Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

Surely get run now with all injuries. Ox might be used centrally.

[BartSimpson]

Arsenal have changed medical teams and S&C teams yet still are getting injuries.

I have read about this German guy that Wenger brought in, as I have a keen interest in S+C etc. He is one of the most highly sought after, and to be fair to him, S+C programmes, and injury prevention measures don't just happen overnight. It takes several weeks and possibly months to see the improvements.

[mrdeeds]

Pity about the red card. Would have liked a few players took of for rest before Chelsea. Welbeck movement was class. Would have took him of if no red. Not be as much space Sunday.

[ONeill]

Again, played far better with Wilshere on the bench.

I'm convinced he clogs play up with his tight 1-2s. He'll score one clinker a year playing that way but a lot of good play falls down around him. When he's not there, Cazorla and Ozil seem to get the ball in much more space.

Cesc is going to tear a few new ones isn't he?

[mrdeeds]

Wenger needs to bunch centre and use pace to catch on counter. No high line either. Lets see has he learned lessons.

Ach, tis written in the stars. He'll score a goal, but not celebrate. A great result for Arsenal would be a draw, but have a feeling the pensioners will win by 2 or 3 clear goals.

This is the side that lost 6-0 last season:

01 Szczesny
03 Sagna
28 Gibbs (red card)
15 Oxlade-Chamberlain (Flamini - 45' )
04 Mertesacker
06 Koscielny (Jenkinson - 45' )
07 Rosicky
08 Arteta
12 Giroud
19 Cazorla
09 Podolski (Vermaelen - 24' )

If no change in tactics (we know Arsene) - can Welbeck, Ozil and Sanchez make a difference......gulp

Totally agree. If he persists with the highline like last year it could be another embarassment. The problem is without Arteta who have they/you got to control the tempo of the game in the middle of the field and be patient,the rest of the midfielders are always looking  to attack,that won't work.

[ONeill]

Add Cesc and Costa...unless Arsene has lost his marbles he'll park le bus for the first time since FA Cup final 2005.

At least 5 of that team not starting. Kos went of and red card created a perfect storm. Put ox beside flamini and let them sit in front of defence.

What a ball of dung. No shots on target.

Arsenal have no world class players. Chelsea have 6-7.

Ozil? - Doesn't fancy it any more. I'm sure Sanchez is wondering what he has done going to London.

You forgot to add that the manager is a dick.

[tyroneman]

Ozil is not performing but neither is he being used effectively. Alexis is a 35million luxury. Gone is the other 10  are top class but no chance of him being the main man.

Time for Wenger to go.

[orangeman]

Mourinho is afraid of Wenger. Mourinho feigned it.
