The Ivorian finished the season with a mammoth 20 goals from midfield,
behind only strikers Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge in the goalscoring charts.
Not exact matches
Obviously Welbeck will be in the centre - forward position (why does it seem we
only ever have one central
striker fit ever), and I expect Ramsey to be allowed to start
behind him tomorrow.
Ffs wenger, ox pod and campbell are better wide players than ozil, there's
only one positión for ozil in this squad and it is
behind the
striker or the bench.
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?
What about vincent janssen He has scored 14 goals in his last 11 games and made 3 assists He is a complete
striker he can hold up the ball amd he can run
behind defenders even he is not very fast he also play with his two legs and give very nice passes He is
only 21 My ideal world will be if we got a super
striker like zlatan and get this guy for the next years I'm sure he will be a beast in the coming years
He can score 30 goals a season but still i don't think that we can win league with him... When he scores
only he scores, but Arsenal as a team doesn't look dangerous, I really prefer a dynamic kind
striker like welback, Who can make runs from behind the Str
striker like welback, Who can make runs from
behind the
StrikerStriker...
Everyone n football and most of the same fans know Sanchez is our
only player of quality, Henry said he is the
only player who would get into the Spurs squad, and we play him with one hand tied
behind his back on the left wing with effectively no existing central
striker to worry defenders (unless you count Giroud as a central
striker but I refuse to believe Giroud worries any central defender).
Fair enough, I just wonder if he'd still be playing top flight football if he had been at United from the start with such a horrendous injury record, Fergie would have shipped him off ages before his eventual recovery, dare I say he was destined to win the Premier league the season he won it with United anyways, he was the hottest
striker in the league for those two seasons, the
only thing we lacked in his final season at Arsenal was enough creativity
behind him and a lack of suitable replacement to take ocassionally take the load off him, but then Cazorla, Poldi and Giroud had been brought in for re-inforcements, he played with a patently inferior team to Arsenal's that season at United, with the exception of Rooney of course, he single handedly carried them to the title, what away to show loyalty.
With Mahrez, Alexis and Ozil
behind him, Giroud should score 20 goals He was
only 4 short this season, but if we get Mahrez (IF), I still hope we get a
striker
If Arsenal will assign him

only possess the ball for maximum two touches.

only started playing centre back this season and it's the first time I've had to mark
strikers who are running in
behind.
once Sanchez is fit he would play not Welbz... Giroud can
only play as sole
striker... i imagine if Sanchez leavea then maybe just maybe Laca would join Ozil
behind Giroud..
The
only thing i know for sure is that ozil needs to play
behind the
striker (s) and we cant play the formation we are currently playing anymore.

only one
striker, and you wouldn't expect either to be forced to play

striker bagged an impressive hat - trick in Saturday's win over West Brom, and he's not

Well im not in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the time although were terrible in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man
behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our
strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads in the first 60 minutes like we have for the most part and in those games those games should of been killed even if we give a goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality in front goal a player the chances have been there im looking at the failure of the
strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many goals recently as our
strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one in th first 60 mins of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still
only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this season not the tactics but the finishing
The
only way it works is if there are three
behind a
striker, and the other
striker must be then one of the three.

strikers like Lewandowski, van Nistelrooy, Inzaghi etc
On a different note, the commentator on the Stoke match said that AS7 is
only behind Ian Wright and TH14 (no mention of van Per $ ie:)-RRB- in the time it took him to score 50 goals for Arsenal, and he's not even a
striker!
Martinez looks great on Youtube (I watched too) but fact is that he is

only thing I would say is that walcott's almost like a second

behind the opposition defence.
@ergs I don't get the logic
behind the thought that many here think the other 3/4 forwards
only job is to create chances for the lone targetman
striker, nothing more... Lmfao

behind our expensive no. 10 and that is it for the forsseable future while we

This doesn't need in - depth analysis Wenger is the problem, all the low quality players in our team were bought by him, this is the manager who felt this squad that finished 12 points

only adding a goalkeeper Cech when we needed a DM and
striker as well!
OX and Gnarby are the
only two i think can reach the Hazard level and surpass it, once they remain fit and injury free, wilshere is a different style of player, with a different set of skills, i think his true position is right

only able to play in all of the three striking positions
behind the
striker, he's also able to play in the centre of midfield whether that be in a midfield two or a midfield three.
If we accept we are playing that double number 10
behind a
striker then I can
only see Theo as a
striker option.
Its
only 15 minutes till kick off, and Ive seen the line up and I must say, I am really surprised at how attacking it is, 2
strikers in Vitinho and young Chalov, with Golovin and Dzagoev just
behind them would give CSKA a great chance to get a point or even go for gold against MU who are indeed on form, but remember, this is Moscow
