Every impressive result we have had in the last 12 months was
when we played as a team and IMO most importantly when we pressed as a team not giving Chelsea, City etc a real chance to control the game, never letting them settle into to a comfortable rhythm.

I see lot of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class player.Yes, he is a great player BUT did you see how mutch this season was he injuried?The period
when Dortmund win some games and comme forward in the table was the period
when Reus was available, rest of the season he was injuried.This is one thing, the other think is that Klopp say he will leave Dortmund in the end of the season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will leave to a big
team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type of player
as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a first XI player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla
when he will leave.Sterling is an English player, will be great to see him at nationat
team too, and we need
as mutch
as rest of the big
teams from EPL home grown players.The coments who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want to see more young players and waiting year after year to confirm or just see how they doesn't
play anything?We are a top
team, and need performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED player who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great player.
I love the way wallcott
played yesterday he defended well and the run belerin made to save us that was class
When a
team play together
as a unit and fight calmly and back each other well the sky is the limit... We saw Leicester do it last year with a cheap squad we have experience and skill and pace what we need is togetherness and together we can us and the Arsenal
I am a huge sports fan.I love nfl and college football i never get enough of it.I am a big soccer [the other football] fanatic.I like basketball, hockey, some baseball and rugby.I am a big jersey buyer i have a lot of jerseys mostly of american football and soccer.I love the strategy of football i think it is fascinating.I have been a falcons fan since 1990
when the went to all black helmets and jerseys i was a fan because of that and because of primetime deion sanders.I have been a falcons fan through thick and thin win or lose they are my
team regardless of how they do.I hope to one day visit Atlanta and see them
play at home in Georgia.I hope to one day see them bring back black jerseys
as the home colors.I am still a fan of the run n shoot offense i truly believe it can work in the nfl if ran and merged with some two back formations and a one back three wide one tight end formation.
goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something
when Giroud misses many chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a
team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud
as the main cf and Welbeck
as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.
As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations
as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of
play is ok for us but a striker who can take on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but
as the saying goes if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice shame on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
The brilliant Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky is now in his 8th season at Arsenal, and has always performed brilliantly
when called upon to
play for the first
team, but due to various injuries and Arsene Wenger's choices our Little Mozart has only averaged 20 starts a season in all competitions, and another 10 per year
as substitute.
this kid had it all and could have been truly great but guess what, you can take the kid out of the hood but you can't always take the hood out of the kid, sterling hangs around with a bunch of idiots who think posting their mate online doing laughing gas is clever and there all living in London, bringing him in would be a huge mistake in my opinion and those of you suggesting to offer theo and money, Im so glad you don't run the club, theo is the best r winger in the league
when fit, we also have Wellington silva coming back, not to mention ox to cover or Sanchez if we want to
play Danny or mezut on the left, let city have Raheem and let their already volatile dressing room implode, let's get Cech, lacazette and a solid dm to compete with le coq, sell Chesney to inter for good money podolski could be used
as make weight for Morgan or the like release flamini let arteta and Roz have there last season if they choose or let them go if they want more first
team football, Rio to have one more loan Diaby pay
as you
play and last promote chuba who clearly is going to be an animal, with this I believe the title is ours and if the new 3 settle a real tilt at the cl is possible but please gooners get behind theo he is absolutely essential COYG
I disagree.A wingback can be viewed
as a defensive winger.Whether the Ox likes it or not he's been blessed with the qualities of a winger.To me that's his best position.He's only doing well
as a wingback because of his attacking abilities.
As I said earlier a wingback can be viewed
as a sort of defensive winger.That's why CB's who are used
as RB or LB can not
play wingback.Wingback needs the player to be able to adapt himself like a winger while also being solid defensively.Ox has the attacking part but not the defensive part.With Bellerin we have the best of both worlds.He can attack, defend and also has the speed necessary to
play wingback.I fear Ox being
played at wingback will cost us
when we
play teams with tricky wingers.He should rather be challenging Sanchez or Ozil for their positions and not wingback.The guy hates to always have to defend which in truth he can't.
When they come up against a dysfunctional
team like Arsenal who
play as individuals, no tactics and don't have a
team effort then they might mash us again..
As Thirdman implies, Ozil might have a purple patch
when playing teams of lesser quality
teams or if he happens to come against opponents with even less zest than he has.
Everyone goes on about Kante and yeah, he's a good industrious hard worker but he excelled at Leicester because they had a unique and regimented approach to how they
played football and how the whole
team acted
as a unit, which made his job much easier and conversely, the other players jobs were easier too
when considering his role in the set up.
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
I have said a few times that MN has potential and I want to see more of him, not only because he has impressed me
when played with the 1st

as well.
No matter how well
play,
when it all seems that all Is going well in our
team, injury will somehow someway striker a key player and from that moments, other key players starts over labouring themselves and ended up injured
as well.
Rosicky will feature in games, same
as he did last year.I'd like to see him
play more often to be honest, but he's more valuable
as a substitute,
when the opposing
team gets tired and he increases the tempo, rather than having him start and substitute him at around 65 - 70 mins, because of the fatigue.Again though, he's still very valuable and crucial for us, if we want to do well in every competition we are in.
Arsene Wenger does appear to have a point
when he continually refers to the way his
team is occasionally singled out for attention
as it appears that some
teams have no other way to deal with the way the Gunners
play other than to meat out punishment to attempt scare the north London side.
If we only
play with the same mentality and intensity just
as when we
played against Monaco away after losing at home, which is not unlike previous years at the same stage of CL, against Bayern last year and Dortmund before that, I believe this
team can start another «Invincible» streak from this month onwards till next season.

Remember if you aren't at the head of the class
when it comes to the development of young talent, which means eyes on the ground everywhere, a vast array of connections with soccer associations throughout Europe and beyond and a manager willing to properly train and
play said blue chippers, (like the 90s Arsenal or clubs like the modern day Monaco and Dortmund) you need to spend to win... anything in between is highly problematic... failure to make the necessary changes leaves you in the proverbial «no man's land» and that is currently where we reside... it's difficult to get out of this rut... just ask either of the Milan
teams... next step after that is being known
as a «seller», which could be us already if and
when Sanchez leaves... there are only two
teams that have worn this moniker in recent times and had some decent success and that is Athletico Madrid and Dortmond, which only occurred
when they both brought in new, charismatic leaders in Simmone & Klopp... the odds that Wenger could conjure up the magic to repeat the performances of a bygone era are incredibly low, so why prolong the agony... he's not willing to create the hierarchy necessary to go the youth route and he's unwilling to put his
team's potential success ahead of his job security by laying it on the line with Moustache, so it's time to place all your chips in the middle or go gently into that good night
Then Ramsey can

Spot on Mate, People» do nt realise what Mr Wenger has achieved, Look at the likes of Leeds United, Portsmouth (It was same rated
team in Fifa 09
as Arsenal and look where they are now) Tottenham and liverpool are thinking of making new stadium for years and they are not able to do it,
When people ask what has the old man given us in last ten years apart from sorrow and anguish, I would like them to point towards the stadium in which our beloved
team plays and thousands of supporters watch the match.
Even if Giroud doesn't score
as much
as we want, the rest of the
team plays better
when he
plays, Welbeck just doesn't offer our other players enough and he hasn't got the finishing to make up for that.

They followed that up with a very strong showing in the inaugural Champaign League (

When Archbishop Mitty - San Jose and St. Ignatius - S.F. clash in West Catholic Athletic League

as a meeting between NorCal's top two
teams.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran
when Henry was in his prime...
as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who
plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge
when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil
playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German
team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

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.

It's almost impossible
when you don't bring your best and you are
playing one of the Elite squads such
as Team Goldin.
Giroud — too slow, too inconsistent, no good enough to link - up
play and he's symptomatic of
when the Wenger plan truly fell off the rails... he obviously has some great skills but they would make far more sense on a
team that was fighting for much lesser objectives because we have never used a formation that works to his strengths (2 up top like France) and
as such he should be sold to the highest bidder regardless of who it is
We just ain't good
when the opposition closes us down, our players like space and if you watched the game Spuds
when they lost the ball they got it back in seconds working together
as a
team, that's what you have to do to stop good
teams play like we did at Chelsea first half of the season,
i rate him highly, he is a box to box player but can
play as a cover for Ozil and can give a better balance to the
team than walcot
when he
plays in the left wing which is not either his preferred place nor his natural one.
Come the other year
when Arsenal went the whole season without a defeat in the Premier League, Barcelona were attracted by Marc Overmas and Emmanue Petti, the two joined Barcelona, they
played few games, and sometime on the bench,
as a result Emmanue Petti decided to go back to England and joined New - Castle and always regret leaving Arsenal, then the other year it was Alexander Hleb, he was the best dribller in Arsenal
team, he went again to Barcelona, he was never given some games, I think he only
played few games
as a sub, and his carrier was destroyed by Barcelona, then come Henry, he again went to Barcelona, he
played some games but not like he used to do at Arsenal, he was not looking like a star player anymore, he decided to go to America, then there was Fabrigas, he joined Barcelona again, since he was one of their juniors, I think he
played for two seasons, and supporter used to booing him, he decided to come back to Arsenal, by then Arsenal had already resplaced him with Ozil, and he joined Chelsea, then come Alexander Song, he pushed to go to Barcelona, he was always on the banch, and never been on first eleven, then he ended up regreting joing Barcelona, and wanted to go back to Arsenal, but normally Wenger do not take players who pushed themselves to be out of Arsenal, lastly there was Vermuleen, he went to Barcelona and ended up not
playing at all but
when playing for Arsenal they used to be star players.
