As a team we look very weak, Our
midfield have no bite to them as we keep buying little fancy
players but they are no good
at tackling and getting stuck in, Santi for me this year do nt want to play maybe he is looking for a move!!!! Jack in in and out of games he is so inconsistanat, Arteta past his best and needs to be replaced, Wenger needs to look
at the time and improve it, Last year we got Ozil this year we got Alexis but we are not using them to there full potental, Ransey is class but we can keep hoping for is magic to get us out of shit, Giroud for me is a waste of time we need a top top forward he battles away but he is far below the class we need,

players available that we can buy if we want.plz wenger go for
at least one of this: kanté, wanyama, w.carvalho, l.bender, krychowiak, biglia, neves, l.gustavo, rabiot... if we try to sign s.roberto he will be a good addition with great quality.gunner for life!!!

Coutinho is the real problem for me in that Liverpool team.He can destroy
midfield strategies.That's why I worry when I see us with no DMF.Years back (14/15) I remember Coquelin back pocketing Coutinho yet it's likely Wenger will bench him for no reason.That guy has so much potential if only he's used wisely.He has the abilityto mark
players out of a game and intercept many passes.I know many of you will call me stupid and say he's average but imagine if Coquelin was used in a very defensive sense.Being brilliant tactically is all about producing the best system with the
players you have and clearly that's not what's happening.I already lose hope when I see Kolasinac and Bellerin
at WB whsn clearly it doesn't suit them.WB's are so important in a 3 back but clearly we've ignored that.
The
player is the England international

Leaves a world record
player on the bench in favour of a lumbering
midfielder who won't be

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
I know he has that burst of speed that can take out 2 or 3
players in flash, similar to what Rosicky does
at times, but surely the primary attribute of a top central
midfielder is quick incisive passing, great first touch and speed of thought.
Our defence does have frailties, and you could argue that if we were stronger
at the back we could free up another
player for our
midfield or attack, and that could potentially open us up to win many more matches.
We
at Arsenal pay the highest ticket prices in the country, and we have rarely seen all that excess profit spent on
players when we need them, such as Arsene Wenger's refusal to sign a defensive
midfielder until this January, despite lacking in the role since Vieira's departure in 2005.
wenger is a legend in his own mind so other peoples opinions... fans, ex
players, journalists, etc... have no bearing on his greatness or the righteousness of his own decisions... from end of last season it was clear we needed two quality attacking options to put up a serious challenge (getting rid of walcott and campbell or ox and bringing in a serious upgrade over giroud) instead he brought in another
midfield option (having done the same in the winter window) which only makes sense in his own delusional world rather than the reality of facing up to serious and strengthening competitors and which defines the job
at hand....

Of course, losing wingers Robben and Ribery will have forced his hand slightly here, but it still shows a lack of a Plan B that Pep couldn't bring out a similar threat from other
players like Gotze and Muller, who can both play wide, or indeed use Lahm in his preferred position of right - back and utilise his quality from there — in fact, the former Germany captain's use as a
midfielder since this manager's arrival is one of many examples of his attempts

midfield he ran after the ball he closed down
players very well I do nt know what match you were watching but I suggest you watch it again and keep an eye on elneny and what he is doing debuchy was commanding and even took a yelow for the team have a look
at the stats and how many balls we intercepted and how many fowls the game was pure tactics west ham had no chance this is the level of football for me it is top level because you go out there you control the game you boss it you win it for me the team effort was 100 % the work rate was 100 % and if you want to learn football this match is a text book match to observe learn and execute

at the back as well as
midfield and rest some of the better
players all while going full steam ahead.
potential and injury prone
player can't win you titles... i know i might sound too harsh to some people but i think it's time for us to cut our losses on him so that we can bring in fit and world class
midfielder at 25 he should be bossing our
midfield but we all know the STORY..
