Sanchez is more
of a second striker like David Silva.
Not exact matches
He may get a
second chance next season, but he hasn't looked
like fitting in and Chelsea look a far better club with a battering ram single
striker flanked by two
of the millions
of speedy wingers the club has.
This system allows Hazard to play as a
second striker close to Diego Costa, giving him a free role instead
of asking him to track back a lot,
like in the past few years.
A 4 -4-2 favours the
likes of Ramsey, Arteta and Flamini but not Ozil, unless if he'll be played as the
second of the 2
strikers.
Off course we can not just change everyone on the pitch (as Hafiz would have
liked), but the fair point is that we need a goal machine sort
of striker and we need him as soon as possible, bringing on Alexis Sanchez (who just came back from his extended leave) in the
second half after Walcott, is itself a proof that Giroud can not score in such games where if expect our
striker to score.
So before you make up your minds that Welbeck is a
second rate
striker and that his transfer to Arsenal is a disaster, maybe we should give him a chance to show us what he can do down the middle with the
likes of Ozil, Alexis and Walcott around him.
He
likes to get involved in the play and is more
of a
second striker.
Giroud,
like every sensible person knows, is not really the kind
of striker needed at Arsenal, perhaps
second choice.
Seems
like the bashers what a third rate
striker in the hopes
of him becoming a
second rate
striker, which seems odd to me.
Well im not in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be
second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the time although were terrible in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our
strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads in the first 60 minutes
like we have for the most part and in those games those games should
of been killed even if we give a goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality in front goal a player the chances have been there im looking at the failure
of the
strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many goals recently as our
strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one in th first 60 mins
of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this season not the tactics but the finishing
So much so, in fact, that we might — as Walcott swiveled and poked home his
second against Swansea, striking
like a proper
striker — have entertained the thought that this run
of form, these goals, this latest positional tweak had finally brought down the guillotine on potential, had set Walcott free from himself.
I think this approach
of benzema or nothing is not right, we have other options, we could go for a plan b and get a world class winger
like reus and use Theo as a cf. Waiting till the last
second to sign benzema may backfire and we could end up with no winger or
striker
Better still, name 24 who presently play as a centre forward alone up top
like OG — not
second strikers, wide forwards etc And a bit silly to include one
of our own in such a list.
I agree with those odds simply because i believe the some team that were stronger than Arsenal last season have done some really good business to further strengthen there squads, Bernardo Silva & Kyle Walker for Man City with what they already have plus what pep will add plus its gonna be his
second season so he will be a bit more familiar with the EPL and this may make them really tough to beat, Tiemoue Bakayoko & Antonio Rudiger Chealsea plus a top
striker and Chelsea will sill be one
of the teams to beat, Tottenham are gonna be solid, they've kept the team together and Victor Lindelof & Romelu Lukaku for Man - u and Mourinho is not done yet if the rumors are true and there also the Mourinho
second season thing, as much as i'd
like to be hopeful for next season, i really do nt think Lacazette and Kolasinac are enough to make us challenge for the league plus having Europa league will give the team less time to recover for the weekend games, the formation change is the only thing i see can make the difference.
wont be surprised if wenger goes for him.firstly all
of a sudden it seems
like arsenal have been spending good money for years.and
second, wenger will be really eager to make up for all the lost time and answer all who questioned his ability.hes assembled quite a capable team, adding a
striker of cavanis profile will not only lift the squad but will improve goal tally esp in a team
like arsenal flooded with midfield maestros and as admin said could be the difference between trophies.....
In our desperation for a new
striker we might end up signing the wrong guy for a transfer fee he's not worth, this Lacazette is not all that and there's a reason why no big teams are after him even despite his 48 goals in Ligue 1, even though I'm not a fan
of Giroud I would rather stick with him with Sanchez as
second striker like Griezmann for France than sign Lacazette
Welbeck was
like a
second striker in the first half, he was always in the middle and had to run a long distance from
striker position to RB position to help out Bellerin, and Welbeck was the worst player in possession too, in the first 26 minutes he gave the ball away 4 times, I counted, his first touch and lack
of dribbling ability was the reason.
The other three were converted into goals — just
like Andre Gray's
striker's masterclass at the Turf Moor on the
second matchday
of the season.
The
likes of Luis Suarez and Karim Benzema have been among Wenger's
striker targets in recent years, yet he has persisted with a
second rate forward line that has given Arsenal the results they deserve.
Eto'o suddenly started being put out as a
second striker by Martinez in place
of players
like Barkley or Naismith in what seemed to most fans
like a degree
of desperation by our Spanish manager — almost as if he was trying to put a team
of players out in the hope that it would come off for him.
