If the point of religion is to bring peace and guide a culture toward certain specific behaviors, primarily for order and the preservation of the good qualities of society, then how can one say that one religion is better than another or that a «religion-less» person who STILL acts the SAME way (i.e. does right unto their neighbors, lives according to the thing the bible suggests) but is more tolerant is not as high quality a citizen as another who is associated with a Major League Religious Team?

Its looking like he is building a new team I support Mr wenger why sell sachez now for 40 million while his replacement will cost us 80 million we need to get players of good quality first and then we can let go and I am sure if a club comes in with 80 million for sanchez Mr wenger will go for it savilla keep the ball well and circulates the ball well so many back passes to retain position they play a shape of 3331 and very close there was no gaps and they were not afraid to dig in to our players I must admit i like their system....

If we start this season with those two in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one of these players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this team for a number of years... this is what I call the «no man's land» of the soccer world, where teams don't have enough talented young players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management team becomes little more than a stagnant group of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard of a team who plays players out of position so often... of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team of any consequence ever again

A treble in his first season at Barcelona and another Champions League in just his first three seasons in management was a remarkable achievement, no question, and if anything his struggles at Bayern show that one can not simply inherit a good set of players and let them do the rest, but while he revolutionised the game in 2009, he is now being found out and it is something of a surprise that he has no other European Cup to his name since 2011 given the quality of teams he's had at his disposal since then.

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... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... 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)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... 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's)

Big in your list I can agree that all these players would improve us, but let's look at our CB At the moment Kos, top player but is struggling with a inj which may or may not heal, at the moment he isn't match fit so not up to his own high standard, so needs help or a defender of his quality so he can go and recover properly So then we have Mert, too slow and no longer good enough, I'm not sure if he's even good enough for 3 rd choice CB, too slow, poor on the air for his size and not brave enough, he's lasted this long due to Kos he needs a Top class CB just to allow him to play against average teams Ok now Reid not top class we can all agree so we couldn't really play him with MERT as he isn't Kos quality so can't cover merits deficiencys He could be ok with Kos but Kos is struggling So is Reid what we need???? And finally Wenger if he has all 3 fit will still play Kos / Mert first choice Oh and God forbid we play MERT / Reid against the top teams like Chels / city / utd / Southampton Chuckle chuckle

He was actually the only England player voted into the World All Star team during England 2002 WC campaign... To put it into perspective he is rated as highly then as the Gerard Pique and Mats Hummels of today...

This performance really does show that Arsene Wenger needs to get his coat and f@ck off!!!! Start your game with your strongest squad and then swap the players when your in front Giroud was not worth a pot of cold p!ss, Sanchez who clearly lifts the team was sitting on the bench for half the game I mean WTF????? surely anyone who doubts that Wenger has had his day has had proof positive that it's time to go Just shows what the team is like without sanchez We are sh!t and it's not about the quality of the players it's Thier manager and Thier attitude Its a total disgrace

But they'll weaken the team by selling their best players and then buy few good players (usually of lesser quality than the ones they sold) who kinda strengthen the weakened team....

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

if something had of happened which stopped Fergie from recycling his team with like for like quality, in the periods he mentioned, well then the same thing would likely have happened to him.

Crystal palace, Leicester, QPR, Newcastle etc all stepped up their pressing games and we were all over the place, having more quality individual players gets us out of problems, but when we come up against teams on somewhat our level or better then us we mostly lose or draw at best.

it's the intensity movement and work rate of all players inc messi... If u want to play a passing game these are essential qualities and we came close with the 07 - 08 team and then just a string of dumb purchases and sales and fixation with so called home grown talent who were way below standard with bendtner the king of them all....

DI MARIA and loan cb and cdm this season then buy proper young cdm and cb next season with them hopeful REUS as well then from they that 8 yrs of taking a real short at the ucl and epl, other wise looking at other top teams right now you cant blame someone how things that until the club puts fans first before players [the b2b, cbm, lw, rw and lb should be sorted comparing to other team's quality.

I honestly do not think Wenger has much more to offer us, his best years are behind him but then I want to take solace in the appointment of Henry as assistant coach to the u18s and see that as Wenger's imminent exit strategy; I mean if we look at the volume of transfer activities in the last couple of seasons in and out of our youth teams and the quality of the signings, it's been a bit strange, for good example, Chelsea baulked at the size of Donyell Malen's wages [at 3.6 million pounds over three years] but Arsenal of all clubs, oddly so signed him up.

«I have no delusions of grandeur, but I would like to be a quality - control coach [an assistant who analyzes tendencies of his own team's offense and the opposition's defense], then a quarterbacks coach or wide receivers coach, and then hopefully an offensive coordinator and head coach.

Had it not been for the poor quality control that left the team lacking in places like Malaysia and Japan, or the physical metaphor of Vettel's title bid imploding in Singapore, then Ferrari would have had the legs to fight Hamilton to the bitter end in Abu Dhabi.

Well im not in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the time although were terrible in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads in the first 60 minutes like we have for the most part and in those games those games should of been killed even if we give a goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality in front goal a player the chances have been there im looking at the failure of the strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many goals recently as our strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one in th first 60 mins of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this season not the tactics but the finishing

Then he must show that he wants to challenge in the summer by first getting rid of the deadwood (Flamini, Mertesacker, Ryo, Campbell, Podolski, diaby)... loan out future prospects (Sanogo, Gnarbry, Akpom, Hayden etc) and bring in quality palyers to replace the needed positions (CB, DM, LW, ST)... after this he and his fitness and medical team must show that they have improved the injury crisis that we have... then finally he must show that he can motvate and rotate his squad well and tactically outclass our opponents with good squad selection and game pThen he must show that he wants to challenge in the summer by first getting rid of the deadwood (Flamini, Mertesacker, Ryo, Campbell, Podolski, diaby)... loan out future prospects (Sanogo, Gnarbry, Akpom, Hayden etc) and bring in quality palyers to replace the needed positions (CB, DM, LW, ST)... after this he and his fitness and medical team must show that they have improved the injury crisis that we have... then finally he must show that he can motvate and rotate his squad well and tactically outclass our opponents with good squad selection and game pthen finally he must show that he can motvate and rotate his squad well and tactically outclass our opponents with good squad selection and game plan.

as wih just about every season for last 10 years we have a team that is a couple of real quality players short of challenging on three fronts for top honours... so if wenger is willing to get rid of mert flamini arteta diaby and walcott (and possibly gibbs who is begining to really disappoint but perhaps worth another season) and bring in three quality players cb dm and attacker i will change my mind and give him a chance till end of contract... if its another round of bargain basement players with potential and talk of getting in to cl as like a trophy... then yes he needs to go

Throw in the likes of quality internationals Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and, if he stays, Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain, then Wilshere has a massive fight to feature on the team sheet.

the media have alot to do with managers loosing their jobs and as paranoid as that sounds you can't help but think that they have had no such success with wenger.if arseanl had no champions league football it would a dream come true because then and only then would it be a sign of a team loosing their way because they lack some imaginary quality that other teams have.

we have become so reliant upon one individual to run the whole operation that our once relevant scouting department has become so stagnant that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once... when this occurs the management team, who by this juncture is little more than a congregation of spefically chosen «yes» men, making it incredibly difficult for new ideas to emerge and / or transfers / contract renegotiations to be dealt with in a timely and effective manner... so instead of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard of a team who plays players out of position so often... of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team of any consequence ever again

If Wenger kept replacing the squad with the same quality like Chelsea and Man City do then how would future players like Sanogo, Santos, Amaury Bischoff, Park, Chamakh get a chance in the 1st team ahead of players from the Henry era.

I think we all know the fact about Olivier Giroud not been a reliable striker that can save us whenever we nEed him, also jack might easily pick up injuries from his styles of play and ramsey sometimes just get confuse on his position,, Arsenal really need to pick up a quality striker just like Vargas from chile national team and a better Dm to support Le Coq, then we good to go for the league, COYG love u all Dude!!

Its very tough and we are very poor in terms of quality and if yoy think laca and kolasinac are enough then i just say judge the team honestly.

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...

If teams have any doubt right now that this is the way to go to give your rookie QB the best chance to be a quality starting QB in the NFL, then Patrick Mahomes will put all of those doubts to rest this season.

Gibbs I agree isn't a starter but as a back up he's more then good enough The position we really need to worry about us right back were relying on a 20 yr old who yes is quality but it's asking a lot of him esp when / if he gets injured, even when debuchy took over from sagna in french team I didn't rate him then I dint rate him now average at best.

Minus some flashes from both Sead and Iwobi, and a workingman - like effort from Elneny, we learned very little... so here are a few of my observations from today's game, which highlight my concerns about this team moving forward... the fact that Mertz started this game, regardless of our injuries or those being «rested», should be a serious red flag for any true Arsenal fan... if Wenger is preparing to use Mertz with any regularity then the whole thing is a moot point because we are in deep shit... the fact is no quality team would ever have this tin soldier anywhere near there starting eleven except to groom their youthful players, who in turn should be playing in this type of game instead... I can only hope he was simply throwing him a bone for the FA appearance and for agreeing to stay on following the season, but I think the most likely answer is that Wenger's fragile relationship with the fan - base can't be ignored so he felt his experience was a safer bet... unfortunately not a positive choice for a team trying to move forward (same old, same old)

Look at the other top teams Chelsea are miles ahead of us in quality and squad depth, how many of our players would make their team, possibly Kos and Sanchez at most Man City are the same And even if you look at UTD Di Maria wow total quality, Falco quality, then you have Rooney and I love welbeck attitude but why are we buying our competitors 3/4 choice players and then they become our first choice.

If we could get another of similar quality well then yeah, but if it's a case of us keeping what we have or getting just another good to very good at times, well then I'd prefer Reus, and I'd try giving him protection by leaving him out against certain teams.

look man i understand that you say ozil in the middle means no protection or less than adequate but ozil will be CAM and he is close to scoring a tap - in rather than giving shield to arteta who is an unreliable source and does not deserve the captaincy, wenger only gave it to him cause he gave the players some papering over the cracks statements after the Liverpool, chelsea and man city match and the player does not even have a cap for the national team Wenger may have seen this as a player who can play in and out with no internationals regardless of his qualities on the pitch and the main reason why he sold vermaelen who would have done decent job at CDM and then all that fluid style that arsene thinks he can play dictate «arrogance»!

I like how little sense this article made, u undermine ozil saying he was poor then say we will miss ozils creativity, fact is if the team has no spine (Quality hardworking defensive minded players) everyones gonna look poor, if a player lacks versatility and u yet decide to play him out of position x1000 where it does nt work, then he is going to look poor, if wilshere isn't fkn sure whether to replicate andrea pirlo / alonso as a Dm or fkn Yaya toure as a box to box OR fkn david silva / iniesta as CAM then guess what?

Arsenal's squads since then have lacked the sort of quality expected from a club which saw their team go unbeaten for 49 league games in 2004.

Almunia has become a top - quality goalkeeper and as long as he stays fit then this area of the team is looking good.

We all knew we wouldn't get anything from this game.The venue tight ground, in London, more importantly the effect of the Norwich result.It seems to me now that our season could be determined by one player.Benik Afobe.He showed enough to warrant a start, Reading would be a great platform.We desperately need him to show the quality we know he has.With the predicted further 3 loses to come, this is going down to the wire.NES attitude has always been about his team, the system, style with little regard to the opposition, so it's too late for change, we have to carry on and hope that it will be enough.I saw a great tactic used in Spain, that would suit Costa or Cavellerio, who get frequently caught offside.That is for one of them to stay offside, as long as they are not involved in the first phase of play, then they are brought into the 2nd phase, with defenders tracking back, they have the advantage.Mind you it was Barcelona and Messi!!

If the end result is a better analysis of the quality of teams and thus a better system of admitting teams to the tournament, then I have to give the whole thing a thumbs up.

If Payet played in a team with a better quality of finishing then it is safe to say that his assist tally would be much higher than it currently is.

«If we avoid games like that and if we keep winning and putting points on then I think the quality and experience of the team to challenge for the title.

He lacks experience at the highest level, with only one Champions League final appearance and two Bundesliga titles to his name when compared to say Mourinho and Guardiola; and it is one thing competing with Jupp Heynckes, and then Guardiola one at a time, but competing with Mourinho, Conte, Guardiola, Wenger and Pochettino simultaneously, whilst they have squad depth and quality that makes a mockery of Liverpool's, and an inability on Liverpool's behalf to secure players that will improve the team to the level of the competitors makes the challenge of top four a remote one, and the ultimate challenge of returning Liverpool to the highest level in English and European football minuscule.

To see if these qualities could be applied to forensics, his team swabbed several computer keyboards and the fingertips of their users, then identified about 1400 different kinds of bacteria living on each, using DNA sequencing.

The research team, which included members from the University of Bern in Switzerland, tested their algorithm by taking high - quality, uncorrupted images, purposely introducing severe degradations, then using the algorithm to repair the damage.
