Please some one tell me what is the effect on players, when they see their fans «Not supporting» them when on pitch and holding banners against Wenger???.

Some people have jumped on the situation that Wenger is using Coquelin in the CB position at training, now he only has 3 CBs there and a whole bunch of midfielders, he has 2 teams a guess practicing against each other a midfielder would more than likely be used since Bellerin, Debuchy, Gibbs, Monreal, Chambers, Holding and Bielik would already be occupied.

Nice line - up, I'd prefer that 3 back line all day, except it will be Gabriel for mustafi, that's grit, steel, aggression and intelligence at our back line, but imagine monreal as a CB when we have Gabriel, holding, I don't understand wenger Mustafi goes into tackles headlessly The front line and midfield is also super human, just dat Ozil is a pussy against aggressive and big teams, I'll prefer ox or Wilshere or mahrez....

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

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.

this window has just finished i am already thinking about who we will get for the january window we might try for khedira on a really low offer as he is free agent almost would help boost numbers in midfield in the new year as we will no doubt need to filling the numbers about then also i will hold my hands up and say i was wrong this morning for giving wenger stick and saying welbeck is rubbish i have been out in the cold light of day and had a chance to reevaluate the situation and realized that this could be a canny shrew transfer on wenger behalf actually if wenger can turn the clock back and work his magic on welbeck and get him scoring goals and improve his game then we could have a great underrated signing on our hands its wengers absolute trust in him that might be what makes him a great player as this is something that he never had at old mordor if anybody can make him a world beater wenger can he loves this little pet projects improving players against the odds welbeck has the skillset to be high class player upfornt he just needs to work very hard on his finishing i think once he gets a few goals under his belt he will settle in fine and he is a team player you could put him on the left against man city to shore up that side and he will put in a great shift without a complaint that could be his biggest asset to us or on the right whenever we need him there ithinkwenger might start himon the left against city to protect the left back against navas and i bet you if he does a great job we will take a shine to him quickly i am hopeing he will be one of those wenger gems that he finds and polishes up to a high finish i must admit i was annoyed as some other gunners were at not signing d / m and c / h but if wenger does win the league with this lot it will be his greatest win yet and what might play in to our hands is the unpredictable nature of the league in the last few seasons if we get on a good run at the right time we might be hard to stop look at city they should have never lost to stoke but the result is there in black and white for all to see and i think chelsea will hit the skids after a while to just because cesc and costa are doing well now thats there main threat but teams will work out how to stop them as the season goes on and chelsea will become predictable i think we might just do well this season after all

i think this could officially be the start of the end for wenger his blind arrogance has cause him to buy welbeck in the sheer belief that AGAINST THE ODDS HE CAN BEAT THE REST OF THE BIG 4 WITH ONE ARM BEHIND HIS BACK we should be buying top top top european c / l standard players not sunderland spuds everton standard players thats about welbecks standard of club in all truthful reality he is an honest hard working player but wenger thinks he can coach the mediocrity out of him he is truely insane its a guaranteed source of goals we need not more fancy hold up play and «pace» and missing chance after chance so the postman is to be joined by the manchester metro tram absolute disgrace he has kidded on ozil and sanchez they must be wondering what is going on atm they are seeing the true wenger now just panicking and not panicking very well to that effect and for some reason wenger has gone all kinky for english players for some strange reason at least chambers has great potential welbeck has past that stage and is a seasoned pro now and he is no where near what we need wenger is trying to show how great he is by whiping the back out of the same players week after week in the vain hope that he can win the league without rotating ever and they will get injured and he wont have learned his lesson and we will pay for it in the end best last day transfer would have been a 4 year contract for klopp

I hope I'm wrong but this could be the most damaging win when it comes to transfers... winning 1 game, after about 20 minutes of really good play, is of little consequence in the grand scheme of things... only those with the most selfish of intentions would suggest otherwise... the only reason we're even in this predicament, where were celebrating our first victory of 2018 against a bottom half squad who is managed by possibly the only individual more antiquated than our manager, is because of Wenger's ridiculous mishandling of his contract last year combined with his mishandling of the contracts of our top players this year; a fact that he himself admitted to... so before you get too excited about the possibilities of our current roster don't forget what has happened over the last several years and pray to the gods of football that real quality reinforcements like Auba are on the way, which could have happened years ago for less money and we might have been holding a trophy of some significance, or this brief respite will be followed by the usual mediocrity and stagnation

Difficult this one.The Cup Final performance from the BFG was priceless and on that alone nobody questioned Wengers decision to give him the extra year.This season you felt he would nurture Holding and Chambers in the Carabao and Europa League competitions.That has obviously not happened and we all saw for ourselves how bad he had become with THAT performance against Forest in the FA CUP.

Arsene Wenger was under no illusion that it was going to be an easy game against relegation - threatened QPR last night, and he was proved right as the Hoops held off Arsenal for over an hour before Oliver Giroud broke the deadlock.

Likewise, Arsenal endured a frustrating outing against Middlesbrough one week ago as they were held to a draw, but they did return to winning ways midweek as victory over Reading saw Arsene Wenger's side secure a place in the EFL Cup quarter finals.

Funny how Arsenal were gonna challenge for the title after winning our second trophy in weeks and Giroud were underrated then a draw against Besiktas later we hold no hope, Wenger is clueless, Giroud is the worst striker ever, Arsenal had 6 strikers (Giroud, Alexis, Sanogo, Walcott, Podolski, Campbell) and overnight 4 of them disappeared and Giroud and Sanogo were our only strikers.

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?

I agree with you the players need some heat to perform to theor abilities and stop wasting created opportunities to kill games and or hold onto leads and i agree they need some heat to kick em in the arse to prevent them from under performing against milan but milan isnt city or chelsea but we need to beat them to get far in competition but i do nt think the players missing chances this year is whole heartey down to the manager and we need to finish out the year strong but with cazorla comong back and strengthening some spots in off season and now praying we finally have jack back this squad looks dangerous next year and wenger will have a good year with arsenal next year cazorla and another player will take time off xhaka and or put more pressure on him to perform but we have had success in recent seasons barley missing out on top four last year with highest points to ever miss out yes they need heat to perform strong rest of year but it is not wengers time to go yet be needs another season and if these two years are falling off we have done better than are rivals in are tough years

So E V E R Y T H I N G = > I said about Wenger was shown to be true against Stoke City yesterday, Bellerin playing on the left, Holding dropped, bewildered players wondering what the game plan is, our best finisher taken off the pitch because Wenger tried doing a substitution.

Far from it really, and we know what it takes for Arsene Wenger to make any sort of tactical substitution before his usual time of around the 65 minute mark, so Rob Holding and his performance against the Germans must have been a serious concern to the Frenchman who replaced him at halftime.

I agree that for whatever reason SANCHEZ holds a grudge is against WENGER mostly and it was definitely by benching him against Pool in probably the most critical game for us last season, if the man is not happy let him go, we don't need a disgruntled player in our dressing room no matter who he is, now this being said, it was because of him that we are now seeing changes and active transfer window, WENGER motivated and actively pursuing WC players, looking to drop under performing players, if it was not because ALEXIS and the Fans who last year had their voice heard and made it clear to the board and WENGER that is enough is enough....

t performance against Liverpool to tell Wenger you can't hold me down.

As I stated in a previous post, after the shambolic performance against Newcastle, the really dispicable act was Wenger, Bould and all the players bar Holding disappearing down the tunnel as quick as they could.

Arsenal fans, if they are anything like me, will still be wondering why Arsene Wenger chose to start with Mathieu Flamini as the holding midfielder against AFC Bournemouth instead of the fit again Francis Coquelin.

In central defence there wasn't a lot Wenger could have done differently because he royally screwed up in not signing a centre back weeks ago, I hope that Chambers and Holding (especially) don't suffer a loss of confidence as a result of that game because they're quite possibly going to play against Leicester.

Unless we recruit in these areas, because Wenger clearly does not trust Holding and Chambers in Premier league matches, we will continue to be also rans.As far as I am aware AW sanctions all sales, loans and acquisitions and as such he alone is responsible for the teams performance.The players showed plenty of fighting spirit against Man Utd who were handed their goals on a plate.

Wenger dithered on his summer transfers and as a result rested Kos and played Holding and Chambers in the first game against Liverpool.

Jesus... trust wenger to do, something dumb... Flamini Ramsey line up can't hold the ball and gives zero defensive cover against a fast moving opponent getting back to form....

With Per Mertesacker and Gabriel sidelined through injury, and Laurent Koscielny not match fit, Wenger had to field youngsters Calum Chambers and Rob Holding in defence against Liverpool.

Why Wenger chosed inexperience for yesterdays game when all we needed was the inexperienced guys to hold out against Napoli while the experienced ones be given rest for yesterday beats me.

Fans Reaction to Rob Holding's performance against Nottingham Forest Arsenal reached a new low under Arsene Wenger after Championship strugglers, Nottingham Forest dumped us out of the FA Cup at the first time of asking this season.

For example, take the game at Stoke, both Holding and Mertesacker were fit yet Wenger decided to play two lefts backs in a three or take the defeat against Liverpool, you might only have one chance to score yet elect to drop your prolific striker, these decisions are not rationale and not logical.
