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
While armchair managing is all fun and good... Why
on earth would you want us to play a new system for a game this big!?!? I get fans fondness for the 4 -4-2 while seeing the very entertaining
football teams like Leicester and Atletico play with scything
counter attacks... But this is Arsenal playing Chelsea at home after they've had a couple of disappointing results.
Look Per is a decent defender, but Arsenal plays
attacking football, that means we get caught
on counter attacks quite a bit, we either need two fast defenders like Kos or we need a fast and strong DM to cover for the back two.
Last season Lei started with
attacking football, but they always concede first, sometimes they had to come from 2goals down to draw like 5/6 games in a row... But later, they saw the weakness and played
on the
counter...
logic costa knows how to play jose's brand
football as deigo plays the same brand ie hit ur opponents
on counter attack... while cesc know total possession or arsene's mixed breed
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
attacking football is in Arsenal's best interest 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.
He should be
on the pitch unless we play strictly
counter attack football and that is maybe 2 % of the time if we play in the CL and have a goal differential lead.
2) Invitation to
attack us — Arsenal
football philosophy had quietly shifted and now we were inviting opponents to come and
attack us as they would see we were not operating in full
attack gears and it was easy for them to get into our defending side of the pitch much quicker as they
countered lesser bodies
on the way.
Arsene Wenger and the lads have also answered a few questions and proved wrong some doubts that were being aimed at us by the
football press, like when we changed tactics and played
on the
counter attack to win a game against a big rival way to Man City.
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.
Can someone also explain to me why we trying to play
counter attacking football with rambo
on the right wing and giroud up front??
Whether we play
counter attacking or possession based
football depends entirely
on our opponents.
Through balls from Ramsey and Carzola (if he finds his boots) and factor in big Welbeck's turn of speed with Sanchez pulling defenders all over the left side of the pitch and we could (if Wenger doesn't slow it down) have some beautiful
attacking /
counter attacking football on the horizon.
We look good
on the
counter attack yet Wenger stil makes us play this slow possession
football
case 2 jurgen klopp he was always up
on the touchline animated (he is a joy to watch just
on his own without the team) talking to his players and encouraging them to keep chasing the ball down, and
counter attack and he wasn't scared to make changes to the shape or tactics through out the game to gain advantage, where he could clued up manager (what wenger was once upon a time) he is the future of
football management, take your bow klopp you earned it last night can only hope when the time comes we can convince to take us to the future of modern
football.
why do we never look at the opposition and assess where the threat comes from and set up accordingly, stoke plays deep with direct balls to creative players, liverpool plays high press
counter attacking football why arent we more fluid based
on the team we face?
which is certainly not a slight
on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club and country in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar
on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as
on the pitch... accept nothing less or move
on... personally I would move
on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs
counter to the thoughts in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can
counter quickly even when they are spread out and 4 or 5 players who know how to
attack the lanes (kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring of the
football universe... think of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure of monumental proportions... only if you cared, of course
Everton at home
on the other hand will play
attacking football, Baines and Coleman constantly push forward, having a major
counter attacking threat with pace would frighten them into sitting back more, alleviating pressure from our defence and making us a lot more threatening
on the break.
Wenger needs to realise this, imo, our team should set up defensively and play
counter attacking football, direct
football as we don't have players that can really dictate play and influence a game like Sanchez but we sure have speedsters that can hurt teams
on the
counter....
We all know that Claudio Ranieri and the Foxes thrive
on playing a
counter attacking style of
football and I worry that we could well play into their hands
on Saturday.
What I don't understand is the tactics,
counter attacking football works well against sides who are comfortable
on the ball and struggle to either gain width, that aren't direct enough in their
attack or have no aerial threat.
Ramsey has the qualities needed for the modern box to box were as wilshere doesn't really he is ok over a short distance with a short burst but beyond that he is quite static in the middle, but is excellent technically and can play a quick pass when he is
on form use him as a springboard to launch
counter attacks from any new manager that comes in will either help him improve or he will be a casualty of the new regime, unfortunately that reality of life in
football i hope for one both of them stay and help us win trophies in years to come COYG
Is that why Wenger and Arsenal played more
counter attacking football against Chelsea rather than keep possesion and press higher and higher up and eventually get caught out
on a
counter break?
I expect speed stars like Walcott to be
on the pitch at one time as
counter attacking football will be our strategy.
Mourinho claimed that he watched sides go to Old Trafford in previous seasons and try to beat United by playing an open game of
football, with the hosts relying
on counter attacking to win matches.
