«I managed to get
the goal at a great time and to be fair to the lads it's an unbelievable performance all round.
Not exact matches
He did not rouse people to anger but worked steadily towards the
goal, achieving a measure of freedom that
at one
times seemed impossible... and then, under God's providence, achieving a
great deal more.
Maggie knows exactly what she wants
at all
times and she is deeply determined to achieve her
goals: I keep telling the other kids that this will be a
great character trait later on her life.
Ozil and Walcott have played a tiny number of games together but have a
great goal and assist record inn those games, they need to be on the pitch
at the same
time.
Giroud misses more than he hits, Walcott has NEVER delivered his expected talent, Welbeck will NEVER be the striker to score 20
goals a season Coqellin will NOT go a whole season injury or suspension free, Sanchez and Ozil WILL have down period during the season, all teams have these problems to a
greater or lesser degree but most of the top teams will address these problems and players either inprove or are sold and replaced with better or
at least more consistant players, NOT Wenger he keeps doing the same thing over and over with the same players and he expects a different result but gets the same outvome
time and
time again, yet its ALWAYS someone else's fault be it the Ref or the linesman or the opposition or bad luck or whatever and whoever and its NEVER the fact that HE has done nothing to change the situation and LOOKS LIKELY to not change it next
time around.
Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan built up a
great partnership during their
time at Dortmund, as they contributed 62
goals and provided 44 assists between them in their last campaign together with the Bundesliga outfit in 2015/16.
His power was a
great advantage and his runs did end with
goals at times.
Like, every
time I look
at Premier League
greats goal scoring compilations, there are always a few strikes of beauty against us.
While
at Arsenal, he made
great impacts in the team; between 2012 to 2015, he appeared 60
times for Arsenal, scoring 19
goals in the process and mostly as a substitute.
Unsurprisingly our
great French striker Olivier Giroud yet again comes out on top with a cost of only (lol) # 275,000 per
goal, while Walcott is three
times that price
at # 726,000.
He was one of the
great box - to - box midfielders of all
time and was scoring
goals regularly for the Blues until he left
at the age of 35.
Theo Walcott almost got my nod for Man of the Match because of his all round performance, especially before the break when his
goal really set us on the way, but he was not so influential after the restart and Alexis Sanchez was dazzling
at times, scoring a
great goal and providing a lovely assist, so once again the Chilean was the main man for Arsenal.
Sanzhez played in the confederation cup lead Chile to a win (after being such a big part of our season) to come back 2 weeks after (when most have had a good rest) didn't get to settle fully then got injured sine then he has not been
at his best (bad season for him) Ozil for me has had a near
great season scored a assist 18 +
goals what more can you ask for... you are trying to put the way Giroud is useless 70 % of the
time and compare with two people who have made us better..
Great news With Cazorla out and Xhaka banned its perfect
timing for Aaron to help us out He was fantastic for Wales
at the Euros Hope he can get back to his best 2013 - 14 he scored 16
goals and 9 assists.
Llorente and Firmino undoubtedly each get the plaudits for two
great goals apiece, while it was a second half to forget for the Liverpool backline as they buckled again to leave their record
at 27
goals conceded in 22 games which gives them the worst defensive record in the Premier League
at the
time of writing.
back in the day we had a double act up front that worked in tandem perfectly in berkamp and henry one couldn't really function without the other properly almost the perfect combo for a strike pair graceful speedy winger converted c / f and the perfect no 10 with perfect all round vision and goalscoring ability what do we have now that is that equivalence we have a wordly no 10 but no
great gracefully speedy henry type c / f and there are none like that out there atm maybe a few potential wannabes remy lacaztte and the likes but really ozil needs a double act with someone and maybe we will see it click into place with sanchez maybe he has the ability to be an henry winger converted c / f has similar traits pace skill strength can score ace
goals just needs to find his feet
at c / f and he will form a deadly partnership with ozil i think maybe the old
time wenger classic 4411 the ox on the left and walcott on the right Ramsey and new d / m in the middle would work a treat for me this formation never dies out just gets reinvented to suit the players available
this window has just finished i am already thinking about who we will get for the january window we might try for khedira on a really low offer as he is free agent almost would help boost numbers in midfield in the new year as we will no doubt need to filling the numbers about then also i will hold my hands up and say i was wrong this morning for giving wenger stick and saying welbeck is rubbish i have been out in the cold light of day and had a chance to reevaluate the situation and realized that this could be a canny shrew transfer on wenger behalf actually if wenger can turn the clock back and work his magic on welbeck and get him scoring
goals and improve his game then we could have a
great underrated signing on our hands its wengers absolute trust in him that might be what makes him a
great player as this is something that he never had
at old mordor if anybody can make him a world beater wenger can he loves this little pet projects improving players against the odds welbeck has the skillset to be high class player upfornt he just needs to work very hard on his finishing i think once he gets a few
goals under his belt he will settle in fine and he is a team player you could put him on the left against man city to shore up that side and he will put in a
great shift without a complaint that could be his biggest asset to us or on the right whenever we need him there ithinkwenger might start himon the left against city to protect the left back against navas and i bet you if he does a
great job we will take a shine to him quickly i am hopeing he will be one of those wenger gems that he finds and polishes up to a high finish i must admit i was annoyed as some other gunners were
at not signing d / m and c / h but if wenger does win the league with this lot it will be his
greatest win yet and what might play in to our hands is the unpredictable nature of the league in the last few seasons if we get on a good run
at the right
time we might be hard to stop look
at city they should have never lost to stoke but the result is there in black and white for all to see and i think chelsea will hit the skids after a while to just because cesc and costa are doing well now thats there main threat but teams will work out how to stop them as the season goes on and chelsea will become predictable i think we might just do well this season after all
I did not realise
at the
time, and apparently neither did he, but when Wayne Rooney profited from a lucky rebound off the bar to score the only
goal of the game to give United a jammy win
at Liverpool, it took him past the Arsenal
great Thierry Henry in terms of Premier League
goals for a single club.
One of the
greatest footballers of all
time, Alfredo Di Stefano, who scored 307
goals in 396 appearances for Real Madrid, has sadly died today
at the age of 88.
Well im not in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and
great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the
time although were terrible in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a
goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads in the first 60 minutes like we have for the most part and in those games those games should of been killed even if we give a
goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be
goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality in front
goal a player the chances have been there im looking
at the failure of the strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many
goals recently as our strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one in th first 60 mins of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this season not the tactics but the finishing
Our
goal at Junior Gym is to promote a healthy active lifestyle by providing a fun environment for kids to get some exercise in a group setting while having a

1) Domenico Berardi... This may come has a huge surprise but hear me out;
at 21 Years of age he has pretty much established himself as a force to be reckoned with in Italian Football, scoring 39

The
goals scored by him have come
at those
times when I never ever expected him to score and by proving me wrong, Giroud has brought to me the
greatest JOY and HAPPINESS ever!
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
Our second
goal was vital as it came on the stroke of half
time with a
great slick passing move finished by Welbeck and it looked to have done the trick as we looked the most likely after the break but once again that man Vardy punished our sloppiness
at the back.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really wa

I do feel we were unlucky to lose to a penalty and an offside
goal, although the penalty decision for me was correct, although I don't feel we needed Monreal to take Sterling down as he didn't appear to have
great control over the ball
at the
time.
But as well as ability to pull a stunning solo effort out of the hat, it is also more difficult to score a
great goal at an important
time; when the pressure is on, that's when the best players do their stuff; playing against better quality of opposition means you have to do something a bit more special, and to have the guts to try it.
There is a reason Wilshere has come in for so much criticism for not fulfilling his potential, and that's because he simply doesn't score these
great goals at the vital
time.
Then he went into a
great moment last year scoring important and amazing
goals but there was another injury and when you lose your place
at Arsenal it takes
time to get back and he did struggle.
«He has done
great things for Borussia Dortmund
at this
time, scored many important
goals and is part of the team that brought the DFB Cup to Dortmund in 2017.
But such has been the
great form of France international forward Olivier Giroud since his return from injury
at the same
time as the
goals dried up for our Chilean powerhouse, the two are now tied on 13 league
goals apiece, with Giroud just two behind in all competitions with 17.
Had a knack for scoring world - class
goals and blessed with a
great final ball, it was no fluke Brett Emerton was incredibly highly thought of during his
time at Ewood Park.
But, however you choose come
at it all, what those numbers add up to seems increasingly clear: Mohamed Salah is having one of the all -
time great goal - scoring seasons in the modern game and is putting up the kind of numbers that set him out as a player who is, right now, one of the game's top three attackers.
Whilst we have seen
great attacking play from Swansea this season
at times their defence has lacked coherence and strength which has led to the Swans conceding very poor
goals with prime reference being made to their fixture
at Anfield the Sunday before their Carling Cup final triumph, if Arsenal catch Swansea on a day such as that tomorrow then it could well be to quote Gary Neville «bingo
time» for Santi Cazorla with the quick footed Spaniard having the potential to put a disorientated and poorly organised defence to the sword.
They flew back in
time to greet our visitors Crystal Palace here
at Anfield for our Barclays Premier League fixture, despite a
great goal by Coutinho we didn't manage to gain any points.

He scored 2
goals, Fantastic positioning, Pace, vision and finninshing, but I could see that for a long period of
time, Arteta was alone in the middle against Palace pressing while Ox was not available aroiund him to receive the ball or fight them back back and it made us vulnerable until General Rosicky came in Ox will be a
great great midfielder if he pay more attention to this, Just like the game of 3 - 0 Ac Milan
at Emirates
he's a decent central midfielder who pops up and scores way more than his fair share of
goals, and
at the same
time is a
great leader
Maksim you are 100 % percent right about Dan Petrescu's faith in youngsters.In just a few months he gave chances to Ivan Solovyov, Pavel Solomatin and Vladimir Sobolev to play in the first team.As for Mogilevets i think he will become and excellent player but not
at Zenit.He needs to move elsewhere (and not on loan) to play first team football like Ionov did a few years ago.In my opoinion Zenit needs a striker (if they sell Hulk to AS Monaco) to score
goals.Kerzhakov is not
at his best, Bukharov has forgotten when was the last
time he score and Dordevic is not gonna get a chance.I understand that midfielders of Zenit are all capable of scoring
goals like Shirokov, Danny, Witsel, Bystrov and Fayzulin but thats striker's job and Zenit may lose a player on the filed.And something else, i was so impressed with Yuri Lodigin's performance against Krasnodar and maybe Zenit found a
great replacement for Malafeev.

I saw the

times at WHL and he was my all
time hero and still is.Back in the days before club shirts my mother had to iron on a cockerel and a number 8 on my shirt.Happy days.In reply to Maturin's post was that not the
goal shown on the opening credits to Star Soccer?.
«By half -
time we scored so many
great goals in the first half,
at 4 - 1 the target was not to concede anymore and maybe score one more.
I know you guys are going to think strange things of me, and maby the majority were not around
at the
time, let me refresh your memories on
great Arsenal

At the
time, no one would know how vital this transfer window would be to their current success.Like many of the other players from that transfer window, Higuain would prove to be a
great signing, becoming one of the most prominent
goal scorers in the Peninsula with a capocannoniere in the 15/16 season after bagging 36
goals.
He just needs a chance the same as Burke, he has an instinct for scoring
goals and not many have that, he will never be a
great passer or header or tackler but very few have that nack of being in the right place ie Lineker or Greaves don't laugh I know he is a long way from there standard but they had to start
at the bottom to, if you watch him he never panics in front of
goal he hits the target and forces the keeper to make saves, He needs to sharpen up his pace owner 2 yards and practice his shooting and practice his
timing of runs to stop off sides.
