Last season we needed a Defensive midfielder this Fraud of a coach ignored signing a defensive MF player and we had to rely on Flamini till the emergence of Le Coq in midfield which was purely Luck, that season we would have ended in a weak position 7 probably if he did not come around.

obviously I would prefer to have a much more suitable alternative in the defensive midfielder positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots away in and around the top of the box with their most dominant feet... if goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for OX and bring Ramsey in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more of a 3 -1-5-1 with Ramsey playing higher up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud as a sub when the game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team with incredible link - up play and a much more direct approach in the offensive end

Finally, we need to loan out Jeff Adelaide and Geidom Zelalem to a premier league or championship teams or a top division team in Germany or Spain as they are attack minded midfielders to see if they will indeed fulfill that potential.

we played against untd B team, their defence was non existant, made from midfielders, attack not even need to adress, if you cant win this than you wont win anything, lack leadership ffs you play against teen players, and you need leadreship hahahahahahaha Wenger is only one to be blamed, if he loved Arsenal he would never let this happened

They need a defensive midfielder to «hold the fort» whilst they play their game (even if it's not how you'd want them to play it).

Why is Xhaka still in your lineup?He's massively overrated and I'm not even basing it on this one game.I also predicted he'll be overrun in midfield if played today.People should stop criticizing him.It's Wenger's fault he was played when clearly knowing his weaknesses.I warned against this yesterday.I knew he was going to be overrun.It is highly debatable if he was the kind of player we needed in the first place.It's funny how people think Wilshere is done yet apart from passing I can't see which area of football he beats Wilshere.Even Wilshere has a higher IQ.

So as i see we have great (if not the best in the world with bayern) creative midfielders in the world but we just have to goal scorers (alexis and giroud) so these two platers that supposed to score the goals for us must be catogery A + We are having one in alexis but the second scorer and he is even important as he is our striker is not an A + not even A I love this guy called giroud he always gives his best but just his abilities are nit good enough we simply need an A + and he will score for fun for us

The Tottenham man unfortunately may also be needed as a centre - back during the tournament, but if possible Hodgson needs to name Dier and Wilshere in midfield together.

It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

If wenger had been able to combine ozil wilshere and santi earlier we would have had a world class creative midfield still needed attacking options sanche Z is one but need another

Liverpool — Henderson — Gerrard Real — Modric — Kroos Don't get me wrong, we absolutely need a pure DM for tough matches — but spending 25M + + for extra depth in that position is really luxury Vidal is a versatile all around central midfielder — If we play 4 -2-3-1, let him pair with either Ramsey / Carzola and we have a very strong midfield base in both attack and defense.

We are looking very thin carzola wont be back elneny is out until at least the end of February we need to bluster our midfield our attacking midfield yes we can shuffle around with elexis and ozil and iwobi but is it the long term answer no I do nt think so as the attacking midfield is the place where most injuries occur along the side of the defense so if any one else gets injured we will very short and in deep trouble maybe after all we should call upon fabergas if no one else is available on a personal preference I would prefer veratie

we have great fire power with probably the 2nd best creative attacking midfield in the EPL now the problem is that if we get congested in every game just outside the oppositions box there is no way we can score goals with 15 to 18 players in and around you, we need to change the way we play we can not play the million passing the ball game outside the box, we have to draw out the opposition to half way to be able to get behind their deference

The defensive midfielder has been linked with a move to the Emirates for a number of years, but following Francis Coquelin's emergence in the first - team, I'm not sure if there is a need for someone so similar.

So i think to mount a serious title challenge we need at least a Defensive midfield back of a good guilty and if we can get someone who is better than what we have got upfront!

I agree and it's Hummels, Sneiderlin, and Dybala from your list for me... We need some serious presence in our team mainly in the midfield area because we're either too small or weak minded and that's unacceptable to the fans... Love Özil and what he can do but if we manage to acquire players of presence this summer that can no doubt cover him while he floats and he still goes missing then I'm afraid it will have been a very expensive mistake with him... I'm at a point now where I'm completely numb to us losing because I don't expect us to win and that's bad.

corzola is very good at giving us good control when we are up against teams that stand off our midfield, but if we up against a team that presses against us we need power to break through and press back, i saw pogba last night and he was miles above all the players on the pitch, when he came on just ran the whole midfield on his own, wenger should blow all of his next summers budget signing pogba, even if it takes everything we got the kid is the best young c / m in the world atm.

On Loan * Akpom (depends on our striker buy) * Crowley (he needs to step up and fulfill his potential) * Zelalem (had hot and cold season with Glasgow, would be great if he can be loaned out another year) * Maintland - Niles (hot and cold too, plus we are packed on the right) * Bielik (lets see what he is made of) * Glen Kamara (Midfielder that is 21, it is a loan or he will be sold) * Stefan O'Connor * Mavididi (goes on loan so Malen can play first role in U21)

it goes without saying that AW must leave and another coach to come he can stay close to the team as manager or head of board but it is clear that our team is in need for so many years of a defensive midfielder (William Carvalho) and a left back (J Rodriguez) on top of them if we buy Mbappe and this player from Celtic, Dembele i believe our team will be in very good shape as we will have players to cover all spots in good order we can get rid of players such as elneny, gabriel, debuchy, jekinson, lucas, chamberlain, mertezaker, coq and get back jack wilshere who together with ramsey, xhaka, santi they can make a quite productive midfield together with Carvalho watching their backs if we sell ozil, sanchez we can move for 3 more players such as gueye, mahrez and gibson

We need a strong DM to play along side Rambo or wilshire in the heart if midfield and we are sorted.

does anyone think the reports of us getting psg's youngster rabiot are true and if yes is he what we need atm i guessing as he is a big lad he's probably diaby long term replacement i have seen a picture of him and he doesn't look like a very strong build but i am sure a year in the gym will sort that out he would add much needed height to our midfield and he doesn't seem to be a injury prone as diaby he has a good general skill set am sure wenger can convince him with plenty of game time any young french player knows wengers rep with youngsters he should jump at the chance to work with wenger NOW with a bit of strength work he could be a handy d / m also if wenger could mould him to play there,

something new for sure will happen at the very least we will be getting new players the question being who...... a striker with 30 goals abomyang a central defender a midfielder new maneger who diago simone will do well with atlatico or lazio he is connected to them arsenal needs some one within its ranks some one connected to them But today we seen an ugly encounter were certain players should have had the red i think technology should come in to it and players should be disciplined after The premier league is a physical strong competition to win it you got to be very strong very accurate and very demanding and if you do not have the team to do it you do not win our team didn't live to exceptions of last season so there for changes will have to happen

Hull's big striker Jelavic is fit again but only makes the bench but their five man midfield is likely to make this a tough game for the Gunners but one we really need to win if we want that second spot in the Premier League.

All three signings would make perfect sense for Liverpool though in truth, with central defence, especially at left - back and midfield all needing reinforcements if the Reds are going to compete on various fronts as of next season.

So we need to start strengthening our midfield asap (or last days of the transfer window if Wenger is still in charge).

Not with our vulnerable holding midfielders, we need to play Kant's type of midfielder if we want take that risk, eleny and shaka don't retrieve ball from opponent, they run around the field all the time, giroud has prove himself but is time we look beyond him and sign quality players next summer

Chelsea is champion but the will buy De Griezman from Atletico de Madrid they have the best defence in the league, the best Midfield in the league with De Griezman, hazard and Costa they will be came invecibles that what Mourinho want to take from Wenger and do not forget that Wenger will never beat Mourinho, we just need 3 world class players just like Henry said, But Wenger have no ambitions to win the league, next year will be the same excuses why we fail again, Mourinho sold Mata even so he was voted the best Chelsea player the previous two years, and Wenger want to keep ineffective players like Walcott, Wiltshere, Diaby, Flamini, Ryo.Sanogo.Welbeck, sad but that is our fate with Wenger only problem for us the risk of loosing player like Alexis will be great if we do not win next year, we must to buy like Henry said, like Carzola is saying, we lost so many good players because they want to win and they are winning with others clubs.why we do not give ouself a chance of winning the EPL?

As reported by Sky Sports the manager has defended his decision to stick with the same starting XI for all three group games so it looks like he will do so again and if he does need to change things it is likely to be in midfield or attack.

Rw?we've got Walcott, the Ox and Gnabry who can all play on the right, not even mentioning Wellbeck, so if you think rw and lb are our most urgent needs you are either stupid or deluded.Also the same is true if you think that Arteta and Flamini are good enough for our midfield
