Btw, Fans needa to Stop blaming cos you want someone to blame,

The iwobi that’s one of the most criticised players equalised for us and some fans still can’t appreciate what he did, he played very well today, he didn’t lose the ball,did okay defense wise, assisted and scored, what are the things you actually want?,

mkhitaryan who’s always blamed scored and assisted.

Bellerin didn’t play totally well, but he wasn’t so awful to deserve all this criticism, he was duly involved in all those crosses that came from the right
Cech and our back 4 might have looked nervy while trying to play from the back, but Chelsea didn’t create any chance from winning balls in that area

And we didn’t lose the match cos of Emery’s selections, we didnt lose cos we were trying to play from the back, we lost the match cos aubameyang,mkhitaryan and iwobi missed sitters ,
we lost cos lacazette passed the ball back to the edge of his box in a counter attack

I’m sure if we had scored those sitters, opinions would have been different..

As for me, I blame Auba, he wasn't defending, holding up play in attack, pressing their defence and missed tap ins but gullible fans will shift everything on ozil,xhaka and bellerin..

Forgetting bellerin faced the best wingers( hazard,sane,william,sterling etc)in the league in a space of 7 days without much protection..

The season is long and good results in subsequent matches will calm fans again.
Bellerin is better suited as a wing back. He enjoys pushing forwards forgetting his defensive roles. Yesterday he was instrumental to our attack and yet was culpable to our conceding goals.

Emery will have to decide on how to use Bellerin. Either give him support or just leave him out. It makes little sense fighting to score and then being exposed.

As for Sokratis, I feel he is yet to come to terms with the pace and power of the PL. But since he has the mentality already, I think he will come good. If not, of course Holding is waiting to take over.

Dortmund would be so happy after offloading Sokratis and Schurlee. I actually think Mustafi, regardless of his 'mistake waiting to happen' game, has been far better than Sokratis. Lol. Sokratis and Bellerin.. They both excel at doing nothing in that defence. 2 Ball watchers. Whatever happened to Holding?

That said, I still don't know why any of Arsenal coach hasn't tried Ozil in a diamond setup. Better still, why Germany coach, Low forgot this same role he deployed Ozil in their 2014 qualifiers when Ozil was their highest goalscorer with 10 goals and 14 assists. How could he have forgotten so soon?

How could no coach pick this up and realise Ozil is at his best close to the final third, in front of a dominant 3-man midfield. Even his best games at Madrid was when 1 spanish midfielder (can't remember his name) was deployed alongside Alonso and Khedira in a 3-man midfield sort of while Ozil played on the right but due to the fact that Benzema and Cr7 were always interchanging with him and Ozil was dropping deep a bit after drifting inside, the setup was more like a 4312 diamond setup. Madrid won the league as well as scoring the highest goals ever, breaking barca's records in the process and Ozil was the one at the heart of it all.

I don't know why coaches can't find more about the player they coach.
There are other players who need to be considered also apart from Ozil. Having a better team structure for me is better than building around a player. Today we played a 4231 with Ozil just behind the striker. He made poor runs into dangerous areas(which to be honest isn't his game) that is why he was mostly anonymous throughout. Ramsey did a better job when he came on. I'd love to see Ramsey in that set up, playing aside Guendouzi and behind Ozil where he can make those runs from deep.

sod09:
exactly and some lunatic think it was easy....but what I don't understand is the pressing from back
I don't know really what Emery wants to achieve with that. Subsequent games will tell.

I feel Emery hasn't known his best 11 yet. But based on what they played today, I think the likes of Xhaka, Bellerin, won't make it. I stand to be corrected though as one can never tell.

More so Bellerin. Chelsea discovered him a weak link in our set up and had a filled day exploiting him. Emery must learn that Bellerin is better suited to the bench during big games.
ORIJIN201:
No one will talk about how bellerin is useless defensively today. huh

I think the players were unfortunate to play 2 top teams consecutively while learning their new coach. I think today's performance especially during the last minutes of the first half show a big improvement from last week. Hopefully as we meet lesser teams the boys would have more chance to master the pattern Emery wants them to play. I believe that Emery has what it takes to take the club to the next level.

COYG!!!!!!!

We just need the back 4 to communicate and the midfield to move the ball to the attacking third faster.
With a calmer head Guendouzi has the ability to dominate a midfield. He needs more runners like we have been doing.

Let's be sincere, there is no top player in this team and Arsenal can no longer attract top players. Irrespective of tactics and hardwork, you need top players to achieve something at the top.
Don't be double faced. There have been teams who have achieved much without top players. Emery can.

kokaneprodigy:
sharrap there!! You were making sense until the bolded. which “we” have been envying Giroud. The striker with no shot on target all thru World Cup? U better quit whatever it is u smoke.
Not everyone smokes like you, so stop comparing your sense with mine.

Not every player had a shot on goal, not every player was picked in all the games, yet you pick out Giroud as if football is all about shots on goal. Stupid, FFS, there are other forms of contributing to team success like giving assists or assisting the assistant. He won the WC, not as a bench warmer but as a major player.

If you brain can't decode this please don't quote me.

BlueRayDick:
Envy Giroud? Maybe u are the only arsenal fan who envys him.

Truth be told Giroud has been the same ol' Giroud. Nothing has changed since he moved the other side. He remains the striker who prefers to pass often times than shoot. He prefers setting other players up rather than shooting all by himself being the striker.

You see myself and other people criticize him because we hate to see a striker passing in the box instead of shooting.

Believe me, I value Adebayor more than I will ever Giroud. Why? Cos Adebayor doesnt wait for the ball to fall to his head before he makes attempt at goal. No be hold up play we go chop. Let Giroud just enjoy his new club
Giroud has become a key player both at Chelsea and French NT. All these despite the treatment he got from Arsenal fans. He has even shown he is better or more preferable than the likes of Morata and Lacazette.

Envy here refer to the fact that he actually got a better club and won the WC.

Özil just 5 Premier League assists off Paul Scholes, despite playing 356 games
less. Calm down guys
Honestly.
Ozil is the kind of player with little contribution in a match but they can be very significant.

Every player have their style and fans should learn to handle that. For Ozil, don't expect him to 'shine' if the team isn't up to it. If you are not going to hold the ball don't expect Ozil to chase for you. Give him the ball and run into space he will surely find you.

Arsenal fans mentality towards their players is really disgusting. We criticize a lot, expect big out of nothing.

Take Giroud for example, we criticized him till he left, now we envy him because he has gone to Chelsea. Hope he takes it easy when we meet. smiley
I was just praying Ramsey doesn't leave because we will soon envy him too.

the problem with us is no body wants to collect ball from the lad.
I also like the fact that with his mistakes he didn't let that affect his game, he was cech saviour that day because he gave cech options to pass unlike mustafi and Sokratis both ran away mehn grin.
I'm having this confidence we will get better
Though I still think he is not ready to be a starter.

A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE!

Torreira's natural position is DM, not CM. He is excellent at ball interception because he able to read the game and the movement of the ball, his positioning is great as he provides better cover for the back 4 and closes opponents faster than Guendouzi or Xhaka. His timing and tackling is better than anyone else on that roster.

Offensively he is technically gifted on the ball and is able to start the offense from deep in comparison to Guendouzi. Guendouzi will thrive as a central midfielder, not a defensive midfielder.
I think Guendouzi passes better hence his playing deeper than Torriera who tackles better.
