Arsenal are at their

attacking players make forward
runs.
The Englishman can make
runs down the flanks, catch on to quick through balls and would be
better suited to play on the counter
attack, which we may have to do against a team like Manchester City.
I think OX is having his
best season, he is making
runs,
attacking, supplying crosses and stretching any defense with his speed and is what, 21?

Well i see him many times calling for a pass being ingored,
running behind again to start a new
attack, only to be let down again.
Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't
good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans
attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds
run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting
But New England is a lot
better at stopping the
run than they are stopping the pass, so the Seahawks may have to rely on Russell Wilson and the league's No. 27 passing
attack.
For one thing, you would expect a big Premier League rival to dominate at home and with Walcott always looking to
run in behind and counter
attack, this was Wenger's tactics and they may
well have worked.
It allows Ramsey a position in the center of the field in the areas where his
best runs into
attack can be very useful.
Despite Giroud's comments, perhaps
attack maybe the
best form of defence for Arsenal given the quality they possess up front and could potentially emulate Liverpool's end of season
run last team.
It's the
best way to give the passing
attack a spread dimension that can be flipped into quality
running plays.
Instead, Wenger sent on
attacking minded players, partially because he probably kept in mind that «
attack is the
best form of defense», and also partially because of complacency and the want to give some players a
run out.
It then allows for Monreal and Bellerin to push up and pretty much play as wingers if we're having longer periods of pressure, giving our
attacks plenty of width abd then Sanchez, Ozil and Theo can roam and push in centrally for combinations with Ramsey hitting space with those late
runs he's so
good at.
To be honest I would allow sanchez and ozil to roam freely in
attack, in other words sanchez could come wide in some
attacks, make
runs through the middle in others etc, and the same with ozil, can come out wide to collect the ball or roam into the middle to feed sanchez and walcott through balls to
run on to... In the
attacking sense it does nt really matter to me, they both are
good in different aspects so they could be used for different roles against different opponents.
Ramsay in my view is an
attacking MF who can make
runs into the box and nick goals but lacks discipline in a central midfield pairing and unless we lose a winger or cm (or perhaps Ozil) is
better benched and used as a sub.
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.
«I think he's basically a box - to - box midfielder, so he can
attack and defend,
run a lot and has
good power and technique.
Coq should start alongside flamini, away game to mancity will require all the defensive cover we can get, two DM with
good work rate
running interference against city counter
attacks will be
good.
But, he should have had another 2 before he scored, I think we need to be patient with Theo, people
attack him for not making the correct
runs or lacking the instinct of a striker, but for this he simply needs time, games is how he will learn this, I would think he is getting
good advice from AW and perhaps our new U18s
Attacking coach The King can give him some tips.
I will hear that Walcott is not defensive enough and all that, but not many players were before, now when the team is
attacking and defending like a unit, then Walcott will also get into the rythm, He has just come from an injury, he might not have been lethal enough but he is still
good as a winger, he can make
runs behind defenses, he is a
good crosser, he can test the keeper...
Their
well - balanced side, lead by a fearsome trio of Edu Vargas, Eder Valencia, and Andre Gignac in
attack and supported by a deep an diverse midfield, is going to be a big threat to make a deep
run in the Champions League this season, and Toronto are going to be hard - pressed to stop them.
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.
defense should be ok just the
attacking side needs changing more pace and direct
running in behind gets us a BIG NAME C / F that can do it all up front on his own we are at least 2 more big
attacking names away from a least making c / l semis, but once again
well done for winning on the night just shame we could get the third and make c / l history on wars and upwards in the league and f.a cup coyg
In the seasons following his statistically excellent season, many
attacks or opportunities have broken down because of Ramsey taking ill - advised shots, or making
runs into the box to get on the end of an
attack when it was
better suited for someone else to do so and for him to just hold shape.
Spencer Ware is a key part of their
running attack, and Sam Montgomery is arguably their second
best defensive player (currently ranked # 18 on the ESPN Scouts Inc Draft Big Board).
I hope Wenger plays Ozil in his fav role today and Sanchez and Cazorla stay on the wing and make
runs behind the defenders, the pace we have in Welbeck with the hustle and creativity on the flank will bring the
best out of our Ozil and his understanding with Ramsey will make us less predictable in
attack!
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
Are some of you on here missing a few brain cells as fans There is nothing Arsenal or Wenger can do with the Sanchez situation He wants to leave and has been offered 400k a week in wages who in their right mind is going to turn that down as a player As for blaming wenger who has been our most successful manager helped us build a stadium gave us 20 years of cl football and some of the
best teams the ol has seen Including the invincible and you all have the Gaul to trash the man as if he has done nothing for the club I suggest you should look at the plastic fans in the Arsenal blogs that have created a toxic atmosphere at the club They
attack their own players in a daily basis why would any top player come to s club where the manager the owners and players are shamelessly attached constantly Yet Wenger wins trophies regularly even them that is derided Look at Spurs Liverpool they win fuk all every year yet their fans back then Look at yourselves and all the negativity that you have created striking the club before you blame Wenger for everything I have been a season ticket holder since the 70s and never have I seen our fanbase been so full of entitled morons who have stopped backing the club and constantly deride the club snd
attack it We have the worst fanbase in football you have made this great club a lagging stock in world football All you now us fans constantly moaning If you don't like Arsenal fc then buy out kronke and
run the club or fuk off and support someone else You won't be missed Coyg
Perhaps the
best player on the pitch, Santi Cazorla showed great work rate today and was at the heart of every
good attacking play by the Gunners, going on a great
run to set up Welbeck for the winner.
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
Wouldnt this be our
best formation to bring the
best out of ramsey / xhaka: Cech Bellerin mustafi koscielny kolasinac El» neny / coqelin Wilshere / ramsey xhaka Ozil sanchez Lacazatte We really do nt have a
good right winger... bellerin has to
run up and support the
attack and 1 of the CM / DM should cover him if we are
attacking.
Like Wilshere, Ramsay is injury prone, but when match fit he is one of the top
attacking midfielders in the EPL.His
running off the ball makes him very difficult to pick up and he is a
good creator and finisher.He is a very important cog in the Arsenal team and hopefully he will extend his contract before too long.
I still don't understand people's obsession with boxing players in to a specific role... The whole «true DM» is a dying breed, even Coquelin is arguably something else considering the advanced positions he takes up often in front of Santi and takes major risks in winning the ball back for us... IMO, the reason Coquelin has had such a successful integration into the first team is that he focussed incredibly hard on the basics of his role first and foremost before adding other elements to his game (long - balls, driving
runs into space, more aggressive ball movement in general) it's not rocket science to tell a player to curb the
attacking side of their game and focus primarily on defence before
attack... Nor is it that hard to see that playing in a midfield pairing with either Ramsey or Cazorla is going to be different as
well.
CalHi's offense, known very much for their
running attack in the past, looked very
good in the air too.
Laca has tidy feet and can wriggle out of tight pos
better than he can get past a man
running with the ball at his feet while not losing the potency of
attack, Laca will make a
good pass instead which is what a hold up CF would be doing to bring in the wide forwards into play.
Riding its dominant shotgun double - wing
running attack led by dynamic tailback Miles Harrison, and a defense which has saved its
best football for December, the Eagles pounded out a 28 - 7 win over Oakdale.
I have always noticed that ramsey's
best position is
attacking midfielder position due to his
runs to break the defensive line.
For fullbacks want to see bellerin and Gibbs bcse
better attacking options don't trust mert against any quick team so have to mix and match other positions in light of opposition... If we can keep in hunt til December might get some support in window for an EPL
run in....
When on the pitch, we knew he will make a difference... The defense feels secure, the
attack as
well feels free, and he actuallt start those
attack... Xakha doesn't he just pass and
run to get a pass, not going forward or making that pass that ma kes a difference or a goal... Useless, but great stats, like our 70 % possession and losing games, he is the leader of that no sense possession, passing, he does most of our passes, then
runs to get it back to pass it, gets it back because he just passes and player is stock has to get it back to him... He will be a great journalist pulling stats..
This trip features the
best running back crew he has coached, he says, and his Panthers
running attack could sculpt Super Bowl 50.
From the variants of the air raid and the spread - to -
run attack to the pistol and the various tweaks of the pro-style offense, college coaches have gotten very
good at putting their players in position to succeed.
His first touch is still poor, he can't link up, he will
run with the ball like a headless chicken without looking to where to see if his team mates are in
better positions, he will
run and ends up messing up
attacks.
