Beilik has been deployed in cb, but when in
the 1st team he has played cdm, I think that's where he'll be.
Not exact matches
In any event, if you
have more than 30 % turnover of players... you'll spend the
1st 10 games figuring out the system and how your
team mate
plays... even after the pre-season.
Poor ozil and sanchez, from
playing beside Ronaldo and messi they
have come down to a
team that
has a french kid from league 2 as 2nd chioce striker, not to mention the
1st choice.
Play him alternate weeks or during the English weeks or in the 2nd legs of UCL matches when we
've already demolished the
team in the
1st leg.
Here's a few things to remind you why it's silly: The Rangers won 10 games in a row last year, there were two week stretches of last season where the Angels were better than the Astros, the Angels
have yet to
play a serious contender, as already stated the Reds were
1st in the NL Central to start the season, the Brewers were in first until a little bit after the all start break (if I remember correctly), literally thousands of other examples of
teams starting hot and then finishing outside of the playoffs.
Now imagine if he
had been
playing either RW or CF in our
1st team with Ozil and Santi serving him perfect through passes.
I
have said a few times that MN
has potential and I want to see more of him, not only because he
has impressed me when
played with the
1st team (ok not great but still very good profress IMO) but because he can
play RM as well.
Some
teams this week
had dodgeball while others went to the outdoors for the
1st time this Summer and
played 16 ″ Softball.
he needs more games under his belt... The game against dortmund, he
has to start to get more
playing time... Casilla is not good enough to be the
1st team keeper for sure... not aggressive enough in all aspects of goalkeeping... Let kepa join in next summer.
People were talking about it because going into the playoffs, the Celtics were easily the
team out of the top 4 you feel most comfortable
playing — Raptors are the
1st seed, Cavs
have lebron, and the sixers
had won 16 straight.
He fielded 7 — 8 players who
would quite likely
play for the
1st team.
we
played our 2nd
team / 3rd
team... With a League Cup Final on Sunday some od you
would have crucified Wenger for
playing 1st team and anyone getting injured
The Frances Coquelin story
has been an incredible journey, but sadly his
play since returning from injury should be the final chapter on his
1st team inclusion.
If Alexis is going to sulk then throw him into the reserves, ban him from being around the
1st team, refuse to give him game time and make him realise
teams will be less likely to pay mega wages for someone who hasn't
played for 12 months...
We
play in the last fixture of the weekend knowing
1st place
team has dropped points, so we do the same.
Just
play a few
1st team players the ones that
had a go, (I think there were a couple).
Sanchez was very poor 2day & shld
have been substituted earlier bt the boss decided 2 remove Walcott instead, the
1st goal against us was supposed 2 be disallowed as Bellerin was struck down & injured, arsenal
played the
1st half without a recognised striker on the pitch meanwhile we
had 3 recognised strikers on the bench & finally why do we always
play with fear when we
play against a big
team?
We currently
have Giroud as the fully fit
1st team striker, super Sanchez
playing from anywhere
has scored a lot more goals and don't talk about injuries, even if you take them game for game Giroud is dead in comparison.
Mourihno rarely rotates players, just check out the minutes
played by his
1st 11, he
has a favoured
team and he sticks with them unless injured BUT they get injured a lot less than we do.
Wenger
would play most our bench / youth the first few rounds who rarely see
1st team action anyway.
The writer is on point on letting go of some players but the person I
would really like to see leave Arsenal
1st is Wenger, his responsible for assembling this
team and the way there
playing.
Oxlade 22
has been
playing in the Gunners
1st team starting XI as if he is still at the Hale End of the club.
They were
playing poorly and Wenger set the
team tactically ok even though he sould
have been more reactive after the
1st goal.
All four of these
teams were listed at +1000 or better by August
1st, so these
teams have been
playing solid ball for a while now.
inasmuch as i want to praise Jeff reine - Adelaide, i
'd be careful with the hype......... he's barely even
played 10games for the
1st team against League oppositions!
It does not matter if it's preseason or fielding youngsters, we never
play our games with a sense of urgency and if you think this
1st team is strong enough to win any honours come this season, then you must be in delusion or
have been duped.
Those net ratings are even more unimpressive when one considers that of the 27 games the Pistons
have played since February
1st, 14 were against
teams that were exhausted, tanking, or both.
Poor ozil and sanchez, from
playing beside Ronaldo and messi they
have come to a
team that
has a french striker from league 2 as 2nd chioce, not to mention the
1st choice.
He was a rare player who could add to a
team even if he was unfit, we can't
have a squad of players like that but 1 player... We
have enough u21 players who do not need to be in the 25 man squad but still
play, some of them should be pushing for
1st team now so we could easily
have covered for him.
They
played basically the same
team throughout the season and yet you come and ask such questions when you
have the answer tight in front of you,
1st and 2nd place.
Let's get it over with and hope that the
1st 3 games will be a small sample of something that will not be consistent over the course of the season... Like Ramsey said let's see in 10 games or so and see where they are not only in the table but also the way they
play... disappointed in the way we manage the transfer window but this
team can do great things let's see how far they go & how much magic can Wenger work with the belief he
has in the players enough not to buy somebody except Cech...
Its just sad seeing both Le Coq and Cech in a capital one game knowing there importance to the
1st team plus the amount of games they
have played.
I said in the last window that Alexis should be made to train alone and not be involved in the
1st team until he signs a new deal, if we
have to
play without him for 12 months then at least players will know that AFC hold the power, not them.
Would much rather see wenger waste money on a player that will
play in the
1st team and challenge some of our underperformers.
In the spirit of fair
play and being honest with yourself which players currently in Arsenal's
1st team would you actually want to keep.
Qualities: Giroud - Hold up (but not against top defenders Tery, Cahil, etc), short pass, hard working,
team player, defensive duties (set - pieces), injuries Benteke - Hold up, short pass, better dribbler, long shots, finishing, positioning, defensive duties (set - pieces), can
play with his back to the goal and also drop deep and face the goal when marked weakness: Giroud - very slow, easily marked, poor finishing (not wc finisher), technique Benteke - injuries, not a hard worker If you look the stats for the since 2012/2013, they
have almost similar records except that Benteke scored like total of 19 goals (correct me if I'm wrong) in his
1st season and also
have a decent record against top
teams, keep in mind he
plays for AstonVilla not Arsenal where you get much more chances and better players around.
That is not to say that he can't
play the position but there is not a single top
team that
would buy him to be their
1st choice.
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even
playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who
played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds
have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I
would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why
would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season
has even started... why
would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September
1st... why
would any manager who
has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words
have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of
having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might
have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led
team barely resembles that
team of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words
have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could
have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
I'm starting to believe there are some people here who
have a crush on Xhaka want to brain wash others with his display regardless good or bad and today he was clearly terrible and made two fatal mistakes and if compared to Elneny the later made the
1st goal assist and almost not one touch wrong on the ball despite the few back and side passes which were necessary against a
team playing zone defense intimidating any Arsenal player on the ball
To me, i feel xhaka is well needed in dis new formation (
d 3 -4-3) n moreso, he is a typical arsenal kind of player... can hold on to
d ball n distribute it with precision... all we need to succeed with dis new formation is to get a combative football
playing midfielder dat can win
d ball n move with it... in
d mould of naby keita, verrati n even Everton's gana can do
d job or better still, take renato sanchez on loan... doubt if he is going to get enough
playing time as he
would want at bayern dis season again coz of their luxury of midfield player, not sure if he will be in
d 1st team with vidal n thiago alcantara unbenchable n anceloti
having a soft spot for kimmich (just as wenger
has for Ramsey) I think if we propose a loan deal for renato sanchez dah bayern will grant it
of course, i get frustrated at the fact we buy 1 decent player and then all the pressure sits on their shoulders i feel for sanchez every game he works his arse off and he looks like he annoyed by some of the other players who ai nt up to it we
have a decent squad but we need
1st team cdm and a striker and a decent cb, look at bayern benatia, boateng, martinez, dante all being
played at cb but our only decent cb is kos, its not good enough i like mert but he ai nt gonna help us win the league,
would love arsene to finish this season with at least 1 more trophy and then try bring in pep guardiola he's the only manager similar to arsenal's style but i think he
would need a promise from the board for big funds
And how many
1st team matches
has Gabe and Gibbs
played so far this season.
time we catapulted this youngster up to join the
1st team — man city seem to
have no issue
playing young blood and we should be doing the same.
How many
1st team games
has he
played in the last 3 years?
Campbell
played alotta games in 2 / 3weeks the whole
1st team has that why tomight was wengers fault for not starting Gab and per is defo looking tired
chant might
have spurred the
team on especially when we are
playing so passively in the
1st half so yeah we are to blame as well, away we are amazing but at home we are not the best out there to be frank dare i say it we lack leaders in the stands as well.
When you start a 19 yr old kid who
has never
played for the
1st team before at the most intimidating atmosphere in all of Europe against the best counter attacking
team in Europe, when our whole
team is embarrassingly out of form, what do you expect to happen?
If he
has a good season which means: - Staying healthy (
playing min 80 % of the game the
team he goes to is schedule to
play)- Recovering his fitness (match fit, game speed reflexes...)- Sharpening skills & getting some goals & assists - Trusting the body From there he might get England call ups & of course
have a chance in the
1st team again not only as a sub.
Debuchy hasn't cemented his place in the
1st team and with Jenkinson coming back after
playing the full season for WHU it will mean we
have potentially a player to sell.
Sam Hinkie built the Sixers starting 5, cleaned up the
team after the Disastrous Andrew Bynum deal where Phila lost 2 Starters & 3 —
1st Round Draft picks, got their Cap space in Great shape so they can sign Any Max Free Agent they want & set them up w / a boat load of
1st & 2nd Rnd Draft picks for several more years to come (Phila
has 2 —
1st Rnd picks & 5 — 2nd Rnd picks in 2018) & he hired Brett Brown & implemented the
playing style & locker room culture that
have today &
have used for 5 years.
