The reason Cesc and Ozil and Ramsey wouldn't all fit in the same arsenal team is because Wenger is an inflexible buffoon who won't ever change from one formation

DING DING DING DING

WE HAVE A WINRAR
 
Arsenal fans have been all about playing a 433 with Ozil in the FUCKING WING

Now its no no no, he gotta play as a 10

Fucking decide.

You could have had Cesc, played the formation I posted and be great and won the league and I would have LOVED it.

:lol Fabregas is not going to be the deciding factor in any team winning the league. His form nosedives in the Spring every single season.

Don't know how long you've been gone but

Santana happened

Dresden happened

Schlacke happened

Saw it and enjoyed it :D
Problem is, I hate Dresden as much as Schalke for being a nazi cunt club with the worst fans in germany.


looooool at people thinking Ozil keeling over has something to do with the so called "physicality" of the EPL.

He's ALWAYS done this. Can count on one hand the times he finished a game for Madrid.
Nah mate, problem with Özil is his consistency and his development.
He got the potential to be even better and it just didn't happen over the last 2 years, while other players like Reus got further in the development and are simply better.

It looks like he's lacking a bit of willpower, he could be worldclass, but he's nothing getting further with his development lately.
This season he's got alot to prove and bring in some consistency.

two striker formations are fucking useless, no top team in the league is going to play anything other than some variation of 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 this season.

Man City played two up top the other day. Atletico won the league playing two up top all season. Liverpool played two up top at times. We're playing 3-5-2. So are hull and fucking QPR.

Fucking maddening how people don't think 4-4-2 can work. If Chelsea had another decent striker it would work with their team.

Fuck, play Schurrle up front. Matic and Fabregas are absolutely good enough to play up front this season.

Cesc could have played in Arteta's position, it's where he plays for Chelsea anyway. So Wenger could have easily fit him in the team if he wanted to.

Fabregas has zero discipline. Wenger's obviously not going to be the one to tell his golden boy that he can't play as a 10. everyone wants to be a fucking 10. ozil's a 10, cazorla's a 10, ramsey's a 10, wilshere's a 10, ox sees himself "centrally" whatever the fuck that means, fabregas is a 10, fucking rosicky is a 10. how many 10s do we need in this team????

I'm ambivalent over not buying Fabregas back. Sanchez was a better signing. a DM is a MUCH more needed signing.

Gotta love Arsenal GAF. Cesc has a great first game and you guys are all scrambling to justify not signing him. Hilarious.
I'm not sure what you want?

It's important to put the signing of Ozil and the lack of Cesc in context, which many Tulips in here aren't.

#STAYING?

what a fucking baby lmao

Can't win an argument so he reduces himself to posting nonsense. So sad. Just log off before you continue to embarrass yourself. Your team does it enough for you, I think.

64 FF poinnts. Quite pleased with that. Thought it was going to be shit but then FabreCap netted me 22. Even better considering Young, Mata and Yaya did fuck all.

Dumped Lambert as he's a bit expensive for a guy whos not going to get as many minutes as other players. I'm going to try and stick to the one transfer a week until we're 8-10 games in and then maybe use my wildcard.
 
The simple fucking thing is

Cesc would have made Arsenal a better team

So you fucking sign him when you have a chance to get him for cheap as fuck price

End of story.

I don't remember him doing this at all. Barca were utter cunts about it tho, but I have no qualms about letting him join the club of his dreams, even though it failed. lol

That was terrible from Barca. FF, pls.

Sanchez - Giroud
----------Ozil
Cesc - Arteta (DM?) - Ramsey

What do I win?

You can't work that out?

It's quite easy, 4-3-3 midfield
A defensive midfielder like Bender | ____
Ramsey---------------Fabregas-------- | | Özil |

gk

back four

massive fuck off DM

Ramsey Cesc

Ozil

Sanchez and some other whippet forward. I'd take Remy and his wobbly knee, can always keep Diaby company on the Emirates Injury table.

Huehuehuehue.

this thread man

I'd rather read 700 glum and increasingly whingy United transfer related posts or the Arsenal Civil War than people who didn't like Pies

I only like key lime pie and lemon meringue pie. Fuck apple pie. Fuck savoury pies.

And Villa is at the top of the Claret and Blue table after one week :)

If Concrete Ron keeps it up you'll win the league

Senderos is first choice now? What happened to Okore? Still injured?

the slightly more nuanced thing is

opportunity cost

does Arsenal need yet another 10 that can't/refuses/plays like shit in every other position? especially when there are so many holes in this team?

no.

the answer is no.

When it involves getting a world class player, answer is yes.

I've reached my self imposed limit of 5 cigs a day (cutting down from 10) in order to gently ease myself into quitting

Well maybe I worded it a bit badly, i do kind of like pies, there's just so many other things I would rather have so I never really have pie.
 
No. Let me see it.

Don't put anyone on the wing.

Don't put anyone on the wing? You don't play with conventional wingers anyway. And it doesn't really matter that much because you have a lot of good footballers than are very good at exploiting space when you have possession. Whoever takes up that position can do damage. But if you want to put someone specific there then it's Ozil.

We are assuming he is not match fit. He wasn't even on the bench this week. Senderos didn't look awful, I was pretty nervous when I saw that. Both Hutton and Cissokho looked great on the wings. N'Zogbia was invisible, but it was his first match back in over a year. Excited to see Grealish come off the bench this season, and I'm intrigued to see a midfield three of Delph, Sanchez, and Westwood. I think Sanchez can help Westwood flourish.

Duncan Castles, is he reliable? Anyway, he says Rojo was supposed to fly to Manchester tonight to complete the deal, but has remained in Lisbon instead.

Woowar strikes again!

Yes but look at where he played for Chelsea tonight. He moved all around the pitch and generally just played balls through to the front three. lol at this obsession with 10s. What do you mean by discipline anyway.

huh?

Matic and Arteta play the same role.

Cesc is playing where Ramsey plays.

If we look at the formation on paper (let's say 4-2-3-1), you could say that Cesc/Arteta play on the right alongside Matic/Ramsey on the left. They generally switch around anyway so it doesn't really matter where they play.

I'd rather have Sanchez/Walcott/Ox on the wing over Ozil.

We have too many players that want to play centrally as it is.

Forgot you had Cissokho, was assuming with Luna gone that Richardson would play there. But you're right, Hutton did look decent from what I saw; nice to see Lambert's swallowed his pride with regards to a few players (on that note, was Bent on the bench?)

Sanchez looked fucking rock solid at the World Cup. Could be a real good signing. Means Delph can play further up the pitch as well.

No you can't. Matic was consistently deeper than Cesc today.

Arteta is consistently deeper than Ramsey.

Good win for Chelsea today. Although it is only against Burnley, who played well but are not of the highest quality, our new signings bedded in well and gave our team a new impetus. That second goal especially was fantastic, hope to see more of that - Cesc was more than deserving of the Man of the Match. Courtois made a good save too, looked assured.

Only disappointments were the lack of a clean sheet and the Costa yellow card - but oh well. Football is back!

Play a diamond. Play Walcott up front like he's been begging since the dawn of recorded time. Buy a DM. Play Cesc and Ramsey and Ozil together.

Weep for Jack.

It's not my obsession with 10s. It's Wenger's. He keeps buying all these players that he know are woefully ineffective anywhere other than as a 10 and those that actually are effective on the wing all want to play centrally. it makes no fucking sense.

Bent was on the bench, and I thought he should have gone on late game for Agbonlahor. I really don't know where Gabby fits in, especially after Benteke and Kozak are fit.

Grealish is proper good

That county fan can attest to that

Think Lambert is a good manager for him too.

Remember when Alex Mcleish tried to ruin the whole city of Birmingham. What a gormless chump.
