So with odds of close to evens for there to be more than 2.5
goals in the game seems quite generous, especially if Koscielny and De Gea do not recover in time to play.
The Geordies have scored just two goals in their last seven games so the chances of there being plenty of
goals in this game seem slim.
Not exact matches

in - the - fourth - quarter field
goal.
Iwobi recked my head last night he was weak and misplaced many passes he cant

goals in two

The

in the Frenchman.
The
game of trying to drop the kick
in between the 5 and the
goal line and force the other team to return it while you attempt get them behind the 25 yard line does not
seem to work consistently enough to make up for the kicks out of bounds, kicks that don't go far enough, and times when the coverage doesn't get the guy down short of the 25, and the injury risk that is being taken by covering the play.
A 46 yard field

seem Arsenal have suddenly struck form with six

In a single match or even a few matches, you can blame individual players or even the whole team for problems like the above.
and lastly he tends to score
in patches and unfortunately his lean.patches MOSTLY
seem to come during crucial moments and
games, its alright scoring against the Norwich and Bournemouth of the league but at the end of the day
goals against tougher opponents are much more appreciated by fans and means a lot more come end of season....

goals in 63
games for his country, the ex-Newcastle United man
seems more qualified than anyone to make a judgement on his latest successor's prospects.

in goal our team
seems now able to compete with the big boys which is evident
in our
games against Liverpool, Everton, and the Manchester clubs.
We need to change some players, even if they are good players to make our
game more dinamic, more complete.If Walcott will leave, definetly Sterling is the right choose to play with Sanchez.If Bayern will want Ozil, I think we should let him go.I think mutch people will be not agree with this, Ozil is a great player BUT is not a complete player, doesn't have enough speed and is
seems sometimes like he is not involved
in the
game.I think a switch with Gotze can be benefic for our team, he run alot, is creative and make the defensive as well.We need a Striker to, but a good one, someone like Benzema or Cavani, someome who can get at least 20
goals per season.A new DM is what we need for balance the
game, I think Vidal is the best
in the world
in this moment (is just my opinion), he working hard
in defence and can win a
game with a long shot.This is the way I see footbal.
When you compare missed chances and defensive errors it is easy to remember Mertesacker being too slow to catch up to someone or Flamini making a mistake and allowing a
goal; however we
seem to easily forget Sanchez Ozil Giroud Walcott Welbeck shooting straight at the keeper or missing the target completely several times
in one
game.
So they want good money for one of the
games most consistent
goal scorers,

goals in all truth.
His tally of five

seem too impressive, but he has only started four

So Wenger is apparently confident of getting his man
in the summer with an offer
in the region of # 20 million and for a player that was the top scorer
in Italy's top division last season with 22
goals and has scored nine from just 20
games so far this time that
seems pretty cheap
in today's transfer market.
Callum Wilson, at 23 years of age, he is developed enough to start, whilst also having time to improve, he has already scored 4 this season all coming
in his last 2
games, he has decent pace and

in front of

goal, one big plus about this deal would be that he would not be too expensive, playing for bournemouth I could see him coming for less than # 10million.

Center Bryan Trottier and top draft choice Mike Bossy, a 75 -
goal scorer for the Laval (Quebec) juniors last season,
seem to be the only Islander forwards who don't specialize

goal posts or shooting the puck over the net and into the crowd, but Bossy's checking deficiencies may keep him on the bench
in many
games.
Sterling's
goal also fired City 15 points clear of nearest rivals Manchester United, who
seem to be doing their bit to help City wrap up the title as quickly as possible after dropping four points
in their last two
games against Leicester City and Burnley.
Ryan
seems to reach a new milestone every week and to think that he now has 23 unbroken years of league
goals behind him is truly amazing
in the modern - day
game.
All of the teams around us also
seem to have easy
games in midweek, so it is vital that we keep up the pressure with a good win at Loftus Road and also that we increase our
goal difference.
Arsenal
seem to be having a mental block
in front of
goal at the moment but we still have an excellent home record, winning every single
game this season except for the debacle against Man United, so we should be feeling pretty confident playing at the Emirates nowadays.
Some deluded fans
seem to think that coquelin is the solution to our midfield problems and that we don't need a new cdm.This has been a common occurrence during transfer windows whereby average players step up their
game since they know their place is under threat, and it works wonders
in convincing our disillusioned manager.But once the window closes that's when we see the true colours of the players, or they get injured the day after the window closes.Remember yaya sanogo putting 4 past benfica and everyone thinking he's going to score 10 +
goals this season?Monreal looked impressive at CB during preseason and somehow convinced wenger that he doesn't need a new CB, the list is endless.
Tipped as the «future of Polish football», Milik's style of play mimics fellow Polish international and Bayern Munich
goal machine Robert Lewandowski, incredible lay off play, disgusting left foot (I mean this
in the positive sense, he literally looks like he would break the net whenever he shoots) and at 22
seems to be developing at a staggering rate, having made his international debut at the Euro championships, and featured
in quite a few
games at that, has attracted the attention of a few clubs
in Europe needing a Centre forward, as he appears ready to take centre stage
in one of Europes top teams.
It
seemed to take a while for Arsenal to warm up this season with just five
goals in our first six League
games, but suddenly we exploded against Leicester and have now scored ELEVEN
in our last three
games.
Already having beaten Manchester City this next tie
seemed to be all the more interesting to us, with a
game where we matched them
in every way only to be denied victory with a late conceded
goal.
I could be reading too much into it, but it
seems like he was not too happy when Lacazette scored
in the first
game and
in the second one when our new signing went to congratulate him on his
goal I thought Olivier ignored him.

It might
seem a little unfair on our replacement keeper David Ospina, as the Colombian international has not conceded a single
goal in those
games against Hull City and Stoke City and has only just been given his own chance after recovering from the injury he brought with him to Arsenal from the World Cup finals, but it sounds like Arsene Wenger is really trying to build a strong competitive spirit between his two main shot stoppers.
