The Wingers will provide support to the three - man midfield of Elneny or Xhaka (I would go with Elneny right now) in the defensive midfield role; Ramsey in the Vieira role — Yes, our Vieira, if well motivated, is Ramsey — and
Ozil in the attacking midfield role.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set to return after being ineligible for the League Cup final, and the Armenian is likely to feature alongside Mesut
Ozil in an attacking midfield role with Pierre - Emerick Aubameyang leading the line.
Not exact matches
Arsenal will win
in Chelsea's stadium, as long as Sanchez plays as a central forward or central
attacking midfielder and accompanied by Iwobi or Perez, without
Ozil.
Adelaide could be the next to join the list but as a central
attacking midfielder, I think he will likely play as third choice back up behind Mesut
Ozil and Santiago Cazorla, mainly featuring
in domestic cup competitions.
There is plenty of pace
in that Arsenal
attack and I like the balance of having Xhaka and Coquelin as well as
Ozil in midfield, so now our manager has done his bit, can the Arsenal players do theirs?
That was why he put Sanchez
in central forward /
attacking midfielder position and
Ozil is behind Sanchez on paper, but he pushed
Ozil to move forward and switch his position with Sanchez as a finisher often.
We all know that
Ozil has created more chances than any other
midfielder in the Premier League, but the German just does not match that with the goalscoring feats of many
attacking mids.
Arsenal board are silly to give
ozil for another contact worth280, 000 pounds a week bcos he is a very lazy guy are using his whole life with girlfriends
in hotel and is not doing hard training bcos of cigarettes and women are making him lazy and I still prefer Sanchez hard working is doing for the club than
ozil, please find another
attacking midfielder is really want to commit himself for the club than the lazy guy is not have anything to offer the club and is only to demand for increasement of the payment without doing nothing for the club and is the one poison Sanchez mind for increased of the.
Of course we had the priceless advantage of having real men play for us instead of little timid and afraid children
in defence and especially
in midfield or
attack like
Ozil, Walcott and all the other serail coasters who have made a rich living under their benevolent Uncle Arsene, who indulges their timidity and blames the refs, rather than coward players.
In his new role he dictates the
midfield while
Ozil dictates the
attack
If Sanchez doesn't perform as a central
attacking midfielder / forward / playmaker
in this game,
Ozil can come back
in the next game.
No other top 6 team would have this guy as a starter... He's ok on the bench but at this moment I would go kolosinac and wilshere
in midfield with
ozil miki laca and pea as
attacking force... Otherwise they will overrun the
midfield and dominate possession... But as with the imperishable mr fox I have no interest
in an ersatz victory based on man city underperforming and giving the fossil an excuse to «respect his contract»
if he's able to shake off those lapses, poor performances and increase his influence
in our game at least offensively (Assists and few goals), linking - up with the
midfield and counter
attacking... man we will have a fantastic season cause Sanchez is picking up... but
Ozil, please WAKE UP!!
Hazard scored a great second on the counter
attack in the 53rd minute and we ended up with no defensive
midfielder and Giroud, Welbeck, Alexis,
Ozil, Iwobi and the Ox
in friont of the back four.
Both Mkhitaryan and
Ozil have the potential to start up
attacks from deep
in the central defense area and continue those
attacks in the pivot
attacking midfield set - up as well, and completing the same
in advance
attacking roles as well as striking positions.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has claimed that Mesut
Ozil is the best
attacking midfielder in the world, but is the Arsenal
midfielder getting a little ahead of himself?
We are looking very thin carzola wont be back elneny is out until at least the end of February we need to bluster our
midfield our
attacking midfield yes we can shuffle around with elexis and
ozil and iwobi but is it the long term answer no I do nt think so as the
attacking midfield is the place where most injuries occur along the side of the defense so if any one else gets injured we will very short and
in deep trouble maybe after all we should call upon fabergas if no one else is available on a personal preference I would prefer veratie
This looks an ideal buy for Arsenal
in the
attacking midfield department, with both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut
Ozil set to be out of contract at the end of the season.
If Wenger had a feeling that
Ozil would be like this then he should have got Lemar, Draxler or Mahrez
in the summer because all 3 can play central
attacking midfielder.
If
Ozil worked harder off the ball he would be the best
attacking midfielder in the world, but a lot of the times his whole attitude seems like he just doesn't care.
It's not immediately obvious what purpose
Ozil would serve
in Antonio Conte's side at the moment, with the Blues well stocked
in the
attacking midfield department.
Ozil needs to work harder If
Ozil replicates the 2015 - 2016 when he was the best
attacking Midfielder in the league and scored the most assists
in the league then we will be awesome But
Ozil needs to work a lot harder than last season
We need
attacking midfielder, someone who plays
in the middle,
attacking (not Xhaka — because he is not) not on the wing like Sanchez,
Ozil but a creative goddamn
midfielder!
I will assure all the
Ozil is never
in the wrong brigade, the days of an
attacking midfielder that is one dimensional are long gone, just assisting and contributing nothing else to the team is
in the past, all players now have to do more than just waiting for others to fight for them, as that's why Mata struggled at Chelsea under Moanrinho and he is struggling at Man United too.
It literally takes pretty much all the strengths away from our world - class triangle of Mesut, Santi and
Ozil to place a struggling for form Campbell
in a more
attacking role when the part of his role he's been doing best is providing extra defensive cover, while making us weaker
in midfield when our strongest
midfielder has been injured!!
Ramsay
in my view is an
attacking MF who can make runs into the box and nick goals but lacks discipline
in a central
midfield pairing and unless we lose a winger or cm (or perhaps
Ozil) is better benched and used as a sub.
I will assure all the «
Ozil is never
in the wrong brigade», those days of an
attacking midfielder who is one dimensional are long gone, just assisting and contributing nothing else to the team is
in the past, all players now have to do more than just waiting for others to fight for them, that's why Mata struggled at Chelsea under Moanrinho and he is struggling at Man United too.
Our side currently have Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka holding down our two central
midfield roles, and Mesut
Ozil and Alexis Sanchez firmly set
in our two
attacking midfield roles, as well as having a number of others also capable of starring
in those central roles, including Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain, Mohamed Elneny, Francis Coquelin, Alex Iwobi and Theo Walcott.
A
midfield 3 of either Xhaka - Ramsey - Coquelin or Xhaka - Elneny - Coquelin, will allow us more of a presence
in the
midfield and allow the team
in general to move further up the pitch, seeing as
in the past two games the back line and the
midfield has constantly sat back inviting pressure to build up, whilst the
attacking trio of Theo,
Ozil and Sanchez would just remain up top.
If we had spent
ozil's 42 million on a striker and Alexis 35 on a top
midfielder we'd be far better off.we have too many
attacking / wide midfielders.
ozil, sanchez, ox, theo, gnabry, santi, rosicky, jack, ramsey, campbell yet 2 injuries and defence and we've no 1 left and have a def mid
in coquelin on the bench for defensive cover.
Isco would be awesome but highly unlikely as we have
Ozil who is one of the best
attacking / creative
midfielders in the world.
wenger needs to build a golden idol
in the shape of
ozil @ no10 statue and make everyone
in the squad bow down before it to make
ozil feel special again and he will be rocking and rolling again wengers first commandment will be play
ozil @ no10 only no where else, command no 2 build the whole arsenal
attack around
ozil only at no 10,
ozil is the future of our
attacking play along with wilshere and ramsey controlling
midfield in box 2 box roles along with a worldy d / m
in front of back 4.
Our 3 back is just so wrong.We don't have natural wingbacks even
in this formation.It also seems to me that lots of people here believe if you're good at right or left fullback then automatically you're good at RWB / LWB which quite frankly is untrue.That's why Oxlade Chamberlain can be considered at RWB but not right back.At RWB or LWB you're asking too much
in terms of
attack from Bellerin and Kolasinac.A proper wing back can be viewed as a more defensive winger which quite frankly none of them are and they don't possess the flexibility too to play that way.Our
midfielders are also not disciplined enough because
in 3 back there's a huge gap
in the centre of the field that must be covered by our CM's so indiscipline only means disaster.We also have
Ozil who looks like he's playing at RW
in 3 back.
In that we're limiting his impact because
Ozil takes on his man because he wants to not because he likes to.You can't play such players at the wing.He's a proper No. 10 who likes to be given freedom.That's why
Ozil plays likes he's lazy on the ball and stuff.It's because he wants to be free and for that you need to put him at No. 10.
If you give
ozil space he becomes the best
attacking midfielder in the world.
The Independent claimed the Red Devils were confident of snapping
Ozil up on a free when his contract expires at the end of the season, which would leave Arsenal with a gaping hole
in the
attacking midfield department.
Just shows
ozil is far behind a lot of
attacking midfielders in responding to pressure.

I keep saying give Cazorla his No10 position and we will look more dangerous,
Ozil is just getting away with it season
in season out, we are missing out on a goal scoring
attacking midfielder because
Ozil just can't support the striker and he is the one further up, he just floats around the penalty area with no goal threat.
I totally agree with your list of
attacking midfielders as they are well rounded
in their respective games not one dimensional like
Ozil and i will add Cazorla to that list too.
a modern manager would know how to use
ozil properly and how to utilize the box 2box players
in midfield well
in a awesome around
attacking well balanced team that can defend as a team as well as save our defence
Ramsay is a talented player but unfortunately for him he's not a disciplined cm, and is otherwise behind both Santi and
Ozil in any kind of
attacking midfield role, and that's probably where his best suited.
Thing with
ozil is that he needs someone from
midfield get the ball
in the
attack quickly.
carzola can play as an
attacking midfielder and a central one... IMO hes a better
attacking midfielder than
ozil as he consistently gave you double digits
in goals... season
in and out and still created chances.
I will welcome Cesc back with two arms, we can't pay him up to 200k weekly, and we can't pay up to # 15mill for him because his about 30 years of Age, two years younger than Santi, but of cousre, he would add the exact value we need
in that
Midfield, since Carzola injury, He's better than Ramsey
in my opinion, and he has alot of experiences, he will combine very well with both Xhaka and
Ozil, can deliver pass
Ozil to open up
Attack, and also deliver those long passes to the Main strikers..
And imagine what if Wenger assigns Sanchez as central
attacking midfielder / playmaker, instead of using
Ozil in that position.
As we wrote
in an earlier post, there is some doubt about whether arsenal will have the Germany international star Mesut
Ozil available for the trip north to face Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, although the hopes are high that the illness which caused the
attacking midfielder to be sent home from training will not be a long enough issue to stop him playing.
Maybe Arsenal should think about getting a flu jab for our German international star next season, if he decides to sign a new contract and stay
in north London that is, because Mesut
Ozil is out of action for the trip to face Liverpool
in the Premier League today and it is not the first time that the
attacking midfielder has been unavailable due to illness.
It would appear the Gunners will have
attacking midfielders Mesut
Ozil and Alexis Sanchez back
in action this weekend, although the latter, returning from a lengthy hamstring injury, may start on the bench.
I feel that since we have lost our key pairings
in both
attack (Sanche —
Ozil) and
Midfield (Coquelin - Cazorla), it is time to rethink our pattern for the time being
in order to make most of what is left of our preferable first XI.
Flamini isnt the best player we have but he is the only
midfielder disciplined enough (for the most part) to stay back
in front of our backline which allows the likes of
ozil, cazorla and ramsey to commit numbers to the
attack without worrying about leaving the back exposed.
