With Cazorla
taking over as creator, Ozil has been shipped out to the wing and whilst he struggled earlier in the
season in this position, on his return to the first XI after long term
injury the German seems to have bulked up, reassessed his game and figured out the kind of role Wenger wants him to have in the team.
Why is every Arsenal fans keep complaining about this draw, one thing I know for sure is that, Wenger is a wounded lion don't think you can
take him down so easily because of his
injury we know is hard sometimes for any team to face Bacerlona in the peach but is 11 players either side only the quality some times but we do have quality players too so why is the worries come on guys i know We can do this Wenger can do it, is our
season it's a reason for the past 9
seasons without trophy God have something special for us & this is it.
AKB's just never run out of excuses, it isn't «bad luck» when we are first on the
injury ladder (by a country mile as well) EVERY
SEASON, the last time i remember having a reasonable
injury list was before diaby was
injury prone, so whether it's down to his tactics, players diets or imcompetent staff, a 2.5 star manager wouldn't have
taken more than 2 - 3
seasons to fix these problems, players join our club with amazingly good
injury records (ozil) and become injry prone, players leave our club (fabregas) and are fit 2x as much as they were for us, SOMETHING IS WRONG AT ARSENAL

takes
I wouldn't mind if he
took off a lot of the pressure from Neuer next
season just to make sure the
injury doesn't come back.
Wilshere for all his
injuries is far better than both Ramsey and Xhaka.I just don't know the importance of Xhaka in the team if he can't defend.He's the real problem in the squad.Why do fans keep accepting mediocrity?Aren't we tired?It's painful seeing him play every match in our midfield then the same people who claim to love him would come and be making noise about how average he is after a bad match forgetting that he's actually average.I'd easily play Maitland - Niles or Coquelin over Xhaka.They would provide more steel in the midfield.Is it going to
take us four
seasons to realize how average Xhaka is?The painful things is that by that time many trophies would've have by passed us.

season hype ahead of the ACTUAL
season.
Fair enough, I just wonder if he'd still be playing top flight football if he had been at United from the start with such a horrendous
injury record, Fergie would have shipped him off ages before his eventual recovery, dare I say he was destined to win the Premier league the
season he won it with United anyways, he was the hottest striker in the league for those two
seasons, the only thing we lacked in his final
season at Arsenal was enough creativity behind him and a lack of suitable replacement to
take ocassionally
take the load off him, but then Cazorla, Poldi and Giroud had been brought in for re-inforcements, he played with a patently inferior team to Arsenal's that
season at United, with the exception of Rooney of course, he single handedly carried them to the title, what away to show loyalty.

But after an
injury plagued 2016 where he only played seven games, he somehow
took his game to an even higher level this
season.
its even more baffling when you consider there are other options who have dome well for their clubs all through the
season, the way Dier played last night just goes to show Wilshire is mot needed, we are not talking a proven world class player here the types you can not afford not to
take to big tournaments, we are talking a decent
injury prone player who os over hyped
I will admit i was one of the ones to want Klopp at Arsenal, though its not going as great as he wouldve hoped for, it
takes time to adjust to the prem and i still believe after the summer when he gets a couple of his own players in, ones back from
injury and a pre
season after this wake up call of what it actually
takes to make it in this League he will do very well at Liverpool.
Another area i feel we should adress is our mildfied, since carzola get
injuries every time, i think we need well experienced players like Andres Iniesta of Barcelona would be a massive adding to our midfield, he wants to leave Barca, he wants new challenge, we could make him come to Arsenal, and give him up to 280 weakly wages and
take him for 2 years, but with Wenger our coach i doubt it, Getting a Deffensive midfielder in person of Everton Idrissa Guaye, won most tackles last
season, won 2nd most tackles 2
seasons ago, very similar to kante.

injuries against liverpool) which I would have thought impossible last
season.
I guess AW is not
taking into the account the «Arsenal

Debuchy complained at the start of last
season that Wenger never gave him the chance to re-establish himself in the first team, after an
injury saw Hector Bellerin
take the Frenchman's spot.
the
injuries are easing up a bit to for us the medical team + shad are doing a good job on keeping the
injuries down and recovery time quicker, time for wenger to deliver next
season no excuses anymore everything is in place to do it just get the transfers right this summer and we should go for it if wenger feels he cant
take us further forward than this summer after a sit down with the board then.
I think the sensible option would be sign someone like Benzema if possible, that is a proven goal scorer instead of
taking unecessary risks that bank on the hopes of someone like walcott remaining
injury free and akpom pulling a «harry kane» this
season.
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by
season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous
injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to
take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
Swansea City's fine start to the new
season under new boss Michael Laudrup could be about to
take a turn for the worst as
injuries threaten to cost them dearly.
-- We all knew Diaby is always a risk — We all knew it will
take Theo a long time to get back — We all knew players coming from the WC could pick up knocks (OG / Ozil / Kos / Debuchy)-- We all knew Sanogo's record in the nursing room — We all knew Arteta / TR7 ages (with age, some players pick up more knocks than ever)-- We all knew Ramsey / Wilshere / Chambo / Gibbs don't go
season long without
injuries — We all knew Wenger's zip coat could start acting up
Ronaldo turns 33 next year, Benzema has just turned 30 and Bale made just 27 appearances last
season, his worst tally since arriving in 2013, as
injuries took their toll.
Injuries indeed a factor, but then again that is every
season (should
take a look at that) but we CONSISTENTLY fail specially this
season, because our Manager does not innovate, adapt, change strategies when he needs to... we have a team that could beat the Top 4 other teams with lesser quality do it why shouldn't we??
I understand why Wenger would want to introduce Gibbs and Debuchy back into the starting lineup because they were actually suppose to be the starting full backs at the beginning of the
season but
injuries changed that and Monreal and Bellerin
took their chances well.
Nonsense, what is the essence of top 4 when u failed every
season in Europe, or
taking delight in your rivals
injury.
defensively he did well chasing the ball... we have given chances to other players for years and still they have not developed their full potential, my
take is that we (WENGER) does not execute the proper squad rotation, playing the same players again and again, is the reason why we don't have a plan B a second team that can change games and certainly has to be a factor for the out of the chart
injuries our players sustain
season after
season.
His fractured tibula means that the 23 year - old hasn't been able to play much this
season, but I would like to believe that Wenger was keen on making him his top target until his
injury took him off the market.
It sounds harsh, but jack was a super TALENT, not because he is english, but he also showed it on field, but the operative word here is WAS,
injury has
taken toll on his talent and his ability to finish a
season, i have seen him forced into a squad (team) to make world cup and euro cup teams when he was no way near match fitness, but wenger still pushed with him.
All u have to do is look at the number of players wenger uses each
season,
take the league cup out of the equation and wenger basically uses between 22 and 24 players, even with our horrendous
injury record.
For an example in the Premier League (lets keep Arsenal out of this)
take the case of Southampton (at least in the early part of the
season, it's lack of quality in depth killed it in latter part of
season as fatigue and
injuries took toll, barring which, I believe, Arsenal and Man Utd would be seeing a different sky today).
Kos is becoming more and more
injury prone,
take him out of the equation and we are light on quality central defenders but it is too early to write Kos of IMO and I think Gabriel does better in a 3 at the back on the right than in a 4 at the back so let's see how this
season pans out.
Calum in there too as he will be
taking Flamini's place for next
season and will be vital cover until our
injuries are back.
