The gameplay proper centers on capturing gyms scattered around the world, but to even try their hand at that, players have to have leveled their monsters quite a bit — most gyms I've checked out are held by monsters of over 1,000 combat power, which I haven't managed to build up over more than a month of casual but fairly consistent play.

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...

Everyone one in the entire world (except Wenger clearly due to today) knows we needed a striker that could do all the hold up play and bringing others into play that Giroud actually does very well, but also the movement and pace that Walcott brings to be played in behind by our great midfielders.

i still hold the opinion the striker we use is dependent on the opposition we play, for all the brilliance of Alex he has been shut out in several games by pressing arsenal and letting us having to resort to long balls which he fails to get on to, if teams stops arsenal build up, they stop arsenal with sanchez as the forward, however with both Alex and Giroud on the field we have the opportunity to switch styles without making changes.

He needs to look at gerrard and see how he plays his game or even xabi alonso, they control the midfield but not by holding on the ball forever and trying to win every challenge, wilshere looked good in englands last couple of games just picking that ball up and pinging it around the pitch

Kinda feels a bit biased to praise Alexis for direct play but also moan about Xhaka for holding the play up and being predictable by passing it to Ozil...

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

i think this could officially be the start of the end for wenger his blind arrogance has cause him to buy welbeck in the sheer belief that AGAINST THE ODDS HE CAN BEAT THE REST OF THE BIG 4 WITH ONE ARM BEHIND HIS BACK we should be buying top top top european c / l standard players not sunderland spuds everton standard players thats about welbecks standard of club in all truthful reality he is an honest hard working player but wenger thinks he can coach the mediocrity out of him he is truely insane its a guaranteed source of goals we need not more fancy hold up play and «pace» and missing chance after chance so the postman is to be joined by the manchester metro tram absolute disgrace he has kidded on ozil and sanchez they must be wondering what is going on atm they are seeing the true wenger now just panicking and not panicking very well to that effect and for some reason wenger has gone all kinky for english players for some strange reason at least chambers has great potential welbeck has past that stage and is a seasoned pro now and he is no where near what we need wenger is trying to show how great he is by whiping the back out of the same players week after week in the vain hope that he can win the league without rotating ever and they will get injured and he wont have learned his lesson and we will pay for it in the end best last day transfer would have been a 4 year contract for klopp

One man who knows all about what it takes to play for Arsenal in that crucial holding role is the Brazilian Gilberto Silva and he clearly feels that the Gunners have finally found a player who can match up to the standards set by Patrick Vieira and himself.

lol... so Giroud makes up for lack of goals, dribbling, poor finishing, skills, set piece mastery, speed etc by putting his body on defenders and holding play?

Lol giroud for dm, good hold up play gets link up play from the defense it becomes hold link up play, giroud becomes the best holding (link up play) midfeilder, lol, just a thought given to me by lord ganja.

Not a big fan of Giroud but he makes it hard for CB's by using his body against them and holding up play.

The problem with walcott playing a centre forward is not hold up play, Its the lack of faith in him by other team mates.

However I do think there is space in this team for Giroud and he has a good set of traits, such as his hold up play and his consistency of heading the ball, which can be utilised by Arsenal when needed.

People complain that he doesn't score enough goals, but his hold up play is second to none, and by doing that not only he occupies the defenders, but also opens up an opportunity for a pass and a chance for someone else to score.

As a sole forward he does not offer hold up play or have the pace to out run the opposition defense, which at present is the two attacking styles of the forwards we use, his style of play is more suited to a secondary striker role, which is hardly used by arsenal at present.

Flowers held out in the recruiting process for the chance to play quarterback, and he should reward USF's faith in him by lighting up the scoreboard against a compliant Texas Tech defense in his final college game.

He rarely scores and his link up play and holding play is too easily disrupted by confident CBs marking tightly.

Indeed, he has often recounted his remembrance of his first encounter with the 21 - year - old future superstar — how he shot a second - round 66 to make it into the final pairing with Woods on Saturday, believed he held an advantage over the new kid thanks to his seven previous Masters starts, started the day 6 - under to his playing partner's 9 - under, and told the media after the round that Tiger had the green jacket sewn up and would win the tourney by more than nine shots.

Positives Our defence has a leader with wealth of experience Creativity in abundance Ramsey still has licence to make late runs to the box Xhaka and wilshere both play 6s taking turns to hold and doing the dirty work Sanchez and Ozil switching wings havoc through crossing or cutting inside Lacazette being provided for Giroud our option from the bench Negatives Ozil playing as a winger wouldn't defend (mustafi will provide cover as he wouldn't overlap as much as bellerin) No Giroud Lacazette dynamic combination (would still happen by subbing wilshere caution for injuries Ramsey moves to 8 lacazette plays behind Giroud) Slow and aging metserker (makes up for with football brain and also pacy wing backs) No outright cdm (wouldn't need one as no overlapping wing backs to cover as creativity is enough ufront would concentrate on defending

Keeping Giroud on this squad with the promise of substantial playing time... the offensive tactics of this squad is way too indirect and is much more reflective of a hold up play / cross in the box scheme that suits Giroud's skill - sets but can't continue if Wenger really wants Lacazette to be successful... without Sanchez on the pitch this offence is a little bit like a headless chicken, passing sideways, providing relatively poor service to undersized players and sub-par finishing... this isn't to suggest that Arsenal can't perform without Alexis but this offensive scheme is antiquated and ill - advised, especially considering our personnel (poor man's Barca)... if Arsenal doesn't want to pay the price to get topnotch players so we can press high and play all out attack, we would be better served by adopting a counterattack approach... unfortunately that would mean developing a far less skittish defensive group that could withstand the pressure and we all know that Wenger hasn't opted for that approach considering our defensive pickups in recent years and the lack of a «boss» in the midfield

We had it seemed worked out a fine blueprint for success: an excellent if not outstanding defensive pairing at the back augmented by two quick and capable fullbacks; a midfield that in truth may have no equal anywhere in the world let alone the domestic league; and a strike force quite capably lead by one Olivier Giroud, whose goals, hold - up play and resolute willingness to hustle and help defensively have been magnificent.

While he has been able to contribute off the ball by holding up play and laying off the ball, that is far from the ideal utilization of his still rather large skill set.

Giroud is a player that divides opinion, however, he is someone who not only scores goals but, someone who has developed to hold up play and link up with the midfield, as highlighted by his eight league assists last season.

If we get the players were in for we will all be optimistic even the window licker.a few tweaks to the squad and we will be bang up for the job.imagine that beast screech holding with jack / arron santi.the hig playing off girou, and a centre half please to play alongside kos as I'm still not convinced by the bigman.if carlsberg did transfer windows... I know red truth would be licking it

Podolski's tired, and somewhat lazy legs were replaced by Olivier Giroud, who came on and did a brilliant job of defending and holding up play.

Too much was being asked of him — either he had to take down and hold up a ball without much support, or he was being asked to create penetration by linking play between the lines, which isn't one of his clear strengths.

Giroud is not the problem — he is playing up top by himself and with his back to goal — he does not have another player charging forward from the midfield (Ramsey) to finish off the hold - up play.

As I mentionned above that ive just watched all the Arsenal game 2007 and 2008, Ive personnaly gave up with this idea of strngthenin our defence.Its obvious, we need CDM, and I strongly recommend Toure for that job, but finally, I found out our main PBM: AW is a man who beleives in: THE BEST DEFENCE IS ATTACKIN.He has built the team that way.When I watched our 2007 games, i could see that most of these teams who has defeated us this season played exactly the same style of game last season but they couldnt perform so much as our attackin side were so strong for them so that they were always held at their own defensive side.The game is completely Psycological.At the 1st 10mn of the game, they try to attack @their best, but just when we start attackin then all their mdlfldr start to pull back coz most of our attack are all dangerous.And this is what makes the diffrence between the so called BIG 4 and the rest of the league.The Pbm isnt really that our defence is so weak, It is our attack which is WEAK.Durin the first half of this season, Our guys couldnt perform any attackin strategy planned by AW, coz 1st: they were new to it, coz they have only practiced it durin trainin session.2 nd: Some of the key players are gone.3 rd: Even AW did nt know where exactly is the best position for those new players, the likes of Nasri, Vela, and some of them were all subsitute last year.Plus they are all young players who can improve and change their style game after game.
