Coulthard's Jaw Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Wenger cross because we'd invested so much effort to reach 70 minutes in a really strong position and then we just threw it away with stupid decisions. Also he is running out of chances to win the CL as manager but I doubt it's his last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr1s Lawson Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 If he wants to win the CL he needs to build a team good enough to win. Unfortunately that was 10-12 years ago and we didn't win it so that ships well and truly sailed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ234 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Not sure the ship has sailed. It is just there are two problems 1) we are 1-3 players short from having a first XI capable of competing in games like last night (DM, CF, RW) 2) there are super clubs who have an absurd array of great players.

Kawee Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 How people rate Ramsey depends on what they focus on. I thought he was our best performing midfielder, but I understand why some people were frustrated with him. Aside from Ox, he had the best chances in the game, and didn't really test the keeper. One of his turnover, also almost cost us a goal. Theo or Welbeck (preferably) up front would be massively beneficial for Alexis that's for sure. Also Cazorla's imminent return means we can get Ramsey back out wide right. Probably our strongest first 11 if these things happen. Much of Sanchez's problem had nothing to do with anyone else though. He is struggling individually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coulthard's Jaw Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Possibly, although Sanchez's record playing with Giroud is terrible, was the case last season as well. I think he'd be a lot happier with Welbeck up there, and hopefully we'll be able to try that out soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't much genuine quality in anything we did last night! No, he was our best player because he showed that defensive discipline that people think is lacking from his game, he was statistically our best passer and covered the most ground.

SJ234 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Best passer, best defensively of our CMs and had the most shots. So whilst he worked hard there was lots of good things flowing from that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayub95 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Definitely think that our best players will flourish more individually with Welbeck up front. He's deferential in his touches and passing, yet mobile and strong enough to win his duels. Gives Ramsey more security to bomb forward, Alexis opportunities to attack through the middle and Ozil an extra target running beyond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ234 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 With Ox out it maybe that we go Walcott up front and Welbeck wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayub95 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I don't like the thought of the constant interchange between Walcott, Welbeck and Alexis. It will confuse the opposition and also our own players if they are popping up in random places especially as the 3 haven't played with each other at all.

Kawee Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It's amazing how Walcott is one of out highest paid player, and he can't even get himself into the starting XI. Giroud has been okay, but what does that say about Walcott that Wenger wouldn't play him even when Giroud is not scoring. Or the fact that Ox, who has been no where near good enough, is also ahead of him for the right wing spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawee Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Scoring two goals is pretty good at OT. Conceding three goals to anyone in the EPL is never acceptable. I'm not too sure what to say at this point. Did any of the outfield player put in a good performance? Anyone at all? Some might have had a couple bright moments, but overall, they were mediocre at best. I don't know what to say at all. This performance drained so much from me. Something about it was just life-sucking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 So are 17 other teams. Bit harsh to belittle them considering how they are played all season. Depends which way you read it. Man City and Chelsea have the best players in terms of ability and both have massively underperformed. You'd think the clubs in the best position to exploit that would be Arsenal and Man Utd and arguably Liverpool with their resources, but we were in probably the best position of those three because we already had a squad of decent players. It's not belittling Tottenham or Leicester to suggest that in this situation we really should be doing a whole lot better. We've been poor overall since November and we're still only 5 points off the top! There's one thing Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool all have in common... they'll all have a different manager starting the 2016-17 campaign than started the 2015-16... except Arsenal.
