Sanchez is still bedding in, and hasn't made a staunch impact at his new club; Cazorla, during Ozil's absence, will see plenty of game time, and will be hoping to bring some incision into Arsenal's play from the middle - third of the pitch; Wilshere, having shown glimpses of his ability already this season, could be the player who gives Arsenal the cutting edge, during this tough period for the club.

As a result, it would surely require a player to head out first to make space for Werner, but having spent so heavily on their attack, it's only logical that they address their issues at the other end of the pitch given that they possess the worst defensive record of the top seven Premier League sides this season having conceded 36 goals in 27 games.

The deadwood???... as if they bought themselves and gave themselves chances on the pitch to proof how deadwood they are... interestingly arsenal is i can say the only top 10 club in Europe that has been having until maybe last season, more than half of the squad as deadwood players and then one if most two players that may be considered WC and the rest average... now i had my hopes up when we bought sanchez last season but arrrrkh, pee peee here comes welbeck (man utd's deadwood)..

Before this season you would probably have said the German play maker but there is a theory going around that after making his mind up to leave, Ozil is just not giving his all for us on the pitch, so with Jack Wilshere looking good again and Alex Iwobi back in form, perhaps the German will not even feature all that much.

Then why did that traitor jumped in the arms of AF when he scored against us, I can forgive Sanchez he gave it all on the pitch but no way I can bring myself to forgive that traitor for leaving us after years of being injured we stuck by him an as soon as he had a season and a half of good play he went to the enemy and celebrated goals against us, they hate him in Turkey suporters and punters canot belive his carector

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

Because the boss had suggested that the reason for him not giving Podolski more time on the pitch so far this season was that he had yet to get properly match sharp after the summer exploits of winning the World Cup in Brazil.

As a result, the signing of Aubameyang would be huge, as although the above report would suggest there are disciplinary concerns with his suspension and sending off at the weekend, there's no denying the quality that he brings on the pitch and Chelsea would surely welcome another prolific option up front in what would be a surprise coup given how crucial Aubameyang has been to Dortmund in recent seasons.

They're too busy giving it large on social media and taking bloody selfies rather than putting in a shift on the pitch, believe me, I know, I've been to every game this season except the Hull replay, I've sold my 3 tickets for the Camp Nou to one of the Directors at work, he doesn't support Arsenal but wants experience the atmosphere, I couldn't be bothered to go quite frankly.

In my opinion arsenal best performance of the season in epl was because of 3 reasons 1 - very fast defence in the presence of gabriel 2 - elneny direct play and his 96 % accuracy He leaves sanchez, ozil and iwobi to do the job he just give them the ball ana cover them 3 - the absence of giroud on the pitch, giroud style of play doesn't make gaps in the opposition defence and he also has a terribel pass accuracy and also no dribbling skills I think in his absence we had very good performance against everton and watfoIn my opinion arsenal best performance of the season in epl was because of 3 reasons 1 - very fast defence in the presence of gabriel 2 - elneny direct play and his 96 % accuracy He leaves sanchez, ozil and iwobi to do the job he just give them the ball ana cover them 3 - the absence of giroud on the pitch, giroud style of play doesn't make gaps in the opposition defence and he also has a terribel pass accuracy and also no dribbling skills I think in his absence we had very good performance against everton and watfoin epl was because of 3 reasons 1 - very fast defence in the presence of gabriel 2 - elneny direct play and his 96 % accuracy He leaves sanchez, ozil and iwobi to do the job he just give them the ball ana cover them 3 - the absence of giroud on the pitch, giroud style of play doesn't make gaps in the opposition defence and he also has a terribel pass accuracy and also no dribbling skills I think in his absence we had very good performance against everton and watfoin the presence of gabriel 2 - elneny direct play and his 96 % accuracy He leaves sanchez, ozil and iwobi to do the job he just give them the ball ana cover them 3 - the absence of giroud on the pitch, giroud style of play doesn't make gaps in the opposition defence and he also has a terribel pass accuracy and also no dribbling skills I think in his absence we had very good performance against everton and watfoin the opposition defence and he also has a terribel pass accuracy and also no dribbling skills I think in his absence we had very good performance against everton and watfoin his absence we had very good performance against everton and watford

I don't follow other teams close enough to know pitching staffs — I'm not crazy about our pitching trades giving up young arms for older pitchers coming off injury but our new names / faces / arms pitching for the Twins need some time, some fan support, and opportunity to establish their value in our season.

Giroud does not deserve to lead the arsenal line next season.He should be replaced do u know why?It is because he is always going to miss a lot of chances and will cost us.people who support him to lead the line have not studied his game clearly.every season he will continue to cost us.But at least i wont say he is useless or something.He is on the pitch and gives his all so he is useful.He is not clinical and not good at all.He is a striker who is just above average but sometimes even performs below average in his 3 years over here.Be honest and say it as it is.Some people use stats to constantly defend him yet if you watch him you will be shocked.Walcott can lead the line he has everything to.but as i said he lacks the aggressiveness and physique to be the main man.that will go against him so many times.so its better for him to remain on the wings.Giroud does not deserve it.We all know that.

After an awful first half of the season for Arsenal the acrimonious departure of Alexis Sanchez to Man United should have helped the Gunners to settle down and reduce the animosity in the dressing room and on the pitch, especially as we saw the arrivals of Pierre - Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mhkitaryan to give our striker force a boost.

I hope wenger sees these and benches ozil when he doesn't deliver to have a taste of Wilshere, but never wenger, he prefers his best on the pitch than giving willing and passionate players chances, the likes of Campbell, Gabriel, Gibbs instead of easy monreal, Perez shud av played more last season e.t.c, I hope to say xhaka, Ramsey, Wilshere in front of them, Sanchez / Perez if Sanchez goes, lacazette / welbeck upfront, giroud as sub, Gabriel along side koscielny and kolasinic, bellerin and gibbs / monreal as full backs, I want szesny back as back up to cech and Martinez as understudy.................. but I won't get it cos it is wenger......... smh

Even players like Carzola and Ramsey with there 1 season wonders feel they can walk around the pitch and not give there all in games.

Far be it for me to question Wenger's logic, but can anyone explain how both Giroud and Walcott can both score 20 goals a season if only one of them is on the pitch in any given game?

It boils down to this, if we only buy in one key player per season we are NEVER going to be able to compete with the elite clubs and despite there being a few good points in your argument above its worth noting that only 11 million was spent last summer when it was as clear as the noses on anyones face that we needed a better spine up the middle of the pitch, AW has offered and given Theo a new contract at twice the wages he was on and he is without doubt the highest paid flop in the team.

He was given the chance to put things right this season, but we are in a mess on and off the pitch.

While the boss has been giving Jack a fair few minutes on the pitch this season as he continues on the road to redemption after form and fitness deserted him for last few years, all five of his starts this year have been in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.

If the 2 - 1 win over Manchester United to complete a rare unbeaten home record in Tottenham's final season at the iconic old ground wasn't an historic milestone in itself, once the pitch had been cleared by stewards and uniformed police after several pleading announcements, the afternoon was given unforgettable poignancy with the parade of 48 former Tottenham legends plus a cinematic trip down memory «Lane» narrated on giant screens by renowned Spurs fan, actor Kenneth Branagh, chronicling the illustrious history of the club and rendering many fans misty - eyed.

The pre-match talk was all about the «cojones» comment from Troy Deeney and one could see that the Arsenal players couldn't wait to get in the pitch & give a fitting reply to the comments made from the Watford striker earlier in the season.

Arsenal have lacked the presence of Santi Cazorla in recent seasons through injury, and Seri could be the nearest comparison to the Spaniard from outside, given his contribution on both sides of the pitch.

Ronaldo Vieira seems to be a forgotten man in the Leeds United midfield, as the young player hasn't seen as much of the pitch as would have been expected of him, given his performance in his breakout season last year.

The first weeks of September over the years have been characterised by an abundance of goals; before early season exuberance on flat, grassy pitches in late summer sunshine gives way to a cold, muddy mid-winter's slog with floodlights switched on before half - time.
