One Campbell isn't really your typical wide man to stay out wide Two Wenger doesn't really intend to
play real wide men but rather people
who can help to provide an overload
in the middle from wide
positions so it could well be your opinion that we need a typical wide player but you should also observe that not even the invincibles enjoyed that privilege
seems to reflect the general mess that the club is now
in... rent seeking owner disinterested
in the game, delusional manager
who continues to believe the game is
played in his own head rather than against other teams
who are strengthening, too many players
in some
positions too few
in others, inflated wage bill due to hanging on to deadwood players, injury prone before season starts, lack of footballing identity... wexit a necessary but probably not sufficient condition for club to regain its status

Arsene
playing a balanced team will give you positive results, especially
playing against a big team, over the past years we have continued to use players not suited for certain
positions, we actually had a player
who used left foot on the left side of the field
who got
in attacking
position, Kolasinac to me was the most important player going forward and defending.
Ricky,

I think our RB
position is a worry for me considering the standard that Bellerin has set there and CM can be considered wer a physically built player
in the shape of kondogbia won't be a bad fit incase we
play teams
who want to bully us physically.
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.
With Wenger recently shifting to a back - three himself, it certainly does make sense for him to bring
in a versatile player
who can
play a majority of the
positions under his new system.
Who could challenge them??? Obviously COQZORLA will challenge them... Now, it seems Ramsey will never get chances to
play in that CM
position which is good for us..
He thinks that Cazorla's injury could be bad and he was asked
who he will now
play in that
position in the meantime.
last season Wenger broke the bank to bring Ozil
who is a world class but we have good players
playing in the same
position of Ozil... and we needed world class
in other
positions (ST, DM)..
We have Cazorla, Rosicky and Jack
who can
play that
position, but until Ozil sucks
in that
position he definitely owns it
in my book.
If he does nt
play in his favorite
position he does nt try and thats not fair to the other

Wenger will carry on
playing Ramsey on the right wing, My only concern with that is that Ramsey is too selfish, He always shoots instead of passing it to someone

Like other clubs Arsenal must be pumped with statistics on how players are performing,

Most misplaced passes
in the Premier League this term: Y.Kaboul (35) A.Ramsey (26) D.Janmaat (25) G.Barry (24) C.Benteke (24) R.Brady (24)-- Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 19, 2015 Unless, as the former Cardiff man was during the 13/14 campaign, he's
positioned alongside a holding midfielder
who can also carry the burden as our deeper playmaker similar to what Arteta did,
playing Ramsey alongside a destructive midfielder like Coquelin just doesn't work.
AMN - FFS just
play this boy

I only wish to focus on those
who can
play in the CF
position (as that's what everyone's getting bent out of shape about) but it is clear we have wide players
who can score and we have players
who can do so from midfield, some of whom are still developing — like Wilshere, Ramsay, the Ox — and from whom most of expect to see more and more this season.
Sure we could always improve but I think the manager's choice of
who to
play and
in what
position has a much bigger impact at this stage.
(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the teams
in the premiership and those we could face
in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to have a manager
who can prepare this squad for this eventuality and have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I have seen nothing
in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he would replace a small, pacy striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager
in the world that
plays more players out of their natural
positions (square peg
in a round hole)
who would of thought
playing in a aggressive league
in a
position which requires alot of tackles an interceptions could mean a possible injury.
He is a solid and experienced utility player
who can
play in a variety
positions.
but a t some point he lost it, and is not because of his stinginess to buy players, our core is good and has been for sometime now, his biggest problem was adaptation, change to the new EPL, his philosophy dating back 20 years does not work anymore and he knows it, because of this his biggest flaw all others came out to light, lack of rotation of his players favoring some over others, stubbornness that applies to his transfer policy buying for the future just as he had 20 more years ahead, players
playing out of their natural
positions, ARSENAL FLOPS
who knows under other Managers they could have been great, for some reason they were signed
in the first place, they must had some talent, best example is Campbell....
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
He
plays in a
position we need, is cheap, homegrown and has a potentially great upside, but on the other hand his footballing IQ is not that high so chances that we'll see that upside are debatable and he just came off injury whereas we need someone
who can immediately fill
in for depth.
