It proves the 26 - year - old is the complete central defender, not just comfortable at sticking his foot in but also
at playing out from the back when possession has been won.

backed out of the segment when he didn't like his lines.
3 months is looked
at per minimum it take more than six months for a bone to heal some very minor muscle will take 3 months a serious injury which takes 8 months and more + rehabilitation while a player is rehabilitating other injuries my form a direct result of being constrained where muscles freeze you are not
playing for 8 months you cant expect the muscles to be up and running straight away players how ever want to
play because of all sort of reasons one being replaced so it hampers with their full recovery hence having players regularly in the treating room but take it
from me some times you are perfect you just get
back bang someone heavy dose your ankle in so you are
back in
out off
playing time I personally got very angry because my knee was ok so went
back out to come
back in after one game with ankle problem after a couple of weeks i will go
back out I have no guarantees that some one wouldn't go heavy on me or me injuring myself going heavy on someone else its football thats the way it is if it is not a medallion for the cabinet its a leg medallion
Mesut talked about evolving his game, and he said that in context to adding goals to his assists; not to
playing out wide and learning how to run

from wide positions and learning when / how to track
back on the touchline.
Of course, losing wingers Robben and Ribery will have forced his hand slightly here, but it still shows a lack of a Plan B that Pep couldn't bring
out a similar threat
from other players like Gotze and Muller, who can both
play wide, or indeed use Lahm in his preferred position of right -
back and utilise his quality
from there — in fact, the former Germany captain's use as a midfielder since this manager's arrival is one of many examples of his attempts
at tactical innovation going wrong.
This stems
from a lack of strong defensive
backs and midfielders, being
played out of position, and Wengers sh@tty job
at team rotation.
Wow
at CB partnership, we all knew we got a world class CB but we didn't KNOW if he would settle quick enough etc... I am super happy with our def now and I think that has made it easier for Theo as Wenger does like to
play out from the
back.
See how poor nacho monreal was today yet people never criticize him.Gibbs should start over him next week.Yet people would say things like Gibbs is shit despite him being very consistent for arsenal.The only problem to me with Gibbs is that sometimes in some matches he gets caught
out too much apart
from that he is a better left
back than Monreal and when both are
at full pelt Gibbs is still better.I just do nt get it i watch the two of them
play and i do nt know what makes Monreal better than him.
Pep sent
out Joe Hart on loan because he wanted a certain type of goal keeper for Man city and wanted to
play from the
back, that is not to say Joe Hart isn't good, matter of fact Pep was even benching Aguero
at one point and sought alternative options.
Carlo Ancelotti's apparent preference to
play Sergio Ramos and Pepe
at centre -
back has seen the talented Frenchman's performances limited to 20 starts in La Liga this season, with another five games coming

out of the side injured.
We will have to wait and see how things pan
out in East London
at the weekend, and Arsenal wwill need to
play well to come
back with all three points
from our Premier League clash away to West Ham United, but I do have a feeling that, for a change, things are going our way ahead of this crucial game.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of
play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and
play» mentality where players
play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look
at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system...
at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly
from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the
backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance
play quickly
out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball...
from our
backs out wide, we've seen pace
from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted
play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was
playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing -
back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched
played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball
play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he
played with Coq Wenger always seemed to
play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless
at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been
played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a
back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing -
back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and,
at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
74 points is halfway between So I went
back and looked
at Sir Alex Ferguson years
from 1999/2000 to 2012/13 to find
out where we've been as a club after 33 games
played.
And also by adding Xhaka we now have
at least two quality players (Santi and Xhaka) who can
play out from the
back.
Wenger thinks he is now ready and appears to be showing faith in him by not
playing him
out wide
at the end of last season but as cover for Giroud, Theo was getting
back from injury and I am glad Wenger didn't rush him
back like he has had to do previously...
Whether draxler or not arsenal is still a weaker team, is it something bad if we have both draxler and Sanchez in the same team fighting for places, just imagine van persie, Sanchez, ozil, carzola are in the same team, with likes of inform konsieny, mustafi, and konlansinic, and good holding midfider,... our problem with this 343 information or 3421 information apart
from Wenger
playing players
out of position we don't have a strong holdmidfider that retrieve the ball
back when we lost possession... Kant's is perfect example of that, look
at the job he does
at Chelsea is amazing...... without a good holding midfielder our defenders are vulnerable
Since UM doctors didn't keep Hurst
out of action
at any point during his
playing career for heart concerns, there was little reason to believe they'd hold him
back from the program sanctioned event (if they even get a say, I'm not entirely sure).
This is 3 defenders
out of six and the only time we may have 5 in the field will be depend on the game... where we are defending a slim lead and need to shut
out an opponent (mostly that happens about 30 closing minutes in the game... The issue about Man United's LvG trial should not scare anyone
from looking
at our own strengths and
playing through them — We are faster, we are younger, we are more technically adept and maybe we can implement this best... Remember guys a wingback is also a defender when the need arises and the questions we should be asking is if Walcott, Ox, Podolski and Carzola can really learn to track
back when
played in the wing
back roles...
Now I think there is still reasons to be cheerful, I agree Man C & Chelski have spent & bought some good players, we all understand that 5 of those teams might be in the CL proper which is a huge distraction for those 4 - 5 teams.Chelsea will not be able to field the same 13 - 14 players all season, as for Man C they were very frail
at the
back last season, add to that 2 flying wing
backs and I'm not sure they will be any better this coming season.LFC will most probably have CL as well if they qualify and haven't exactly bought great players apart
from Salah who could be a good aquasistion for them.Spuds have sold a good player & strengthened a rival & still not bought a single player yet, Man U have bought 2 good players & in Lukaku have a proven goal scorer in the PL but if they
play the same dour way they did last season & with the added games the CL brings will they perform week in week
out in the league??? As for Everton yes they have released a lot of players and also brought in a lot too to give better quality in the squad as they have Europa league the same as US the big difference is I think we will
play squad players & youngsters maybe with a few senior players all the way up to the QF This tells me most of our rivals will pave the way for us to field pretty much the same side every weekend in the PL thus giving us an advantage over all the other 5 teams
playing in the CL & Europa, just remember the League has been won in the last 2 seasons by teams NOT in Europe YES we are this season but I think Wenger will put all his eggs in the League basket and field an under strength side in all comps hence focusing on the League until we are no longer in the race.
Arsene Wenger spoke in the week about the big gap between Arsenal and the current Premier League leaders might just allow the Gunners to
play with some of the old fluency and verve that saw us topping the table
at the turn of the year and even though the Gunners were knocked
out of the Champions League in midweek, there were enough positives
from our performance against Barcelona to give us some belief
back.
The Ducks did gain 469 yards (6.9 per
play) on Texas, but the Longhorns were able to limit damage on third downs (4 - for - 12), and special teams gave Oregon long fields
from which to work all night despite six Texas three - and -
outs — nine of 11 Oregon drives began
at the Ducks» 25 or further
back.
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS on an article about Chambers
at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one
from management has ever explained why such a frugal club spent so much money on him in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for players who could have a monumental impact on the very future of our club but somehow we found $ 16 million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't get me wrong, I like what he showed
at times last season in Middlesbourogh but
from the handful of games I watched him
play I still have some serious questions about his consistency as a
back - line player in the EPL; as such he should prove himself on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that wants him in the starting 11... bottom line, let's not get bogged down with the semantics of peripheral players and focus on the real task
at hand = figure
out who the hell is going to be our starting 11 for the foreseeable future, which means getting contracts signed, getting rid of a lot of deadwood and bringing in talented players into the positions which truly need upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise
Mata has struggled for
playing time, Herrera is facing fierce competition
from Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Marouane Fellaini in midfield, Young continues to show his versatility by doing a commendable job
at left -
back while Blind has been crowded
out.
Monreal (who should be asked to be cautious as he ventures forward) and hopefully with his defensive bias, should be able to track
back and help
out in the defense when we are short
at the
back, and OX on the right side who,
from evidence of his having
played there and performed in the shortness of this season games, and with enough pace to track
back when necessary — but with a bias for going forward — would be a good mix to start with.
Boakye has never
played a game for the Turin giants, having spent three spells

No and no this is 3 defenders

One of his good friennds
from Arsenal is Francis Coquelin, who had his own issues with form and fitness and seemed to be heading
out od the club until a loan spell
at Charlton helped and he took his chance when called
back to
play for the Gunners, something he has
backed his old pal to do as well.
However, he has also proven to be a top defender with the ball
at his feet in terms of starting
play from the
back and picking
out passes, and combine that with the fact that he's English, and it's no surprise Pochettino wants to add him to his Tottenham squad.
(don't blame hime to an extent - Ozil and Car give us options and Ramsey, could've scored)... Maybe he should taken
out BFG for theo,
played 3
at back with Moreal more towards CB position since their threat was
from the other flank.
He is decent

As Ryan Giggs begins a fresh adventure as head coach of his native Wales, UEFA.com looks

Defenders are in fact becoming more like their colleagues further forward in their abilities to start moves
out from the
back and push - on, high up the field, not just breaking through the different lines in possession,
from defence into midfield and even attack, but almost
playing multiple positions
at once.
However he will face strong competition
from Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp looks to solve the problem
at left -
back that has troubled him all season, with James Milner forced to
play out of position.
Why can't people for God sake understand the angle the young man was coming
from, this is a guy who has come
out to suggest what he feel will be of great glory to the team, futbol is about winning trophy not the samba, champaign, tick taka or jambody style Of playwill be accredited to ur cv after retirement, every professional player will wants to be identify with a medal, mind you he have limited years to his career, therefore we should not allow sentment or affections we have for our various teams erode the basic objective of the game.we should also think about their future too, this guys are proffessionals which young lads are looking up to and questions will be ask tomorrow about theirs
playing days.can people tell me why pele and some other famous players in the world both present and past are been celebrated today the answer is simply cos they are successful in their career and have trophy to show for it in their respective clubs or countries, why the complain in nigeria?its simply cos our team for quite a while now has not recorded any troph to her glory, fans should learn how to call a spade a spade in order to balance situation and also for better performance of the team.why then did arsene wenger hurridly went to buy more experienced players after the poor
outing he had
at the beggining of last season?this players know beta cos they are
at the centre of it all, we don't have to trash what they say, we fans are only watching
from screen, in as much as we beliv in arsen wenger, we should also know that without the boys no arsen wenger, fans should try to reason along with the players too.an hypotetical cases of similar to rvp has been tested by some players and have put them right over the coach and the team.so, whatelse does the fans needs to prove that futbol has gone beyond living in the past.for example, fabrigas and nasri were able to prove their critics wrong.thank God for them, we should always be objective in our submission, how else do we expect players to show their commitment to a team that was in 8 on the log table and later fought their way
back to 3rd this boys are commendable and deserve to be encouraged, I think is high time the manager and the mgt board of arsenal futbol team get to know that game of futbol has gone beyond two teams domination, its now like a pendilum which can swing either way only with a powerful insrument called money.you can't eat ur cake and have.
Initially it is, of course, important to point
out that it is only natural for his interception and tackles numbers to be down

A team / squad is made up
from many different parts, some industrious (Boyce, Bonds, Moncur), some that can run with the ball
at pace (Sinclair, Devonshire), some sublime vision and skill (Brooking, Dickens, Brady) some goal scorers (Robson, Cottee, McAvennie, Dicanio, Kanoute, Ashton) Central defenders who can
play out from the
back, full
backs who can bomb on and cover the midfield partner in front of them.
I have read various team news speculation during the week about formations and lineups which range
from pragmatic damage limitation to the more bizarre including suggestions of
playing Zabaleta
at centre
back or in midfield; strange that those having criticised Bilic for
playing players
out of position would believe that such an idea would have any more legs than the player himself.

After all, why care about the national team and the WorldCup when u have all the players

Our transfer policy needs looking into IMO because something is not right when you buy someone, knowing he has no chance
at all of
playing first team football for your club, then loan him
out for six years, sell him to the club you got him
from, buy him
back to sell him but can't so sell him
back to the original club again.

There appears to be a current and very deliberate attempt to obfuscate what a VAT actually does (create a level field and
back out taxes
from exports, allowing recipient countries to impose their own taxes
at consumption) and conflate it with protectionist measures such as straightforward tariffs or the proposed complex «border adjustability» tax, the latter explicitly prohibited under WTO rules precisely because it is not a level
playing field (imports are taxed and exports are subsidized).
Apana vayu, the downward flow of prana through the body, is
