in my opinion and those of you suggesting to offer theo and money, Im so glad you don't
run the club, theo is the best r winger
in the league when fit, we also have Wellington silva
coming back, not to mention ox to cover or Sanchez if we want to play Danny or mezut on the left, let city have Raheem and let their already volatile dressing room implode, let's get Cech, lacazette and a solid dm to compete with le coq, sell Chesney to inter for good money podolski could be used as make weight for Morgan or the like release flamini let arteta and Roz have there last season if they choose or let them go if they want more first

Wenger's love for Wilshere is not good for the
team he must be benched, Jack stalls our fluid passing game by
running with the ball then being tackled and Ozil, Santi should be
in the centre with OX, Sanchez and Walcott when he
comes back being the wingers we have lots of pace also with Welbeck upfront!
It also
comes at a pivotal moment
in the season — it just feels like a watershed weekend for lots of
teams for many different reasons; this is the beginning of the squeaky bum
run -
in.
Our side
come into the match with Sutton on a dreadful
run of form, having lost three of our last four
in all competitions, having conceded 10 goals
in the mean time, and with the fans evidently turning on Arsene Wenger currently, the
team may lack the support for Monday's encounter.

Team Holzman was super hot
coming into this Game, having just racked up 19
runs in the previous Game.
As we enter the crucial
run in to the end of the season, which is the time that we traditionally up our game to reach the Champions League positions, we also have another big advantage
in that all of the five
teams above us are still
in the Champions League and Man United, City, Tottenham and Chelsea are also still
in the FA Cup, and are set to face some very tough games
in the
coming weeks, or maybe months if they do well.
Normally, the
Team that wins will
come up near the top of the Power Rankings, however,
in many cases the
Team to watch
in the long -
run is the squad that
came out on the short end of it..
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt
in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he
ran when Henry was
in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened...
in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent
runs, a boss
in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had
in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent
runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him
in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it
comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him
in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences
in Real and with the German
team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is
in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

jack will be back eventually but I think he's not had a long enough
run in the first
team for his absence to be a huge blow... and with rosicky and welbeck
coming back, can't say am too worried.
Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own
team lost so that just maybe real change would finally
come... I resent this
team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith
in those
in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds
run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those
in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions...
in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this
team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting

They can use another slugger
in the middle of the order because every
team can, but also because there are more than a couple of questions when it
comes to how they'll keep scoring their
runs.
corzola is very good at giving us good control when we are up against
teams that stand off our midfield, but if we up against a
team that presses against us we need power to break through and press back, i saw pogba last night and he was miles above all the players on the pitch, when he
came on just
ran the whole midfield on his own, wenger should blow all of his next summers budget signing pogba, even if it takes everything we got the kid is the best young c / m
in the world atm.
This will mean that big
teams will not expect a
run of five straight wins
in the
coming season.
The one thing I have to give credit to Garrett for is he seems to be the one behind making this
team dominate
in the trenches and he also seems to think that means the offensive line
comes first so we can pound the ball with our star
running back and give our QB time
in the pocket when we need to pass.
lst season at stamford bridge, was the first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and well all know the outcome.the manager has
come back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are playing a slow dm
in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality
teams with sound tactics.wen playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to
run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.
Under 23 players look good and many now getting a
run out
in first
team So we are
in transition finally rather than papering over the cracks If we get either Malcolm or Auba then its been a good window with new and younger players
coming in for Sanchez Waclott and Giroud
please stop these silly articles this is a joke Wenger would die rather than play 7 defenders
in his
team he is no mourinho are u influenced by him there is no problem with this formation our past 2 seasons best performances have
come playing this formation and about your one time theory this season only we beat manu that lead us to a
run of fa cup and we won that so do your homework properly.
But there are a few things he wouldn't dare: like
come out to make these sort of statements the last few weeks when the
team was right
in the middle of a really terrible
run.
And, hell, that might be right: LSU just
ran through a stretch of six SEC
teams in seven weeks, including four of the five other ones
in the top 12 of the BCS standings, and
came out 4 - 2 with losses by eight points on the road to Florida and four points at home to «Bama.
It might just be that England don't have Arsenal's fluidity
in breaking down opposition,
teams trying to get a handle on Ozil Alexis Cazorla Iwobi but then one diagonal
run by Theo they don't see
coming is just too much for many
teams.
We are playing wonderful football right now (even our lost to Southampton was due to the
team been tired and also flamini not been fit enough to play week
in week out) I would much rather Sanchez rest for the next 2 weeks and
come back against Chelsea or bring him on for a
run about late against stoke.
I'm not suggesting that CL football is an acceptable target, but Giroud
came back from injury there was realistically, only two
teams in the
running for the title... If we are to sign a player
in the Marquee bracket (35 - 45mil) I personally think it should be / we need someone who will make a sizeable impact this
coming season.
Arsenal are on one of their worst
runs of form for many years, with 5 defeats out of their last 8 games, and the only wins have
come against low - ranking
teams in Lincoln, Sutton and Hull, so Arsene Wenger will be desperate to start picking up points again to try and keep pace
in the race for the Top Four.
Wilshere and Walcott both
came on as subs
in the Hull game and may be on the
team sheet
come Monday, but there are also many other experienced and talented players that may feel they are due a
run out very soon to keep
in shape.
It might have been too late by then, and this
team might not be very good — they were the only
team in baseball not to score 100
runs in August, and only the Mariners and Braves allowed more
runs — so it might have been a blessing that the sense of panic
came too late.
Shut up you muppet Your a totaly blinkerd fool And why are people
coming on here slating English fans all the time How do you know what we think Arsenal is an English club

team played badly The games we won we were having our best
run of form for a long time All because jack is injured ha,, you haven't got it all figured out

It's the issue of applauding him when I feel like anyone else could have sat on a bench for 4 years, learning the same system, and

team for 7 games with an other world defense as a relative unknown.
Nacho Monreal has had his problems since
coming to play for Arsenal, but with a decent
run of games he always
comes good and has surprised many of us, including me, by actually ousting Kieran Gibbs
in the Gunners first
team.
Port Adelaide football club are famous over here for over
running teams in the last quarter because off thier superior fitness and have an awesome track record with injuries since he
came back.
Are some of you on here missing a few brain cells as fans There is nothing Arsenal or Wenger can do with the Sanchez situation He wants to leave and has been offered 400k a week
in wages who
in their right mind is going to turn that down as a player As for blaming wenger who has been our most successful manager helped us build a stadium gave us 20 years of cl football and some of the best
teams the ol has seen Including the invincible and you all have the Gaul to trash the man as if he has done nothing for the club I suggest you should look at the plastic fans
in the Arsenal blogs that have created a toxic atmosphere at the club They attack their own players
in a daily basis why would any top player
come to s club where the manager the owners and players are shamelessly attached constantly Yet Wenger wins trophies regularly even them that is derided Look at Spurs Liverpool they win fuk all every year yet their fans back then Look at yourselves and all the negativity that you have created striking the club before you blame Wenger for everything I have been a season ticket holder since the 70s and never have I seen our fanbase been so full of entitled morons who have stopped backing the club and constantly deride the club snd attack it We have the worst fanbase
in football you have made this great club a lagging stock
in world football All you now us fans constantly moaning If you don't like Arsenal fc then buy out kronke and
run the club or fuk off and support someone else You won't be missed Coyg
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
Our premier league
running coming up looks pretty manageable
in comparison to other
teams... We do have CL matches against the best
team in the world between them though
This might
come at a cost of one or two trophies, but
in the long
run, the
team will benefit.
Joining a club of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement of how our players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list of players who were wrong to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured of all players at the club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided to search for other greener pastures.He was a clear talented footballer during his time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its not helping him or the club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him to get used to the rythm of the game.With time you realise he gets low ib confidence and his engine gets wasted.He needed somebody who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy not wenger.You would have been better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers -
Came us a very talented player from southampton with raw talent.He was very good at first but wenger found a way to reduce his level of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did nt do anything to resolve that problem and instead He looked for other talented players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented player who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready to become a world beater.But wenger decided to let him
run and
run like a headless chicken causing him to be often injured and damaging his confidence.Who knows what would have happened to him gad he decided to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much better player than this.Theo walcott - Another player who was tipped to have a very bright future.He had it
in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on
Coming to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top of that another player who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms well just recently.But imagine all the legendary players he was often compared to during his time at real madrid.On coming to arsenal he found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does not take any responsibility for players.And when at arsenal you have to be your own manager.You need not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same player for the next many years.That is why each and every player are what they are because of their own efforts and wenger had nothing to do with it.Van persie was the same player for over 7 years untill he himself decided to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge team while the rest is in your court.It is not what so many people make it out to be.Thats why we need to pressure wenger more than our own players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs to take that responsi
