Reading's attacking
players wer so tough today dat even koscielny and Gabriel had a hard time dealing wid Dem so ppl who think bellerin shud hav
started against debuchy are totally
wrong!
Actually it's Wenger fault.He knew that next season we will be without Sanchez and ozil, so this season he should have built team for coming seasons with
players that want to play with our club.Sanchez has made some good memories playing for us and he wants new challenge nothing
wrong in it.Hope this Sunday things turns in our way and we
start winning games.
I'm getting annoyed that people fail to notice the positive he did recently (he
started spending money, keep the team in tact, getting a new physio in, try to win game ugly when result is getting bad) while it is very fair points that he made very
wrong judgement in not getting enough defensive cover, and his
players are naive at time in term of tactics.
Chelsea will lose, my prediction is 4 - 1, maybe i am
wrong, maybe we will win 5 - 1, LOL Who knows what will happened, i am feeling that we will trash them, this is same chelsea team which lost against Psg, they are nothing special, they will win league, but to consider them that much better than us is crazy, for me they are in same hat with us, Bayern, Real and Barca are above, this is reality, we had awfull
start of season due to bad preparation, but we need to give our
players credit they deserve, we are equally good as chelsea.
don, t get me
wrong i am very happy & proud of what our team has been doing but we need to get every injured
players back asap because i think after a fair amount of football played & good few injuries it, s
started to take its toll on the team even before the defeat to the saints.
But i do nt understand how club
starts derailing when curtains begin to close.something surely is
wrong there.going by
players comments like for eg.mertesacker once admitted that playes became complacent once they got qualification to last 16.
I just don't know what's
wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things
start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a
player like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history in footballing until now or you feel Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he
started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class striker.
Wenger from time to time has been known to play
players in
wrong positions and not
started his best
players ie Lacazette and Giroud were both on the bench against Liverpool and Welbeck
started.
I will admit that I was
wrong at the
start of the season in saying we only needed 3 - 4 more quality
players to win the league (Kante, Payet, Lukaku and a CB).
I don't really blame any of those
players at all, first mistake from Wenger was his team selection and secondly
wrong players in a
wrong position,, its quite sad with all their mouths and boasting of
starting the season strongly and aiming for the league just a waste of energy and wishful thinking, am putting the whole blame on Wenger, where is Belerin, why Ozil, Cazorla played out of positions, you should know their weaknesses and strength as a coach, why must we pass and pass to score a goal, many opportunities came from shooting distance but the
players will always be looking for the next person to pass the ball to, its quite unfortunate that a big club like arsenal is relying on a scrappy Giroud to lead an attack of a team aiming to win the league.
I tend to think of it as, slow
start again, missed chances, certain
players going missing during games,
wrong subs
wrong time and the quality of the subs.
I am not saying that Aaron Ramsey is a better
player than Jack Wilshere, because the England international has done really well for Arsenal this season and made a very good
start towards proving all his doubters and critics from last season
wrong.
But then, the
player selection was
wrong to
start with, so no excuses.
Johnny Giavotella was once proof that the Royals were dumb and impatient and never going to win anything again, but now he's a complementary
player who should
start only if something else has gone
wrong.
Deluded manager plus greedy board has created a crisis at arsenal with third rate
players being paid first rate wages to keep them loyal and drugged up fans like yourself overdosing on 4th place high... True fans want change when they see the club going in
wrong direction not a string of drug crazed platitudes from tribal loyalists who are so deluded themselves that they actually believe the blame for the crisis lies with the people who have been pointing to its causes... Do you think financial crises only happen because people
start warning about overlevaraged banks, the speculative and fraudulent behaviour of their overpaid employees and the indulgence of their massively overpaid senior management... Pathetic comment
His choice of
starting eleven, his substitutions, tactics or lack thereof and
wrong positioning of
players have time and time again been Arsenal's downfall.
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
I also think it was
wrong to sell Oxlade this season because he was
starting majority of matches and was our best Squad
player even though Wenger played him on the left (he should have played on the right or centre).
The biggest problem has been wenger for long time now «project» run Arsenal football club as an academy and try to prove to everyone else he is the one who knows better and try to bring in kids who have potential but not ready for 1st team resisting spending money to improve squad depth and cling in on average
players: Iwobi, welbeck, theo, chambers, holding and
player other
players on
wrong position Monreal and not give opportunity to good footballer Perez and Campell also you have been holding too much power from transfer,
players contracts, arsenal finances as a whole and now all that BS
start to backfire
As much as i wanted to prove you
wrong (cos i hate dissing our own
players) but You could have surprisingly picked up on a fact — PL only: Sanchez has scored in the 3 games that Giroud hasn't
started and came on as a sub..
After a Tech
player botched the catch on a punt return, Arizona State's Alden Darby picked up the muffed punt and
started heading the
wrong way.
No matter how many
starts you got on the pitch, if the tactics are
wrong and top up with the
players attitude.the opposition has always a chance.
Every time Arsene Wenger and the
players have a good run and get the team into a good position with even the heavily critical TV pundits
starting to believe it could be our year, something goes
wrong and Arsenal fail to live up to the expectations.
Please correct me if I am
wrong but after Arsenal won the FA CUP Wenger and Co promised the Fan's this was just the
start and they would get Top Class
players in.
Wenger has once agin showed how much of a poor manager he has become, wow so many things he got
wrong today
starting with our
starting 11, Sanchez is waisted as striker, Ox should have
started, Carzola ahead od Ramsey and Liverpool sign a
player for 34mil he scores a wonder goal, we sign a
player for 34mil bench him and then bring him on under seious presure, Wenger we need a forward ASAP who can make a goal outta nothing like Mane did, and we need Mahrez for his unperdictable dynamic, Wenger you are poor poor poor poor, gutter poor, go and coach a french ligue 4 side, you pub quaity manager.
Welbz and Theo could be good competition for the CF role and I would like to see how well our attack could perform when they are use to having pace upfront again instead of Giroud, I've tried my best to support the guy but he makes it hard This season he has proved me
wrong and I am also questioning his effect on the team, he does moan a lot to the other
players when he was the one who should of done more... If it was Alexis moaning then I could understand it as that guy plays with 200 % passion but Giroud... Only time he shows passion is when he feels his
starting spot is threatened.
«But there's reality and there's perception, and people are
starting to notice Ed for the
wrong reason: because he's a big white guy and not because he's an unbelievable
player.
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key
players aren't even playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding
players who played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even
started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his
starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me
wrong Arsene
There's nothing
wrong with investing in young talent.If you look at Chelsea's they've stocked buy some of Europe's brightest talent since there last title winning team but I do agree we should be looking at
players who can break our
starting eleven if we can't get them do we settle for less?
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the
starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's
wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that
player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special
players and certainly can't help make the
player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper
players in the final third... he was never a good defensive
player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly
start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a
player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand
players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those
players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
Everyone and their brother knows that it's not uncommon for teams to not even dress
players that might be on the move, especially high - valued assets... can you even imagine a Sanchez that was emotionally invested in the future of this club not playing to
start the season; considering the stakes and his penchant for playing injured... he should be chomping at the bit after his Confed loss and lengthy layoff... there is clearly something
wrong here and I don't mean an abdominal strain... either the club is freezing him out, for whatever selfish reason, or he's simply using every last tool in the shed before dropping the request for transfer bomb
I'm
starting to believe there are some people here who have a crush on Xhaka want to brain wash others with his display regardless good or bad and today he was clearly terrible and made two fatal mistakes and if compared to Elneny the later made the 1st goal assist and almost not one touch
wrong on the ball despite the few back and side passes which were necessary against a team playing zone defense intimidating any Arsenal
player on the ball
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS on an article about Chambers at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one from management has ever explained why such a frugal club spent so much money on him in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for
players who could have a monumental impact on the very future of our club but somehow we found $ 16 million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't get me
wrong, I like what he showed at times last season in Middlesbourogh but from the handful of games I watched him play I still have some serious questions about his consistency as a back - line
player in the EPL; as such he should prove himself on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that wants him in the
starting 11... bottom line, let's not get bogged down with the semantics of peripheral
players and focus on the real task at hand = figure out who the hell is going to be our
starting 11 for the foreseeable future, which means getting contracts signed, getting rid of a lot of deadwood and bringing in talented
players into the positions which truly need upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise
No need to shell out 50 m as we almost certainly will achieve this, I can not see us signing anyone unless it's an average
player to add to the squad, I would love to be
wrong but our challengers are UTD and Liverpool neither are far away from us, I'm sorry we can forget city and even Chelsea with their bad
start we are not in their league ATM.
It's because Wenger has used
players in completely the
wrong positions in every game, and also on all three occasions, he has decided to pick a weaker
starting XI than he needed too.
The tactics at home are all
wrong, the
players buckle under pressure, panic from the outset in defence, the manager looks bereft of ideas eventually panic sets in up front as well when the
players start to realise they aren't going to score or win.
Wenger needs to go It's not just the
wrong or poor transfer signings but also what he does during the season ie not
starting Lucas, not keeping Alexis up front, playing
players out of loyalty when they are not performing well.
All those guys have been nonsense over the past couple of weeks yer they
start every game... we need a manager that's a tactician, we need
players that are mentally strong, we need a new medical team the other big teams hardly ever have as many injuries as us, oh and Ozil must just leace I'm tired of that man he epitomises everything
wrong with Arsenal
What is
wrong with you people?stop pimping us about Wiltshere!!!!!!, for Gods sake he is gone, he is no longer Arsenal
player, he said it himself, he is concentrating at his new club and he do nt want to sign new contract with Arsenal, he f...... refuse!!!!!! And you peoples keep pumping us with Wiltshire, forget about him and
start talking about Arsenal
players.
There was one play where he had the ball stolen from him on the near touch line and he not only gave up the play, he
started chatting with the closest TFC
player about what they'd done
wrong.
It is a move Wenger says is «the
wrong decision» and the Gunners boss is concerned his
players will not have enough time recuperate before pre-season
starts.
It is the
wrong time to
start showing interest in other
players in the middle of the club competitions and Champions league.
Speaking BBC Sports, Conte said it was
wrong to
start apportioning blames on an individual
player.
I read somewhere that some said we're not clinical enough that is a culture at wenger has become too friendly with the
players at Arsenal the
players position are seldom under treat you play poorly for two weeks and you still make the team you missed a look at almunia retrospectively don't understand that hey if i get a chance to score i must take it the first time cause i may not get a next one and you want the
players to be clinical it must
start from the top good work or none As was said on a website to day Arsenal should parade through the streets of london in an open top Bus at the end of the season the accountants of the club and i will through wenger in there too cause to most of you he can do no
wrong I love this club with all my heart and i can support no other club in football but to see for 5 seasons we can't show any vast improvement and keep making the same mistakes every year is hard to swallow it makes me sick but as wenger says judge me at the end i wonder what end he meant the end of the season or the end of his contract GO ARSENAL......................
Culpability has to
start somewhere, and if our
players aren't strong enough to withstand the demands of PL football, something must be
wrong with our set - up.
Ultimately, we may
start the season well, thanks to the form, experience and ability of the top
players at the club, but injuries in the
wrong place (an inevitability) could bring the house crashing down.
MF Morgan Schneiderlin, 7 — Too late in the season to right the
wrongs of a collection of pitiful performances to this point, but this was an encouraging
start and the rarest of glimpses of the
player so effective last season.
Before the match even
started I was certain we would lose in the manner that we did, it was up to you and the
players to prove me
wrong, but you couldn't.
I was
wrong to think Belgium's star
players would be too good for Wales and should have reminded myself of calling Marc Wilmots «Sven Jr» at the
start of the tournament.
