Not only is the game a great Puzzle / Platformer, but it uses an open world concept that allows you to go anywhere
you want at any time in the game.
Not exact matches
It's hearty and everything you'd
want to indulge
in during a football
game, but the flavors are super fresh
at the same
time.
Concerning chelsea, I think we just need to be clinical
in recent years we always create chances against them buh we are not ruthless enough.IMo, Cazorla is our most complete number 10, but I
want him and Ozil to feature
in this
game and
at d same
time I don't
want ozil or ramsey on the wings.whichever way the manager sets d team up, I jus
want a win against Mourinho.coyg!!
i don't get it, he claims it's about money but
game time and
wanting to play
in midfield, but he won't get more
game time at chelsea and conte will use him as a WB just like wenger.
3 months is looked
at per minimum it take more than six months for a bone to heal some very minor muscle will take 3 months a serious injury which takes 8 months and more + rehabilitation while a player is rehabilitating other injuries my form a direct result of being constrained where muscles freeze you are not playing for 8 months you cant expect the muscles to be up and running straight away players how ever
want to play because of all sort of reasons one being replaced so it hampers with their full recovery hence having players regularly
in the treating room but take it from me some
times you are perfect you just get back bang someone heavy dose your ankle
in so you are back
in out off playing
time I personally got very angry because my knee was ok so went back out to come back
in after one
game with ankle problem after a couple of weeks i will go back out I have no guarantees that some one wouldn't go heavy on me or me injuring myself going heavy on someone else its football thats the way it is if it is not a medallion for the cabinet its a leg medallion
As a team we look very weak, Our midfield have no bite to them as we keep buying little fancy players but they are no good
at tackling and getting stuck
in, Santi for me this year do nt
want to play maybe he is looking for a move!!!! Jack
in in and out of
games he is so inconsistanat, Arteta past his best and needs to be replaced, Wenger needs to look
at the
time and improve it, Last year we got Ozil this year we got Alexis but we are not using them to there full potental, Ransey is class but we can keep hoping for is magic to get us out of shit, Giroud for me is a waste of
time we need a top top forward he battles away but he is far below the class we need,
Everyone
wants to see perfect pitches
at all
times when they go to watch professionals, but when I was young I remember watching many
games played
in thick mud (and played
in them myself) which made for soft landings most of the winter.
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.
It's just not the most far - fetched thing
in the world for a GM to really and truly
want a player to play the biggest
game of their life
at a
time when they're feeling good about their performance.
This is simple a very intelligent child can solve this problem.Firstly today our keeper was very poor however i know he will come good.By the way why is Paulista no getting his chance.What i have observed about arsenal since we signed Mertesacker from day one and since he started playing is that Mertesacker hardly gets involved you will usually see him a few
times because he does not
want to get caught out.e has always been a weak link
in the defence even
in his greatest performances here.When i see us playing with a high line and he is there i always laugh.It is just a mistake waiting to happen and i can tell u that it will happen again this season.Secondly why is Ramsey Cazorla and Ozil playing
in the same line - up
in a 4 -5-1 formation.That is just not right though it will win you some matches due to individual brilliance.It wont work
at all.Lastly the least i say about Giroud the better i am not judging him on one game.One would imagine if he was not french and like chinese will he be getting these chances under Wenger.To me he will always be an average player and i will stand by my word even if he has good
games.
But I guess they
wanted to balance the pairings... They'll probably split the ice
time evenly
at 5 on 5, and when / if the
game is tight
in the 3rd, they'll go back to the regular top 4.
YES we can there is a team spirit (when it come to the EPL)
in that changing room that we
want this you can see the drive / hunger / passion We just need to take it a
game at a
time and hold out till Jan when we will have more of the squad back so we can rotate better.
i can not see how making offers with a three day
time limit would result
in us signing any top players and
at the moment vardy is a top player, this season he has broken the PL record for scoring
in consecutive
games and his 24 goals have fired leicester to the PL title, and that is why we
want to sign him.
imagine his
game kicks back into life i guarantee u guys will get over it... i hate the fact he left us fr ManU bt he
wanted the league
at a
time when he wasnt sure hw muchh he had left
in the tank..
Merl Ross, who had been the Iowa State athletic department business manager
at the
time of the incident, said
in 1989, when he was 91 years old, that Minnesota players
wanted Trice out of the
game because he was black.
Matches like these happen all the
time in football so excuse me for
wanting to look
at the positive aspect and looking forward to our next
game rather than moan about Wenger and complain.
I strongly believe he should / will be given another season
at least to show what he can do albeit
in a different role to which he
wants... he will have ro reinvent himself and learn to play and score from the wings because to be perfectly frank he had more than enough
time and
games to show he can top strike for us when he first joined and Giroud was out Injured and he was less than impressive goals wise.....
If people really
want to go to town on his 8 goals
in first season, signed on dead - line day, no pre-season, played centrally for only a small number of
games (14
in fact) then they should
at least keep it
in context; look
at the first season or comparable age scoring from some of their other heroes like Kanu, Eduardo, Wiltord, Adebayor and RvP — they certainly were not ripping up trees and played centrally all the
time.
I mean it's a scrimmage,
at the end of the day it's for the fans and we just
want to kind of make it fun for them and make some crazy plays
at the same
time that we probably wouldn't do
in a real
game.
«They need to win the
game to make it interesting, but
at the same
time they don't
want to get caught out
in the first half - hour of the match, because when Chelsea go
in front, they don't lose.»
Let's face it goalkeepers tend to march to the beat of a different drum and Szczesny certainly fell into that category, but most of his antics were relatively harmless and simply reflected a certain level of immaturity that isn't uncommon for someone thrust into the limelight
at such a young age... lord knows we've seen that happen with numerous players throughout the years and very few were ever banished for such behaviour... the only on - field action that drove me crazy was his inability to take a deep breath and not try to rush the play with an ill -
timed throw
at certain points
in the
game when common sense suggested holding the ball and slowing things down... the fact that he continued to do this probably had a lot to do with the glaring lack of coaching
time spent with the goalkeepers... ultimately he made the fateful decision to take his frustrations out into the public sphere and paid dearly for it...
in the end, his services were
wanted by several of the best Italian squads, which is significant considering the historical importance placed on the defensive side of the ball
in Serie A... all I know is that if someone asked me to pick the most athletically gifted goalkeeper we have had
in our squad since the arrival of Wenger, without hesitation, he would be my pick and for that reason his departure is more than a little disappointing... what else is new though
At half -
time, the
game could have been over with the chances we created, overall we pay that
in the first
game we did not produce the performance we
wanted.
They have a shelf life of 8/10 years
at the very top if they are lucky so who can begrudge them the opportunity to make hay whilst the sun is shining... am not saying Sanchez is not money driven but the way the guy plays i can mortgage my life he actually enjoys the
game, enjoys wining first and foremost then money comes 2nd... like the author of the article rightly pointed out, he was
in Messi's shadow
at Barca and could not express himself fully, now he is
at a club where he is the main man and given a free role and license to express himself and i very much doubt if he will
want to go to a club like Madrid (as been rumoured
in the dailies today) to relieve the bad experience he suffered
at Barca because let us face facts, he is never going to displace CR7 as the main man, so even if Madrid sells Benzema or Bale to make room for him he will be back to the same position he was
at Barca, this
time he will be playing 2nd fiddle to CR7 so my guess is all the Madrid talks is been fed the press by his agents to drive a hard bargain when contract extension talks resumes.....
Crooks evidently just
wants to see the trio more often but decided to blast Mourinho
at the same
time, and he might
want to do his research next
time as these three have started 11
games together and
in the five Premier League
games of those 11, United have drawn four and lost one.
Likewise a quality player like Lemar could also recognise this and sign for Arsenal not to mention that Arsenal can guarantee these players regular
game time, starting line up and make them first choice players
at a
time where they
want to impress and get places
in their national sides for the World Cup.
I sincerely
want us to sign higuain, he's learnt aw tu play
in italy which means he's learnt to b physical
in his
game coupled wit d sleek style of play
at madrid, he has al d elements tu succeed
in d epl, he's played
in two diff leaque nd has bin successful fo me, so wenger sign higuain he's more proven across two major leaques dan any oda striker available
in europe, we need a striker dat can hit d ground runnin immediately nt d one dat wil need
time tu adapt.
For the next
game i
want to see Wilsher
in the team and Ramsey this
time at the bench.
i understand not
wanting to change anything
at half
time but
in the second half the manager like so many
games i have seen
in the past just seemed to hope for the best.
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this club even worse than
at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't
want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it
in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets
in the World... they
want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the
time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun
in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely
games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than
at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile
in recent years is out of utter frustration...
in order for any real change to occur
at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's
time to focus on the head instead of the heart for now
Wrong mate... the last
time we beat them was 2010 I think Ramsey 1 - 0
at the emirates, I think this
game is massive, whoever wins will finish 3rd imo (not that we
want to finish 3rd and I know it's early but it's all that's left for us domestically this season imo) we are the arsenal we need to step up and put a performance
in, last thing everyone going to the
game on Saturday please try to make the atmosphere as passionate and hostile for utd as possible we need to get behind the lads... COYG
«
At half -
time I felt we were
in the
game and
in the second half we
wanted to improve, we
wanted to play to win the
game.
If we don't beat Leicester under lites opening day Friday night my god wenger be under it we need great start
at home we need put Leicester to da sword think we Gita go stoke and anfield after that tough
games but if we
wan na do sum thing let's pick up atleast7 Pts from 9 or put down early statement and beat Liverpool pls be prepared this
time» media have field day if we don't beat vardy I pray we bring
in one big name to lift us for battle we need it
As a team we look very weak, Our midfield have no bite to them as we keep buying little fancy players but they are no good
at takling and getting stuck
in, Santi for me this year do nt
want to play maybe he is looking for a move!!!! Jack
in in and out of
games he is so inconsistanat, Arteta past his best and needs to be replaced, Wenger needs to look
at the
time and improve it, Last year we got Ozil this year we got Alexis but we are not using them to there full potental, Ransey is class but we can keep hoping for is magic to get us out of shit, Giroud for me is a waste of
time we need a top top forward he battles away but he is far below the class we need,
I do nt know why im so disappointed i keep thinking every window he will do it splash big bring back the old days and especially this window with all the abuse he had got last season but no did nothing im the fool for getting my hopes up again you would think id learn by now, if we did pull off lemar and kept sanchez after buying lacazette and kolasanic id be delighted but keeping an unhappy sanchez isnt good hopefully some forgien club will come
in for him
in January but what happened
at Liverpool was a disgrace i cant take any more its ruining my mood im depressed
in disbelief
at how stupid and soft centred we were making the exact same mistakes for 8 or 9 yrs ground hog day i cant cope we have leaked 8 goals
in 3
games very worrying and the clown wont even play kolasanic i
wanted wenger to spend big go out
in a blaze of glory
in 2 yrs
time but this is embarrassing to me it looks like a money racket and we are the fools
We still lost away to Chelsea, lucky to leave Anfield with a point, Spurs took 4 points off of us, Utd beat us
AT HOME and I have know idea who's turning up at Old Trafford... I feel now we REALLY need to hold unto 3rd and most importantly the players shouldn't be forgotten either, they get paid more than most people will see in their lifetime... The should be performing at the highest level on a constant basis but sadly they haven't either at least in the games that really count... I love Arsenal but something has to give in order for is to proceed and I want to see that Arsenal again at least one last time.

Ajax do not
want him on loan.He is bashed too much and i think he should leave to ajax.He may be error prone but has done his best
in having to be behind some terrible defending over the years.I admire his bravery.He was 19 years when he played his first
game and to me its just a matter of
time before he becomes world class.The defence barely helped him
in his first and second season here to be honest and he also did not help himself by making a lot of mistakes.But i believe that Szczesny will be a legendary keeper one day.He just has that kind of something i do nt know but something about him makes me feel he can be so good.He should just leave and rebuild his career
at Ajax if possible.He should know that he has the potential and by getting his head
in the
game and focusing the sky will be the limit.
Shezn warmed up
at half
time with no gloves on juggling balls he really takes the
game serious Walcott swapped shirts
at full
time and when given stick by fans gestured that he isn't bothered I can't stand Ferguson or Maureen as people but as managers they struck fear into the TOP players, they know if they don't perform they get replaced Goroud miss
at least 3 sitters 8 yards or closer, the Monaco fans were chanting his name after he went off, how low have we become The ground is so quiet even
in big
games we chant 1 - 2 songs usually Arsenal, Arsenal The stewards will throw out fans with winger out banners but allow away fans to incite hate
in the ground and do nothing Yesterday was my worst visit to the stadium
in yearsm treated like crap, players who don't even
want to work hard or players below standard
like I've said before, Wenger is simply stating that Sanchez is staying so that he can regain some leverage when it comes
time to make a deal and to shift the focus back squarely on Sanchez... this is 101 tactics
in PR management... the very fact that he even mentioned RVP's name speaks to the utterance arrogance of a man that believes he answers to no one... before you harshly judge Sanchez think carefully about what the ultimate intentions of both parties involved... Sanchez
wants to win trophies and get paid generously for his efforts, whereas the club
wants to pull the wool over our eyes once again so that we blame the player for
wanting the very things we told him we
wanted when we brought him
in... how many
times do we have to go down this road before we realize the only common factor
in each of these scenarios is the club itself... trust me, if we showed any ambition Sanchez's contract demands would be much different... just like
in other major sports players will take a «home town» discount if they see those
in charge making a truly honest attempt to fight for the highest honours
in their respective fields... that being said, if they see a team trying to make disparaging remarks about them
in the press and not following through on their promises, they will likely try to make them pay a premium for their services or seek greener pastures... btw if anyone simply looks
at the score versus Bayern today and thinks that even for a second that this was a deserved victory, just watch the
game and judge for yourself... actually save yourself the anguish and just know that if it weren't for Cech and Martinez this could have been a repeat of our Champions League flopping or worse
Delly Alli score more goals
in one season than Wiltshire
in is entire arsenal career and he earn 4th
times less than Wiltshire, the same goes to Ox, that tells you about our so called prima donas (English core) Ox score one goal
in 17th
games he
wants his wages double, Wiltshire almost a season out and he
wants 120.000 a week, Ramsey agents keep spreading news that mighty Barcelona
want to sign him the question is were he will be playing
at Barcelona?
Liverpool
at home will always
want to start fast and get control of a
game but this could be the perfect
time to go there and Arsenal could be
in the perfect form and frame of mind to beat them
at their own
game.
Critics should not just come for the sake of it, am one of gooners who has felt its
time Wenger packed his memory off the emirates as a Manager some five years ago, but of recent we have seen some tremendous improvements from tactical point of view of the
game to player management,
in fact I swallowed my words when I saw Moyes leap flogging the biggest team
in EPL and yet many Arsenal
wanted him
at Emirates to replace the Prof.. We can not down play the improvements of most of teams
in the EPL ladder, Southampton, West Ham, Swansea, Liverpool, Spurs for the past two years.
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 wa

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

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 wa
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...

at the striker position falls once again squarely

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...
We don't
want any prodigal son
in our team, I strongly believe Lucas Perez will be better
at he's position if giving
game time cause he has no
time for those silly leg overs Sanchez does and often looses d ball always.
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS on an article about Chambers
at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one from management has ever explained why such a frugal club spent so much money on him
in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for players who could have a monumental impact on the very future of our club but somehow we found $ 16 million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't get me wrong, I like what he showed
at times last season
in Middlesbourogh but from the handful of
games I watched him play I still have some serious questions about his consistency as a back - line player
in the EPL; as such he should prove himself on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that
wants him
in the starting 11... bottom line, let's not get bogged down with the semantics of peripheral players and focus on the real task
at hand = figure out who the hell is going to be our starting 11 for the foreseeable future, which means getting contracts signed, getting rid of a lot of deadwood and bringing
in talented players into the positions which truly need upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise
But why an earth would he
want to stay
at a club where he isn't getting
game time built on the basis that he was originally going to challenge Arsenal's current strikers for a starting position
in the team.
On the flip side, we really have to be winning
games like this if we
want to win the EPL, and I believe the reason why we didn't win this
time lies squarely
at Wenger's door, for yet again putting players
in the wrong position.
The Dodgers also acquired Nick Punto
in this trade, which seemed a little odd
at the
time: one of the
game's top first basemen on a contract the Dodgers
wanted to possess, coupled with a former ace and a former star who had both fallen on hard
times... and also a bench player who hadn't hit even a little bit
in his first year with the Red Sox and was only owed a little over $ 300,000 for the rest of the season.
I can be frustrating
at times because I write what I
want and I
wanted to highlight that 1) the
game isn't just about pace and desire as Wenger says 2) that the media needs to stand up to these managers because it infantilizes us fans and robs us of seeing
games more tactically and 3) because Arsenal are a deeply flawed team, managed by a guy who used to be knows for fluid passing and movement, but which has recently dried up to the point that Arsenal can't even pass the ball around the worst defensive team
in the League (Stoke).
I started googling way back
in may who could we be buying gonzalo higuian, julio cesar and wayne rooney but realize going by history wenger just as no interest
in buying world class players, he
wants 2 buy d grade players and turn them up to koscienly nd nasri that will take years while da arsenal faithful pay handsome figures for dismal performances, fans allowed wenger 2 get away when he gets away with these lucky matches of fenerbache been strong on paper but a waste of tym on the pitch, also it happen
at bayern but they put a slighty weak team but wenger runt his mouth around of how good da team was after that 2 - 0 win, not forgetting it was bould that got the team defense looking solid while wenger moan about referee decisions and no blame on team, I just feel we (arsenal) have allowed wenger and co to misuse us, so now our main target aim is benzema yet giroud plays more often than him for france, can any1 see how wenger is lowing our standards and expectations
at arsenal, I wil be over da moon if wenger does not sign an extension wit us, after the gilberto days and disaterous results and teams we play, his approach to the
game defensely which is pathetic and his annoying behaviour.So what if manu and chelski haven't really bought they are already strong it was seen last week now we should be worried about our selves since that villa defeat, jst imagine what the man's and london money maniac's are goin 2 do to us, I can see it already coming from wenger, if we find the right player we will buy him, after sept2, we didn't find da right player but the squad can challenge for the title, its so sick having 2 hear that crap, just take him psg, I just wish the fans would say we had enough of this bullshit transfer policies its
time we stood up against these pigs of directors by protesting!
We
wanted to play on the front foot a bit more, but it's all about staying
in the
game at times.
