I think so, he played well at palace but I just feel if we give it a right go with plenty
of pace on the wings we could put 3 / 4/5 past that Liverpool defence.
Some specifically suggested a change for the Swansea game in particular because
of pace on the wings and strikers who are dangerous in the air.
Not exact matches
He will score 30 goals with the creativity
of Ozil,
pace of Walcott and Sanchez
on the
wing and also.
im with you
on that... even if we do nt wanted, wenger likes to play a cam in one
of the
wing to get more possesion... im
on th more dinamic play with to fast wingers who have goals and can get the line to take the pass to our target man (giroud or other)... because
of that also is that wenger need a player
on the cf who can play holdup playing... but, if wenger continiue to play that way and demands a player with good technique and short pass, i thing he also need to go for a player with goals and more
pace than ramsey... he play ramsey there because he shows that he knows where is the f * net and have the technique and pass... but he needs more
pace and even better dribbling skills... in that case i would go for isco or gotze
Why does Wenger insist to play Ramsey
on the
wings when he hasn't the burst
of pace required
of that position?
Plus if we added a top quality striker, Sanchez and Theo could situate comfortably
on the
wings with Mesut Ozil taking his natural cam position with the
pace of the top quality striker, sanchez and Theo an asset for his game.
Start
of last season with ramsey and occationally walcott woth ozil in tht 10 role worked great once both ramsey and walcott got injured ozil season was pretty much over, we were calling for wenger to provide ozil with
pace uptop finally this season we have so mich
pace uptop but wenger does a complete u-turn and puts ozil
on wings
You have
pace on the
wings, the trickery and dribbling
of sanchez, the vision and technical ability
of ozil, walcott who can finish, cross and assist, and giroud who provides physicality, hold up play, and can tap in crosses.
What is Wenger seeing that we don't for him to put a player that has half their
pace on the
wing ahead
of them?!?
I really did think Campbell was going to be brought
on to provide some
pace up the left
wing, and assist Giroud, both
of which were desperately needed.
I think similar might have happened with Monreal, he'll be listening to people say we need someone with more
pace and is better attacking than he, sort
of what we have
on right
wing, also his age.
But surprisingly, he has tenacity and
pace to chase down attackers
of the opposition and often these defensive skill sets will be called upon to ensure opponents fear facing him
on his
wing of the play.
The truth is Walcott is not Marc overmars
on the
wing how ever with his
pace and lack
of strength skill and power when shooting I think Walcott is best suited as a winger.
Chelsea play a large chunk
of their football
on the counter-attack, taking advantage
of the
pace in their attacking line and
wings to hurt teams, but our play is not so direct, as we prefer to build up slowly and with Ozil in our side, there is less room to play in the way the champions do.
I hope Wenger plays Ozil in his fav role today and Sanchez and Cazorla stay
on the
wing and make runs behind the defenders, the
pace we have in Welbeck with the hustle and creativity
on the flank will bring the best out
of our Ozil and his understanding with Ramsey will make us less predictable in attack!
It should've been Walcott or Welbeck instead
of Ramsey
on the
wing to provide the threat
of pace, with Giroud in the middle to offer an aerial threat.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety
of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style
of play has become a shadow
of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out
of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid
of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago...
on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender
on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out
of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive
on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen
pace from the likes
of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play
of Monreal, but none
of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio
of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach
pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side
wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities
on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part
of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role
on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part
of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature
of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third...
on the front end, we have Ozil, a player
of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out
of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front
of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily
on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are
on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that,
of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one
of those 3 players to stay
on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that
wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one
of the most committed skill players we've seen
on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already
of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs
of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack
of mobility is an albatross around the necks
of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because
of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
The formation won't work this season with Giroud out till after Xmas and with Wenger spending so much
on pace for the
wings, our style
of play will have to change or we won't be scoring any goals.
I think the major reason Wenger did not sign a strong DM is because
of Diaby, Wenger may think it s his last chance to prove what he is capable
of and he is when fit so I expect to see a breaktrough or fail from Diaby.You have to admire the loyalty
of Wenger
on those kind
of point, the team is still short
of defender but I do think that a Diaby fit can be a good DM as he is tall, strong and technical.There is 3 new striker, Campbell and Sanchez who can play the
wings and a tall, strong Wellbeck who can bully the defenders in the box, all three have
pace so it s an upgrade
on Giroud and Sanogo.
Combined in a 4 -4-2 with Sanchez with the added
pace of the Ox and Walcott
on the
wing we have a potential deadly counter formation.
Full backs come in 2 moulds the quick FBs who can play as
wing backs and get up and down the pitch with ease and the resilient ones who rely
on positional awareness due to a lack
of pace.
Having said that, with Lukaku out to silence his detractors after a poor display against Liverpool, coupled with the threat and
pace of Rashford and Anthony Martial
on the
wings on the counter, the Red Devils should have enough to return to Manchester with all three points.
Yeah Ozil scored again, but he can't control games from the
wing, his lack
of pace kills us out wide, I'm not going to pick
on Coquelin because he was probably our best midfielder, but I think it's clear his lack
of ball retention might be a factor
on whether he nails that position down full time!
Pace on the
wings with Walcott and Alexis, combined with the strength and physical presence
of Giroud.
The main problem for me is our tactics; central midfielders occupying
wing positions with wingers
on the bench, no runners ever in behind the opposition defence, passing football with no end product, nobody driving forward at
pace with the ball, instead opting for a sideways or backwards pass and an overall lack
of counter attacking, penetrating play.
I would play chambers in dm position alongside ramsey with ozil having free role behind sanchez and ox
on right that gives us plenty
of pace and will allow ozil to get
on the ball more and produce his magic passes he will be much more influential then stuck out
on the
wing espec as he is poor at tracking back so lets play to his strengths that will get the best out
of him and in turn create more chances for forwards!
The 27 - year - old Spaniard has an arsenal
of very effective
wing - play which includes great
pace on the ball, pinpoint crossing, good physical strength and lethal finishing as well.
Best used out
on the right
wing to allow him to cut in
on his left, that may not work at Anfield given the effectiveness and importance
of pace out wide for Klopp with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane impressing.
Cazorla should be playing through the middle instead
of Wilshere and Ox / Campbell should be
on the left
wing, Were lacking serious
pace!
I have no doubt Theo would have brought some much needed
pace and energy had he started in place
of Giroud, or better yet leave Ramsey out move Cazorla back to his preferred role in the center further back next to Coq (which would reduce the need for Coq to attempt long range passes) and play Theo
on his right
wing spot and Ox
on the left
wing.
well ppl were saying arsenal badly needed a striker with
pace and better finishing, now those fans have been proved right which cud have been the difference last season.unfortunately wenger thought otherwise.dont understand why is ozil played
on the
wing when hes PROVEN to be efficient in middle (and wenger cites example
of brazilian team winning world cup with no10's, oh dear!.
ridiculous... whatever he is in midfield he was a complete waste
of a player
on the
wing... lacked
pace and touch and did nt go past players... if wenger does nt invest in another world class attacker this summer we will always be nearly theres... giroud has improved undoubtedly but against top class defenders he is just another journeyman from ligue un... bellerin certainly our top choice fullback now hazard did nt get a look in... coquelin carzola ozil sanchez working together... so if we invest properly in summer we can overhaul this lot who are no great team for sure..
Since there's now
pace on the
wings either side
of him, Giroud's ability to hold the ball up is very useful as it gives our wingers a chance to catch up to the play and make runs.
Got up and down the right flank well, despite the searing
pace on the left
wing of the Scottish attack.
While clearly one
of the issues with Liverpool is confidence, the fact that there is so little
pace on the flanks is a cause for concern, and Liverpool's top transfer targets have to be at left back and
on the
wings.
I think the main problem with AMs
on the
wing is that they are reluctant to get in the penalty box, that's what makes Ramsey so effective, he is one
of the only ones in midfield these days who has no
pace but knows when to run in the box as support (resulting in goals, freeing up the striker, or just getting an awkward defensive position to take advantage
of.
As I in the beginning
of this season the lack
of pace up front, will not be work in favour Ozil and playing
on the
wing does not help.
With useful
pace and a reputable level
of stamina for one so young, depending
on your training regime, Bunuel can develop into either an astute defender or a dazzling, attacking
wing back.
His
pace makes him a perfect
wing - back type
of player, and he'll love to get in behind Chelsea
on the break.
N'jie has bundles
of pace and is very similar to someone like Jay Rodriguez, and N'jie will most likely play
on the
wing once his work permit is completed.
With Chadli and Townsend likely
on the
wings providing strength,
pace and goals, the control
of the middle two, likely Dembele & Stambouli, will be important.
The arrival
of Kwadwo Asamoah and Sebastien Lichtsteiner (replacing Blaise Matuidi and Medhi Benatia)
on the hour mark saw Juve instantly benefit from a fresh injection
of pace out
on the
wings as the Old Lady pounced twice in quick succession to snatch back control.
The fact that theres
wing backs going up and down in this formation means that in order to maximize the formation,
pace is key so instead
of Rafinha Karamoh should have started with strong supporting overlaps from Cancelo and
on the other side it should have been Dalbert and Perisic especially because
on each side you have such high working rate players.
Once Auro entered the game, the
pace on the left side improved with more connecting runs, and even some semblance
of service to Sebastian Giovinco
on the wide
wing.
His performance vs Newcastle
on Wednesday saw him play in the number ten position and he ran the show, dominated the tempo and
pace of how we played whereas he's often been left isolated
on the left
wing where he can't influence games in the same way.
On top
of that, Theo Walcott's
pace down the right
wing will be a menace to the Wolves defence.
In what was closer to something expected
of one
of Allardyce's teams, the rejuvenated Townsend's
pace and footwork created space
on the left
wing to cross to Benteke and the striker leapt highest, over Yohan Benalouane, to head in towards the back post.
Gibbs has also recovered from a thigh strain and will inject some
pace on the
wing to keep up with the likes
of Pedro and Victor Moses.
With 755 horsepower the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette zr1 is the most powerful Corvette ever it's also the most technologically advanced behind me are the rolling s's at Road Atlanta and we're here to see if we can reach to the supercar levels
of performance afforded by this thing's massive power big tires and the tall
wing on the back after that we'll take to the streets to see if a car this powerful can behave itself in public this is a monster
of a car I've had some brief track opportunities moving this morning to get used to the
pace of this machine which is phenomenal we're gonna warm up as we get out to the road Atlanta and sort
of build up to the
pace that this car can operate at now initially when you hop in this car you have this shrine to the engine right above you you see the line
of the hood it kind
of dominates the center
of the view you can see over it it doesn't affect visibility but it's immediately obvious and that kind
of speaks to what makes this car special it's a monster
of an engine listen to that [Music] that is tremendous tremendous acceleration and incredible power but what I finding so far my brief time here at the Atlanta is that everything else in the car is rut has risen to match hurt me while I lay into it
on the back straight look you know 150 mile - an - hour indicated we're going to ease up a little bit
on it because I need to focus
on talking rather than driving but like I was saying the attributes
of the rest
of the car the steering the braking capability the grip every system
of this car is riding to the same level
of the power and I think that's what makes it really impressive initially this is undoubtedly a mega mega fast car but it's one that doesn't terrify you with its performance potential there's a level
of electronic sophistication that is unparalleled at this price point but it's hard not to get you know totally slipped away by the power
of this engine so that's why I keep coming back to it this car has an electronically controlled limited slip differential it has shocks filled with magnetically responsive fluid that can react faster to inputs and everything this car has a super sophisticated stability control system that teaches you how to drive it quick but also makes you go faster we haven't even gotten into exploring it yet because the limits
of this car are so high that frankly it takes a while to grow into it but [Music] I think what's impressive about this car is despite how fast it is it is approachable you can buy this car to track dates with it and grow with it as a driver and as an owner I think that's a really special [Music] because you will never be more talented than this car is fast ever unless you are a racing driver casually grazing under 50 miles an hour
on this straight okay I'm just going to enjoy driving this now [Music][Applause][Music] this particular Corvette zr1 comes with the cars track performance package a lot
of those changes happen underneath the sheet metal but one
of the big differences that is immediately obvious is this giant carbon fiber
wing now the way this thing is mounted is actually into the structure
of the vehicle and it makes you know loading the rear hatch a bit more difficult but we're assuming that's okay if you're looking for the track performance this thing delivers also giving you that performance are these Michelin Pilot Sport cup tires which are basically track oriented tires that you can drive
on the street but as we wake our way to the front
of the thing what really matters is what's under the hood that's right there's actually a hole in the hood
of this thing and that's because this engine is so tall it's tall because it has a larger supercharger and a bunch
of added cooling
on it to help it you know keep at the right temperature the supercharger is way larger than the one
on the zo six and it has a more cooling capacity and the downside is it's taller so it pops literally through the hood the cool thing is from the top you can actually see this shake when you're looking at it from you know a camera from the top
of the vehicle this all makes for 755 horsepower making this the most powerful Corvette ever now what's important about that is this not just the power but likewise everything in the car has to be built to accommodate and be able to drive to the level
of speed this thing can develop that's why you had the massive cooling so I had the aerodynamics and that's why I had the electronic sophistication inside [Applause] we had a lot
of time to take this car
on the track yesterday and I've had the night to think about things Matt today two crews
on the road and see how this extreme performance machine deals with the sort
of more civil minded stuff
of street driving the track impressions remain this thing is unquestionably one
of the most capable cars you can get from a dealer these days a lot
of that's besides the point now because we're
on the street we have speed limits they have the ever - present threat
of law enforcement around every corner so the question is what does this car feel like in public when you slow this car down it feels like a more powerful Corvette you don't get much tram lining from these big wheels though we as the front end doesn't want to follow grooves in the pavement it is louder it is a little firmer but it's certainly livable
on a day to day basis that's surprising for a vehicle
of this capability normally these track oriented cars are so hardcore that you wouldn't want to drive them to the racetrack but let's face it you spend more time driving to the track than you do
on the track and the fact that this thing works well in both disciplines is really impressive I can also dial everything back and cruise and not feel like I'm getting punished for driving a hardcore track machine that's a that's a really nice accomplishment that's something that you won't find in cars that are this fast and costs maybe double this much the engine in this car dominates the entire experience you can't miss the engine and the whole friend this car is sort
of a shrine to it the way it pops out
of the hood the way it's covered with coolers around the sides it is the experience
of this car and that does make driving this thing special and also the fact that it doesn't look half bad either in fact I think it has some
of the coolest looking wheels currently available
on a new car this car as we mentioned this car has the track package the track package
on this car gives you what they call competition bucket seats which are a little wide for my tastes but I'm you know not the widest person in the world this automatic transmission works well I mean there's so much torque again out
of this engine that it can be very smooth and almost imperceptible its clunky
on occasion I think I'd might opt for the manual although Chevy tells me about 80 %
of its customers will go for the automatic I don't think they're gonna be disappointed and that's gonna be the faster transmission drag strip
on the street - and
on the racetrack man it was a little bit more satisfying to my taste though we've talked about the exhaust I have it set in the track setting let's quiet it down a little bit so you can hear the difference now I've set that separately from everything else so let's put it stealth what happened to the engine sound that's pretty that's pretty amazing man stealth is really stealth and then go back to track Wow actually a really big difference that's that's pretty great the Corvette has always been a strong value proposition and nowhere is that more evident than this zr1 giving you a nearly unbeatable track performance per dollar now the nice thing is
on the road this doesn't feel like a ragged edge track machine either you could genuinely drive it every day the compromises are few and that's what makes this car so special if you like what you see keep it tuned right here and be sure to visit Edmunds.com [Music]
A bigger worry is New York's
Pace Gallery, which has taken a 15 - year lease
on the west
