Bergkamp was great at
needle eyed balls lol and i think we have the player now who can also play that game..
Not exact matches
so no one else on the team can pass the
ball through
eye of a
needle?
Wins tackles, intercepts,
ball control, passing,
needle eye passing, physically strong, technically advanced and reads game... he does it all so well.
I know were not MADRID, but still, he can thread a
ball eye through a
needle.
Gotanidea is correct when he says we need explosive wingers.We need natural width and pace before we can even think about getting the best from Lacazette and (hopefully) Auba without Wenger playing one of them out wide.We continue to allow defences to dominate us by stopping us playing wide and we are forced into the crowded area outside the box trying to thread the
ball through an
eye of a
needle.
He's so calm on the
ball, can make simple passes with his
eyes closed and can thread the
needle if need be.
When Giroud came on, Wenger should have just demanded lots of crosses, and long
balls, but instead the crosses were few and far between, and we kept trying to play the
ball through the
eye of a
needle, even though Utd had so many defending.
He is a very good reader of the game, he's slotting passes through the
eye of
needle and his long
ball distribution appears very Pirlo / Gerrard esque.
If he wasn't forcing Jordan Pickford to scramble across his goalmouth in a desperate attempt to alleviate the danger, he was threading the
ball through the
eye of a
needle for one of his team - mates to exploit.
