Theory no. 8: The reason walcott is
not getting a run in the team is because he is not ready to extend his contract.
When he doesn't get a run in the team, it's no surprise that his frustrations can lead to the wrong decisions on the pitch.
Not exact matches
If you were playing on a Sunday morning and
got caught out by that goal you would be steaming 3 players v 1 and
not one players actually picked him up, so he turns and
runs 60 yards Massive schoolboy error And why is the
team virtually the same barring forced changes What's the point of having a squad WENGER OUT and you will hear this again and again One difference
in the
teams, they play as a
team Ramsey and Alexis awful
it is his fault Bolly from Borehamwood He
gets paid
in excess of eight million a year to have alternatives when things go bad, to motivate players when the
run of play is against them, to buy players who are capable and good enough to
NOT hit the woodwork time and time again, to sell players who are off form and who fail to deliver on thier promised talent,
in effect TO MANAGE the
team.
I am a huge sports fan.I love nfl and college football i never
get enough of it.I am a big soccer [the other football] fanatic.I like basketball, hockey, some baseball and rugby.I am a big jersey buyer i have a lot of jerseys mostly of american football and soccer.I love the strategy of football i think it is fascinating.I have been a falcons fan since 1990 when the went to all black helmets and jerseys i was a fan because of that and because of primetime deion sanders.I have been a falcons fan through thick and thin win or lose they are my
team regardless of how they do.I hope to one day visit Atlanta and see them play at home
in Georgia.I hope to one day see them bring back black jerseys as the home colors.I am still a fan of the
run n shoot offense i truly believe it can work
in the nfl if
ran and merged with some two back formations and a one back three wide one tight end formation.
I just can't watch the
team that I love
get run to the ground
in the hands of greedy bastards that doesn't care about us, peace out all you gooners!
Wilshere should have been brought
in to create and add danger, speed to our game, Walcot some more and Giroud if needed... Ozil being supposed to sit apparently... So, it is no referee, but a
team as reflecting manager... If owners and Wenger himself do
not get a huge container of coffee, we will finish 12 and he will be doing the walk of shame, leave himself remembered as a loser... What they need to do NOW is bring Henry to assist him and do the job, boost,
get players focused with winning spirit he has
in him... Then wenger can sit all season long, bench himself as he does and watch henry do the
running and screaming as other manager dio... Then we will be
in top 3, meaning third; there's now way to ctach up the Manchesters and if we do
nt wake up now, we will fight for fourth place; the spurs will distance us and fight for second or third.
Ive been supporting Arsenal for 65 years to say im dissapointed, well words fail me Why did we let the window slip by and
not do the business
in the begining
get in quick and
get our players signed and out as well but NO we buggered about with the DREAMER for 6 weeks dithering with expensive so called talent and what we
get another Frenchman, soon we will be able to say we have the whole french international
team here The way to go is to boycott the home games and make it known the fans
run the club
not the useless manager or the lackluster board who do
nt know who plays for us and are
not interested
in football per say just the money Buy Kroenke out and let him go as well
this kid had it all and could have been truly great but guess what, you can take the kid out of the hood but you can't always take the hood out of the kid, sterling hangs around with a bunch of idiots who think posting their mate online doing laughing gas is clever and there all living
in London, bringing him
in would be a huge mistake
in my opinion and those of you suggesting to offer theo and money, Im so glad you don't
run the club, theo is the best r winger
in the league when fit, we also have Wellington silva coming back,
not to mention ox to cover or Sanchez if we want to play Danny or mezut on the left, let city have Raheem and let their already volatile dressing room implode, let's
get Cech, lacazette and a solid dm to compete with le coq, sell Chesney to inter for good money podolski could be used as make weight for Morgan or the like release flamini let arteta and Roz have there last season if they choose or let them go if they want more first
team football, Rio to have one more loan Diaby pay as you play and last promote chuba who clearly is going to be an animal, with this I believe the title is ours and if the new 3 settle a real tilt at the cl is possible but please gooners
get behind theo he is absolutely essential COYG
But I am
getting off topic...
In the near 19 years of Arsene Wenger and until May 2014 Liam Brady
running the youth system at Arsenal I can
not remember them releasing / selling a youth
team player that has gone on to be a world class or even top 4
team player.
Let's
get behind the
team as
in let's give the impression that all is well
in the camp and we are content with how things are
run and more importantly how the
team is managed and performs (or
not) on the pitch.
If we start this season with those two
in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never
get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one of these players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this
team for a number of years... this is what I call the «no man's land» of the soccer world, where
teams don't have enough talented young players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to
run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management
team becomes little more than a stagnant group of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead of developing a
team with the qualities necessary to excel
in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard of a
team who plays players out of position so often... of course
not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a
team of any consequence ever again
Team Wong
ran into a very hot
Team Clark, and even a typical performance out of Lane Barlow wasn't enough to
get out
in front
in this one.
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
They
ran into # 2
Team Herz
in Flag Football on Wednesday Night and didn't
get their desired result.
Based on Regular Season Results
getting to the # 3 spot is big
in the sense that you avoid the other middle of the pack
Teams in the Elite8 and also wouldn't
run into
Team Sammy until the Championship Round.
It's a squad that many have been taking notice of lately and for good reason... They are
getting hot at the right time and top
Teams don't want to

Got down big
in the first half to
Team Apuli and although they mounted a 2nd Half comeback they
ran out of gas and just couldn't
get enough stops down the stretch..
been saying this for 3 years now...... on wenger should have added bringing
in a decent centre half with real potential and benching him for a player that would
not get a
run out
in most bottom half epl
teams...
This guy can't even make it

get the money and
run fast, don't liok back.Add Ramsey on the package, for free, just to sweeten the deal!Please, from now on don't even remember Wilshere name, we have a lot bigger problems.He is excactly where he supposed to be-
in a low
team.As a reserve, on the bench, he's
not even good enough for them.Time to
get rid of the mediocrity

There are
not many other surprises
in the Arsenal starting line up, with Petr Cech set to face his fomer
team mates and manager for the first time, Monreal
getting the nod over Gibbs, and Coquelin detailed to provide the back four with good protection and perhaps stop Eden Hazard
running the game.

He's improved his post defense, laughable
in his first two years, significantly to the point where he and DeAndre Jordan aren't the all - flash, all - flop
team, rather an average defensive unit that routinely
gets the better of opposing frontcourts because of their athleticism and commitment to
running the floor.
answer, «no doubt, and maybe the best
team since January 1, if
not for key injuries early
in the season, they would have given chelsea a
run for thier money» I fully agree, now lets go
get 2nd and the FA silverware, we are back!
here's my big hope, is that hopefully with the return of walcott and that win against anderlecht maybe something might (like bad form) break
in the season for us now and we hopefully go on a bit of a winning
run til Jan, we have
not got a really bad fixture til then mostly mid to lower league
team (apart from the pool and united)
not to be underestimated but winnable, we might just save our season till the next window very important period for us if we want to do anything
in the league this season, if
in top 2 or 3 buy jan i for one will be chuffed to bits then with all players back push on from there for massive optimism is my middle name COYG
If you asked me, if Wenger wants him to
get a
run of games then he should be loaned out to some
team in the EPL for a season and
not used to cloud our performances just because he should be given chances when other players suffer and our game suffers.
The Williams thumbnail: Kicked off UConn's
team in 2013 for stealing a teammate's credit card and using it... enrolled
in a tiny Brooklyn college trying to
get his football career back... enrolled at Utah
in 2015... Quit Utah's
team in September 2016, telling head coach Kyle Whittingham he couldn't deal with the mental pressure he was going through... Returned to the
team at the coaches» request a month later when three backs
got injured... After a month away from any physical activity, he
ran for 179 yards against Oregon State, and then,
in his second game, he set the Rose Bowl stadium record for a college
running back, rushing for 332 yards and four touchdowns
in a Utah win over UCLA.
The process of developing a title winning squad by buying one high cost component every year,
run the risk of failure when the other players become disenchanted with the
team along the way, especial if there is
not any trophies, they will want to move on to ensure they win something of substance
in the best years of their career, while this is being done other
teams will be finding the individuals needed to make a proper title
run, some will do this by buying the expensive players and others will scan the various leagues to
get a proper reasonable option to fill their needs.
In fact the whole of the league needs players prepared to
run, you can
not get away with being basically a «goal hanger» like we called them at school, seeking the glory of a goal but
not tracking back and defending with the rest of
team.
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.We need a Striker to, but a good one, someone like Benzema or Cavani, someome who can
get at least 20 goals per season.A new DM is what we need for balance the game, I think Vidal is the best
in the world
in this moment (is just my opinion), he working hard
in defence and can win a game with a long shot.This is the way I see footbal.
It might just be that England don't have Arsenal's fluidity
in breaking down opposition,
teams trying to
get a handle on Ozil Alexis Cazorla Iwobi but then one diagonal
run by Theo they don't see coming is just too much for many
teams.
I don't bash Mert anymore as I used to
in the past though when will Gabriel ever
get a
run in the
team, I didn't figure he was bought as back up but rather un upgrade on Mert.
My honest opinion Jenko is
not good enough, he can
not make it
in West Ham's first
team regular and has scored own goals,
got a few red cards and has
not had a good
run this last 2 seasons..
In fact I can not help but have a grudging admiration for him as a manager because he did run us as close as any Spurs team has in the last couple of decades and he did get them into the Champions League and into the quarter fina

And am sick of the he needs game time after injury argument... He's been match ready for two months or more and should be willing and able to prove he is a first
team contender... instead each time he appears it's the jogging around plus the ocassional darting
run on display again along with the demonstrated ability
not to be able to dribble with the ball the failure to give real defensive support to full back and the persistent fragility
in front of goal... Should be part of a buy one
get one free package with wenger
this season was supposed to be about the epl
not fourth place.just seeing how empty the Emirates was yesterday I expect it to be even worse
in the upcoming games.wenger blew it
in the transfer market, I think that
in itself shows how we lacked ambition and we settled for a top four from the beginning and if by a chance we managed to win epl then thats it.lossing some games, crucial points and the feedback we
got back was just covering the real goals of the club top four.soton home (a
team challenging has to win this game), Crystal palace, swansea, just add those points and see where we could and should hve been.everyone here is a die hard arsenal fan whether an akb or aob but fact remains we love the club, we want the club to move forward, we want the club to be a superhouse, its
got nothing to do with wengers last year or his last chance of epl.this sort of thinking is
running our beloved club to the ground.whether u like it or
not a change is needed and a serious one.at the moment we hve so many bogey
teams do u think arsene will beat them nxt season!!!
Every time the
team is on a bad
run or puts
in a lacklustre performance or simply does
not get the right result, we hear the calls of Wenger out again.
But the fact is that he definitely won't be playing against Man United and I'm expecting Carl Jenkinson to
get a little
run in the first
team....
Shut up you muppet Your a totaly blinkerd fool And why are people coming on here slating English fans all the time How do you know what we think Arsenal is an English club
in an English league so we should be allowed an opinion without being categorised The games we lost the whole
team played badly The games we won we were having our best
run of form for a long time All because jack is injured ha,, you haven't
got it all figured out
Have you watched him play he needs space to
run into to score lots off goals and that is something he won't
get in England where most
teams play against us with 10
in and around the box.
First practice is a funny session
in Formula 1, track conditions are green and it's
not the optimal time to go out and do
running, but
teams and drivers are keen to
get the laps
in.
no one can be that delusional without having Wenger blood
run through their veins... this
team has already conceded 2 of 3
in August and you believe we can
get 45 of a potentially 52 available points before Xmas... no wonder this club can't seem to take it's fan - base seriously, albeit I'm sure your assessment would give the Grinch who stole soccer a quarter chub... anyways, enough talk about the criminally insane with internet access... we have much bigger fish to fry... like what were the real objectives behind the choices made by our lame duck manager on the weekend
Say what you like admin.Even Diaby upon doing nothing for several seasons was able to secure a move to Marseille which to me is a top team.Was it
not last season that before he went to Bournemouth
teams like Juventus and AS Roma were interested
in him?He just needs a league which is
not physical for the mean time.I mean any time he
gets a
run of games he begins to hit top forn and just when things are looking up things go down again.This injury thing is a menace
in our club.Look at the number of games Gnabry has played.But I will urge him to leave Arsenal because all he needs to do is to remain injury free.It's
not rocket science.If Wilshere remains injury free for just one season he'll be great.It's just like the Van Persie case.A lot of people were frustrated with him and cllled him man of glass but I knew he just needed to be injury free for one season.To me he's a better player than Ramsey though Ramsey is on form.He also has the ability to surpass Cazorla and be Arsenal's number one.He's also Arsenall thrugh and through.Arsenal has to solve his injury problems because he's shown that when he
gets a
run of games he can do it.
Monreal is solid (and I do feel more at ease when he is
in the
team) but he's
not getting any younger, and I don't think Gibbs is good enough for our ambitions — he quite often
runs awol and
gets caught out
in the wrong position.
I Say don't sell him i would like to see him
get an extended
run in the
team.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense
in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes
in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess
in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to
get himself
in trouble when he
gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required
in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely
runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling
in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders,
not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national
team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did
get a bit better during some points
in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis
in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself
in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him
in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive
in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the players
in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence
in Real or the space and protection he receives
in the German National
team's midfield, where
teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived
in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or
not surround such a talent with the necessary components...
in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them
in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion
in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin
in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation...
in Sanchez, we
get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often
in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and
in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this
team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place
in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this
team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
this window has just finished i am already thinking about who we will
get for the january window we might try for khedira on a really low offer as he is free agent almost would help boost numbers
in midfield
in the new year as we will no doubt need to filling the numbers about then also i will hold my hands up and say i was wrong this morning for giving wenger stick and saying welbeck is rubbish i have been out
in the cold light of day and had a chance to reevaluate the situation and realized that this could be a canny shrew transfer on wenger behalf actually if wenger can turn the clock back and work his magic on welbeck and
get him scoring goals and improve his game then we could have a great underrated signing on our hands its wengers absolute trust
in him that might be what makes him a great player as this is something that he never had at old mordor if anybody can make him a world beater wenger can he loves this little pet projects improving players against the odds welbeck has the skillset to be high class player upfornt he just needs to work very hard on his finishing i think once he
gets a few goals under his belt he will settle
in fine and he is a
team player you could put him on the left against man city to shore up that side and he will put
in a great shift without a complaint that could be his biggest asset to us or on the right whenever we need him there ithinkwenger might start himon the left against city to protect the left back against navas and i bet you if he does a great job we will take a shine to him quickly i am hopeing he will be one of those wenger gems that he finds and polishes up to a high finish i must admit i was annoyed as some other gunners were at
not signing d / m and c / h but if wenger does win the league with this lot it will be his greatest win yet and what might play
in to our hands is the unpredictable nature of the league
in the last few seasons if we
get on a good
run at the right time we might be hard to stop look at city they should have never lost to stoke but the result is there
in black and white for all to see and i think chelsea will hit the skids after a while to just because cesc and costa are doing well now thats there main threat but
teams will work out how to stop them as the season goes on and chelsea will become predictable i think we might just do well this season after all
Theo Walcott may have scored 20 goals for Arsenal last season, but
in this campaign he can't buy a League game from Arsene Wenger and the rumours are that the 28 year old is desperate to move
in January to seek first
team football to try and
get a good enough
run to impress the England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the World Cup Finals
in Russia this summer.
He was eight - tenths faster than his teammate, but we didn't
get a chance to see where he could have qualified as the
team didn't bother
running either car
in Q2 thanks to a generous serving of engine penalties.
I don't see how any true fan can be happy about the situation we are
in The club goes backwards each year but still fans on here and other social media outlets think that the club are doing great, how can you be happy when we see the same thing year
in year out, scrabble for 4th,
get champions league place, scrabble out the group then
get turned over by the next big
team For me this is
not how a big club should be
run (7th richest club
in world football) Why don't we act like it.
