Also Arsenal
play as a TEAM which means the right and left attacking midfielders should be chipping in with about ~ 20 a season with B2B players getting into double figures.
Not exact matches
The deal comes not long after Bell
teamed up with Rogers (
which owns Canadian Business) to buy a majority stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for $ 1.32 billion, largely
as a
play for valuable sports programming.
Great hits carry no statistical weight but reverberate through the decades like chants of «Potvin sucks,»
which are still audible whenever the New York Islanders, Denis Potvin's former club, or the Florida Panthers, the
team for
which he works
as a broadcaster,
play at Madison Square Garden.
Simeone certainly manages in the same style
as he
played and his
teams are a reflection of that character,
which is great if you want fight and desire but not so good for the fair
play and sporting side of the game.
goodness i can't believe it people will still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a
team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud
as the main cf and Welbeck
as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.
As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations
as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing
which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of
play is ok for us but a striker who can take on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the line next season but
as the saying goes if you fool me once shame on you but if you fool me twice shame on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
@well they havent been
as successful
as under pep but did win treble season before this.hope the two madrids can stop them winning for nxt few season.but in reality,
teams havent devised a formula to counter possession
play other than defensing deep
which risks
teams like barca having chance to keep attacking.so until
teams understand how to overcome posesion, they wil probably keep getting success...
I disagree.A wingback can be viewed
as a defensive winger.Whether the Ox likes it or not he's been blessed with the qualities of a winger.To me that's his best position.He's only doing well
as a wingback because of his attacking abilities.
As I said earlier a wingback can be viewed
as a sort of defensive winger.That's why CB's who are used
as RB or LB can not
play wingback.Wingback needs the player to be able to adapt himself like a winger while also being solid defensively.Ox has the attacking part but not the defensive part.With Bellerin we have the best of both worlds.He can attack, defend and also has the speed necessary to
play wingback.I fear Ox being
played at wingback will cost us when we
play teams with tricky wingers.He should rather be challenging Sanchez or Ozil for their positions and not wingback.The guy hates to always have to defend
which in truth he can't.
The highest peak of this style of
play was showcased in the 2003/2004 season,
which highlighted an outstanding feature of that dominating
team known
as «The Invincibles»
which possessed some quality players available to coach Arsene Wenger.
And should losing their lead happened in error next time, they MUST
play with general
team discipline in defending individually and
as a
team unit so
as not to concede a backbreaker goal
which almost happened yesternight if Cavani was more prolific.
Depending on the conference affiliation, a No. 1
team might not have to
play a top - ranked
team in its bowl, and the only way a No. 2
team (
which, in many years, might be just
as deserving
as No. 1) might have a shot at the title is if No. 1 loses to somebody else.
And pretending any of the mentioned guys taken after Ebron would have had the same production in Detroit
as they did on another
team is 100 % speculation
which I would think anybody who has watched the NFL long enough to see a player go from one
team to another and
play better / worse would be wary of.
Everyone goes on about Kante and yeah, he's a good industrious hard worker but he excelled at Leicester because they had a unique and regimented approach to how they
played football and how the whole
team acted
as a unit,
which made his job much easier and conversely, the other players jobs were easier too when considering his role in the set up.
that tactic worked fantastically at the star of this season where walcott performed and it worked brilliantly for the
team but after the injury of Theo, giroud had his dry patch and theo almost did nt even try... and the year before welbeck
played reaaaally bad
as a starting striker and scored 4 goals or something i think, if he had one worldclass or equally good striker
as giroud, we would have enough and wenger could rotate them according to the patch / form of giroud like what he intended to do with walcott and giroud,
which i had high hopes for but sadly only worked for half the season
The premier league is a unique place and unfortunately «
team cohesion»
as Wenger commented this week,
plays a big part in success,
which we have.
Damontae Kazee, outside of the special
teams penalty (
which would have been a mighty impressive tackle, if it was legal), was making
plays as a gunner.
If we only
play with the same mentality and intensity just
as when we
played against Monaco away after losing at home,
which is not unlike previous years at the same stage of CL, against Bayern last year and Dortmund before that, I believe this
team can start another «Invincible» streak from this month onwards till next season.
Remember if you aren't at the head of the class when it comes to the development of young talent,
which means eyes on the ground everywhere, a vast array of connections with soccer associations throughout Europe and beyond and a manager willing to properly train and
play said blue chippers, (like the 90s Arsenal or clubs like the modern day Monaco and Dortmund) you need to spend to win... anything in between is highly problematic... failure to make the necessary changes leaves you in the proverbial «no man's land» and that is currently where we reside... it's difficult to get out of this rut... just ask either of the Milan
teams... next step after that is being known
as a «seller»,
which could be us already if and when Sanchez leaves... there are only two
teams that have worn this moniker in recent times and had some decent success and that is Athletico Madrid and Dortmond,
which only occurred when they both brought in new, charismatic leaders in Simmone & Klopp... the odds that Wenger could conjure up the magic to repeat the performances of a bygone era are incredibly low, so why prolong the agony... he's not willing to create the hierarchy necessary to go the youth route and he's unwilling to put his
team's potential success ahead of his job security by laying it on the line with Moustache, so it's time to place all your chips in the middle or go gently into that good night
Spot on Mate, People» do nt realise what Mr Wenger has achieved, Look at the likes of Leeds United, Portsmouth (It was same rated
team in Fifa 09
as Arsenal and look where they are now) Tottenham and liverpool are thinking of making new stadium for years and they are not able to do it, When people ask what has the old man given us in last ten years apart from sorrow and anguish, I would like them to point towards the stadium in
which our beloved
team plays and thousands of supporters watch the match.
Actually the whole
team played so poor that we regard Sanchez
as our saviour and
which quite frankly he is.
The event languished in the late 90s
as the number of greater - skilled
teams multiplied throughout the region and
play moved naturally toward a more competitive setting «''
which lowered the level of participation in the low - key KOT.
They are in a dangerous spot currently
as 1 of the 3
Teams tied at 5 - 8 would fall into the dreaded 15th seed
which means they'd need to
play an extra Game in Round 1.
If
Team Abrahmson loses they could actually end up
as low
as 7th —
which is huge because they will need to
play in an extra Playoff Game.
Many of them will now turn their full attention to the Chicago Hoops League,
which started a couple weeks back, where they
play as «
Team Schwartz.»
The Board should in my opinion have Mr Wenger on the board with immediate effect and appoint a new Manager who will have a chance to build up a
team with present young players such
as Holden, Campbell and other young promising players from the academy
which have given a good account of themselves when
playing with the seniors.
It definitely seems to make a big difference
playing in front of our home crowd at the Emirates, but more important was the urgency
which the
team showed by trying to put the game to bed
as quickly
as possible, and
as Laurent Koscielny said, our target was just to get the three points.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime...
as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who
plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him,
which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil,
which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil
playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German
team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
They
played against a Justin Bowen led
Team Cohen,
which is a hard enough task
as it is..
Hlo
as me JOSH all those transfers being made are all for nothing because Wenger can not mange to close the right player to
play a certain
team just see from the FA Cup
which is the only league he can mange and placed the players he want the only thing is to sack him out then the club will start doing well that is my thought
as a young Arsenal fan forever thanks am from Uganda
As for
Team Kornblatt... They are an #Original12 squad
which means they are
playing in what is their 6th Summer of All Sports Series..
We will have to wait and see whether the Arsenal and England defender Kieran Gibbs is selected by his national manager Roy Hodgson for the friendly game against France at Wembley tonight,
which is bound to be an odd and emotionally charged encounter after the terrible terrorist attacks in Paris, but with England wracked by injury problems and having to
play a very young
team,
as well
as the limp performance put in by Ryan Bertrand at left back against Spain, I will be surprised if Gibbs does not start.
But, for all this, hockey players seem to see nothing artificial in the
play - offs at all and nothing unusual in a system by
which a
team finishing fourth during the season (
as did Toronto in 1948 - 49) should end up
as the Stanley Cup custodian.
i rate him highly, he is a box to box player but can
play as a cover for Ozil and can give a better balance to the
team than walcot when he
plays in the left wing
which is not either his preferred place nor his natural one.
I don't blame Giroud for not having the same movement ability
as Theo, I blame Wenger for not
playing a more agile CF against a
team which was going to dominate us in possession.
I know there's no wingers in this
team but I believe theo can do well with a partner through the middle, Ox's future is at CM / CAM so he can still be an influence off the bench in this system, Podolski is a CF so he would flourish
playing off a partner like Giroud or Sanchez
as St, Ozil also
playing as CAM
which we all want, he's got guys behind him who'll make runs into the box and also pacey strikers upfront to pick a perfect pass
which he does best
Regardless of the selection, a Hall of Famer belong to every
team for
which he
played or managed,
as well
as every fan who followed his career.»
When he is
playing horribly, like last game, he can't be
as vocal because of all the dumb things he's doing
which makes the whole
team not
as good
today for the first time he brought in a new
team which looked pretty well, TR7 is looking great, Cocq did the job, even Campbell showed that with more game time, he can be a good SUB for ARSENAL
as long
as WENGER let him build confidence on himself by letting him
play....
With the signing of Draxler it is believed that Wenger will be happy with the number of wide forwards at his disposal for next season
which will include Welbeck, who Wenger feels needs more time before
playing as the
teams main central striker.
As Washington mulls severing ties with RG3, here's a look back at where it all went wrong and
which team he could
play for next
Say for example, Ramsey had scored the volley (
which narrowly missed the bottom corner), or Fabianski had not managed to somehow save from Welbeck, or Swansea missed their inch perfect free kick, we could quite well be singing the praises of our manager and our
team,
as we did have some delicious
plays in the game.
I think how high he gets drafted is going to come down to
which team is most willing to believe that he will
play harder
as a pro.
Let those guys get going, stop dicking around with the musical chairs lineups that include the negative quantity of Tyler Wade, and leave Torres in Scranton until,
as Shah suggests, he can be brought up to join a
team on
which he's not expected to
play the savior.
Jason Kidd, who will be announced
as a Hall of Fame inductee this weekend, isn't exactly
playing nice with the
teams that fired him,
which isn't a bad thing necessarily, but is a thing.
Walcott cant
play as CF, Giroud cant score against
team which park the bus.
In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never
played better,
which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming
play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then
played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7
teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good
team can afford to have that many average players on their bench
playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies...
as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)
Having been a winner wherever he has
played, Arsenal's supposed lack of ambition had begun to frustrate the Chilean international, but after being given the number 7 shirt,
which shows his importance to the
team,
as well
as more intent in the transfer window with the signings of Xhaka, Lucas and Mustafi, it now seems that Alexis is keen to stride forward with Arsenal and hopefully sign a new contract in the process.
keep calm lol why did not even win the game from andre the
team which players are very young (avg 20 years) santi he is out of from but he
played every 90 min.wenger logic chamber he is not rb.why the hell wenger sent jenki on loan he is much better rb
as compare to chamber and west ham at 4 and he started every single game.
But a
playing Gunners starting formation
which excluded Welbeck, have now evolved
as the current Gunners best
playing formation
team.
Big in your list I can agree that all these players would improve us, but let's look at our CB At the moment Kos, top player but is struggling with a inj
which may or may not heal, at the moment he isn't match fit so not up to his own high standard, so needs help or a defender of his quality so he can go and recover properly So then we have Mert, too slow and no longer good enough, I'm not sure if he's even good enough for 3 rd choice CB, too slow, poor on the air for his size and not brave enough, he's lasted this long due to Kos he needs a Top class CB just to allow him to
play against average
teams Ok now Reid not top class we can all agree so we couldn't really
play him with MERT
as he isn't Kos quality so can't cover merits deficiencys He could be ok with Kos but Kos is struggling So is Reid what we need???? And finally Wenger if he has all 3 fit will still
play Kos / Mert first choice Oh and God forbid we
play MERT / Reid against the top
teams like Chels / city / utd / Southampton Chuckle chuckle
OT: Looking @ our
team I think we need one good attacker more especially on that right wing, not necessarily a striker
as walcott and sanchez can
play there,
as in someone like Pedro... If we use our best line up up front
which Sanchez, Giroud and Walcott, then imagine what we will have on the bench offensively..
