Arsenal's Curse of the Last 16

Arsenal are out of the champions league in the round of 16 for the last 5 years.

Arsenal paid the price for lazy performance in the first Leg. They were very poor in the first leg played at the Emirates Stadium.Last minute goal which was conceded proved costly. Its very difficult for any team for a come back after a 3-1 loss.This leaves us with the question of Arsenals inability to win games that matters.

What can Arsenal do to get over this. Firstly the loose mentality of players has to change.
There has to an urge which is not currently seen regularly and only seen in crisis situation .
Arsenal has to revamp the back 4 and bring in a strong and  commanding midfielder like Vieira.

 Its time for arsenal to find a replacement for Mertesacker .Not ignoring his contributions to the Arsenal team. But its time for Arsenal to move over to a more dynamic central defender.Also If they believe as a team they could at least finish second in the premier league considering the current slump of Manchester City.

Arsenal VS West Brom Saturday, 21 November, 8:30 PM IST

Arsenal face West Brom on Saturday evening Indian time. Arsenal would try to continue where they left  but try to improve on the performance against arch rivals Tottenham. Considering the chances Gunners  had in front of goal ,would have hoped to collect all three points .But the fact they came back from behind and saved a point should help with the confidence. Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud are deeply affected by the happenings in Paris and Wenger says he will play them only after assessing the situation after speaking to both of them. Bllerin is expected to be back after missing the match against Tottenham.

Arsenal 2015-2016 Season Preview

Arsenal has great hopes on the new season .They had a very stable pre-season matches winning all of them. Most of the players are also in good shape with lesser injury worries. Alexis Sanchez return to the squad after the excellent display at Copa America will certainly boost morale at the team The big question does Arsenal have it in them to win the premier league this time around.With the addition of Petr Cech to their lines is a big boost to the title challenge. I would have been much happier if they added another striker.  With the season about to start as early as next week T he Community Shield should be a perfect plot to analyse  two of the best teams in the premier league . The best thing that has happend at Arsenal this time around could be that they never lost any important player and also was able to add a world class goal keeper. Arsenal surely is a title contender this time around.
