this kid had it all and could have been truly great but guess what, you can take the kid out of the hood but you can't always take the hood out of the kid, sterling hangs around with a bunch of idiots who think posting their mate online doing laughing gas is clever and there all living

in my opinion and those of you suggesting to offer theo and money, Im so glad you don't
run the club, theo is the
best r winger
in the league when fit, we also have Wellington silva coming back, not to mention ox to cover or Sanchez if we want to play Danny or mezut on the left, let city have Raheem and let their already volatile dressing room implode, let's get Cech, lacazette and a solid dm to compete with le coq, sell Chesney to inter for
good money podolski could be used as make weight for Morgan or the like release flamini let arteta and Roz have there last season if they choose or let them go if they want more
first team football, Rio to have one more loan Diaby pay as you play and last promote chuba who clearly is going to be an animal, with this I believe the title is ours and if the new 3 settle a real tilt at the cl is possible but please gooners get behind theo he is absolutely essential COYG

Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't
good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club
first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own
team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this
team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith
in those
in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds
run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those
in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions...
in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this
team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting
There are not many other surprises
in the Arsenal starting line up, with Petr Cech set to face his fomer
team mates and manager for the
first time, Monreal getting the nod over Gibbs, and Coquelin detailed to provide the back four with
good protection and perhaps stop Eden Hazard
running the game.
He's improved his post defense, laughable
in his
first two years, significantly to the point where he and DeAndre Jordan aren't the all - flash, all - flop
team, rather an average defensive unit that routinely gets the
better of opposing frontcourts because of their athleticism and commitment to
running the floor.
Quick notes on arsemal
team 1 - paulista is not
good as i though 2 - coquelin is essential
in arsenal midfield to give stability but he can't hold the ball
in his feet or give the right pass
in the right time so we can't dominate
teams anymore especially with santi absence 3 - ramsey = horrible, just a headless chicken
running everywhere 4 - ozil could have easily 30 + assists by now 5 - Olivier Giroud the handsom french guy shouldn't ever be a big
team first choice striker 6 - where are the 4 world class strikers that wenger said we had i didn't se anyone of the yet
Giroud only lost his place
in the starting line up
in the
first place because he was missing chances and with Theo having drawn a blank
in his last three starts, there have been some calls for Wenger to change back, but the England international has still been making great
runs, getting into
good positions and helping the
team.
Claude Puel has seen his new Southampton side struggle to only gain one point from the
first three games of the season, but he believes his
team is
better than that and will give Arsenal a
run for their money
in Saturday's game at the Emirates.
lst season at stamford bridge, was the
first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and
well all know the outcome.the manager has come back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are playing a slow dm
in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality
teams with sound tactics.wen playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work
better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to
run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a
good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.
There is only one situation
in football where scoring a touchdown is not the
best possible outcome: When a
team is leading with enough time to end the game without picking up a
first down, it's smarter to just let time
run out.
Under 23 players look
good and many now getting a
run out
in first team So we are
in transition finally rather than papering over the cracks If we get either Malcolm or Auba then its been a
good window with new and younger players coming
in for Sanchez Waclott and Giroud
My honest opinion Jenko is not
good enough, he can not make it
in West Ham's
first team regular and has scored own goals, got a few red cards and has not had a
good run this last 2 seasons..
Amazing what can happen when given a
good run in the
first -
team: S A lot is dependant on what system and manager we play... how much they're willing to spend on a replacement / upgrade and if we're replacing both Sanchez (certain) and ozil and oxlade (50/50 imo).
Nacho Monreal has had his problems since coming to play for Arsenal, but with a decent
run of games he always comes
good and has surprised many of us, including me, by actually ousting Kieran Gibbs
in the Gunners
first team.
You can never tell what to expect with this Arsenal
team, Westham can have all their
best players, be on a solid
run of wins and we turn them over easily, or they might be going through a bad patch and without a few of their
best players and beat us so easily it will be embarrassing, the only thing consistent about us is our inconsistency, if am not mistaken they turned us over at home
in the
first game of the season, with a 17 year old boy
in their
first 11 and about 3/4 new to the country and the league....
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
I still don't understand people's obsession with boxing players
in to a specific role... The whole «true DM» is a dying breed, even Coquelin is arguably something else considering the advanced positions he takes up often
in front of Santi and takes major risks
in winning the ball back for us... IMO, the reason Coquelin has had such a successful integration into the
first team is that he focussed incredibly hard on the basics of his role
first and foremost before adding other elements to his game (long - balls, driving
runs into space, more aggressive ball movement
in general) it's not rocket science to tell a player to curb the attacking side of their game and focus primarily on defence before attack... Nor is it that hard to see that playing
in a midfield pairing with either Ramsey or Cazorla is going to be different as
well.
Theo Walcott may have scored 20 goals for Arsenal last season, but
in this campaign he can't buy a League game from Arsene Wenger and the rumours are that the 28 year old is desperate to move
in January to seek
first team football to try and get a
good enough
run to impress the England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the World Cup Finals
in Russia this summer.
Behind a slow start from the newly acquired Albert Pujols -LRB-.217 batting average and zero home

in the league.
hayden is quite a beast
in d / m apparently also and wenger rate him highly
in this position as
well says he has «
good concentration and technical skills» for it and he is a big lad at 6 ″ 2 mobile as
well could be promoted this year to filll
in gaps at the back and
in d / m maybe he is my favorite to get a
good run of games out of the youth and as wenger has become pro english this year do nt be suprised if crowley gets fast tracked to
first team before end of sept and reg
first teamer before years out the kid very talented
His
first touch is still poor, he can't link up, he will
run with the ball like a headless chicken without looking to where to see if his
team mates are
in better positions, he will
run and ends up messing up attacks.
Joining a club of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement of how our players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list of players who were wrong to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured of all players at the club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided to search for other greener pastures.He was a clear talented footballer during his time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its not helping him or the club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him to get used to the rythm of the game.With time you realise he gets low ib confidence and his engine gets wasted.He needed somebody who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy not wenger.You would have been
better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers - Came us a very talented player from southampton with raw talent.He was very
good at
first but wenger found a way to reduce his level of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did nt do anything to resolve that problem and instead He looked for other talented players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented player who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready to become a world beater.But wenger decided to let him
run and
run like a headless chicken causing him to be often injured and damaging his confidence.Who knows what would have happened to him gad he decided to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much
better player than this.Theo walcott - Another player who was tipped to have a very bright future.He had it
in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on Coming to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top of that another player who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms
well just recently.But imagine all the legendary players he was often compared to during his time at real madrid.On coming to arsenal he found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does not take any responsibility for players.And when at arsenal you have to be your own manager.You need not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same player for the next many years.That is why each and every player are what they are because of their own efforts and wenger had nothing to do with it.Van persie was the same player for over 7 years untill he himself decided to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge
team while the rest is
in your court.It is not what so many people make it out to be.Thats why we need to pressure wenger more than our own players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs to take that responsibility

The conflicting interests are blatant and overwhelming: from a PR perspective they'd like nothing more than to
run away from Foster as fast as they can, but from a
team perspective they just drafted this guy
in the
first round, he's really
good, and has not been proven guilty of anything yet.
1996/7 was his
first (part season) where he formally took over at (If I can recall correctly) around mid-late October.We had actually started the season fairly
well with Pat Rice holding the reins until Wengers contract was up
in Japan.And that was following a particularly bad
run of pre season results I remember.Anyway you will recall we qualified for the UEFA CUP with a late Bergkamp screamer (oh how I worshipped that player) against Bolton.Were we pleased with this?Absolutely we were.You could see the progression
in the
team and with talk of more top players arriving we were all very encouraged and dare I say it?
But when people are saying we should sign X-player who contributed
well last season while playing every single game for «depth» sure, on paper it looks great, but a lot of players hit patches of form that may not necessarily be given that opportunity here, as there may be someone else
in the squad who hits the ground
running and contributes straight away... If Coquelin, Arteta, Flamini, Wilshere, Ramsey, AOC, Ozil, Cazorla, Rosicky are all fit and firing, I think you're sorely mistaken if you think anything but a truly world - class midfielder would be looking at those names and not potentially evaluating their
first -
team opportunities.
The 23 year old has struggled to persuade Arsene Wenger to give him a fair
run in the Gunners
first team set - up and an Emirates Stadium exit may
well be
best for all concerned.
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once
in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely
in the mix, as their respective
teams try desperately to find a way to get the
best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike...
in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former
teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the
best of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being
run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the
best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens
in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers...
in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be
in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our
best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the
first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
Well I believe if we win d fa cup, next community shield will be W chance to HV a psychological adv He has to beat M
in d charity shield match Both
teams are on a neutral ground Overall arsenal's
run this year Has bn impressive If we played like this
in D
first leg against Monaco, we should be
in d semifinal of d CL by now That is my regret this season.
Here or not, Wilshere has no influence on our seasons, year after year... As a matter of fact it seems that while injured we get
better runs because Wenger is not tempted to f*ck up and put him
in the
first team (15
first games: 5 wins
in total... This is where we lost the league).
Chamberlain is enjoying his longest
run of regular football
in the
first -
team since joining the club thanks to him impressive displays
in the new role, although with Sead Kolasinac also impressing since him move from Schalke, along with the return of key defenders, the Ox could
well find himself back on the bench
in the near future.
Well put Josh, we can only hope that the reserves are hungry to prove they are worth a long

Shaw could become one of the

first team.
As it stands, this squad is fairly
well positioned to compete for the Wenger Cup and make a deep
run in the Europa, if and only if we play
first stringers
in Europe and use the bench for the League and FA Cups... that being said, and based on the fragility of the manager and the
team in recent campaigns, it's more likely that Wenger will focus on a top 4 finish and the FA Cup... while the reasons for such an approach may appear logical, it would confirm a rather disturbing trend and appear counter intuitive for any
team which claims to have higher aspirations... I feel that Wenger simply can't afford to put all his eggs
in the Europa basket because if he fails the potential backlash could cripple any top 4 chances due to the aforementioned fragile psyche that tends to rear it's ugly head like our own personal groundhog day each and every February... furthermore, can you even imagine Wenger bringing
in the necessary recruits to adequately supply top quality lineups
in a Thursday / Sunday dominated schedule; based on everything I've seen
in recent years, I can't see that happening...
in fact, mark my words, it's more likely that we see Lacazette playing out wide
in Alexis's position with Giroud at striker, than we see Wenger make the necessary moves to right this ship... god, I hope I'm wrong but is it really that far - fetched considering what we've witnessed for past several years

Laca

well when he came
in and allowed the

good chances, and i believe Auba was probably the one you meant but then he has played that position under coaches you would wish replace Wenger., and Wenger certainly won't be the

Yes, Juventus tied the game midway through the
