Honestly i do nt see other Central
midfielders play like this.
Without him firing, we don't have enough to win games, let alone the title, especially when
our midfield plays like yesterday.
Not exact matches
With the emergence of Francis Coquelin as Arsenal's first - choice defensive
midfielder and with the
likes of Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere and even Santi Cazorla, who has grown accustomed to
playing a deeper role, fighting for a place alongside the young Frenchman, the Gunners captain will certainly find it difficult to get into the first - team.
i don't get it, he claims it's about money but game time and wanting to
play in
midfield, but he won't get more game time at chelsea and conte will use him as a WB just
like wenger.
Considering Arsenal's tight schedule, the duo are not going to
play every game and with a few more performances
like the one against Hull, Mohammed Elneny may well rise above the pecking order in central
midfield before the start of next season.
Hence our
midfield overload of
like minded ayers
playing out of position.
One of the brightest prospects coming out of Brazilian football at the moment, Arthur looks
like he could be ideally suited to the Catalan giants»
playing style after some impressive
midfield displays with Gremio.
And due to wenger insistence of
playing and stating them ahead of other better player (
like cazarola, roisky, in
midfield and campbell, podolski on wings), and maaking other players
play out of position (Ozil on wings) to accommodate «British core», the result is everyone to see.....
for one cavani is no where as good as benzema if u
like giroud for his support
play for his
midfield.
We need more goals from our
midfielders too we cant just depend on our strikers, Carzola, Rambo, Ox if
playing, hell even Flamini / Arteta should also chip in
like last season.
But knowing AW, he would probably target a «ball -
playing» attacking
midfielder like Seri to
play the role.
I so wish we had some ball
playing midfielders like de bruyne and silva.
The 21 - year - old looks a top talent after seeing increased
playing time in United's
midfield this season, despite plenty of big - name competition from the
likes of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera.
«I'd
like to see Wayne develop into a
midfield player because he can
play a little bit
like Paul Scholes did.
pls... I have this question... y does ramsey leave our midfiled exposed, when he
plays theres always
like one
midfielder on the pitch instead of two 2ndly... ramsey never gives forward passes..
We have the best
midfielders EPL and I would go and say outfield players too but we are not using them properly MR Wenger do sent change tactics to suit opponents and never seems to want to change tactics during a match he
likes to
play safe and sates comfortably converting with his assistance with nothing much than calm sometimes it back fires with losing by 8 goals and that is what drives me crazy with MR Wenger
Of course we had the priceless advantage of having real men
play for us instead of little timid and afraid children in defence and especially in
midfield or attack
like Ozil, Walcott and all the other serail coasters who have made a rich living under their benevolent Uncle Arsene, who indulges their timidity and blames the refs, rather than coward players.
I would
like to switch back to a 4 -3-2-1 from our 3 -4-2-1, then we could
play 3 CM's and dominate the
midfield, a 2 CM - axis cant dominate the MF imo and i just love formations which have 3 CM's Cech Bell Mus Kos Kol Xhaka Rambo Elneny Özil Sanchez Lacazette
Our
midfield that memorable day against Chelsea was Xhaka and Ramsey, the same duo who are suddenly too light and not tough enough to
play in the middle, with Ramsey in particular mocked for how often he
likes to make runs forward.
Aw has lost the plot with his tactics as well.Teams read him and
play us out of games.We only tend to
play well when opponents give us room to
play in the
midfield —
like Everton did.When opponents park the bus and cramp out Ozil and Sanchez, Wenger doesn't have a plan.All the possession and no goals wont win you games.
(he was monaco's stand out player for me in both legs the way he just single handedly had a grip on our
midfield he is a man mountain
like toure / veiera he has really impressed me every time we have
played monaco in last few years should be diaby replacement.
I'd rather sign a player who
played like Henry or Ian Wright and have a player
like Kante in our
midfield.
But then when he is
played at CB in meaningless preseason games to help improve key aspects of his game
like positional awareness, reading the game and tackling among other things, we all are up in arms...
Playing cb did wonders for Alex Song when he was eventually pushed up to
midfield.
I actualy
liked the way Juventus have been
playing 4 -4-2 with diamond, the front three in
midfield covering Pirlo so he can send balls over the top to the two strikers.
He can
play everywhere in
midfield like Eriksen offering similar qualities.
I'd seriously experiment and
play Kolasinac as a Defensive
Midfielder — He is built
like a friggin tank,
play alongside Xaka (I'm assuming Coq is injured) for a very defensively secure team shape.
Bottom line, if he is angered bench the players who were not good enough and
play those who deserve some game time based on the Southampton game or on games where they had a positive impact: - Take Özil out and
play Ox in the hole (he has to understand your the highest paid player of the club, your given freedom
like nobody else and your even seeking even more money with a new contract you can't
play like that ever and go AWOL)- Put Sanchez on the wing or up top but put Welbeck in (Walcott didn't track back near enough for the Alsonso goal)- Iwobi has been bright from the wing let him
play there - Xhaka has to go back in the holding
midfield role and I would take out Coquelin because he could've taken a foul on the hazard's goal.
Natural
midfield players who
like to
play in the middle but have been moved around by Wenger in strange experiments:
Most misplaced passes in the Premier League this term: Y.Kaboul (35) A.Ramsey (26) D.Janmaat (25) G.Barry (24) C.Benteke (24) R.Brady (24)-- Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 19, 2015 Unless, as the former Cardiff man was during the 13/14 campaign, he's positioned alongside a holding
midfielder who can also carry the burden as our deeper playmaker similar to what Arteta did,
playing Ramsey alongside a destructive
midfielder like Coquelin just doesn't work.
I only wish to focus on those who can
play in the CF position (as that's what everyone's getting bent out of shape about) but it is clear we have wide players who can score and we have players who can do so from
midfield, some of whom are still developing —
like Wilshere, Ramsay, the Ox — and from whom most of expect to see more and more this season.
That Barca side is a special one, it's the perfect team with the perfect personnel to
play his style, and I don't see any side ever having that kind of
midfield with someone
like Messi again.
we don't need any more
midfielders we have enough what with Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere coming back and what with Alex Iwobi
playing the way he is and its time Theo Walcott started
playing on the right wing
like he use to, so it remains us to concentrate on a WC striker and may be an understudy to Laurent Koscielny / Per Mertesacker
Kante would be amazing.Imagine how the
midfield would look
like when Xhaka, Kante, Ozil and Cazorla
play in same team.They would gangbang and destroy opponent's Pu ** y.
I get your point mate.But in truth Ramsey is the CM and Xhaka is the DM according to our formation anf tactic.It's even debatable if Xhaka is capable of
playing DM.I think Ramsey's tactical awareness is poor but he has every right to take risks and move into the opposition box.He's a box to box player.The only problem is Ramsey overdoes it.If we had a proper CDM the team would be more balanced.Now it's
like we have two CM's
playing in
midfield and due to their poor tactical awareness we're always left exposed.I conclude by reminding people that Wilshere is better footballer and is more intelligent than Xhaka.It'll be better
playing Wilshere and pairing him with a CDM than having Xhaka
play there.He just gets to
play over him becausr we signed him for # 35.
And on top of it he has great technical skill to fit in the mould & not be a simple destroyer just
like Kante & maybe more... 5) Now getting both would be too much to ask... specially with our already stacked
midfield & with Elneny bright outings since trusted into a bigger role spell good things ahead of next season & with full preseason... even Coquelin is
playing less!
A footballer
like Reus — who
play as a winger, in
midfield or up front — does not come cheap and The Express claim that Chelsea have been told they must pay # 70m to buy him out of his contract, which is due to expire in June 2019.
In Barcelona, they have Andre Gomes that
plays like this and he is a typical Arsenal's
midfielder.
Ramsey — 4
Played like a 16 year old on his PL debut for the majority of the time until we conceded and then he started to
play like a
midfielder.
U rite sha... but I can remember a game they were paired, le coq stayed back and frimpong
played as the box to box
midfielder then... just
like arteta and flamini
Youre clueless on Seri, Seri is a box2box
midfielder, very similar to the role Ramsey
plays right now, he does nt defend
like Coq or Xhaka.
But buddy, wen get picks the players, weber buts the players (or not as has been seen recently) weber sticks with those players when
like Ozil last night, they don't perform, so yea the players didn't do what they should have BUT it's wen gers fault that we didn't have a mire clinical finisher up front who would have put away the chances that group missed, it's wengers fault that Arteta and canola were Un able to
play the defensive
midfield role; it's wengers fault that he didn't buy backup for coquellin.
Like not buying a
midfielder of the Goretzka or Cavhalo Mould (Since we did nt, its high time we revert to 4 -3-3 and
play Calum Chambers in
midfield alongside Xhaka, let Ramsey, Ozil and Wishere struggle for the # 10 position because no matter what you tell Ramsey to do, he will go into the pitch and
play as a 10.
Watching Elneny
play in
midfield was a real treat; forgot what discipline, balance, and putting team before self looked
like since Santi has been out.
Mohamed Elneny can
play a variety of roles in
midfield, and can be fielded in a more advanced position also, but I
like to think of him as our box - to - box
midfielder.
I see him ending up
like Lacazette, frozen up front till he decides to start
playing from the
midfield.
Arsenal's
midfielders usually
play well if there is no heavy pressure from the opponents (
like Ludogorets, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, BATE, Everton, Ostersunds, etc):
He is a true Gooner, came through the ranks
like Wilshere (youth cup winning
midfield pairing) has completely changed the way we
play as his protection is vital.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture...
like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the
midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much
like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who
plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the
midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive
midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil
playing with the
likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
-- Wilshere:
Plays better in a deeper central
midfield position, than
playing behind a striker,
like Cazorla.
The 24 year - old has netted 16 in just 22 League games and he is probably much more likely to be a success in England as he can
play as an attacking
midfielder or winger as well, rather than being an out - and - out front man
like Lacazette.
