I know we have
Holding Midfield problems but they can not be addressed now.
Not exact matches
the truth is that arsenal are not a coherent team anymore... not clear what their footballing strategy is... seem to have given up on passing game for counterattack which might work in odd games but wont win us anything unless we have a
midfield that can
hold on to ball because we will be under the kosh most of game and will eventually buckle... but the
problem was clear at half time in this gane and wenger did nt do anything about it... and if he is paid for anything it is to make those kind of critical decisions....
A long - term target for the Gunners this defensive
midfielder could be the answer to their
problems, but only when manager Arsene Wenger admits there is a
problem in
holding midfield.
Our
proBlem is just in central
midfield, one only thinks about scoring goals, one likes
holding on to the ball for long, cant pass before he runs and bumps into other players, the others just weak and slow.
A
midfield that suits Theo will / may not suit Giroud and that's where the
problem lies... I'm sure Wenger has something up his sleeves to have offered Theo and Giroud high wage contracts... For tough away games, e.g chelsea, play a double DM and hit on counter, that makes Theo ideal... And at lower team that likes to depend deep in their half, he can play Giroud because of his physical presence and great
hold up play, or even play both depending... All in all another DM is HIGHLY needed.
If khedira has any sense he will run in the opposite direction why would he want to sign for a bunch of losers him alone would not solve our
problems he is not a
holding midfielder which we are crying out for and we need at least 2 more defenders to even get anywhere near having enough quality to challenge for anything!
Danilo Pereira is more of a
holding midfielder and a destroyer, Porto have financial
problems so could let him go at a reduced price e.g. # 25 / 30m
Whether draxler or not arsenal is still a weaker team, is it something bad if we have both draxler and Sanchez in the same team fighting for places, just imagine van persie, Sanchez, ozil, carzola are in the same team, with likes of inform konsieny, mustafi, and konlansinic, and good
holding midfider,... our
problem with this 343 information or 3421 information apart from Wenger playing players out of position we don't have a strong holdmidfider that retrieve the ball back when we lost possession... Kant's is perfect example of that, look at the job he does at Chelsea is amazing...... without a good
holding midfielder our defenders are vulnerable
I would say Weenger has had less luck with developing
holding midfielders and GKs, if the def has a weak belly ahead of it and a poor GK behind then of course the def will have
problems but the def was not always the issue.
I totally wouldn't mind Kondogbia, despite Monaco being very bad in the second tie it seemed like he had no
problem holding his own in that
midfield AGAIN.
We were broken against too easily, a proper
holding midfielder will sort that
problem out, not Flamini who dives into a challenge when he's the last man.
He saw a
holding player in Arteta and he was right, Arteta is extremely good as a
holding midfielder and on top of that had extensive BPL experience, his only
problem is his stature but for his price (8m) it was a good deal.
On an average, the Gunners boss Arsene Wenger signs a
midfielder almost every season, but the
problem recently has been that our current crop of players in
midfield have not quite performed up to the mark and with the next transfer window looming closer, there is always going to be speculation on possible reinforcements and the latest player to be linked with a move to the Emirates is FC Porto
holding midfielder Danilo Pereira.
Last year our biggest
problem was not being able to
hold the
midfield against the big boys and the lack of pace Per showed against fast forwards.
There are plenty of examples proving that throwing money at the
problem is not the solution, however there are clear gaps in terms of positions that need addressing... Notably a
holding midfielder and a striker operating at a higher level than that of our current crop.
Call me bonkers but I see absolutely no
problem in trying Gibbs out at
holding midfield.
Liverpool
problems is Henderson and will be Henderson 1 - not a defensive
midfielder 2 - not a creative
midfielder 3 - he can't
hold the ball and wait for the attackers 4 - not a flanker Henderson and milner one on the bench who?
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.
