Let
's just hold on to the ball» Then one of our players will turn and pass the ball back because no one makes runs bar Sanchez.
Not exact matches
Coquelin's defending is excellent.In fact i've watched many DM's Arsenal have been linked and he's better than some of them defensive wise.How many top DM's will keep the likes of Silva, Coutinho and Modric (12/13) quiet throughout a match?It takes top defending
to do that.His biggest problem is that he's not adventurous and doesn't
hold the
ball with authority.It's
just that I feel he's not given the appreciation he deserves.He's a good squad player
to have and when
on form can do well against top teams.
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.
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.
Quick notes
on arsemal team 1 - paulista is not good as i though 2 - coquelin is essential in arsenal midfield
to give stability but he can't
hold the
ball in his feet or give the right pass in the right time so we can't dominate teams anymore especially with santi absence 3 - ramsey = horrible,
just a headless chicken running everywhere 4 - ozil could have easily 30 + assists by now 5 - Olivier Giroud the handsom french guy shouldn't ever be a big team first choice striker 6 - where are the 4 world class strikers that wenger said we had i didn't se anyone of the yet
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
gibbs played well and deserves a higher rating so does
holding apart his mistake that cost us a goal also i'm delighted for perez i've noticed
on a technical level he is not what you would called a typical arsenal player his first touch & control are not the best he tends
to lose a
ball a bit too much and needs at least 2 touches i could be wrong and may be it is because he is
just back from injury or he was a bit nervous
on his return, i know people will say that it doesn't really matter as long as he scores the reason why we bought him and they could be wright anyway great win, performance and topping the group great, COYG!
we have shown times without number we don't do pressure, we lack grit and
balls, so if the title race goes
to the wire, with each match plays dxd under enormous pressure
to hold on to the top spot or chase the leaders down you cn be rest assured we will find a way
to bottle it, its what we do best...... and as soon as we are out of contention and pressure is off,
just watch us rack up wins after wins, in time
to nab the 4th spot
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
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
just needs
to improve his finishing And
hold on to the
ball a bit longer he is young and has a few years improve
He does
hold on to the
ball too long and
just about inevitably loses it.
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
And, he
just seems
to be able
to hold on to the
ball even with three or four defenders collapsing
on him.
I feel slightly bad for
Holding, he was good OFF the back in positioning ect, but
on the
ball shocking, he didn't get much help from Ozil and Bellerin who were both absent infront of him when he lost the
ball because he had no one
to pass
to, I guess it's his fault overall though, if you're in that situation and can't find anyone
just hoof it away don't lose it and give them a chance
on goal.
To me, i feel xhaka is well needed in dis new formation (d 3 -4-3) n moreso, he is a typical arsenal kind of player... can hold on to d ball n distribute it with precision... all we need to succeed with dis new formation is to get a combative football playing midfielder dat can win d ball n move with it... in d mould of naby keita, verrati n even Everton's gana can do d job or better still, take renato sanchez on loan... doubt if he is going to get enough playing time as he would want at bayern dis season again coz of their luxury of midfield player, not sure if he will be in d 1st team with vidal n thiago alcantara unbenchable n anceloti having a soft spot for kimmich (just as wenger has for Ramsey) I think if we propose a loan deal for renato sanchez dah bayern will grant

Wilshere is not a bad player at all only if he could
just stop
holding on to the
ball too much trying
to dribble past several player until he gets dangerously tackled.
He's moving his feet well, he's killing the
ball... now he
just needs
to hold on and keep from getting negative if Tipsarevic turns the tables.
Hahaha pepes here saying Benzema is not significantly better than Giroud.i do not even want
to go
to stats.Firstly lets talk about finishing, Giroud finishing is not really that good at all.He misses a lot of chances.He most at times needs many chances
to score and all also misses sitters too much.his shot accuracy too ai nt that good at all.This makes him an average finisher.Secondly, lets go
to his dribbling abilities.every player has his own limitations.Giroud has average dribbling.there are many times if he could beat a player he would have been through
on goal but since he cant he
just waits for support denying the team a chance
to score in most cases.Average dribbler.In addition,
hold up play, Giroud
holds up the
ball really well, however, this does not work in all cases against physically strong defenders and also very intelligent defenders his
hold up play suffers a lot.so for
hold up play he is ok.i could go
on and
on my word this striker is not good at all do nt you watch him or you want
to use his stats.ah!
The whole Team - even Backroom staff are
to blame (even Alexis who
held the
ball TOO MUCH
on some days / made too many wrong passes), NOT
JUST WENGER!
Those Carr teams had the benefit of defensive touchdowns, much better field position, much shorter waits
to get the
ball back
on average, and also didn't endure the pressure of feeling like they «had
to score»
on every drive
just to hold serve because the defense was so bad.
Antonio has the
ball with
just seconds left
on the clock -
just needs
to hold up play by the corner flag, but instead passes it perfectly back
to Palace so that they launch a counter, and Zaha scores as the Hammers still remain winless away from home in the league.
On the other side of the
ball, they are playing even better as they've been
holding opponents not named Stanford
to just one goal all season.
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.

if we are looking
to coount
on Eboue for the midfield role, i'd rather wenger goes
to one of the most under - rated countries as far as footbalall is concerned.kenya is booming with young talent recently with the upcoming rigorous academies.Italians have already moved in and a year later Parma is reaping big with Mariga.the huge midfielder has a record of loosing the
ball the least times at any serie a match.the only reason why he does nt play the
holding role for his country is because there are much better options for the role even in the local league with the most likely choice being Austin Makacha who recently sighned for IK sirius in sweden.i think Wenger should check him out or at least snd scouts
to the larger East africa if not
just Kenya.nice piece

Basically,
just hold you little one in your arms, sit down
on the
ball with your legs apart,
to give you better balance, and bounce gently up and down
on the
ball.
Of course with the disposable diapers, things are much easier because one
just has
to put it
on, and get rid of it by unfastening the tabs
holding the diaper together and rolling it into a
ball before it finds its way
to a bin.

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.
