i was not a klutzy child, not
more than the usual actually, i was quite coordinated at sports but put round wheels on my shoes and it was a mess i fell on my ass
more times than i was standing and no lie the next day i could not poop
Murphy would give us a second RH bat off the bench
with Valaika
with some power, and give a bit
more flexibility
with Wolters by carrying a 3rd C. Tauchman could go back to AAA to
get some steady at bats /
playing time to contribute
more in the second half.
3 months is looked at per minimum it take
more than six months for a bone to heal some very minor muscle will take 3 months a serious injury which takes 8 months and
more + rehabilitation while a player is rehabilitating other injuries my form a direct result of being constrained where muscles freeze you are not
playing for 8 months you cant expect the muscles to be up and running straight away players how ever want to
play because of all sort of reasons one being replaced so it hampers
with their full recovery hence having players regularly in the treating room but take it from me some
times you are perfect you just
get back bang someone heavy dose your ankle in so you are back in out off
playing time I personally
got very angry because my knee was ok so went back out to come back in after one game
with ankle problem after a couple of weeks i will go back out I have no guarantees that some one wouldn't go heavy on me or me injuring myself going heavy on someone else its football thats the way it is if it is not a medallion for the cabinet its a leg medallion

gets first Premier League start Arsenal superstar admits disputes
with Wenger over
playing time
he needs
time to adapt and he should be
playing with the first
time more (at least in
more Fa cup and carling cup games) he is crying out to be
played more and we are ignoring him for
getting the talent he has.
With Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin they may very well have

timing is such a key factor.
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
The Gunners have always
got through those
play - off games even though it was sometimes a close call, but for the first
time in two decades the Gunners will not be involved
with the elite of Europe and Arsene Wenger has admitted that this is not good, in a report by The Mirror, but he also
played it down a little bit by claiming that the English Premier League and the title race is now
more important and
more of interest to fans than the UCL and maybe the fact that Arsenal have not looked remotely like winning it since we lost to Barcelona in the final makes that true.
Brandon Allen found tight end Hunter Henry on back - to - back passes to

The trouble
with spuddy spud spurs, note the none capital letters is they put
more emphasis on beating Arsenal than finishing above them, as its the only
time they
get to feel they have
played in a Champs Lge match.
Andrew I know you still crave Reus, but
with the arrival of Welbeck, I can't see us
getting any
more attacking players unless someone leaves — judging by how little
play time they're
getting, I couldn't blame Campbell or Podolski for wanting out, but I don't want them to go.
We are so much
more fluid, and dangerous on the break
with a speedy CF, the defence to attack motion tends to that extra move, that extra pass
with Giroud, which is enough
time to slow down our
play, allow the other team to
get bodies back.
Those are both good developments for Smith, who looks better
with his hand in the dirt at defensive end trying to rush the passer anyway, and he should
get a lot
more playing time in that rotation.
On talent alone he is among our top 5 players of this squad hands down (Özil, Sanchez, Cazorla, Ramsey and him): 1) We our in a strong position financially so no need to sell 2) He will never be all
time goal scorer but if he
gets healthy and starts
playing more and
more and even
get a full season unscathed under is belt he could be something special 3) He has the passion, the love and the drive to be a captain and would be a great one
with maturity 4) Can be one of the all
time greats if he is consistent!
I agree
with getting him
more playing time, and that he does represent untapped potential for the Blazers.
Amazingly enough, it just might as The Mirror is reporting that the PSG and France international Adrien Rabiot, who has been strongly linked
with a move to Arsenal in the past, has actually asked his club for a loan move in January to
get more playing time.
The
more time these players spend
with one another the better we
get, seeing Ozil and Ramsey think alike while
playing off one another is a beautiful thing..
He deserves the new contract.He is a players player who does not
get enough
playing time due to Wengers obsession
with xhaka who cost seven
times as much.I think he could develop into a
more constructive midfielder as he showed recently against Watford when he was the best player on the pitch.
He's stated on multiple occasions that while the philosophy and technically sound possession oriented football remains the foundation, the
play as a whole is intended to
get the ball from back to front as quickly as possible, giving the MSN
more time with the ball
with less defenders to break down, and not spend as much
time as they used to stringing passes in midfield.
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been
more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the
get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been
played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of
time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to
get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even
more, combined
with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make
more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every
time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
Koscielny's age is
getting the better of him, Mustafi doesn't look like he's good enough, Bellerin cares
more about his speeches and looks rather than his
playing, and you're left
with Monreal, who's been the one good thing about this defense for a long
time now, but his age is also a concern.
Arsene Wenger can must
get Ben Yedder as long as he's clinical and can beat his man.I'd take him over Giroud any day and I think if Giroud is put in that Toulouse squad he won't score
more goals than Ben Yedder and denying this fact would mean you choose to be blinded.We had better
get him quickly.I've said it here
time and
time again the reason why Arsenal are not winning things
with Giroud is because he's not clinical.If you guys were to ever watch his misses in every season by season since he came here you would be shocked at the kind of striker we have.But as usual he's always forgiven and people continually rate him basing it on statistics and forget he's
playing for Arsenal
with the likes of.......
2) we would guarantee him
more playing time with giroud mostly as our regular CF and welbeck mostly injured while chelsea
got costa, pato and remy
Send them out on loan, they will
get more playing time in the Championship then a few cup games
with us
Sanzhez
played in the confederation cup lead Chile to a win (after being such a big part of our season) to come back 2 weeks after (when most have had a good rest) didn't
get to settle fully then
got injured sine then he has not been at his best (bad season for him) Ozil for me has had a near great season scored a assist 18 + goals what
more can you ask for... you are trying to put the way Giroud is useless 70 % of the
time and compare
with two people who have made us better..
This does not sit well
with the players that actually want to leave for
more playing time as they can't
get a new club.
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
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
Lacazette always looks dangerous when he
gets the ball, but
with the strength and pace of EPL defenders he doesn't
get much
time on the ball as our opponents have learned his style of
play, but Wenger thinks that he still does enough for the team even though he can't seem to score any
more.
In the case of Holding i would really like to see
more of him, because the few
times i have seem him he has been good
with some little errors and can only
get better
with more games while he is not
playing i hope he puts in some work at the gym.
Last but least Ozïl, the talent is there and we know it: on any given day at the top of his form he is arguably the best # 10 in the world and just need performances like this and the previous one to show it and remind everyone (what a pass for Giroud); will do a lot for his confidence and also felt he could've been
more involved in the team
play but that will come
with game
time (
got 90 mins today)... Hopefully that doesn't stop until season's end and keep them passes and goals coming... Dare I say I would've love to see once a front of Alexis, Ozïl, Walcott / Chamberlaine and Cazorla (mouthwatering)!!!
if you watched the sunderland you would know it, s not true, the guy had a bad game against boro but it has
more to do
with lack of
playing time, rythm he needed one game to
get back to his best!!
If he
plays with Bellerin from the right am sure we'll see
more from him, and i wont just support
playing Ramsey in every match, lets start rotating please, give Campbell some games too against lower teams and rest Ramsey sometimes (any
time he
gets injured we always feel it even tho he's been wasteful
with balls) or Rest Carzola and
play Ramsey in CM so Campbell can
play the RW..
you wont see a cazorla or a xavi losing possession, not only that but they drive the team forward.but unfortunately u hav players like ramsey, who do nt drive the attack like the above two, also he loses possessions sometimes by attempting fancy moves.its sad ramsey gives
more importance to style over substance.unfortunately, i feel players like ramsey hav contributed to arsenal's inability... imagine a team like barcelona
playing with him, constantly losing posession leading to conceding goals and so on.difference is barca's manager wud take them out, while under wenger u r rewarded
with the nxt game!!!! i do nt deny he was top notch a season or two back, but now hes a liability imo and need to change his mentality.even that opportunity he
got against tottenham where thought longer before taking a shot thus giving defender
time to
get to him and take off the ball.i bet if it was cazorla, arsenal wud hav scored...
I guess the only thing to hope is that Plekanec will
play better
with more ice
time given that the decrease to 4th line minutes was causing him issues
with getting into the flow of the game.
I'd
play him in midfield
with jack he reminds me Micheal Thomas we have bring sead kolosinic back in or even put him right back cause bellerin has being nothing short of disastrous in every way I like him as a man but my god he has not pushed on and I must say Cech looks so old and sluggish like last nite when Hernandez hit cross bar Cech looked so slow reactions gone we need keeper and I think Forster be great for us da guy at Southampton I think ozil will stay he's trying a lot
more so would I to
get 280 thousand weekly and Sanchez won't go cause not that he wants stay but he's form is very worrying hard take 3 weeks ago I looked at table and said we'll finish above spuds by ten points and in top 4 easily now we're behind them we have no consistency and manager that's just too old I love wenger always will but it's
time and I think artery would be great choice for manager he meant be great coach maybe he's the one
get Man City so great after all he loves arsenal maybe it's wenger plan go learn from pep and come bk when I leave take over and mersaker as he's no2 arteta and bfg take us forward and hand picked by wenger conspiracy theory begins
Give Xhaka
more game
time in the middle to
get more experience and
play Giroud and Sanchez up top
with Sanchez
more of a roamer
with Özil.
what a heck does the person dealing
with transfers / Scouts are useless and then Wenger
plays the penny pinching every
time so teams sell to the
more direct approach.i'm not looking
with enthusiasm the coming season and it is not because today's defeat but because the top 4
got stronger and we will
get weaker without Alexis and likely Ox.»
It begs the question —
with City struggling so much at the moment, can this Premier League legend really not
get more playing time?
It's draining we lost to spurs but
more over than anything the way we lost was embarrasseing and shocking we were
played off park most game that has concern us as fans spurs bullied us out
played us hungry in every department it's has fall
with wenger when is
time when he just accepts game has passed him matter of fact it has passed us arsenal fans aswell no control in middle very poor from xhaka and elneny and again dembele bought mortgage in midfield he's the owner my god vieria would of knocked he's house down but look we're very poor and away from home sad really how wenger keeps he's job is just pure stupidity but not just
with today's results over all away from home we're relegation side go
get Enrique before Chelsea
get him and let but of class and youth take our great club back before Tottenham spuds leave us so far behind we won't even complete this series lack lustrous club
For your information frustrated gunner Diaby was unlucky
with his injuries if he wasn't so injury prone he would have been a better player than either granit or Ramsey, if you ever saw him
play or the few
times he did he was vieraesque, hope I'm allowed to make up my own word, but injuries destroyed his career so to me you are just someone who is clueless about football... to all you guys asking for dm and Maherz basically you are saying we need to spend another 85 mil min to
get those two, we also need to swich to four at the back, ok yeah let's regress we found that 3 at the back Suits our team we have been
more solid defensively but no let's revert to the old system that hasn't won us anything major in a decade even tough we won a trophy beating the pl champions
with the new system, a system that Many top teams are using for your information!!
I can only hope that this attempt is taken
more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate
with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I
get it, few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be
more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we
get back to the business of
playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do
with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much
time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
I do nt know why im so disappointed i keep thinking every window he will do it splash big bring back the old days and especially this window
with all the abuse he had
got last season but no did nothing im the fool for
getting my hopes up again you would think id learn by now, if we did pull off lemar and kept sanchez after buying lacazette and kolasanic id be delighted but keeping an unhappy sanchez isnt good hopefully some forgien club will come in for him in January but what happened at Liverpool was a disgrace i cant take any
more its ruining my mood im depressed in disbelief at how stupid and soft centred we were making the exact same mistakes for 8 or 9 yrs ground hog day i cant cope we have leaked 8 goals in 3 games very worrying and the clown wont even
play kolasanic i wanted wenger to spend big go out in a blaze of glory in 2 yrs
time but this is embarrassing to me it looks like a money racket and we are the fools
I also think this is the perfect chance for Reiss Nelson to
get a chance to show his skills and he may
play 45 minutes and swap
with Alexis at half -
time as the Chilean still seems to need
more games to
get his sharpness back.
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough
time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even
playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who
played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship
with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many
times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's
more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded
with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team of ore... whereas in
times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent
times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't
get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to
get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
