Of note he has started to make space
in the midfield by asking Campbell to find a new

team position in the league, such a tragedy

Arsene playing a balanced
team will give you positive results, especially playing against a big
team, over the past years we have continued to use players not suited for certain
positions, we actually had a player

in attacking
position, Kolasinac to me was the most important player going forward and defending.
I think our RB
position is a worry for me considering the standard that Bellerin has set there and CM can be considered wer a physically built player
in the shape of kondogbia won't be a bad fit incase we play
teams who want to bully us physically.
I disagree.A wingback can be viewed as a defensive winger.Whether the Ox likes it or not he's been blessed with the qualities of a winger.To me that's his best position.He's only doing well as a wingback because of his attacking abilities.As I said earlier a wingback can be viewed as a sort of defensive winger.That's why CB's
who are used as RB or LB can not play wingback.Wingback needs the player to be able to adapt himself like a winger while also being solid defensively.Ox has the attacking part but not the defensive part.With Bellerin we have the best of both worlds.He can attack, defend and also has the speed necessary to play wingback.I fear Ox being played at wingback will cost us when we play
teams with tricky wingers.He should rather be challenging Sanchez or Ozil for their
positions and not wingback.The guy hates to always have to defend which
in truth he can't.
(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)
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

Another positive is that Ozil is

team that has another no. 10, cazorla

position for an extended period their states would be better.
more to the point for an Economics graduate,
who doesn't understand inflation moaning about the fact the the price of players has gone up considering annual revenues of the premier league
teams have shot up too is incredibly stupid... But hey Wenger knows best; he wouldn't be

position not having to spend over the odds for quality players if he acted
in the first place, that's the icing on the retard cake there for me..

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.

modern football is all about a defensive midfielder
who can be the one to cover the 2 CBs and not leave them hanging whenever a mistake is done
in the midfield also if you can remember when we bought nacho monreal he was supposed to cover a
position in the midfield and now is left back for 3 — 4 years and this is unacceptable if you see other clubs the build the
teams over the DM so that the rest midfielders can create we bought this mess ozil which from day one he is not performing and not adjusting to BPL i don't know my friend i am speaking my mind from here
in Athens so you
who are
in UK you now better than me and you can press for quality players
fully agree we have been gathering so many years crappy players and now is time to push the restart button even ramsey i totally have second guesses for him but he is not playing
in the right
position we need to sell all these mediocre players
who are outdated and renew the
team
So bearing
in mind nearly all the whining on here involves the alleged lack of quality
in nearly every other
position on the pitch other than those occupied by AR / MO (LW / ST / CDM / LB / GK / CB etc) your idea to improve the
team would be to sell Ramsey and / or Ozil and buy Fabregas, a player
who f**ked off when we needed him and came crawling back expecting royal treatment after his Barca love affair went tits up.
Podolski is an adaptable attacker

team in the process.

It's of a Arsenal manager

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'

@Twig i like the fact you mentioned Giroud hitting top form.Its a pity that form will not be getting us anywhere.If we want to go by Arsenal value and name sake then he should not even be an arsenal player and also includes some players
who i do nt want to mention.On Wilshere, he is my favourite arsenal player because of the way he plays and because he is very exciting to watch.A player like him at 19 years could have benched anyone inhis
position in this current
team and do nt forget 19.
But again, why play someone
who is going to leave the club within days especially
in a
position he doesn't want to play
in and against the
team he will go to?
This game is a glaring example as to why Arsenal has to strengthen the squad;
who on show
in this game is threatening the
position of any player
in the so called first
team?
Mertz should never have been our captain
in the first place...
who has ever heard of a
team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership
positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is what happens when you don't get world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager
who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating
in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played
in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar
positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual
who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role
in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest
in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!
The former Tottenham Hotspur boss,
who was once a strong candidate to take the job of coaching the national
team after Fabio Capello quit the
position back
in 2012, believes that half the players «don't give a toss» and that the fans are fed up of watching their country play.
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
Instead of these 6 players, we can get Carvalho and Robiot
who are both DM's and we can have a
team where we have two quality and young players
in each midfield and attacking
position.
