a.k.a. nasri_8 and Voice of Flamini
they are put into situations they should not be in - that is due to organization or more correctly lack of it
they obviously have conflicting marching orders because they should not really be making decisions - they should have standing orders on what to do, or atleast only a couple of choices, now they gotta plan it all themselves on the fly
Do you see our players making these mistakes in their prior clubs? no
FFS players leaving us now are having a revival, frekkin Gabriel who looked horrible here is solid for Valencia
Walcott hit the ground running
We paid over a billion for two strikers who previously were close to 1/1 game/goals ratio
both are below 2/1 ratio for us
Do you see them doing it for their national team? no
Big clubs are still after our players, just look at Juve pulling at Bellerin now. their scouts see behind our lack of organization.
Occasionally its obvious our failings are due to poor organisation & set-up but for the majority of the time, with Arsenal, I seriously believe its the players being lacklustre which leads to bad results.
The two goals United scored against us earlier in the season, City's first goal in the cup final, the midfield's inability to control and stabilise the game against Bournemouth after Bellerins goal, I can go on forever really; there are countless of instances this season where the Arsenal players have shown a real lack of nous and footballing intelligence. I will say this current team since 2015 has lacked a leader on the pitch, ever since the presence of Arteta & to a lesser extent Mertersacker is no longer there its noticeable we've struggled to manage certain phases of games effectively.
There's a major difference playing for sides such as Everton, Valencia etc compared to Arsenal; the biggest club in one of the worlds most popular Cities renowned for playing attacking football. Those guys you mentioned just couldn't cut it in this team & Bellerin plus a couple of the other current players are probably in the same category; times are tough with United, Liverpool and Sp**s getting better in the last couple of seasons, there is no place for mediocrity at this football club. The players that lack the intelligence along with the ability to take initiative under Wengers system need to leave.
