Wenger worried?
Arsene Wenger probably does not know if he should feel happy, relieved or worried after yesterdays 2-2 draw at Everton.Everton will not lose too many games at Goodison Park this season and so a draw is a respectable result for Arsenal.
The worrying aspect for Arsenal after the Everton game, and also last weeks game against Crystal Palace is that Arsenal just dont look convincing. Late goals for Arsenal in both games showed character , but both games showed Arsenal to have problems. Problems that may need urgent action if Arsenal are to win trophies this season.
Arsenals midfield has undoubted talent ,and yet it fails to deliver. Too many question marks about Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain and others. For me, there are too many similar players in Arsenals midfield. Arsenal need players that have a specific role and not just a collection of players who offer similar problems to opponents.
Walcott returning and one or two signings may help fix this problem. At the present time there is not enough pace , and defensively Arsenals midfield needs to be stronger.
Transfer rumours appear almost every day linking Arsenal with "holding midfield players", and Arsene Venger must sign at least one if Arsenal are to compete well in the Barclays Premier league and also in this seasons champions league.

Arsene Wenger unhappy with Ramsey red card
Arsene Wenger has criticised the decision to send Aaron Ramsey off during Arsenals' 0-0 Champions League draw against Besiktas.
Ramsey was sent off in the 80th minute for a second yellow card.
Wenger was furious with the decision after the game.
"We could have won it but they had chances as well. In the end we didn't lose and hopefully we will make it at home," he told ITV.
"Both yellow cards for Aaron Ramsey are unbelievable When you see the fouls they have made today it's not serious. Just not serious.
"It was a game played with a frenetic pace. We didn't lose the game and hopefully we'll finish the job at home."
It was Ramsey's first red card of his career, and means he will be unavailable when Besiktas travel to the Emirates next week for the second leg of the tie.

Napoli star to Arsenal?
Arsenal are showing an interest in Napoli's Eduardo Vargas.
The 24 year old has been cut from Napoli’s Champions League squad for the qualifying round,
This means if he was to move to Arsenal Vargas would not be cup-tied for Arsenals Champions League campaign.
This is seen as a clear indication that Vargas will be leaving Napoli in this transfer window.
Valencia are also said to be interested in signing Vargas. Vargas was on loan at Valencia last season, and impressed the club enough into considering a permanent move.
Last season, for Valencia, Vargas made 25 appearances, scoring five goals before being picked for Chile’s 23-man World Cup squad.

Robbie Savage put this on his Twitter page on Sunday Evening.

Community Shield result - Arsenal 3 Manchester City 0
An excellent all round team performance from Arsenal, with flair, style and quality in all departments. A determined and well organised Arsenal team showed they are more tha ready for the forthcoming season.
Ok its a friendly, and pre season ,but this performance will give Arsenal supporters renewed belief, and optimism for the coming Premier League season.
Arsenal started the game well with a positive and forceful approach to the game.Fitness levels and confidence looked good in all areas of the pitch.
Arsenals first goal came in the 21st minute courtesy of a finely taken goal by Cazorla. A sweet strike with his magic left foot from the edge of the penalty area.
Arsenal were working very hard off the ball, and Manchester City struggled to get any rhythm into their game. Arsenal supporters were enjoying the day!
After 42 minutes Arsenal increased the lead with a typical Ramsey goal. Some fine work on the edge of the penalty box from Sanogo led to a pass to Ramsey.An excellent first touch by Ramsey created a clear opportunity for himself to slot the ball passed Caballero, the Manchester City goalkeeper. 2-0 to The Arsenal!
Manchester City seemed rocked by being outplayed, and outfought in the first half, and Arsenal were worthy of being 2-0 up at half time.
The second half was much the same. Manchester City did get back into the game with some good passing and movement, but Arsenal defence coped well.
The goal of the game came in the 61st minute with a fine strike from well outside the penalty box from Giroud. A superb left foot strike made the score 3-0 to Arsenal.
A well deserved win for Arsenal, and another trophy makes its way to the Arsenal trophy cabinet.
Cazorla's goal after 21 minutes

Samir Nasri says Arsenal fans are stupid
Samir Nasri has blasted the "stupid" Arsenal fans for holding a grudge against him for signing for Manchester City in 2011.
The 27-year-old has lifted the Premier League title twice in a three-years at Eastlands, and the midfielder has said that financial gain was not his primary motive in leaving Arsenal.
"I just think the abuse I get is stupid. I'm not an Arsenal fan, I am not from London," he told The Mirror.
"To be honest we are players and we are just looking at what are the best interests for us and our careers.
"When Manchester City came for me it was the best choice to come here. Since coming to City I have won trophies and I have a better life so I am really happy about everything."
Wenger backs Wilshire
Arsene Wenger has said that Jack Wilshire is ready to make an impact following his injury problems.
The 22-year-old has been restricted to 86 appearances for Arsenal in 6 years.
However, Wenger claimed that this could be the season when Wilshere shines for Arsenal.
"He was until now a doubt a little bit through injuries," The Telegraph quotes Wenger as saying. "At the top-level you need to be consistent with your presence.
"You can play six, seven, eight games and rest one or two but you have to play six, seven on the trot. I think he will be capable of doing it. He prepares well. He has no ankle problem any more. It could be his year."
Arsenal face Manchester City in the Community Shield this afternoon kick off 3pm.

Agger........do - Swop Anfield for Arsenal?
Today we hear that Arsenal are interested in Liverpool's Daniel Agger.
If true, this must be an indication that Vermaelen is on his way out of Arsenal.
UK radio pundits seem to think Agger would be happy to leave Anfield, and sign for Arsenal in this Transfer Window.
A good signing for Arsenal?.......................I think so.

Vermaelen .....................Big Decision?
 |
| Should I stay or should I go? |
Vermaelen, like many other top players is weighing up his options in this transfer window. Last season was frustrating for Vermaelen and top European teams are big admirers.
Arsene may well have an impossible job on to keep Vermaelen at Arsenal. General opinion is that Vermaelen will be sold, but Arsenal are not keen to offload him to a Barclays Premier League team.
Having said that, I would not be surprised if Chelsea or Manchester United sign him. As a long shot - take a look at Liverpool signing Vermaelen.
Khedira latest....
Reports from Spain indicate that Real Madrid are looking to offload Khedira.
Arsenal are very interested -but wage demands seem to be the problem so far.
Arsenal need Khedira. He could make a big difference to Arsenal this season.
A waiting game? Yep..............but my guess is that Khedira will be an Arsenal player in this transfer window.

Arsenal.........................
Firstly, Arsenal fans dont expect much difference from last season. Ok you have signed Alexis Sanchez - a good player. But Arsene will do what he always does. Stick to his outdated principles - and the season will be only slightly better than last year.
Arsene is a good man, and good manager but he fails to see other teams dont hesitate in getting rid of overrated players. Does he not look at Manchester City or Chelsea and see that their managers simply will not be patient - they cannot afford to -they will be sacked. But Arsene waits patiently for the sun to come up and win The Barclays Premier League and it wont for Arsenal.
Great team to watch - but not winners.Too many passengers.
In short the following must be done IMMEDIATELY if Arsenal have even the slightest chance of winning or runners up in the Prem.
Firstly, the goalkeeper - Szczesny. He has to go - he is suited to a team in mid table - and I am being kind here. Do Arsenal supporters really think he is a top keeper? - dont be stupid. If he goes on the transfer list today could you see Chelsea, Manchester City ,or European giants coming in for him? - no chance mate.
Keepers can win you games - and this season he can, and almost definetely will lose Arsenal games.
Secondly, Gibbs has to go. Yes he's ok but not in the class of a top defender. Also with many teams moving to a 3-5-2 formation he is lost in that. Just not good enough. When you think of the class of Ashley Cole at Arsenal a few years ago, how can you replace him with Gibbs or Monreal?
Next is yes -you guessed it - Monreal - sorry mate but sign for Stoke or Newcastle or Hull - thats my advice for him,and for Arsenal.
Whilst on the subject of defenders, what the hell was Arsene thinking of when he signed Debuchy? - Newcastle fans hardly cried buckets when he left. Ofter found lacking in his defensive qualities - watch out for him being out of position many times - it will cost you Arsenal.
Arteta is past his sell by date and there must be better than what he has to offer? Arteta picks the ball up in acres of space in his own half and passes to the Arsenal lad standing next to him - thats it.Nothing else. Dont give me his "range of passing garbage" - long gone. Off to Spain or Italy asap.
Wilshere is an interesting one - rated him a year or two ago but reckon he has been far too laid back and used the ' had injuries' ticket too much. Take a look at Ramsey mate - and do what he does. Would not surprise me that Wilshere is off somewhere in January 2015 if he dont buck his ideas up.The same can be said for Podolski and Cazorla.
Giroud - He should thank Arsenals midfield for making him look better than he is. Overrated and lazy - just want to score the odd goal, and work on his hair gel too much. No wonder Arsenal signed Sanchez.
Arsene - sign Khedira, and make a cheeky attempt (like you did for Suarez) for Schweinsteiger- expensive ,but do you want to win this Premier league or not? With those two,and Ozil you can challenge.
In conclusion, Arsenal will be lucky to be in the top four at the end of the season. I predict 5th.- and dont blame injuries. If Arsenal win the league I will paint my head.
prediction - 5th
Key player - Sanchez
Sell - Szczesny, Arteta, Monreal, Gibbs.
Dont sell - Vermaelen,- a serious mistake if you do sell.
prediction for next game - Arsenal 1 Crystal Palace 1
