The good thing is that he is getting chances and his movement is a big part of that. That first goal wouldn't be possible with Giroud up front. His finishing was awful though, he needs to be a lot more ruthless and clinical. Next Saturday he might not get as many chances to put one in. I think he was putting pressure on himself to prove he can play up front, but now that he's got a goal he needs to kick on.
That Gabriel elbow was beautiful. Arnautovic must have thought he was elbowing Fabregas or something. Got gooned on.
Absolutely. Can Wenger swallow that arrogance and put out a proper team designed to do a specific job against a defence that's in bits right now? Or does he know better as usual?

He pretty much always gets chances for himself, that's a testament to his movement and pace, but he needs 4-5 chances to score 1 and until he becomes more clinical and composed he won't convince many. It's frustrating because that take and finish yesterday was great but it came after we were banging our heads at wall because of his earlier missed chance, and that sums up the split opinion of him.Behave...

On a related note, the ball from Ozil was superb, Theo is an outlet he rarely has to aim for because we never have anyone playing off the shoulder of a defender.
Chelsea have a non attacking LB so logic says we play Oxlade and give them something to think about. Ivanovic has been dire all season, we must go wide and test him. their CBs have been making mistakes, we have to make sure we attack them with pace and stretch them.
If Wenger plays the slow tippy tappy shite he usualy does in a big game then we we wont win, simple.
Wrighty made a few good observations on MOTD last night. He showed how Walcott's movement in the centre is almost non-existent and how he only really sparks when he's coming from the wing and cutting in. Walcott is so obviously more effective out there, wonder why he's so determined to play centrally when he's not good at it? Theo wants a run of games so he can establish himself centrally - now many goals will it cost us to give him that run? He has to play wide and Bif has to play centrally. The real problem is Wenger's refusal to choose 2 from Ozil, Cazorla and Ramsey. He's determined to play all 3 all the time no matter the opponent.

Yup it's pretty much nailed on that we'll help Chelsea turn their season around.
Agreed. The problem is Ramsey had the season of his life 2 years ago, not just for the goals but his tackling stats were through the roof. He was pretty much the complete midfielder but unfortunately he hasn't come anywhere close to replicating that form. WUMger has always had a huge amount of trust in him, even before he really arrived in 13/14.
I would be interested to see how we'd function without Ramsey in the team, and in his place one of Theo or Oxlade out wide.
Wright said no such thing about movement from wide positions being better.What were you watching? He showed an example of bad movement where he didn't run to the back post for Bellerin's cross and said he has to learn that. Next he said he made a fantastic run but blamed Ozil for passing to Ramsey. Showed another good run from the centre where he was in on goal but should have shot with his right foot.
Wright was critical and fair. Said he believes Walcott has the tools to play there but needs a run of games to get clinical. Praised his goal for the touch and finish.
We can try Bif up front but he doesn't get the chances on goal. It's rare to see Bif get chances where he can score a hat trick. Very rare and he'd have never scored that first goal.
Ideally you play Theo on the right and Giroud up top. Wenger doesn't seem to trust Theo on the right any more, though.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
