referring decisions also go in our favour, for instance that dortmund goal sanogo scored was clearly offside, these things are apart of football, GREAT teams overcome these obstacles, GREAT teams do not crumble with 3 or 4 goal leads, GREAT teams do not concede 3 + goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut chances to score, united have academy players in defence, in fact our defensive players are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have had an injury list just as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result, so why on earth are united in the title race and not arsenal?

now wengers absurd transfer policy «is down to you people»... seriously krish n`chips... the acolytes of the delusional one are beginning to sound even more of a parody than the master himself... walcott is a very very average player with one good season in 12 years at the club... the fact that wenger hasnt sold him is part of the sorry state of our club and the idea that this can be blamed on fans who want to see us back challenging for top trophies is frankly offensive
People keep using stats to defend him because that's the only way to defend him.When you watch him most at times you he hardly wows you or is any special.Can i ask a question couldn't Chamakh or Bendtner or Aliadiere score about 15 - 18 goals with this super super creative arsenal midfield.I mean lets be honest if Chamakh in his first season should have scored 20 goals in EPL many people would still want him out you know why because watching every aspect of his game and also analyzing every aspect of his game he was below average in his time at arsenal to be honest.So its not only about stats because stats do nt tell me the whole story about a player though they are facts and don't lie the eyes do nt lie.And with this same eyes we look at players and say Aguero is better thab Bony, Costa is better than Remy, and so on.
Loyalty is massively overrated in football.If footballers were so loyal why weren't they loyal to average teams for a very long time before moving?Mind you it's far more easier to be loyal to a top team.Most players get more credit than they deserve.
@john0711 I was asking of players worse than Giroud for Arsenal in terms of finishing.I consisered finishing only.Out of your list when all are in form you can argue that Walcott is better.But in terms of finishing he's the worst of that lot.Only Gervinho's finishing is worse.The guy doesn't deserve this club and so does many of our current players.Face reality he's odinary and if you were a manager and wanted success would you put in a # 30 bid for Giroud?Yet his stats suggest he may be worth # 30 showing the contradiction between stats and real life.The earlier we get some average players out of our club and stop defending the indefensible the better for us all.With this kind of mentality success will be far from this club.

Top class players earning only a little more than rubbish / average players make no sense in terms of: struggling to sell rubbish / average players because no one will match their ridiculous wages, contract renewals (as we're seeing with the likes Sanchez and Ozil, not to mention other top players who have left in the past), and in terms of attracting top quality players.
I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his team than any other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first team he tends to give you so many chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this season to label him as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see Arsenal as the top club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a good offer comes we should sell.
In his first four seasons as a major - leaguer, first with the New York Mets and since 1972 with the Expos, Foli managed to get into more fights with opposing players, umpires, and even his own teammates, and to hit more innocent bystanders with thrown helmets, bats and balls than the average high - spirited player might in a 20 - year careeIn his first four seasons as a major - leaguer, first with the New York Mets and since 1972 with the Expos, Foli managed to get into more fights with opposing players, umpires, and even his own teammates, and to hit more innocent bystanders with thrown helmets, bats and balls than the average high - spirited player might in a 20 - year careein a 20 - year career.
For that kind of money you'll be getting far more talented players.If you watch a lot of football you'll know this.He has age mates that are better than him but their not yet being talked about because some are in average teams and others are yet to be given a proper stage.Also, Monaco never wanted to sell Mbappe and Lemar this season.If Arsenal were interested in any other players we would have gotten them long ago.They might have even demanded more than # 80 if many clubs were interested and honestly speaking can you blame them?Is he the only talented winger that Arsenal are looking at?We have to spend money wisely and this ain't wise business.

Typically these periods in past few seasons has seen us chasing the top table team with average of 10 points, then comes our end of season charge which has seen us having more points than any other epl team in the final two months of the season over the past few years as well.This is mostly due to injuries plaguing key members our team around this period every year, apparently we've gone through our rough mid season patch again or might still be going through seeing as we have list some key players like carzola, bellerin to injuries again.

Its not often I read one of your comments Budd and nod my head in agreement but on this I have to say yu are 100 % on the money Afobe will MAYBE a to notch plyer one day but right now we didthe right thing letting him go, the only thing that I will say is that we have always let players go when the world asked why and on hindsight have been proven right, HOWEVER why have we had players like Diaby on the books when it was clear he would never ever be fit enough to fulfil his potential and why on earth have we currently got Sanogoals or Wellbeck on our books whe its obvious to all and their mothers that neither of these kids will ever be anything other than average squad players at best.

walcott campbell ox are average players at best and ramsey is out of position there and less than average as a winger... mahrez would be a big step up and i doubt we would have to pay 45... anyway selling two of those would rake most of it back... to be honest i would be happy (and shocked) with mahrez and icardi though still prefer the draxler option... having watched what guardiola has done with man city reserve team against bayern reserves yday wenger would be crazier than i thought if he believes he has a squad to compete in the coming epl / cl
I know Arsenal all too well and trust me we would've still lost.A lot of people think this Arsenal squad isn't good enough to win the league but I beg to differ.Give this same squad to Rafa Benitez or any world class manager even without any signing before the transfer window ends and watch us play like you've never seen before.The problem in this team has always been tactics, mentality and mismanagement.This is what has really been disturbing us for several seasons but alwas goes ignored.Mark my words that if Arsenal get everyone they're supposed to we're not winning the league if those three things aren't checked.We need signings but our problem is much bigger than signings.Give this same squad to Klopp or a too manager and you'd be shocked some players who were called average will be playing differently.You know why?Strong mentality, proper management and good tactics count.
In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat...

Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)...

Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger'In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat...

The deadwood???... as if they bought themselves and gave themselves chances on the pitch to proof how deadwood they are... interestingly arsenal is i can say the only top 10 club in Europe that has been having until maybe last season, more than half of the squad as deadwood players and then one if most two players that may be considered WC and the rest average... now i had my hopes up when we bought sanchez last season but arrrrkh, pee peee here comes welbeck (man utd's deadwood)..
He is an unbelievably average footballer on the level if players like Stuart downing anf should be playing in equivalent clubs... Not surprised allardyce picked him for England as he is a less than average football manager... The sooner we embed Perez in the first 11 the better our chances of moving ahead...
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
Well according to whoscored Giroud has never scored 20 goals and has never provided more than 8 assists in a season as an arsenal player and this is his 4th season with Arsenal so it is not true that he he averages 20 goals and 15 assists.
Players from the continent have proven time and again to be better than english players that's why the best players in England are not english, average english players like Berahino, Sterling, Kane etc are over priced their talent doesn't match their priPlayers from the continent have proven time and again to be better than english players that's why the best players in England are not english, average english players like Berahino, Sterling, Kane etc are over priced their talent doesn't match their priplayers that's why the best players in England are not english, average english players like Berahino, Sterling, Kane etc are over priced their talent doesn't match their priplayers in England are not english, average english players like Berahino, Sterling, Kane etc are over priced their talent doesn't match their priplayers like Berahino, Sterling, Kane etc are over priced their talent doesn't match their price tag!
That's fine other than the fact that some players and some positions push themselves allot more often than others do, like with a CB for a top nation, it's going to be allot less work than a midfielder playing in an average nation.
While both those players are frustrating, I find Ramsey to be the worse as I feel his best moments of his playing career was in those few months alongside Arteta and he was looking like a contender for POTY already then got injured, that period of time seen Ramsey put in more tackles per game than Arteta (on average I think it was 4.4), he was doing the defending and then taking the ball forward in attacks.
I'm sorry but the players and manager gets paid more in a week than the average citizens do in a lifetime.
Now it is Ben Yedder's time... I don't know what to say about this one, what I wan na ask is that, of all the unproven, average players in our team, is he better than them or they are on the same level?????
Well to a point they are right, maybe we are luckier than your average PL club, but then we are NOT your average PL club, we are charged the highest ticket prices of any club in the EPL for starter's and we are now apparently debt free and according to certain sources inside the clubs Hierarchy can buy any player we want, in short we are financially as big as any of our competition with regards to the ability to buy in top quality talent, and while we don't have the money to burn that Man city or Chelsea have we are in a position to spend more and spend it more often as long as there is a degree of prudence.
Everybody at the top of the White Sox lineup has contributed: At week's end leadoff man Tim Raines had a first - inning batting average of.389, Joey Cora had scored 21 runs, Frank Thomas had hit 10 homers (no other player had more than seven) and driven in 25 runs, and sometimes cleanup hitter Robin Ventura was batting a major league - high.511 (23 for 45) with 22 RBIs.
total failure... Can you believe Wenger spent 32 millions on 2 average players (Chambers and Welbeck) and is penny pinching when is sbout real class players?What is in his mind?Pay a fortune in salary for mediocre players live Walcott, Ramsey and Wilshere and have hesitations about increasing Sanchez wages... keeping on books failures like Sanogo... The truth is - I say it for years and years - until the «British core» disapears, we are not going to be succesful.The low quality of British players is dragging the team back.Last time Arsenal was a powerhouse NONE of the first 11 was British.Wanna see how the British quality looks like in a football team - look no further than national sides of England, Scotland, N Ireland, Wales, even Ireland (not British but same style)- all mediocre teams «able» to be defeated by any team coming to mind.And you are asking about Chambers?He is in the same mold like Wilshere,Walcott,Ox,Ramsey,Gibs,Jenkinson - mediocre overpriced and overpaid players.The world is full with hungry, ambitious and skilled players living in poverty and dreaming of moving to the top at any cost or sacrifice (did you see the poor house - if you can call that house, looking more like an old tent - in which Alexis Sanchez grew up?Or Suarez?)
see our team is good but never consistent, i will still blame Arsene, for buying average players, the likes of Elneny, Ramsey, Walcot, shouldnt be in our team, now Santi is getting old, needs replacement he can buy someone like James of madrid, look at walcot he's only deceiving us, the guy isn't good for our team, forget Euro or No 10 role, this is not Wales, its Arsenal, Ramsey loves his country more than Arsenal, he doesn't play with the same passion!
He is virtually ineffective against them, just about manages to pull of a string fairly average performances against «lesser sides», yet the cult following he's gained seem's to have convinced people than he is... Ill turn up at the emirates and sing «Na na Giroud», in appreciation for what he has done for the club so far and the fact he is an Arsenal player.
The only player to average more than three disciplinary points per game in the Telegraph's table.
I agree with you, we have more serious issues in our midfield than is talked about all players there are average, we need a decent addition and may be offload one because the problem is quality not quantity
I hope Xhaka is benched for yhis game.If's funny how people can ever think for a moment that Xhaka is better than Wilshere.Wilsherefor all his injuries and unrealised potential is twice the player Xhaka is and a level above Ramsey in technique, talent and ability.I didn't like how people used the Europa league maych to judgr him at all after he had shown world class performances in previous matches.I just don't get why people love Xhaka.People call Coquelin average but if played in his actual position and not this box - to - box or whatever he will defend brillianly and give it to his more reliable partner which quite unfortunately we don't havd at the moment.
for me wenger has more of average players than any other big clubs in the premier league
When Samuel commented on why it was wrong to sell Lucas Perez you brought up stats between Walcott and Perez and in that you proved using the stats why Walcott is better.If Wenger didn't have blond love for some of his players then why did he keep benching Perez when he was performing yet the average guys always got a look in the squad.So if there are stats which prove Walcott is better aren't there stats which also prove Perez is better?Think about that.You also said Perez is not as good as some of us make out.The funny thing is yesterday we had an argument on Giroud and I also tried to imply that Giroud is not as good as we make out and you opposed.You always kept bringing stats up to defend him.Do you know if Bendtner or Chamakh had scored 25 goals for Arsenal in any season they'd still have been regarded as average.You know why?Because quality has nothing to do with stats and is just a kind pf talent or state.It seems to me that you think you know it all.You also denied the fact that Wenger likes French players and that if Perez was French he wouldn't have been out in one season stating other players as examples.It seems to me that you deny things which are clear for everyone to see.If you think you know better than everyone go and teach Wenger how to win the trophy this season.
Finally, and to reiterate an earlier point, the way forward for this club is to stop paying below average bench players so much money and to focus the bulk of the weekly wages on establishing a dominant starting 11... this will require the club to eat some wages in order to ship some players out, get rid of any deadwood over the age of 21, develop a cutting edge scouting service and put your money where your mouth is for once... I would much rather have a starting 11 that was world - class and give some reasonably paid young blue - chippers playing time when injuries occur than have 2 or 3 world class players surrounded by a plethora of overpaid and underwhelming players... management would no longer be able to sell their half - baked plans to the fans under the guise of «winning now», which any intelligent fan knows is a crap - shoot at best, and instead create a a squad that provides hope for the present and the future... this is exactly the model that has been used by Barcelona, Real & Bayern, so it should be good enough for us... by the way, until Messi & Ronaldo re-signed just recently all 3 clubs weekly wages were on par with ours... think about that for a second or two
