Atlanta United FC looked like a completely
different team on the pitch Sunday compared to last week.
Not exact matches
Ramsey is not been played in his preferred position and ut shows but the boy leaves everything
on the
pitch everytime... he takes one too many touches atimes, and he has not been at his best this season yet but what he gives our
team a
different option going forward andx gives our opponents something else to worry about....
Sometimes players play like sh*t and there is nothing the manager can do, when this happens the fans usually get upset with the players, specially if the manager had subbed the worst players
on the
pitch and had tried
different approaches to make the
team work.
We are improving steady which is a good sign (when Alexis is
on the
pitch we are a whole
different team, and his not even at 100 mind you).
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.
Its a start, but i think it will come, either by new players or by the actual
team behaving
different on the
pitch.
Maybe my definition of patience is
different, but for the first five years I actually believed Wenger too that bad luck and lack of money were the problem, but bad tactics, lack of transfers when funds are available, and the
teams lack of desire
on the
pitch is enough.
However, considering how lethargic the Arsenal
team has been
on the
pitch in recent seasons, coupled with continued lack of trophies, you have the feeling that even if the Barcelona or Real Madrid players were currently playing for Arsenal, the results wouldn't be any
different.
What I'm
on about if
teams travel to Liverpool, man United, man city, Tottenham or even Chelsea the fans get behind their
team they can play how bad
on their day they'll get booed off the
pitch but yet will get cheered
on and if their
team play great they will cheer even louder but coming to the so called arsenal fans it's a whole
different story all together the good apart.
Finally, if Wenger really cares that Arsenal go to the next level with Lacazette in the striker's role he will need to surround him with the proper kinds of players, those who compliment his skills and give him a legitimate chance to lead the line... if they can spread the opposing
teams back line with Sanchez
on the left and someone of consequence
on the right (must purchase this individual), this would likely create some space for Ozil in the middle of the
pitch... having 3 players who can not only create their own opportunities, but provide assists and make well - timed runs, could bring some much - needed directness back into our ticky - tack approach of late... unfortunately instead of making the tough decisions and spending the supporters money in the right places, we instead have wasted so much time bashing our heads against the same brick wall over and over again and expecting
different results..
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a
different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest
on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression
on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective
teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes
on the international stage and / or with their former
teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product
on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures
on the
pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet
on the
pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame
on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
The three
teams currently in the relegation zone — Hull, Swansea City, and Sunderland — have
different problems
on the
pitch, for each unhappy football
team is unhappy in its own way.
He gives us a
different attacking option like no one else does in a
team and just having him
on the
pitch makes defenders scared!
Sure, the
pitching is a
different story, as Dallas Keuchel is a free agent after this season, Justin Verlander's deal is up the year after that, and Gerrit Cole, also under control through 2019, is more of a mid-rotation arm
on a good
team than the ace it was once thought he would become.
Anyone who saw the first leg of the Copa del Rey tie against Barcelona could be forgiven for thinking it was a completely
different team to the one that played and improved so well last season (a cynic might well say that Peter Lim and Gary Neville had decided to let the Salford City players, disguised as Valencia players, have a run
on the Nou Camp
pitch).
Palace look a
different team with Wilfried Zaha
on the
pitch and the Ivorian was again influential in this victory over the Terriers.
«I saw a
different team from the one which lost to Atalanta
on Thursday, more togetherness and aggression
on pitch.»
Perhaps it need not be a single player that makes up for Suarez, but a few: Daniel Sturridge can directly replace the goals that Suarez provided, and also has his individual flair about him, but that magical quality that Suarez had, whilst unique to him, is remarkably alike to a young Brazilian no. 10 with more than a touch of flair playing for Liverpool, a player very similar to Suarez in some ways — his quiet nature off the field, and dazzling
on the ball skills when
on the
pitch — yet also
different, a creative player rather than a destroyer of opposition
teams.
In addition, over 30 local football

Thanks to a live camera
