One is that
the pacy team will play out of control, commit lots of turnovers, miss lots of shots, and afford the opponent a bunch of extra possessions with which to build a lead.
So put out a decent
pacy team, have quality on the bench, forget sentiments and play to win with the right team and we'll get the right result.
We can go with 4 -2-3-1 (miki - Ozil — Auba and Laca up front or vice versa) or 4 -1-4-1 (Xhaka behind Ozil - Jack — Miki — Auba and Laca) or diamond 4 -3-3 but it is very risky against counter by
the pacy teams such as Pool and City.
I keep on saying it Arteta does not function against
the pacy teams.
Not exact matches
If Le Prof will agree to put out a mostly
pacy Gunners
team for this game who can play at high tempo throughout the whole time the game will last, I think Arsenal will beat Chelsea to the collection of all the 3 points at stake in the game.
Against
teams that we expect to defend deep and frustrate us I think we will use the
pacier full backs and more creativity, like this:
Coquelin keeps his place which is a good idea as our opponents have plenty of danger in their own
team, although their
pacy front man Gabriel Agbonlahor only makes the bench.
(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the
teams in the premiership and those we could face in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to have a manager who can prepare this squad for this eventuality and have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I have seen nothing in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he would replace a small,
pacy striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager in the world that plays more players out of their natural positions (square peg in a round hole)
Icardi scored 22 league goals last season in a
team which has no creativity or
pacy wide players.
Strong, athletic and
pacy but struggle against better defenders and organised
teams.
am tired of wenger.the man has got good skills, but somehow he fails to address basic issues in the
team like buying a striker and a cdm in the last summer.at one time, arsenal had good squad but had a keeper who at times committed mistakes i.e almunia.then after ozil came and arsenal were first in december, all wenger had to do was buy a
pacy striker with eye for goal.but wenger did nt so obviously and instead bought an injured kallstrom.agreed ppl fans will keep saying managers shud hav played this guy or that one and so.but in case of wenger, its abt ignoring
team issues t (to prove a point he can win without listening to critics and the fans which he never will), and then playing players out of form, out of position, and buying players that do nt fit ur style like giroud!!
Simply put, we defended too deep without
pacy players to counter attack and without putting pressure on the Spurs
team.
Fast forward now, we could have, Coq, ozil, alexis, (emergence of bellerin / nacho) and the form of giroud + ramsey for this match... this is a muucccchh stronger,
pacy and stable
team than the last time we faced barca...... yes barca have added neymar and suarez, bt I think, in all honesty, im confident about our defense, we have cech and I pray to god the pitbull (Coq) is unleashed....
«There's a lot of
pacy guys in this
team now and we're thinking that's what we might have lacked last year, especially when I got injured — there weren't as many players to get in behind [defences].
the most important position is upfront, and he has more impact as he gets more chance to score more and assist more, his skillset his best against the least
paciest players (CentreBacks) also determines the approach of the
team and Alexis upfront is like a false9 which makes Arsenal even more unpredictable.
People say his energy and pace is vital for the
team but what's the use of a
pacy player who can't score or assist?
So a fairly
pacy forward who can hold up the ball and make occasional dangerous dribbles... such players are two a penny across the top two divisions and not the basis for a
team claiming to want to conquer europe... i used to think that at 20 we should have loaned him out to brentford to gauge his qualities still a possibility but an offer from millwall would be fine too
Now, I don't watch Reading games but I believe that a player with better header play like Debuchy will get the nod against a
pacy, low height Bellerin against a
team raining balls in our box.
Once Wilshere started it was obvious that our fluid passing game we played against Galatasary would be ruined, the
team needs Ozil and Cazorla in the centre with Welbeck, Sanchez, OX forming the
pacy front 3 with Walcott also set to come back
The
pacy 25 - year - old winger will leave having scored two goals in 38 league appearances since rejoining the Mariners two seasons ago, where he played in the club's title - winning youth
team of 2011 - 12.
The Welshman's movement on the ball was almost overly simple at times, but in a
team of elaborate and
pacy tricksters Ramsey brings that calmness to keep Arsenal ticking.
The English midfielder was steady and exactly the man his
team needed against a
pacy strike force.
The
pacy right back impressed under then West Brom manager Alan Irvine but the arrival of Tony Pulis has seen him frozen out of the first
team.
Left footed and
pacy, he spent time with FC Porto as an amateur but wasn't offered a contract when he turned 18 and has twice missed out on been a part of Nigeria youth
teams to major tournaments.
Arbeloa did a decent job stopping
pacy Ribery with support of his
team mates in the quarters.
Pacy, intelligent and an eye for goal, he has drawn the eyes of a number of
teams including Liverpool.
I'm wondering to what degree people on this thread criticising the
team selection are feeling a little bit jilted at Pope and Tarky being left on the bench because an offensive,
pacy, high - energy England
team is what I've wanted to see for ages and we've now got it.
