Even when he switched to his favored attacking
midfield position today he was ineffective.
Not exact matches
Xhaka can not tackle which is amazing considering he is supposed to be a defensive
midfielder, Ramsey lacks discipline which he has always done and regards himself as up there with Messi & Neymar which is he is nowhere near, both of them lack the athleticism which is necessary in their
positions in
today's game as could be seen from Sundays performance they were completely outplayed some fairly average players on the Liverpool side.
Can he even operate successfully in that
position of central attacking
midfielder remarkably
today if the Boss gives a chance, and breaks into the limelight?
All Arsenal
midfielders that might play
today are like Giroud, can only occupy the central
positions, not versatile and very ineffective in the wings
-- Schweni — is a better
midfielder today at 30 then anyone we have at that b2b / DM
position.
He will be faster, more penetrative, some goals in there and will shield the four back players not out of brute force but intelligence... He will not be a defensive
midfielder, but a deep
positioned play maker... A Xavi of Barcelona and the 4.1.4.1 AW attempted and found Arteta too isolated could now work with a hard working Ramsey... imagine a 25 year old Arteta converted to his present role... definately he would be more effective than what we have
today.
Today has brought bad news on the Arsenal rumour front as it has been reported that the Barcelona starlet Sergi Samper is definitely NOT on his way to the Emirates, which only goes to show that Arsene Wenger is probably not looking for any extra cover in the defensive
midfield position, so we will have to get used to the idea and deal with it.
Midfield: Ramsey, Wilshire, Cazorla, Rosicky, Arteta, Flamini with back up from Eisfeld, Frimpong, Olsson etc etc (In these days of fluid
positions it is hard to say whether Ox and Mesut are MF's, so for
today they are attackers.)
Expect Antonio to play in at least two different
positions today including the problem wide left
midfield role.
