Chez aka Alexis CAN Lead Arsenal to Glory...if Wenger does His Part



What more do you want me to say about Chez that I already haven't? What more does he need to do to prove that he IS one of the best players in the world? Quite comfortably a top five player. And the fact is this; he can lead Arsenal to Premier League glory with the way the season has already started...but a certain Frenchman will have to fulfill his own end of the bargain as well.


Sanchez is a one-man wrecking ball. He can literally carry a team on his back because of how dynamic and explosive he can be. You have to remember that he was suffering from fatigue after winning the Copa America. So he couldn't be to his best when he was brought in initally this season, but once he now got his flow back, three G's against Leicester and another two against United. He has simply showed that he is the most dangerous footballer all round in the Premier League.






Hazard may have been player of the season last year, deservedly so, but once the going gets tough you have seen he can't rise above that. Aguero is just a pure finisher, but doesn't have the movement, dribbling and one-man mentality that Chez has. That is why he is pretty much the one player I would put above any other in the Premiership. It's then pretty obvious that once you have such a baller like this, you are more than capable of winning the Premier League.  However, having a player like this alone isn't enough to just be handed the title...you need to have a team to back it up.

This is where our good friend Wenger comes in. After having that really good group of players that included Fabregas, Hleb, Nasri, Adebayor and Diaby...then losing them, it looked like Arsenal would never ever see the title again, under Wenger's tutelage. Then Barcelona, inexplicably, gave Chez away and Arsenal were the fortunate ones to take him. Now, after losing that really talented group that could have gifted them another title, they have been blessed with another chance to put that right with the Chilean monster in their team.

But it is important that Wenger works on that defense, gets the midfield working hard and being strong and resolute. That he tweaks the positions of players during a match. Shifting from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3 depending on how the game is going. He cannot simply expect to just play the same exact way for the entire season and by some miracle, the title falling into their lap. That has been the folly of City, and why they have dropped points when they ought not to. It's that Wengeritis thang of just trying to fit a triangle through a square peg again and again, hoping that it will just fit after the thousandth time.


Sanchez is just an element, a very important element, but just one. Back with the invincibles, Arsenal had an incredible TEAM. It wasn't just Henry, but a Seaman in goal, Sol Campbell commanding the back four, Vieira controlling the game, Bergkamp creating, and Henry being that icing on the cake. Arsenal still have a good team but are very much in the shadow of the invincibles. They have to use more tactics and have different setups in order to WIN games. Not play well and look pretty but WIN games. Chez is the kind of player that can WIN games for you, but the team has to be pulling in the right direction as well.
