attacking your fellow man?

counter attack like Man United did

The only team that Arsenal ever sat back against
on if

Not entirely a bad selection but I would have preferred Welbeck instead of Iwobi based
on tracking back and speed for
counter attacks.
We can also
not play
on the
counter attack and use the pace of Sanchez and Iwobi as much because Giroud is too slow to keep up.
if i am correct @ SD... your analysis shows you see the forest for the trees, most comments just give their opinion like they are playing Championship manager - as JT said coquelin has helped slightly fix the problem of the overexposure of our defence to
counter attacks and the full backs don't both bomb forward as much, the reason monreal starts ahead of Gibbs - walcott always looks lost and confused now when he makes appearances, and never wants to create or get too involved in build up play just wants to run into the middle and get
on the end of balls.
Regarding the Premier league, Chelsea aren't all that, City are always
on and off, Spurs have Wembley as their home ground, so will be exhausted by November with their fast paced

But just as vital is stopping them scoring
on the
counter attack so the news that Gabriel is
not going to be out for as long as thought and is due back in training anytime now could turn out to be crucial.
I believe tgere are 3 titke contenders this year Leicester, city and arsenal About Leicester they are doing great but there football depends
on counter attacking and few quick passes to reach the ball to mahrez or vardy i don't think they can impress anybody if they faced teams that park the bus like what the teams do with arsenal and also any injury for mahrez or vardy will ruin there season so i don't consider them a real challenge and in an open game we got the best out of them and beat them with 5 goals to 2 so calm down gooners About city they had very impressing start for the season then they were vety baf winning most games by pure luck or last minute goals and they could be beaten easily Arsenal are the best team form we controled most of the games and the losses and draws were by bad referee decisions or bad luck and the 4 points margain with city could have been easily 10 or 12
so even though he scored a lot it did
not help the team... Laca has
not been used properly but with Ozil and Mkhi hopefully Auba with Laca runnjng off him will create havoc Spurs scored in 1st minute so Man Utd immediately
on back foot... if new strike force can do same then our
counter attack away from home will work well....
gooner4life i don't think individually our defenders are all that bad its just that the whole team is strongly encouraged to play offensive game and it looks great to watch and gets us plenty of live games
on TV which means extra cash but no one is left to guard the fort
on counter attack's,
Arsenal are better off
not having too much possession in order to win more, against Man United we must let them have the ball and play
on the
counter attack!
Given Guardiola's preference to have goalkeepers and defenders being comfortable

not blaming Mertesacker, I'm blaming the manager for relying

counter attack.
His ability to lead
counter attacks with his pace and ability
on the ball could make him a nightmare at the Bernabeu, and he will have to link play between the midfield and Sergio Aguero to ensure that the Argentine forward isn't isolated.

on counter attacking mode.
The pitch was
not easy as well but we lacked the final ball
on the
counter attack but we did fight and we have to give credit to the team.»
barcelona are more geared to

Walcott is no longer needed with our new formation 3 -5-2 we are using Belerin

not much dribbling skills) will best serve teams that park the bus and
counter attack

counter.
I join you
on that almostawinner... but the same can be said of that famous english core that we extended / signed a couple of years back... Ramsey is a great player, can be world class but for that has to stop being so wasteful at times (bad / heavy first touch, killing
counter attacks with the wrong choices,
not shooting well anymore the way it looks, giving the ball away)... your
not on Gerrard level at his best Gibbs is a good player but seems happy with his bit part role, doesn't look like he's crazy about pushing & challenging Montreal for a XI spot Ox, I still believe in his talent but just no end product for an offensive player with his ability; he could be our version of PFA Hazard / Costa... is it a lack of confidence?
Look back to the beginning of Weger's reign; the saing was that a corner for the opponents was a goal scoring opportunity for Arsenal — we were so quick
on the
counter attack... Too bad Walcott didn't get enough time last season to fine tune his runs with Özil's sweet, left foot.
If we
attack we will be easily picked of
on the
counter since we all know our team defending is poor and our wide players don't rack back often and early enough to truly support the back 4.
Despite a bit of early nervousness, the Gunners did well to stay compact and deny the City players any time or space with the ball, but that also meant we were
not doing much at the other end and were largely relying

attack down the flanks or high long balls towards our box
Some may point to the fact that Chelsea only had 3 but if you assess the situation, Chelsea were never going to come out guns blazing at Arsenal, Chelsea thrive
on controlling the game and
counter attacks, having a free flowing game of

not Chelsea's and as such they would do everything to break up the play, seek for one off opportunities to get a goal and or get goals from set pieces and it worked like a charm against us.

countered lesser bodies
on the way.
I know we need to develop how we play against opponents, both against Everton and Leicester we got hit
on the
counter, and didn't have the right type of players to control an
attack at us with pace.
I can't stand welbeck for one reason he's
not better than what we have but if you played a front two of welbeck and Sanchez then Cambpell left and Walcott or chaimbo right that would give us a huge
counter attacking style with lots of skill and pace, but here is the problem to do this you need big strong DM to win the ball back when we defend and we do t have them, flaming is reckless and getting old, Arteta is good
on the Bala but
not quick or strong enough, please don't say Diaby as we all know he will be inj soon again, then also what to do with Ozil and Corzola?
With the pace of sanchez
n walcott, cazorl

Fair enough, but first of all, that biggest loss of the season was due to a penalty and a late

on earth are
counter attacks suppose to start when players can't pass out the back?
Lots of Arsenal players and the manager have heaped praise
on the youngster for character and personality as well as his ability so I don't think he will wilt under the pressure of this massive game, while his speed could help him to cope with Chelsea's
