    Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere Should Keep Playing in a Wider Position

    Maybe Jack Wilshere prefers playing as a central midfielder, a playmaker in the classic sense. But considering the squad Arsenal have and the system Arsene Wenger deploys, time and time again it’s been proven that the English international is a lot more useful when he plays in a wide position, almost as a winger.

    Arsenal FC – Mathieu Flamini More Important Than Mesut Ozil

    Without Mesut Ozil, Arsenal aren’t sudden title contenders and league leaders in the Premier League, but they weren’t exactly short on creativity in the midfield before his arrival. However, bringing back Mathieu Flamini gave the team a real defensive midfielder and not a converted one for the first time in a very long while, happening to be the biggest reason for their success this season.

    Success erases anger and doubt.

    When it was announced that Mathieu Flamini would be the second signing for Arsenal this summer, few thought that the return of the Frenchman, five years after he left to Italy, would bring the necessary toughness and “badness” this team has been missing for so long.

    Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil Makes the Champions Dream Possible

    Only one big signing, and suddenly everything seems to be completely different. Mesut Ozil hasn’t been at his finest since arriving at Arsenal, but whatever he’s done so far has been enough to put the Gunners on top of the Premier League and be overflowing with confidence about their chances of finally being an integral part of the title race.

    Arsenal FC – Aaron Ramsey Thriving For the First Time Ever

    Complaining about squad depth didn’t come with warrant, but at the moment, there isn’t too much wrong with Arsenal, who have now won six consecutive matches in all competitions, and are enjoying, maybe for the first time, an Aaron Ramsey they dreamed about when he first arrived from his Welsh club, and was seemingly lost forever after his awful injury.
