Wenger’s Current Arsenal has lost it’s pace – We feel the need for the return of Speed

It is not whether Ollie G is Plan A or B but about selecting an attack for Opposition A or B
With the incorporation of Alexis, Lucas, Giroud, Ozil, Iwobi, Xhaka and Ramsey all in the same attack at various points of a game I think we can agree that this is our best attack for quite a few years.

Why are Arsenal Starting Games so Slowly and is there a short-term remedy?
One thing that I have noticed over the last few matches, particularly so in the Premier League match away to A.F.C. Bournemouth and the away F.A.

Credits for Perez, Chamberlain and the 20 minute Come-Back BUT So many Questions on 1st 70 Mins
Three so called easy games but only seven points collected, so what went wrong?
