Let us see what
kind of team Arsenal really is.
Think of what
kind of team Arsenal would be if they suddenly lost Mesut Ozil — would we see a major drop - off in Olivier Giroud or Alexis Sanchez's production?
Not exact matches
Arsenal mustn't pass up the chance to have that
kind of class in their
team, with the arrogant forward capable
of changing any game in an instant.
There is no other in
team in the epl who would give walcott the
kind of money and treatment
arsenal gives to him.
If
Arsenal and Wenger don't sign us a stricker and a defender then it clearly tells us the fans the
kind of team that we support.
If we are sincere with ourselves we would realise that for the past three years and more the
arsenal has not played with the same
kind of fluency that was the hallmark
of Arsene's
teams.
Arsenal will only change with fans like this AOB keep backing this
kind of shambolic signings and average palyers in our
team.
But I think Jamie Carragher summed up his speech by saying actually when saying «this is not
Arsenal tonight» like it's some
kind of one off event, even a unique season but it is the current
Arsenal and it's what the fans, pundits, and other
Teams who face
Arsenal all know.
the Ramsey, Xhaka partner ship is not a balanced one as none
of them are truly defensive midfielders and I know from our previous experience they are no good at all what is going on at
Arsenal with this
kind team selection it will probably be a draw if not a loss hope I would be proved wrong
I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his
team than any other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first
team he tends to give you so many chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons
of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player like Giroud is not built for that
kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 %
of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this season to label him as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see
Arsenal as the top club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a good offer comes we should sell.
They are certainly a lot closer than
Arsenal this season, and they were last season too in fact, but they are a very long way from challenging Man City just yet, and it is still ten years since they won a trophy
of any
kind, so they can hardly start bragging about being a bigger
team than
Arsenal just yet.
For that
kind of money you'll be getting far more talented players.If you watch a lot
of football you'll know this.He has age mates that are better than him but their not yet being talked about because some are in average
teams and others are yet to be given a proper stage.Also, Monaco never wanted to sell Mbappe and Lemar this season.If
Arsenal were interested in any other players we would have gotten them long ago.They might have even demanded more than # 80 if many clubs were interested and honestly speaking can you blame them?Is he the only talented winger that
Arsenal are looking at?We have to spend money wisely and this ain't wise business.
the truth is that
arsenal are not a coherent
team anymore... not clear what their footballing strategy is... seem to have given up on passing game for counterattack which might work in odd games but wont win us anything unless we have a midfield that can hold on to ball because we will be under the kosh most
of game and will eventually buckle... but the problem was clear at half time in this gane and wenger did nt do anything about it... and if he is paid for anything it is to make those
kind of critical decisions....
Tottenham are a fit, physical
team who like to bully sides, while
Arsenal tend to fold when put under this
kind of pressure.
Man city man have lost but
Arsenal should have shown some
kind of control exhibited by a Bayern side on the
team.
If criticisms

Kind, be it constructive or petty or even personal jibes cam spur a
team on to better things its certainly don't work with
Arsenal, otherwise we would have won at least 2 league titles and maybe a CL title in the last 10 years.....
«Playing for Barcelona's academy
team and breaking all
kinds of records was a great experience for me, but then I had the chance to catch the
Arsenal train and I took it.
With these
kind of games,
Arsenal will never be able to win against big
teams.
Silly thinking from a lot
of people on this site why would cavan come to
arsenal it's people on this site been slating players and manager for months and you expect the like
of cavan to come to
arsenal in that
kind of atmosphere think again, criticism
of the
team and manager to a point but some
arsenal fans have taken it to extreme level with the
kind of language banded about
Sanchez is not irreplaceable, if he wants to leave he should be sold coz even with him in the
team,
arsenal still finished 5th anyway.Tht means he ai nt tht kind of player to carry a team in his shoulders by scorin crucial goals where nobody would imagn a goal could come l, he's jst a team player like anyone else jst his work rate is abit higher Another fact, players who desire quitin a team dnt always have tht team in their hearts, they jst work for money.So Sanchez or whoever wants to leave to b allowed, Arsenal will still

If Stoke and Swansea can beat the likes
of ManC and ManU away, and a
team on the verge
of relegation like Sunderland can beat title chasing Chelsea away, then why can't
Arsenal get these
kind of results?
Out
of this he should spend that Lacazette money on Lukaku or Morata or Aubameyang.Morata is a player who I feel should he be given a
team where he's the main man he's going to score a lot
of goals.There's more to come from him.I think he'll do well here.It's a shame he usually warms the bench at Madrid.It makes him seem overrated but he's not.Lukaku has the height, physique, quality, speed, power, technique and finishing that
Arsenal need in a striker.He looks like that
kind of player who'll bang in a lot
of goalsif given the chance in a top
team.Aubameyang is very very fast and clinical and at his age he's at his best.If we sign him it's more likely he'll be here for a while than most
of the two due to his age.
The only
teams Arsenal can do business with now are these
kind of teams with lesser financial muscle, appear, CL football and appear to some extent, good luck to waiting for bigger
teams to get tired
of a player offering them, seems to be the norm at the club now.
16 years worth
of Champions League experience and money and that is the
kind of display Wenger and his
Arsenal team can produce.
This is why the top players at
arsenal get fed up because he should be at a West Ham
kind of team not
arsenal.
In addition,
Arsenal can also try and step up the physicality against a
team who are not very used to that
kind of play.
I see people talking
of Spurs and their all round
team but what would happen if Spurs were to get the
kind of injuries
Arsenal has had?
U wish someone death and u still get thumbs up?What
kinds of retards do we have on this forum.A bunch
of good for nothing internet freaks who only manage the
Arsenal team behind desktops.
The likes
of Lacazette on 200k per week and Kolasinac on 150k per week would happily join us 10 times over even in this crisis status
of ours because at the end
of the day there are not that many other
teams that will afford the
kind of money they are on at
Arsenal.
Ronald Koeman or Bergkamp those are the
kind of people i would like to see manage
arsenal after about 10 more years i know many
of you always say thierry henry blabla but i do nt really think that he is that intelligent to manage a
team like
arsenal..
I would have loved yr home
team to play
arsenal same
kind of football.
Many
teams have defeated
Arsenal by using speed demons and
Arsenal did not have answer for that
kind of tactic.
But honestly guys do nt you sometimes look at
arsenal and laugh at them at times like how they keep repeating the same mistakes and looking very awkward.Its
kind of funny the
team itself does not resemble champions at all they look funny so many times even when watching how «they play it look so awkward at times but after all we still love them.
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
if you watch
arsenal place I see so much space and no runs no runs at all only when in the box if you watch Leicester they are always makeing runs all over the place that's how you score goals against a
team like Southampton they controlled the game it was not unlucky just like chelsea can do control the game and won
arsenal players don't believe they can win the title the players in that
team play without heart you know why because Im sure wenger tells them becareful we don't need anymore Injurys what
kind of mentality is that also I will pick out Ramsey he is playing like a player who is leaveing the club he and flamini just don't work Ramsey is not playing good at all wenger can blame make excuses but truth is he is the manager he make the tactics and he gets it wrong all the time giroud has no pace none bench him against some
teams and play pure pace make runs ox Walcott but they don't Walcott has lost it his pace has gone its clear or he fears I jury how if a player is fit put your all in forget injury if you get Injured then so be it but if your fit and your Walcott run put yourself about wenger should leave because he.
bcos he wasn't good enough in the 1st place.Arteta is
kind of irrelevant to this debate.The point is Wiltshere feels that he is entitled to a place in the
team for some reason, which is strange to me seeoing that Wiltshere has been injured for most
of the season, the likes
of Coquelin an Cazorla have driven the
team on, Wiltshere can't just expect to get back in the
team when these 2 have proved more efective.Wiltshere has a future at
Arsenal but he must stay fit an fight for his place, he can't expect to just walk back into the
team
This may be the biggest garbage article put on here sorry for the offense i like the site but this shows the lack
of heart and appreciation and sadness
of arsenal fans no love we've been spoiled for so long we cant lose with honor anymore we made it to a cup final a long way to go for any group i did nt see mu there or liverpool or tottenham and we beat a tough chelsea side in semi final to make there and lost a tough match to the best epl
team by far this season and our fans are such poor losers we couldnt even stay to congratulate the
team for making it that far and giving us the opportunity to go how embarrassing and sad and then try to say no desire i mean lets realistically analysethe game and not listen to so called manchester united scoundrs like Neville who never once cared more about
arsenal than a piece
of mud and then try to disassemble the
team after a tough lost what
kind fans are we.
Finally, if Wenger really cares that
Arsenal go to the next level with Lacazette in the striker's role he will need to surround him with the proper
kinds of players, those who compliment his skills and give him a legitimate chance to lead the line... if they can spread the opposing
teams back line with Sanchez on the left and someone
of consequence on the right (must purchase this individual), this would likely create some space for Ozil in the middle
of the pitch... having 3 players who can not only create their own opportunities, but provide assists and make well - timed runs, could bring some much - needed directness back into our ticky - tack approach
of late... unfortunately instead
of making the tough decisions and spending the supporters money in the right places, we instead have wasted so much time bashing our heads against the same brick wall over and over again and expecting different results..
In some ways, my escalation
of commitment / support for
Arsenal has
kind of ruined my enjoyment
of the Premier League more generally, with rooting for the other top
teams to drop points rather than enjoying the artistry
of the players.
The reason why nobody takes us
ARSENAL fans seriously is because there are a few here that had the balls
of calling on Sanchez to be sold, underperformer, rubbish, when reality is him and Ozil are the only reasons why we are still relevant, then
of course when we call on the real underperformer Le Fraud they call us cry babies, ungrateful and all
kind of nonsense...... Two (2) things were left clear from today's game OG is no striker and Campbell should ask his agent to start looking for another
team where he will be valued for his worth
If Arsene Wenger and the
Arsenal players were slipping into any
kind of a complacent frame
of mind ahead
of the fifth round FA cup tie against the lowest ranked
team still in the famous ould cup competition, then the shock result o9f Lincoln City today should knock it out
of them.
Time for some brutal honesty... this
team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition
of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release
of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a
team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state
of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid
of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy
of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid
of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid
of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction
of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return
of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort
of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative
of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition
of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle
of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any
of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this
kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack
of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result
of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest
of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands
of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none
of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club
of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid
of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field
of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version
of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history
of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet
of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival
of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone
of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players
of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that
of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current
teams to let them go to
Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part
of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet
of those who were well aware all along
of the potential pitfalls
of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
To me, i feel xhaka is well needed in dis new formation (d 3 -4-3) n moreso, he is a typical
arsenal kind of player... can hold on to d ball n distribute it with precision... all we need to succeed with dis new formation is to get a combative football playing midfielder dat can win d ball n move with it... in d mould
of naby keita, verrati n even Everton's gana can do d job or better still, take renato sanchez on loan... doubt if he is going to get enough playing time as he would want at bayern dis season again coz
of their luxury
of midfield player, not sure if he will be in d 1st
team with vidal n thiago alcantara unbenchable n anceloti having a soft spot for kimmich (just as wenger has for Ramsey) I think if we propose a loan deal for renato sanchez dah bayern will grant it
I think
Arsenal medical
team should examine Sanchez» and question what
kind of training he does individually.
Does Olivier Giroud inspire that
kind of belief in this
Arsenal team?
... i believe the
kind of investment that
arsenal puts on the
team is not proportional to the profit thats gained by the club and thats why you will hear year in year out how our returns eclipsed all the other
teams but when it comes to investing in the
team that brings these profits, its the other way round... what is the use
of having money just laying in the bank idle while we can make better use
of it by investing well on it???... i honestly don't believe that we will lift another major trophy with mr arsene as our manager... i just don't see it and if you disagree then care to tell me how
I know that it's too early as only 7 matches being played but still to be able to hold the 3rd position against
teams like
Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and many others just shows what
kind of terrifying form they are in at the moment.

team they condemned before the start

This is the
kind of news that you get as an
Arsenal fan when everything else dries up because we haven't played for over a week and it occurs to me this morning that perhaps we are lucky, because with European Football and a
team that — some exceptions like Forest aside — usually goes a little deeper into competitions, usually affords us around 50 to 55 games a season.
Now if only the real
Arsenal team had this
kind of passion instead
of rolling over for Uniteds reserves!.
