«We still need a lot of work on this formation, we haven't been doing it for long, but we can learn quickly, especially
in games like today.
Even
in a game like today, when the second half was meaningless and we just passed the ball around nonchalantly the additions of Wilshere, Rosicky, and Podolski sped up our passing and we looked really good.
The amount of poor shots
in games like todays, makes you wonder if they actually atke shooting practice / sessions in training or is it just pass and pass and more passes.
Not exact matches
The people of that generation who are still
in the
game and making a difference
today are the ones who giddily charged off to buy PalmPilots and mobile phones that weighed down their suits
like bricks.
We
like to think that when men
in Civil War prisons played the
game, it was very much
like what we play
today.
One of the few highlights for me
today was not Monreal going down
like a poof on every tackle but Ox pretty physical tackle late on
in the
game.
Until players play
like they played
today in big
games with spirit And wenger dares to make early substitutions
This is simple a very intelligent child can solve this problem.Firstly
today our keeper was very poor however i know he will come good.By the way why is Paulista no getting his chance.What i have observed about arsenal since we signed Mertesacker from day one and since he started playing is that Mertesacker hardly gets involved you will usually see him a few times because he does not want to get caught out.e has always been a weak link
in the defence even
in his greatest performances here.When i see us playing with a high line and he is there i always laugh.It is just a mistake waiting to happen and i can tell u that it will happen again this season.Secondly why is Ramsey Cazorla and Ozil playing
in the same line - up
in a 4 -5-1 formation.That is just not right though it will win you some matches due to individual brilliance.It wont work at all.Lastly the least i say about Giroud the better i am not judging him on one game.One would imagine if he was not french and
like chinese will he be getting these chances under Wenger.To me he will always be an average player and i will stand by my word even if he has good
games.
It looked
like the Arsenal players felt
like they had lost the
game before the
game even started
today, but
in the second half they looked completely uninterested
in fighting for the shirt
like Henry and Adams did
in his heyday.
Barron Hilton was the best Charger owner ever and would have been revered
like many of the best owners
in the league
today He was our first owner and started
in the AFL
in 1959 and took the Chargers to the playoffs 5 years and won the AFL championship
game versus the Boston Patriots
in 1965.
But The JUICE says, LBJ makes it when it counts the most, just
like what he did
today against the Brooklyn Nets late
in the
game.

The reason it happened is that Wenger doesn't
like figureheads
in the changing room and wants everyone to be gentlemen and play by a elevated idea of conduct of the
game that no longer rules (more Queensbury rules
today).
Mertesacker is very good when we are playing
in a defensive formation
like today, when we are playing our regular attacking, possession
game and we have to push up, then he is too slow tracking speedy forwards back and becomes a liability.
I think the Gunners can still top the table
in due course if they can stop taken getting good results for granted and stop being careless
in their
games like they did at the Hawthorns
today.
After the way we started against Hull
today it looked
like we were going to blow Steve Bruce and his team away, just as we had
in both of the Premier League
games last season.
We can analysis
today on what was good and bad, but
in reality,
in a tuff Market where (PSG, Barecelona, Real Mdrid, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea to name a few) will compete with us for players, we have to maximise our resources... and until we ship the
likes of Campbell and get back Welbeck we won't overcrowd our Squad and kill any aspirations Walcott, Welbeck and co will have to develop there
game for Arsenal.
Some
games in pre-season can be a bit slow and
in the heat
today, it was a bit
like that at times.
We see the
likes of Ozil and Walcott having great
games at times and sometimes Arsenal
in flow are a joy to watch, but often we have to rely on the tenacity as well as the talent of our Chilean, whose double
today took him clear
in the Premier League scoring chart.
......... Giroud should get used to the fact that walcott offers something else
like pace, GBD - tech (Get behind defenders) and he's still
in his prime...... Ball protection, hold - up play and low pace (though useful sometimes) won't win u all the
games against certain troublesome teams...... Then there's the Law of Succession......
today ur turn, Moro another's.....
In big
games, he played on the right and drifted inside
like he did
today.
The Arsenal played well we had over 70 % position of the ball with something
like 27 attacks were 8 were on target burnly had a
game plan and that
game plan was about hurting our players ankles and they got away scot free with it yet xaka gets red?????? Yes they were diddling about when that happened but compare it to the challenge on ozil and he was on goal yes koscienly came back from an offside position but the high boot on the head was dangerous I thought Arsenal played well and controlled the
game well even when we were put under pressure
in our own half when you look at the penalty awarded to them you will see a dive as coquelin barely touched him how many time did they push kosscielny of the ball???? hope he is ok as he was looking
like he had a thigh problem I
like the back four of
todays as Gabriel did ok specially when we went down to ten men >> > I salute our Arsenal for wining the
game on the 97 minit with only 10 men on the field What an iced cold penalty scored by Alexis
They have a shelf life of 8/10 years at the very top if they are lucky so who can begrudge them the opportunity to make hay whilst the sun is shining... am not saying Sanchez is not money driven but the way the guy plays i can mortgage my life he actually enjoys the
game, enjoys wining first and foremost then money comes 2nd...
like the author of the article rightly pointed out, he was
in Messi's shadow at Barca and could not express himself fully, now he is at a club where he is the main man and given a free role and license to express himself and i very much doubt if he will want to go to a club
like Madrid (as been rumoured
in the dailies
today) to relieve the bad experience he suffered at Barca because let us face facts, he is never going to displace CR7 as the main man, so even if Madrid sells Benzema or Bale to make room for him he will be back to the same position he was at Barca, this time he will be playing 2nd fiddle to CR7 so my guess is all the Madrid talks is been fed the press by his agents to drive a hard bargain when contract extension talks resumes.....
What I
liked in his
game today was he made many runs without the ball behind the defenders, which is a bit new as he
likes to come with the ball.
Everton won 1
in 44 against top 6 teams
in 6/7 years Would
like to see Xhaka benched, and maybe lacazette
in place of Ewobi, not that he had a bad
game But well played
today Arsenal.
Despite a good
game & great result
today, the worry is it's just another spike
in a general downward trend,
like beating Chelsea earlier
in the season.
he might of not been great but he was way better than ramsey honestly ramsey has had 3 poor
games in a row, he keept giving the ball away and he's always trying to be fancy, he's so much better when he plays simple and to his strengths
like determintation and energy, and
today the positives i took were chambers because he's a boss, the ox he's class, wilshere is getting back to form, and ozil as well he looked really good.
The Gunners started poorly
in the domestic league as well but have largely put that right and, as Wenger reminded us all
in the press conference
today reported by the Arsenal website, our last
game was an excellent away win at Leicester City, a team that had started
like a rocket, were playing very well and had not lost a
game until last weekend.
Can't you see, he killed our
game today, because he couldn't run, nor take on one or two players, gave Sanches, and monreal a lot of work to do, valensia was just free, we need someone who can run and driddble someone who is effective
in every position, maybe isco, payet, Reus.Giroud is very good, ilike him, as a back up striker, but we deserve a player who scores atleast 25 30 goals a season, someone
like Auba, Dembele, lewa, Aguero, kane, I think we deserve more than what we're getting,
I think Santi had a tough
game because rarely has he been influential
in backfooted attempts
like today.
i was hoping to see a Xhaka BOOM BOOM pretty soon and i did get that opportunity, what a goal, many
like myself thought he would start
in a match
like this but it was not so, although i did not see Coquelin playing
today i will tell you that he is the most important midfielder arsenal has even though he is under rated and should be played
in most of our
games, without any disrespect Ozil, Cazorla (my favorite), ramsay, Elneny and Xhaka.
Last but least Ozïl, the talent is there and we know it: on any given day at the top of his form he is arguably the best # 10
in the world and just need performances
like this and the previous one to show it and remind everyone (what a pass for Giroud); will do a lot for his confidence and also felt he could've been more involved
in the team play but that will come with
game time (got 90 mins
today)... Hopefully that doesn't stop until season's end and keep them passes and goals coming... Dare I say I would've love to see once a front of Alexis, Ozïl, Walcott / Chamberlaine and Cazorla (mouthwatering)!!!
this is the kind of win which is equally important as win against manu as all our rivals won
today even chelski won courtesy brad guzan this shows the mental toughness which we r getting it could have easily been 1 - 0 at half time but players kept calm and
in the end 3 pta came home.Now about match this
game shows exactly the importance of having a player
like giroud u just see the impact of giroud against bottom half teams so both giroud and wallcott are necessary depending on opponenets also ozil had a very good
game glad that Rambo scores now come on u Bavarians just please home supporters please make arsenal a fortress
like Highbury rest our players will se interesting times ahead
Why was Lacazette bought if you can't start him
in an elite
game like today's?
Or do they play
in this kind of
game and get injured,
like Ramsey
today?»
Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar may look
like an angel but his behaviour was far from angelic earlier
today as he played his part
in one of the ugliest
games in Chinese Super League history.
I very much doubt that Real would pursue Sanchez unless they were contemplating moving Bale, planning to play Ronaldo centrally this season and willing to upset their delicate wage structure... of course anything is possible, but this appears to be unlikely... the bigger question is the fact that Wenger was willing to risk losing the first few
games of the season because he hasn't settled the Sanchez dilemma
in a timely fashion... no one believes he was too injured to play so this is not too dissimilar from the Liverpool
game last season, except for the fact that Sanchez was
in street clothes and not
in his warm - ups (much
like Coutinho for Liverpool
today)... we're existing
in such a fragile environment because of Wenger and Kroenke...
in the
game yesterday, when Leicester scored to make it 3 - 2, you could cut the tension with a knife... can you imagine just for a second what the reaction might have been if we had failed to score
in the last 10 minutes
Was N'Golo Kante -
like in his
game today, quietly sweeping up any loose balls, winning every challenge he went into and played simply.
Okay we still won
today but
in a tighter
game these sort of decisions would have been costly, just
like in the Swansea
game recently.
On
today's
game - even the side we put out
today should have been more than enough to take care of a side with relegation written all over them.Mustafi is looking a liability
in every
game and Xhaka will never be a dominant midfielder.As for Wilshere he looks
like a player who probably found his true level at Bournemouth last season.Koliasnac is not the player he looked earlier
in the season probably down to the «Coaching» he now gets at the club.
Certainly that is our challenge this year, to continue to do well against the top teams but as well
in these kind of
games,
like Stoke
today, where you have to win and we dropped some points last year.»
2) We need a change
in formation per
game when this 3.4.1.2 is looking bad on a day
like today, maybe a more direct play be better instead of passing around.
They will press and score against most defences let alone a weak one
like ours but they are vulnerable to speed... as we saw again
today... So what does the fossil do puts
in a couple of lightweight midfielders who are completely dominated... Wilshire left
in no mans land with no support... Ozil and miki misplaced... Pea isolated... Equals no threat but lots of sideways passing... Did you watch the
game or just high on wenger juice?
«If you want to win a
game away of home
in the best league
in the world your GK can't concede 2 goals

today,» he tweeted.
Moving forward though, Bayern won 5 - 1 at home to Dortmund
today also so champions league is going to be extra difficult to get out of the group and i do nt think we can considern bayerns form but if we play
like this
today home / away we are
in for 2 cracker european
games?
In today's game you can't be sentimental on a weak player just be honest as the best thing for Gibbs will be to move and get game time like Jenkinson who gets better through play time, although Gibbs is not strong in tackles as timid for getting hurt

Would
like to see the Ox finally start a
game today, he's looked sharp through pre-season and
in the moments he's played, think he deserves a start.
We have to be humble and fight
in every
game like we did
today.
So it is good to see names
like Coquelin, Mertesacker and Mustafi back
in the matchday squad, although only the latter is set to start
today's
game against the Potters and it looks
like he will be the right sided defender
in a back three, with Monreal and Kolasinac completing the back line.
As of
today, I have zero money
in my â $ œfantasyâ $ bank account (strange, thatâ $ ™ s just
like my â $ œrealâ $ bank account); Iâ $ ™ m sitting 7th
in a group of 12; Sheva is getting me an average of 2 points a
game; and Andrew Johnson is the Premiershipâ $ ™ s leading goal - scorer.
