I'm sorry but we have really
got to question wenger's antics here... If his plan was to alter the formation so wilshere n Ramsey were the main central midfielders with no out n out no 10 n chambo coming through the ranks supposedly as a cm why would he a) not buy a bona fide dm to compliment those 2?
Not exact matches
It makes you
question Wenger's ability if he has
to basically bribe players
to stay And do
get me started on Welbeck starting as the striker...
o.t does anybody on here honestly think we might try and make a move for klopp this summer are the board that aggressive enough
to make the decision also
wenger has not come out straight away
to denied that klopp is coming
to arsenal he just batted the
question away in the press conference yesterday this makes me wonder if
wenger is going
to sit down with the board and have a chat
to see what is the best way forward for the club (maybe moving upstairs
to the boardroom so he doesn't have
to break his contract) i am sure if certain members of the board saw this as a prime opportunity
to move the club forward post
wenger we will see what will happen this might be the only chance
to get him as we might not be any decent manager around when
wenger does retire we would probably end up with martinez instead realistically who do you think we would end up with in 2 yrs time options will be more limited me thinks and we wil have missed the boat better make it count this time coyg
Wenger himself is the master of the smoke and mirrors game and will never really give anything like a straight answer
to journalists, preferring
to opt for the «I'm far smarter than you» approach and just acts mysterious and all - knowing when
questioned, OR acts like a petulant genius who
gets angry when his wisdom is
questioned.
I'm not
questioning Wengers ability here or whether he's still
got it in the transfer market, it's that we seem
to address the problems that aren't there in the first place and neglect the ones that are..
let's face it, everyone and his brother has known what our deficiencies have been for several years, so why can't our management team seem
to identify our weaknesses and aggressively target the necessary additions... the only plausible answer is we aren't willing
to pay even close
to market value for the players we clearly need and if we do actually
get to the table we seem
to make insulting bids that simple infuriate the team in
question... for years
Wenger has said he couldn't find any world class players
to fill our voids, which seems
to suggest that he thinks we currently have upwards of 40 world class players on our existing roster... if that is the case he should never be in charge of making personnel decisions... buying late in the window is so problematic, for obvious reasons, and especially since this year was supposed
to be different (sarcasm)
There is no surprise that there are
questions being asked about who will replace
Wenger when he leaves, as that day seems
to be
getting closer with every match.
Speaking after the game,
Wenger was quick
to question the penalty decision that
got Watford back in the game, but Deeney was having none of it.
He also
questions whether the signing of the French striker who could not even
get into the Euro 2016 squad would be of much use
to the Gunners, but he also advised
Wenger to do it anyway as it would be an even bigger risk
to not bring in another forward in the current climate of frustration.
as for cowardly ozil who always
get a flu before big matches, shameful, the only reason a player should be left off defensive work is the player must be atleast 80 % efficient on the attack, such a player must have the ability
to dribble or take on defenders on his own, shot thunderly and scare the hell out of defenders with his movements... such a player is hazard, sorry we couldn't
get him cos our dumb coach felt he was too expensive and arsenal didn't even pose tittle abilities like Chelsea, hazard didn't even consider arsenal... since van persie left sanchez had been the only player
to question wenger's credentials and now
wenger must be regretting ever signing him now... the words of manuel neuer «player arsenal was like an holiday»... shame on
wenger...
I asked the
question of how much of a final say
Wenger has on transfers and I honestly do not believe
Wenger has the final say on everything regarding transfers, Gazidis has tried
to stamp his authority in it and messed up which
Wenger got the blame for afterwards.
The 26 - year - old was unable
to repeat the heroics during the penalty shoot - out as Argentina prevailed
to progress into the semi-finals, however his double save will live long in the memory and raise
questions as
to if
Wenger is
getting rid of the right goalkeeper.
Have
to agree with the assessment of concentrating on the league as winning it would be a great step for confidence for a good go at the UCL next season but can we
get that winning mentality under
Wenger is
questions that will be thrown about constantly until he does, wouldve had a better chance if we had added the 2/3 players summer past there would we not?
So I think, not only does
Wenger have
to go, it may actually be a
question whether he has
to go instantly, so a new plan can be made, before it
gets even worse.
My
question is why did the media go
to great lengths
to get Wenger to explain why Sanchez was playing in the first place, but no - one has asked the Boss why on Earth he kept an injured Cazorla on the pitch for the whole match?
if
wenger's got balls, he should try telling Ozil to choose btw playing football or Instagram or even possibly Leaving Arsenal...... hahaha i bet Wenger Can't (He'd be dragged out of the emirates publicly and questioned
wenger's
got balls, he should try telling Ozil
to choose btw playing football or Instagram or even possibly Leaving Arsenal...... hahaha i bet
Wenger Can't (He'd be dragged out of the emirates publicly and questioned
Wenger Can't (He'd be dragged out of the emirates publicly and
questioned).....
However, he couldn't
get away from
questions about links with Arsenal, as he has become one of the favourites
to be appointed as Arsene
Wenger's successor in the summer.
the next big
question is will
Wenger bench his favourite son - Giroud for Perez considering even when Welbz was in form last season he still
got benched or shifted
to the wing for a Giroud that was on a 15 - games goalless run.
He's a bit overrated I must say.I also don't
get those who are asking him
to tackle well.The fact is he's not a good tackler.I fear
Wenger has made him untouchable in our team such that even if he plays badly he still starts.I mean if people are saying he's not a DM in the first place then is he also a CM?If he's a CM does he have the quality
to play along side a DM?These are the
questions we need
to ask ourselves.If he's a CM then he's good at distributing from deep and also up top but he can't hold thd ball in tight spaces or dribble which is very important.If he's a DM then he simply can't defend.That's why for us
to be successful in the long term with him we need a hybrid midfielder or what I call a defensive box
to box midfielder.
images we want amangyang and Evans for me ud
get two players for 90 # million with a lot change I mean a lot but my point is we want two them and yet can't
get but we were offering 90 for lemer hahahaha think about it there's smell off afc for years and years oh just mention we sold walcott, coq and Sanchez and ox and Gabriel haha only replacement is miki haha
question is will always is
wenger or board who is playing chess with fans cheque mate all of us oh just pop in ozil doesn't no how sign he's name and jack went gluten - free and hasn't strength sign with lack gluten my god welcome
to our promise with having better team than Bayern Munich dream on we be lucky
get 5 this year sad state affairs
its funny whats makes u so sure the nxt manager will be unable
to finish top four.and this
question seems vague
wenger needs
to get out arsenal needs
to be back where it belongs
I also want the gutter press
to fire resignation
questions athim.We must
get Wenger out hook or by crook before the start of next season.
With Koscielny
getting a rest the
question is being asked who will Holding partner in the back four and I think it has
to be Mustafi, because
Wenger can also play Gabriel at right back.
Wenger seems
to get questioned every week about whether he is thinking of standing down or retiring, but Le Prof seems
to have made it unequivocally clear that he is not tired of his job, and has no intention of standing down in the near future.
Who knows, maybe we could have lost against Watford due
to rotating, then everyone would have
questioned Wenger that why not play the starting XI
to get a result?
PS
getting tired of the cult of
Wenger claiming we are «bad» and not «worthy» fans for daring
to question the club we love.
The real
question is whether the club wants
to entrust the new found war chest with
Wenger or
get someone else
to build for the future.
Wenger said «Judge me on May», here is May... Carbon copy season
to the previous seasons, the same mistakes, the same tactics, the same arrogance, nothing changed... I would like this review
to come from the board... They has
to question the manager what's gone wrong and what he need
to get in the right track... Even - though somehow we finished second, I see us moved backward...
Jack, like the rest of us, has been very impressed with
Wenger's tactics and the team's performances which have seen Arsenal shrug off those
questions about us in big games, and he feels that this is a major step
to us
getting back where we belong.
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
Atleast watch the whole press conference before making a post out of it...
Wenger was more than happy
to answer any
questions about the GK decision... It was only when he was asked about Moaninho's comments did he
get angry and accuse the press of «lacking creativity»..!!
I do not want
Wenger focused on selling Jenks, I want him focused on who he has and
getting them
to perform which is in
question right now.
The biggest
question for Arsenal and us fans
to consider once the current season is over and we know whether Arsenal
get a top four finish or an FA cup trophy, is whether Arsene
Wenger is going
to stay or go, but that is likely
to be announced pretty quickly.
The Poles
got themselves back level before late goals from Jay Emmanuel - Thomas and Samir Nasri won the game for the north London side before Legia once again scored leaving
Wenger with some serous
questions to ask of his first team back four.
Why do u constantly
question the coach's tactics and then every time his line up
gets a win, u start owning it as if u are the ones who selected the players
to start?And playing players out of position.I will only believe that
Wenger is crazy when i see Carzola playing centre - back.
No one is
questioning Wenger's past achievements, but he has had three seasons and 5 transfer windows
to get the necessary players i.e a top sttiker and a dm which are glaring deficiencies in our squad and yet he ignores it and this summer was an example of how delusional he has become, by making statements like there no players available which could improve our squad, while treble winner barca even with their transfer ban
get couple in, same with Bayern, Madrid and all other big clubs because they know you have constantly improve their squads
to compete, and by making that statement he implied that he has one of the best sqauds in Europe, so can you please tell me whether you are optimistic about our chances against Bayern?
Its pretty sad that at this club you can not even ask
questions of the manager and if you
got the balls
to do it Then there are some people who have blind faith in
wenger and try
to put us down
I
got to question the Chambers transfer as well, a lot of money and
Wenger hasn't appeared
to be satisfied with him, heck he
got loaned out for a # 2mil buy!
Before his big injury he would remind me of Maradona, yes Maradona, with his his dribble and control of the ball.Unfortunately, something happened when he came back, he had lost speed and he was eager
to do well (as Ramsey now) and he never
got back the level or style he had.The fact that
Wenger always play him stops him
to question himself and try
to change things.
Are you really naive enough
to believe that
Wenger would bring anyone into this current locker room that is going
to be given a strong voice... have you not been watching, listening or reading about our club for years... Lehman is a blind
Wenger follower, which is the only reason he was even considered... just for a second think of all the strong personalities that have played for this club that have never been seriously considered even though they have expressed legitimate interest in participating in the coaching process... even worse, think of all the former greats who aren't even allowed on the same pitch as
Wenger because they have offered their advice and / or criticism
to the infallible one... I dare you
to find a manager that has distanced himself from his former players as much as this man... it's the very reason why only one player I can think of has ever returned
to play for
Wenger and that was Flamini, which was hilarious considering we were desperately looking for a top quality defensive midfielder but
Wenger could somehow find no one better than Flamini in the whole wide world... let's face it this club was simply trying
to appease it's disgruntled fans by declaring that
Wenger would no longer be given Ca rte Blanche when it came
to the backroom staff so they probably asked him
to give them a list of those who he would allow in the locker room... on that list he wrote Lehman, Pires and Bergkamp, likely because the first two are the only former players who haven't publicly
questioned his horrible decision - making and the last one because he won't
get in an airplane
I have been reading comments of fans on here, especially those who have chosen
to appreciate the average in ability that a striker like giroud possess, my
question for ya all is, when did arsenal become a team so low on profile
to sing praise of a striker who no one can rank among the top 3 striker in the league, I have seen an arsenal team with a striking force with players like, anelka, Wright, Henry, v persie, no one can rank giroud or whatever his name is in the category of my mentioned strikers.we all have
got to face it, giroud is not good enough
to be leading the attack of a team dreaming of winning the league, and Henry is right saying arsenal can't win the league with giroud as our striker,,, check this out, man u won league titles with strikers like Rooney, van nisteroy, v persie, man city won with aguero, Chelsea with drogba and now Costa, giroud stand no chance against any of those.let's stop appreciating mediocrity,
wenger should
get us a good striker as giroud is damn too average for arsenal
Those wanting
Wenger to get sacked, I ask you one
question.
The article states that
wenger has been a success story Well not for ten years he hasn't Not winning goal the league through lack of transfer activity is NOT anywhere close
to a success story yet again my
question is this??? Where has the BTW sports money gone??? Each club in the employer is
getting a reputed 150 million so where has that money gone for us?
Neil - I am convinced of what you have written.There is no way at all the Agent of ANY top player would NOT ASK THE
QUESTION REGARDING THE MANAGER.The whole of world football knows we are declining rapidly.The Agent is there for his client and would have no doubt demanded assurances the sinking ship that has been
Wengers fault will soon be Captained by someone that will sail her into steady and calmer waters.Ivan Gazidis is no fool.He would have expected these
questions and would have needed
to convince him change WILL happen.
Wengers demise is there for all
to see.The arrogance of this man will be his own undoing.Gazidis has a tough job on his hands but by
getting Aubameyang
to sign was the first sign of the change that was inevitable.His Agent was obviously convinced.Now we need
to trust Gazidis
to implement the drastic overhaul that will be required.
As for th first goalscorer, the big
question is whether
Wenger will pick Giroud or Walcott
to lead the attack, and will Sanchez be back on the left as he
gets back
to full fitness.
In a way I understand that
Wenger wants Wilshere
to play as much football as possible in order
to get his career back on the right track, but seeing the amount of interest in our midfielder, with The Mirror reporting that as many as 22 clubs from the Premier League and the other top leagues around Europe want him, you have
to question the wisdom of sending him out on loan.
My fellow gunners
Wenger is a failure either you admit or not, though this is a preseason match which is less important just
to make the players gain fitness, before the competitive matches commence, but at the same time
Wenger's tactics and formation should be
questioned especially against big teams, he had conceded numerous goals against big teams in which today's match is a reflection of what we are talking about, his old and out dated philosophy is no longer valid in modern football, no wonder Alexis Sanchez can't confide in his plans
to propel the team in winning major honours,
Wenger still believe in some of the bunch of fringe players he should have
gotten rid of in the team and replace them with world class players or players that are hungry for success like Alexis, anyway there is still much time in the transfer window presently
to do that, if he can change the hands of time and stop being too stubborn.
THATS WHY THE PRESS ARE ALWAYS AFTER HIM and the club cos he's made himself a target and he has» nt won anything of note for a decade, The press are loathsome in many ways but with Arsenal they ask the
questions thet we as fans are NOT allowed
to and when
Wenger does his usual thing they
get annoyed and go after him
You can blame the press in a way, they ask the
questions we all want
to know the answers
to, yet
get fobbed off by
Wenger with the attitude that EVERYBODY who asks these
questions are stupid, Its always the refs fault OR the linesman or the other teams dog, OR every pundit in the world is wrong and cant see the genius that is AW's plan of action ect ect.
The only huge concern for
Wenger will be that of his strikers, Giroud and Sanogo, whose striking qualities continue
to get questioned; but beyond that, the Arsenal machine looks well - oiled and poised
to work smoothly over the coming weekends.
