Use our rumours form to send us arsenal transfer rumours.

So enough people moan about Ozil and coach eventually makes the change!

Now Wrighty starts on the forwards:

"I'd try and get both of them in the team and get more players from the defensive point of view, " the former Arsenal striker said on his official YouTube channel.

"We shouldn't be having two strikers as potent as they are and one of them is on the bench. It doesn't make sense.

"It just feels like for 45 minutes we're depending on one man, when we've got two that we could be depending on. Plus there isn't enough goals coming from other areas. We need to have our most potent goalscorers on the pitch. I'd start both of them against Spurs because they would be afraid of that. "

Hopefully coach takes tips on that selection.

Then may be he listens to midfield feedback and then the defence to sort out based on feedback.

Then we get "polls" at halftime to sort out subs and we've fixed our issues 😂😂😂😂😂.

I think 9/ 10 people would play both up top with Mesut behind them as it does seem crazy to have any of the 3 on the bench while Iwobi and Miki play ahead of them, ok if know miki had a really good game v Bournemouth but he's not due another until late May now going by his precious years with us and United before that.

Love Wrighty but five goals on Wednesday and five different scorers! Pretty sure Sokratis and even Mustafi scoring recently! Apart from Wednesday my big big bare is not using Auba’s pace! Lethal but we don’t exploit it enough COYG.

you always need options from the bench if you need a goal and you start with 2 strikers it make it harder to make changes from the bench to change the game, i think that's why on most occasions its only 1.

Tomorrow Dick can leave out or include who he likes and if we win without playing well no one will care but if he makes bizarre selections and we lose people won't be happy.

Emery should go to the team page and banter page here to help him pick our best side and formation

To be fair - Wenger could have done better in the last few years visiting here to help on transfers 😂😂😂😂

Both could have benefitted from defence coaching 😂😂

COYG - let’s enjoy the Wembley turf and put on a show - don’t try to keep a clean sheet by crappy defensive selections and dropping Ozil - we aren’t good enough or organised enough to do that. Even crappy Bournmouth with their inept away record created danger early doors and Matteo gifted them a goal. Defending just ain’t us right now.

3 at back 5 in midfield ( Ozil in the hole ) 2 up front - simple and sensible. Put tough hard workers on the flanks - Kola and Jenkinson if you want to be a little safe but please leave 3 at the back. Don’t put one up front as they will get lost.

Let's hope defending can be us today SY mate because it's unlikely Spurs will be as wasteful as the teams we've faced recently have been.
We need to find a performance like the ones we found at home against Spurs and Liverpool where we attack but also restrict the opportunities we allow Spurs to have.

Agree0 Disagree1

62 - unfortunately Emery is that 1 in 10 who just doesn’t get it or can’t handle a big player. What does that say about our ambitions as a club?

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Mar 2019 10:10:21
Like Keown stated - he must play Ozil and That’s a defender stating that about us! Says it all. We must come out strong and aggressive in attack. W just can’t defend with confidence.

If we went 2 up in the first 10 minutes -who would say that’s 3 points in the bag? With 80 to play, even against relegation fodder, I would not bet on us getting a win.

Agree1 Disagree0

If Dick can get us through these United and Spurs games undefeated then I will be impressed SY if he can get us 4pts from them that's fantastic and 6pts would be extremely impressive, for me It's Dick who gets the plaudits or the stick for results so it's up to him who he picks but the more difficult his selection is for people to understand before the game the more stick he will get If it goes wrong after the game, that's how it works for every manager Klopp Pep everyone.
Arsene or Dick the expectations should be the same and the more bizarre and difficult to understand thier decisions the more their decisions need to pay dividends.
0 points from United and Spurs and Dick will be under immense pressure and those wins against Huddersfield Southampton and Bournemouth will be but a distant memory few even care about any longer.

Big game tomorrow

The toot will be up for it. We need to be bang on form.

This is our biggest game in 2 years. A win I will be confident of a top 4 finish

I'm going for a 1-3 win.

Huge next 2 league games! Season defining, win both, have a strong grip on 4th, and be breathing down spurs neck, lose both drop down to 6th and have it all to do! Mental season, spurs have seemed to be getting results, while we have been pretty average, they beat dortmund 3 nil then could of gone within 3 points off the top instead after 2 more games if they lose to us they will be 12 points behind and only 1 ahead of us! Spurs doing what they do, I thought when it was labelled a 3 horse race spurs would finish 4th! 😂.

Like it Eden :-)
Big tests both Spurs and United games can't offered to lose either really and losing both would be terrible both for morale and top 4 hopes.
Win both and Dick will have people eating out of the palm of his hand but if we get exposed badly at the back in either then he will need to put his tin hat on and bunker down for the onslaught that will surely follow.
The stakes are high for Ole Poch and Dick alike and there will be no hiding place for any of them should their team get done badly But the rewards will be brilliant for whoever delivers above and beyond fans expectancy levels.

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Mar 2019 14:17:08
Even if we win this we're only 3/ 4 of the way through and anything can happen. These next two games are huge but I'm not getting my hopes up - we don't travel well to Spurs very often and United are putting together a good run. It's the hope that kills you!

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Mar 2019 14:21:49
Wembley pitch always seems huge and lots of room isn't usually good news for us at the back, if only we could have a wembley size half to attack into and a tennis court size half to defend:-)

I'm likeing it mate, seems only right to me too :-)

I think on the face of it they are important games and they are but win lose or draw, it won't be defining. But two positive results will send out a statement and bring spuds right back in the fight. They will be expecting a home win and anything less would be a mini crisis.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Mar 2019 22:15:02
I like it Steve :-) anything less than a win for Spurs would be a mini crises for but two defeats for us against Spurs and United wouldn't be defining :-)
Talk about positive spin :-) how Arsene could have done with you in his camp, not to mention the labour party Hilary Clinton and the remain campaign :-)

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Mar 2019 23:46:31
Gunner, spuds were a few weeks ago in second and we were miles behind in 6th. Now we are into fourth and they expect to expand the gap again at home. If they dont, believe me, it will put them in crisis and in touch of us, utd and chelski, who were all way out of sight three weeks ago. They were challenging for the "title" after Saturday and a draw with utd and chelski having routine game, they will be in the mix for the top six trophy. that's a crisis after what they were aiming for.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2019 00:06:46
Steve have you been attending spinning classes :-)
When Ole took over United they were 8 points behind us and beaten Chelsea Spurs and Arsenal away from home while we've beaten Huddersfield away and Southampton and Bournemouth at home.
Take your pick positive or negative spin it's spin all the same and what happens tomorrow will say more in reality than what all the spin in the world can twist.

Agree0 Disagree1

Steve you’d go nuts if Wenger didn’t beat Spurs and United and I will be if this clown doesn’t!

He’s already on borrowed time.

That's the thing Stoner, surely the bar is set where we fans set it regardless of the personality.
Leno or Cech we want the same job done regardless of who is in goal and to make excuses for one of the twos mistakes yet hold the other accountable isn't a balanced view but a personality competition.
Losing to both United and Spurs would have been defining under Arsene so the same has to be true of Richard too.

Agree1 Disagree1

02 Mar 2019 10:03:23
Stoner, this is the really annoying thing. Not the double standards but the low standards people are happy to accept. We can’t defend because w are crap and no players. Papa, Mav and Licht plus Kos etc. Even if they are poor - surely a half decent coach who’s seen a game of football can install organisation and tactics and a defencive level above crap.

It’s shocking that people aren’t making a bigger deal of his lack of organisation, touchline communication, pressing, working as a unit.

At least players and commentators and fans are beginning to question Emery - not to sack him to to raise the expectation and question some of his dumb ass decisions

So what if we are in Four - it’s what we see for next season and after. How is he coaching the team, setting them up, how boring are they to watch, do we revert to basics of removing creativity to try but fail to sort the defence, do we actually know what our best set up is yet.

The bar can’t get much lower and still Emery is struggling to clear it and yet people are happy.

What has he done to imp over the defence? Our biggest weakness

What’s he done so our biggest weakness doesn’t get exposed in games by others charging forward?

His standing on the touchline - why doesn’t he do something. We gave him a wooh for high giving players in preseason ( load of crap ) . If he doesn’t or didn’t know our dteam fenc wnd midfield was broken then he shouldn’t have been hired.

If he doesn’t know Ozil who just signed a huge contract is our best player and needs the team building around him - why is the manager here?

Injuries - yes

Excuses for not coaching or getting people to coach the defence - that’s gross misconduct in most jobs.

Ha ha gunner the king of spin is telling the apprentice. Lol. I am talking about spuds because we are playing them, i will get to utd later.

{Ed001's Note - no there isn't any more. We have had a couple but not had an Arsenal ed for a long time. If anyone wants to do them we can sort them out a log in to FNV to post them up.}
