Vako, more offensively oriented — he leads the team with two goals and two assists — and Salinas,
a converted midfielder playing as a full back, haven't developed a partnership as quickly as is needed, and the majority of the goals conceded this year have started from this side of the field.
Not exact matches
We have the best
midfielders EPL and I would go and say outfield players too but we are not using them properly MR Wenger do sent change tactics to suit opponents and never seems to want to change tactics during a match he likes to
play safe and sates comfortably
converting with his assistance with nothing much than calm sometimes it back fires with losing by 8 goals and that is what drives me crazy with MR Wenger
The one thing he is missing is the experience in this position because he came to us as a central
midfielder, but I
converted him into a centre - back because I felt he can
play the type of football we want to
play as a centre - back.»
He will go out and buy yet again some
midfield player who's natural tendency is to want to
play in the middle of the park (Ramsey, Wilshire, Santi, Ozil, Rosicky, Arteta) and try to
convert him into something else just to fit him into his starting 11 resulting into a team of players capable of passing the ball but incapable of being dangerous.
He will be faster, more penetrative, some goals in there and will shield the four back players not out of brute force but intelligence... He will not be a defensive
midfielder, but a deep positioned
play maker... A Xavi of Barcelona and the 4.1.4.1 AW attempted and found Arteta too isolated could now work with a hard working Ramsey... imagine a 25 year old Arteta
converted to his present role... definately he would be more effective than what we have today.
Especially if Alexis leaves, we'll probably get a decent winger /
midfielder that can

Converted» to a striker.
Unless Wenger is crazy enough to

All you guys fretting about player labels / tags and «natural»
playing positions would have hated the Invincibles; Lauren, Toure and Cole all
converted midfielders / forwards, Henry a
converted winger, Silva a
converted CB, DB10 most of his prior years as main striker and debuted as a winger etc etc..
We need to replace flamini with Some decent Player, Might be with a young player but at least a proper
Converting in to a DM makes Some doubt so we need some one who is a Real DM like Coq who can Grow in to a Destroyer and can
Play together with Coq as Axis in
midfield of Gilberto and viera.
They had chances and couldn't
convert, we had fewer and took 2 of it, Sanogo had a good game, needs a lil more run in the side, could be a great alternative to giroud, loved his diagonal runs, which i haven't seen us do for a while, drew defenders away from our
midfielders, probablythe reason ozil had a good game, i mean, Giroud loves to come in deep to get the ball, i don't see the need for that, his link up
play is not so good, neither can he dribble, like say a suarez or sturridge, so
playing to ones strenght is better atimes, just stick to what you do best!

midfield, joining Bolton from Real Madrid, while Coyle will be hoping Martin Petrov and Robbie Blake aid the team in creating and
converting more of their chances.
