There is something not right in the warm
ups as Ox fell down in the 4th min!
Not exact matches
Through the long night they cheerfully plied their task, stirring
up from the depths the live burning coals, and» basting» and turning the
ox as often
as was necessary.
If we are to let
Ox leave, we need an improvement, a player who will go straight into the starting 11
as we will remain with Iwobi
as the under study and Perez
as the back
up option.
JUST IN:
As I brought to you yesterday that Arsenal and Chelsea were close to agreeing a # 37.5 deal for Oxlade Chamberlain I can confirm that the deal is now done.Arsenal and Chelsea have agreed a # 37.5 deal for him.It's now
up to the
Ox to accept or reject them.
Ox, I think has not live
up to expectations considering the amount spent on him
as a youth.
That's
up to Wenger and Iwobi All regular players should get rest when needed and when possibl If needed Lucas can play on the left
as well
as Alexis and
Ox So, I am not too concerned
I do not think he deserves his wage and I am actually looking forward to the sale of The
Ox, unless he steps
up and earns his wage then I want him gone, we have kids with just
as much promise and they are not requesting # 100k plus a week.
That's why Walcott is asked to play
as a hold
up striker,
Ox is supposed to play off the shoulder of defenders, Podolski had to cover for Gibbs and rarely get in the box, Arteta had to cover the counter attack and pass sideways, and Gabriel has to be a slow, awkward white guy with great positioning.
At least the
Ox showed some intent and its good to see that he has fully recovered from his knee injury, hopefully he will have a good season,
as he definitely looks
up for it, wish I could say the same for Walcott.?
Ended
up with him being booed when he came on
as substitute, I think for
Ox.
He may now have found his calling
as a wing - back, but has Wenger left it too late to find a place for the
Ox in the starting line -
up?
West Ham, even though they were pretty poor today, did have chances to get back into the game and you feel that we would have struggled if they did get their tails
up but even when the doubts may have started after Carroll made it 3 - 1 they had no time to take hold
as the
Ox came
up with his stunner.
None of them even deserves to start, if i was the manager i would replace them with the
ox since walcot is back or may may be use Campbell
up front (the
ox's power and directness will be of great use
as a back to back midfielder)
obviously I would prefer to have a much more suitable alternative in the defensive midfielder positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots away in and around the top of the box with their most dominant feet... if goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for
OX and bring Ramsey in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more of a 3 -1-5-1 with Ramsey playing higher
up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud
as a sub when the game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team with incredible link -
up play and a much more direct approach in the offensive end
Walcott world class Ramsey to barca merts positional sense give
ox game time flamini doing a good job... Give me a break... All
as clueless
as wenger about what constitutes winning fball... sad fan base that has put
up with this sh @@ for so long
Nice line -
up, I'd prefer that 3 back line all day, except it will be Gabriel for mustafi, that's grit, steel, aggression and intelligence at our back line, but imagine monreal
as a CB when we have Gabriel, holding, I don't understand wenger Mustafi goes into tackles headlessly The front line and midfield is also super human, just dat Ozil is a pussy against aggressive and big teams, I'll prefer
ox or Wilshere or mahrez....
I hope Jack Wilshere stands
up tall just
as Walcott has done in
OX's absence.
A back
up left winger is a must too and Wenger should handle
Ox's case carefully
as he might end
up just be another ordinary player with bags of potential but cant live
up to it.
If we are set
up to play a more defensive game and counter, then
Ox is the obvious choice
as he's a one man counter-attack.
Walcott starts
up top & Coquelin along side Ramsey would be my 1 suggestion, and
Ox starts out RW
as that goal might just spurr him on
as we know he has something, not working Joel on 60m or so!
Ox — until this year I would have said he was another Wenger failed project... that being said, he still only showed us some inklings of the things we thought he would start bringing a couple of years ago... liked his role
as a wing - back in the 3 - back system but his moping around and general demeanor about not being sure if he liked this new role was a little off - putting considering how long we have waited for him to show
up... I wouldn't hesitate to sell if the right number was offered but probably not to a top 8 team
Podolski, Rosicky, ryo should all make way for rues this way we ain't blocking younger wide men like Campbell and
ox by signing rues
as ox can then take
up Rosicky role centrally
My line
up would be... ------------ Ospina ------------ Bellerin --- Mert --- Hayden — Gibbo -------- Diaby ---- Ramsey -------
Ox --------- Rosicky -------- Santi ------------ Sanogo ------------ I chose Sanogo because he is our 2nd choice striker
as of now and we cant really bench him too much..
If wneger wasn, t 100 % sure on letting the
ox go why would he make any statement about him moving on, then two good bids come in and the club take a desiscion to move him on knowing that iwobi can step
up as a straight winger or kolisnica
as a wing back.
he is amazing picking
up balls in midfield and dribbling past two or three player but then his finishing lets him down If he could only learn to pass he would be amazing, he must remeber Arsenal plays
as a team and
Ox looks the lonely wolf
He can do those other things pretty well too, don't get me wrong, it's just that while he is big and strong
as an
ox, Ellis isn't exactly athletic enough to be
as impactful when he's head -
up on an offensive tackle
as he can be on a center.
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
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)
With Walcott's form ever inconsistent and The
Ox's injury concerns every season, it would be no surprise to see that Wenger play Lucas on the wing, rather than
as a conditional striker
up front.
Jeff Reine - Adelaide has been told he is playing and he will be lining
up alongside Iwobi and The
Ox up front, with Lucas given his first start of the season
as centre - forward, with Giroud on the bench...
OX should be on the right If Giroud is
up front Walcott can be on the right But when
OX and Walcott are healthy, Ramsey should not play on the right Ramsey isn't a RW specialist like
OX and Walcott Ramsey is best
as B2B (Although Cazorla should be 1st choice)
I would like to see a player come in who can do the job of a Right sided AM consistantly,
Ox can step
up as well
as Gnabry but neither one can be expected
as both have had injurie issues recently.
The
OX certainly can play there
as can Walcott (with Giroud going
up front).
Futhermore, theo is different frm all our attackers, he gives us something diffrnt, he has rarely played this season yet he has scored
as many
as our «hardworking
ox» has scored all season, he assists more than any other winger in epl, the keep talk shit abt theo tracking back, the fact is, theo doesn't need to track back, when he plays, opposing fullbacks rarely push
up field becus they are scared of his pace, so that leaves our fullback one on one with their winger, now, does our fullback need help frm theo to mark his man??? Only if that winger is Messi, Ronaldo or Robben, if they not either of those three and our fullback can not handle them, then he is not good enough for arsenal!
I like both Welbeck and Lucas but don't really understand why we got them
as Welbeck wasn't an improvement and Lucas was a gamble because he is 28 and only 1 good season (also he hardly starts even though he has performed well) we should have got a WC Forward in past few years Now we have: Alexis, Giroud, Welbeck, Lucas, Iwobi,
Ox, Walcott, Akpom, Sanogo, Campbell We are collecting average to good players (except Alexis who is WC) In order to get another WC forward we need to get rid of a few of the above for funds and clear
up wages.
Campbell rather than the
Ox as Ox can be a super sub, Campbell is better defensivly and
as such I would want that to help press higher
up the pitch.
and thier injuries need to be manage better maybe less playing time for some than others, unfortunately wenger cant afford to give them the proper time of his coaching,
as he is under massive pressure to succeed these days and hasn't got time to train them
up properly, also he isn't tactically flexible enough to accommodate them into different attacking systems, to test what they can do like having the
ox in a 3 man midfield could work wonders.
If we are one nill
up, then we must through Walcott in plave of
OX as he is sustaining an injury.Then Flamini in place Cazorla
as he needs rest.
And when you look back at the last decade, none of those youngsters have progressed in the way that they were hyped
up to and yes I'm talking about the likes of Ramsey, Walcott, Jack Wheelchair and the
Ox who all had a one season wonder of some sort, during one point in their Arsenal careers, thus far and We can't keep using this excuse for not buying ready made quality, which would instantly improve our chances of winning a major trophy or two, but No, Wenger wants to stick with a theory which clearly isn't working for us on the pitch, but he doesn't really care,
as long
as it works out well for saving the penny's and the pounds, in the place where it matters most for Arsenal fc, in the bank.
Walcott needs to run back to help the D or else Wenger should start
OX as a regular or give a freak chance to Campbell cuz I know for sure if they both play 90 minutes they will run
up and down till the end!
They won't... Just have to, play the best available 11 at least in first 45
as a warm
up to Friday... So would try
ox or Iwobi
as the b2b midfielder
as Ramsey or elneny are bench quality at best
wasn't this the same pathetic line -
up (
as outlined in the article) that started against barca (save for the
Ox)??
The full extent of the injury picked
up by the Arsenal and England international midfielder Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain is yet to be found out,
as the 22 - year old is due to have further tests today but after the initial assessment of him yesterday it is not looking too promising for the
Ox.
He gave 10 plus years of opportunities to the likes of walcott, same
as gibbs, 8 to ramsey and wilshere and 6 to
Ox but still not
up to the calibre expected but a guy who is humble and show us his qualities asked to leave.
plus it would free
up walcott to be the c / f he always wanted to be, also the
ox's fitness can be a concern not
as bad if he doesn't play all the games next season, and gnabry will need to be bedded in slowly next season too.
(when even Koscielny starts to dribble
up front to make a pass, or when we have 8 + players outside their box passing side to side)- if no walcott or
Ox, flanks are almost ignored
as an option for attacking.
Before the season started I must admit I wanted to see some players gone, and
Ox, I would have named high
up on that list, not
as high
as Theo, but definitely
up there.
Personally I think that
as back
up to Hector we should use Reiss Nelson who has looked better in pre-seaon than the
Ox.
1) GK — better 2) LB — same, possibly better if Gibbs improves, Monreal has plateaued 3) RB — better
as Bellerin will only improve 4) CB first pairing — same,
as the BFG is getting older but he can't get shorter or slower, 5) CB second pairing — better since we didn't have a pair last year 6) DM — better
as Arteta is now back
up and Coquelin should get even better 7) Box to box — better if you think Ramsey and Wilshire still have room to improve and are still being kept out by Carloza 8) LW — better, Sanchez might not get too much better but Welbeck is an improvement on Podolski 9) RW — same if Theo moves
up front but
Ox and Gnabry have lots of room to improve 10) CAM — same 11) Striker — better
as Giroud / Theo is stronger than Giroud / Sanogo
as he's capable of playing across the front three) for him so he could have a proper rest (and pls dn't mention
OX as back -
up)
