Dunphy had another sly dig at Ozil tonght.

"Great cross from Sanchez which finds Ozil - which isnt something easy to do"

Reading the star that someone left behind in work tonight reminded me why I dont watch Dunphy unless I have to.

He asked besides Sanchez have Arsenal anyone of real quality. Yea it's not like Ozil has been assisting game after game and been playing terrific.

The man's a moron who forms his opinion based on what's been popular in the media he's more so kept around these days for comic value nothing he says is of any relevance.

Alexis would have been stuck on the same airplane doing nothing for eleven hours returning from the internationals, that's probably his equivalent of a six-week sunlounger holiday.

On a serious note, I don't know how he can go to South America, adjust himself to the time difference, play two matches in a few days, and then adjust himself to the London time and play in another few days. It's sick!

Good stats video on Ozil vs Payet.

If Wenger finds the right quality in the January transfer window, he will do something. Sounds pretty much like last summer.

And every other transfer window! I imagine he'll probably buy another 17 year old or something.

Good news on Theo though, glad to hear he's had no setbacks and should be back soon. Delighted Ramsey is back too, his work rate has been missed.

Is anyone new back for weekend? and when is Theo due back?

ETA I guess I should have checked Arsenal.com.. So Ox could be available which is good news.
No real indication though of when Walcott is back

Wenger said, Sunday is too early so may be the week after.

Just as well we were knocked out of the Carling Cup, albeit at the cost of two injuries. That'd be a nightmare to manage now with the squad.

Chamberlain needs to put his hand up in a big way when he gets his chance, huge potential that still needs to be realised. Really need to win every game up to the City match to keep the season on track.

We'll smash Olympiacos too imo when the time comes.

Bobby Baccala · 26-11-2015 05:07PM

Pretty disappointed with how Chamberlains season has been going. Thought this would be the season he'd kick on and start scoring a few goals. Been thinking that for a couple of years now though!

shano_88 · 26-11-2015 05:19PM

Should have Ox back on the bench for the weekend, fancy Ramsey to start instead of Joel. Probably the only change.

Good to have a bit of depth back. now if we can just go a few games without getting an injury!

For me based on performances this season I'd have Campbell ahead of Chamberlain in the pecking order.

I would view Campbell as a poor man's Ramsey. Too slow to really be a decent winger, but works hard and can play a nice pass.

Chamberlain can at least run hard at defenses and has some pace to him. I'd prefer to see him back.

For me Chamberlain has buckets of pace and terrific level of skill but does nothing with either no end product and doesn't work hard enough he's still the exact same player we signed hadn't progressed at all. Pace without product is useless imo.

For me Campbell can spot a pass is skillful works hard and tries his best and is only going to improve imo

Chamberlain has been given ample opportunity yet failed to deliver on most occasions. I wouldn't give up on him just yet but maybe a loan move would serve him well.

Ramsey yes but we may need him to play more centrally now and of the two I'd pick Campbell.

Ramseys a fast winger?

I'm gonna study Ramsey next game because all I ever see most of the time is misplaced passes and shots.

I don't understand why I don't see what others do.

No, Ramsey is slow, just like Campbell. Ramsey is just better than Campbell at everything he does.

No not at all. Its my opinion.

Ramsey has been good for half a season in the last 4 years.

He gives away the ball too much, misses loads of chances and is very slow.

Fair enough

Don't see much point in even debating this

26-11-2015 10:53PM

Pretty sure Campbell isn't slow..

wonga77 · 26-11-2015 11:07PM

To be honest I think in the past we have persisted with far worse players than Campbell, Dont think he's ever going to be a superstar but he does show some flashes of talent and works very hard. A spell of him instead of Ox might be a good kick in the hole for the latter, nothing better to motivate you then a bit of competition for places

One thing Campbell isn't is slow, how can you not see that. Chamberlain hasn't progressed much over the 4 years. Why not give Campbell a run? For not being in the team for so long he hasn't played too bad. What a goal and assist in 4 games IIRC. I think what Ramsey does is that because he naturally drifts into the middle and has good retention and control of the ball its makes it easier for santi and coq while leaving Bellerin to do the attacking from wide.

we should never have sold gervinho lads. there i said it.

So our much higher win rate with Ramsey starting than when Ramsey doesn't start is just purely coincidental?

I don't think he gives away the ball any more times than Sanchez, Giroud and the Ox to take a few.

He gets into great positions as he's such a clever player, but doesn't have much confidence recently and bottles it under pressure. He's already shown that he can score those chances when he has confidence however.

I don't think it's fair to call him very slow, he's probably a little faster than your average player. A player that is designed to and wants to be in a central position doesn't need blistering pace.

27-11-2015 05:13AM

Sorry, when I call Ramsey and Campbell slow, I mean for a winger. I would prefer that at least one of our front 3 has raw pace, and will give a defence something to worry about.

In my opinion, only Theo, the Ox and Welbeck have this kind of pace.

ronjo · 27-11-2015 07:20AM

I cant see how anyone would not pick Ramsey in our starting 11.
He can give the ball away cheaply at times but he certainly isnt the only one.

He has incredible energy and provides much needed support in the centre also which is often overlooked.
Plus he comes up with his fair share of goals.

Agree with everything else you said apart from this. He USED TO come up with his fair share. Not in a while though!
