Joel Campbell: Got Out While He Could

[YeahBee]

Why the hell Wenger didn't pick him up for the game yesterday?

I really don't understand.
Why Iwobi is picked ahead of him?
Why Wilshere who's back from injury was picked?

Has Joel done something wrong?

it has happened with so many players and is quite ridiculous tbh

nothing in their form warranted them to get dropped IMO

Youngsters for sure needs games to develop. but too much focus on them to perform day in day out and be counted as a starter adds too much pressure

for some like Cesc it works, but such talent you can see it from game 1 anyway

for other talents the pressure and number of games is counterproductive and injuries follows. and they can become placent

And the player who get dropped due to bad form or injury never get a chance to reclaim their spot?

Arsène's squad valuation is all over the place

There was no point in having Cazorla,xhaka n wilshere on the bench thats mid field overload.Wrong decision from Wenger

 

[Stumped]

When this lad plays we play our most smooth, slick football. He's got lovely technique and a crafty left foot. He wouldn't get into Wenger teams of the past but is arguably one of the closest profile of players in this current squad to play the old Wenger style of play. I don't get why he is in/out.

he does, but lacks in quality.

he's got very few strenghts as a winger.he has to play centrally near the D, and we can have only one there.

Good preseason, match fit, not in the squad.

The affair with Wenger's daughter continues

What you have highlighted, amongst others, is why I believe that Wenger needs to go. When you're no longer playing on the basis of merit, you don't deserve to coach.

Joel is better than Iwobi, Wilshere, Theo and Ramsey in my opinion, but for some unforseen reason, he is behind all these clowns in the pecking order. I've lost respect for Wenger.

 

[bojed]

Surely Joel deserves a place over Iwobi at either flanks, no?

 

[Rain Dance]

Surely Joel deserves a place over Theo at either flanks, no?

Yes

 

[WurzlSepp]

Yes

This is what i don't get, why is Walcott starting at all?
Campbell can do everything way better except running fast.

I honestly wonder whether Campbell wasn't a Wenger-approved signing or something. That's the only reason I can think of as to why he is soooooo out of favour.

she really did a job on Park

Campbell is average, some of you lot are mental.

Even IF he is average, he offers a lot more than Walcott and also Ox, cause he has got a football brain compared to those two geniuses.

unfortunately, he has not shown anything except some good moments.

3 Goals in 11 starts.

Theo had 5 goals in 15 with 1 MotM

 

[MaraDon]

sell him already.

 

[skip spence]

sell him already.

We're not a selling club any longer. We hold on to 'em until they die of old age.

When he carried us to the CL knockout stage last season, he showed more than what Theo Walcott has shown in a whole decade.

You have no clue about skills, possession, build up play, passing etc. This player CLEARLY has more to offer, defensively AND offensively, to our 'unique' wenger-style football (which seems to be mostly ad-lib anyway) than ramsey, ox & theo. You are mental to enjoy the on-balance brainless antics of those 3.

maybe he did, but that seems to be his ceiling.

Our FW positions need to be game changers. Cannot depend upon defensive contribution alone.
