The guy had a great game v west ham but his ego lets him down, but Wenger his comments on the
defensive cock ups, it is the same comments on all the losses so surely he needs to rectify the prob Number one drop the BF German that can't head a ball can't run he is a liability every time he puts on the shirt even Debuchy jumps higher than him Gibbs can't defend he is a nice guy but not first choice L
Back Chocqelen has proved he is a good player that can get better what we need is an Ozil type midfielder that has more guts to play good balls through to runners not high balls that you hope will find a target So a defender that can defend a left back and a midfielder and then look out enough is enough on what the problems are If the car won't run right you Fix it Wenger now is the time to FIX i

Never really showed up, didn't pass
out from the
back intelligently and didn't command in
defensive positions or from offensive corners.
Coutinho is the real problem for me in that Liverpool team.He can destroy midfield strategies.That's why I worry when I see us with no DMF.Years
back (14/15) I remember Coquelin
back pocketing Coutinho yet it's likely Wenger will bench him for no reason.That guy has so much potential if only he's used wisely.He has the abilityto mark players
out of a game and intercept many passes.I know many of you will call me stupid and say he's average but imagine if Coquelin was used in a very
defensive sense.Being brilliant tactically is all about producing the best system with the players you have and clearly that's not what's happening.I already lose hope when I see Kolasinac and Bellerin at WB whsn clearly it doesn't suit them.WB's are so important in a 3
back but clearly we've ignored that.
Werner is a polished pass rusher that would greatly help
out the Giants defense with Jason Pierre - Paul and Mathias Kiwanuka, who is moving
back to
defensive end.
Ok can this side work against chelsea, i think it can but i would be a little more
defensive in the middle, by taking
out ozil and pushing cazorla behind the striker and add Hayden / Coquelin beside Flamini, we can carry on Ozil in the last 20 minutes, Chelsea
defensive players hates a pacey forward line, so they will be committing lot of fouls and their
backs will be occupied.
The Gunners may have sorted
out most of their problems at the

defensive midfielder, yet Wenger rejected these notions, as he chose not to bring either in.
When we played Liverpool recently, the 3 - 3 draw was littered with
defensive errors from both sides, but the difference right now is that Jurgen Klopp has addressed the issue by paying a massive 75m GBP for Virgil van Dijk, while Arsenal have bought an unknown Greek center -
back that will go
out on loan immediately.
Now that we are

defensive midfielder that were too far

outings have been in his natural forward position — but Hiddink chose to use the youngster as an emergency left -
back this evening due to his
defensive injury problems.
I've realised people are confusing fullback and wingback assuming them to almost be the same.A wingback can be viewed as a more
defensive winger whiles a fullback is just a player put near the sides of the centre fullback.Their roles are clearly very different and well defined.That's why you'll consider Ox at RWB and not RB.We need to switch
back to 4 -2-3-1 to get the best
out of our players like Ozil, Ox, Kolasinac, Bellerin and Monreal.They'll suffer a lot under 3 -4-3.
So, yeah, you could take the guy who racks up a bunch of pancake blocks and who looks good running
out to block
defensive backs on wide receiver screens, but you had better be damned sure that guy can actually pass block or none of that other shit will matter much in the long run.
«After that, we promised ourselves to come

And the more he can play inside, the more they can move Wootton
back out to his more natural
defensive end position.
At first I thought Wenger was just easing Walcott
back and leaving him
out of games that required more
defensive help on the right side.
In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a
back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years
back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped -
out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his
defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)
The pass was slightly behind its target, and Moore bobbled the ball just long enough for Bengals
defensive back Darqueze Dennard to snatch it
out of the air.
Your right and at the moment we are playing with NO DM.Xhaka is being found
out with his total lack of
defensive duties resulting in goals against due to him continually failing to track
back with his man.I watched Fernandinho this evening against Bristol City and that player epitomises the role that he is there for.Sre you telling me these players are not there?Over to you Sven and Raul
Chicago is 0 - 2 without the brute inside force of
defensive tackle Dan Hampton, who earlier this month had the ninth knee operation of his 11 - year career and will be
out for at least another four games — if he comes
back at all.
If Arsenal stick with three centre
backs then Mustafi must be considered a far better choice for the third birth alongside Kos and Holding rather then Monreal.Kolasinac has to come
back in at left eing -
back and Bellerin revert to the right.Midfield is a very different matter.Arsenal still desperately need a proper
defensive central player.Ozil in this current side can not be considered anything more than a luxury.All of Bournemouth's creativity will come down the flanks so it's necessary to put players on to the pitch who are prepared to fulfill their
defensive duties.This also means that unless Ramsey can work
out that he's playing in midfield not as a number 10 he has no place on the team either.
that Avocado Toast was the # 5 ranked high school
defensive back that Florida State snatched
out from under us.I should pay more attention.
Irvin is notorious for the pushes and shoves he doles
out while running a pass route, and he's also a specialist at using his big frame to shield smaller
defensive backs from the ball.
Rob Holding looks like a great future CB and Koscielny was
back to standards and I think leaving
out Mustafi who was awful after his injury return has boosted our
defensive confidence.
We had the chance to buy Wanyama / Scneiderlin etc and we did nothing and the only purely
defensive mid-field player we have is
out of form and there is no cover for the
back 4.
Arsenal have been caught
out in
defensive transitions through simple long balls over the top or passes through the
back line countless times in recent years.
Guus Hiddink may give his midfielders more
defensive responsibility than usual to help
out his cobbled - together
back four.
If you contrast his performance in the games where Arsenal had less possession, where he had to do the job of a true
defensive midfielder, that is, chase the ball, close down the opposition, help his team play confidently from the
back by coming
out with the ball and taking on the one on one chase
back toward his goal.
so many quality wingers
out there that are better suited for us than someone who will weaken our
defensive structure and will never track
back.
the likes of neista David Silva our own ozil they don't defend but rather tack
back to slot in the
defensive line for the real defenders to do their job.have u all take note that ozil don't normally jump for headers in the heart of the midfield.so all I'm saying is if Chamberlain do nt want to defend yo make that position his then he should trying playing in the attacking position as he did excel there when he was played against Bayern last year or he is
out from arsenal.
But until we have a proper big strong DMF we will always be exposed
out the
back cause all off our holding players forget their
defensive duties and bomb forward and LeCoq is not skillful enough to be a DMF for us.
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
He already has so many
defensive frailties and there are, in truth, good full
backs out there who would come to us.
Wenger also changed the
defensive unit from
back four but in my view not to
back three but rather
back 5, pulling
out one more attacking asset to shower up the defense.
Injuries at linebacker,
defensive back, and receiver wiped
out depth, and the reserves were lacking.
