During the 20 years that we have had Arsene Wenger as our manager the 11th
month of the year is the one which has seen the Gunners take the fewest average points per

worst August which is 1.89 and the best which is 2.18 in March.
He did score loads
of goals in his first couple
of months and has scored so far, which isn't
bad for someone who only plays 2/3
of every Premier League
game.
This is how it goes (est. since 2008): 1) Jack He will start to have a run

game; 3) Jack will overstretch in a challenge; 4) Jack will be on the receiving end
of a
bad tackle; 5) Jack will break and be out for 12
months, or, Jack will strain and be out for 3
months
He played consistently for 6
MONTHS, continued his form in pre-season, has one bad game because of rustiness every player suffers after months without PL, and all of a sudden he's crap??? Coquelin is class and is only getting better, he had a bad day at the office which is normal yet his stats were above average, so what does he have to do to gain support, score a hat trick, be Maradona??! Honestly some of you guys complain too

We haven't even played 10 league
games as yet, it's hard to make a judgement
of how good this squad is, November statistically is our
worse month and this season we have Spurs and United in that
month let's try and manage our expectations as fans!
While both those players are frustrating, I find Ramsey to be the
worse as I feel his best moments
of his playing career was in those few
months alongside Arteta and he was looking like a contender for POTY already then got injured, that period
of time seen Ramsey put in more tackles per
game than Arteta (on average I think it was 4.4), he was doing the defending and then taking the ball forward in attacks.
Yes November is our
worst month statistically, but it seemed we were favoured with the fixtures to break the jinx this season... with WBA, Norwich, Sunderland, and villa consecutive fixtures, Judging by their current form, we (fans) and outsiders tipped arsenal to sit comfortably at the top
of the league before the «big
game» Vs City.
Does he want to play that
badly for his country only to be sidelined for the next 2
months, and miss a whole bunch
of EPL and CL
games?
Without Ramsey we would have definitely lost the Liverpool
game, he got an assist and a goal yet somehow he still gets blamed smh, I'm so tired with the unnecessary hate this guy gets, no other midfielder can consistently place themselves in goal scoring positions like our Welsh man does, even Gerard and Lampard regard him as one
of the best midfielders in England... And if he was so
bad then Barca scouts wouldn't be watching him for the last 6
months.
A
bad November was turned into a nightmare when our talisman striker Alexis Sanchez got the injury we had been fearing in the final
game of the
month at Norwich City.
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...
The funny part with some AFC fan is that they're quick to single out Ospina when he was lauded almost world class a couples
of months back when he had 14 clean sheets in 18
games and helped us turn it around... he made a mistake and let's be clear it's not AW fault!We had a
bad a really
bad one... when we dominated we should've killed it off instead
of probing, probing & probing.
November is our
worst month, I hope we win at least 2
of those
games (especially against the spuds) been too long since we had a win against them
When the football media started to remind us about Arsenal's poor record in November in the Premier League under Arsene Wenger, with the stats showing that it was by far the
worst month for the Gunners in terms
of points per
game, it seemed to be nothing more than a statistical oddity.
Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction
of this club... regardless
of those who still feel that Henry has some sort
of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding
of the
game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense
of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple
months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless
of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures
of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers
of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state
of our squad, none
of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one
of the
worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one
of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
