Not exact matches
If we signed Lukaku he would instantly be first choice striker (no matter what Wenger says about Giroud being first choice)
because if Wenger spends # 40 - 50M he's not going to
leave that person on the
bench.
In the past it was Podolski who
left in frustration
because after scoring in a match he found himself on the
bench for the next three matches or more.
I certainly hop that our little Mozart has a bit more
left in the tank
because he is a truly class act and even if we can only get about 20 games from him and a lot of them from the
bench I reckon Rosicky is the best and most natural replacement for Mesut Ozil that Arsenal have.
In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the
left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category
because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their
bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his
left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)
3 points, thanks alexis... so, where are those who wants alexis on the
bench because of he lose too much the ball... those who wants a team with 11 elnenys, passing sidelines, 98 % of posession but losing 1 - 0 anyway... god helps us when alexis
leave the club... there sre a lot of people who needs to
leave the club... alexis is the last, arsene rhe first... and some morons were talking about iwobi or welbeck being better than alexis??
In my opinion at least one of these players will be making the move during the summer
because although six players for two positions may come in handy when there's an injury concern or suspension, it
leaves some players on the
bench or not in the squad at all.
As soon as those players enter the pitch they are
left on their own and they are the ones who have made the results over the years,

bench has no input (they won't know how to affect the play anyway).

left foot, but any position is good for me as long as I'm playing football

... I do think we should be brave, and yes that means
leaving either Ozil or Cazola on the
bench - its a better shape, and allows Campbell or Podolski to play on
left, and give us good threat from that side — particularly when Gibbs isn't playing,
because Monreal not as good going forward
Yet If Arsenal want the best out of him then Wenger must show serious trust in his abilities even after Xhaka's return
because part of Elneny's slight turbulence in form this season has been due to the addition of Xhaka who's presence seriously affected Elneny's moral and those who deep into things would've noticed the difference between last years Elneny (prior to Xhaka's acquisition) and this year's Elneny with majority of games Elneny coming off the
bench yet the very last few games he started before the AFCON have boosted his confidence back and that very much reflected on his last performances before
leaving to an extent that surprised quite a few!!

I may be wrong but I have a feeling that Arsene Wenger's decision to
leave Granit Xhaka on the
bench for the thumping Champions League win over Ludogorets Razgrad was taken in part

Wenger may think it is simply the Press making a scapegoat out of Ospina, and Wenger as well
because he has bought one of the best most experienced keepers in the Premier League, and then
left him on the
bench!

because the result was any sort of a surprise as Anfield has not been the happiest of hunting grounds for the Gunners in recent years, but

So when Wenger
leaves I'm sure we will improve not got worse
because Wenger is still not bedding up the squad enough we are 1 Centre half away again from having a youth team boy on the
bench covering our centre half's, no new DM
because he gave Arteta the arm band that decision was baffling to me.
But please also understand when we let good players
leave because of our strict wages system (no really outstanding salaries for even our best players) we had been wasting like 300 - 350K every damn week to keep the likes of Park, Chamakh, Bendtner, Squillaci, Denilson or Santos warming the
bench or — what's worse — f*cking the game up on the pitch.

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

Alexis already has 18 PL goals this season and should gey 20 + Alexis wont do that on the
left because its more tiring there and he has to defend more Cf Is perfect for Alexis Giroud should come off the
bench as SuperSub.
It's like the whole move of Petr Cech is what has caused Chelskis's downfall... Well hang on a second, we sold them Cashley and Cesc, who undoubtedly gave the EPL title last season, Cech was on their
bench, not being played, wanted to get out
because his international career was at risk, wanted to stay in London and only had a year
left on his contract.

bench for the first game of the Premier League campaign that was a surprise to many Arsenal fans and other football watchers,

(by the way I d loe Ospina to take the
bench but apparently he is
leaving because Wojo is ome row BS something)
Sanchez / Welbeck Lacazette I want us to play 4 -3-3 so that we can match Liverpool in the midfield as I don't want us to be overrun.Xhaka can't defend and he should not start this match and if possible all other matches for the rest of the season.Coquelin's tackles has caused us to score some goals every single season he's been here and I think we've missed that this season.I just don't know why he's been
left on the
bench because if paired with the right partner can be used in a very defensive sense to great effect.Our team is so poor tactically.
Look let's face it these fringe players won't

I know Trotz won't do it
because he's too scared to
leave a veteran on the
bench, but what about Grubauer?
I'm not certain how it would play out but it would have been interesting to see Perez playing in a front 3 with Sanchez and Lacazette, with Perez on the right, but in order to do that we would need a true defensive midfielder so that we could still have Ozil in the middle, playing behind the front 3, and Sead and Ox / Bellerin taking turns making wide side runs... unfortunately Wenger has made sure that could never happen
because it would require buying the proper back 3 to handle this situation and he would have to
bench his beloved Walcott and Ramsey on a regular basis... like I said before, I'm very concerned that Wenger will play Lacazette out wide on the
left with Giroud in the middle, which means Sead will likely be in the back 3 and Ox will be played in the
left wing - back position, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever... God, I hope I'm wrong
We could afford to have Sanchez on the
bench and not starting
because he has agreed personal terms already with Man City but Arsenal have not yet agreed the fee with them.Once the fee has not yet been agreed then nothing's done.Sanchez's move is 50 % complete.It's
left with the fee.Personal terms have already been agreed.Him not starting was to not risk him for the possible move.
Arsene Wenger really is keen to stick to the winning formula that Arsenal have found either side of the recent international break,

bench, with Flamini preferred alongside Elneny in the central midfield area.
As much as I want us to sign top quality players whenever possible I think it won't actually matter
because Wenger is just going to continue playing people out of position or making tactical errors like
leaving Cazorla, Oxlade - Chamberlain and Xhaka on the
bench yesterday, or playing Alexis up front on his own.
i think we will make fourth spot this season if we get to keep Sanchez that is if Sanchez starts to play like he did yesterday, i think
because lack of squad depth the likes of Spuds, Liverpool and possibly Chelsea will start to drop points in Feb by losing first team players to injury after busy Christmas scheduled and busy CL scheduled, we on the other hand should be topping the group on Thursday night football playing with mixture of youth and
bench players hopefully
leaving our first team rested and fit, February we have three big games Everton home, Spuds away and City home, hopefully we do well
