Mark Lawrenson has not predicted a Liverpool loss since the end of the 15/16 season. 47 predictions ago.

by RealGunner Sun 22 Oct - 4:39

Ozil is irreplaceable ffs. No one in the team moves the ball as well as he does.

Beautiful move by Arsenal, Lacazette doing his best Benzema impression

It's time to call Xhaka a premier league flop. I'm absolutely done with him.

Xhaka doing his best Bakayoko impression

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun 22 Oct - 4:48

Problem is the center of Arsenal's midfield is so bad as it attains to preventing counter attacks this will happen most weeks Laughing

Ozil, Lacazette and Sanchez is fine if your midfield can actually protect you somewhat, Ramsey and Xhaka are not doing that.

They need to completely revamp the central midfield.

by Mr Nick09 Sun 22 Oct - 4:52

Ramsey is always in the box, so it's only Xhaka playing in front of the defense lol. Ramsey is either undisciplined, or his manager has no respect for squad balance asking him to run up so much

by McLewis Sun 22 Oct - 4:55

What midfielder(s) could Arsenal realistically bring in that can fix their problem in the center?

by CBarca Sun 22 Oct - 4:55

Remembere that period of time where Aaron Ramsey was a world class, one of the best in the PL midfielder?

Times have changed

Bellerin

one that stays in position and does not think of himself as Griezmann... should not be that hard, if they play a double pivot, the double pivot needs to cover the midfield, not try to score goals

Anyone who isn't positionally naive imo.

Nzonzi, Krychowiak, William Carvalho, Benzema, Lars/Sven Bender, Dendondocker, etc

by RealGunner Sun 22 Oct - 5:02

That's because of coaching.

by McLewis Sun 22 Oct - 5:06

@ES

Benzema lol... the bantz.

Of all those names, Krychowiak stands out to me. Good two-way player.

by CBarca Sun 22 Oct - 5:08

Has to take responsibility at some point. He's in a double pivot and I've seen him more forward than your forwards a couple times this game rofl

He's regularly as far forward as Sanchez and Ozil

Not that Wenger is a very good manager anymore or anything, he definitely takes some of the blame, honestly probably quite a decent amount of it.

Haven't seen anything from Ramsey the last couple seasons to suggest he's at a level at all equal to some of the best midfielders in the EPL. Honestly would rather have Winks

bellerin is not bright is he?

by Jay29 Sun 22 Oct - 5:12

Xhaka is garbage, tbh. Completely incapable of playing under pressure and is a poor defender. Only time his passing can't hurt teams is if he has space to play them. He's made to look so much worse by our complete lack of positional structure in position .

The second CM in Arsenal's team is instructed to go forward. Doesn't matter who it is. Even Coquelin flies forward when he plays. Ramsey suits it better because of his engine but it's a fundamentally bad coaching decision.

Ramsey can be disciplined if he's told to eg. Chelsea away this year.
