The 30 - year - old had a rough start to this year's Premier League campaign and was often at fault
for goals being conceded as Arsenal fans started to criticise the German.
Defensively (and this isn't counting the potential of Sebastian Coates or the injury plagued Daniel Agger), there's been growing discontent with Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel
for goals being conceded that are perceived to have been avoidable.
Not exact matches
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?
He
was involved or directly responsible
for four of our eight
conceded goals so far this season!
we started with three red cards (flamini, welbeck and giroud except
for the
goal he scored to pay
for the gift he gave them early on in fact his foul to skirtel caused those extra 9minutes where we
conceded the equaliser) Chambers
was being roasted due to not getting any help from welbeck (most wasted money in the market).
royalman — in peace,
was Chambers really to blame
for the two
goals conceded to Palace and AS Monaco??
But we'll know if
is he
's match rustiness the reason behind his
conceding 2
goals in 2 games
for Arsenal or it
is entirely something else.
There
is so much talk about getting wingers and strikers that we
are all forgetting our stats from last season.It
was not scoring
goals which
was the problem (thanks to Alexis whom people have already started demonising
for being ambitious) but its
conceding goals which
is our problem.So shouldn't the club
be more focussed on getting a CDM and a CB.
The first leg
was actually a disgraceful performance and I blame the players and Wenger
for that awful show: the players because, as professionals, they should have
been able to control their emotion once they
conceded the first
goal and not throw curssion to the wind in porsuit of equalizer.
Arsene Wenger
was obviously not happy that Arsenal dropped three points against one of our direct rivals
for fourth place, but although he rued the defensive «mistakes» he felt that his team
were tired but refused to blame anyone
for the calamitous two
goals we
conceded.
Also if you see our stats
for last 5 yr, last year
was when we scored more
goals but we also
conceded more
goals.
Sead...... [Both
for the tough games, and
for weaker teams use Ramsay]... Mustafi - Per - Holding... [Best line would
be Mustafi - Per - Koz; most stay at home back 3, zero
goals conceded.]
We managed the good game part, sadly the
goals we
conceded were really poor
for us.
The worry has to
be that our next game however
is a trip to Stamford Bridge, where we have
conceded 10
goals without reply in recent years, and we now have to go there and target all three points, otherwise any hopes of winning that illustrious fourth Premier League title will
be gone
for another season.
If you look at the 2
goals conceded, our centre backs
are right at fault
for them.
Back 3 Formation
is good and it
is giving good defensive shape
for us... We
are looking more assured on defensive side of our game...
Being attacking
is always good but you have to make sure that you
are not
conceding goal because as far as you
are not
conceding a
goal, you
are not loosing game....
Since Mathieu Flamini took over from Arteta as our cover
for Coquelin, the Gunners have not lost a game, winning three of the four and only
conceding two
goals, which
is even better when you remebre that three of them
were away from home and Arsenal
were under serious pressure.
The fact dat arsenal fans have allow mediocrity
is a shame, blame giroud
for losing those chances in emirate but we lost the game bcos we
conceded 3
goals, and if u think its all down to the players then long may it continue.
The only concerns
for me
were that AC Milan had too many opportunities within our penalty area (Ospina could have
conceded a penalty) and Welbeck, although hard working, loses it in front of
goal.
Ospina
was the standout keeper,
for every two
goals Ospina
conceded the likes of Hart, De gea and Courtois let in three.
Say you have players do great in training, say we have a pre-season where we've
conceded 1
goal in 6 games and
been scoring
for fun.
There
is said to
be interest from other clubs, but at this stage it looks as though Mourinho could
be moving in on a solution
for his defensive troubles so far this season which have seen United
concede 16
goals in just 14 games.
I mean, he
was responsible
for the first
goal we
conceded in Zagreb and he
was absolutely tormented yesterday.
I think alto of people need to have a look back at the game yes we should never have
conceded 3
goals to stoke but the ref
was poor they should definitely have had at least 2 players sent off Adam should have gone and crouch wasn't jumping
for balls he
was continuously climbing players we
were being pulled and shoved by numerous stoke players but poor chambers gets the softest red card ever..........
As a result, it would surely require a player to head out first to make space
for Werner, but having spent so heavily on their attack, it
's only logical that they address their issues at the other end of the pitch given that they possess the worst defensive record of the top seven Premier League sides this season having
conceded 36
goals in 27 games.
Again, it
was OUR horrible defense that let us down when the 2nd
goal was conceded, and it
was our team that could barley put shots on target
for most of the match.
When we
concede goals even due to player mistake, officer wrong calls, they
are all Wenger's fault When we won and put in clean sheet, it
is lucky and not good enough, it
is due to «brilliant» Sanchez that we win, no credit
for the manager Now even try to distort his interview to make him look bad No sensible, construction comment, it
is all about Wenger out.
For such an outstanding result against an AC Milan side that hadnt been beaten in 2018 and for not conceding a single goal in the last several games.
For such an outstanding result against an AC Milan side that hadnt

goal in the last several games....
Arsenal
was among the top five
for most of this decade in not
conceding goals.
We played Cambridge 2s in a BUCS league match in the second week of term and lost 6 - 0, we then drew them in the second round of the BUCS cup and lost 3 - 1, holding them at 1 - 1
for much of the game before
conceding two late
goals — I think the contrast between these two results (and the performances)
is a testament to our hard work on and off the pitch and gives us a lot to
be optimistic about looking forward to next term.
Ok but where
are stats
for fouls committed, yellow cards, red cards, penalties
conceded and fault
for goals against.
Interesting to note that Arsenal have already won as many games as they did last year and scored more
goals...
for all this talk of needing a striker if you look at the number of
goals we have
conceded that
is where it has
been lost!
Another thing that struck me today
was the way our defence
was labelled as flimsy by The Guardian
for conceding two
goals away from home to a Championship side.
His fire and passion
is second to none and the way he has turned atletico into a very solid machine that rarely
concedes goals is what I want
for us.
This game contained, in brute list form: a remarkable opening
goal from David Beckham (that has
been almost completely forgotten by history, which says a lot about what
was to follow); a spawny equaliser; Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira; a (correctly) disallowed Nicolas Anelka
goal that
was (wonderfully) celebrated
for fully a minute and a half; Jaap Stam and Tony Adams; a (deserved) red card that involved the referee actively pursuing Keane, the better to take (onanistic) pleasure in the act of dismissal; extra-time; Arsenal pressure; a (hopelessly abject) foul from Phil Neville to
concede a penalty; a surprisingly tepid missed penalty from Dennis Bergkamp; Peter Schmeichel saving; Peter Schmeichel barking; an unusually sleepy pass from Vieira; and then, that run, that finish, that
goal, that winner, that completely stupid slalom through a stupified defence.
The guy put a decent shift at cb and can not
be faulted
for goals conceded in the games he played.
For me, strong individual stats must
be backed by a solid team defensive performance and in this regard, Koulibaly
is the lynch pin of the Napoli defense that
conceded the least amount of
goals behind Juventus in Serie A this season.
To make the
goal even sweeter
for Southampton fans, the free kick
was conceded by former Saints midfielder Victor Wanyama.
Meanwhile, the need
for defensive reinforcements at Liverpool
is obvious given their poor record this season with 42
goals conceded in 34 games, while Everton and Tottenham

These

goals in total, accounting
for over 36 % percent of
goals conceded in the season.
United have
conceded just five
goals in 11 Premier League games so far this season, and Jones has
been a crucial part of that impressive record as he has
been an ever - present
for the Red Devils.
The previous record
was held by Premiership rivals Chelsea, when goalkeeper Petr Cech did not
concede a top - flight
goal for 1,025 minutes in the 2004 - 2005 season.
when chambers
is in there he does nt trust him enough so he runs out of position trying to cover spots Koscielny would
be covering n gets caught out, Debuchy
is stronger has abit of pace and very good in the air Merts trusts him and his experience that
is the same
for Monreal id start Monreal or Debuchy ahead of Chambers although he
is impressive
for his age we shouldnt
be putting all our trust into a 19 year old in that position look at Stokes first
goal a simple header
for the first
goal conceded which he completely missed.
Cech
for everyone's information
was the ONLY keeper in BPL to
concede most
goals scored from shots OUTSIDE the 18yard box this past season.
There have only
been 10 occasions when a Premier League team has won six back to back games without
conceding a
goal — Chelsea
are now responsible
for half of them.
Lloris has
been one of Tottenham
's most consistent performers over the past two seasons and, though the club
conceded more
goals than any side in the top half of the table, it
's fair to say that they would have shipped in far more if not
for the French international
's heroics.
That Toral
goal is a big boost
for Arsenal as it not only ends their run of not
conceding, which includes the first leg against us at the Emirates, but because it
was the winning
goal for Birmingham it also weakens their chances of promotion and that
is a huge priority
for them this season.
Although he lacks pace, there has never
been an occasion where we
conceded goals because he
was beaten
for pace.
Was tested in a few goalmouth scrambles
for Southampton and came out without

goals we
conceded last night, as well as most this season.
