We could argue all day long about Wenger and if or not his training methods have made
players more injury prone but sadly it is what it is and with a heavy heart we shouldn't offer him a contract unless on

team ahead

The biggerst problem or elephant in the room, again IMHO, for Wenger and Arsenal is the realization that there are a handful

As

In addition, if neither Cazorla nor Ramsey improve their game by a mile, i reckon Ox (for ramsey) or Sanchez (for Cazorla) should take their place on the
team and put Poldi on the left winger (or even Campbell on the right) They do nt even have to be bad, this could even be nothing more than a proposition on how to rotate the squad in the way
of avoiding injuries on
players, as well as giving frustrated benchwarmers some
much appreciated time on the pitch.

team which lost against Psg, they are nothing special, they will win league, but to consider them that

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
Sanchez — by far the most threatening
player on our
team, especially considering that Ozil has never been a goal scoring machine throughout his career... wished he and the
team had dealt with the whole situation in a
much better fashion because even if he end up staying his time here will always be tainted by the memories
of this year... Wenger has always hated confrontation but this isn't like the crazy years
of Bendner or even the back - and - forth that he would have experienced with leaders like Viera or Keown, this was a battle between a guy with a lust for winning versus a manager who had lied about being the same
it could be a bigger than we anticipated summer in terms
of players in and out wenger will look to recoup as
much as he can for out goings getting any unwanted high earners
of the books might be an options like poldolski his # 100,000 p / w his unwarranted for what he brings to the
team, as might be walcott he is at a crossroads now in his arsenal career he can either stick it out with us and show us the respect the club deserves for paying and making him the
player he is today.

Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club...

OT: My wishes: — Wenger to stop playing Mert ahead
of Gab... this is a must — Wenger being ruthless and stop being stubbornness «big wish» — Wenger to change his transfer policy «big wish as well» — Not count on very injury prone
players (Wilshere, Walcott, Ox, Welbeck), take them only as a bounce because they would never stay fit... It is a dilemma because they are all quality home grown
players, so I can not say «get rid
of them all» — Give our smart attacking
players (Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil) what they need, a striker... that is a must — Strengthen the flank with another quality because all the sights now on Sanchez — Get rid
of useless
team players (Campbell, Flamini, yes they are useless) and replace them with better
players (promote or buy good ones)-- Loan Chamber... 16M is too

But it's hard to overstate how
much more marginal the three was to the game 35 years ago (
of course this is inherently the problem with these kinds
