Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Zaha easily

Both:)

King -> Townsend for me.

Get him back on WC if still hot or just go with 15 DGW37'ers.

Wenger does not change anything - that is the problem. He has gone from revolutionary in the 1997 to caveman in 2017

If Wenger makes it to next Monday he has to change it, yes! Holding for sure.

He won't though, will he. Stubborn guy.

This assumes that Wenger is a rational person

Well we can see this for some time now. What makes you think Wenger will sudenly see it?

Wenger and change don't go hand in hand.

Not exactly renowned for lack of stubbornness.

I think you are right, Mark. It worked out last game vs. West Ham, but it's all about results, and this is a bad one. I think he has to try with Sanchez up top the next game.

I meant what I said a couple of pages back. It's one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in the prem to move Sanchez wide.

What did they stand to gain?...Sanchez and Arsenal were scoring for fun and playing really well....why would anybody change that?

Doubt it

Problem is he is stubborn. Aguero looking better at the moment than Sanchez. I'm Considering keeping Aguero and selling Sanchez instead

That's the worry allright (as in selling Sanchez). But the evidence is right there in front of us. Atrocious tonight. Especially Ozil and Walcott, so where is the supply going to come from for Sanchez even if he is CF? Xhaka or Elneny?

Given their recent away form, tonight doesn't seem any different
What's new to learn tonight ... same old, same old

Definitely not the best team in the prem to watch!

Problem is that sanchez will not be around come the summer.

I think Wenger is trying to figure out his team before the summer as he/whomever will need to get players in.

Playing sanchez in his preferred role up front just covers over the arsenal cracks leaving them guessing come summer tranfers.

I think what he is doing is logical in one way but he needs to at least finish in the top six.

The board could be with him on this one. Ultimately Arsenal need to know how effective they are without sanchez and work from there.

Arsenal do not look good. I kinda flagged this to myself a few games back but I still got sanchez in last week.

My own twisted logic 🙂

hehe...like I say, we can all see it. If Sanchez can't get the ball, he can't influence the game. It's nuts this, having seen what he can do from a central role. He's tried Welbeck down the middle - 1 goal and 1 assist from Sanchez. I don't get it?

Surely it changes at Boro?

Should be getting 3 I think.

I wouldn't count it. I am holding as well though

Why will he play him up front all of a sudden and not in these previous games?

For which team?

...when in fact what is needed is a GK, whole new back four, a midfield enforcer and at least one top draw striker.

...but sure...let's go buy some more lightweight, mildly skillful midfielders who go missing in games...can't get enough of those! 🙂

Wenger IN

You're a Liverpool fan and you watch that Kak?

Personally think it was a shame he left. Would have got England solid like Palace and that is half the battle. Keep clean sheets and you don't lose games.

Considering Sanchez + Deeney > Zaha/Sterling/Sane and Kane, thoughts?

Yep

His ability to miss out on points this season is peerless. He's going to have one big explosion though, you know it.

Sums the club in a whole up really.

Who did you play instead of Zaha?

Matt Phillips and chose Olson over Bertrand

*Experiment haha

yes
