After sometimes blinding, and yes, sometimes infuriating performances this past season for The Arsenal while populating 3
different midfield positions, I'd like Diaby to be able to settle into an attack - minded holding mid role.
Not exact matches
I worked with him for one season at Southampton, and he's a
midfield player who can play in
different positions in the
midfield.
Pogba is one of the best
midfield players in the world on his day and can give the side something
different in that
position, while Ibrahimovic's quality and experience could be vital over the course of a close title race this season.
The sheer amount of attacking
midfielders we have that all play the same
position and that add no
different dynamic to the game and the lack of defensive cover we have.
If Wenger signs a Top CF and an upgrade on the wings (only 1 if Alexis stays) or top
midfielder who can play
different positions, I will be happy and all is forgiven
Mensah can fill in a number of
different positions, capable of playing as either a left - back or defensive
midfielder though his preferred
position is said to be centre - back.
Wenger paid # 42millions so he would play as a number 10... He is not multitask or able to adapt to
different positions (unless we interchange, but we have no where near the quality of the German national squad
midfield and Wenger is not Joachim Law).
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.
Used in a variety of
different positions in Arsene Wenger's side, it is not clear if Wilshere truly specialises in any of them, and it now looks as though he will be allowed to make way as the Gunners eye a more experienced and expert defensive
midfielder.
Also, if Ramsey were fit, I'd definitely have him in my first eleven... Ramsey could not play with Coquelin at the base of
midfield because until most recently, he needed to have a ball carrier right next to him right after winning the ball and in most cases Ramsey was always very far from him but Cazorla is far more disciplined in
positioning hence why «Coqzorla» works so well however with Xhaka, its quite
different because he can carry and distribute his own balls and frees Ramsey up to roam which is where he thrives best, it is no coincidence that Ramsey had his best season playing with Arteta but while Arteta could also carry and distribute his own balls he is no ball winner like Xhaka or Coquelin.
Neymar is a wide forward, Santi is a central
midfielder, two completely
different positions.
The Ox was never going to be able to do what Ozil does for Arsenal because he is a
different type of player altogether, and even when he has played in the centre of
midfield for us instead of on one of the flanks it has been in the box - to - box role rather than the number 10
position.
I didn't watch the match last night as I was on the field playing I ran my heels off I was in their faces I was angry I got a well - deserved yellow and could have been sent off later on I intercepted a good few balls and assisted with 2 goals and won the match From the highlights and the analysis I understand the Arsenal were weak in
midfield the Arsenal needs an enforcer someone just like me a motivator and in the face of the opponents a thorn in the side I also believe MR wenger was at fault we all knew we would be weak in defence the least MR wenger should have had is a strong fresh
midfield after all we had a tough encounter with city + traveling why didn't he use Rosciky, Carzola and Campbell On a
different note I like chamberland stature he is tall and has pace and energy why not adapt him to the defensive
midfield position with clear emphasis to be in the opponents face The arsenal and Mr wenger need to wake up fast now we have this weekend to prepare for Chelsea if we believe we are title contenders
At CF Giroud and Walcott are both showing their ability with completely
different playing styles, whilst the right of the attacking 3
midfielders sees Ramsey and chamberlain currently competing, but when welbeck and wilshire return you will see 4 players all with
different playing styles competing for that
position.
I'm not sure how to describe the 29 - year old really because he is so versatile that he has been known to play about five
different positions in a single match, on both flanks, central
midfield and even as an emergency full - back.
Isco is certainly that, having played a range of
different roles across the
midfield, one of which is the wing
position.
Toljan appears to be a highly versatile player, playing in many
different positions for Hoffeinheim including right
midfielder on nine occasions in 21 appearances last season as well as playing in the full - back
position.
Starting off as a winger, he has gone on to play in central
midfield and right - wing back, occupying eight
different positions during the 2016/17 season including defensive
midfield, left and right
midfield, attacking
midfield and either wing.
Expect Antonio to play in at least two
different positions today including the problem wide left
midfield role.
Defenders are in fact becoming more like their colleagues further forward in their abilities to start moves out from the back and push - on, high up the field, not just breaking through the
different lines in possession, from defence into
midfield and even attack, but almost playing multiple
positions at once.
At the moment Belloni has made 11 appearances (481 minutes, 5 starts) for Carpi and he has made them in five
different positions - right wing - back (in a 3 -5-2), left
midfield (4 -4-2), central
midfielder (3 -5-2), right winger (3 -4-3, I think) and even centre - forward on one occasion (3 -5-1, when Carpi were down to 10 men).
the keeper from QPR, he's got som many clean sheets Billy Sharp from Doncaster Coppinger from Doncaster as well for the
midfield, he provides som many good crosses Don Cowie from Watford as well I'm a pompeyfan, and as a young promising player... watch out for Joel Ward... he covered 5
different positions so far this season, and done a good job
[For example] we need a player who is versatile, who can play in
different positions in
midfield, because at the moment we are a little bit stretched.
A striker's job encompasses myriad
different tasks; depending on the system, they may be required to press high when out of
position, hold the ball up to facilitate
midfield runners, run the channels to create space inside and offer an outlet, or drop back to augment
midfield when defending a result is the priority.
This gives Mauricio Pochettino a very good opportunity to try out
different combinations in the holding
midfield positions.
