Or are we
better when we acknowledge the end of one chapter of our lives, grieve and sing and give weight to the
passing of it, and move
forward?
Matic is not significantly
better in possession or
passing but does offer more going
forward — but it is not like he is prolific (1 goal, 2 assists).
Arteta used his skill and decent strength to keep the ball just as
well, and when he
passed forward it was more accurate as
well.
Gibbs hasn't got the confidence to
pass the ball
forward, he gets to
pass back to often and is not
good at defending Monreal is a class act so we need to add there Ramsey is not a wide player, why Wenger doesn't play his strongest first then make the 2subs in 65 min and Walcot should have started as Ramsey is
better in Midfield.
Usually Wenger always wanted more AM types
good with the
passing and
forward play.
Won the ball made
good forward passes.
Coq is a
better than Matci in every department in defending like tackles, interception, aerial dwel won etc, but he lacks
forward passing accuracy, these is where people suggesting we need to buy players.
I think Ramsey play
better coming off the bench, when ever he's in the starting eleven he rarely scores a goal, he gives the ball away far to often and sometimes in dangerous positions, he makes straight
forward passes or the simple
passes, I've never seen him make a defense splitting
pass or a through ball, the only positive about him starting a match is his engine, he will definitely cover a lot of ground but i think we need more of a creative or Attacking CM in that position because of the back three formation.
I thought in the second half, this is
better, quick
passing and looking
good then realised I had left it on fast
forward!
I can have full trust on Kos and Mertz provided they operate their
forward passes from the backline only, our attack is
good, Sanchez and Ox on wings will track back and attack, while Ozil have to be little more aggressive than his usual days to overcome the likes of Matic, Terry, and Cahill.
I have to disagree with some of you regarding Elneny and Xhaka i thought they both played
well yesterday, Elneny was working his socks of and contributed
well and for me the game changed when Xhaka come on we made more direct
forward runs instead of ruining out of ideas and keep
passing back, probably most of you know i highly rate JW but thought he had a bad game yesterday
He is
good gng
forward and making intricate
passes but he needs to learn the other trades too and it will benefit Arsenal only.
He's a
better overlapping left back than Kola, gets round the back of defenders with little one two's and makes plenty of chances for the
forwards, he's like a winger, whereas this idiot of a manager want's square
passes and waits for a hole and go through the middle.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front,
forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional
passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the
best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
-- Unlike other Barcelona players like Andre Gomes and Denis Suarez, Rafinha likes to play
forward passes more (he doesn't play safe like them), more aggressive,
better dribbler and quicker.
Elneny in his first season slightly outperformed Xhaka in his first season.To me he's far better.He has improved so much this season and I hope he won't be benched.He's a defensive midfielder but people confuse him to be a box to box player just because he's everywhere.He's really
good in 1v1's and is usually positionally excellent.His
passing is also very
good.I look
forward to seeing him build on his performances and have a break out season.
Talk about strengthening your team and have a team that goes thus Mustafi Van djyk kos Ox xhaka brozovic kolasinac Ramsey sanchez Lacazette Yes I went for Ramsey since he likes to bomb
forward and score goals has
better work rate and can tackle and of course he can
pass as
well (when not overdoing the skills) not some overated ozil who only wants to be comfortable on the ball and «
pass»
It's the most organised I've seen our team in the last ten years, but I will say that coquelin plays a
better forward pass after retrieving the ball allowing us to relieve pressure quicker, sometimes arteta's too slow when we look to counter.
Ramsay / xhaka pairing horrible, both players want to go
forward, neither has the leg speed to cover when they misplace a
pass, wenger has to find that midfield that is more defensive with
good pace.
Won all his aerial duels was calm in his
passing, went
forward and recovered
well.

forward pass and he has a
good long ball on him.

good at
passing out, and even dribbling
forward when given the chance.
ramsey is one of the main reason why protection is lacking at ther back,
good going
forward and arriving late useless in position, stopping the
passing lanes, or tracking the runner also he rarely disposesses an opposing player, used as cam he would do
well as he got stamina to track back but as cm he is a liability like wilshire.
He is
better than Flamini and Arteta in turning defence to attack as
well since he can
pass forward instead of most of the time sideways and back.

pass accuracy and a most of them
forward passes and yet been
good defensively.
He is
good in creating
passes putting our
forward players in posession where they can score, or in posessions where they need to take out a defender or two, then score.
More focused on just possesion these days; — Not great
forward passing, always sideways — Not a proper winger in the squad to open game — CBs all prone to 3/4 errors per game, GK too — No CDM in the WHOLE squad — CMs who cant defend in Xhaka, Elneny, Jack — Do nt even play
well or attractive football — Fullbacks too soft & no cover / competiton — BOTH GK not
good enough
I would look at Jorginho instead, a mobile deep lying playmaker with defensive qualities... Real def qualities, someone who does sit deep and defend while making himself available to
pass to and make
good forward passes.
We need intencity going
forward with fast and accurate
passing, we already have players out there that are
better than Coquelin at this.
For attacking, creative,
FORWARD,
passes then Xhaka is far
better
he has a
good pass completion rate, most of which go back or sideways, and hardly anthing for the midfield and
forwards to create chances with.
So I'd say Vidal he does all the tackling interceptions just as
well as Coquelin but he's got a fantastic range of
passing and likes to drive the team
forward a great mix of aggression and skill.
With excellent physical strength and agility to go with a great reading of the game and a
good range of
passing, I believe the Frenchman has everything needed to play there and can also be very effective making
forward runs from the middle of the park.

better in posession with more

well

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
Then we have England making sure there is room for all who want to play the game, does nt matter if you werent taught how to be technical, ambidextrous, comfortable in possession or a great passer because all that matters is that you have a British passport, also an advantage would be pace and can
pass the ball
forward asap hoping for the
best.
Carzola offers great
passing from central midfield, his two
good feet, means he can surge
forward in any direction, and also offers a genuine goal threat — as result he's hard to defend, and offers lots for the team - Additionally without the ball, he will track back, support the team, and even make the odd tackle — this is the vital difference between him and Ozil -
Good going
forward, but call me old fashioned however I like defenders who can defend and make the simple
pass to other more creative players.
Laca has tidy feet and can wriggle out of tight pos
better than he can get past a man running with the ball at his feet while not losing the potency of attack, Laca will make a
good pass instead which is what a hold up CF would be doing to bring in the wide
forwards into play.
When on the pitch, we knew he will make a difference... The defense feels secure, the attack as
well feels free, and he actuallt start those attack... Xakha doesn't he just
pass and run to get a
pass, not going
forward or making that
pass that ma kes a difference or a goal... Useless, but great stats, like our 70 % possession and losing games, he is the leader of that no sense possession,
passing, he does most of our
passes, then runs to get it back to
pass it, gets it back because he just
passes and player is stock has to get it back to him... He will be a great journalist pulling stats..
Neither
passed the ball like Santi or tackled and intercepted like Coq but the both defended
better and more physically than Santi and they both were superior going
forward to Coq.
