Agony Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Wojciech Szczesny's father jumped to his son's defence and took aim at Arsenal's 'disastrous' rearguard after the keeper was lambasted following their 2-0 New Year's Day loss to Southampton. A former international goalkeeper with seven caps for Poland, Maciej Szczesny let rip in an interview with Polish sports newspaper Przegladu Sportowego. Germany centre back Per Mertesacker's agility was compared to that of a rhinoceros by the senior Szczesny, although it's widely recognised that the Gunners keeper was at fault for both goals. 'He made a mistake for the first (Southampton) goal, coming too far from the goal, but please look at the Arsenal defence - how these guys are playing is a disaster, but for some reason, nobody pays any attention to it. 'Laurent Koscielny should immediately have run (back) to protect Wojciech, and Per Mertesacker should have stood in the goal,' said Maciej. 'Unfortunately they did not do that and gave him zero support, and in that situation Mertesacker showed the agility of a rhinoceros. 'Wojciech is often paying for it (the mistakes), and that he really cares. He needs someone who will critically analyse every game with him, but also remain positive. 'Someone should support him but the coaching staff at Arsenal are not doing that, meanwhile the entire defence this season is an embarrassment.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2901841/Arsenal-embarrassing-Mertesacker-rhino-says-Wojciech-Szczesny-s-dad.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting Weight Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Walcott isn't going to be obsolete through any tactical shift Direct running is still needed from the midfield / wide areas Plus he contributes near enough 20 a season all comps And still will get more goals than Welbeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting Weight Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 He has severely reduced contract leverage, Wenger said something like 'it's always difficult with him' when referring to negotiations back a couple months ago He pulled that shit when he delayed signing until the last minute last time when there was an exodus of important players, he can't do it now...no huge payrises, no requests granted to play through the middle....or take freekicks.

TF S4DK Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 If he doesn't get injured again, he has the same leverage he always had, that come June, he has one year left on his deal... All he has to do is show glimpses and stay fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leverage he had with his last contract saga when Van Persie had just left and Giroud was in the works and about to sign, and could have left for free the following summer He doesn't have the same importance to the first XI that he did previously 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I don't blame him if he does try and push for that big contract again cos after his pace goes he might as well retire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walcott is about so much more than the 11, smfh. To "lose" Walcott to another English club on a free, is a fail in so many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Rollins Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 When starting 11 are all fit Walcott starts on the right. What's all this talk about him not making it here? 1. He's still probably over the course of a season our top English scorer when played (don't watch him now), 2. Pace and directness on the right, Sanchez either central or moved left.

Seth Rollins Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Cazorla will pay the price now Özil is back. Rosicky needs to play more second half of the season. Our little Mozart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
