In August Alexis Sanchez was just out-voted by Calum Chambers for the Arsenal Player-of-the-month, but in September he easily topped the poll to win his first award. Now October comes to an end surely there is no other choice but to vote for the brilliant Chilean yet again.
Okay I think that Danny Welbeck should get a few plaudits for his (first ever) hat-trick against Galatasary and his last-minute equalizer against Hull, but for consistent week-in week-out performances there can only be one winner for me.
Alexis has been a breath of fresh air in a cold atmosphere in the Arsenal side (maybe not the best analogy!) but you only have to look at what the other Gunners have said about him this month to get my point across.
Welbeck: “It’s a pleasure to play with Alexis. He’s persistent, he keeps going and they are the attributes of somebody I like to play alongside.”
Flamini: “I’m very pleased to play with such a good player. “He’s giving a lot for the team, working very hard and also he’s making the difference. He’s a top player but what I also want to say is well done to him for working so hard. That’s very important and is making a difference. He’s played very well until now. We knew he was a top player and he’s proving it in every game.”
Wenger: “He kept going, Alexis. “He goes at you – he’s not frightened to go forward. Sometimes you think his passing is not quick enough but he’s very efficient and he really plays to win. He’s a winner.” (Maybe not quite so flattering!)
Oxlade-Chamberlain: “He’s a world-class player – everyone saw that at the World Cup. He’s proved that and he’s played for Barcelona where we’ve all seen what he’s done. He’s an unbelievable player and part of his game is his character and his hard work – that’s where he’s got both his goals from today.” (after Sunderland game)
Need I go on? Alexis has setlled in incredibly quickly, and he plays his heart out in every game. The other players should simply stop praising him and start trying to emulate the way he plays. He has SO much energy and enthusiasm, and to be fair anyone earning over 10 grand a week to play football should be exactly the same. Sanchez makes his team-mates look lazy!
So if you want to vote for him (or anyone else?) go to the official Arsenal site here….
I thought…..
Olivier Giroud
Mathieu Debuchy
David Ospina
Laurent koscielny
Theo Walcott
Serge Gnabry
Mesut özil
Abou Diaby
Would have a good chance this month. Oh wait a minute……
I heard there is a player of the month for the sick bay too.
Sick bay? Arsenal has joined the enterprise?
Another money making scheme….???
CURSE U IVAN !!!!
@muffdiver
“IVAN boldly going where no man has gone before(Or even wants to)”
Life at the sick bay must be good every player is dying to join in…
Oh wow so Wilshere didn’t get it? That is a surprise because our whole team is based on accommodating him.
At this rate, he could be EPL player of the season. Costa will alwaz get injured
Absolutely spot on…he should be first,second and third all together cos that’s just good he was whenever he stepped on the pitch.Can’t forget that beauty he scored against Southampton in the cup
this is what i call quality signing…we need more of such quality signings and play them at their best position………
Sanchez is our best signing not just this season, its last 10 years
Better than Ozil? :/
Did you see Ozil’s chances created stats at all? :/
lol…
Best in 10 years?
An what is squillaci ? Chopped liver?
Andre Santos for me….. And how the hell did we sign him the first place? lol
u dont ‘sign’ santos- u just become a part of his legacy
Sanchez plays cut loose football.
Chile used long passes from deep.
I would like to see Arsnal play
the same way instead of
a million short passes sideways and backwards
which allows the defense time to park the bus.
Gnabry Chamberlain Cazorla Ramsey Rosicky Wilshere
Wellbeck Podolski Gibbs Debuchi Bellerin even Sanogo
and yes Diaby prefer to attack not sit on the ball for hours.
But Wenger has them all on a leash thus his inference
about Sanchez not playing the Arsenal way.
Well please Sanchez don’t go into your shell and
deteriorate like so many others. Just go for it.
Is it only me who feels Welbeck has dropped little bit physically in recent games? Maybe he doesn’t think so highly of the number 9 role anymore 🙂 Must be pretty exhausting just running around up top on your own. Chasing and chasing and chasing. LoL.
For 16 million he better make like forest gump an keep running.
He wont be our first choice striker but he will get better,I like danny
This typifies the whole team.
Everyone is trying hard doing
their best, yes even Ozil
Giroud + Wilshere but there
is precious little “end product ”
from the Arsenal “way”.
The “Arsenal Way” in it’s original form with Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Ljungberg etc. was a marvel. Lightning-fast counters with 2-4 passes then bang. Sadly the incision is lacking now.
I am confident if Ozil plays centrally feeding Sanchez and Walcott we will be in for good times.
Alexis sanchez without a doubt! Coyg!
Don’t count out Arteta though. He was “MOTM” against Sunderland 😉
Last season Ramsey just let loose
and went for goal no matter what.
This seasons its the individual
brilliance of Alexis which is keeping us alive.
The Arsenal “way’ is ok against the weak
or mediocre but ineffective against any team of substance.
Wenger says we play a little bit with the handbrake on.
Thats because Wenger is applying the handbrake all the time himself.
No quality DM bought in the summer, lots of players hardly played
no tactics v the big teams sideways passing and scolding
any one who has a shot on goal from more than 2 metres out.
Unleash the team Arsene let them attack and destroy teams.
Arsenal 19 Burnley 1 well I gave them a goal to be kind 🙂
Exactly….
Why is it always so difficult to buy 2 quality DMs and 2 Qaulity Strikers ??
same shit every season
Is it too early to vote for player of the season?
No of course not .
You can even vote for the
player of the season for 2397 🙂
Unless you are voting for Wilshere it’s pointless. Wenger will buy up all the Frosties in a 3 mile radius of your house forcing you to have regular corn flakes if you vote for anyone else but Wilshere.
OT: Note to Wenger: Burnley played extremely well against Everton. Unlucky to lose. The attack and straight forward passing will have Mert overworking. Please do NOT take this game lightly!
