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.
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...

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)...

With a good looking draw
in the Champions League and a home tie with Middlesborough
in the fifth round of the FA cup, along with a return to form on the
pitch and the signing of a
quality central defender, things are looking quite rosy for us right now.
Or is it the inability of the players to believe

It's vital that to be a regular on the
pitch for the Gunners
in midfield, you have to show your
quality and your ability to adapt.
My main argument is that people who work close with him see something special
in him, i'm basing this on countless interviews, other players opinions and my general analysis of
qualities he shows while on the
pitch.
So although it is never good to be without players of the
quality of Santi Cazorla, Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck we have got pretty good options all over the
pitch in most positions.
The Cubs are the sixth organization he's played for
in five years, an odyssey that began when Oakland, frustrated by his inability to develop another
quality pitch to go with his fastball, gave up on him
in» 96, when his career record was 18 - 29.
Alexis holds onto the ball far too long to help the team, he is all over the
pitch instead of spending
quality time
in and around the box, great enthusiasm but detrimental to the team as much as Alex Song bombing forward and leaving his primary position unattended.
I'd have focused more on Torres (which I did), the lack of CB depth (I'd prefer to have two
quality CBs to back up a 3 back rather than just one with one of the starters being a converted CDM), the lack of players who fit the outside mid role well
in this formation (which, hey, maybe that's part of what you were referring to), and the fact that when you play more attackers higher up the
pitch, it often requires a team to be able to implement a high pressuring defensive line (Dempsey and Bruin are not suited for that).
And when you look back at the last decade, none of those youngsters have progressed
in the way that they were hyped up to and yes I'm talking about the likes of Ramsey, Walcott, Jack Wheelchair and the Ox who all had a one season wonder of some sort, during one point
in their Arsenal careers, thus far and We can't keep using this excuse for not buying ready made
quality, which would instantly improve our chances of winning a major trophy or two, but No, Wenger wants to stick with a theory which clearly isn't working for us on the
pitch, but he doesn't really care, as long as it works out well for saving the penny's and the pounds,
in the place where it matters most for Arsenal fc,
in the bank.
At least Chamack Attack and Gervinho tried and gave their all every time they went on the
pitch, they wasn't good enough
in quality but they put more effort
in than that lazy tree Giroud.
Elneny has good passing attributes and a physical presence on the
pitch, but
in terms of creativity and looking at him as a figurehead for success, Elneny doesn't hold a lot of the
qualities needed to be a regular feature for Arsenal.
Fortunately, Arsenal have a top
quality centre - back
in Gabriel to partner Mertesacker should Koscielny be moved up the
pitch.
In addition we're too loyal to players who can't stay on the pitch for more than one game a season, Wilshere shouldn't even be considered for the first team until he's fully fit next year, Rosicky should've been released last season, but Wenger used them as an excuse not to buy available quality in midfiel

in as much as we have less
quality players
in the likes of ox, coq, gibbs, walcot, mustafi, gabriel, iwobi, and to some extent ozil on the
pitch of play today....
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
Pochettino has worked wonders with Spurs both on the
pitch in terms of
quality and playing style, as well as off the
pitch with transfers and business.
The hosts though started without some of their stars with Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez worthy of note but the Gunners still had
quality personnel on the
pitch to still pull the strings
in the game.
«Apart from his technical top
qualities he has personality and is
in the right place on the
pitch, and now with the maturity to organise around him.
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
why did we play Welbeck
in the striker's role... no one can question his heart but to have a player with such limited first - touch and finishing skills against such a game opponent with Lacazette on the bench is almost unforgivable... maybe it's because Welbeck tows the party line or maybe it's because Welbeck doesn't know anything but 100 % on the
pitch, unfortunately neither of these
qualities makes him a capable starting striker on a team with any real aspirations... I can only hope that he was being showcased for a move elsewhere, as there was some talk last week about some interest from Everton... if he moved on that would be the only silver lining of this coach's decision, but once again it wouldn't excuse this club for putting business decisions ahead of fielding the best possible team to secure 3 points at Anfield
Despite his
qualities, Ozil clearly isn't made to take penalties and he should currently only be resorted to
in the case of having limited available options on the
pitch.
