Walcott scores
good counter attacking goals, we should definitely try him up - front this season.
Swansea are a solid unit and a very
good counter attacking team, that's there not so secret formula.
Football is a team sport, if we defend very well away from home, we are
a good counter attacking team, we will always scoren enough with all these striker talk pls..
Mkhit Ozil Auba Ramsey Bellerin Monreal Wilshere Lacazette, we should be a very
good counter attacking side.
I have already said that
any good counter attacking team can easily score goals against us.
I hate to agree with you but LCFC could very well be an ideal team for Theo,
good counter attacking football and if Theo finds his form in a system like that...
We look
a better counter attacking team yet Wenger stil makes us play this slow lethargic side to side passing football
He did not defend and gave away the ball cheaply and ended some of
our best counter attacks because of bad decisions.
He is
a good counter attack weapon, but nothing more.
We are not good at breaking down teams who play very defensive but much
better counter attacking.
When you start a 19 yr old kid who has never played for the 1st team before at the most intimidating atmosphere in all of Europe against
the best counter attacking team in Europe, when our whole team is embarrassingly out of form, what do you expect to happen?
Not exact matches
and the ad hominem
attacks continue... boo hoo... I don't have a valid argument to
counter his claims... I'll just call him names to make myself feel
better...
the point im trying to make is that if we have a DM it will slow the
counter attacks down, giving BFG a few extra seconds to read the play, therefore getting the
best out of him...... im not a football manager or a coach, but its not only me who can see this flaw in our game, its the whole world.....
@ Robin VanPayslip what if we try it and it works wonders... Our squad would certainly be
well utilized with it, we will get more
counter attack goals coming in — Right now our
counters fall in the way side and we would have 3 guys — not two to meet the opponents
counters... and at least two or three players in every spot in the field...
With Crystal Palace in
good confidence and playing at home, they are likely to be more adventurous than West Ham were and that should bring our
counter attacking more into play.
The Dortmund
attack is already inside our defence even before the
counter attack... Arteta is no where near the action... We might as
well play with 10 players.
We will never know, of course, but there is a
good argument that with one of those first choice players available, Arsenal would have played
better throughout and would certainly have enjoyed more possession and control and would probably have held on for the win or even increased our lead on the
counter attack.
after our loss to everton i'm more confident now that we're going to win against man city we are going to want to bounce back and city missing key players like aguero, fernandinho, gundogan is a
good time to play them and i want yaya toure to play we know that defensively he is useless so we can hit them on the
counter attack!!
It was so harsh on the Gunners though, as we had started the game really
well and created
good chances, while defending their
counter attacks pretty
well.
The Englishman can make runs down the flanks, catch on to quick through balls and would be
better suited to play on the
counter attack, which we may have to do against a team like Manchester City.
With Giroud against
better teams we don't really have the option to play on the
counter attack which has become part of the modern game.
Different for different games of course, but our
counter attacking against Besiktas in the second leg was really
good to watch.
i bet he can do
better in a defensive style team that depends on
counter attacks....
to be honest i've been positively surprised by lucas the guy is improving with each game this must be the result of training with
better players everyday but he could improve his defensive side of the game even though his interception was the start of the
counter attack for giroud's goal against palace & his goal against the cherries was not an easy one!!
We had one
good performance against a Villa side struck by a virus that still almost opened the score if it wasn't for Szczesny — and after they went down they were sitting in their own half waiting on a
counter attack.
we used to be so
good on the
counter attacks now we want to take our time to get to the other side as if the opponents are walking behind us.
If they are going to play an
attacking football against Arsenal, that is
good and what we want it to get an open space for our
counter attacking play.
At least they are
better that Mandza, Higgy, Cuadrado trio in terms of
counter attack threat.
(Also I have noticed we are not
good in
counter attacks very much, which I guess will improve with return of Walcott and inclusion of Podolski / Campbell / Chamberlain and Sanchez has already fitted in our team because of this type of play).
The
counter attack thing, we do need a striker who's
good on the
counter.
In another Metro report the national boss Roy Hodgson explained that the Arsenal striker has a dead leg from training and that will almost certainly rule him out of England's clash with Germany today, a match where his pace on the
counter attack was probably his
best chance of an appearance.
If you think of City, they possess the ball
well and teams tend to play for the
counter attack.
The
counter attacking style of play, pouncing off their corners and free kicks paid dividends as
well as a solid possession performance and a combination of divine intricate play proving formidable.
- walcott is only
good to come on when the opposing team is about to start
attacking us (when we are a few goals up) for his pace on the
counter - having gabriel replace BFG makes arsenal compress the play and play
better close intricate passes and take opposing teams apart (he is a welcomed addition)
In the first leg, at least the tactics was
well defined: to defend and
counter attack.
We continue to try to pass through opponents playing for an idea of great Barcelona-esque football, when we don't have the players for it and our
best successes come when we play
counter attacking football.
Chambers much
better suited to a right sided 3 man defence xhaka is too slow over ground and cant stop
counter attacks — leicester love a quick break - but
best available at moment until others are fit use giroud to flick on and play with a partner like he does for france.
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
Arsenal continued to aspire to dominate possession and press aggressively, but now had a forward line
better equipped to
counter attack and a back four uncomfortable with defending with a high line.
so even though he scored a lot it did not help the team... Laca has not been used properly but with Ozil and Mkhi hopefully Auba with Laca runnjng off him will create havoc Spurs scored in 1st minute so Man Utd immediately on back foot... if new strike force can do same then our
counter attack away from home will work
well....
The team would benefit from learning how to defend properly and possibly adopt a
counter attacking style to
better utilize our quicker players.
Bellerin's pace could be a massive factor against their
counter attacking as
well, especially as he will be up against the pacy Arnautovic, and I think that he also helps to get the
best from Theo Walcott down the right flank, so fingers crossed that he can play and will that ensure that the points are ours?
Vidal is a box to box he is not a DM and a DM we need... let me put it like this Vidal will try grab glory by getting goals (much like flamini) we will not take up true glory like Coquelin who knows his job is not to
attack but to protect our back 4... not go for gaols but look hold up play when we are getting hit with a
counter until the rest of the team get back into play... Someone who will get battered and bruised but not lose his temper or cool but instead battle get in
good tackles and disturb the opponents Rhythm...
When we are playing the bigger boys, we have to be more cautious and sit back more than we usually do i think this line up is
good as we can also
attack them with pace and
counter attack and we can even hold on to the ball more if we need to.
I feel he could Center Back is
better for him, He is a traditional Right back, not that great
attacking but defensively one of the most disciplined players in maintaining shape, dealing with
counter attacks etc..
I beleive this team in form will get the
best out of barca and even beat them Barcelona plays with high line with high pressure with cazorla, ozil and sanchez ability to get the ball from tight spaces we can pass the first defence line and go
counter attacking with theo and sanchez with some magical passes from our wizard we can put the fear in there team and could get a win atleast at the emirates but since cazorla and coquelin are not sure to be playing i feel it will be very hard to get a positive result but let's give it a go we have nothing to lose
While armchair managing is all fun and
good... Why on earth would you want us to play a new system for a game this big!?!? I get fans fondness for the 4 -4-2 while seeing the very entertaining football teams like Leicester and Atletico play with scything
counter attacks... But this is Arsenal playing Chelsea at home after they've had a couple of disappointing results.
Arsenal are
better off not having too much possession in order to win more, against Man United we must let them have the ball and play on the
counter attack!
All players
well drilled and team kept their shape and topped it off with a
counter attack goal.
