    hope walcott and giroud go upfront together, would be lethal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,531 ✭✭✭Fuzzy_Dunlop


    Also no Michu for swansea in the starting lineup

    Surely itll be cazorla on the wing and ramsey in the hole? Good team i think.

    Since when does Wenger not play Ramsey on the wing? I hope I'm wrong but I doubt I am :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,222 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    At the moment and I stress at the moment these are some midfielders I believe could offer more than jack.

    Dembele
    Piennar
    Osman
    Carrick
    Gerard
    Diame(injured)
    Ramires
    Toure
    Cabaye.

    As I said jack has the potential but he needs to be more consistent,he has one great game then next game he gives the ball away every second pass.He is only back from injury but I just think you can't criticise him because he is a fans favourite.



    You are smoking crack :p Carrick over Wilshere :eek:, seriously the only one of them id take over Jack is Toure who for me is the best in the league.

    FFS Santos starts ????

    Young lad ripping the P*** out of me :D He's not playing but is on the bench.

    At the moment I think Carrick is playing well nor united.

    They must have given Walcott a free role or something, thought Caz was on the right at first, then I thought Walcott then it looked like Jack was there. One thing is for sure though, Ramsey is on the left.

    Anyone else notice Jack's wierd free kick technique? Keeps his head down for an unusual amount of time through the ball


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,222 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly

    He might be playing well but he still not nor will he ever be better than Wilshere, in Wilshere we have one of the best midfielders in the league. Hes is not the problem at Arsenal he is one of the players who gives us hope for the future a tremendous player most teams would love to have.

    Do we over-rate Wilshere a little bit?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,428 ✭✭✭.jacksparrow.


    One pass and it bypassed our whole midfield.

    .He is only back from injury but I just think you can't criticise him because he is a fans favourite.

    He's a favourite for a reason - he's Arsenal through and through, he gives it all for the team, he's got immense potential and most can see he should mature into one of the best midfielders of his generation. Most of those players you listed have many more years experience than Jack. He'd be the first name on the teamsheet for me, I wouldn't replace him with any of those mentioned as the more he plays the better he'll become and it'll be great watching him become the player he should become.

    Having said that of course there is a level of consistency that he's yet to achieve, but the team itself is horribly inconsistent.

    No one is immune to criticism but once he's giving his best he'll always be a facourite for me.

    Nope, footballs fans of all teams have commented to me how highly they rate Wilshere.

    i really think Wenger needs to re-evaluate his formation. He won't though. He's very stubborn.

    But that's my point,you love him cause he gives it his all and is arsenal through and through,yes he will be probably a top player but my point was at this moment in time,I don't think he is the best in the league.

    Dont get me wrong, I do like him just IMO he's not world class yet, I wouldnt even rate him as our best midfielder.

    I don't think he's the best in the league either, but i'd give him the chance to become that player by playing him as much as was sensible.

    Just a different way of looking at it i suppose :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,778 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Don't know what we're doing in training but there is definitely no work on placed balls, frees or corners. Useless. Shouldn't let Wally near them again.


  • Posts: 12,836 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Unbelievable really. Santi comes with a massive reputation for free kicks yet somehow, Walcott who has never scored one in his life is ahead of him in the order.

    Hes not the best in the league but bar Toure none of what you mentioned are better than him or would I take in my team over him.

    Genuinely had to check the sky app to see who our 11th man was missed the line ups.......... It was Ramsey!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    Looks to me like Walcott is dictating a bit "let me take it" and no one wants to stand up to him and just lets him do sh1t to try to keep him happy. Both Santi and Jack would be better from dead balls I imagine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 30,133 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    Never do we have anyone following in at the back post from crosses. I'm not sure if it's our setup or just that it's Ramsey on the left that's the reason.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,778 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Very boring game with no atmosphere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 30,133 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    For a big centre forward I wish Giroud would stay up on their centre backs rather than getting sucked back into play. Look at Graham. He's always on the shoulder of the last defender whereas Giraud hangs around their midfielders. It's basic stuff and that's what makes it frustrating.

    We are **** to watch now.... No width or pace in our side, Ramsey on the left is baffling id have Santos out on the wing he would gallop there right full into the ground.

    He's big in height but none of his game is about strength ala Drogba. He's fairly soft

    Walcott is so timid.

    Good defensively so far but lacking in terms of going forward.
