Sentences with phrase «especially as ox»

Personally I can't see Arsenal wanting to let Bellerin go anytime soon and so it's likely the Gunners will have to try and find space for both the Ox and Bellerin, especially as the Ox is currently proving he's worth every minute he plays at the moment.

With the signing of Kolasinac signalling the exit of Gibbs, selling Walcott will be an issue especially as Ox case is 50 - 50.

Not exact matches

I don't know why Wenger played him on the left today, with Özil out, surely he should be the natural choice as CAM, especially as we have other players like Campbell and Ox that can play on the left wing.

Although, in the unlikely event that Wenger dips in to the market for a wide forward of the Reus / Dybala / Draxler ilk then it is next to impossible to imagine Walcott is part of his plans; if you had Reus and Sanchez as your two wide men it would look pretty grim from the squad ranks for Theo especially with Welbeck and Ox looking on as well.

Midfield is really a place that we really DO NT need any more acquisitions, in fact we could do with selling Walcott and maybe the OX (Walcott especially rankles me as I feel he's lazy and ineffective and has lumbered himself on us forever as he can not justify his wage bill.)

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)

no one in the league has a better Midfield, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil (especially as he played yesterday), OX, even Wheelchair lots of potential, Walcott proved he can be our Striker, the rotation Wenger played yesterday with Walcott and GIROUD could be the solution to our problems, each one scored in each halve...... Welbeck well there might be where we need a third striker, Welbeck is not consistent...... so an backup for COQ and a third proven Striker should bring us the title next year

We needed to loose Walcott, The Ox and Gibbs as well as adding a world class striker to the group, the reason I say loose the afore mentioned is because all three have failed to fullfill thier maximum potential and Walcott especially has become lazy and un motivated and will never (in my mind) be the player we all expected him to be.

is good in his own way, listen people as wenger said the other day it works both ways players who refuse to sign a new contract will be made to work harder for their team to attract good offers that way it benefits arsenal without having to give in to his demand besides look at other players especially Walcott who played wenger for a fool, after signing his 100 k a week his form dipped and not putting in the effort knowing he's got that contract for at least 3yes, you'll have to hand it to wenger he learns quick so the bottom line is the ox have been playing well of late in order to justify these new demand well ox buddy boy I think arsene seen the light on this one

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

We have far more under achievers than we do over acheivers, Walcott, the Ox and possibly Ramsey should be playing their hearts out week in week out BUT they are clearly nowhere near as good as they ppromised to be especially Theo who to my mind should be sold immediately to anyuy one stupid enough to put up with his lacklustre and half hearted performances.

If AW wants to play his favourite son at all cost then he must bring him as a sub in the 2nd half, coz by then the gunners who have demolished the opposition as they did to Aston Villa and Galasatry.4: 2:3:1 formation with Ozil one of the best no 10s in the world is the best thing ever happened to Arsenal especially with Sanchez and Ox on the wings and Danny as no 9.

as for Ox playing instead of Walcott and Campbell I suppose the jury is still out on that front, Ox has done NOTHING to warrant a shirt before Campbell especially....

But Ox isn't fit, Theo's being eased back in and I personally feel Ramsey brings a lot more to the team on the wing than Welbeck does, especially in a game where they are to sit as deep as Chelsea did.

At the game yesterday and was so disappointed especially with Santi and the ox, not surprised by the result as with no defensive cover thanks to le fraud we got caught out, now watch him panic and rush kos back.

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

Arsenal have added Alexandre Lacazette and Sead Kolasinac to their evergrowing wage bill this summer, as well as increasing the size of their squad, which Arsene Wenger already described as «heavy» at the end of last season.It would appear that Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain has refused to sign his new contract with the Gunners, and this has left Wenger a very big dilemma, especially after stating categorically that the Ox would be «100 %» playing for Arsenal this season.

So please forgive me if I find your evaluations of players appalling especially when even an idiot could see are brimming with potential such as Wilshere, Gnabry and the Ox.

Cazorla is the one player we trust to safely carry the ball upfield through a congested midfield but in his absence, the Ox can carry the ball upfield too but operating as a Left or Right Midfielder / Full Back not through the middle or as a winger, to play in the middle of the pitch, you have to be consistently reliable, and to play in the final third you need to be consistently incisive with a visible end product, the Ox ain't consistent and rarely has an end product but that boy sure can drive forward and when he drives, Ozil especially needs to stay close enough to him to receive the ball because we all know he's gonna make a terrible decision the closer he gets to goal.

Not to get carried away as especially the Ox might yet prove to be a liability defensively if he fails to add positional discipline to his game.

Even if you think he's a good player (which I don't, though I acknowledge this season he's clearly worked hard to improve his game) Walcott isn't going to work in a 3 -4-3 any time soon, as (a) he can't really play well as a center forward, at least not anywhere close to consistently, and (b) the wide forwards in this system really need to be creative, especially when the midfield two consists of Xhaka and Coquelin, and the Ox isn't out there as a wing back who can create on the dribble.

It makes no sense, especially because he's 2.5 and strong as an ox, but it's there,» she explains.
