«Defending by Pointing Elsewhere» is something we all want to
do as defence lawyers — to show that it could have been the «other» person who committed the crime, and not our client.

Just a few months ago, this column's critique of one company's marketing professionalism was met with a vigorous

As for the somewhat chaotic condition in the Vatican in the latter years of the pontificate — not to mention the poor preparation for the 2012 pilgrimage to Mexico and Cuba, which seems to have had an impact far beyond the Caribbean — why did Pope Benedict not ind himself a more competent «prime minister» than Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, whose record as Secretary of State the pope emeritus continues to defend in Last Testament: a defence that may be admirable as personal loyalty, but is inexplicable otherwis

It is therefore quite significant that a recent article by Bultmann seems to be by implication a
defence of Ksemarm's position against an initial criticism by the Barthian Hermann Diem: Diem had maintained that when all is said and
done Käsemann has presented Jesus
as only proclaiming «general religious and moral truths» about «the freedom of the children of God», rather than a message in continuity with the Church's kerygma.
Today this teaching is rarely regarded
as easy to defend coherently, and even more rarely
does it have an essential place in catechetical schemes, or in
defences of human dignity, freedom and immortality.

There is no contradiction:
as he wrote in 1993, «Christianity is at its heart a radical «yes,» and when it presents itself

Well Bill, I guess I
do not see your group / religion

defence industries, tobacco, NRA gun industry, etc..

She returns to the Manualist tradition,

referring decisions also go in our favour, for instance that dortmund goal sanogo scored was clearly offside, these things are apart of football, GREAT teams overcome these obstacles, GREAT teams
do not crumble with 3 or 4 goal leads, GREAT teams
do not concede 3 + goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut chances to score, united have academy players in
defence, in fact our defensive players are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have had an injury list just
as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result, so why on earth are united in the title race and not arsenal?
One of the attributes which is so important to his game that no one talks about is that he's unbelievably good at winning headers, which takes pressure off the
defence as much
as everything else he
does.
Yes Giroud is not a 30 goal a season striker, but he
does have his place, when we are struggling to get the ball out of our own half
as a target man, and in set pieces, and
defence, and he
does score the odd goal from free play
as well.
There was little the Russian goalkeeper could have
done to prevent the goal
as Volland managed to bypass the
defence to find himself in a one on one with the keeper just outside the six - yard box.
Man United's danger - man Romelu Lukaku will take most of the plaudits today,
as the Belgian
did well against a big West Brom
defence as his side won their sixth games in their last seven.
injuries [parlour said our training techniques were the same
as from 2004] not having a world - class CF (cavani, suarez, rvp,...), very thin
defence & some teenagers in it, no CDM until recently, i want to like wenger, but i think what he
does is always a bit short, why not spend a bit more to buy defenders (i don't buy his argument that they are hard to get; the solution is almost always money), favoritism to some players (wilshere..)
I will always cherish what wenger
did, however, thats the issue i am now debating wether he actually
did make us great or was he blessed with the
defence left by Greyham and the lucky signings such
as Henry.
Francis Coquelin has simply not
done enough this term, and
as our most defensive option, he has left our
defence open.
goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many chances like at Monaco i
did not criticize him even based on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud
as the main cf and Welbeck
as backup to him.Giroud has
done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he
does more harm than good.
Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based on content.Giroud
does not excel in many games than he excels in games.
As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant
do this he cant
do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations
as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok for us but a striker who can take on players and run behind
defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works on his finishing and composure by
doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but
as the saying goes if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice shame on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
Immense in
defence as well and could have
done with a better partner than Mertesacker...
With the likes of Hector Bellerin, Isaac Hayden and Semi Ajayi already knocking on the door of the Arsenal first team
defence,
as well
as some excellent midfield and attacking options like Chuba Akpom, Benik Afobe, Gedion Zelalem, Daniel Crowley coming through, Jonkers and his colleague have a great chance of taking the academy on to the next level
as the former head Liam Brady challenged them to
do.
Beside the issue of Walcot's contract, Wenger loves his midfielders and in fairness to him, when we play Ramsey on the right, we don't have a lot of movement behind the opposition's
defence and we are not
as fast
as we are when playing walcot.
I would like to see him play Tomas Rosicky there,
as the Czech international speeds up our passing and
does have the knack of unlocking
defences with a killer pass.
While Valverde
does have Thomas Vermaelen and January signing Yerry Mina in reserve, it's fair to say that they can ill - afford to lose one of their top choices in
defence as it would severely weaken them, such is their quality and partnership.
It definitely causes opposing
defences more confusion
as they don't know who to concentrate on, whereas last season Giroud was very one dimensional and was usually left to be the target man on his own.
all top clubs have excellent back ups but wenger wont
do anything about that
as he didn't with the CDM position or the
defence until the season was lost.its the way he is.
Gabriel still needs a bit or time to establish some cohesion with the
defence around him, because whilst he has performed admirably
as an individual in his limited game time, the
defence does seem a bit all over the place in his presence.
Arsenal needed to strengthen and upgrade this summer, and by the looks of this graphic, it appears
as though they are
doing so in central
defence with Mustafi likely to establish himself
as the top - choice partner for Laurent Koscielny moving forward.
A few misses
do not matter
as I feel that Lacca will score given enough opportunities, but if the Gunners insist on trying to walk the ball in then we could struggle against what is likely to be a determined and organised
defence.
if i am correct @ SD... your analysis shows you see the forest for the trees, most comments just give their opinion like they are playing Championship manager -
as JT said coquelin has helped slightly fix the problem of the overexposure of our
defence to counter attacks and the full backs don't both bomb forward
as much, the reason monreal starts ahead of Gibbs - walcott always looks lost and confused now when he makes appearances, and never wants to create or get too involved in build up play just wants to run into the middle and get on the end of balls.
It is not
as if the Man City
defence has been doinhg great without him, so why would they risk helping out Arsenal, unless they know something we don't.
We may have only made one summer transfer but we don't have the same starting team
as last season and our entire
defence is far more stable.
Because Wenger unlike other top managers doesn't believe in
defence As a result Kane is isolated with time and space to shoot and score.
the
defence is an absolute disgrace (first and second team) And we all know Wenger will put out the same team
as he
did today against Ostersunds and we'll be further humiliated..
Jack gets back and forward well and covers for the
defence unlike ozil and sanchez who
do nt
do so
as much.
Eton Messi
did not want to throw away their title challenge this easily
as they pressed on attacking the All Saints
defence.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime...
as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from
defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on
doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
We certainly
do have issues with our
defence, but (
as I noted before) Steve Bould is being paid to sort that out and that is where we,
as supporters, should be asking questions.
And above all, we STILL have
done NOTHING about our awful
defence, lack of any DM and kept the fast regressing Cech
as first choice keeper.
As Arsenal are at home the onus will be on us to try and break down the Chelsea defence, and I am sure that Mourinho will set his team up to soak up the pressure as they did against Man United last weeken
As Arsenal are at home the onus will be on us to try and break down the Chelsea
defence, and I am sure that Mourinho will set his team up to soak up the pressure
as they did against Man United last weeken
as they
did against Man United last weekend.
If he wants this attacking formation he needs to wake up to the fact that our Back Four will require a Top Level RB to replace the ever regressing Bellerin plus a WORLD CLASS CB who will organise the
defence and (hopefully) kick the living shit out of forward players who don't drop back to help out occasionally.Oh nearly forgot - We need a new Goalkeeper
as well.
The
defence looked much better with Monreal back on the left and Mustafi on the right of Koscielny and Ozil ran the game
as we know he has the ability to
do.
Leicester break and just go straight at a
defence, causing all sorts of problems, whilst it's almost
as if we don't want to score at times.
Yes he is right, but comcerning the weekend game i
do nt just knw why am so confident for the game.firstly liverpool can never cope with our attack, and secondly if we defend from the front like we
did from the last two games the
defence will be under less pressure.Evne flamini weakness was well covered bcos we defended
as a team and attacked
as a team.Lastly, we have chambers back for the game and hopefully the Ox and Walcott so no need to raise any fears.Infact liverpool, s attack depends too much on sterling imho, and i think we can keep him quiet, he is not even a good finisher anyway.I strongly believe we will come out on top with hard work and commitment minus complascency
this
do nt rule out a new defender... and for the dm issue we have chambers, he has played very well and his best position is dm, in
defence we have debuchy and bellerin and the pair koscielny and mertesacker on the middle, where will chambers have game time if not
as a dm?
I still don't see how he is a super sub.He's labelled
as a super sub just because of this season.Those matches when he scored he was supposed to be played because we needed an aerial presence.A lot of those matches had he started we could've won because we needed aerial presence.But the thing is that his abilities don't suit him
as a super sub.I mean he holds up the ball well and is great in the air and that's just about it.He's actually the one one who needs service and who needs players around him to open up
defences for him to receive the pass and not vice versa.Super subs actually provide they are not the one's to be provided for.In Giroud's case he was supposed to start in those in matches
as Sanchez was not up to the task in aerial battles.Giroud will not be able to affect a match if the opponents are
as good in the air.
The first question is where he will play and I can fully understand the people that are saying that he
does not suit our style
as Arsenal are usually faced with a deep lying and determined
defence and that is why the hold up and link up play,
as well
as the aerial threat and physical prowess of Olivier Giroud makes sense.
