It's not just
about winning back the ball, but knowing how to use it after winning it.
Not exact matches
I agree with the comments above
about sometimes playing as a CDM to improve the defensive side of his game, but he can similarly execute the defensive side of his game when
winning the
ball back further up the field as well.
If cazorla is
back no one is better than him even Ozil... Ox use to loose the
ball so it is not a good choice in the mid better work his magic in the wing... Can't rely on Ramsey, one wonder season adn that's all... Ozil should be sold and give Sanchez what he gets... Ozil is a luxury buy anyway... Before you speak
about the mid you have to get WC forward (2 if Sanchez does leave)... But who cares as long as The stubborn is here it will be all the same... Next year either we
win the EPL or we go 6th or 7th, I don't want this 4th spot trophy anymore...
Sanchez is looking good in spurts and how
about Ozil getting
back to
win the
ball....
You are only guaranteed that Sanchez and Coquelin will fight very hard to
win the
ball back EVERY game, you can't say the same
about other players.
anything but a
win will make 4th place an increasingly distant goal... to be honest we should be able to beat this lot woy has tightened them up but hardly turned them in to big hitters but i do nt think wenger can motivate the team anymore so its all
about whether players show up on the night... wilshere needs to get on the
ball more partnered with elneny who is probably the most reliable of a hapless riumvirate, kosalinac and debuchy given roles in a
back 4... if sanchez wants to showcase his skills i can see a 2 1 victory... otherwise could be looking at another embarassing loss... pathetic that we have fallen to this level of speculation
I fully understand we just lost one game and uts not the end of the world but am struggling to deal with is the consistent lack of mental toughness that are the hallmarks of all title
winning teams... we need to be proactive and stop been reactionary, simples... we had what is in all honesty a good couple of matches begining of the season WINNABLE games but we already fell short at the first hurdle now all the talk is
about bouncing
back, whatever happened to eyes on the
ball straight from the off... a Westham side with a new manager, some new players and a 16 year old making his debut beating Arsenal at home is just plain disgraceful and whatever happens next does not in any way mitigate against that.....
We need some midfielders that can be strong and battle for us!!!! al our midfield are forward thinking and there is such a big hole from them and the
back 4, It does not matter who we have playing at the
back we will always get attacked with goals against us with the style of midfielders we have, Let get some steel in the middle of the park, Lets bring in some players that other teams feel fear playing against us, Look
back at our best teams and we have always had players that will get
back and cover and can tackle and
win balls in the middle of the park, So many of our midfield now can, t even get
back never mind
win the
ball back when we need it, It is NOT
about the price of players it is all
about buying players that can balance a good strong team, At time we need to buy a player who is not a star but is good at doing what we need him to do,
What shit are you talking, tottenham
won every battle, they were first to the
ball, we saw in the first half every time they had the
ball on the flank ozil was not tracking
back, which was giving their fullback ample time to either cross or easily make dangerous passes but we did nothing
about it half time, they improved their wing play in the second half and we had no answer to that.
He looked the most dangerous in the first half, and he put himself
about in trying to
win us
back the
ball.
«I am sure you have heard the manager talk
about those little «furies» — that when we lose the
ball we have to
win it
back as quickly as possible.
I'm not defending his sulking but trust me if Gerrard, Suarez, Messi and Ronaldo were here they'll all be left frustrated.They will have to encourage the Arsenal players more than hundred times in one match.The big question remains if our players ever listen?I've seen many matches where Sanchez has urged and encourage our players to show more fight.He's done this a lot through his actions and words too.I'm remember when he came here and was tracking
back, showing fight to
win the
ball and all that it made many of our players copy the same thing.We even confessed that Sanchez is having a positive impact in our team due to his efforts.Now becausehe wants to leavexpeople are speaking only
about his negative side.I remember many people here saying they wouldn't bother and be angry if Sanchez wants to leave because our players show no fight.Didn't we say this here?Peopleare not giving him the credit he deserves.
Barca fans in the stands let him hear
about it during the games, where as we groan but then celebrate his hustle to
win the
ball back.
Great Reception???, tell you the truth Im not one of those gunners who started supporting the gunners during the invicibles or early Wenger double
winning years, quite honestly i wasnt ineterested in football and I liked a certain Crespo and Shevchenko meaning I liked the blue half of London, surprisingly when Mourinho joined I stopped watching football all together, till one glorious Champions League Night, It was my first ever Match there was a certain 20 year old highly rated youngster who scored a wonder goal that day he played with such skill and passion ever since then I started supporting arsenal that was during the barren years.I actually liked Barcelona because of their similarity with the arsenal, so when Fabregas joined Barca I started to watch them a bit more I still loved Arsenal and I was extremely passionate, the other players i adored left in painful manners, while some left which was still painful: i.e Eboue.I always taught cesc would come
back and when it was official he was leaving Barca i said Finally almost hosting a party.Well reports started coming out that he is going to join chelsea and i laughed so hard and said he would be the last player on earth to do that, when it became official words cant express how i felt, He was the reason I started watching football he lit up the emirates with exquisite touches through
balls to walcott, its a shame I would have preferred he joined bayern, or remained in barca its terrible reading the comments he made recently
about the emirates, This was a captain, someone who led, anyways, like ive learnt and Arsenal have learnt, We do nt live in the past Like Liverpool (no pun) WE ARE THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE (Crowley)(Puma) WE ARE ARSENAL.....
But this
win, and if we're being honest Liverpool's recent form, was not just
about the three boys up front, who put the
ball in the
back of the net.
As stated before, in the 4 -5-1 Gueye is left alone in front of the defence, which means he doesn't get the opportunity to push forward and
win the
ball in the midfield as he has to worry
about leaving space in front of his centre -
backs.
