bellerin mustafi chambers... We have a non existent
midfield and a series
of overhyped youngsters... Iwobi, the French kid who was the next Henry maitland miles the polish kid who was the next viera... Etc etc... Some might still make it after loan spells in lower leagues but after 10 years
of cheapskate mismanagement the rot runs
deep and can no longer be treated with a polishing here and there... Your endless reference to FIFA 18 has lost even it's flippancy... The club has entered the second tier
of the EPL and serious supporters need to get behind a campaign to remove wenger and kroenke before we go the way
of leeds villa and forest... All clubs with wonderful pasts just like us

midfield... there is no way we will beat city with lacazette isolated upfront, sanchez chasing shadows trying to press city backline instead
of playing

midfield thereby giving de bryne and silva ample time to pick runners in sane and sterling..

I stop reading when you said «You always hype Cazorla», common @davidrusa, Cazorla is one
of the most underrated players at Arsenal, he was forced to play out wide and then
deep at the
midfield just for not being a 42m player, he was the best player 2 yrs ago, and would have continued the same way if not for Ozil signing...

A
midfield that suits Theo will / may not suit Giroud and that's where the problem lies... I'm sure Wenger has something up his sleeves to have offered Theo and Giroud high wage contracts...

midfielder doing both santi role
of getting the ball
deep to organise play and his usual creative self.
Who the hell picks ozil and tells the

midfielder and he will have a busy day today with the likes
of Costa, Hazard, Willian and Fabregas to deal with.
