Sentences with phrase «hold as the ox»

West Ham, even though they were pretty poor today, did have chances to get back into the game and you feel that we would have struggled if they did get their tails up but even when the doubts may have started after Carroll made it 3 - 1 they had no time to take hold as the Ox came up with his stunner.

Not exact matches

Jack and Flamini to hold the midfield and Ozil or Santi as CAM, Ox and Sanchez wingers that is the inly way to play Chelsea.

Arsenal need to keep hold of ox as well as bringing in a creative mid since when ozil underperforms we need a plan b Madrid got ceballos even though his an isco clone we need a player in that mould like thiago from Bayern as well but who I would like insigne to replace Sanchez but italian clubs are tough to deal with

That's why Walcott is asked to play as a hold up striker, Ox is supposed to play off the shoulder of defenders, Podolski had to cover for Gibbs and rarely get in the box, Arteta had to cover the counter attack and pass sideways, and Gabriel has to be a slow, awkward white guy with great positioning.

Neither is Gazidas responsible for spoiling Ox's aptitude to play for us nor does he impose on Wenger to play Bellerin as left back etc and start games with Monreal as CD whilst Mert is on the bench and Holding demoted to the reserves.

Our rotated defence will have the extra protection of tweo holding midfielders in the absence of Coquelin at least, with Wenger going for Arteta and Flamini as a double pivot and it looks like Aaron Ramsey will be our number 10, with the Ox and Joel Campbell on either side of Olivier Giroud in attack.

Ospina Holding / Mustafi / Kos Ox / Xhaka / Ramsey / Kolasinac Sanchez / Laca / Iwobi (Sanchez is better as right winger and Iwobi is more dangerous as left winger)

He should have picked either Chambers or Holding to start in the back three with the first league fixture in mind when Konscielny will be sitting out a ban.Playing the Ox as a makeshift left sided wing - back is hardly going to persuade him to sign a new contract on the basis that he's an integral part of the squad....

Nice line - up, I'd prefer that 3 back line all day, except it will be Gabriel for mustafi, that's grit, steel, aggression and intelligence at our back line, but imagine monreal as a CB when we have Gabriel, holding, I don't understand wenger Mustafi goes into tackles headlessly The front line and midfield is also super human, just dat Ozil is a pussy against aggressive and big teams, I'll prefer ox or Wilshere or mahrez....

Cech Holding, Mert, Monreal Bellerin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Gibbs Walcott or Ox, Sanchez, Welbeck 3,4,3 or the wingers and fullbacks can drop back, 5,4,1 Very defensive but nice pace on the counter and enough talent to control the tempo seeing as though Xhaka and Ramsey are finding some form and can make those long passes or push forward themselves.

i would rather go with a modified 4 -2-3-1 with ballerina at rb, chambers at a slightly withheld right dm and flamini as holding mid... ozil in the hole with alexis - welbz - ox upfront....

The Ox's lack of consistency has often been levelled at him as the reason for why he has not been able to hold down a permanent place in the team.

And yes got to try and look for a positive it's holding and ox down the flank ad far as I'm concerned.

Mustafi Holding and Kos or Monreal / Kolasknac in there or at left wing back... some good options pkus Ox and Bellerin at Right wing back with maybe also Nelson now as squad player if he kicks on

or for something a little more adventurous how about bellerin and monreal either side of holding with the ox and gibbs as wing backs!

Holding could cover for Kos, Gabriel for Bellerin, Ramsey was already on the wing for the injured Walcott, why is that can be seen as a good replacement on the wing even though Perez and Ox were around?

Conclusion: Out of 11 players for 5 positions only 5 were physically ready and the only solid option was to play Holding Monreal and Kola and Bell as RWB and Ox as LWB or vice versa, or the other option would be to play a not so fit Mustafi but then we couldnt have given them a fight for it if had been necessary..

Well wenger cant spot it even though you can is because he is being reasonable and you are just craving for new signings like a lil baby lets look at our cbs: Kos — World class — suspended Mustafi — Very good / potentially world class — not fit Mert — Very good and a leader — injured Gabriel — Good but i do nt like him that much, but better than Kos was at the beginning - injured Holding — Good and very talented — played Chambers — Good and talented — not fit at all Monreal — Very good and solid (CB or LB)-- played Kolasinac — Very good / good as CB — played Bellerin — RB or RWB — played Ox — RWB or LWB — played

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

He needs to play a 442 tonight TW and A S up top move HB up as a winger and play GP as RB but get the back 4 to hold and not push up to much think I would play OX & Rambo in the middle.

Put Holding, Mertesacker and Mustafi at Back who will add some Solidity in defense... indecisiveness of Monreal lead to Stoke Goal... Back line could have been easily Mustafi, Mertesacker and Holding with Ox at RWB and Kolasinac as LWB... Another point is here Ozil was totally underperformed... He was also ineffective against Leicester... Why Iwobi wasn't included in team instead of Ozil??

Like yesterday was as low as it gets for me as fan I didn't even care when Liverpool got 3 rd and fourth goals because we're dead our pride as fans is same as players we're just dead hurt, sad, weak and spineless then it gets better ox is going Chelsea today and now timers sanchez has put in transfer request haha when board said change they meant it change as in we're selling all players and we're going like Aston Villa laugh u mite we are rotten from top to da bottom and it will get better cause I bet by Thursday we will bring in nobody and promote young kids we mite chance van diik he's going for 60 million and by Thursday night sky sports will report arsenal came in with last min bid of 21 million for van diik it got flat out laughed at so at 1 min to 11 we came in again with bid of 27 million and add ons til 2029 its hard and it is only beginning haha ox starts at anfield and was shambles and he is sold today says a lot about wenger if that was me I'd say stay away till ur sold u little traitor thanks ox hope its worth it, loyalty me behind ahwell we still bellerin another little man and heart holding for Barca ahhhh I'm so mad we need Simeon's cum in and start bouncing heads off da canvas Jesus bring bk George graham at least we have defence??

2nd sure Walcott has become a squad player and it doesn't look like it will change anytime soon!But even thought he is less important than he used to be thanks to some youth prospect finally stepping up (Ox) and our new transfer policy ($ $ $) he still has that pace and ability to score and create havoc after 1 to 1,5 year out your rusty but obviously if he's dead on a pay raise I wouldn't go as far as to say he's holding us ransom but it is too much considering he's current impact and importance to the squad... Sure we could argue that he will rediscover his form and give us 20 + goals a season and not sustain an injury anymore but how sure are we?

Here is my thoughts of the team as it is currently Keeper - Cech, Ospina CBs - Holding, Chambers, Mustafi, Per, Nacho, Boss RWB - Bellerin, Debuchy LWB - Kolasinac, Campbell Midfield - Coq, Wilshere, Ramsey, Xhaka, ELneny, Santi Left Wing - Sanchez, Perez Right Wing - Ozil, Walcott Striker - Lacazette, Giroud, Welbeck That «s 25 senior players Have n`t included OX for obvious reasons

As we do nt want another Ox bellerin and Holdings position swap.

Take a gud look @ our defence: we av monreal, kolasinaic, mustafi, koscienly, meterasacker, holdings, bellerin, ox as a wing bak, Gibbs, jekinson..

I think lemar is a better player than mahrez anyway why pay # 50.00 fot a one season wonder I would sell Gibbs, giroud theo and Perez as Welk as ox and bring in a holding midfielder

As long as the adopted son is at the club, Ox will be held bacAs long as the adopted son is at the club, Ox will be held bacas the adopted son is at the club, Ox will be held back.

The Ox does not hold the same importance to Arsenal as Alexis does, by any stretch of the imagination, and he would not be as hard to replace either.

As for keeping our key players, nothing is certain about keeping hold of Ozil, Bellerin or The Ox yet... Sanchez is definitely gone, though.

Further more, if a team with giroud, ox, perez, Gabriel, holding, elneny / Ramsey with Gibbs and jenko can not beat a reading team whose form is currently poor in the championship, then they need to be reappraised as arsenal squad members.

Would like to keep Ox and definitely Holding and would like to keep Welbeck as a squad player as you can never question his work rate and desire.

1) IF Sanchez leaves, then get Bale and Lacazette as Replacement, it would be would class signings, Because madrid may get Mbappe, But if i were Mbappe i would watch and see what happened to James Rodriguez and one time World Most Expensive player Bale 2) Arsenal can also sell Bellerin for # 50 - 55 millon or much lees with Ardan Turan as part of the deal and get Sidibe or Any very young Versertile Right wing back 3) Sell Sanchez if he won't agree to a new Deal, Convince Bale to come to Arsenal, pay # 80 - 90 mill for Bale on 300k a week, get Lacazette too, and if Ardan Turan comes, we will have a solid Attack 3.4.2.1 Lacazette ozil, Bale Kolasoniac, Xhaka, Ramsey / Turan, Sidibe / ox Holding, Boss, Mustafi 4.2.1.3 Ardan, Lacazette, Bale Ozil, Xhaka Ramsey Koslanic,, BOss, Mustafi, Sidibe

Against stronger teams I'd go for our standard formation — Either Welbeck or Giroud as lone striker, Alexis on the left, Walcott or Ox on the right, Cazorla / Özil in the middle, Ramsey as box to box and Arteta / Flamini as holding midfielder.

or a 3 -5-2 where Ozil functions as a cross between Santi and himself Bellerin - Holding - Kos - Gibbs Ox - Coq - Ozil - Elneny - Sanchez Walcott - Welbeck (or Iwobi)

Play Giroud up top, iwobi / ox on the wings, Ramsay as AM, elneny / xhaka as holding MF and Gibbs / bostafi / Jenko at the back with ospina as the GK.

Holding / Ox / Gabriel: In here as an addendum because they all filled Bellerin's position during the season.
