Not exact matches

Although that team doesn't not have as many star players as our side, they beat us on the admittedly widely held but elusive principle that sharing the ball leads to more goals (and better defense) than impressive dribbling or individuality.

Coach Ray Mears, who favors a very deliberate style, was supposed to be worried about the new rule designed to cut down on holding the ball for more than five seconds in the area from midcourt to just above the foul circle.

Suggesting that he was worried about the fact that West Ham have been playing competitive games for some weeks now while the Gunners were facing our first, Wenger hinted that he would have been reasonably happy with a draw and perhaps that is why he played Giroud to hold up the ball and Chamberlain and Cazorla on the flanks to keep more possession.

Arsenal seemed to be trying to be more precise with their passing and hold on to the ball longer, but the first time they give it away Fer runs through to Cech's goal but his shot was a bit weak to get past our big Number One.

Your right I think, if we can get decent holding CM to help protect the back 4 then Ozil and Co will be able to focus on attacking more often, how - ever I will highlight how little effort Ozil puts in to winning the ball back For me Cazorla would be the starter because I have more confidence in him in getting back and winning the ball back with the TEAM and help us press higher up to force the opposition into making mistakes and letting in goals.

Besides several teams who have questions surrounding one or possibly two players, there is no squad that has so many issues heading into the final week of the transfer window... even Monaco, who have lost numerous players from their starting 11 have less controversy swirling in and around their club and they have champion's league play to contend with this season... just think of how ridiculous this situation is especially considering that we have had the same manager for over 20 years... no team should be better organized than ours... if nothing else, that should be the one advantage this team holds over all others, yet the exact opposite has occurred... this fact is even more disturbing considering the main argument against removing Wenger from his managerial position was that there was no suitable replacement and that people feared some sort of perceived drop - off if a new manager was brought into the mix... based on what we've witnessed since the time of his contract renewal a monkey with a magic eight ball could have done an adequate job... I hate to make jokes, in light of our current dilemma, but this team is so screwed up if I don't laugh about it, the only plausible response is to either cry or do something incredibly destructive... just look around this squad and try to see what our delusional manager sees that allow him to make such positive statements about our current team

Let's face it goalkeepers tend to march to the beat of a different drum and Szczesny certainly fell into that category, but most of his antics were relatively harmless and simply reflected a certain level of immaturity that isn't uncommon for someone thrust into the limelight at such a young age... lord knows we've seen that happen with numerous players throughout the years and very few were ever banished for such behaviour... the only on - field action that drove me crazy was his inability to take a deep breath and not try to rush the play with an ill - timed throw at certain points in the game when common sense suggested holding the ball and slowing things down... the fact that he continued to do this probably had a lot to do with the glaring lack of coaching time spent with the goalkeepers... ultimately he made the fateful decision to take his frustrations out into the public sphere and paid dearly for it... in the end, his services were wanted by several of the best Italian squads, which is significant considering the historical importance placed on the defensive side of the ball in Serie A... all I know is that if someone asked me to pick the most athletically gifted goalkeeper we have had in our squad since the arrival of Wenger, without hesitation, he would be my pick and for that reason his departure is more than a little disappointing... what else is new though

Lukaku is much more direct and can do a bit on the ball (though not in any sort of traffic) while Giroud is second to none in hold up play and involves teammates well.

There is no single answer for that and that is why we cant find a solution.But It think its more to do woth our style of play where we hold on to the ball for too long and in the EPL opposition teams will not allow that and the referees are too lenient!

U think wilshere has the brain but ramsey doesn't... ramsey plays more succesful tru pass compared to wilshere and the ability to knw wen to pass and wen to hold on to ball is abt intelligence wch ramsey does....

This should be enough reason to highlight the need for a creative CM similar to Cazorla so that either Xhaka or Coquelin can be liberated and focus more on maintaining and balancing the middle in defense; ball possession and hold up play.

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

Apart from Mhkitanya who I think is more of a central Midfielder than a winger who can hold on to the ball for long, none of Arsenal Fc players can hold the Ball at his fit for 3 - 4 secoball for long, none of Arsenal Fc players can hold the Ball at his fit for 3 - 4 secoBall at his fit for 3 - 4 seconds.

Wenger lost the plot when he brought in Giroud... what about the beautiful game involves having a lumbering striker who's main attribute is holding up play... our success with Wenger, and even before, came with pace and clinical striking up front, having a boss in the midfield and having physically imposing CBs... what about Wright, Bergkamp, Anelka, Henry or RVP remind anyone of Giroud (minus the left foot of course)... the formula was broken, which didn't have to be the end of our success, but when you adopt half - measures you can't expect things just to work themselves out on their own... at the very least Wenger should have brought in some wingers that can consistently cross the ball and then spend significantly more time addressing our lack of success with set pieces... ultimately this is why we continued to struggle with consistency and continued to constantly play people in the wrong positions

Unlike Walcot, Giroud likes to stick at the central position holding the ball, this provide no chance for Sanchez to roam about on the front three and with him Carzola looks non-mobile, he tends to pay short passes in and out while Ozil more often tend to drift to the wings looking for putting in crosses and the overall game is slow which inturn provides room to the opposing teams to attack causing our defense vulnerable and commit mistakes.

Our passing was alright first half but terrible second half, no professionalism whatsoever, you must surely realise that you can't make chances if can't hold on to the ball for more than 3 passes.

Both sides had players missing and, if I read the stats correctly, City held 52 % procession and had more strikes on goal which goes to prove it «s what you do with the ball rather than how long you hold on to it (an old arsenal trend).

Telling me players are not to blame is absolutely rubbish, they are to blame, yes Monaco mission was to relax and repell Arsenal and if possible shut them down completely, this gam was ours to take, First the pressure was on Monaco, they didn't know how to go about it, whether to defend their 3 - 1 advantage or press us, we had more than enough clear cut chances but as usual we were clueless in front of goal, we tried to open them apart which is impossible, Carzolla and Alexis played as if we lead 15 - 0, holding balls, try to dribble every time they have the ball and and reduce the pace and any chance of other to get through, losing balls carelessly, poor crosses is now our style, it doesn't threatened even Charlton athletic coz everyone now knows our crosses is poorly delivered and our attackers also don't have a clue how to do it even if one get through it will be wasted, this game should have been won by range attempts which was only tried once by ÖZIL and was blocked.

Well said.Am I right in saying that our passing has been more shocking and woeful than our defending or finishing?If only we passed and held on the ball better numerous goals this season wouldn't have been conceded due to not aimlessly giving the ball away.How come we never focus on solving our passing problems.Our positioning when receiving passes is also poor.

A couple of neat touches, intricate ball movements in the box, but also showed his usual weakness of holding on to the ball far more than what was needed.

Of course, he's more likely to hold the ball for a moment — just enough time for a lightning quick attacker to burst past the fullback — and lay off a ball to send his teammate one on one with the keeper.

Seems to concentrate more on holding players at set pieces rather than watching the ball, and still managed to allow Kompany to score from a corner despite man - handling him.

For the third, he was first to the ball out wide on the left and had the strength to hold off Ferdinand once more.

Pretty good holding cm we got there but not ready to trust implicitly yet needs a little more experience.yaya would however could be wicked good he gots supremo engino, speedy, good vision, far better ball control and dribbling than flams and built like kolo but with saying that success depends on his ability to adapt to arsenals pacey (not a real word but i like it anyway) passing and movement and plus with all i had mentioned barca would be fools to let him go can not see that but ya never know.

Hold up a minute, let's wake ourselves up from our dream of a perfect summer, lets remember the unpredictability of our weather from one day to the next, it's quite reasonable to expect to have to wrap ourselves in something more substantial on those days Mother Nature decides to throw a curve ball at us.

Peppered with B - movie flair, the film feels like it wants to go balls - to - the - wall with its space thrills but holds back, which is a shame because I would have been more on board if this was completely bonkers; a sci - fi movie that goes off the rails would have been far more entertaining and enjoyable.

The FIFA series has been criticized in recent years for just being focused on the pace aspect of the sport but now they are taking a bit more of an interest in using a player's strength to hold the ball up, protect possession, and keep defenders and strikers at bay.
