At first i thought the writer intended to write about Emmanuel Petit as he is a pundit for SuperSport but when i discovered it Adebayo his real name (Source from Nigeria and not Adebayor) it becomes even clear the more reason i should care less about whatsoever he's got to say about Arsenal but trying to compare his stats is the height of ridicule i can imagine not forgetting his goal ratio to chances on goal at the service of Cesc etal.

Diego Simeone's men seemed to struggle to adapt to what was being thrown at them, giving Real more chances at goal early on than you would normally have expected to see.

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

The fact is that Arsenal did not muster one shot on target, and the only real chance I remember is when Wilshere himself received the ball in front of goal but failed to control it for a shot.

They have a number of promising young centre backs who ought to be given an opportunity to prove themselves for the remainder of the season in the EPL matches.They simply can not be worse than the rapidly declining Koscielny and Mustafi who can not cope with the likes of Swansea, Bournemouth etc. let alone a team like Spurs.The lack of steel at the back impacts on our more attacking players as they know they need to score 2/3 goals to have any chance of producing a win.As usual Elneny has come in for criticism but the real culprits are our centre backs and Xhaka who seems to be a fixture regardless of being bang average.

He was obstructed by a slight pull on his arm in front of the goal with reasonable chance of nutmeging the keeper YES it seams light but in real speed he was obstructed and that's what the ref / linesman saw, if it was the EPL unless your Delle Alli its defenetly no penalty but some leagues they give free kicks for just about everything, if you look at stats in every country how long a game is played without interruption (game stoping) I think EPL has the longest time in play, not quite shore about Sweeden where the ref is from

Real Madrid's 3 - 0 is all built on its away goals value, thus creating a situation where Juventus have to score three goals of their own at the Santiago Bernabeu to even have a chance.

I haven't changed my stance once in the last 4 to 5 years and I am glad to Welcome t Lacazette and if he can even produce 75 % of the goals scored in the French league, he will be a huge bonus and it appears a true CF.We hopefully are still in the market for Mahrez as in all probability we wont let Sanchez run down his contract and walk away on a free, as that is not the Arsenal way.We need to sell several players and it's the saving of wages that is most important not what we get and a decision has to be made on particularly Wilshere and it looks like the player we arguably missed the most last season Santi Cazorla maybe coming to the end of his playing days.We have already tried to sell Gibbs and Jenkinson and in all probability add the two keepers, Ospina and Szczesny to the list which leaves Joel Campbell who seems to have missed his chance and should have been sold at a premium after the last WC, but more importantly The Ox and Giroud.Our attack force needs a real hard think as I can't see Perez as a long term Arsenal player, but Walcott, like him or not in all probability will stay.

Atletico would likely score goals as they would want to go out on a high but they stand no chance in upturning the result against Real.

I'm of the opinion that Juventus need to be almost flawlessly clinical against Real in the final, and that certainly wasn't the case on Tuesday night: Gonzalo Higuain missed a golden opportunity in the first half, and then completely flubbed a volley attempt in the second half; right before the Dani Alves goal, Paulo Dybala had a chance to put the icing on the cake and failed; Mario Mandžukić, before he stuffed in his own rebound — which I don't want to take away from, because the window of space with which he had to work was not very big, and he tapped it home with a fair bit of dexterity — missed a golden opportunity, with credit to the keeper.

Even though we got an early goal, we didn't really build on that and our only real clear cut chance was in the 90th minute with some good play with Gervinho and Walcott.

ST: Carlos Vela, 23 years old: After an unsuccessful period at Arsenal, Vela was given a chance out on loan at Real Sociedad last season and with 14 league goals he was signed permanently.

But in my opinion the real beauty of this school (besides the early college) is the chance to be in an environment where everyone has the same goal and genuinely cares about the success of others and the opportunity to work one on one with teachers in small classes.
