play Ox in the hole (he has to understand your the
highest paid player

play like that ever and go AWOL)- Put Sanchez on the wing or up top but put Welbeck in (Walcott didn't track back near enough for the Alsonso goal)- Iwobi has been bright from the wing let him

higher up the pitch, it often requires a team to be able to implement a

of locking onto targets, leading defenders to the intended receiver... made too many
high - risk throws in college, not locating lurking defensive backs... spotty offensive
line play in 2017 caused him to
play skittish and quicken his reads / movements, leading to mistakes... relatively inexperienced,
playing only one full season at quarterback in
high school and two years at USC... durable in college, but missed his junior season after a broken foot (Sept. 2013), requiring surgery.

play with gaps between their def and mid or
play a LOT
of players behind the ball and try to hit us on the counter.
Nice article... I used to be one
of those staunch Wenger fans through the years... I used to believe he is superior than Sir Alex, because with almost nothing to spend and
playing with kids, he managed to keep us up there every year... I was really caught up with that half season wonder we used to show... In the summer 2013, him or the board (I don't recall) came out and said we are much stable financially and now we can fight with the biggest bullies, I got my hopes
high, I thought we are definitely signing a top striker and DM, that what we need... What happened, only hours before the window closed we managed to sign a top AMF (remember we have our best player for the season 2012 - 2013 was AMF, Cazorla if you remember), I was really depressed seen Giroud leading the
line every match... then comes winter window, and we were right there top
of the table... My friend send me a poster
of an elephant on a tree, and on the bottom
of it «no one knows how it got there but everybody knows how it will get down»... I told my friend that we are only one decent striker far from the gold... and what happened, we signed an old injured DM on loan... That for me was a completely arrogance and stubbornness cost us the league title... There I completely lost the plot with Wenger... I wish yesterday I was with those who raised that banner...
