Not exact matches
Both Ramsey and Cazorla can defend and score
as well and I am expecting a very tight match for Ozil to control the ball and make the
right pass... Ramesy for Cesc and Coq for Hazard (tight m2m)... I am sure Monreal will handle his
back very well and I hope the same for Bellerin against Hazard... Giroud will find difficulties to hold up the ball against Cahill and Tery, he must be on his day... Welback to do them the same of Utd game... Gabriel should start most of the remaining games, BFG should be benched next
season
Wenger got a Japanese striker and we still have Sanogo, Giroud, Walcott (lost soul and useless
as we know), Wellbeck (coming
back one day) and Akpom (who is systematically loaned every
season because he clearly does not have the level)... That is the answer «the deluded one» will automatically give you... And he is
right... That is a lot of strikers even though none or most of them can not find the path to the goal
I am including the Arsenal
right back Carl Jenkinson in this
as well
as Calum Chambers and Serge Gnabry, even though it looks like Jenks will be spending another
season on loan away from the Emirates stadium.
The 25 - year - old is not a natural in that position, having started out
as a
right -
back before making the move to the opposite side in the 2013/14
season, and it may be that manager Jose Mourinho would favour a left - sided player for that role, allowing Azpilicueta to slot
back in at
right -
back.
I also get what you're talking about in terms of Dotson's pay per game that he plays in... but my concern there is more that
as of
right now it looks like the odds are very good that we'll have to play Dotson's backup for a good chunk of the
season, and I don't know if «x» games by Dotson are worth «y» games by Wester or whoever we have
backing Dotson up.

The 40 - year - old, who won eight Premier League titles
as United's star
right -
back between the early 1990s and 2011, only joined Valencia on a short - term deal until the end of the
season.
This
season he has played
right back, centre
back and DM, and whilst I feel he will eventually be a DM I have gone for RB
as that is where he has played most frequently.
Arsene Wenger will hopefully not have to look for any reasons why Arsenal do not win away against relegation threatened Sunderland tomorrow,
as we really need a good performance and the
right result from the lads to go
back above Man City and take a step closer to ensuring that we have a place in the Champions League next
season and do not have the stress and inconvenience of a play off.
If its Cavalho, then Chambers becomes Vermaleen's replacement and Hector is coming of age
as our second
Right Back for the
season (Jenkinson is still on our books though not available to us this
season) and if its Sokratis, Chambers will become our holding / defensive midfielder.
Antonio Conte has deployed him at
right wing -
back in his 3 -4-3 system, and it has worked a treat
as Moses has been a revelation this
season.
Their championship
season arrived at exactly the
right time, just
as the Spurs were beginning to decline and
right before the Lakers built themselves
back into a juggernaut.
Darmian is capable of playing on either flank at full -
back — having featured regularly on both wing last

as a centre -
back, having started his career in this position [via the Daily Star].
The 23 - year - old's arrival will be a huge boost to all at Barca given he will solve their problems at

right -
back berth next
season with PSG chasing Branislav Ivanovic.
A top target from Southampton, Nathaniel Clyne has had a superb
season and looks an ideal choice to come in
as the club's new main
right -
back.
Chelsea
right -
back Branislav Ivanovic has endured a torrid start to the new
season, and is now surely under threat
as the Blues enter the final couple of days of the transfer window.
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's)
A big enough offer for Debuchy and him wanting to leave might change matters
as we have enough cover but it totally comes down to if the money is
right and if Debuchy comes
back from this injury in the end of the
season.
The 23 year - old
right -
back was reported
as being in talks with Wenger last summer with a view to moving to the Emirates for free when his contract ended, but the ex-Spanish youth international has only featured once for Barca this campaign and has made it clear through his agent that he doesn't want to waste the rest of the
season in the reserves.
Our player of the
season so far?Certainly the most consistent.JACK AND OZIL CONTRACTS - just get them signed up for F *** S SAKE.Jack doesn't want to go anywhere and Ozil will have his choice of big clubs to choose from if allowed to be able to go on a free.How about giving out a statement of our ambitions (yeah
right) and show were prepared to pay whatever it takes (up to the point of being ridiculous) to SIGN the best and KEEP the best» These two are the best we have so get them sorted early to send out a message of how serious we intend to be.AUBAMEYANG - So what if he has a contract.So did Sanchez.Offer the
right money to Dortmund and the player and he will be ours.What is there to question over this deal?He is a proven goalscorer.We have just lost one.Get the deal done.GIROUD - Get rid of him to Dortmund if they want him either by selling or if it sweetens the deal just loan him till the end of the
season.He was a
back up when Sanchez was here and will be on the mix of
back ups if Auba signs.He has a World Cup squad to fight for just to be considered so needs to be playing every week.We do not need him if Auba signs and would demand better than him if the deal fails to happen.Just get rid.JONNY EVANS - I'm not sure.Agree Kos needs nursing through games and we do not have consistent performers to come in if he is injured or rested mainly due to both Chambers and Holdimg not progressing through
as much
as we first thought and hoped for.Gooners have always been patient and supportive of the youngsters
as they have come through but question marks to the whole coaching staff
as to why these two seem to have stalled
as much
as they have done.Steve Bould - What do you do?You should be ashamed.
It's also great that he's content with playing
as either a striker or a winger, but in my opinion, with Iwobi and Walcott proving effective so far this
season, why would it be
right for one of them to be dropped so Alexis can move
back out wide for the French forward to regain his place upfront.

right -
back as they look to strengthen their squad for next
season ahead of their return to the Champions League and the Metro claimed last week that they were in advanced talks after making an # 18million bid for the Saints star.
I don't think we'll miss Gibbs, because Bellerin will start
as right back anyway in my opinion and the fact we've started the
seasons with just 6 defenders is absurd.
Oh and Theo is having a good
season so far, I want to see him start on the
right, 15 goals in 26 games is nice from the
right, esp
as he does run
back and help defend now
as well.
Fellow Juve centre -
back and club legend Giorgio Chiellini has said, «Daniele arrived
as a 21 - year - old, has come on a great deal and is on the
right track for a guy who has 10 to 15
seasons at Juventus ahead of him,»... «When you arrive here you can't expect to play every game in your first
season, that's also how it was for me.
The board needs to come out and clarify things
as well
as apologize for the way the
season has gone vowing to do everything in there power this summer to put things
back on the
right path... Seems like one protest won't be enough at this point...
Former Raiders and Rams linebacker Mike Jones recalls Raiders fans in the Bay Area coming to see him play for the Sacramento Surge in the World League
right after his innocuous first
season as an undrafted rookie... three years before the team moved
back to Oakland.
Arsenal have been on the
right and wrong side of some examples of this over the years, such
as the timing of David Ospina's calanity in the Champions League this
season which snatched the momentum form us and gave it straight
back to Olympiacos just after Theo Walcott had given Arsenal a huge shot in the arm.
That and his versatility, which means he can play at
right back as well, mean that Coquelin could be a useful squad player for the Gunners this
season, especially if Wenger does not sign anyone else for that role before Monday night.
After a fine start to the
season, summer signing Matteo Darmian continues
as usual at
right -
back for United.
There has been a lot of talk about Bellerin and his potential over the last year or so, and of course he will improve with time and experience, but
as a Metro report shows, his stats show that the young Gunner is already the best
right back in the EPL this
season.

This has proven a good move by the young Spaniard, who has made himself first choice at
right -
back for the Gunners this
season with some fine displays, though his has now seen Catalan publication Sport suggest him
as a transfer target for Barca.
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
this window has just finished i am already thinking about who we will get for the january window we might try for khedira on a really low offer
as he is free agent almost would help boost numbers in midfield in the new year
as we will no doubt need to filling the numbers about then also i will hold my hands up and say i was wrong this morning for giving wenger stick and saying welbeck is rubbish i have been out in the cold light of day and had a chance to reevaluate the situation and realized that this could be a canny shrew transfer on wenger behalf actually if wenger can turn the clock
back and work his magic on welbeck and get him scoring goals and improve his game then we could have a great underrated signing on our hands its wengers absolute trust in him that might be what makes him a great player
as this is something that he never had at old mordor if anybody can make him a world beater wenger can he loves this little pet projects improving players against the odds welbeck has the skillset to be high class player upfornt he just needs to work very hard on his finishing i think once he gets a few goals under his belt he will settle in fine and he is a team player you could put him on the left against man city to shore up that side and he will put in a great shift without a complaint that could be his biggest asset to us or on the
right whenever we need him there ithinkwenger might start himon the left against city to protect the left
back against navas and i bet you if he does a great job we will take a shine to him quickly i am hopeing he will be one of those wenger gems that he finds and polishes up to a high finish i must admit i was annoyed
as some other gunners were at not signing d / m and c / h but if wenger does win the league with this lot it will be his greatest win yet and what might play in to our hands is the unpredictable nature of the league in the last few
seasons if we get on a good run at the
right time we might be hard to stop look at city they should have never lost to stoke but the result is there in black and white for all to see and i think chelsea will hit the skids after a while to just because cesc and costa are doing well now thats there main threat but teams will work out how to stop them
as the
season goes on and chelsea will become predictable i think we might just do well this
season after all
Next
season it will be a similar thing with jenkinson
as 2nd choice
right back, both will do for me.
Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic and PSG
right -
back Serge Aurier are both on Mourinho's radar this summer report the Express, with the former Real Madrid boss wanting to bring in two full -
backs and another attacker in order to fully challenge for the Premier League title this
season,
as reported by the Independent.
If all goes well, he'll go
right into surgery
as soon
as the
season wraps up and the kids go
back to school.
It is up to Arsenal to make the most of any slip ups by our Premier League rivals of course, and after slipping
back into third place, even though we are only behind Man City on goal difference, means that we will need to do better than them and Leicester City for the rest of the
season, while the run of results from our north London rivals has brought Tottenham
right up to just two points behind us and got people talking about them
as genuine title contenders.
It comes
as Mourinho has opted to play Antonio Valencia at
right back so far this
season, with Matteo Darmian seemingly not figuring in his plans.
Having made just one appearance so far this
season which came in the Europa League, the future in Manchester looks bleak for the Italian international
as Mourinho evidently has his eyes on other players to fill the
right -
back role moving forward.
