What is the point of Ramsey, other than to troll the team.
He literally disrupts everything
I've never a seen a player at this level, be so useless for a team. It's almost as if his teammates just say fuck it, when they see him in the starting 11.
Cause no matter what Wenger Won't take him out
Completely irrelevant Letters. We didn't win either game. If my aunt had a cock, she would be my uncle!Quote:

Ozil may as well not have been on the pitch. I want to see more fight in him, not to give up as soon as someone puts a bit of pressure on him.
The defending was shocking too. Monreal is starting to lose 1v1s against every other team we play against now and should have conceded a stupid penalty today. I genuinely think he's finished now. Elneny and Coquelin should be shielding the back four but we saw very little of that yesterday. They left huge gaps in the centre all game and what do you know, Mata ended up scoring from one of those gaps.
Yeah Monreal is a concern. He's been roasted one too many times now this season, he needs a bit of a kick up the arse. Gibbs has been in the wilderness for long enough and deserves a chance again.
The only mental block is Wenger's.
Agree on Monreal, wouldn't be against Gibbs having a run in the side.
Wenger is doing Ramsey no favours by playing him out of position all the time he needs to play in the centre.Quote:

Monreal was fine last season, very solid. But if he's lost a yard of pace this season then he's definitely going to struggle in an Arsenal defence because Wenger's defensive style is:
Bus...
Defender...
Throw latter under former.
The way we defend is suicidal. Huge spaces left on the flanks that require lightening pace and awareness to get back and cover in the nick of time. Hence one yard of pace lost equals end of the road. Monreal looked awful when he first arrived (most likely he was shocked at the cavalier and disorganised manner in which we defend), but then he found a way to get to grips with the craziness. He'll likely get his form back and it's too early to bin him. He's not the main issue anyway. Our 30 mill guy Mustafi has looked damn ropey over the last few games.
We came to the same conclusion last season and he had his chance when Cazorla got injured. I have no faith in his ability to play in the centre either. Regardless of where he plays on the pitch, first rule of thumb should be to protect the ball. Yesterday, he was unable to do that and it kept costing us possession down. If he'd have played through the middle, I fear he'd have cost us a goal because Chelsea were closing in on us quickly. Besides that, he's also not that good when it comes to ball distribution and lacks discipline when with his positioning. That's another serious flaw to his game. He'll have to work harder to earn his place back in the middle.Quote:

I'm running out of ideas where Ramsey can play when he's playing like this. Wenger really isn't helping him be constantly selecting him. He needs a long period on the bench just to know his place isn't safe and that he needs to fight to get in.
