Sentences with phrase «out of the squad when»

Wenger had a dig at West Ham players for giving it easy to Liverpool, but he should only blame himself for the fact he left Sanchez out of the squad when we went to Anfield and the fact that from January till mid April it looked like the players didn't care at all.

Not exact matches

Instead we had a squad that does what it always does which is fall apart at the seems as a results of injuries and, IMO, bad mentality or weak will power, resulting in a run of results when it mattered most (as per usual) taking us out of contention early in 2016.

-- consistent injury issue — no signings (when we need them and there are better players out there than we have in our team / squad)-- no strength in depth (kids, or not sufficient quality bought)-- no consistency in performance (motivation)-- tactical nativity and inflexibility — players played out of position or too Many like minded players accommodated in same line up.

He should have picked either Chambers or Holding to start in the back three with the first league fixture in mind when Konscielny will be sitting out a ban.Playing the Ox as a makeshift left sided wing - back is hardly going to persuade him to sign a new contract on the basis that he's an integral part of the squad....

(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the teams in the premiership and those we could face in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to have a manager who can prepare this squad for this eventuality and have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I have seen nothing in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he would replace a small, pacy striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager in the world that plays more players out of their natural positions (square peg in a round hole)

Why does everyone say we can afford this and that to me I'm not so sure we have cash from with in or out there's a lot not adding up like when we just bought Cech does not make sense we buy lacasette but sead kolasnic was free I'm not sure we have da cash and if we do can we spend or do we have sell like debuchy got 70 grand a wk most of us wouldn't make that in a year just think about that, he didn't play at all and that's why we haven't da money and sanogoal like cum on cut da squad pay the real players, manage da club get world class players and great squad players

YES we can there is a team spirit (when it come to the EPL) in that changing room that we want this you can see the drive / hunger / passion We just need to take it a game at a time and hold out till Jan when we will have more of the squad back so we can rotate better.

In Week 3, we'll have an early clash of the titans in Student City Game of the Week, when the only two Undefeated squads remaining battle it out for the # 1 spot in the Power Rankings and Standings.

The Chilean has been a breath of fresh air and his untiring energy galvanized the Gunners in the first half of the season when we had half our squad out injured.

You cant escape he fact that Podolski was played rarely and when he was he was played out of position much the same way that Wenger has assembled a squad of players most of which are a talented bunch, but, Wenger has failed to build a team who fit n with each other, we have a midfield that overtly populated with players who al excel in the same role BUT have no solid defensive midfield talent and no options in defence when players have crap periods or are long term injury problems.

but go back and watch a replay of a game when Gilberto was out of the line up how Wenger could have had The Invisible Wall... in the squad and NOT seen the importance signing a DM over the sumner is just proof he is blind to what was the real reasons for past success and what has been missing in the squads since.

When we inevitably have a less talented team and if Louvulla brings the best out of that squad, i hope the fans see that and not turn on him

When fit, I'd expect his role in the squad would be more similar to that of Edu — he still comes out a loser currently, but he's a lot closer to Edu in overall quality.

Cesc could have gone back to Arsenal after leaving Barca but Wenger did not buy him back when he had him in a silver platter... there is a greater need for Cesc now with Santi, Jack and Rosicky out / poor form / retired than back then but Wenger should never have allowed this transfer to happen for simply NOT letting Chelsea get stronger, we had enough room in the squad roster back then anyway and he could have sent Jack on loan that season and common sense also said Rosicky was almost at the end of his career so Cesc would have played a lot anyway.

Given Juan Mata's presence in the squad, it remains to be seen who gets the nod out of the duo as the Spaniard has been more effective when played centrally too.

if it, s the case wenger shpould do like other manager when they want to get rid of a player, freeze him out the squad and make him train with the kids or on his own but that, s not wenger, s style i guess!do players have a say on which club they, ll end up??

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte remained quiet when asked about the controversial decision that happened in the Blues» penalty shoot - out loss to rivals Arsenal, with the Italian wanting his Blues squad to be «focused» ahead of the new Premier League season, as reported by BBC.

Our player of the season so far?Certainly the most consistent.JACK AND OZIL CONTRACTS - just get them signed up for F *** S SAKE.Jack doesn't want to go anywhere and Ozil will have his choice of big clubs to choose from if allowed to be able to go on a free.How about giving out a statement of our ambitions (yeah right) and show were prepared to pay whatever it takes (up to the point of being ridiculous) to SIGN the best and KEEP the best» These two are the best we have so get them sorted early to send out a message of how serious we intend to be.AUBAMEYANG - So what if he has a contract.So did Sanchez.Offer the right money to Dortmund and the player and he will be ours.What is there to question over this deal?He is a proven goalscorer.We have just lost one.Get the deal done.GIROUD - Get rid of him to Dortmund if they want him either by selling or if it sweetens the deal just loan him till the end of the season.He was a back up when Sanchez was here and will be on the mix of back ups if Auba signs.He has a World Cup squad to fight for just to be considered so needs to be playing every week.We do not need him if Auba signs and would demand better than him if the deal fails to happen.Just get rid.JONNY EVANS - I'm not sure.Agree Kos needs nursing through games and we do not have consistent performers to come in if he is injured or rested mainly due to both Chambers and Holdimg not progressing through as much as we first thought and hoped for.Gooners have always been patient and supportive of the youngsters as they have come through but question marks to the whole coaching staff as to why these two seem to have stalled as much as they have done.Steve Bould - What do you do?You should be ashamed.

Catching Chelsea would mean, an abundance of luck, no more injuries (When Chelsea will get crucial ones, Fabregas, Costa, Courtois and defenders as examples), a tactical enlightenment from Wenger (that would call for a miracle), beat Man United, Man City, Chelsea at Home and not waist points against Liverpool and win all the odds games against the lower teams (as well as being kicked out of the CL and not go far in the Uefa Cup as we don't have the squad to do either anyway).

If not, then no matter how big a squad Arsenal have, we will always have periods when Wenger is having to shuffle the pack and use players out of position or rely on those not normally in the first team.

AN ADAPTIVE SQUAD ROTATION POLICY should be properly effected in the thick of the season when we are still in contention for titles and honours, not when we are out.

Let's face it goalkeepers tend to march to the beat of a different drum and Szczesny certainly fell into that category, but most of his antics were relatively harmless and simply reflected a certain level of immaturity that isn't uncommon for someone thrust into the limelight at such a young age... lord knows we've seen that happen with numerous players throughout the years and very few were ever banished for such behaviour... the only on - field action that drove me crazy was his inability to take a deep breath and not try to rush the play with an ill - timed throw at certain points in the game when common sense suggested holding the ball and slowing things down... the fact that he continued to do this probably had a lot to do with the glaring lack of coaching time spent with the goalkeepers... ultimately he made the fateful decision to take his frustrations out into the public sphere and paid dearly for it... in the end, his services were wanted by several of the best Italian squads, which is significant considering the historical importance placed on the defensive side of the ball in Serie A... all I know is that if someone asked me to pick the most athletically gifted goalkeeper we have had in our squad since the arrival of Wenger, without hesitation, he would be my pick and for that reason his departure is more than a little disappointing... what else is new though

When Santi was ruled out of the squad it got a lot worse.

Bellerin is fast becoming one of my favorite players in the gunners squad, thought we were doomed for sure when Gomis went racing through and then got around Cech in the first half but in came Bellerin out of nowhere just in time to save the day... It was a really pivotal moment in the game and I think we could well be looking at a different result if we had gone a goal down in the first half!

«Most of the squad go away now, so when we get back we'll have to review that and hopefully we can move on and sort it out.»

3 League titles / 6 Fa cups and constant champions league last 16odd years out of 19 also but no matter what anyone says his time as our coach has come to an end even if we win the league which in fairness we have a great shot so going out of Europe could help us win the league for Wenger to leave on a high like fergie did... This has to be his last season in charge along with Stan the Conman... Money needs put into this squad to get it to the next level and a different direction because in all honesty when we beat Bayern they just did nt take their chances like they did last night and they already had a great squad and added to it in the summer with Costa etc... we had a real chance this year if we had brought in more than Cech and that is Wengers fault!

Everyone can name a player that has been wrongly left out of an England squad, but who is the Premier League's unluckiest player when it comes to not being picked for the national side?

yea we wanted him here when we were short of attacking options (decimated squad and out - of - form players then), but when he got cocky, waved us off and i got to watch him in the emirates cup....

I think he is a valuable squad player, who can score out of nowhere when played on the left, but he's simply not going to get a lot of chances to play anymore.

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

It does not help our nerves when our Premier League rivals are starting to throw their money around like it is going out of fashion but Le Prof seemed very relaxed as he spoke about it after arriving with the Arsenal squad in Singapore, as reported by Arsenal.com.

We didn't need a manager this season if we're just gonna put out the same players that come 5th anyone could of done what wenger is doing it's easy I buy lacazette then put he same team out from the same squad even when I have injuries it's easy just put out the rest of the squad and play them out of position I mean I'd take 8mil to do that oxlade at lwb kolansinac at cb elneny cm holding rcb there's no work of a manager there just put in players were others ain't ready to play then buy nobody else and do interviews with the same excuses job done next game change some ppl around but same ppl that came 5th then sell Alexis do interviews same excuses job done transfer window closes fans wish they never supported arsenal wenger laughing to the bank job done

Am i dreaming it seems like we've been here before, oh yeah thats right it happened last season and the season before that... Oh wait guys but there is hope, if i remember corectly all we have to do is wait for any serious potential threats to us retaining the Fa cup for a third time to get eliminated by lower league opponents or of course eliminate themselves by not taking this competition too seriously by fielding their second team and laugh our way to the final where we'll probably beat a sub par premier league team and repeat it all over again next year you know when Wenger fails to address the squad depth, the injuries mount up and are out of the champions league and title run ins by march..

Finally, and to reiterate an earlier point, the way forward for this club is to stop paying below average bench players so much money and to focus the bulk of the weekly wages on establishing a dominant starting 11... this will require the club to eat some wages in order to ship some players out, get rid of any deadwood over the age of 21, develop a cutting edge scouting service and put your money where your mouth is for once... I would much rather have a starting 11 that was world - class and give some reasonably paid young blue - chippers playing time when injuries occur than have 2 or 3 world class players surrounded by a plethora of overpaid and underwhelming players... management would no longer be able to sell their half - baked plans to the fans under the guise of «winning now», which any intelligent fan knows is a crap - shoot at best, and instead create a a squad that provides hope for the present and the future... this is exactly the model that has been used by Barcelona, Real & Bayern, so it should be good enough for us... by the way, until Messi & Ronaldo re-signed just recently all 3 clubs weekly wages were on par with ours... think about that for a second or two

Predictably like mushrooms the AKBs are out with a glimpse of sunshine... It's not negative like I said Ramsey is a decent squad player to have on the bench or against lowly opposition when quality players need a rest..

Now he has got his chance as injuries have decimated the squad yet again, and he has chances of getting a prolonged run in the team, he has spoken out, saying that he is prepared to fight for his place and wait for Wenger to decide when he is ready to play.

Joel Campbell The Costa Rican and his representative have been fuming over Wenger's decision to not let the 22 - year old go out on loan, for the fourth successive season, when it is rather obvious that he is «not» going to enjoy the lion's share of game time in this Arsenal squad.

We start well for a few months then we crumble and go out of every competition and fall to far behind PL leaders, then when nothing to play for we look like world beaters and it lures everyone into false hope that the squad is good enough for the new season, and gives Wenger an excuse not to buy!

The transfer talks with Valencia over Francis Coquelin was basically confirmed when Wenger left the Frenchman out of the squad for the FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest at the weekend, so I think that the same thing will happen with Alexis this evening.

Every year when Arsenal go through a bad patch (like losing ONE out of the first TEN League games lol) the fans start calling for Wenger to be sacked, but surely he has had to cope with players returning from the World Cup, an unbelievable injury list, blending new players into the squad, and he has STILL managed to get us up into Fourth place already.

Ps, I totally loved hearing Conte when telling Mourinho how the FA cup win felt all the much better, after knocking out utd, who in his opinion has the best squad in the entire of England.

There was a time when it was a case of «needs must» in terms of players playing out of position to cover up certain squad deficiencies.

Why was Holding out of the squad completely after 1 bad game when Walcott and Ramsey have had years of mediocre performances?

Messi said the same thing about Theo Walcot when he was left out of the 2010 World Cup squad.

(1) this squad has way too many moving parts and very few of our players are good enough at their preferred position let alone relying on them in whatever position Wenger and his magic eight ball decide in the tunnel prior to the game... when teams do this it generally signals issues within the club, much like Jose last year and Van Gael before him... no one gets settled, the chemistry is almost non-existent and if provides a built - in excuse when the team comes up short... these issues fall squarely on Wenger, both for his decisions regarding players coming in and for his inability to rid the team of those players who aren't cutting it... in actually fact we have only 6 real starters on this current squad and that's being generous (Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette, Sead, Kos & Cazorla)... which is discouraging because Cazorla is injured and might never play again, Sanchez is wanting out and the club is lying to us about his injury status, Lacazette receives no service, Ozil is relatively disinterested out there, Kos is getting up there and Sead is just trying to settle in... there isn't a single other player that would start regularly on any of the other top 3 teams, which should be the standard... imagine this team moving forward if Wenger only sells before the window closes

when we was playing stoke city everyone was saying WOW look at the bench Arsenal have a good squad this season YES WE HAVE but AW is guilty of playing sill buger with playing out of position players

Generally when managers are not able to select the best 11 out of the squad due to injuries / shoratge etc. i can understand.

In a strange way it might turn out to be a good thing that Arsenal have been forced to play our final three Premier League matches in the space of just seven days, especially if it forces Arsene Wenger to rotate his squad when the Gunners play host to relegation threatened Sunderland tomorrow.

While I am fully aware that not every Arsenal is as positive about the team and the quality that is available to Arsene Wenger in the Arsenal squad as I am, or as optimistic about our chances of success this season or even this weekend as we travel to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but I nearly spat out my beer when I saw the team picked by the former Arsenal and England midfielder Paul Merson as a combined best XI from the two London rivals.
