Opposing
squads have seen Doms take over games and change the outcome with a number of impressive moves and jukes en route to a game - deciding goal.
I reckon this is one of the strongest young England
squads I have seen for a long long time, with players like Harry Kane, Danny Ings and Jack Butland and I think I will be betting on them to win to win the trophy to give the games more interest for me.
Yes, this isn't the strongest Barca - squad we've seen, but I do feel we have the players to perform better than what we are right now.
This is the best Team Cohen squad we've seen for a few years.
I» v been a fan of Arsenal for 12 years, when i became an Arsenal's fan, Arsenal didn't win the premier league even once and have seen Arsenal getting wrecked badly by teams like Man utd and Chelsea, but also in these times i have seen beautiful football from Arsenal that no other team can play and this year's squad even without Alexis is the strongest Arsenal
squad i have seen since i became it's fan.
Prior to any signings, United look like one of the most unbalanced top - class
squads I have seen for a few years.
But the winger understands that getting into the first team is not an easy task, and he acknowledged as much by admitting that this was the best Arsenal
squad he has seen in his career:
Not exact matches
During his deployment, Johnson was largely confined to base in an area of Afghanistan that
had seen heavy combat but that was relatively quiet when his unit arrived in November 2013, according to his former
squad leader.
The Toronto Star
has reported that Lisi
has been under investigation by a specially formed police
squad over allegations that he and Ford staff - member David Price tried to retrieve an alleged video
seen by two Toronto Star reporters, apparently showing the mayor smoking crack cocaine and making various racist and homophobic remarks.
In turn, depending on the opposition and what Valverde feels suits the players at his disposal best, Barca
have a lot of quality in the
squad and it
would be a surprise to not
see them competing for major honours this season regardless of whether or not they were able to land all of their top targets this summer.
However I'm not going to sympathise with Wenger suggesting that it's a tough start, when we can all
see that our
squad needs new additions in order to boost the quality we
have available to us, when our first team stars can not be picked.
I
have not
seen a set of fans that don't want improvements to their
squad as much as some Arsenal fans here.
I feel he needs to do this to restore our faith in him so that in years to come we don't panic if we
see little or no activity in the transfer window, because with everybody around us significantly improving their
squad, Wenger
has been quoted talking about the cohesion of the
squad is more important than
having one absolutely amazing player who wins everything for the club.
Eriksen
would be a good
squad player but don't
see him in our 1st X1 if everyone is on form and fit.
Ozil and Sanchez (The Chilean basically carried us for the first half of the season when the keys of the team were given to the worse midfielder in the Arsenal
squad, Jack Wilshere... He is tired and it is easy to
see)
have come to Arsenal to get paid because they know they will win f*ck all here.
We
have seen Isaac Hayden and Hector Bellerin already in the
squad and they did not look fazed by the occasion of a first team appearance.
As an Arsenal fan I
would love to
see us get to the point where we
have 2 WC players (1 «old» and 1 in prime) for every spot, 22 players who need to be registered and this allows an allowance of 3 players for the
squad, utility players / big personality... Use kids to make a 3rd man for every spot, get them ready to step into the shoes of an older WC player.
I think if LACAZETTE can keep this up, he's going to claim a place in the french world cup
squad next year, his goal scoring instinct is sharp, he knows he won't get too much chances and makes use of the few ones he gets and he was unluncky not to
have scored against chelsea and his header wasn't a fluke, he knew where the post were and he directed the ball, he will be handful for defender when our complete
squad starts and luckily for us he's not an injury prone player,
having him, Sanchez (if he stays), Giroud and Ozil fit will be vital for us this season and i
see plenty of goals..
He
had the money to spend last summer but could not
see a way to strengthen our
squad.
I love the way wallcott played yesterday he defended well and the run belerin made to save us that was class When a team play together as a unit and fight calmly and back each other well the sky is the limit... We
saw Leicester do it last year with a cheap
squad we
have experience and skill and pace what we need is togetherness and together we can us and the Arsenal
They are great players to
have in the
squad so maybe some of you should look at our starting team and
see where Arsenal can improve there.
You compare our
squad with Chelsea and your
see a great difference in size, its a marathon not a sprint, don't drop you pantyhose to yet another rumour mill because arsenal happen to
have a few strikers or
have you forgot giroud just like the media before you.
It remains to be
seen how his future plays out, but at just 25 years of age with almost 300 appearances for Bayern and 60 caps for Austria to his name coupled with countless trophies, Alaba
would be a great addition for any
squad.
Who also
saw that Wenger
has no real interest in building the
squad with quality, at that time!
He is better than a few of our
squad options and i for one wouldnt mind
seeing him come on for a Sant Cazorla or a M Ozil when we
have a precious lead in a vital encounter, not only because of his workman like attitude but because he can offer something in attack at the same time.
no fans like you need to take off your blinkers and stop being so deluded arsenal
have a very good
squad and are on the brink to achieving something great everyone can
see arteta is the weak link if arsenal need some one to pass it back to the defenders and side ways ill be more than happy to do it free.
From mid 2013 to mid 2014 we were the best team by points when we
had the lowest injurys,
would just like to
see this
squad without the long term injuries such as Theo, Ozil, Ramsey... I think this
squad, with additions to the defense and DM, at strength
would compete.
It was hoped that despite the eagerness to
see Xhaka in a starting role with the
squad, that Coquelin's injury wouldn't be anything too serious.
Arsenal fans will
have the chance to
see a huge number of supposed targets during the match, with as many as 10 players in the
squads that are linked with our club.
We
have plenty of room for rotation in the
squad for against Besiktas, I
'd like to
see Flamini, Campbell, Giroud, Rosicky and Ox all used, preferably from the start to keep the
squad fresh.
I
see some
have already turned this in to an anti-Wenger rant — the same people who «only want whats best for this club» and for the club to progress and to
see ruthless management and build proper
squad depth are getting teary eyed and eulogising over a fantastic, brilliant, exciting player with almost perfect technique who for whatever reason
has never lived up to his potential.
As fans we
have seen in previous seasons that Arsenal sides
have lacked the mentality and belief to take them to the very top, however this season it seems as if the
squad is relatively confident in knowing exactly what they
have to do to win big.
Wenger said (and I quote) «The top club will buy more quality players and will get stronger next season... We
have improved and we will
see what we can do on the transfer market to reinforce our
squad».
Once this transfer window is over, we can go through all the players that were bought by big clubs and
see if any one of them
would have been an upgrade to our
squad.
not quite sure about the maths here... but realistically 3 1 to city if both teams put in their best... only hope is they are knackered after napoli in which case i wouldnt rule out a draw if we can keep a decent tempo... real test in the middle of the park and i
would like to
see wilshire start as he is the only
squad member who can control a ball and look up at the same time... another xhaka ramsey routine will
see us lose sadly
we
have no cover for CB at all then, Chambers needs to sit on the bench and be healthy for covering RB and CB as much as i want to
see what hes like as a DM its too high of a risk to play him there atm, I
'd def go for bellerin for RB though hes so fast and
has tremendous technical ability, One person i think wenger should of taken to dortmund is diaby just incase hes needed
would be nice for diaby to get a good 60 min game but i do nt think hes ready for CL just yet since he hasnt even featured in the PL yet but then again no harm in taking him since hes been linking up with bellerin pretty well in the U21's we must remember we
have some really good youngsters in the
squad than can fill in some of the spaces.
Three Arsenal players — Debuchy, Giroud and Ozil — look set to be out of action until the turn of the year, at least, which means that Wenger
has been handed a serious kick up his backside, with a small
squad at the start of the season further shortened by this injury pileup that also
sees Ramsey, Arteta, Diaby, Monreal and Sanogo not yet fit to return.
Cat c = Song (7 - 9m
had a good season,
would come back as a
squad player) Krychowiak (worth around 9m his team want20m can't
see us bidding more than 15m) Aranguiz (12 - 15m
would be the wildcard also linked with Chelsea very good Chilean player approaching his peak)
Pochettino
saw his White Hart Lane side fall short of a top four finish in 2014/15 and
has been working hard to trim his expansive
squad this summer.
quite the epic first post I
've seen from you, you're showing real promise with the under - 21s comment
squad.
The complete absence of any LWs in the whole
squad is by far the most noticeable and blinding error I
've seen... but
has been an ongoing one for about a decade!
Having seen jenkinson performance in the last match with u21, I think he
has future in arsenal and deserves first team
squad.

Whatever happens this is the
squad we
have until at least Jan, so we need to get behind them and
see where we go.
Just
seen the state of the Juventus
squad for next season, why can't we
have ambition like these big clubs, we
have the history, the money to build something yet we sit here and wait for something to come to us, it ain't happening.
Having come through the youth ranks at Old Trafford, supporters will always be pleased to
see him develop and improve into key parts of the senior
squad, and it looks as though provided United reciprocate the feeling, Lingard will likely commit his long - term future to the club sooner rather than later.
(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the teams in the premiership and those we could face in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to
have a manager who can prepare this
squad for this eventuality and
have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I
have seen nothing in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he
would replace a small, pacy striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager in the world that plays more players out of their natural positions (square peg in a round hole)
I remember
seeing a few interviews with Wenger but tbh he never spoke about change and he, in fact, said he believed he
had the
squad capable of winning the PL and a
squad that didn't need an overhaul.
I understand that there may not currently be a 9 available that is bang on better than Giroud, but I
'd like to
have seen Arsene maybe take a stab at Jackson Martinez earlier in the window, or truly make an offer to PSG that might entice them to balance their books and sell Cavani — saying this with the understanding that I don't know that I
've seen him be spectacular in recent memory, but with the
squad of players that
would be behind him, certainly he could improve us.
Arsenal
have a great balance of youth and experience in my opinion and it's a balance that will
see the young players especially benefit from the talents and experiences of the older members of the
squad.
