Facts therefore point to Diaby leaving in the summer, and that will not stop the manager from trying to help resuscitate the career of a player in any possible manner just like trying
the player in a new position.
but when you play out of your old position, your above average ability is just not good enough to make you even an above average
player in your new position.

With Wenger recently shifting to a back - three himself, it certainly does make sense for him to bring
in a versatile
player who can play a majority of the
positions under his

but a t some point he lost it, and is not because of his stinginess to buy
players, our core is good and has been for sometime now, his biggest problem was adaptation, change to the
new EPL, his philosophy dating back 20 years does not work anymore and he knows it, because of this his biggest flaw all others came out to light, lack of rotation of his
players favoring some over others, stubbornness that applies to his transfer policy buying for the future just as he had 20 more years ahead,
players playing out of their natural
positions, ARSENAL FLOPS who knows under other Managers they could have been great, for some reason they were signed
in the first place, they must had some talent, best example is Campbell....
If we start this season with those two
in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one of these
players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this team for a number of years... this is what I call the «no man's land» of the soccer world, where teams don't have enough talented young
players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management team becomes little more than a stagnant group of «yes men» and no
new ideas emerge... so instead of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel
in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard of a team who plays
players out of
position so often... of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team of any consequence ever again

in Bergkamps class he is talented enough to pull the strings with other playmakers such as Jack and Mikki
in the side
in a 442.
In all honesty Arsenal played well we had very good position with loads of chances and 13 corner kicks how come we are so crappy at scoring corners???? We need to start scoring the chances we get from corners we could have easily beat southhampton by 4 goals but forster was good he got the 3 points off us MR wenger should go back to the drawing board as he has some options one of witch could the calling of welington silva or a reshuffle bring iwobi in elneny or new methods in tactics as in picking players and rehearse attacks strategy As for the referee I to felt done by him there was on particular foul on sanches that was not giving at the end we need to register our efforts and be clinic

Compare Arsenal's dithering

player's
positions with Manchester United identifying and rectifying weaknesses
in the squad and entering the
new season with settled playing
positions!
We could certainly use a
new player in that
position to follow Valeri
in a couple years.
Want to hear from all those arse licking football idiots drooling away on this website over a bunch of friendly victories... So I'll say it again mert is a liability Ramsey and giroud are good bench
players and we need a world class dm... Oh and a
new manager... Endlessly playing out of
position... Same shit year
in year out with this guy it really is... Even if we win if this guy thinks he has a winning team he is even more dillusional than I though and I wanted him carried off to funny farm 5 years ago
Yes it's unfortunate that we didn't get more signings but it could just be he case of using better tactics,
new formation and playing
players in the right
position to get back to winning ways.
It's of a Arsenal manager who at the start of the
new season has ensured that a squad of sufficient quality and depth has been put
in place by scouting
players in positions where the team has been found to be lacking
in the previous season.
In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger'

Shell has spent a great deal of time
in his
new position reconstructing the
players» psyches.
Besides several teams who have questions surrounding one or possibly two
players, there is no squad that has so many issues heading into the final week of the transfer window... even Monaco, who have lost numerous
players from their starting 11 have less controversy swirling
in and around their club and they have champion's league play to contend with this season... just think of how ridiculous this situation is especially considering that we have had the same manager for over 20 years... no team should be better organized than ours... if nothing else, that should be the one advantage this team holds over all others, yet the exact opposite has occurred... this fact is even more disturbing considering the main argument against removing Wenger from his managerial
position was that there was no suitable replacement and that people feared some sort of perceived drop - off if a
new manager was brought into the mix... based on what we've witnessed since the time of his contract renewal a monkey with a magic eight ball could have done an adequate job... I hate to make jokes,
in light of our current dilemma, but this team is so screwed up if I don't laugh about it, the only plausible response is to either cry or do something incredibly destructive... just look around this squad and try to see what our delusional manager sees that allow him to make such positive statements about our current team
Whatever tho
new contract or not it's not like we're
in a
position where were relying on him anymore we've got plenty of great midfield
players.
Signing
players is just part of Wenger faults, playing them
in the right
position is another, zero tactics is his biggest fault, he has no
new ideas, you can give him Chelsea and he will manage to miss the Title....
Can someone
in Arsenal impose to Wenger to buy a true DM and a
new CB
in January and makes him rotate the team, don t play
players out of
position and give up the wish of praise for nurturing young (averages) british
players.
He lives
in the past and wants to get credits of molding a
player to a
new position.
New manager play our
players in there right
positions and u will see the difference if not we have Man U
in a few weeks and they will find a way to over come the arsenal
Unless and until yours is a well - rounded squad, with
players being able to play
in more than one designated
position, it does take time for any crop of
players to adapt and assimilate their way into a
new system.
The versatile Dutch international could also have a role
in the side filling
in at left wing - back or as a defensive midfielder, but centre - back seems his likeliest
position at the moment due to United's desperate need for
new players in that
position.
Central midfield remains something of a problem
position for the Red Devils following the retirement of the legendary Paul Scholes, and van Gaal is still keen to bring
in another
new player in that part of the pitch despite already spending around # 30m on bringing
in Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao.
We are lucky if he doesn't try a
new midfield for the first time
in a big game or play a
player or two out of
position.
With a second string side out, including some
players like Bellerin
in unfamiliar
positions and some like Podolski and Campbell with hardly any minutes on the pitch, fierce home crowd and a Galatasaray team playing for pride and a
new manager, it could have been a tough night for us.
But with the Wolverines losing their entire starting linebacking corps this off - season, the do - it -
player (he also rushed for 4.0 yards per carry and caught eight passes) will be even more valuable
in his
new position.
Ask yourselves if we would be this irate if we had lost with our
new guys on the pitch and
players in their preferred
position?
HUMVN, Machine?He made a funny comment
in one of the justarsenal stories earlier.He said Arsenal don't need a
new CB.Can someone slap me.I was even shocked at the thumbs up he got.I feel so sorry for Arsenal and fans as well.We are really suffering.Till today how people rate Mertesacker is beyond me.The guy is not even a leader by example.I wonder why Hayden was sold as I think he could have surely done better and if Isaac Hayden solves his injury problems we gonna regret selling him.Even aliens know arsenal needs a CB.Aren't you guys tired of always starting the season short of
players in positions where needed.It's like some of you want failure but you don't know you want.Arsenal should complete the squad this season.It's a must.
We would now be
in a much better
position regarding performance last season and persuading our top
players to sign
new contracts, like ozil and sanchez.
U do know keeping Sanchez is not a win for anybody right, this is a
player that doesn't want to play for us anymore, the two
new players we bought are being benched by le fraud
in other to play
players out of
position, but we shouldn't be angry, let's celebrate whoooo we failed to address our biggest problem again getting rid of the yoghourt man.
With the other top Gunner Mesut Ozil also
in talks over a
new contract you would expect the German international and his people to be looking at a similar sort of deal to keep them happy as well, but revelations last week showed that such a huge pay rise for two of the
players already on more money than their club colleagues would have put us
in a precarious
position.
It was also good to see our
new signings actually on the pitch, and other
players in their correct
positions.
Arsenal Fans are most afraid fans ever, If Wenger leaves we will never be great again, LOL Everyone is looking Swansea game, look Arsenal from different angle, we are
in this
position last 9 years, we are not able to beat big teams, and how can someone blame
players LOL, i ve never seen that
player is sacked, we fans are afraid of change, and that is normal, but change will come, like it or not, Wenger getting
new contract is biggest mistake, its so obvious that he cant do his job on high level, he can keep arsenal
in top 4 but never win it again, so ask yourself, do you want every year to lie yourself about winning or accept mediocre, your choice!!!
It's obvious for me that arsenal need 4
players to become a world class team like bayern and real madrid i couldn't dare mention barcelona because they have unbelievable front three and they maybe the best attack
in history of football we are lacking quality
in the ST as well as the RW of course giroud and campvell are very good
players but
in my opinion they are less
in quality than the rest of the team so we need to improve the quality
in these positins About the DM it's a number issue and i think the
position is covered with flamini doing good job and elneny coming which can be deployed there About the fourth signing we need is a center back I don't think i saw till now enough minutes for gabriel to tell if he can make the
position his own or not But what makes me doubt him that wenger didn't choose him till now over per which means he is not miles ahead of him so i think we need a
new better CB This team can go and fight for every thing even the champions leafue....
He was shocking
in central midfield recently playing for England against France, and for the club, and the fans, we haven't got time to wait for
players to adapt to a
new position anymore.
Still have Phil «could become United's greatest ever
player» Jones shuffling around
in various back 4
positions, Smalling as their best CB, haven't got a LB to rely on yet, Young just signed a
new contract — how does he stack up against Alexis?
Hpoefully our
players will start to click into gear and up the pace or find themselves
in their
new positions (Sanchez) we'll just have to wait and see who Wenger selects for the job and if they can carry it out to win the points.
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
