Not exact matches
referring decisions also go in our favour, for instance that dortmund
goal sanogo scored was clearly offside, these things are apart of football, GREAT teams overcome these obstacles, GREAT teams do not crumble with 3 or 4
goal leads, GREAT teams do not concede 3 +
goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut
chances to score, united have academy players in defence, in fact our defensive players are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have had an injury list just as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result, so why
on earth are united in the title race and not
arsenal?
goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many
chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based
on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.
Arsenal has Giroud as the main cf and Welbeck as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some
goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based
on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations as a player costs
arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok for us but a striker who can take
on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works
on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of
goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works
on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in
arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but as the saying goes if you fool me once shame
on you but if you fool me twice shame
on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
Arsenal bounced back from 1 - 0 down and Olivier Giroud put us 2 - 1 just ten minutes from the end, and we were desperately holding
on when Diego Costa had a great
chance from close to Ospina's
goal, but he somehow managed to stop him hitting the net.
They were humbled 4 - 2 by Southampton last week, and after they were meekly beaten by Gareth Bales
goal for Madrid, Paul Meron thinks that
Arsenal should have little problem
on Sunday.He said: «If there's ever a
chance for
Arsenal to win at the Etihad again, this is the game.
The fact that
arsenal had 74 % possession but only 8 shots
on goal illustrates part of the problem that we currently have, creating real
chances.
This is exactly the type of versatile player that
Arsenal need right now, as he can play as a winger or a striker, and anyone who can score 8 La Liga
goals in 10 games (while not playing for Madrid or Barcelona) is definitely worth taking a
chance on, especially for a price that works out at just over 14m GBP without any haggling.
Sanogo may be fortunate in his
arsenal stay, because of injury, no team will be looking to take
on an injured player (only
arsenal), which may be a blessing in disguise, because his recovery more than likely will be after the window closes, so if i was him i would try get some
goals in the under 23 games and hopeful that will get him into the cup games or even the
chance at the Giroud role again.
The Gunners are now withing touching distance of Man City and just one result could see us overtake them at the top, which is why Wenger and his comments
on the
Arsenal website sounded thankful to our local rivals for giving
Arsenal the
chance to close that gap to the leaders and why he feels the late
goal against Burnley was so vital.
With Alexis Sanchez in the team though, along with plenty more creation and
goal threat from Gunners like Cazorla, Walcott, Ramsey and the Ox, I think that
Arsenal will always have
chances to score, so maybe Wenger needs to focus more
on not conceding.
In all honesty
Arsenal played well we had very good position with loads of
chances and 13 corner kicks how come we are so crappy at scoring corners???? We need to start scoring the
chances we get from corners we could have easily beat southhampton by 4
goals but forster was good he got the 3 points off us MR wenger should go back to the drawing board as he has some options one of witch could the calling of welington silva or a reshuffle bring iwobi in elneny or new methods in tactics as in picking players and rehearse attacks strategy As for the referee I to felt done by him there was
on particular foul
on sanches that was not giving at the end we need to register our efforts and be clinical
Ignorant fans would tell you that «wenger is a poor tactician», but the board and some smart fans
on the other hand, know that
arsenal creates more
goal - scoring
chances than anyone else in the league.
until wenger really stresses
on defending and forgoes this «attack the whole game» policy,
arsenal do nt stand a
chance to win major honours.also do keep in mind, attacking whole game drains out the players.better to put handbrake
on and play when team has a 2 or 3
goal lead focussing
on keeping posession and positioning... but i guess wenger will always go for the «u score 3, we score 4».
Vossen ended a six - match
goal drought
on Saturday and will fancy his
chances against a defence that shipped five
goals against
Arsenal on the same afternoon.
I think the crowd noise at the Emirates is largely reflective of what we see
on the pitch; you rarely see an
Arsenal side at home dominate from start to finish, plenty of
chances, plenty of
goals.
If you've been the Emirates youll know only too well the games I mean,
Arsenal would have several hundred attempts
on goal but just couldn't score, and even though in times past the calmness and composure of Arsene would filter down to the players and the
goal would come (no matter how late) times had changed and now the players knew that if they missed that
chance or misplaced that pass the fans would groan or moan, and this led to the tension that has haunted the Emirates ever since.
Diego Costa gave Cheski this season what they needed, he scored
goals in an important match, remember the match
arsenal played against chelski at the bridge,
arsenal dominated the game and Costa was anonymous almost
on the entire game but just a single
chance he got from Fabrigas pass, he killed us and that is what a Top striker needed to do.
I tell you from a footballing point of view scoring 8
goals you got have players that know where the goal posts are it takes energy and creativity to score 8 yes I agree vikings changed their players because their league is starting i think tomorrow so yes they were not a big team team but to say that Arsenal were not strong thats a bit to much and I say it again you need energy and creativity to score 8 I was very happy they did that Arsenal are well known for creating chances yesterday they converted them chances into Goals this should be the norm and I hope this will give them a lesson on how to win a game as they did nt dwell about with the ball it was goal after goal and that tells me that they went for the goals directly and I hope and wish the young guns all the best and to do well in the next s

look at these players: Chambers: 16m Ox: 12m Welbeck: 16m... Plus their wages since they have been signed... Now ask yourself whathave they done for us??? I know chambers haven't gotten enough
chance... but 20m is not too much for
Arsenal to spend
on a
goal scorer eventhough it is a risk...
At first i thought the writer intended to write about Emmanuel Petit as he is a pundit for SuperSport but when i discovered it Adebayo his real name (Source from Nigeria and not Adebayor) it becomes even clear the more reason i should care less about whatsoever he's got to say about
Arsenal but trying to compare his stats is the height of ridicule i can imagine not forgetting his
goal ratio to
chances on goal at the service of Cesc etal.
Ramsey and Xhaka in the middle offer attacking threat as well so the boss is clearly planning
on a lot of
goals or at least giving
Arsenal the best possible
chance of breaking down a stubborn defence.
Ozil can create all the
chances he likes our strikers are not just good enough plus Ozil himself needs to improve
on his
goal contribution (a natural number 10 can work in a team like City, Madrid or Barca because they have WC forwards who burry the
chances created and have a good
goal return not at
Arsenal).
Arsenal always cerated
chances the difference to this match their
chances was registered
on the board this result should be the norm really Well done Looking forward to see more

If he plays like he did last Sunday, with some amazing touches and tricks to go with his vision and awareness of what is going
on around him, the German should be able to create enough
chances for
Arsenal to score
goals.
The reasons for the latest failure by
Arsenal have been and will continue to be the subject of heavy debate but one thing I think we can all agree
on is that the lack of
goals compared to the amount of possession and
chances was a major factor.
Following
on from this revelation it seems to me that
Arsenal have a good
chance of signing this top quality striker who scored over a
goal a game in the league last season and broke the long standing Serie A record.
Smith knows what it is like to be under great pressure to win the title as it was 18 years since
Arsenal had been champions and it looked like we had blown a great
chance when we went to Liverpool
on the last day needing to win by two
goals, but he scored the first and then Michael Thomas scored late
on to secure the title, as immortalised in the file Fever Pitch.
Bendtner or Chamakh would still have been considered average even if they scored 25
goals because they had average talent.For all the potential Bendtner had he never maximised it so as long asit wasn't developed he's still average.I mean it's possoble for an average player to score 25
goals when given the
chances and possible for a world class striker to score less than that.Quality is a talent which may be linked to stats but does not necessarily show
on stats.Take Ox for example, if you looked at his stats you might think he's average but he's not.Look at Lukaku, he's scored many
goals for Everton yetmany people here think he's not gpod enough for
Arsenal because they look at the quality and talent andnot just the
goals.
You could have been forgiven for thinking that our fourth
goal, scored by Olivier Giroud from the penalty spot in the secod half to put him
on 100
Arsenal goals, was not that important apart from his landmark, but it was quite handy in the end as Borisov pushed and created plenty of
chances.
The fact is that
Arsenal did not muster one shot
on target, and the only real
chance I remember is when Wilshere himself received the ball in front of
goal but failed to control it for a shot.
I guess
Arsenal were called a one - man team in the days of Thierry Henry, or when Robin Van Persie was scoring
goals for fun, but is it true that we rely
on Alexis Sanchez now so much that if he is not in the team we think we have every
chance of losing?
Giroud is awful no matter how many times you defend him he'll keep messing up, every
Arsenal game Giroud gets
on average about 5
chances at
goal but he can't even score 1, let me remind you that including end of last season in the last 11
Arsenal games Giroud has scored once!
Whether he will have games like this
on a regular basis or he will miss
chances like Dortmund and Spurs is yet to be found out, but i do enjoy the way the Man United boy raised with so much love is now scoring
goals for
Arsenal and mocking United at not giving him the
chance to shine as a forward.
Arsenal are
on a good run of form of late, wining 13 of their last 15 fixtures, and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they could turn the tie around but will need an early
goal to stand any
chance of securing a spot in the Champions League quarter - finals.
A RW is typically judged
on his ability to create
chances, get assists, and score
goals...... OX is pretty darn average in both assists and
goals so far in his career at
Arsenal.
Arsenal's opening champions league fixture could have been a lot different had their 16 million pound signing
on the Transfer Deadline day, Danny Welbeck, been a bit clinical in front of
goal and tucked away the
chances that came his way.
Arsenal's error - ridden defence have already conceded 20
goals in just 18 Premier League games, but surprisingly the Liverpool defenders have also let in the same amount, and their coach Jurgen Klopp has warned them that they need to be
on their best behaviour against the Gunners tonight as we have created even more
chances than even Man City this season.
As
Arsenal embark
on a mighty crucial phase of their campaign, Giroud's form in front of
goal will be crucial to their
chances of finishing in the top 4 come the end of this season.
Arsenal have an uphill task
on their hands to qualify for the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League, as they need to score at least 3
goals to have any smidgen
chance of overcoming an AS Monaco side that won by a huge margin of 3 - 1 in the first leg at the Emirates last month.
The
chances of the
Arsenal and France international star Olivier Giroud finishing the summer as the top scorer from Euro 2016 look to be gone after his international team mate Antoine Griezmann scored twice against Germany in the semi-final to put him three ahead of Giroud
on six
goals.
It might seem a little unfair
on our replacement keeper David Ospina, as the Colombian international has not conceded a single
goal in those games against Hull City and Stoke City and has only just been given his own
chance after recovering from the injury he brought with him to
Arsenal from the World Cup finals, but it sounds like Arsene Wenger is really trying to build a strong competitive spirit between his two main shot stoppers.
Like yesterday was as low as it gets for me as fan I didn't even care when Liverpool got 3 rd and fourth
goals because we're dead our pride as fans is same as players we're just dead hurt, sad, weak and spineless then it gets better ox is going Chelsea today and now timers sanchez has put in transfer request haha when board said change they meant it change as in we're selling all players and we're going like Aston Villa laugh u mite we are rotten from top to da bottom and it will get better cause I bet by Thursday we will bring in nobody and promote young kids we mite
chance van diik he's going for 60 million and by Thursday night sky sports will report
arsenal came in with last min bid of 21 million for van diik it got flat out laughed at so at 1 min to 11 we came in again with bid of 27 million and add
ons til 2029 its hard and it is only beginning haha ox starts at anfield and was shambles and he is sold today says a lot about wenger if that was me I'd say stay away till ur sold u little traitor thanks ox hope its worth it, loyalty me behind ahwell we still bellerin another little man and heart holding for Barca ahhhh I'm so mad we need Simeon's cum in and start bouncing heads off da canvas Jesus bring bk George graham at least we have defence??
Our most talented midfielder is
on record as creating around 180
chances for the other
Arsenal players, but only seeing a measly 19 of them converted into
goals, leaving him one short of the Premier League record currently held by Thierry Henry.
Arsenal may be feeling nervous after losing 2 of their first 3 games and conceding zillions of
goals, but at least tomorrow we have a
chance to get back
on track against a team that has lost all three of their matches this season and have only one away game since Christmas, beating relegated Sunderland.
This is very interesting.I look at the number of striking options in our team and i wonder how Wenger will be signing a cf.However as i keep saying a cf is a need not a want.And needs are more important than wants.We have needed a World class cf since Robin Van P. Left.Just look at the feeling you get when you have a world class goalkeeper e.g Cech in the team.You feel relieved you know why?Its because the goalkeeper is very reliable, very talented and consistent.Imagine the feeling you would have when having a world class cf in the team.You feel very relieved you know why?its because the cf is very consistent, is super talented, will at most times finish off
chances and will mostly create moments of magic.
Arsenal need a world class cf so as to have that sense of reliability and to not put too much pressure
on the midfield to always create
chances for them.We neeed that consistency infront of
goal to excel.Right now
arsenal's centre forwards are very inconsistent, unreliable at most times and are not very clinical.We need a world class striker so that at least if the team is not performing he can take control and do something out of nothing.You need to understand the benefits of having a world class cf its not just about
goals or talent but about being a leader of the attack, a strong scoring mentality and also the will to be consistent.World class cf's give your attack the ish factor.
Arsenal travel to St. James» Park to take
on Newcastle United in the Barclays Premier League this Saturday, having lost to AS Monaco
on the away
goal rule and subsequently relinquished a great
chance to progress to the last eight of this season's UEFA Champions League.
Edinson Cavani took just 42 seconds to score his first
goal against
Arsenal on Tuesday night, but the Uruguayan then wasted two glorious glorious
chances to double his tally.

He is
Arsenal's manger, the man who believes in attacking football philosophy but has a team that can't seem to create
goal scoring
chances even if their lives depend
on it.
Quality is not all about
goals or stats you know.If it was a lot of
Arsenal players would have been sold and many players would not even be regarded.People need to look at the bigger picture.He scored 16
goals last two season as the starting CF.You and I know that based
on the
chances he gets he should've been doing better.The guy is not even a clinical player from what we watch yet people will always deny that fact.The only case people make up for Giroud is his
goals.They can't even talk about his quality
on the ball and others because it's non existent.He was part of the reason why
Arsenal couldn't win the trophy in 15/16 season.It's a shame we are compromising and refuse to state things the way they are.Even if Giroud scores 40
goals in the EPL qualoty wise he's still average.
To ne fair to them they did have plenty of
chances before and after Aguero's
goal and even though the
on loan
Arsenal defender Calum Chambers and his new team mates managed not to concede again the result looked certain.
