but its a bit sad to see that i as i know more about arsenal fans
than other fans, to say from the bottom of my heart, that the fans on here are as worse as the worst if not the worst fans out there... arsenal being on a run, with özil scoring one of the best
goals i have ever seen on tuesday, draws against the best defensive
side in the league and no they arent stoke city or something they are SPURS equally title challenger as any of arsenal man city, man united, chelsea, liverpool, a team that sent man city home when they (city) looked unbeatable..

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

Next week to Chelsea game Arsenal need to put Danny welbeck in the
side against Chelsea which is where they fail to have exceptional pace that arsenal possess to fight the threat of hazard and Willian,
other than that Fabregas will do whatever he can in his power to muster up a
goal so therefore cazorla maybe sacrifices for Ramsey and Ozil which will bring a quick team to boot.
yeah but i also have to say that he does nt sparkle either: / he did score some
goals but whenever i see him in the game i cant really say that he is the one i want to have permanently on the right because he slows the attacks down very often and often passes turn on the wing and passes back, right now he is only better
than the ox because he scored 3
goals more i think maybe a bit more, but neither of them do enough, ramsey on the
other side when he started on the wing at the start of the season did a lot of things for the build - up i prefer ramsey to campbell... well of course an in form walcott of the season 12/13 would be the dream because in that season he was in my opinion equal if not better
than sanchez of the season 14/15 but thats a dream xD

just a little thought for any sanchez detractors or baters in his 1st season with us we was in a champion's league playoff given that in the epl we managed 4th place; it was his

than many
others in our

I think its time to do something about this, over the 2 legs, ireland were clearly the better
side, that notwithstanding this particular french team is the worst i've seen in decades, and they have no bussines going to the world cup.It is time for replays to be reviewed in some cases and goaline technology to be applied in
other cases, i think we human being have come of age to realise that we humans are not perfect, no matter how hard we try, so for sepp blatter to keep resisting replays and
goal line technology is quite baffling to me, i can't really understand why 3 socalled officials could make a decision, a decision in which the whole world saw to be a foul, and its allowed to stand, and a nation is left, heartbroken, cheated and bitter, i am an african, but as a fan of football, i felt terrible seeing this, and i beg the question, if someone
other than the team is not benefiting from this, why can't the officials be allowed to take a look at the replays in order to officiate the game better?

Song, arguably our most improved player is on 4 yellow cards and we should ensure that he doesn't miss the Chelsea game.The partnership of Gallas and Vermaelen is outstanding, yet one can not expect them to play in every game, and it is in that are we are weak in cover.With regards to the full back situation, perm any two from four, that is Clichy, Gibbs, Eboue, Sagna and even Traore they are attacking wing backs and are always at risk on the quick counter attack by the opposition.Almunia still doesn't impress me and his command of his area is still indecisive and he is still vulnerable to letting
goals in, especially to his near post.Wenger being Wenger, I doubt he will buy in January, and it is a pity we didn't go for Given months before he joined City, when he was available for a comparatively cheap price.This new diamond shape or 4 -1-4-1 is working well and we have an abundance of quality to interchange, which bemuses the opposition more often
than not.We have every chance this year, and we are also being helped by the fact that the
other so called big four
sides are showing their vulnerability.A couple of decent signings, not squad players in January, and hopefully we are in the mix.
