Another theory: When Wenger first arrived, (At his more successful period at the club), His only job was to deal with his
team and tactics, finding Gems etc, but as the year's went by, he
took on more responsibilities at the club (more work)
taking the club to the next level, (financial wise) and maybe that could be the reason for his downfall in where it matters the most for the fan's... On the
pitch!
If ozil wonders around the
pitch moaning as he has, gets knocked off the ball like he really couldn't give a ****, makes little the effort to keep the
team shape i.e. actually runs when he loses the ball (rather that standing looking like a little boy who's just had his ice cream
taken off him) or the opposition breaks, then he is as much of a liability as he an asset.
Teams take mascots out onto the

In addition, if neither Cazorla nor Ramsey improve their game by a mile, i reckon Ox (for ramsey) or Sanchez (for Cazorla) should
take their place on the
team and put Poldi on the left winger (or even Campbell on the right) They do nt even have to be bad, this could even be nothing more than a proposition on how to rotate the squad in the way of avoiding injuries on players, as well as giving frustrated benchwarmers some much appreciated time on the
pitch.
AW clearly loves the club and has given it 20 years of his life, he has, as already mentioned,
taken us from being a lower top tier club to being at one point a
team who's footballing prowess and skills on the
pitch were the model and envy of all around us.
but, im ok with this vardy transfer... it shows us many things: 1) wenger is changing, something some of us have been demanding for a long time; 2) it shows that wenger is
taking risks: think about it, he is buying a men for a not cheap price, knowing he could not getting anything after, with a future sell i mean... this is an act that shows wengers intentions to win something, the buy is not motivated by any financial or economic reason but only for a «get the f epl once again» reason... this is an act that shows us hungry, even if we fail, we could said we try... first ever, we really try; 3) finally but very important... vardy is the kind of player we need... he is a warrior, a fighter... he has character... look at how he celebrate his goals... full of energy... he, like alexis, can motivate the
team when the things are not going in our way (something wenger cant do because of his age and because he has never been an active coach on the
pitch)... the vardy transfer, if it finish well, is a demostration of a change, and a good one... lets
take care of winning things and do nt look the economic side for once... vardy is a bit old, but we can give a chance to welbeck after maybe, or akpom... u are not thinking about the future when we talk about ibra... guys: u complain when wenger do nt spend or because he is always looking for the bargain when u are the guys who has to pay the very expensive tickets... u complain when wenger buy the always for the future guy... like morata... stop to complain for everything and be consequent with yourself... i would love auba, but it is not going to happen... lukaku is awesome but the asking price is stupid... lets try with vardy, give us the throphy..
Under Garagiola the
team drafted MVP candidate Justin Upton, who is
taking the same leap in his age - 23 season that many star outfielders have at that same age, dramatically improving his
pitch recognition and plate discipline — he has cut his strikeout rate by a third — while learning how to drive the ball.

It's a horrific thought that it
took a little girl getting hit in the face with a 105 - mph

pitch and you give a minimum of 100 %... I have yet to see this from our
team this season and they should
take some responsibility for this as well as the manager for IMHO poor
team selection.
The reason Nasri and RVP did so well was because they played with confidence and didn't always follow the manager's passing instructions, you would see them dribble past players to create goals and show their discontent with the
team when we played badly, we haven't seen that for the past 5 years, it's like the manager doesn't want players to
take command of a game and that would explain why we never have any leaders on the
pitch.
Atleast all our players would have had to know every other players style on the
pitch of play not in the training ground, i used to say akb but honestly wenger is not acting like the acronym, something has to happen the man has got to wake up or step down, but im scared of change cos it is like a gamble, a new coach with a new philosophy and style, it might
take time to adapt and that time would be enough for other
teams to step up thus demoralsing the club, both fans and board, wouldn't like us to do a porchettino, look at Liverpool, if its gona be a new coach its got ta be one of em arsenal ol boys, who knows what it is like to be called a gooner, that's just my thought on this matter,
Ramsey is not been played in his preferred position and ut shows but the boy leaves everything on the
pitch everytime... he

pitch near where other
teams take throw ins.
corzola is very good at giving us good control when we are up against
teams that stand off our midfield, but if we up against a
team that presses against us we need power to break through and press back, i saw pogba last night and he was miles above all the players on the
pitch, when he came on just ran the whole midfield on his own, wenger should blow all of his next summers budget signing pogba, even if it
takes everything we got the kid is the best young c / m in the world atm.

What that teaches us is this, one bad signing can destroy a
team season, Xhaka possesses none of the credential Arsenal need his lack of stamina effects his ability to move up the
pitch and distribute the ball and hence close the opposition down, his poor acceleration put him in at a massive disadvantage in
taking on the one on one chase back toward his goal, his sluggish tackling causes him to get sent off and his poor positioning allow the opposition plenty of space to exploit, Xhaka overall style of play is going to cause Arsenal huge problems for the foreseeable future.
That didn't quite work out on Tuesday because he looked exhausted and like he wasn't quite playing at 100 percent after the knock he

It wasn't as if the Czech goalkeeper
took the Polish shotstoppers place in the
team, because he'd already been in and out of the side due to inconsistencies on the
pitch and being in the spotlight off it.
even when he suffered a serious knee injury, instead of accepting the fact that he would never stick his legs into the spaces that were crucial for someone with straight ahead speed to succeed, the club actually contemplated giving him a chance to play up top where his lack of physicality, size and holding up play talents would been on display for all to see... these are not the actions of a club that really cares about winning at the highest levels, but they are the actions of a club that wasn't interested in spending the necessary resources to purchases a world - class striker, which is usually the most expensive position on the
pitch... instead we adopted the horrible phrase «like a new signing» and proceeded to allow this ridiculous experiment to carry on, which ultimately caused some discomfort on the training
pitch and inside the locker room as players battled for a position that shouldn't have been theirs for the
taking in the first place... don't get me wrong, I believe that Walcott is a talented player, who can help a
team reach their goals, if their goals are relatively modest... just look at the
teams who supposedly expressed interest in his services and they weren't the kind of clubs who aspire to win at the highest levels... as for the reasons why he hasn't been bitching and moaning about moving on just look at the wage benefits he receives from our club and his obvious desire to enjoy the societal advantages that come with playing in North London for a club with worldwide appeal... so instead of continuing to try to fix a coat with a broken zipper simply move on and buy a new and better coat

Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends of the
pitch, but they must have the ability to
take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many of the traditionally dominant
teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss of Cazorla, who
took a lot of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National
team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management
team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments of greatness undercut by long periods of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
