Not exact matches
referring decisions also go in our favour, for instance that dortmund
goal sanogo scored was clearly offside, these things are apart
of football, GREAT teams overcome these obstacles, GREAT teams do not crumble with 3 or 4
goal leads, GREAT teams do not
concede 3 +
goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut chances to score, united have academy players in defence, in fact our defensive players are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have had an injury list just as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result,
so why on earth are united in the title race and not arsenal?

of position trying to cover spots Koscielny would be covering n gets caught out, Debuchy is stronger has abit
of pace and very good in the air Merts trusts him and his experience that is the same for Monreal id start Monreal or Debuchy ahead
of Chambers although he is impressive for his age we shouldnt be putting all our trust into a 19 year old in that position look at Stokes first
goal a simple header for the first
goal conceded which he completely missed.
Although Arsenal responded well to a poor first half to get a deserved equalising

conceded another 2 in the second half with» back four» though it could have been more in both halves but for our goalkeeper's alertness.

so teams just get past our midfield the way they like... and the likes
of the wingers to support the full backs are always jogging as well instead

I realise this is a crude numerical perspective and the figures can be misconstrued but my instincts are to conclude that a decline in performance this season is down to our away performances and the most bleedin obvious explanation for this is the decline in our inability to score
goals away from home — with the exception
of the 5 away games played
so far this year — where we see it is the number
of goals conceded away from home that is the main problem.
What you have failed to understand from Henry's words is not that he was critical

And I've just listened to Wenger on sky sports talking about the change in formation, it's because we
conceded a lot
of goals to the top teams, oh
so now we can't beat the lower teams, good decision wenger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pretty please, its true stats don't lie but it could be manipulated to tell different stories, the simple fact and bottoml line is Ozil created over 190 chances and ONLY 19 was put away by our misfiring duo
of Giroud and Walcott, and the fact he had half
of the season to match and eclipse the assist record and failed says more about Giroud's and Walcott woeful woeful finishing abilities and nought whatsoever to do with Ozil, am can only do
so much, what's next, blame him for number
of goals we
conceded?
To win the PL we at least need to win 25 matches to be within a shout
of wining it that requires a minimum
of 75
goals without
conceding so we need attack minded players and defensive minded players from looking at our attaching force gerouid around 20 alexis 20 thats 40 we need another 35 and than we have the champion league and cup matches on the top
of it all we got to consider form fatigue knocks and injuries can the midfield score another 40 another 40
goals have to come from somewhere
so physics tells me
so another good striker with 25
so goals is required for the math to make any sense
The only
goal conceded by us from a set piece this season was scored by Jamie Vardy from a corner on the opening day, but that game also saw Giroud score the winning
goal with his head froma corner
so we are having the best
of it right now.
But that approach saw us go 4 - 0 behind in the opening 20 minutes

Where is the sense in making our second best
of not best keeper go on loan, ospina a backup to cech is spoil wrong, the number

so.........

The season before last 14 15 we did better with the points than last season even though we came second from last season we know we
conceded many
goals from set pieces and were very short on
goal scoring the logic
of this season was to fix the defensive department and the offensive department by introducing a defender to reduce the amount
of goals conceded unless holding is to be the man we havent us
of yet fixed the problem on the offensive department we all know the only offensive player is chuba apkom well else we have not addressed the problem
so in reality I do not except Arsenal to finish the season with more than 70 points and personally think minimum point required to win the premier league is 85 points have we got that in our squad it will remain to be seen if chuba and holding are enough for a key to unlock the season we will soon find out but I think MR wenger is gambling with the introduction
of new manageress which lives us with Liverpool and Leicester and who will take the points off united chelsea and city the next 6 games should give us the indication to what may happen to the long run for the new year
Secondly, Wenger needs to become far more flexible when it comes to his formation selections... remember this is the same individual that hadn't used a 3 - back system for 20 years and only
conceded to the experiment when the proverbial shit hit the fan... you know it killed him to adopt «Conte's» system, which is probably why he resisted
so long; in fact his stubbornness to adjust even earlier might have cost us the 4 hole... much like most sports that have tactical formations, every team should have a «base» offensive and defensive scheme, but they likewise need to have some inherent flexibility depending on the opposing teams tactics and / or when specific substitutions are made... how many times have you watched a Wenger - run team make a late substitution but not change their shape on the pitch... furthermore, how many times have you seen our team fail to make the necessary adjustments at halftime due to Wenger's tactical stubbronness, which often led to giving up
goals in the early minutes
of the second - half... the best teams in the world know how to make halftime adjustments whereas we always seem to be surprised when the opposing team throws a wrinkle into the mix following halftime... this my friend is soccer 101
Bolton sit in 17th spot after a run
of decent form, three wins in their last five Premier League fixtures, but the Trotters still find themselves in a relegation battle and have
conceded more
goals than any other side in the division, 47 in 22 matches,
so could do with all the help they can get at the back.
Wenger is becoming a parody
of himself... Anyway if we don't win today and next weekend any remaining chance
of a title will be gone... The only positive from that will be the greater likelihood
of a post wenger world... We are playing a team 6th from bottom that has
conceded 40
goals or
so... And we are not sure we have a side to beat them»!!!!..
