Useless, but great stats, like our 70 % possession and losing games, he is the leader of that no sense possession, passing, he does most of our passes, then runs to get it back to pass it, gets it back because he just passes and player is stock has to get it back to him... He will be a great journalist pulling stats..

This win for Arsenal over Premier League rivals Manchester United saw a great all round performance from the Gunners, both in attack and defence and there were lots of candidates for the Man of the Match, such as Petr Cech who made three crucial saves, Alexis Sanchez for his two great goals and Theo Walcott for his best game at centre forward, but for me it was Mesut Ozil who stood out with his sublime passing, movement, vision and work rate.

Although Bayern's attackers destroyed AS Roma in the Stadio Olimpico, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer also had to be on top form to make a number of great saves throughout the game.

Their form in the league wasn't great either, as they followed a 5 - 0 thumping of Aston Villa with disappointing draws with Chelsea and Everton, and were then beaten in a crucial game with Manchester United, who won 3 - 2 at the Etihad Stadium with a last - minute winner from none other than Robin van Persie, who was indeed making a huge difference in the title race, as his goal put six points between league leaders United and City, giving Mancini's side a real uphill task to retain their title even before the half - way point of the season.

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...

There always seems to be a double - digit seed that makes an un unexpected run as Cinderella come Playoff time and whoever won this Game had a great shot of doing just that..

We're doing very well in the premier league But doing terribly in the champions league I still think Wenger owes us a league title before he retires... And at least a semi-final at the champions league... Great as the 3 - 0 win was, it's only one game, and it's to soon to make a judgment

Our next game is away to Spurs, so it might be worth making a few changes, but not too many as Leicester are in great form.

Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!

We need to change some players, even if they are good players to make our game more dinamic, more complete.If Walcott will leave, definetly Sterling is the right choose to play with Sanchez.If Bayern will want Ozil, I think we should let him go.I think mutch people will be not agree with this, Ozil is a great player BUT is not a complete player, doesn't have enough speed and is seems sometimes like he is not involved in the game.I think a switch with Gotze can be benefic for our team, he run alot, is creative and make the defensive as well (remember how he take the ball from Ribery at Dortmund).

as long as Ramsey comes back with the form he had at the beginning of last season, part of what made him so great was his defensive work, I think he had an average of 4.4 tackles per game back then.

The Gunners had many shots on targets in that game but to the gallery as most of their shots were directed to Fabianski's hands and thus made him looked great on the night.

As usual Jon you make some good points but with all respect to Leeds, Villa and Forest, no way would Spurs spend the amount of time in the lower leagues [just one year] that those three have spent recently and I'm sure you remember that great Spurs side in their double year dropping their first point after 14 games to Man City and suffering their first defeat to Sheffield Wednesday by the odd goal in three on Boxing day and almost beating our 66 point record [2 points a win in those days] which stood from the glorious thirties thanks to a shock home defeat on the last day of the season by West Brom with their frightening forward line of Jones, White, Smith, Allen, and Dyson and to make things worse the following year the signing of Jimmy Greaves, and don't let anybody tell different without doubt the greatest striker the English game as ever seeAs usual Jon you make some good points but with all respect to Leeds, Villa and Forest, no way would Spurs spend the amount of time in the lower leagues [just one year] that those three have spent recently and I'm sure you remember that great Spurs side in their double year dropping their first point after 14 games to Man City and suffering their first defeat to Sheffield Wednesday by the odd goal in three on Boxing day and almost beating our 66 point record [2 points a win in those days] which stood from the glorious thirties thanks to a shock home defeat on the last day of the season by West Brom with their frightening forward line of Jones, White, Smith, Allen, and Dyson and to make things worse the following year the signing of Jimmy Greaves, and don't let anybody tell different without doubt the greatest striker the English game as ever seeas ever seen.

Flamini filled in as our make shift left back during the champions league where we made it to the final and I am sure with his experience he would be a great option, defensive midfielders read the game well and his distrubution is better than MERT.
