Especially if you have eight starters back from the nation's
best passing attack.
Not exact matches
One
good pass does not make up for two goals, giving the ball away in dangerous positions at least 7 times, leaving our right back hopelessly exposed after a year not playing and slowing down our
attacks by ALWAYS taking his first touch away from goal
continuing failure to get
better at corners (
attacking on them, and defending them): all our slick

I think Ramsey play
better coming off the bench, when ever he's in the starting eleven he rarely scores a goal, he gives the ball away far to often and sometimes in dangerous positions, he makes straight forward
passes or the simple
passes, I've never seen him make a defense splitting
pass or a through ball, the only positive about him starting a match is his engine, he will definitely cover a lot of ground but i think we need more of a creative or
Attacking CM in that position because of the back three formation.
I can have full trust on Kos and Mertz provided they operate their forward
passes from the backline only, our

good to come on when the opposing team is about to start

I believe tgere are 3 titke contenders this year Leicester, city and arsenal About Leicester they are doing great but there football depends on counter
attacking and few quick
passes to reach the ball to mahrez or vardy i don't think they can impress anybody if they faced teams that park the bus like what the teams do with arsenal and also any injury for mahrez or vardy will ruin there season so i don't consider them a real challenge and in an open game we got the
best out of them and beat them with 5 goals to 2 so calm down gooners About city they had very impressing start for the season then they were vety baf winning most games by pure luck or last minute goals and they could be beaten easily Arsenal are the
best team form we controled most of the games and the losses and draws were by bad referee decisions or bad luck and the 4 points margain with city could have been easily 10 or 12

They did not only win but
passed the ball
well,
attacked well and defended resolutely with players that would have been on the bench but for injuries and suspension of Kolshieny So Ozil could track back and defend with a sliding tackle?
I beleive this team in form will get the
best out of barca and even beat them Barcelona plays with high line with high pressure with cazorla, ozil and sanchez ability to get the ball from tight spaces we can
pass the first defence line and go counter
attacking with theo and sanchez with some magical
passes from our wizard we can put the fear in there team and could get a win atleast at the emirates but since cazorla and coquelin are not sure to be playing i feel it will be very hard to get a positive result but let's give it a go we have nothing to lose
we have great fire power with probably the 2nd
best creative
attacking midfield in the EPL now the problem is that if we get congested in every game just outside the oppositions box there is no way we can score goals with 15 to 18 players in and around you, we need to change the way we play we can not play the million
passing the ball game outside the box, we have to draw out the opposition to half way to be able to get behind their deference

better at stopping the run than they are stopping the

best way to give the
passing attack a spread dimension that can be flipped into quality running plays.
I understand its not all about running and part of me seems to think his attributes are
better suited to a counter
attacking team, but watching santi play it seems like he can provide the
passes mesut can and offers more defensively.
Iwobi is the
best attacking midfielder we have, he is the only player that can play him self out of trouble from tight corners, in fact he is the only player in arsenal right now that I have confidence in that can dribble
well at the same time
pass well.
We look a
better counter
attacking team yet Wenger stil makes us play this slow lethargic side to side
passing football
Ramsey has the more all - round game and would be more likely to
pass his way through a back line, but they can both shoot from distance as
well as link up with their
attacking team mates.
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our
attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as
good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways
passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are
good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an
attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at
best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off

best receiver you've probably never heard of.

better than Flamini and Arteta in turning defence to
attack as
well since he can
pass forward instead of most of the time sideways and back.
best formation is 4 -5-1, high pressure and fast counter
attack, something like Klopp did with BvB seasons ago, Ozil vision, Walcott speed and Sanchez class can defeat anyone,
passing is
good but when opponent like Watford just sit and wait its hard to
pass and score, start game with high pressure and fast counters than in second half start playing
pass game, so with right balance it could be done, something we did against Liverpool last year on Emirates, first half high pressure and counter while in second half
passing and controling game.

attack through pace and getting in behind with Alexis and Walcott, or through dribbling and quick
passing with Cazorla and Özil, as
well as crosses with Giroud.

best defender in the prem, we need play smart, play Dewey and counter

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..
For
attacking, creative, FORWARD,
passes then Xhaka is far
better
Out defence didn't cost us the game our
attack did, welbek is our major problem, he cant score, or
pass, to be sincere, we created many chances but couldn't convert any, I observe most of our players r not
good enough.

The players that hold us back most in my opinion, Giroud, Ozil, Walcott, Coquelin, can be very
good at what they do
best but just don't have enough of an all round game, defending /
attacking dribbling /
passing tackling / shooting positioning / running heading / strength.
Wilshere used to have 1
good moment (like goal in manchester city match) and that is enough to have him start in every match (although his stats (like key
passes, assists etc) prove he is still playing very poorly and looses the ball in key position and breaking aresnal
attack).
When Arsenal put 2 or 3 fast
passes in a row and make
good attack we are like «oh, ah!»
Well our next game is against Hull City at home and should be mainly about us trying to break down a dogged defence, so perhaps the
attacking threat of Chamberlain will be a bigger weapon than the
passing and work rate of the Egyptian, who might not be in the
best frame of mind after losing the AFCON final to Cameroon despite opening the scoring himself.
So wait a minute.Are Arsenal looking for a defensive midfielder or a box to box player.I'm really disappointed in Xhaka's defending.He's very
good with his long
passing but I don't think he's the
best option when it comes to box to box.In Arsenal he's normally used as the defensive midfielder particular deep lying playmaker and this actually means that we need someone who is fantastic at
attacking and can also do very
well defensively so as to compliment for Xhaka's defensive short comings.Ludo Goretzka is very
good defensively from the little I've seen but I don't really know much about his
attacking qualities.But I also hope Arsenal does not forget about Mario Lemina.He's a complete midfielder and to me has the capabilities to be one of Europe's
best if given the chance.He can defend very
well and
attack very
well.He's a player Juventus would regret selling.As for Goretzka I know he's very
good defensively but have» t seen much of him in terms of
attack.If he's as
good as in
attack I'd sign him.
Lack of qualities in some areas especially in defense and
attacking minefields, here you may expect me to talk about DM instead of AM but for my quick view our AM with the exceptional of Mesut Ozil tend to dribble too often than looking for a killer
pass, people may talk about Sanchez to be there but for me he is a
better option among the available midfielders, however the only proper number 10 we have is Mesut Ozil.
This is EPL wenger should try and focus more on defence, our system is too much of
attack whereas there is no superstar to do the magic, we only base on fast
pass tempo, a
well organized team, just need to keep the ball from us, play from the back, slow down the tempo and we are
well beating.
If the midfield chooses not to
pass then it is a wasted run but the attackers can make runs and
attack space irrespective of whether the midfield is slow or
good at
passing
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
There is just 0.01 difference in their overall score, while Gibbs does
better on things like
passing and possession with Baines edging it on chances created and the
attacking side of things.
