The problem is our defence and cdm Flamini: always help the other side Arteta: never was the player than we expect him, he injured most of the time, and lost the ball in dangerous situation Per: he is good just in corners but he is lazy and slow Our good defender is just kosc and chambers And also debuchy but we must play with out him aleast 1 month Gibbs and monreal are good players but they are not good defence So we are very delicate in big and important games

Of course we had the priceless advantage of having real men play for us instead of little timid and afraid children in defence and especially in midfield or attack like Ozil, Walcott and all the other serail coasters who have made a rich living under their benevolent Uncle Arsene, who indulges their timidity and blames the refs, rather than coward players.

Nevertheless, if looking at the three teams in question, it's undoubtedly Arsenal who need to address their defence more so than any other side.

There is no way we are selling Lacazette.He scores goals in France and he will score goals here.What he had at Lyon was a team that played fast flowing attacking football with pace and with a system that was designed o get the best from the players strengths.He has come into a team that had a toxic dressing room (Sanchez) a defence that did everything but defend a system that strictly forbade any player from playing anything other than the Wenger Qiuckstep - Sideways Sideways Backwards Lets all start again.

It's a shame really how people are so plastic over here.We seem to change our views so easily.Why can't people just make up their minds?It's like people don't have stance.As I've been saying and will keep saying we have many good players but as good as they are they're overrated.We've just compromised as a club.There are problems in every single role in the team, from defence to attack.Yet these problems will constantly be ignored.Some players are cleary not good enough but say it and the stats lovers will come out.The main problem wrong with the team is the centre.The other problem is Wenger and his misuse of players.I for one don't really rate Ramsey - Xhaka partnership in a sense that it's defensively weak with Xhaka not good enough defensively and Ramsey very inconsistent.The only player excellent defensively in the centre in Arsenal's team is Coquelin and I think he should be playing though many won'tsee why.Look how easily the balls went through the midfield.Coquelin should be partnered with another CM in our current team.People shouldn't deceive themselves Xhaka that Xhaka isn't a DM.He's just not good defensively admit it.We need a DM more than a CM in my opinion or a hybrid like Sanches or Jankto.

it transpired bellerin isnt is prone to the odd costly mistakes in defence and rather than making him a 100k a week man (before his time) what was needed is to alternate him and debuchy so as each provided the other quality right - back competition.

I agree we should not depend too much on Arteta for long term — but if we buy another midfielder we should get someone different from Coquelin with decent defence ability — an all around midfielder like Vidal who had won 20 duels in 2 copa games, more than any other players in the tournament.

In the premier league maybe you do need someone who's a bit rougher than you would in other leagues but still you only have 6 players in front of the defence and ideally every one needs to have a good all round game.

Well written, but I think it will fall on deaf ears, my fear is as follows, it will take a loss in money for the manager and board to change, this will only come if we finish out of the top 4, but knowing the board they would still give home a season to try again, I feel very sorry for Sanchez, he is total quality and deserves better, most of the other players look settled, turn up give70 % and get paid, no matter what level you play at you should come off the pitch thinking I gave everything, how many of our players could say that, they lack motivation, player for player we are as good if not better than athletico Madrid but they have a manger that gets 100 % out of every player, Klopp is the same, but why would they leave their clubs to come here with a boar that cares about money not entertainment, Wenger was a lucky manager he inherited a top defence now his luck has run out

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

The 26 - year old also revealed that many of his amazing defence splitting passes that no other players seem to see, are the product of his footballing instinct rather than a specific training regime or even a plan.

It therefore means that duels, defence, and discipline statistics are more important to Francis than any other statistics.

I would rather we beat a lower team 3 - 0 or 4 - 0 and got a couple more 1 - 0 wins in other matches, than beat a lower team 6 - 1 and draw blanks against stubborn defences.

The defence too just about every - one of them other than Cech.

And then there are more defensive teams with relatively little goal potency elsewhere on the field who rely to a very significant extent on the goal returns from their lone centre forward (think Costa at Chelsea last year, aside from Hazard they could not rely on goals from too many other sources other than the centre forward position, or Atletico in 2014 strangely enough with Costa again, or Martinez at Porto (admittedly not quite so defence minded) in 2013 where no other player got in to double figures).

He was missed more than any other player in midweek, as the Spurs defence was exposed time and again.

Unlike Debuchy who automatically wanted to be first choice even if Bellerin was performing way better than him, Giroud actually delivers when called upon from the bench, Giroud's only sin is that he is not blessed with pace to break clear of defences but in every other aspect, he is the perfect striker, even Ozil's assists dried up when Giroud was absent.

Kolasinac 7 — Also sloppy at times but much better than the others in defence and a real threat the other way.

And the other annoying thing is not replacing Gabriel — on the edge of being a first team member, and definitely preferable to Coq and Elneny in defence, yet we didn't think to replace him, and as soon as we get an injury, which fair enough was Mustafi, rather than the more expected Koscielny, but to expect our defence to go through the season uninjured, with Kos carrying a semi-permanent injury and well into his 30's is pure madness.

Other than the second goal, kept Gomis quiet, but looks uncomfortable in defence, which will be a worry for van Gaal.

And pace is only a threat when you know how to use it Walcott was caught offside endlessly yday so I don't see where the deep defending theory comes from other than idiotic British football pundits...

On the bright side... we're making more chances than any other team, defence looking good.

as long as this guy monreal areteta flamini and ramsey are the basis of our defence and the link to forward play arsenal will be nothing other than a 4th place team... at best... this has been obvious for 3 years now and the only reason we are in this position is the manager... greed and stupidity are at the root of the problem and a 3 year 8m quid contract is indicative of a club that is rotting at the core

If we have three strikers, and the other two are better than Giroud, I'd keep Giroud for his aerial ability, offence as well as defence.

Yes, but merely being much better than the dreadful Xhaka, who is to defence what a pat of hot butter is to a knife, in other words, helpless, still does not mean Coq is good enough.

In the 2012/13 Premier League season Cech made 118 saves - «far more than any other goalkeeper at a club pushing for a top - four spot - «as Chelsea's central defence revolved in front of him, with concerns over John Terry's fitness and David Luiz's fitness for purpose as a centre - back, while behind him the crowd took vocal exception to the interim manager.

West Ham, on the other hand, will need to up their game considerably from that on display during their defeat at Anfield although the prospect of facing a pair of Ayews is far less formidable than what the Merseysiders had to offer; even for West Ham's timeworn and dawdling defence.

Other than that, tough to see how Burnley's leaky defence can withstand this test.
