On top of all of this, Wayne Rooney will have to be
played out of position again this season, meaning he will under perform just as he did when he was played behind Van Persie last season and the season before.
Do you want to see monreal
played out of position again?
Not exact matches
Respect to Aaron for stating a fact, Wenger make the fans criticize the players because he force them in the team or
play them
out of position like wilsh and Ramsey.if Wenger would accept to rotate the players every one would have
play time but he insists on
playing the same team
again and
again.He does it when we win and when we loose that why we are never consistent enough to win big trophies.
The weaknesses spotted last year were highlighted
again... CAM
played out of position on the left, lack
of mobility at CB and much needed strengthening in CDM
position.
If we start this season with those two in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one
of these players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this team for a number
of years... this is what I call the «no man's land»
of the soccer world, where teams don't have enough talented young players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management team becomes little more than a stagnant group
of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead
of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless
of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard
of a team who
plays players
out of position so often...
of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team
of any consequence ever
again
Ozil was
played out of position once
again.
The players will not grown and develop in their main
positions (as much as they otherwise would have), unless they
play out of position, against the highest calibre
of players, so to say that it should only be done when they are young, once
again, shows a severe lack
of understanding
of how players fully develop.
But
again, Wenger should stop
playing players
out of position.
Want to hear from all those arse licking football idiots drooling away on this website over a bunch
of friendly victories... So I'll say it
again mert is a liability Ramsey and giroud are good bench players and we need a world class dm... Oh and a new manager... Endlessly
playing out of position... Same shit year in year
out with this guy it really is... Even if we win if this guy thinks he has a winning team he is even more dillusional than I though and I wanted him carried off to funny farm 5 years ago
I'm pretty sure the players are sick
of Wenger
playing them
out of position and trying dubious combinations that will never work, just so he can once
again call himself a footballing genius.
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)
the cheese eating surrender monkey has screwed up
again we all know that now so we have to hope to get our real quality players performing to full potential that is ozil sanchez wishere carzola... i am not sure there is a combo with all four and at this moment wilshere and sanchez are the only ones looking pretty decent and as wellbeck needs to be integrated those
positions are settled... i am a big ozil fan and really believe wenger is failing to get best
out of him by
playing him
out of position so cant we
play some kind
of diamond with him at the top feeding to a front line
of sanchez and wellbeck... for me neither flamini nor arteta add anything to the team so i think
playing to attacking strengths is the only option right now... but its really a ridiculous state
of affairs we have been left in... throwing caution to the wind i would go for
As for the season before that season we also had no cover for injuries and guess what, next season it will be injuries
again and zero cover, lots
of players wasted by being
played out of position and under performing.
Are we going to
play Ozil
out of position again?
Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger would once
again prefer
playing an
out of position Gabriel at right back instead
of Jenkinson, if Bellerin was to be injured or suspended.
With all that being the case Ozil should be asked to either
play in the no. 10
position or not at all, not because no. 10s are incapable
of doing so on the wing, because time and time
again several no 10s across the world perform well in fluid attacking roles allowing them to
play either centrally or attack
out wide.
Set pieces, now a lot has been made
of this zonal marking similar to Ozil being
played out of position and
again a lot
of it is misinformed.
The guy has been pushed
out of position again by Wenger, if allowed to
play where his DNA meant for him to
play he would bounce back to form.
U do know keeping Sanchez is not a win for anybody right, this is a player that doesn't want to
play for us anymore, the two new players we bought are being benched by le fraud in other to
play players
out of position, but we shouldn't be angry, let's celebrate whoooo we failed to address our biggest problem
again getting rid
of the yoghourt man.
why was Sead not
playing... if he's not better than the little engine that couldn't at left - back or Bellerin
playing out of position, why did we get him in the first place... his size would have provided some much needed muscle against an undersized Liverpool front line while his speed would have made those in wide
positions play more honestly... I still believe that Wenger was once
again punishing the fans for not being satisfied with what had transpired so far in the current window... no matter what the reasons, the decision was indicative
of the ineptitude
of this manager against top ranked opponents
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
i agree DJ... we are not a mid table club... Campbell just doesn't cut it.I said this before and will say it
again — how can he be quality if Ramsey (not an
out and
out winger)
plays ahead
of you in your
position.
Manuel Pellegrini is having to cope without a number
of options upfront at the moment due to injuries, and James Milner looks set to
play out of position as the main striker
again.
Possession football, leaving it late ti find goals, an utterly confused defence after taking a lead, fighting to salvage draws
agains weaker teams, reliance on one or two special players to bale us
out, poor timing
of substitutions, the frequent long term injury list, quality players
played out of position, referees gunning us and yet our players commit the kind
of fouls leading to cards and penalties.
Let me quickly remind you before you forget
again and
again that this very problem was outlined before the close
of transfer window, instead
of making reinforcements, he sold our true back up central defender, didn't buy replacement after he «promised», and
played an already poor left back
out of position for cover, we have not had a defensive midfielder after Gilberto left, so tell me
again how these problems are fresh from this season... Its time arsenal fans stop glory hunting and realise that even if Wenger hand us the EPL (a chance fatter gunnersaurus)... HE NEEDS TO GO!!!
I wouldn't normally be advocating
playing players
out of their
positions but as we have no strength in depth (thanks
again AW) we are forced to.
Playing Sanchez who was
out of form instead
of Lacazette, and Bellerin
out of position again was a recipe for disaster to begin with.
we have become so reliant upon one individual to run the whole operation that our once relevant scouting department has become so stagnant that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once... when this occurs the management team, who by this juncture is little more than a congregation
of spefically chosen «yes» men, making it incredibly difficult for new ideas to emerge and / or transfers / contract renegotiations to be dealt with in a timely and effective manner... so instead
of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless
of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard
of a team who
plays players
out of position so often...
of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team
of any consequence ever
again
(1) this squad has way too many moving parts and very few
of our players are good enough at their preferred
position let alone relying on them in whatever
position Wenger and his magic eight ball decide in the tunnel prior to the game... when teams do this it generally signals issues within the club, much like Jose last year and Van Gael before him... no one gets settled, the chemistry is almost non-existent and if provides a built - in excuse when the team comes up short... these issues fall squarely on Wenger, both for his decisions regarding players coming in and for his inability to rid the team
of those players who aren't cutting it... in actually fact we have only 6 real starters on this current squad and that's being generous (Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette, Sead, Kos & Cazorla)... which is discouraging because Cazorla is injured and might never
play again, Sanchez is wanting
out and the club is lying to us about his injury status, Lacazette receives no service, Ozil is relatively disinterested
out there, Kos is getting up there and Sead is just trying to settle in... there isn't a single other player that would start regularly on any
of the other top 3 teams, which should be the standard... imagine this team moving forward if Wenger only sells before the window closes
Ramsey has had one good season for us since his horrible injury, he needlessly gives the ball away much too often and his finishing is even worse than Giroud's... once
again we have fallen in love with the idea
of what could have been... Ramsey has only scored 2 meaningful goals in his entire Arsenal tenure: one in Turkey and the other in last year's FA Cup, which is not near enough to make him a centerpiece
of this offence... likewise simply his presence on the team sheet has led Wenger into making horrible tactical blunders because he will force Ramsey into the lineup even when it doesn't make sense... just think
of all those games when Ramsey was
played out wide on the right, which forced the RB to come up into the
play far more often, and deeper, because Ramsey invariably would find himself in a more central
position leaving us far more vulnerable to the counterattack..
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better
position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition
of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release
of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state
of affairs on a
position - by -
position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid
of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that
position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy
of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid
of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid
of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan
out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction
of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return
of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort
of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative
of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition
of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle
of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any
of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind
of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant
again we need to be strong up the middle
again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack
of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result
of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest
of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands
of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none
of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club
of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid
of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field
of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version
of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history
of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker
position falls once
again squarely at the feet
of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival
of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone
of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players
of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that
of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part
of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet
of those who were well aware all along
of the potential pitfalls
of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
Here we go
again playing players
out of position
Always
out of position thinking he is a winger... then
again carsola what more can I say about him awesome we never lost a game where he
played so well..
Ramsey - Oh My God if I could I would have flown to Manchester to deliver him a drop kick right in his head because he was not screwed on
AGAIN... Gave the ball away was always
out of position not linking up
play like a midfielder should..
He did nt
play good, but then
again you cant blame him when he's
played out of position, just like özil
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has revealed his frustrations at
playing out of position in recent weeks and has called on manager Arsene Wenger to use him as a central midfielder once
again, Mirror Online reports.
I've simply stated the
position he is
playing in is not my cup
of tea I prefer midfielders to have more in the locker, not really too hard to comprehend and it's not blinds fault he's being asked tp
play the role he's
playing in, on matic I've mentioned him twice on these blogs thats it in all my time commenting that's hardlybmr keep mentioning him and I reply to those calling him a defensive mid, I've merely pointed
out he's got mire to his game than being a defensive midfielder,
again not rocket science or hard to understand!
Fabs was
again played mostly
out of position and did well.
