more against top teams with strong defenses and huge matches.
Not exact matches
If Wenger can't be motivated enough to take some revenge on Mourinho, not even for the sake of the fans, after 12 losses... If his can ship 17 goals in 3 games
against top level opposition and still continue with a similar approach to games, then I don't know what will ever really drive this guy to overhaul his tactical approach to compete
more fiercely
against big
teams...
Having said that we are even struggling
against none
top 6
team and can't win
more than 2 or 3 in a row.
May sound perverse but I think a

team likely to dominate and walk away with it and all dropping a few points
against each other.

If you look at Wilshere clearly he has these matches since his injury where he starts to get back to his old self.Honestly, I see an injury free Wilshere being world class even if it's not with us.The talent in him is just too much and only these repetitive injuries can hold him back.I don't see him becoming a normal player because even when you look at his Bournemouth loan which was okay the way he performed
against the
top teams shows he will make it.He's better than Ramsey but
more injury prone.If he had Ramsey's fitness he'd be better.However, it's best we sell him with a buy back clause or send him on lian to aid his development.

We lost so many games
against top 4
teams in the past couple of years, that one win won't erase it all (let's not get ahead of ourselves) but if we can keep getting such win by putting not only a fluid and great offensive display but also grit and composure in defence; our win today and the way it happened will be the first step in the right direction... our best players being fit will help too: it looks promising, as a GUNNER today I can celebrate and hoping for many
more!!
you wont see a cazorla or a xavi losing possession, not only that but they drive the
team forward.but unfortunately u hav players like ramsey, who do nt drive the attack like the above two, also he loses possessions sometimes by attempting fancy moves.its sad ramsey gives
more importance to style over substance.unfortunately, i feel players like ramsey hav contributed to arsenal's inability... imagine a
team like barcelona playing with him, constantly losing posession leading to conceding goals and so on.difference is barca's manager wud take them out, while under wenger u r rewarded with the nxt game!!!! i do nt deny he was
top notch a season or two back, but now hes a liability imo and need to change his mentality.even that opportunity he got
against tottenham where thought longer before taking a shot thus giving defender time to get to him and take off the ball.i bet if it was cazorla, arsenal wud hav scored...

simple, we were
top of table
more than any other
team last year, only loss in back that started was sagna, we managed last year w arteta & flamini, of course I want to strengthen there, but the glaring issue to me is at striker, we have a full complement of good to mediocre strikers, adequate but not going to compete season long
against city and chelsea, in my opinion, back line fine, DM needs upgrading, attacking midfield strongest in EPL, central striker??? put a thierry henri on this squad in his prime, we win the league,
1996/7 was his first (part season) where he formally took over at (If I can recall correctly) around mid-late October.We had actually started the season fairly well with Pat Rice holding the reins until Wengers contract was up in Japan.And that was following a particularly bad run of pre season results I remember.Anyway you will recall we qualified for the UEFA CUP with a late Bergkamp screamer (oh how I worshipped that player)

team and with talk of
more top players arriving we were all very encouraged and dare I say it?

team player, defensive duties (set - pieces), injuries Benteke - Hold up, short pass, better dribbler, long shots, finishing, positioning, defensive duties (set - pieces), can play with his back to the goal and also drop deep and face the goal when marked weakness: Giroud - very slow, easily marked, poor finishing (not wc finisher), technique Benteke - injuries, not a hard worker If you look the stats for the since 2012/2013, they have almost similar records except that Benteke scored like total of 19 goals (correct me if I'm wrong) in his 1st season and also have a decent record
against top teams, keep in mind he plays for AstonVilla not Arsenal where you get much
more chances and better players around.

Our midfield is already way too congested.No decent backup for Coquelin though.If we get Wanyama we get a player who knows the league already and is a
