you wont see a cazorla or a xavi losing possession, not only that but they drive the
team forward.but unfortunately u hav players like ramsey, who do nt drive the attack like the above two, also he loses possessions sometimes by attempting fancy moves.its sad ramsey gives more importance to style over substance.unfortunately, i feel players like ramsey hav contributed to
arsenal's inability... imagine a
team like barcelona playing with him, constantly losing posession leading to conceding goals and so on.difference is barca's manager wud take them out, while under wenger u r rewarded with the nxt game!!!! i do nt deny he was top notch a season or two back, but now hes a liability imo and need to change his mentality.even that
opportunity he got against tottenham where thought longer before taking a shot thus giving defender time to get to him and take off the ball.i bet if it was cazorla,
arsenal wud hav scored...

team football.

team (defensively), I just think wenger Doesn't know how to play him with out changing the way
arsenal play

teams — Southampton,

opportunity to bitch about next season).
This may be the biggest garbage article put on here sorry for the offense i like the site but this shows the lack of heart and appreciation and sadness of
arsenal fans no love we've been spoiled for so long we cant lose with honor anymore we made it to a cup final a long way to go for any group i did nt see mu there or liverpool or tottenham and we beat a tough chelsea side in semi final to make there and lost a tough match to the best epl
team by far this season and our fans are such poor losers we couldnt even stay to congratulate the
team for making it that far and giving us the
opportunity to go how embarrassing and sad and then try to say no desire i mean lets realistically analysethe game and not listen to so called manchester united scoundrs like Neville who never once cared more about
arsenal than a piece of mud and then try to disassemble the
team after a tough lost what kind fans are we.
Of course, being on the books of one of the «Big Six» is no guarantee of progression to the first
team, and with
Arsenal usually pushing for multiple trophies every season, the
opportunities for younger players to show what they can do in the first
team are often limited.
Finally, if Wenger really cares that
Arsenal go to the next level with Lacazette in the striker's role he will need to surround him with the proper kinds of players, those who compliment his skills and give him a legitimate chance to lead the line... if they can spread the opposing
teams back line with Sanchez on the left and someone of consequence on the right (must purchase this individual), this would likely create some space for Ozil in the middle of the pitch... having 3 players who can not only create their own
opportunities, but provide assists and make well - timed runs, could bring some much - needed directness back into our ticky - tack approach of late... unfortunately instead of making the tough decisions and spending the supporters money in the right places, we instead have wasted so much time bashing our heads against the same brick wall over and over again and expecting different results..
i personally don, t care, some fans think we should have won the pl i agree this was a good
opportunity missed but there are reasons why the other big guns failed this season, maureen lost the dressing room and was fired, man city decided to announce a new manager, united few years ago decided to hire the wrong manager for the club, liverpool decide to succumb to the fans / media pressure and changed manager... it just shows that it all comes down to how a club is run so
arsenal should be given credits for running the club the way they do (don, t get me wrong all is not perfect) they could have decided to sack wenger due to pressure but didn, t, wenger despite his flaws & the
team going through a difficult patch partly due to injuries managed to keep the players on board and steer us to 2nd place, my point is that winning the pl is not a given right and i truly believe than this time around arsene heard the discontent fans and will make the signings necessary, COYG!!

opportunity for him to play, with the young Spaniard taking a rest.
The reported
Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette has opened the door towards a potential move to the Emirates after claiming that a switch to the Premier League would be «interesting» and that a lack of Champions League football would not be a dealbreaker in making the decision, insisting that the biggest factor would regular first -
team football and the
opportunity of being the main striker at his new club.
