of law Ronald Rychlak (best known
for his book Hitler, the War and the Pope, a well - researched
defence of Pius XII's record during the Second World War), which spells

This logic
of gratuitousness, learnt in infancy and adolescence, is then lived
out in every area
of life... once it has been assimilated it can be applied to the most complex areas
of political and economic life... It is here that the lay faithful are called to give generously

of the Church's Social Doctrine,
for the sake
of authentic secularism, social justice, the
defence of life and
of the family, freedom

After all, a score draw would see us go
out, so having the clean sheet specialists back in the centre
of defence is great news
for Arsenal.
One sunny day in June doesn't make a hot summer... part
of our 4th place junkie years that need to go in to football history... He maybe quick but he actually slows down movement from
defence to attack Can't dribble or defend and his positional sense is average... Hundred grand a week is day light robbery by the whippet... And he crowds
out better plays in squad and stops wenger investing in top quality we need... Might get 16 or 17 mill from some deluded team so sell qnd let's move on to better things... Dybala
for example... Sanchez dybala drexler... Hmm
With Arsenal already looking as short as a sausage dog in
defence, with Gabriel and Per Mertesacker ruled
out for quite a while, not even Arsene Wenger would think it was a good idea to let one
of the few central defensive options left at the Emirates leave the club, whether om a temporary or permanent basis.
On positioning, while i have little problem with his positioning from set - pieces or edge
of the box, on the break he is is inadequate and while that in some part speaks to his inability to change from a high line keeper he often relies on his
defence to cover
for his poor decision making to get him
out of trouble on those occasions.
I
for one think that our midfield should work
out of their socks in order to protect our vulnerable
defence.
Yes, he may not play an exiting brand
of football, but he'll sort
out the
defence, and he can work on a smaller budget than what Wenger has (
for all those fans that say it's all about the money).
I'd settle
for a George Graham
defence right now... might have been boring but we need some real defenders and midfielders... we were totally

of the team was totally wrong..

out for Aubameyang... Gabriel ll learn English and with more games will develop an understanding with Koscielny at the heart
of defence.
When we lose the ball the rest
of the midfield and
defence need to be the ones to drop off, close the man down and put in a challange, once done Ozil is then available to be your option
for the «
out ball» and to get us moving on a counter.
During his 18 months at the Merseyside club Johnson has repeatedly failed to inspire, often finding himself
out of position and unable to balance attack and
defence and Kenny Dalglish may well listen to offers
for his services.
Even they know their
defence is rubbish — why do you think they were so desperate
for V V Dyke — and they want the ball
out of their area ASAP!
Don't know why we didn't use the OG situation to try and get David Luiz — yes I know he can be a loose cannon, but he's
out of favour, and would be looking
for a move
for the World Cup, and he'd be better in
defence than 17m...
The Slovenia international has had a strong
defence in front
of him in Diego Simeone's side, but has also stood
out with some great reflex saves between the sticks

Honestly it comes down to the defensive side
of things and I would prefer if sanchez played
out on the wing becuz he offers more defensive cover
for the
defence.
The ball was worked
out to Hector Bellerin, and the full - back played a great ball in front
of the
defence for Alexis Sanchez.
So the fact that he confirmed his interest in the young English defender Tyrone Mings, as reported by The Mirror, is fairly
out of character
for the Prof.. The 21 - year old is currently playing in the Championship
for Ipswich Town and his usual role is as a left back, but at 6ft 3in and with his power and pace, it is thought that he could easily make the switch to central
defence, which is coincidentally the weakest part
of the Arsenal squad right now.
I am an Ozil hater and I will say why I hate Ozil, Ozil is not a goal threat which would allow other attackers more space, Ozil job is not only to assist but also to score goals, he drops
out of sight when placed under pressure, does not provide the team with a lift in dire moments (
for our so called big player) and only concentrate on team
defence for a few minutes.
The pair could even be made available
for the upcoming tie with Watford this weekend, with Gabriel Paulista and Per Mertesacker already ruled
out of the
defence with injury, although the striker will more than likely start his Arsenal career on the bench.
His performances
for the national side are outstanding, however, as a composed centre back who is comfortable at bringing the ball
out of defence.
Football like life is uncertain... What is certain however is that following the same failed strategy year after year and expecting a different result is a sign
of ineptitude if not madness... Our best 11 ain't up to it largely because it doesn't threaten and unthreatened teams also mean there is more pressure on our
defence as well... So a bit
of tinkering in the middle
of park ain't going to deliver titles that is
for sure... Draxler plus a mobile striker is needed... So unless the idiote grenouille is willing to shelve
out 80m can kiss titles goodbye now... He can recover 30 - 40m with obvious sales
of mediocre attacking options so not too onerous but at this rate it's déjà vu all over again
What worried me wasthat we were over loading on the left, dragging there
defence out of shape at the end leaving Joel Campbell free, but he never received the ball although he continuously called
for it..
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
I have been looking at the French champions as we prepare
for this match and they have quite a few problems
of their own, especially in
defence where both
of the left backs are
out of action, as is the right back Serge Aurier formerly linked with Arsenal.
His pace and movement are a nightmare
for defences and make them play that 10 yards deeper, bringing the best
out of the likes
of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
Wenger will be keen
for the
defence to iron
out their lapses
of concentration during the Spurs game, but Le Prof is hoping to see a strong response from his whole team on Tuesday.
He is not Coquelin though in a sense that he isn't as extremely fast and mobile, and
for that reason he needs somebody like Rambo, who covers a lot

of screening the
defence and passing
out of it.
The La Liga giants have had to use players
out of position to take the veteran Spaniard's spot in the centre

A man who disses the whole concept or necessity
for a tight

out of top level football and sent to manage on HACKNEY MARSHES, DIVISION 8, where he will find his Utopia, teams playing like Arsenal
defence.

of, if he can avoid fouls and play acceptable
defence.
We were all having a laugh at mourinho's
defence of a team that went down three nil and outplayed yet fans take these totally stupid comments by wenger seriously... The man lost the football plot 5 years ago if not before and has convinced himself the board and enough fans that 4th place is sufficient
for arsenal fc... It's actually sad as a couple
of quality signings would give us a shouting chance at least... Instead he talks up a bunch
of massively overpaid players who would not look
out of place in Everton spurs or villa but are not close to european elite
He IS getting on at 38, but, as long as he is fit, not TOO slow, and, can use the ball

of slight injuries, to come in
for the odd game, Cups, then why not.
This win
for Arsenal over Premier League rivals Manchester United saw a great all round performance from the Gunners, both in attack and
defence and there were lots
of candidates
for the Man
of the Match, such as Petr Cech who made three crucial saves, Alexis Sanchez
for his two great goals and Theo Walcott
for his best game at centre forward, but
for me it was Mesut Ozil who stood
out with his sublime passing, movement, vision and work rate.
The reason Kane scored was not that our
defence was
out of position but because he is a great striker who jumped early and then illegally prevented Kos from jumping
for the ball by pressing down on his shoulders.
Every single Arsenal fan in the world saw Per Mertesacker duck
out of the way when Martin Skrtel headed the equaliser
for Liverpool against Arsenal last week, but
of course Arsene Wenger has come
out in
defence of the big lumbering German.

out of favour at AC Milan this season, Adil Rami has emerged as a target
for United in
defence.
Not very confident tonight on account
of our
defence and midfielders to make it worse arsene still goes on about quality in the squad, yeah quality alright only if you know how to get the best
out of them unfortunately wenger doesn't that's why a lot
of player's don't want to sign
for arsenal

of words
of criticism, from pundits and Arsenal fans alike, blaming last weekend's defeat to Chelsea on Per Mertesacker
for getting himself sent off in the 20th minute, but Arsene Wenger has come
out in
defence of the Big Flippin German saying that he has also been Arsenal saviour in the past, but he does agree it was a mistake by the experienced defender.
My four man
defence is Debutchy, Martesacker, Konsienly and Flamini (Yes Flamini in the LB position instead
of Monreal who had a nightmare
outing against Lukaku last season) Middle, Chabers as DFM, Ox as AM and Ramsey as second striker operating from the advanced midfiled position, Sanchez is my RFW, Campbell in the LFW and Giroud / Sanogo in the center to form a 3 forward unit... i would predict 2 - 0
for gunners with such a line up
