Not fantasy just look at Giroud, Theo, Ozil, Cazorla, Sanchez, Ramsey thats got to be 90/100
goals in a season without anyone else chipping in.
Not exact matches
In football, the
goal each week is to win (and do so
without sustaining any
season - ending injuries).
Giroud is a good CF, but sometimes he goes
in goaless Spells, like last
season 12 matches
without a
goal.
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.
Last
season Giroud scored 16
goals which Isn't terrible at all but he went 12 matches
in a row
without scoring
the mighty g - rod will get 20
goals this
season and contribute to our title winning success am getting bored
without some kind of transfer rumors happening wheres the rumor mongers at these days just a tid bit will do (even if it is fabricated don't mind anymore at all at this moment
in time) lol COYG
Kadri has been held
without a point
in each of his three skates against the Lightning
in 2017 - 18 (had two
goals and two assists
in four games against the Bolts last
season).
And Olivier Giroud was having a fantastic
season in front of
goal, so who could have expected him to go on his longest run of games
without scoring since he joined the club?
It means the Brazilian champions have now gone two games
without scoring a
goal in this
season's tournament after they also drew 0 - 0
in their opening game — an away trip to Universitario.
Breaking his duck against Dortmund this
season after a whole year
without a
goal for the young striker was certainly a highlight
in a
season of lows for the Gunners so far.
We conceded the least amount of
goals last
season without a WC keeper and were the strongest team
in 2015.
I'm aware Chelsea conceded a fair portion of their
goals after the title was already secured but their scoring at the other end dried up substantially second half of
season... Just to reiterate that was
without Cech or Debuchy and our much improved defensive record when the required personnel was added is a big part of my belief that we're
in the position to challenge currently.
Cesc Fabregas started the
season in supreme form, producing more assists than most other Premier League teams could produce
goals, and Costa's lack of
goals — he's
without one
in seven games — has coincided with his countryman's injury.
Zlatan has not gone a full
season without scoring at least 10
goals in nearly ten years.
You need at least two forwards who consistently score all
season Theo and Giroud were terrible
in the 2nd half of the
season Giroud went 15 PL matches
without a
goal (scoring two
goals in FA Cu after 12th PL game) We were lucky to get some
goals from Welbeck, Alexis and some others Even Alexis who is WC hasn't been consistent all
season but he can be Mahrez and Vardy were consistent all
season
Therefore, a new 3 injections of a CF, a RW and a LW are required at Arsenal to adequately cope with the long haulage of next
season without suffering a breakdown
in terms of scoring sufficient
goals consistently during the campaign.
but, here's a little reminder of his importance (i) upon arrival his was the
goal that catapulted into th CL; (ii) when others were tired and unable to respond he has the strength of character to fight to bring us into the game; (iii) he scores the
goal to save us face
in FAC after last
seasons fiasco; (iv) he is
without equal our best player so he already earned the right to be
in the highest bracket of epl strikers, we need sanchez desperately we've no choice other than to pay # 320K + and build into his deal performance rated enhancements so as we're all able to move forwards.
And also 2015 - 2016 when Giroud went 15 games
in a row
without scoring a
goal, Wenger played Walcott up front instead of Alexis who is a better finisher and following
season proved he could score 20 + PL
goals.
They'd rather wait for the one time it fails so they can bash You blame the manager for being favourist yet a fellow blogger praising a player he previously bashed is called being two faced You kill Ramsey for a blind pass attempting to enter the opposition final third yet you won't blame Sanchez for turning over the ball
in a pointless dribble with three free team mates You kill metersacker for deflecting a shot into his own net but won't touch kos for getting out of the way of a shot he could have sufficiency blocked You claim with no substantial proof that arteta, mert, Ramsey, can not lead arsenal anywhere substantial yet they have each at a point been a massive cause for stability and progress when called upon Even after reading this comment, you will ignore the fact that kos was awful until partnerd with mert, our defensive mid with song leaked more
goals than the one with arteta and we've struggled to win
without him at least until late last
season.
Parting thought, Thierry Henry
without penalties managed 25 once and averaged (I'll be generous and call it 7.5
seasons rather than the 8 because he only played intermittently
in his last
season) 20
goals a
season.
Arsenal have been a miserable failure
in the big games this
season, winning only one from ten, and we need four
goals without reply against Bayern.
Last
season Giroud started game after game when we were
in a title race
without scoring a single
goal.
Goals from Gary Cahill and Diego Costa handed the Blues a victory
in the reverse fixture earlier on
in the
season and the Merseyside outfit are
without a win against Chelsea
in the last seven meetings between the two
in all competitions.
Not a lot of strikers
in Europe that have notched 25 +
goals the past three
seasons without injury struggles.
He gives us 15/16
goals a
season without scoring penalties or even completing 90 minutes
in every game.
You won't hear Real talk about their
goal threat and home
in solely on Benzema (with 15 league
goals last
season)
without mentioning their LAM / inside forward — I forget his name.
He can get double digit
goals in a
season with enough game time and
without injury.
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
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
He is a liability
in defence and all these fans that say he unlocks teams with his great vision, 4 PL games this
season, no
goals, no assists, nothing
in the FA Cup final, we beat Chelsea
in the Community Shield
without him and have now gone on a winning streak after a great performance at Stamford Bridge,
without Özil.
i think this could officially be the start of the end for wenger his blind arrogance has cause him to buy welbeck
in the sheer belief that AGAINST THE ODDS HE CAN BEAT THE REST OF THE BIG 4 WITH ONE ARM BEHIND HIS BACK we should be buying top top top european c / l standard players not sunderland spuds everton standard players thats about welbecks standard of club
in all truthful reality he is an honest hard working player but wenger thinks he can coach the mediocrity out of him he is truely insane its a guaranteed source of
goals we need not more fancy hold up play and «pace» and missing chance after chance so the postman is to be joined by the manchester metro tram absolute disgrace he has kidded on ozil and sanchez they must be wondering what is going on atm they are seeing the true wenger now just panicking and not panicking very well to that effect and for some reason wenger has gone all kinky for english players for some strange reason at least chambers has great potential welbeck has past that stage and is a
seasoned pro now and he is no where near what we need wenger is trying to show how great he is by whiping the back out of the same players week after week
in the vain hope that he can win the league
without rotating ever and they will get injured and he wont have learned his lesson and we will pay for it
in the end best last day transfer would have been a 4 year contract for klopp
Let's not forget that is this same Ospina being underrated
in some quarters is the very keeper that have kept the
goal for Arsenal successfully this
season in 6 Ucl group stage matches
without losing a single match
in the 6 matches he has kept the
goal for us.
Let's be honest Gooners, the chances of us going to France and scoring three
goals without reply against a side that has only conceded 22
in 34 European and league games all
season are about the same as Di Maria or Falcao winnning Player of the S
season are about the same as Di Maria or Falcao winnning Player of the
SeasonSeason.
Kane went first eight games this
season for tottenham
without scoring and only got one
goal in his first fourteen games.
Even
without injury Giroud is not good enough, he's not scored a single
goal in 7 straight games, his best
season in terms of
goals as a professional came when Montpellier won the league even then he scored 21
goals in the French league so it's debatable if he would have gotten to 20 this
season!
In the recent past it has easily been Ramsey because of his
goal scoring form, but Wilshere this
season is clearly returning to full form after a decent run of games
without that niggling ankle injury.
And you say he was never as important as Hossa, which may be true, but Saad still scored 31 and 24
goals, respectively,
in Columbus
without Hossa while also setting a career high
in points
in each of those two
seasons.
we faced them twice
without loosing against them beating them
in d process, world class matic was
in chelsea team we dominated and annihilated @ fa cup finals, with matic making zero successful tackles and was a liability all tru d duration of d match, was ran over by our midfielders like ever, lukaku was
in Everton team we beat 3; 0 even with 10 men, even with Mert @ our back he couldn't even smell a
goal, the way we ridicule our players is terrible, to some dudes here all we have is bunch of idiots, parading as players, what a pathetic bunch of ingrates, between Sanchez and walcot last
season we have 49
goals and numerous assists, how many
goals has Rashford and Martial scored since last
season that makes they super stars?
@Fredcowardly Aree 100 % BUT I don't see Wenger doing Zilch at present and I would bet my Ar $ e virginity that we wont get Lacazetta or any other top striker and whilst it would be a step
in the right direction to get Cech and Kondogbia,
without a consistant
season long
goal scorer it wont make a blind bit of difference.
Last
season he was great and even this
season he scored more than 20
goals in ligue 1
without his mate Fekir.
Despite going through a poor run of late which has seen him go eight games
without a
goal, it's unlikely to stop a scramble over his signature
in the summer, with the striker scoring an impressive ten
goals in 25 league appearances this
season.
scored the superb winning
goal away to Atletico Madrid to wrap up the title victory, making it three
seasons in a row
without finishing as champions for Real.
The 21 - year old Fulham academy graduate enjoyed a stellar first
season in the SPL, scoring 32
goals and helping Celtic to achieve what the Gunners did 11 years ago and go an entire
season without loss
in the league, although the standards of the two divisions are somewhat different.
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 was...
There should be consequences for bad games (Ramsey keeps making the same mistakes, Ozil doesn't always put
in an effort, Giourd went 500 games
without a
goal a few
season ago yet they are or were more or less automatic starters, whilst Perez couldn't get a game whether he scored
goals or made assists, not unlike Campbell)
The 29 - year - old has bagged 30
goals in 39 appearances so far this
season to establish himself as a fundamental piece
in City's successful run, but
without him, they have missed a key element of their play.
Giroud's 3
goals and 2 assists for France will have absolutely no bearing on Arsenal, this is still the striker who went 15 games
without scoring a single
goal, we need more than his 16
goals, what we need is a striker who'll score 20 league
goals out of the 38 game league
season and who'll have 30
goals in all competitions including the champions league and FA cup!
Last
season 12 PL matches
in a row
without a
goal.
Salah managed 34
goals in two
seasons with Roma and has already hit four more than that with Liverpool, so they definitely won't want to be
without him for any lengthy period.
Last
season the tottingham lad went I think 11 games
without a
goal but again played us and bang they go
in.
