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 Just worth a Champions League Place Each Year

Arsenal regularly qualify for the champions league group stages each year. But that's the end each year. They are struggling compete with top European clubs. The only silver lining is the runner up trophy in 2006.Each year either they get Barcelona, Bayern or Milan or they play so poor as they did against Monaco at home and make sure that they are out of champions league at the earliest. Arsenal is one of the hardest top teams in Europe to be a fan of due to their inconsistencies and inability to win big games. When you keep all your work aside and sit to watch a Premier league match of Gunners against Man City, Liverpool, United or Chelsea you might not only get disappointed but also might think ' why am I supporting this club'.

The question we ask is that do we all support this club for this top four premier league finish or a champions league place. The answer is a BIG NO and not onl...

Olivier Giroud My Favorite Player from the current Arsenal Lineup

Giroud may be a prime reason for Arsenal's champions league exit. But Giroud is is a real fighter.Hope he makes up with a good performance in remaining Premier League and FA cup matches.As Wenger keeps on saying we should remember that Giroud used to play for french second division. Only because of the determination and hard work he has achieved his current success. So what makes him my favorite player. The main aspect i like about him is his ability to hold on to the ball. The second aspect is his passing ability, he is one of the best passers of the ball in the current arsenal line up.Also his presence in the line up provides more physical presence for a relatively non physical team. One negative aspect about Giroud is that he is a bit slow compared to other strikers you see around premier league and other major leagues across Europe
