Even if the rest of the team plays well he doesn't appear to be the type of player who can boss
a midfield against the top teams.
Not exact matches
ozil has no place in a 3421 he can perform in a 3412 where he play behind the two strikers so i will go with ozil behin both danny and lacazette sanchez and giroud can be used as a supersubs but i will tell u this, i hope we win but i am sure we will loose arsene wenger is blinded
against top teams and he will play ramsey and xhaka again in the middle and we will be dominated by chelsea
midfielders
Until we sign a
top top class physical DM who can dominate
midfield, playing Ozil there in EPL is so risky especially
against big
team.
I do t think many agreed — but I suggested playing 2 defensive
midfielders and sacrificing games
against very
top teams
Top teams won't struggle
against our
midfield because there is no meat to it, but conversely, our
midfield is not playing the expansive football to penetrate good defenses.
simple, we were
top of table more than any other
team last year, only loss in back that started was sagna, we managed last year w arteta & flamini, of course I want to strengthen there, but the glaring issue to me is at striker, we have a full complement of good to mediocre strikers, adequate but not going to compete season long
against city and chelsea, in my opinion, back line fine, DM needs upgrading, attacking
midfield strongest in EPL, central striker??? put a thierry henri on this squad in his prime, we win the league,
ridiculous... whatever he is in
midfield he was a complete waste of a player on the wing... lacked pace and touch and did nt go past players... if wenger does nt invest in another world class attacker this summer we will always be nearly theres... giroud has improved undoubtedly but
against top class defenders he is just another journeyman from ligue un... bellerin certainly our
top choice fullback now hazard did nt get a look in... coquelin carzola ozil sanchez working together... so if we invest properly in summer we can overhaul this lot who are no great
team for sure..
And the fact that he hasn't scored
against the
top 5 cause his
midfield not give him the best service
against those
teams
A 4 -3-3 system is favoured by Barca, Real Madrid and Man City and Bayern, the
top four
teams in Europe.It suits the attacking philosophy of Arsene Wenger which is to his credit.Unfortunately we do not have the
top quality defenders these
teams have nor a dominant DM.Nevertheless it is the best system for our current
team which is
top heavy in attacking
midfielders hence the need to play Ozil and Mik in wide positions.In my opinion the most balanced central
midfield would consist of Elneny, Ramsay and Wilshere.Elneny was first class
against Watford yet was left out
against an average Milan side to accommodate the ever present Xhaka who will no doubt feature
against CSK.
I would say that in the next two games (Brighton (A), Villa (H)-RRB- perhaps a Defensive
Midfielder isn't required but
against top teams away it is essential.
we do not have a
midfield that could compete with
top teams last season let alone the stronger versions we are now up
against and the defence was shaky even
against mid table
teams... that remains the case
He would slot right in and has scored
against top teams with a mediocre
midfield behind him, with our
midfield expect 30 goals.
Xhaka was much needed player for the club in that defence
midfield role and should be starting most games along side Coq especially
against the
top teams.
Our
midfield is already way too congested.No decent backup for Coquelin though.If we get Wanyama we get a player who knows the league already and is a more than capable replacement for Coquelin.Also he would not mind sitting on the bench from time to time.Plus
against top 4
teams we can use both Wanyama and Coquelin as a double pivot.Tielemans I feel needs another 2 - 3 yrs of
top level football.
CONSISTENTLY
against top class
teams as a
midfielder then i will accept it.
Two games
against below mid-table
teams and we are really struggling.Is Fabs the answer?I don't think so.The first game
against WBA would easily have been a draw but we were lucky though not this time round on Saturday.It was difficult and frustrating watching my
team fail to create any clear cut chances in 94 minutes of football.There was such a corridor in our
midfield that fulham utilized to the maximum.If we start dropping points
against the likes of fulham at this stage in the competition then what will become of us in the 6 matches
against the
top three
teams?I can see why I need to lower my expectations early enough to avoid disappointment later on.Very poor performance from Denilson.But why was Theo sub'd instead of bringing in Song for Denilson early enough?!
Teams who start with four in
midfield against Kante and co rarely come out on
top.
They've formed a Calcio dynasty, yes in a weak era, but they've won three straight and kept all their pieces together, in fact, they've gotten better, Paul Pogba is proving himself to be a
top midfielder in all of Europe, Carlos Tevez ended his European drought this week and will be full of confidence, in fact, the whole
team will be brimming with confidence after a superb second half display
against Malmo in the Champions League.
