I've seen a penalty given against us, I think it was Bellerin who tackled from behind, and got the ball first, before getting the man, and he put enough power in the clearance, that even if the man had managed to stay on his feet, he wouldn't have got the ball, however the MOTD of the day crew said it was a penalty, because even though he got the ball, you weren't allowed to tackle from behind?!?!? So why the double standards???
obviously I would prefer to have a much more suitable alternative in the defensive midfielder positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots away in and around the top of the box with their most dominant feet... if goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for OX and bring Ramsey in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more of a 3 -1-5-1 with Ramsey playing higher up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud as a sub when the game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team with incredible link - up play and a much more direct approach in the offensive end

giroud, lecoq, are gud backups to hve in the squad but not a first team player for a team wanting to challenge for epl.coq has got to improve slightly on the ball but off the ball he is gud.everyone knows about giroud and I don't think a gud striker is enough for us.we need a very clinical guy not a guy who will be going through dry patches coz thats guaranteed from a gud striker.gibbs is tricky he is a gud option to hve on the bench but if we scout someone younger and better than him then I think we can sell him for both the clubs sake and himself coz he hasn't progressed as a player.what I find shocking is bellerin back up is jenkinson worth a team challenging for epl?I don't think so and we should find an able guy there than fool ourselves and next season we pay for mistakes again.

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
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.
DANNY WELBECK 6.5 Did not really get enough chance on the ball as Arsenal were duly gunned down by Liverpool.
I can't stand welbeck for one reason he's not better than what we have but if you played a front two of welbeck and Sanchez then Cambpell left and Walcott or chaimbo right that would give us a huge counter attacking style with lots of skill and pace, but here is the problem to do this you need big strong DM to win the ball back when we defend and we do t have them, flaming is reckless and getting old, Arteta is good on the Bala but not quick or strong enough, please don't say Diaby as we all know he will be inj soon again, then also what to do with Ozil and Corzola?
I could see a situation where they double Embiid early, forcing him to pass, and Embiid, wanting to do everything, holds the ball too long and gets himself into too many turnover situations, and on the defensive end isn't able to get out on Olynyk fast enough.
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
i dot even like watching us play anymore bfg and flamini cant be on at same time when other teams see them on the team sheet they know if they counter us well enough they can do us over and famini trying to play rugby and kicking the ball for trys every attempt on goal its frustrating to watch and that bfg now omg a ever so slight breeze can get a ball around him if giroud came one on one with mert he would have a field day the only way im playing him is if we park the bus with 5 at the back
When Wilshere is fit then I think he could make a great deep lying playmaker, someone to sit alongside Coquelin and good enough to make a long pass to link the def to attack or step past a player and then pass the ball, Wilshere has done fantastic for England when playing a deep lying playmaker and he has been able to rely on his CM partners to get the ball back.
Great going forward but defensively we were fragile AGAIN.Mustafi - what on God's earth was he thinking about with that clearance that resulted in the free kick for their goal?He is proving himself a liability and Kos wasn't exactly dominant either.That game could have ended 12 - 5 or something ridiculous like that.Still we have enough to get through and we would have taken that score line before the game.Ozil was majestic out there last night and Ramsey did what he does best.But Wilshere was very poor and you wonder now if the writing is on the wall for him.He continually lost the ball and offered nothing going forward.
Whyare we not playing AMN as our CDM?Jack - Showed passion and tried to get on the ball but crowded out all too often.Zhaka - Just F**k OFF FFS.Ozil - We couldn't get him on the ball.Mikki - now knows what a NLD is all about.Auba - Ditto Iwobi - JUST WHY HE IS EVEN ON THE BENCH SUMS UP WENGER F**king USELESS.Laca - So shot of confidence.Welbeck - tries his best.Not good enougon the ball but crowded out all too often.Zhaka - Just F**k OFF FFS.Ozil - We couldn't get him on the ball.Mikki - now knows what a NLD is all about.Auba - Ditto Iwobi - JUST WHY HE IS EVEN ON THE BENCH SUMS UP WENGER F**king USELESS.Laca - So shot of confidence.Welbeck - tries his best.Not good enougon the ball.Mikki - now knows what a NLD is all about.Auba - Ditto Iwobi - JUST WHY HE IS EVEN ON THE BENCH SUMS UP WENGER F**king USELESS.Laca - So shot of confidence.Welbeck - tries his best.Not good enougON THE BENCH SUMS UP WENGER F**king USELESS.Laca - So shot of confidence.Welbeck - tries his best.Not good enough.
Have a just very good guy could help because their isn't enough overlap to really hurt but he might could help with the rare occasion a good / very good defender gets a bad jump / is miss positioned due to a shift / any other reason he can't get to a ball it on the edge of his zone.
Mr Fox, that shows how utterly stupid wenger has been sanchez should have gone in summer right at the beginning of the transfer window, that gives arsenal enough time to get someone else in but stupid wenger keeping too much faith in certain players to the annoyance of other players and on top of that wenger can only play one style of football and that has allowed other teams to nullify our players and sanchez gave the ball away almost 30 times against Southampton I believe that alone warrants you being benched under ferguson
(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
not enough composure in the middle need to hold the ball... getting stretched on left side....
Notices: - Jack OLB reduces to a 4i - tech and looks like the b - gap defender (55 Ryan Bowman in this image)- Mike ILB aligns in a 9 - tech and looks like he's got force versus run and back out his side versus pass - Dime ILB aligns in 00 4.5 yards off the ball - Rover drops down close enough to cover the slot receiver on the boundary side - FS rotates back to deep middle
Watching the game last night was really frustrating when they took giroud off and we were crossing the ball in to no one walking did nt even look like he was bothered or even on the pitch u can't cross a ball to a player like walcott or even play him as a single striker he just ai nt good enough i really liked walcott but i honestly cant see him as a striker for arsenal, he's better on the wing, my opinion we should get dm and spend whatever money is left on a bloody striker and not a shit 1, someone when a opposing team looks on the team sheet and thinks ah he's gonna give us some shit today
But ozil as we all knows a skillful player but having only that is not enough, he has to train hard on the training to attack resolutely, come back and press on the opopent s defenders even midfielders to disposes the ball be a ruthless fighter, otherwise with the performance he has been displaying which doesn't create any impact with the ever getting stronger premiere league teams, I don't think he deserved to be payed that much.
To me, i feel xhaka is well needed in dis new formation (d 3 -4-3) n moreso, he is a typical arsenal kind of player... can hold on to d ball n distribute it with precision... all we need to succeed with dis new formation is to get a combative football playing midfielder dat can win d ball n move with it... in d mould of naby keita, verrati n even Everton's gana can do d job or better still, take renato sanchez on loan... doubt if he is going to get enough playing time as he would want at bayern dis season again coz of their luxury of midfield player, not sure if he will be in d 1st team with vidal n thiago alcantara unbenchable n anceloti having a soft spot for kimmich (just as wenger has for Ramsey) I think if we propose a loan deal for renato sanchez dah bayern will grant it
Despite the great looks they were getting all game, Team Schulte just couldn't seem to get the ball to stay down enough on Monday Night..
Telling me players are not to blame is absolutely rubbish, they are to blame, yes Monaco mission was to relax and repell Arsenal and if possible shut them down completely, this gam was ours to take, First the pressure was on Monaco, they didn't know how to go about it, whether to defend their 3 - 1 advantage or press us, we had more than enough clear cut chances but as usual we were clueless in front of goal, we tried to open them apart which is impossible, Carzolla and Alexis played as if we lead 15 - 0, holding balls, try to dribble every time they have the ball and and reduce the pace and any chance of other to get through, losing balls carelessly, poor crosses is now our style, it doesn't threatened even Charlton athletic coz everyone now knows our crosses is poorly delivered and our attackers also don't have a clue how to do it even if one get through it will be wasted, this game should have been won by range attempts which was only tried once by ÖZIL and was blocked.
It's obvious that he effectively has nowhere else to go.His wages alone preclude any interest from another Club.Factor in a transfer fee and uninspiring form and Arsenal are alone in a desire to have him.Wenger can't bear the thought of a player who originally cost over 40 million pounds having no sell - on value.However this is a fact.Extend Ozil's contract for another wasteful two years paying him a wage he doesn't deserve and he'll be off to Turkey once he feels that he's banked enough # 300k weekly wage packets.Any way you look at it Arsenal won't get their money's worth!As unappetising as it might be Arsenal should play «hard - ball» and just let him see out the remainder of his contract.
I don't like criticizing Özil, because the more criticism he gets the worse he seems to become, I think he's trying, but he just doesn't seem strong enough on the ball, and this is a (part) European side, so we can't say it is due to the EPL physicality.
