His substitutions and
change of formation won us the game.
Not exact matches
One
of the biggest things achieved by Arsene Wenger at Arsenal in recent years is the
formation of a plan B, something that many football observers were beginning to believe was a foreign idea to the prof.. It is still true that the boss wants his team to play in a certain style that is fluent, exciting and easy on the eye but he also wants to
win and that need has forced him into a
change of tactics.
As for Conte being «generally prone to doing the same stuff again and again when playing poorly»... I'm pretty sure last year he
changed our
formation, swapped Iva for Moses for the rest
of the season, and gave us a record
winning streak.
Wenger will say the
win was all down to him for
changing the
formation of the team.
1) Great FA Cup
win... every true supporter
of the club must agree on that and kudos to Arsene for
changing the
formation and eg playing Ox at Wing back and Holding in back three..
My fellow gunners Wenger is a failure either you admit or not, though this is a preseason match which is less important just to make the players gain fitness, before the competitive matches commence, but at the same time Wenger's tactics and
formation should be questioned especially against big teams, he had conceded numerous goals against big teams in which today's match is a reflection
of what we are talking about, his old and out dated philosophy is no longer valid in modern football, no wonder Alexis Sanchez can't confide in his plans to propel the team in
winning major honours, Wenger still believe in some
of the bunch
of fringe players he should have gotten rid
of in the team and replace them with world class players or players that are hungry for success like Alexis, anyway there is still much time in the transfer window presently to do that, if he can
change the hands
of time and stop being too stubborn.
The
change of formation and the recent consecutive
wins against the poorer teams only masked the old problems that have never been addressed for more than ten years.
the game there has
changed before the match i was thinking about a
formation but flamini was not available in my
formation carzola was not in for the simple reason he put a lot work in the last match i would have picked wallcott rosciky and gabrial having said that when the player sheet came out my first thought was yup the team is balanced the bench constituted walcott and chambarelain (speed) so in essence the plan was ok but it just was a disaster The 22 million dollar question who would one pick to secure a
win in Monaco and advance into the quarter finals
of the champion league
That ability also tied in with our title
wins and whilst the game
changes and
formations go in and out
of fashion, the principles
of engineering space when attacking and narrowing space when defending have existed as long as football has existed.
Other than a brand new
formation, another big
change Wenger did last night was to restore Aaron Ramsey to the central midfield, ahead
of Coquelin, Elneny and the Ox (who was used as a wing - back instead) and the Welshman believes that the team can still go on a
winning run.
Perhaps Arsene Wenger has let the recent success
of a
change in the usual Arsenal
formation go to his head, because at first glance it is pretty hard to work out what system the Gunners will be using tonight in our must
win OPremier League home game against Leicester City.
I'd be happy if he's able to
change that.He hates to tweak things in his system which is his main problem.Contrary to what people think I think with proper tactics,
formation and mentality this squad can
win the EPL.Many will doubt it but if these three things are checked we can
win the EPL.The neglect
of these three things is what has brought Arsenal's failures over the years.The signs are there that it is set to continue.If Arsenal had gotten all the players we had needed we would still have been playing badly because
of those three things being neglected.
What's interesting
of late, is that we've
won all, but one game, including two
wins against top teams, since
changing formation.
The Italian manager showed his true ability when leading his Blues side to
win the Premier League at the first time
of asking, and moved to
change the dynamic
of the division using a 3 -4-2-1
formation which has since been adopted by a number
of top sides.
In this article for EPL Index, I tactically analyse how this new
formation has
changed the midfield strata
of the team, with cases from the thrilling 3 - 2 away
win over West Ham United as well as the 2 - 1 triumph over rivals Arsenal.
