And Lord Carragher said unto Lord Neville at MNF, «
I look at fullbacks and think, there's only two things for a fullback - you're either a failed winger or a failed centre - back.
Not exact matches
Their
fullbacks are
looking trash
at the moment, start our strongest wide - men to run
at them and try and get in behind with the big man trying to cause problems in the box.
Look back
at our heavy defeats last season and you will see it was our
fullbacks and most defensive midfielder that were too far out of position when we were conceding goals
Our attacking philosophy
at times has made them
look suspect from time, but take nothing away from Wenger finding quality
fullbacks.
Jesus just
look at his stats since 2007 and get back... And there are lots of decent
fullbacks who are not troubled by pace alone and Walcott can't dribble with ball never could never will... Granted Sagna ain't one of them and you were probably one of those calling for us to match his daft wage demand as well and upset when he left last year though it only took a19 yr old reserve to demonstrate just how easy it was to replace him....
The tailback follows him and cuts up inside of his block between the
fullback and the offensive tackle, who is now blocking down on the left defensive tackle as we
look at it.
Bellerin you could see
looked more comfortable playing
at fullback.
Our 3 back is just so wrong.We don't have natural wingbacks even in this formation.It also seems to me that lots of people here believe if you're good
at right or left
fullback then automatically you're good
at RWB / LWB which quite frankly is untrue.That's why Oxlade Chamberlain can be considered
at RWB but not right back.
At RWB or LWB you're asking too much in terms of attack from Bellerin and Kolasinac.A proper wing back can be viewed as a more defensive winger which quite frankly none of them are and they don't possess the flexibility too to play that way.Our midfielders are also not disciplined enough because in 3 back there's a huge gap in the centre of the field that must be covered by our CM's so indiscipline only means disaster.We also have Ozil who
looks like he's playing
at RW in 3 back.In that we're limiting his impact because Ozil takes on his man because he wants to not because he likes to.You can't play such players
at the wing.He's a proper No. 10 who likes to be given freedom.That's why Ozil plays likes he's lazy on the ball and stuff.It's because he wants to be free and for that you need to put him
at No. 10.
We have to play WHU 2 days after so resting Chambers to me would be ideal as we know WHU will pump balls into the box and we'll need arial dominance against WHU in our own box, also our
fullbacks for that game will need to make sure they do nt get overloaded by their
fullbacks... Just
look at some of the crosses Jenkinson has been putting in (I know Jenkinson would be on our left, Gibbs side, WHU
fullbacks have both been doing well though) I feel Chambers would get overloaded on there left (our right) but Debuchery has the experience to deal with it.
Look at our rivals who are desperate to land a decent
fullback.
If down the road we do end up with no
fullbacks I think Mustafi could move out there with Holding coming into the side, or else Holding moving out, it's not ideal but
looking at those two willingness to get forward and make forward passes I think they'd do ok.
Then you
look at players like Rafinha, Bernat, Carvajal and the likes (basically 2nd choice
fullbacks in big clubs).
Look at Chelsea and City and compare them to our
fullbacks.
Because Walcott plays like a right sided striker of a two, Bellerin
looks a winger, so Holding
looks fullback at times.
A couple of more transfers
look necessary with not much beyond Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso
at fullback and not much cover in central midfield.
I mean
look at Manchester City who are famed for having this all singing and all dancing Academy, yet the club has to spend around # 200 million to sign four
fullbacks, two first choice and two reserves ahead of the new season.
I think he was more like Joe Haverty, my favourite memory of Arsenal in the 1950s Dr F. Just a shortie
at not much more than 5 ′ but a real tricky player who could make opposition
fullbacks look foolish.
If Berardi plays in central defence,
look for Tom Pearce to join Dallas
at fullback.
Donata
looked at us stoically, like an unheralded
fullback.
