No other
top 6
team would have this guy as a
starter... He's ok on the bench but at this moment I would go kolosinac and wilshere
in midfield with ozil miki laca and pea as attacking force... Otherwise they will overrun the midfield and dominate possession... But as with the imperishable mr fox I have no interest
in an ersatz victory based on man city underperforming and giving the fossil an excuse to «respect his contract»
Much easier to recruit 10 of the
top 25 players every year
in a sport where you have 22 «normal»
starters, plus special
teams and situational / rotation spots.
Man city are far from their best and even so there is no hunger from our players... Add the inevitable mistakes from the usual suspects and it looks like we are just going through the motions with no real desire... Any
team with mustafi and xhaka as guaranteed
starters has left the
top flight
in my books... The only positive we are still one nil down I would prefer to see some kind of attacking effort
in second half and loose by 3 than this kind of blandness
That's how title winning
teams should be
in the mental sense, unfortunately Wenger can't get most of his players to give 100 % each game, part of this is because he still relies on certain players that are nowhere near good enough to be
starters for Arsenal let alone a
top 4 club.
Similar situations played out for other
top free agents like Yu Darvish and Jake Arrieta, who both ended up signing with the one
team that made a serious offer, and they were lucky compared to the likes of Lance Lynn, a No. 2

in 2005 when he was first drafted out of high school.
Michigan, which could return three
starters from this year's National Championship runner - up
team (Simpson, Matthews, Livers), isn't
in ESPN's Way Too Early
Top 10 for 2019:
Wenger will sign someone tonight, but trust me, he's not a
starter in his
team, or / and a mid table
team and call him «
top top quality with potentials».

team under him, not to include a George Graham defender, as a regular

Walcott is for any one with half a football brain not a
starter in a
top three
team... For 4th place junkies maybe... No interest
in that anymore... Nor for that matter is mert... if Ramsey gets back to end of season form and wilshere stops his progression can talk about putting the Welshman back but not on current form so no not our strongest line up... Though sadly failure to sign a dfm is an obvious massive failure of cheese eating surrender monkey... 8m a year....
(1) this squad has way too many moving parts and very few of our players are good enough at their preferred position let alone relying on them
in whatever position Wenger and his magic eight ball decide
in the tunnel prior to the game... when
teams do this it generally signals issues within the club, much like Jose last year and Van Gael before him... no one gets settled, the chemistry is almost non-existent and if provides a built -
in excuse when the
team comes up short... these issues fall squarely on Wenger, both for his decisions regarding players coming
in and for his inability to rid the
team of those players who aren't cutting it...
in actually fact we have only 6 real
starters on this current squad and that's being generous (Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette, Sead, Kos & Cazorla)... which is discouraging because Cazorla is injured and might never play again, Sanchez is wanting out and the club is lying to us about his injury status, Lacazette receives no service, Ozil is relatively disinterested out there, Kos is getting up there and Sead is just trying to settle
in... there isn't a single other player that would start regularly on any of the other
top 3
teams, which should be the standard... imagine this
team moving forward if Wenger only sells before the window closes
