Theo isn't 1st choice CF, Giroud fights to win the ball back and I believe Theo needs to learn that but he does offer a great «Plan B» during a game, if Giroud can't do the job or we want to hold a lead then play deeper with faster strikers
for counter attacking football instead of so much possession bassed.
Swansea by contrast played
counter attacking football as a deliberate and willful tactic There is a difference, Swansea by nature are a possession based team, very much a poor man's Arsenal, but they had a better chance denyng us space and hitting us on the break than trying to out — football us and it worked.
With a Def minded B2B player (stays behind the ball when moving to oppositions box) and a aggressive deep lying playmaker then we could get the best out of Ozil, he would have space and if both the CM are capable of playing long balls... makes for perfect
counter attacking football which our pace and passing should be able to do, with Lacazette not needing 20 tries like Welbeck then we should now have the capability of turning on the style.
Is that why Wenger and Arsenal played
more counter attacking football against Chelsea rather than keep possesion and press higher and higher up and eventually get caught out on a counter break?
cant wait to see
awesome counter attacking football once again at the arsenal, ozil looking for sanchez welbeck and walcott is absolutley mouth watering not to mention RAMSEY!!!!!
I'll be the first to
admit counter attacking football and Arsenal should go together like cookies and cream but ever since the invicibles teams have refused adamantly to play high defensive lines against us and counters do not work if the opposition has a defensive 5 or 6 set up near the edge of their box when you finally get the ball up there.
I don't think we can get more pace than that from our current squad and I believe we will
need counter attacking football against palace and with that team we could shred them to.pieces.
Not really my first, second or third choice striker, he is no where near my choice as a striker, he had a wonderful season at the champions,
brilliant counter attacking football and i actually thought leicester was taken for granted by many teams which allow them to set in a rhythm and become difficult to stop.
If only we could play a fast,
counter attacking football utilizing his full skills instead of this walk it up the pitch style football which isn't only boring but won't work against city / Chelsea / utd
We won't control the game possession wise but we need to ensure that QPR can't frustrate us and that we play crisp,
counter attacking football rather than turning over possession constantly as we have done in the last two games.
Do they play
counter attacking football where lacazette likes to exploit the space behind with his pace or do they tend to dominate games and have to beat teams parking the bus?
He should be on the pitch unless we play
strictly counter attack football and that is maybe 2 % of the time if we play in the CL and have a goal differential lead.
