Not exact matches
Signed by Borussia Dortmund last
season, Aubameyang marked his debut for the club with a hat - trick, and has continued to show a fine eye for
goal since
then, scoring 34
goals in 84 games for the German club despite often playing out wide or behind the main striker.
i do nt think that walcott is a bad player cause we all saw what he could do
in season 12/13
in 13/14 het scored 5
goals in 5 games and
then got the horrible injury and
in 14/15 the whole crowd shouted THEO THEO THEO when walcott (and podolski i think) came
in for a game we were leading
then, after that game
in his next start which özil also started after his injury, both of them scored immediately..
People were whinging and moaning when we put him on 100k but
then he banged
in 20
goals and 10 assists the following
season and proved to be worth every cent.
but
then again, we cry out
in agony when Giroud only scores 16
goals a
season, Balotelli would score less, so even if Balotelli was handed to us for free, i wouldn't take that gamble...
If we are to believe what we read on here (not suggesting for a moment that is always a good idea)
then if we buy a «beast» CDM and a «30
goals a
season» striker
then we win everything
in sight for the foreseeable future.
If Moaninho took a 33 year old, washed up Samuel Eto'o to lead his line up and still kept «5
goals a
season» Torres
then Giroud would easily get
in the Chelsea 11, let's not mention Ba.
chamberlain chamberlain... someone said he has just 8
goals in his arsenal's career... hmmm... how many
goals did he
then score
in his first
season then....
if 41
goals in this
season makes him a busted flush
then arsenals entire forward line is essentially a the contents of my uncle ray rays septic tank
Honestly if Lacazette is as hard working as everyone says
then with him and Alexis chasing down every ball and our new formation solidifying the back line and xhaka sure to improve
in his second run
in I think this formation with Alexis and Lacazette using speed to run off the link up play of giroud and the balls being played to all three of them by xhaka and Ozil we would score enough
goals to win any match next
season.
We need better though but I'm
in full 100 % support of the purchase of Shkrodan Mustafi and Lucas Perez.Mustafi can help Koscielny now.I've been saying it here time and time again that it's not a world clsss striker we have needed but a clinical finisher which we have lacked for several
seasons and counting.Hopefully this guy puts Giroud where he belongs which is on the bench.Though a world class striker is good what we have lacked is someone who puts the game to bed
in clinical fashion but Arsene Wenger has listened to many people to the extent that if he can't get a world class striker
then he can get anyone.If Arsenal had a clinical finisher for some five
seasons or so we coulda won the EPL
then.Giroud has cost us matches and will continue to cost us matches.Giroud is half decent as someone said here the last time.I expect Perez to be much better if he can take on his man and be clinical
in front of
goal.
If he repeats his 2014/15 stats for a whole
season then that is 23
goals conceeded
in the PL all
season.
If it was an isolated incident, and he had redeemed himself by scoring lots of
goals then he could have possibly got away with it, but with an ongoing attitude problem and no
goals to show for it, I can't imagine Wenger expecting Akpom to be able to cope with the pressure or be able to score
goals in the Premiership next
season.
I believe tgere are 3 titke contenders this year Leicester, city and arsenal About Leicester they are doing great but there football depends on counter attacking and few quick passes to reach the ball to mahrez or vardy i don't think they can impress anybody if they faced teams that park the bus like what the teams do with arsenal and also any injury for mahrez or vardy will ruin there
season so i don't consider them a real challenge and
in an open game we got the best out of them and beat them with 5
goals to 2 so calm down gooners About city they had very impressing start for the
season then they were vety baf winning most games by pure luck or last minute
goals and they could be beaten easily Arsenal are the best team form we controled most of the games and the losses and draws were by bad referee decisions or bad luck and the 4 points margain with city could have been easily 10 or 12
Coutinho scored 14
goals and provided nine assists
in 36 appearances
in all competitions for Liverpool this past
season, but if he were to move to Barcelona,
then as detailed by Tite, he would have to move back into a midfield role given the current attacking trident at the Nou Camp with Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
Chamakh started solidly enough, netting ten
goals in his first few months at the Emirates Stadium but
then saw his form dip dramatically and has been surplus to requirements at Arsenal for quite some time, having not made a single minute of Premier League football thus far this
season.
The former Barcelona man started with a bang, scoring two
goals in his opening two games but
then very much went off the boil
in his first
season and was
then only used sparingly by Carlo Ancelotti last term and therefore one can see why the west London club is happy to allow the Portuguese international to make his long expected move to Brazilian side Fluminese.
But that only applies for a match
in isolation; across a league
season, when those qualitatively inferior teams have longer term
goals than just this game, here and now,
then other factors come into play.
the club need an upgrade
in that position cos if Sanchez can score that number of
goals in his first
season in that position (something Giroud hasn't done
in how many
seasons)
then we should be looking for a player
in the frame of PEA who can also use his head as well as win aerial balls and destroy defences with those guys behind him
Great for Maureen to talk about giving chance to youth players,
then go and sign a expensive big name at 29 years old For Ospina, I know he divided opinion but some statistics does not lie, we conceeded large number of
goals from crosses
in the 2nd half of the
season — he is a consistent goalkeeper and fine shot stopper but never a commanding one.
Mertz should never have been our captain
in the first place... who has ever heard of a team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz)
then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is what happens when you don't get world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating
in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played
in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's
goals this upcoming
season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual who didn't score a
goal until the final week last
season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role
in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest
in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!
Then why did that traitor jumped
in the arms of AF when he scored against us, I can forgive Sanchez he gave it all on the pitch but no way I can bring myself to forgive that traitor for leaving us after years of being injured we stuck by him an as soon as he had a
season and a half of good play he went to the enemy and celebrated
goals against us, they hate him
in Turkey suporters and punters canot belive his carector
this is what can really make our
season when you know sanchez will leave for free next
season why pay his wages sell him to psg and build a team which can stay here for years give psg sanchez and 30 million and get draxler verati krychowiak even auriar if a deal falls through when you want to win league you sould have a big squad with good players on bench look at city manu and chelsea they all have good players we need these 4 players there is no player other
then ozil who can create a
goal for stricker or play a killer pass niether bellerin or oxlade can not play a good threatning ball when striker is
in the box if we get them
People will
then be excited about the beginning of the following
season thinking we going to pick up from where we left off,
then on the 3rd game we will realise that nothing has changed.We will still have Wenger as our manager, mediocre players, shambolic defence, a striker that scores 1 of the 5 chances he gets, no DM, BFG as vice captain, Arteta leading the team as our DM, Sczerny
in goal and a medical room filled with half our squad.
In previous
seasons Giroud has an amazing run of
goals and assists but
then burns out.
From a personal perspective, I'm not sure if I would have preferred Bacca over Lucas Perez anyway, because although Bacca is arguably more experienced and more established at a higher level of European football, Perez did have a fantastic
season last year and if he is able to replicate his 17
goal tally
in La Liga
in the Premier League,
then he should have no problems fitting
in with the Gunners.
If people really want to go to town on his 8
goals in first
season, signed on dead - line day, no pre-
season, played centrally for only a small number of games (14
in fact)
then they should at least keep it
in context; look at the first
season or comparable age scoring from some of their other heroes like Kanu, Eduardo, Wiltord, Adebayor and RvP — they certainly were not ripping up trees and played centrally all the time.
The talented forward
then marked his senior debut for the Three Lions with a
goal against Lithuania
in Friday night's 4 - 0 win at Wembley, continuing his remarkable rise this
season.
Afobe has hit the ground running and already scoring
goals after banging
in 32
goals last
season which is more
then Sanogo has scored
in his entire club career.
If Theo wants to hang himself out to dry
in full view of the world and go for that CF spot
then the lad at least has some balls — unlike some I won't predict how it will go but would surprised if you could get better than even odds that he wouldn't get 15 - 20
goals if he had a
season at CF.
This
season was supposed to be a brilliant one for the talented midfielder, as he had come back with a bang towards the end of last
season, scoring a few great
goals for Arsenal and England and
then having the best pre /
season preparation that he has managed
in many a year.
Because while the internal wrinkles and the wider
season may give the games meaning on reflection, none of that's important when the ball crosses the line once,
then again,
then again and again and Again and AGAIN, each
goal thudding into the solar plexus, while the country convulses
in laughter.
If The Chimp can go for # 70 millions after one good
season,
then Cavani who scored +30
goals in 3 consecutive
seasons can go for # 50 millions — though now he might go for little less.
Taking into consideration he got 17
goals in his first
season at arsenal where I would have said he was a good back up option but shouldn't be first choice he's improved massively since
then.
He arrived with Arsenal playing at Highbury with an average attendance of 37000,
in the
season previous to Wenger joining, we finished 12th
in 1994/95,
then 5th
in 95/96, scoring just 52 and 49
goals in those
seasons.
this
season was supposed to be about the epl not fourth place.just seeing how empty the Emirates was yesterday I expect it to be even worse
in the upcoming games.wenger blew it
in the transfer market, I think that
in itself shows how we lacked ambition and we settled for a top four from the beginning and if by a chance we managed to win epl
then thats it.lossing some games, crucial points and the feedback we got back was just covering the real
goals of the club top four.soton home (a team challenging has to win this game), Crystal palace, swansea, just add those points and see where we could and should hve been.everyone here is a die hard arsenal fan whether an akb or aob but fact remains we love the club, we want the club to move forward, we want the club to be a superhouse, its got nothing to do with wengers last year or his last chance of epl.this sort of thinking is running our beloved club to the ground.whether u like it or not a change is needed and a serious one.at the moment we hve so many bogey teams do u think arsene will beat them nxt
season!!!
I seem to remember him being top scorer the
season before his injury and
then had 5
goals and 5 assists
in 10 matches the
season he was injured (that also included another 6 week injury).
If you want a striker that'll go goalless for 4 months
in a row and still end up with an decent tally of 15 - 20
goals per
season then Giroud will do the job just right.
RvP saw fabregas and nasri leave and not be replaced, he
then had a fabulous
season scoring something like 30
goals in the PL which should have powered us to first place but instead we just about made fourth (from memory).
, you have never scored more than 16
goals in a
season for us, you've divided the fanbase, we struggle with
goals with you around etc... i don't think that a top striker has those kind of qualities and i sense if a top striker comes through,
then you might be relegated to capital one league only since i favor welbeck for FA... good luck big guy
They are pretty good defensively too — conceding only 15
goals in 19 league games this
season — but if there is a position where they could improve personnel
then it is probably at centre - back.
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..
Lemar got 14
goals last
season and you want to put that
in CM and
in a position that will not get as many opportunities to score
then moan about needing players to score...
He shared the Golden Glove award with our very own,
then Chelsea player, Petr Cech
in the 2013 - 14
season, showing his capabilities
in goal.
Doing brilliantly tho 19
goals in 30 games
in league one

goals so far this
season.

do you really think you're helping the club by slurping up Wenger following 16 minutes of good play... think logically just for a second, never has Monreal contributed so much
in the final third (
then he went out injured again), we scored two
goals based on set pieces, which certainly hasn't happened
in quite some time and the other two
goal scorers have scored a handful of
goals in the past 3
seasons... this is why this club is
in the predicament they're
in because you lack any sense of perspective or foresight, much like the manager you cuddle up to regardless of whatever inane things he does that negatively impact our club... it's like finding an unopened chocolate bar
in the garbage can
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
If ALEXIS and Ozil are still
in the team
then Lacazette will score 20 + EPL
goals this
season.
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
When your
goal for each
season is simply top 4
in the EPL, and round of 16
in the Champions League,
