goes at defenders especially in tight defenses
The speed of Portugal on the wings will be tough to defend, as Ronaldo and Nani (Manchester United) are not afraid to

Not exact matches
Wenger is sitted on the bench noticing all that but come up with a solution to it, flamini keeps on making silly fouls but even when the referee is lenient wenger can't take him off... we lead a red carded side with an injured
defender but wenger can't think of how to keep the lead instead he opts to replace AS17 who had a «leg» in both goals and bring in a non effective monreal who isn't good
going forward neither is he good defending... i strongly believe had it been AS17
at the rebound of the shot from Carzola that would have been the winning goal.
Would a top quality striker and central
defender be enough for Arsenal to finally have a proper
go at regaining the EPL trophy next May?
Spurs are gonna come
at us with everything... we need a fast striker with quick feet who can be a nuisance, stretch
defenders and create clever chances like Sanchez does.
Casspi is a better
defender, passer but I think given the nature of his injury, and his propensity to take it to the basket instead of shooting from outside, he probably wasn't
going to be as effective
at all to begin with.
I'll
go a step further if Van Djik hasn't signed for Liverpool I would try to make a move and here is why: 1) Prem experience 2) Southampton plays a similar style of football than Arsenal 3) He can play in both a 3 and 4 man defense with his ability on the ball 4) Mustafi has been up and down and I don't know which one we're getting ahead of next season and will it be for 38 weeks 5) Mertesacker will
go into a non playing role 6) Chambers has played well
at Boro but well enough to play a big role into this team... not really and could be used in any deal for Van Djik 7) Koscielny is our best
defenders but is dealing with a chronic injury not only that he hasn't made the best decisions
at times Everything mentioned above will free wages but also increase Wenger money to spend!
Reminds me of gervinho, looks better
at finishing and passing, we need players like these who
go direct
at the
defenders, we only have ox and sanchez who does this and sometimes iwobi, which gets us goals, fouls in or around the penalty area.
Until there is reinforcements, we can't afford to loan any of those young
defenders out... but saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger
goes against logic and leaves us short
at the back.?
It's the struggles of
defenders like this that could yet see Chris Hughton's side
go down
at the end of the season.
He launches an attack for Arsenal, he sees Welbeck making a run, he kicks the ball, the ball lands
at Welbeck's feet, he notices Sanchez making a run, he passes the ball to Sanchez, Sanchez does his dribbling drills, two
defenders are out, he had an option to either
go for goal or pass the ball to an on - rushing Xhaka, he chose to lay the ball for Xhaka, who then fires an unstoppable shot into the net for our third goal!.
Guardiola then
went on to add «Maybe we are thinking of looking
at another central
defender because of Vincent's problems, John Stones is four or five weeks out.

go of one of the most highly rated young
defenders in the world game, the youngster has made no qualms about his disappointment

at the capital club, despite having won the league this season.
At other times, Sutton displayed an ability to use his height well,
going up to get the ball in the air over smaller
defenders.
A healthy Abate and Federico Balzaretti are decent
defenders, but they're both better
going forward than they are
at defending.
i think we should
go for a scoreless draw with five
defenders, Kolasinac could double as a striker or
at least try for clean sheet and if we get one in its great

at how Easley they put our
defender understand pressure with quality passing.
good
defenders don't
go cold like offensive players The issue is that I don't think Donovan is even gonna look
at them as potential solutions to the problems he largely created by benching them.
In that time we've brought in Ozil (world class), Sanchez (world class), Debuchy (top quality
defender), Chambers (
going to be a top quality
defender), Welbeck (quality and will hopefully further improve) and Ospina (who knows but looked pretty good
at the wc).
Big in your list I can agree that all these players would improve us, but let's look
at our CB At the moment Kos, top player but is struggling with a inj which may or may not heal, at the moment he isn't match fit so not up to his own high standard, so needs help or a defender of his quality so he can go and recover properly So then we have Mert, too slow and no longer good enough, I'm not sure if he's even good enough for 3 rd choice CB, too slow, poor on the air for his size and not brave enough, he's lasted this long due to Kos he needs a Top class CB just to allow him to play against average teams Ok now Reid not top class we can all agree so we couldn't really play him with MERT as he isn't Kos quality so can't cover merits deficiencys He could be ok with Kos but Kos is struggling So is Reid what we need???? And finally Wenger if he has all 3 fit will still play Kos / Mert first choice Oh and God forbid we play MERT / Reid against the top teams like Chels / city / utd / Southampton Chuckle chuck
at our CB

defender either side because he can put in across with his right foot.
In the Monaco game we are
going to need all the pace we can get
at the back, it's
going to be a risky game for us as we have to start well and we are
going to
go for it, this means we will be exposed
at the back, that is where we need 2 quick central
defenders, Kossy and Gabriel can look after themselves on the counter, but Mertesacker has no chance, so I think if we play Merte then we ain't got a chance
at all, they will counter on us and due to him being slow.
If you're
going to play 3
at the back then you need 3
defenders capable of playing CB, Bellerin is a RB converted from RW, moving him into the right side of a back 3 would he removing a lot of his potential.
Catching Chelsea would mean, an abundance of luck, no more injuries (When Chelsea will get crucial ones, Fabregas, Costa, Courtois and
defenders as examples), a tactical enlightenment from Wenger (that would call for a miracle), beat Man United, Man City, Chelsea
at Home and not waist points against Liverpool and win all the odds games against the lower teams (as well as being kicked out of the CL and not
go far in the Uefa Cup as we don't have the squad to do either anyway).
I.think we need
at least five players, a
defender, holding midfielder, a winger goalkeeper and a striker, so let Alexis Sanchez
go.
Most should be sold off or
go I feel we gave build a great club on quick sand Over the past 10 years The old board sold us out and took the money and ran The new board just keep taking the money Problem is when aw does to leave or get pushed we still have people

at pool and feel a bit envious They were so far behind us a few seasons ago and now they seem a long wsy in front for now They willingly or unwillingly got a
defender they needed and we got sweet fa Up the gooners We are arsenal till we die
During 20 years

defenders to
go into the Arsenal starting eleven.
The supporters who are
going on and on about «he didn't replace Vermaellen and he should have bought another
defender» I am sure you are all capable of looking into the future and you knew that Kos and Debuchy would get injured
at the same time.
Allowing Cesc to
go to a rival was a sackable offence, who would you rather have in your squad for the city game, Cesc or «fall to the ground or run
at a wall of
defenders» Jack?
Walcott to run
at defenders from the get
go so as to unsettle Chelsea.
The United manager admitted yesterday that he only has one fit centre half available for tomorrow's game
at West Ham, and many would argue that his injured
defenders aren't good enough anyway - playing a striker or a winger in an unfamiliar midfield role ahead of them is not
going to help
It's Thursday tomorrow and we are STILL nowhere near signing a
defender...... What the hell is
going on
at this club!?!? The whole Mahrez story has been about him getting a new bumper deal
at Leicester.
I mean Ospina was
at least
going to have a chance to save it if Alex wasn't there to put it in his own net after both our right
defender and winger were nowhere near their LEFT BACK.
Wenger bought his wallet to Italy forgot to leave few pound for a
defender can't help it he's touching on in the years mind
goes at his age
I for one would
go and get him straight away as Ben Yedder is an all round striker a bag of tricks he plays in a lower team and scored a bag full of goals which means he fought hard against better
defenders to get his goals Ben Yedder can come
at you from any direction with either foot and score and he is good
at set pieces two I would be ecstatically delighted if we sign him up as we would have our own Mahrez
At the other end of the field, The Mirror claims that Everton

what if we've got ta face bayern again and bayern beat us 1 - 3
at the emirates again and we beat them 2 - 0
at the alliance and bayern qualify with the away goal and chelsea win the champions league and we fail to finish top 4 and hull get their revenge and beat us the fa cup and sanchez
go back to barcelona cuz suarez cant score and ozil move to man city and man u win the premiere league and wenger does nt resign and giroud welbeck remains our strikers and flamini arteta our defensive midfielders and merty our
defender and captain until 2030 oh oh oh oh oh
Jones skied over a
defender while
going in for a dunk during a dunk contest
at the school.
Welbeck, wilshere, mertasacker out, with our best player Ozil not match fit he says alongside koscielny our best
defender with a week to
go lol you just couldnt make it up only
at Arsenal.
@josh... And before you troll my comment... By saying we need a versatile
defender, I mean one who could play L.B as gibbs n monreal can't
go a season without an injury... Mert is aging, wenger haven't played chambers
at C.B for a very lon time even when he's slow and sometimes woeful
at R.B, Kos is Top class but he needs proper handling, debuchy have been getting frequently injured lately, Bellerin can't do it all alone, that leaves us with gabriel who's only just arrived and is getting used to the league....
A win is a win and very happy with that, worry bout Sanchez he needs a break and he won't get one playing for his country twice, then we have Liverpool, our squad is very thin
at the moment, hopefully we can strengthen in the summer schnidelin and lacazette, plus a young
defender Sell Walcott he's been paid for months without playing and he shouldn't hold the club to ransom Buy a young promising player in his place, he can
go to Liverpool I don't care if he doesn't want to play for the shirt
go
I'm sure the Arsenal
defender will want to play the full game as France have good options in the shape of Sakho, Varane Mathieu and more and Koscielny will want to lay down a marker for Euro 2016, but hopefully Dider Deschamps will want to look
at a few players and
go easy on Kos.
However, if we do
go for Hummels and are successful, it will surely mean that one of the current first choice central
defenders at Arsenal would miss out.
playing 2 most inexperienced
defenders at a
go?
I agree with some that he shouldn't have let Gabriel
go as I for one thought despite having a some erratic episodes in games, he was a good
defender and provided that solidity
at times when he applied the qualities of robustness and fortitude to defending.
wenger is not openly known to lie about a «dead certain transfer» of a player maybe on certain occasions to cover some targets he denies any involvement in some circumstances but generally if he says that we are not close to signing a
defender then it ai nt happening until he gives the
go ahead and not a second sooner, it just drives the papers mad not knowing wengers next move absolute genius
at it he is
at leading the press a merry dance and i love it am certain wenger will get who we need not more not less
