Remember the invincibles days of Henry, Wiltord, Bergkamp, Kanu, Reyes Great forwards to
have in our squad Same year we got Fabregas, RVP, Clichy and Lehman all for under # 5 million I wonder if Zelalem, Hayden, Akpom, iwobi, crowley, bielik, toral, niles will mature to top level
«we need two world class players in every position» thats the quote from Usmanov which i really agree with him same thing spanish big two has been doing for a long run and thats why European Championship has been changing hands because of quality
they have in their squad same thing can not be said when you come to Arsenal approach we are way below in England i can Man city doing same thing pep brought with him

Consistent with the Hoover Report's recommendations that the United States

Wenger
has mostly used the second string
squad at the start of any season to great effect, most teams aren't at full strength or match fit and he plays that Wengerball numbers game, throwing
in squad players who are fit and raring to go whilst the first team get ready, we'll win 2 of our 3 opening games and he
'd rather that than splash 100m on 3 players and get the
same amount of points.
So as reported by the Evening Standard, Anelka thinks Wenger should show the
same faith
in Olivier Giroud, declaring that Arsenal
have much more creativity and fire power
in our
squad than people seem to realise.
Now a report
in the Star is indicating that our 42 million man Mesut Ozil will also be returning to the
squad for the
same match, although it is unlikely that Wenger
would risk him for the full game.
In other words apart from the arrival of Sanchez, Arsenal's
squad remains the
same size as last season (not including the deadwood we
have got off the wage bill).
If you were playing on a Sunday morning and got caught out by that goal you
would be steaming 3 players
v 1 and not one players actually picked him up, so he turns and runs 60 yards Massive schoolboy error And why is the team virtually the
same barring forced changes What's the point of
having a
squad WENGER OUT and you will hear this again and again One difference
in the teams, they play as a team Ramsey and Alexis awful
We
have the
same players on the bench week
in week out, and Wenger brings the
same subs on at the
same point
in each match, simply because he
has no faith
in his
squad.
He is better than a few of our
squad options and i for one wouldnt mind seeing him come on for a Sant Cazorla or a M Ozil when we
have a precious lead
in a vital encounter, not only because of his workman like attitude but because he can offer something
in attack at the
same time.
I see some
have already turned this
in to an anti-Wenger rant — the
same people who «only want whats best for this club» and for the club to progress and to see ruthless management and build proper
squad depth are getting teary eyed and eulogising over a fantastic, brilliant, exciting player with almost perfect technique who for whatever reason
has never lived up to his potential.
I quite agree sell all the deadwoods but which player
in his right mind
would want to come to arsenal at the moment, remember people man u was
in the
same situation under moyes but we're able to attract better player's even when not playing champions league, the selling point from arsenal point of view is to tell players which they are trying to get what the plan is of getting back to top flight football by going for the Europa league over the FA cup and finishing
in the top six otherwise if they go for wishy - washy arsene wenger stupid attitude of we
've got quality all the
squad we are competing for everything then I'm afraid We will end up with nothing
not quite sure about the maths here... but realistically 3 1 to city if both teams put
in their best... only hope is they are knackered after napoli
in which case i wouldnt rule out a draw if we can keep a decent tempo... real test
in the middle of the park and i
would like to see wilshire start as he is the only
squad member who can control a ball and look up at the
same time... another xhaka ramsey routine will see us lose sadly
All players that I feel like
have never played well
in the
same squad together.
I feel the current
squad is the best
in years but we are still a couple of players away from being genuine title contenders and for this reason I think wengers time is up as he
has failed to address the
same positions for years!!
«[We want] to create chances like we always do but at the
same time make sure that with the guys they
have in their
squad and the quality they
've got [that we can] stop them.
Maybe the quality he strives for
in his
squad should
have been directed more towards himself as Arsenal face the
same problems when facing Chelsea and Man City each year.
Yes but it needed to be done, whilst it can be argued whether he
would be able to produce the
same performances he does now
in 4 years time, the whole idea i
would presume
would be to let the younger midfielders learn from such a talented individual now with the eventual hope that they
would be able to surpass or perhaps match his ability, plus its always a good thing to
have experienced players of such calibre around the
squad, like barca with Xavi he may not be able to perform to the level he was
in his heyday, but every once an again produces a moment of magic when you need it on account of the experience.
-- consistent injury issue — no signings (when we need them and there are better players out there than we
have in our team /
squad)-- no strength
in depth (kids, or not sufficient quality bought)-- no consistency
in performance (motivation)-- tactical nativity and inflexibility — players played out of position or too Many like minded players accommodated
in same line up.
He fears that the
same squad would suddenly challenge for major honours
in league and europe, the
same squad which is trying to just finish around 4th place under Arsene.
We do not
have the criteria, but the stadium... Results wise we are just far from the reality and the top firms
in Europe... We are just not
in the
same league, from
squad constitution to manager.
So it disgusts me on this site that people actually believe the
same team we
have that didn't win the league last year while goalkeeping wasn't a serious problem expect us to pull off a miracle with the
same squad and just Cech
in it.
In the invincible season, 2003/04, the
same squad was playing together for a third season and definitely the substitutes
had learned their trade.
Deschamps
has not recalled Karim Benzema to his
squad so if he is to continue with the
same sort of system we
have seen
in the build up to and during Euro 2016 then Giroud will probably be his first choice to play through the middle.
You cant escape he fact that Podolski was played rarely and when he was he was played out of position much the
same way that Wenger
has assembled a
squad of players most of which are a talented bunch, but, Wenger
has failed to build a team who fit n with each other, we
have a midfield that overtly populated with players who al excel
in the
same role BUT
have no solid defensive midfield talent and no options
in defence when players
have crap periods or are long term injury problems.
If all England
squad would have the
same spirit Jack is
having Wales
would not
have overtake England
in the FIFA ranking.
Wilshere getting injured isn't new just how after Wenger does not sign a capable CF for the 4th season
in a row and we finish 4th this season you will see the
SAME PEOPLE around this
SAME TIME next year who said the
squad was good enough, you'll see there will be no injuries if everyone stays fit so we don't need to sign players or we don't really need any striker we
have Giroud (a player better than Rooney and Henry who it is very very very very HARD to find any better player than him and whom some fans here will discount any other player better than him to prove he is good enough).
well Man united
have and Man city
have and perhaps chelski may, the fact is we are NOT a top four club at present and the fact also remains that most of the afore mentioned actually don't NEED to add to their
squads due to being very active
in previous windows there wont be any activity as there are NO plans to add
in this window and its got nothing to do with traditionally NOT buying and everything to do with the «Bargain basement2 mentality that Wenger and the board
have always adopted and
in todays market your NOT going to get the sort of top notch players we need to actually change for a rock bottom price
same old Wenger
same old Arsenal
The evidence isn't just
in the league table, the goals for and against and the way even defensive minded teams
have been unable to shut down United using exactly the
same tactics that Wenger and the rest of the Arsenal
squad are very publicly unable to cope with.
We
have no chance of the title with this
squad and recently not with Wenger
in charge, but nothing will change.Don't expect any more signings he
has basically told this already.Our
squad players won't leave simply they are just getting paid too much to do nothing.So just except the
same old rubbish until the club gets taken over
Moving on from it all for this season i fear for worst to come next season (just
had a deja vu i say the
same thing every season around this time) City already are talking spending 600 Million
in the next two to three years on new players and you can bet Man - U will follow to try and close the gap, Liverpool can sell one player and buy an entire
squad, Chelsea owner Abromovich
has started to make noise's about next season so they will be spending, spuds will try to keep their existing players with one or two additions to strengthen and some salary rises to keep the elite, and Arsenal will go head to head with the likes of Burnley Everton Leicester for average players signature, and the board will make sure even if they replace AW they will replace him with AW No2 who will do what the board decides on who and how much to spend
He said, «Basically we
have the
same players available as last week, plus Koscielny is coming back, Petr Cech is back
in the
squad, Mesut Ozil and Alexis as well.
Like it or hate it wenger
has the funds to create a winning
squad if he does not win either prem or cl before the end of his contract then I think is fair for all the fans who are tired of the
same thing season
in and season out that wenger retires and let new manager come
in.
I know Arsenal all too well and trust me we
would've still lost.A lot of people think this Arsenal
squad isn't good enough to win the league but I beg to differ.Give this
same squad to Rafa Benitez or any world class manager even without any signing before the transfer window ends and watch us play like you
've never seen before.The problem
in this team
has always been tactics, mentality and mismanagement.This is what
has really been disturbing us for several seasons but alwas goes ignored.Mark my words that if Arsenal get everyone they're supposed to we're not winning the league if those three things aren't checked.We need signings but our problem is much bigger than signings.Give this
same squad to Klopp or a too manager and you
'd be shocked some players who were called average will be playing differently.You know why?Strong mentality, proper management and good tactics count.
Top players want to play alongside other top players, and if your Sanchez evaluating our
squad, who
would he look at as someone that
would have a chance to play
in the lineups of other top teams the
same way that he might?
You are just been intentionally argumentative, Klopp inherited a
squad that he
had to work with, if the Wenger we
have now fund himself
in the
same position that team will be looking at a relegation scrap, if you fail to recognise the impact the Klop appointment is
having on Liverpoo l based purely on their league standing them I
have to admit i
have been giving you more credit sense wise than you deserve when you make comments.!
Besides several teams who
have questions surrounding one or possibly two players, there is no
squad that
has so many issues heading into the final week of the transfer window... even Monaco, who
have lost numerous players from their starting 11
have less controversy swirling
in and around their club and they
have champion's league play to contend with this season... just think of how ridiculous this situation is especially considering that we
have had the
same manager for over 20 years... no team should be better organized than ours... if nothing else, that should be the one advantage this team holds over all others, yet the exact opposite
has occurred... this fact is even more disturbing considering the main argument against removing Wenger from his managerial position was that there was no suitable replacement and that people feared some sort of perceived drop - off if a new manager was brought into the mix... based on what we
've witnessed since the time of his contract renewal a monkey with a magic eight ball could
have done an adequate job... I hate to make jokes,
in light of our current dilemma, but this team is so screwed up if I don't laugh about it, the only plausible response is to either cry or do something incredibly destructive... just look around this
squad and try to see what our delusional manager sees that allow him to make such positive statements about our current team
would be an awesome
squad if everyone puts
in the
same shift as a. sanchez.
I
would most like to see you share your observations about the player you wished, how his qualities fit to our
squad, and provide evidence on how said player can do a better job than another
in the
same role, so that everyone can debate on the
same grounds.
I do feel that the oldest player
in our
squad took the comments on board though, and perhaps felt that he more than most was
in the mind of the Arsenal manager when he said them, because Petr Cech spoke about the
same thing himself after the Gunners
had cruised past Lincoln City into the FA cup semi-final.
He plays
same players over and over again and he doesn't change tactics to suit the opposition resulting
in good players getting injured and other top class players leaving the
squad in search of playing opportunities.A top defender like Vermaleen shouldn't
have left if AW was doing rotation.Right now the injury list is increasing and Wenger doesn't change.If AW remains like that Podolski, Campbell, Rosicky, Nacho must leave
in order to serve their career.
Having said that, there are many Arsenal fans that don't see it the
same way and I can partly understand that from the point of view that the FA Cup should be one of four trophies we should be
in the mix for, with the
squad that's been assembled.
The only way the
squad would be refreshed
would have to follow a change of the manager, Wenger is Wenger (which IS AFC at this point
in time), while things are as they are regarding organization and management, what you see is what you get:
same ol,
same ol...
i am not too bothered by the manner we won today the most important thing is the 3 pts remember burnley beat liverpool not so long ago, also for the people who thought the title was already lost after just a few games (which by the way was stupid to think) well not only man city got beaten but their team looked jaded / tired and even though they
have a very good
squad they missed de bruyne terribly, it is not the
same team without him they couldn, t create any chances which is good news, it can, t be good for a team to depend so much on one player (we should know a thing or two about this)
in case he gets injured hopefully we
have moved on from this and can deal with injuries to our players
in case it happens to us, we
had our fair share and it is time for us and to watch other teams getting depleted, COYG.
Arsenal's Midfield is a complete mess at the moment.The Ox
has presumably
had enough; Coquelin frankly isn't good enough although is currently the only combative midfielder that the Club
has in its ranks; Elneny is nothing more than a «
squad player»; Wilshire
has regressed over the course of 3 injury ravaged years and Cazorla is unlikely to play at the
same level again following on from his current injury crisis....
It really is nice to see that we
've got quite a few players of the
same fold
in the
squad, Ramsey, Rosicky, Sanchez, Welbeck and I can go on and on.
Rotating is cleary very important and specially
in our
squad known for injuries, but you cant expect
having players like Santi, ramsey and wilshere all being on the bench at the
same time.
They
have the
same potential as last season when they were prepared (
had a
squad big enough) to play
in the League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
Pedro Rodriguez spent three years
in the
same squad as the Chilean and they both
had to play second fiddle to the likes of Messi, Neymar and David Villa but they both chipped
in with a decent amount of goals and assists.
While Leicester managed to win the title last season thanks
in large part to Claudio Ranieri being able to name the
same starting XI week
in and week out, Chelsea are
having the
same fortune this season and neither of them
have had European games to add pressure to their
squad either.
