Against Everton both
goals were conceded as a result of the full back, in this case Gaëtan Bong getting pulled out of position.
The 30 - year - old had a rough start to this year's Premier League campaign and was often at fault for
goals being conceded as Arsenal fans started to criticise the German.
Not exact matches
They
are not
as secure at the back
as WBA and
are therefore more susceptible to
conceding goals.
referring decisions also go in our favour, for instance that dortmund
goal sanogo scored
was clearly offside, these things
are apart of football, GREAT teams overcome these obstacles, GREAT teams do not crumble with 3 or 4
goal leads, GREAT teams do not
concede 3 +
goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut chances to score, united have academy players in defence, in fact our defensive players
are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have had an injury list just
as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result, so why on earth
are united in the title race and not arsenal?
But Paul Lambert's team, who had
conceded 15
goals and scored none in their last three games,
were unable to hold on
as Graham volleyed home after a late goalmouth scramble.
royalman — in peace,
was Chambers really to blame for the two
goals conceded to Palace and
AS Monaco??
It will
be difficult
as Monaco
concede few
goals, but we have the «tools» to change the odds.
Am I the only one who doesn't see the Palace
goal we
conceded as problematic?
We can't sacrifice the club
's ambitions and wellbeing on the altar of a player
's personal glory, it
's the business end of the competition and Cech has the experience of having won it, Ospina
conceded three
goals [home and away] against PSG, the only opposition on the level of those we'll
be meeting from now on, three
goals against in the knockout stages
is bordering on disastrous
as we all know how tight these affairs
are.
The first leg
was actually a disgraceful performance and I blame the players and Wenger for that awful show: the players because,
as professionals, they should have
been able to control their emotion once they
conceded the first
goal and not throw curssion to the wind in porsuit of equalizer.
By the way Leicester
conceded the same number of
goals as Arsenal,
as such its 3
goal advantage by itself can not explain why they
are champions.

Back 3 Formation
is good and it
is giving good defensive shape for us... We
are looking more assured on defensive side of our game...
Being attacking
is always good but you have to make sure that you
are not
conceding goal because
as far
as you
are not
conceding a
goal, you
are not loosing game....
Since Mathieu Flamini took over from Arteta
as our cover for Coquelin, the Gunners have not lost a game, winning three of the four and only
conceding two
goals, which
is even better when you remebre that three of them
were away from home and Arsenal
were under serious pressure.
And should losing their lead happened in error next time, they MUST play with general team discipline in defending individually and
as a team unit so
as not to
concede a backbreaker
goal which almost happened yesternight if Cavani
was more prolific.
We haven't
conceded many
goals and we've
been scoring
goals as well.
@RSH And it
's just
as easy to defend well to try and avoid
conceding such
goals.
Arsenal could not have picked a worse time to face Antonio Conte's side, who easily beat Swansea 5 - 0 two days ago while resting Eden Hazard, and who have only
conceded one
goal in their last 5 League games
as they moved up to
be Man City's closest challengers, albeit 14 points behind Pep Guardiola's side.
I have to say that we had such a poor reaction after going ahead, when we should have
been looking to bury Everton rather than dropping off, but that has
been symptomatic of a lot of our games this season — why, I
'm not sure,
as we always
concede goals and then have to go on the offensive anyway.
Anyukov would have
been equally upset with the result
as Zenit
conceded a 91st - minute
goal to Goncalves Oliveira to lose the first leg of the last - 16 tie 1 - 0, after Domenico Criscito's late red card.
But we would give the likes of Szczesny how many chances
as ours FIRST TEAM keeper and even now we
are debating between selling him (4/5 season
as number 1 keeper where he has made countless unforced errors leading to
goals conceded) or Ospina (who has
been with us ONE season and put in a decent shift good enough to
be Cech backup in my view)
There
is said to
be interest from other clubs, but at this stage it looks
as though Mourinho could
be moving in on a solution for his defensive troubles so far this season which have seen United
concede 16
goals in just 14 games.

Some of the
goals we have
conceded come from the left side when Monreal
was on the pitch
were a result of Iwobi leaving him exposed
as a result of his inexperience.
In fact if you take away the four
goals conceded to Liverpool on the opening day, when neither of the first choice center backs
were available, our defence looks
as strong if not stronger than Chelsea's.
As a result, it would surely require a player to head out first to make space for Werner, but having spent so heavily on their attack, it
's only logical that they address their issues at the other end of the pitch given that they possess the worst defensive record of the top seven Premier League sides this season having
conceded 36
goals in 27 games.
Despite Guardiola's worries over his side's defence, they seem to
be coping pretty well so far,
as City currently have the joint best defence in the whole of the Premier League, with the Spaniard's side only
conceding 11
goals in just 16 games so far.
Seconds later, the match would
be over and Liverpool,
as frenetic
as ever in their penalty box in the 90th minute, had
conceded yet another costly last - gasp
goal from the resultant throw - in.
One of those «same mistakes» that Barton
is likely to
be referring to
is in defence,
as Liverpool still haven't managed to establish themselves
as a consistent defensively - sound side,
conceding 18
goals in 13 league games, which
is the worst record of the top seven sides.
If all Arsenal players
were playing
as a unit we would not
be conceding stupid
goals or failing to close down teams in the mid field neither would we
be failing to score
goals.
They
are really efficient
as a team, Liverpool
are highly offensive although they
concede goals at least they score
goals and
are entertaining, infact Liverpool
is the new Arsenal,
as they
are just like the Arsenal of Fabregas era, fun to watch, terrible defence and no trophies.
Is it quite hard to believe that Arsenal failed to bring in a top class centre - back in the January transfer window as it is blindingly obvious that this is the Gunners most pressing concern at the moment after conceding 36 goals already this season after just 27 game

Our game plan would have
been not to
concede early
goals as you study and grow into the game.
Interesting to note that Arsenal have already won
as many games
as they did last year and scored more
goals... for all this talk of needing a striker if you look at the number of
goals we have
conceded that
is where it has
been lost!
Another thing that struck me today
was the way our defence
was labelled
as flimsy by The Guardian for
conceding two
goals away from home to a Championship side.
But I digress
as usual... So this match could
be a lot harder than Tottenham —
as Leicester
are the only unbeaten team left in the Premiership after Man City got beat last week, but they
are also
conceding goals in every game.
Let
's go with van Dijk,
as he
's going to
be the most notable difference between the Liverpool that will play in the quarter - finals, and the Liverpool teams that
conceded eight
goals in two games against this opposition.
United have
conceded just five
goals in 11 Premier League games so far this season, and Jones has
been a crucial part of that impressive record
as he has
been an ever - present for the Red Devils.
Chelsea have
conceded 17
goals in Premier League action this season, only Sunderland have let in more, with Jose Mourinho opting more recently to use Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma
as his central defensive partnership, with captain John Terry having
been dropped on a number of occasions.
That Toral
goal is a big boost for Arsenal
as it not only ends their run of not
conceding, which includes the first leg against us at the Emirates, but because it
was the winning
goal for Birmingham it also weakens their chances of promotion and that
is a huge priority for them this season.
Will inevitably
be seen
as the safe option
as Manchester City will
be desperate not to
concede an all - important away
goal.
Chambers and Holding have
been in our Europa League side, and although I admit that the opponents
are not
as strong
as the English sides, they have still only
conceded one
goal in their last four matches.
The entire team sucked... Monaco
are 5th in the French league, IMO they
were a bit lucky if giroud had converted two of his chances it would have
been a different story.if that shot
was not deflected by per we might have never
conceded a
goal, we
were all over the place after that lucky
goal.we sucked
as a team and let's not point fingers, only one middle finger to point and that would
be to per.
All his other stats
were better
as well, like saves per
goal conceded.
He
was at fault for all the
goals we
conceded last night,
as well
as most this season.
Arsenal
are now tied with Man City, Spurs, Crystal Palace and Watford for least
goals conceded and when you consider how we started and also had two players sent off against Chelsea, that suggests to me that
as well
as being a great keeper, Cech's influence
is starting to spread through the team, especially the defence.
«On top of that, we
were a bit unlucky
as well — to
concede a penalty and after the third
goal, for us, with 70 minutes played we
were 3 - 0 down.
The first 15 minutes of the second half it looked like Arsenal
were seriously scared of
conceding a second
goal and they
were on the defensive, but
as time went on they started to attack a bit more but with little success.
they do nt
concede lots of
goals because they have 70 per cent posession most games...
as quality teams worked this out and focused on defending deep and counterattacking, their weak points
were quickly recognised and that
was pique....
Our defence isn't
as good
as Chelsea
's, but it
's still very good if you look at
goals conceded, especially considering Coquelin and Kosc weren't there for a lot of the season.
