Me: Don't you think it is as a result of endless pass, pass, passing
the ball side ways and back passes with none of your players able to dribble past the opposition defense and create scoring opportunities?
Xhaka and nzonzi pairing would be terrible in midfield.Both lack pace and we will struggle in quick counter attack from opposition as well as we would keep moving
the ball side ways without pace
We lost against Watford we expect to win against Chelsea are we serious???? I dreamed we lost 4 1 I could not watch the match after we let the second in that nightmare was on I thought >> >> > as for that first goal it should not have stood as the goal came from dangerous play >> >> > unfortunately the team fell apart the unity has gone out the window >> >> players make school errors yet they earn 100 000 a week crazy carry on >> >> > I am sick of it I have had it with this punch >> > embarrassing carry on cant defend cant attack they only thing they can do is dwell with
the ball side ways I am sick of this dwelling about with the ball

It may, for instance, be 2 a.m. and you'll be trying to extricate him from a smoke - filled party on the Lower East
Side, and you just know that if he makes the ten - yard trip across the room to retrieve his jacket, he'll bounce from conversation to conversation with as much chance of making it back to his starting place as a beach
ball at a rock concert, meaning there's no
way you're leaving for another hour.

I would have liked to see him slice the

side, after lining his body the
way he did and then giving him the eyes.
His major weaknesses apart from the petulance when he doesn't get his
way (most big players do same; Suarez, Ronaldo, and even Messi) is poor positional discipline as he tends to roam from the left
side of the pitch in search of the
ball.
We will start from our half passing

That's just
way too much pressure for that

ozil in another team with good runners and commitment will thrive, not all this
side ways passing and sticking him to the left or right corner of the pitch... he is lazy but he is full of results in his past club... how cum wenger can't bring out the
ball in him....
That's a satisfying
way to go 3 - 9, even if it involved growth on only one
side of the
ball.
Some have said Ozil reminds of Bergkamp, but for me the
way Ozil shifts the
ball from one
side to the other making space for himself reminds me allot of Hleb.
With the duo linking up brilliantly, star Lions receiver Calvin Johnson knows that his team have to find a
way of limiting them while he will look to do the damage on the other

side most likely will when they get theres its been ou achilles heel this year we.cant kill games because we have missed our created.chances
Side note: My biggest issue with the
way we played is that it in no
way reflected what we have been told was the ideal — lots of long
balls hoofed to our strikers and forward midfielders from our centerbacks — maybe this was a opponent specific tactic, sure, but it seemed a lot like Pablo
ball.
When rolled in the usual
way (for a draw shot) the bowl will curve toward its heavier
side, more so as it loses momentum, enabling the player, with proper pace and angle, to make it skirt around bowls lying in the
way of the «jack» — the smaller object
ball — or tap an opponent's bowl out of a cluster around the jack.
The former Everton ace has often been used in the centre of a back three for Tottenham, with the player moving into midfield when on the

The most uncomfortable shot may have been the middle tee
ball, which was a cold shank that damn near hit the decorative island with a tree on it
way off to the

We will see now how good he is and can be if given game time Oh and by the
way did you see Sanches give the early
ball with his right to Ozil to score, if on left
side it wouldn't have happend, stop turn get it on my right, shit Iv lost it better run back.
The
way Busquets dictated the away
side's tempo and broke up Madrid's attack was key in Barca's win, as it allowed them time on the
ball and let them control the pace of the game, something that helped the Blaugrana stride towards victory.
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
Laca has a beard - so does Giroud.Other than the fact they are both French there is no comparison.Give this kid (yeah I know he's 26 but that's still young at my age) the service and he will be a top top player.Look at his movement and see how frustrated he gets as the
ball continually goes from
side to
side and backwards.I see a lot of Ian Wright in this boy but even Wrighty would struggle with the
way we are set up and play.When Sánchez is gone he will become our main man and just watch the difference.Remember those days when the football was slick and fast?Remember when we had pace all through the team and had players who knew how to use it?When we change manager a bring in a coach who gets the best from players by playing to their strength you will see a totally different Lacazette and Arsenal
If we try to completely boss the
ball and build as slowly as we have been (which is what we'll most likely do because Arsene is stubborn and will refuse to change from the
way we played that got a Tennis Score hung on us last time) we'll go out in the 433 with Ramsey and Jack ahead of Arteta, Alexis on one
side, a no. 10 on the other, and Welbeck up top.
I paid attention at what elneny play he is very calm and his pass rate was successful mind you
side ways but he lobed in few
balls I think he was to scared to leave a gap well done for me cause we controlled the game nicely wellbeck did well too i thought if any one could score it would be him was a bit disappointed with Campbell he spieled a few pass but did well with the free kick Barcelona is different i do nt know how Mr wenger will approach it but we need a tight midfield to eliminate the three we need to score our chances looking forward for it
I was ten when watching the great Tottenham
side of 1960 - 61 and new without doubt they were the best team I'd ever seen, (apart from the great Real Madrid of 1960 -RCB- the
way they slid the
ball around keeping on the floor and didn't need a grown up to tell me, They were skating the league that year like Manchester City are now and I can still remember sitting on the corner of a crash barrier at the back of the North Bank (It's the only
way I could see) when they beat 3 - 2 at Highbury on a hot September day.
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.....
But in some
ways it would be a ridiculous experiment... fun to watch for sure... pure aggression on both
sides of the
ball.
The likes of koscielny, coquelin, monreal and ospina have also made a difference, but also wenger has made changes to the attacking
side of the game, players like podolski and sanogo have been moved out as they simply offer little to the team in
way of work rate when we don't have the
ball.
Yep because passing the
ball side to
side is the
way to win games I forgot..
Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right -
side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss of Cazorla, who took a lot of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the
ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same
way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments of greatness undercut by long periods of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
Navas has started in fine form for City this term and is a similar style of player, offering a little more in the
way of pace and directness, which could be important in a Barcelona
side full of playmakers who prefer to get the
ball in deep areas to link up play.
for Christ sake the man came with a plan concede the
ball to them and defend in numbers when they make error from their
side way passes hit them on the counter very fast cause the wing back always leave the centre defenders exposed.
I think City were good, in fact I think City are the best Premier League
side since the Invincibles, the movement of the players, the
way they keep the
ball on the floor and the
way close teams down, all signs of Pep genius, I fancy them for the Champions League, and to think Pep took a years sabbatical to give Wenger time to leave and replace him.
with the
way chelsea play expect alot of those
side passes trying to build up before us losing the
ball and yes them counter attacking in the speed of light especially when bellerin and saed are bombing forward and the pass gets intercepted and they have to run from one end of the field to the other i have seen it to many times!!
The game began fairly statically, with continual attempted hooks by both
sides, until Harvard broke with the
ball and ran it all the
way down field, tapping it between Oxford's posts to bring the score to 3 - 1.
Crowder, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and now Hayward is a foursome that plays both
ways and can wear down anyone on either
side of the
ball.
Indeed, in the first half there was probably too much of that, with little time on the
ball for either
side and a tendency to release the
ball rather too quickly either out of a desire to get it up to the other end of the pitch as quickly as possible or to get out of the
way of a set of flying studs heading in your direction.
He wrestles play back to the control of Modric and Kroos and anchors a
side very much beyond just knocking the
ball to Ronaldo the
way they once did.
He's a bit more Johan Djourou than Nemanja Vidic in the
way that he attacks the
ball, but has excellent European experience and consistently stands out in a Werder Bremen
side that focuses on defending about as much as Arsenal do.
In their midweek European fixtures, both
sides lined up (with the
ball) in almost exactly the same
way despite nominally playing different formations (4 -3-3 and 4 -2-3-1) with similar usage and passing combinations too.
This is now the second time he's forced his
way out of a
side, and that won't sit well with Wenger who believes respect off the pitch is just as important as what he can do with a
ball on the pitch.
I do nt like alot of the Arsha bashing but I will say this; I have never seen a player dispossed and give up immediately the
way he does, he makes it look like the
ball is on the other
side of the field or something when its less than five yards away.....
This can especially be a problem for Van Dijk if the rest of the
side is struggling — in the same
way a frustrated forward may drop ever deeper when his
side struggles on the
ball, Van Dijk can push ever higher up the pitch if the players ahead of him are struggling to influence the game.
For a couple of years now, this crave for a young, skillful wide playmaker (preferably left
sided) has dated
way back to the exits of Robert Pires (& Alex Hleb) from the club but following Samir Nasri's sparkling start to his Arsenal career, a sense of reassurance filled the Emirates with the
ball at his feet, especially in his cracking third season.
The Primera Division top scorer received the
ball on the left - hand
side of the area and twisted his
way past two defenders before powering the
ball into the net.
On the other
side was D'Ambrosio who seems to look more and more comfortable every game he plays on the left and today he did a fairly good job with the
way he was able to carry the
ball and actually dribble past a few players.
