And even Chelsea who have a doddle of a group, only have one more
point than Arsenal at this point.
The good news about the EPL table, however, along with the fact that no club has more
points than Arsenal, is the position of our big spending rivals Manchester United.
The eventual league champions and runners up got only 2 and 1 more
points than Arsenal in the top 4 mini league while the all - conquering Chelsea could only come third despite getting 9 more points than Man City in the mini league.
Not exact matches
Arsenal are finishing the season with a flourish, with 7 wins in our last 8 games, so is he happy that his side are performing at the right time: «We won more games
than last year, because we already have one
point more
than last year.»
The problem with
Arsenal is how we play, or adapt our play in matches, we've had good players up to the
point where our squad looks better
than the opposition, but we then loose dismally.
Arsenal must go for maximum
points from the next two games to get that winning momentum back for the villa game.Besides the fans will not be happy with anything less
than 3
points tonight.
Despite
Arsenal's consistency over the last six games, they've only claimed one more
point than City over the sequence of games.
Yes, you want to win every game you are part of, as you don't step out on to the pitch thinking of anything other
than three
points and a win; each game has its own «consequence» — but over a 38 - game season — one's title ambitions won't face obituary by the result of this clash between Everton and
Arsenal.
If
Arsenal had equaled Tottenham's goal tally it would have earned at most 8 additional
points, not enough to win the title, yet it would have scored more goals
than Leicester.
Well i would suppose he is tapping up, but is if
arsenal is going to sell to Bayern, i think not, My
point is if sanchez wants to leave let him leave, to keep him would do more harm
than good and for me although many blame the manager, i feel one the main reason we got into a slump last season was Alex and Ozil, their negativity affected the performance of the weak minded players in our squad.
At the end of the season
Arsenal topped the league with 90
points, 12
points better
than the previous season.
On every other occasion it was our laid back approach against mostly smaller teams that cost us
points, where we take the results or
points for granted just because opponent is considered smaller
than Arsenal.
If
Arsenal can fight all the way and not give away
points, and if they lose not more
than 3 games through out the season, then with a few draws here and there, they can be in touch with the title come May 2018.
As I said earlier many times that Owners are very happy with returns they are earning from
Arsenal... Unless and until their IRR or Return is getting lower
than expected rate of return he won't make any investments in transfer market... The
point which you are referring here about Man Utd is bit different about Buying Pogba or Matic....
@Pires it is uncouth to call other people idiots because they voice their opinion.It is common sense that what is happening at
arsenal football club is horrible and simply unacceptable.No one feels this pain more
than the fans, so please let these people voice their concerns and also be careful when
pointing your finger coz you may be that idiot yourself.
The result moves
Arsenal nine
points ahead of their rivals and are now closer to first place — moving into second place today —
than they are to fourth and many will be wondering if they can sustain a late title challenge.
With Man United's win over Norwich ensuring that
Arsenal still need
points from our final two games to secure a Champions League place for next season, the manager must get his team selection and tactics right and with more options
than usual he has a tough job on his hands, but one of those choices for me has to be Santi Cazorla in the box to box role.
Or you may believe, as I do, that it did far more harm
than just that one
point; to team morale, to the clubs long term reputation for doing things the «
Arsenal way».
There is nothing that
Arsenal can do to affect the state of the Premier League table, at least until Monday night when we play host to a West Brom team that has not been showing the usual defensive solidity that we expect to see from a Tony Pulis managed team but is still a
point better off
than the Gunners.
It wasn't goal difference, Liverpool finished on 76
points, and
Arsenal on 75
points, their goal difference was also better
than ours by three.
While every
Arsenal fan will be urging the players to give absolutely everything for a victory over table topping Leicester City tomorrow, our manager is often a bit more pragmatic
than that and whereas we used to sometimes get caught out when throwing players forward, Arsene Wenger will now sometimes make sure of the
point rather
than risking all for the win.
It is easier for an
Arsenal fan to get a bad vibe in what's supposed to be a 50 - 50 encounter with a top team
than to be hopeful of yielding at least a
point because our defense seems always willing to commit a calamitous error first.
Winning is more
than just having world class players...
Arsenal of late is a case in
point..
Every club still has needs at this
point, some more glaring
than others: Tottenham won't stop going on about the lack of a left winger,
Arsenal can't finish and still miss Vieira's presence, Manchester United need a long term partner for Michael Carrick and Newcastle need someone who isn't a 40 year old Nigerian.
The
point was enough to allow
Arsenal to progress through to the knockout stages of the Europa League with two games to spare but the performance from the Gunners was less
than impressive.
And all things being equal, Chelsea will drop all three
points to Liverpool at Anfield on this same Saturday night to start a cave in journey in their Premier League campaign this season that will see
Arsenal overthrow them eventually form the top of the table to begin to sit on it sooner
than later.
While a move to Sevilla wouldn't make sense from an ambition
point of view as it's difficult to see how they could offer more assurances
than Arsenal over winning major trophies, a chance to work with Sampaoli again after their success with the Chilean national team could be an appealing proposal.
Atletico got more
points for winning the Europa League
than Chelsea did for the CL, Valencia overtook
Arsenal despite not even being in the CL last year.
A lot of
Arsenal fans seem to think that this is not really an achievement at all and when Wenger
points to his record he receives more scorn
than praise from certain sections of the
Arsenal fanbase and the football media.
The eventual 5 - 1 loss at the Allianz Arena did more
than cost
Arsenal another three
points in the Champions League, it put them on the brink of elimination in the group stage.
Arsenal needed someone who would be vocal, passionate and commanding, rather
than Gibbs, who arguably received the armband because he was the longest serving player for
Arsenal at that
point in the match.
One very good reason for optimism is the fact that
Arsenal won 9
points more
than any other Premiership team in 2015, which would equate to the title this year if we can keep that form going.
THere was some action and some chances at both ends and the Saints keeper Forster made a couple of really good saves but it is hard to say that
Arsenal really desreved any more
than a
point.
Wenger is outdated if not he would reason like a normal manager, Man City have a team that is better
than Arsenal team yet they are still re-emforcing area which they consider to be their weak
point.
Claude Puel has seen his new Southampton side struggle to only gain one
point from the first three games of the season, but he believes his team is better
than that and will give
Arsenal a run for their money in Saturday's game at the Emirates.
west ham will put our defense under pressure from the first minuet and try and score and
than concentrate on defending and keep the
points it happened with united and southhampton it is a successful method to beat
Arsenal so our defense and midfield better be tuned on
And how many goals would
Arsenal have probably more
than Walcott, Giroud & Welbeck return combined this season... which would've gotten them enough
points to be closer to Leicester!
Make sense if at this
point, I suggest that AOBs to cheer other club who they think better
than Arsenal.
They'd rather wait for the one time it fails so they can bash You blame the manager for being favourist yet a fellow blogger praising a player he previously bashed is called being two faced You kill Ramsey for a blind pass attempting to enter the opposition final third yet you won't blame Sanchez for turning over the ball in a pointless dribble with three free team mates You kill metersacker for deflecting a shot into his own net but won't touch kos for getting out of the way of a shot he could have sufficiency blocked You claim with no substantial proof that arteta, mert, Ramsey, can not lead
arsenal anywhere substantial yet they have each at a
point been a massive cause for stability and progress when called upon Even after reading this comment, you will ignore the fact that kos was awful until partnerd with mert, our defensive mid with song leaked more goals
than the one with arteta and we've struggled to win without him at least until late last season.
Walcott this time last season had scored more goals
than any current
arsenal player has up to this
point.
But to your
point, KM,
Arsenal does seem to get nervy when we go up one, in many games, rather
than killing teams off like they can, i.e., Villa.
regarding today's match i think BFG deserves to be axed not monreal, he's been decent in that CB role, at least better
than he performs when he plays LB, anything we get apart from 3
points today means we have no chance of seeing the
arsenal we've alwyzd wanted.
Chelsea is already 3
points behind
Arsenal as we speak, hence we are better
than them already despite them buying one starter, and three bench warmers.
Wenger admits that Chelsea are even better
than last season, but Wednesdays destruction of Galatasary showed that
Arsenal may be meeting them at a high
point.
I think the
point is that Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd and even Liverpool (with the Champions League) have given their fans much more to cheer about (and some serious silverware)
than Arsenal have over the last 10 years.
If we are really honest with ourselves then I would say there is a definite place for Giroud in the
Arsenal FC side but in the last 3 years he has lost us more
points than he has won us.
Luckily for
Arsenal, I think that on our current form and ability, we are more
than capable of grabbing all three
points as most would expect.
If you think k it takes for
Arsenal to beat big teams to lift the EPL then you need to land back on planet earth and start counting up
points Arsenal lost to teams below them rather
than above them and see where they would have been in the table.
The first half of the season's draw is easier
than the second so
Arsenal need to be 5
points clear by Jan 1.
And just for good measure the Frenchman
pointed out, as reported by Metro, that
Arsenal are in a better position having a player like Alexis desperate to play
than some other clubs having the opposite sort of problem with the likes of Diego Costa and Dimitri Payet.
