Not exact matches
Our Big Effin» German turned 30 years old a couple
of weeks ago, but Arsenal should still get plenty
of service
out of him at
centre back, where age does not tend to cut a
player's career off quite as soon as other outfield
players.
If the injury is going to rule the
player out for quite some time, Arsene Wenger does
of course have various options at
centre back to replace the German.
Rodgers will look to offset the cost
of his summer spending by offloading a number
of players he deems surplus to requirements, among these are thought to be striker Andy Carroll, England winger Stewart Downing and
out of favour
centre - back Martin Skrtel.
The midfielder was also admirable in his time at
centre - back with Barcelona and he was one
of the only defensive
players to have come
out of the Catalan club with his reputation intact.
But when Bellerin faced a few weeks
out injured, it was time for Jenkinson to step up, however he looked like he was on a completely different level to the rest
of the
players and he quickly found himself replaced by
centre back Gabriel after a few games.
I've realised people are confusing fullback and wingback assuming them to almost be the same.A wingback can be viewed as a more defensive winger whiles a fullback is just a
player put near the sides
of the
centre fullback.Their roles are clearly very different and well defined.That's why you'll consider Ox at RWB and not RB.We need to switch back to 4 -2-3-1 to get the best
out of our
players like Ozil, Ox, Kolasinac, Bellerin and Monreal.They'll suffer a lot under 3 -4-3.
I have said it here time and time again that Theo Walcott has everything needed to play as a striker except for strength and aggression.Theo Walcott will always lose the physical battle when his back is to goal.That is a huge concern because its reduces the potency
of the attack.I would really hope he stays on the wing and Wenger should sign a
Centre forward.You cant just be rotating week in week
out just like that you need your
players to play so they can find form.Theo should stay on the wing.
The
players Wenger signed to strengthen the team, namely Mustafi, Xhaka and Kolasinac are simply not good enough for an aspiring top four team.They along with Czech and Ospina should be the first to be shown the door along with all the
players currently
out on loan.The Club would take a big bit in terms
of resale value but it would free up considerable wages to be utilised in bringing in better quality defenders.Anybody who sees a bright future for Arsenal with Mustafi at
Centre Back has my sympathy.
If Arsenal stick with three
centre backs then Mustafi must be considered a far better choice for the third birth alongside Kos and Holding rather then Monreal.Kolasinac has to come back in at left eing - back and Bellerin revert to the right.Midfield is a very different matter.Arsenal still desperately need a proper defensive central player.Ozil in this current side can not be considered anything more than a luxury.All
of Bournemouth's creativity will come down the flanks so it's necessary to put
players on to the pitch who are prepared to fulfill their defensive duties.This also means that unless Ramsey can work
out that he's playing in midfield not as a number 10 he has no place on the team either.
The knives are
out for the boss in the football media once again, and a few
of the individual
players as well after another performance that has added fuel to the fire
of the old adage that Arsenal have got a soft
centre and don't like it up»em, with the Watford penalty scorer Troy Deeney not helping by suggesting that exact thing.
The
centre back explained to Arsenal
Player that as well as knowing that being
out of action is leaving his team mates and manager with a problem to deal with, especially when the Gunners have had so many
out of action at the same time, it was really tough on a personal level.
A lot has changed in the year he was
out, before injury he was one
of our main
players banging goals left right and
centre.
The La Liga giants have had to use
players out of position to take the veteran Spaniard's spot in the
centre of defence, with the likes
of Javier Mascherano and Eric Abidal filling in for the 33 year old.
Why do u constantly question the coach's tactics and then every time his line up gets a win, u start owning it as if u are the ones who selected the
players to start?And playing
players out of position.I will only believe that Wenger is crazy when i see Carzola playing
centre - back.
Wenger put ozil on the wing for his development one thing i do nt get is how the fans do nt see that Wenger done the same process with Wilshere, I remember when Monreal was caught
out at the back post from a set piece and ozil did nt cover he just jogged abit n let monreal get beat, that would be video evidence for Ozil to learn and work on his duty to defend instead
of giving him Candy like a baby n letting him be lazy in the middle not tracking back for the team its a learning process im 100 % Wenger knows ozils best position is in the
centre he followed him since Shalke its obvious but Wenger develops
players into world class after seeing Ozil in the world cup and coming back after the world cup i coud see he defended alot more helping
out monreal on the flanks and putting in alot more effort only then once hes showed his duty in defending will he be given his free role in the middle.
And surely we are more industrious than a certain EPL French manager who can not transfer in or
out players of decent footballing qualities & becomes a
centre of transfer sagas every transfer window...»
Having the return
of Cazorla this season has already proved vital in the
centre of midfield, however once again the Spaniard faces an extended period
of time on the sidelines, with the
player currently ruled
out with an injury.
Chambers - Paid a lot
of money for a young
player with little experience in regards First Team and Premiership games.He looked a good prospect and because
of injuries to the squad he found himself playing very soon into his Arsenal career.This caught up with him a bit as did playing with different CB partners and filling in at full back.Form dipped and was
out of the side till a year long loan move to Boro.He was playing every week and despite them going down he was one
of their best and consistent players.He has been indifferent since coming back but has looked better in last few games he has played.I believe there is a very decent
centre back in this
player and would not describe him as a bad buy at all.
Until we cease to buy our season tickets, which for many is akin to taking
out a second mortgage, the ludicrous salaries paid to
players and Managers will continue to increase.With regard to the present crop
of Arsenal
players some may lack the guts and determination
of the ex
players you mention but at the end
of the day the problem at the club now is a lack
of quality particularly through the spine
of the team.Virtually all our fans recognise the need for quality in Goal, at
Centre Back and DM.Unfortunately the one man who is in a position to do something about it does not seem to agree with us.
whatever you think
of ramsey... and in my books he is a decent b2b but certainly not top class... he is not going to control the area between edge
of box and
centre line which is what all great DMs do... nor has coquelin proved that to me... he is a guttusso type
player and has improved massively in that role... not convinced it is what will take us to challenging for titles however which is why a cavalho type DM is a needed addition especially as arteta and flamini are obviously not up to the task... but have always said that wengers job is to get best
out of ozil santi and wilshere who are the real creative world class strengths
of this squad... they need protection behind them and options in front... at moment the real worry is that wenger will continue to use mertesakher at CB and fail to bring in quality striker... so the song remains the same... without quality DM and attacking option we will be trying to retain 3rd place and reach qf
of cl
Versus Stoke I saw a couple
of mid range free kicks that were slinged into our box and Ospina was just calm and coaching his
centre backs where I know Szczesny would've came
out and tried to stomp the ball, causing alot
of neverse amongst
players and fans.
Speaking about
of defenders and Wenger's obsession with
players out of position, during that Champions League quarter - final at the Kop Wenger put Toure (
centre - half) into the right fullback position that he has never played in before.
Whilst many are keen on just about any
centre forward to replace Giroud not many talk about how this
player would interact and get the best
out of Alexis / Walcott.
Not many
players can / could fit into a Barca midfield without looking a fish
out of water, especially the
centre, yet no doubt Cazorla could / should flourish.
If the break on pace doesn't work and
players are
out of shape... we have pace in our new
centre back pairing.
Then in 2008 he was jailed for assaulting a 16 - year - old in Liverpool city
centre, which he then topped up by stubbing
out a cigar on the eye
of a City youth team
player in Thailand.
Another superb
player on the books at Dortmund, Arsenal could do with forking
out around # 30m that would be needed to sign world class
centre - back Mats Hummels, with the club currently weak in depth at the back and in need
of improvements.
Just like the last time Arsenal were preparing for a Premier League game, most
of the concern about
out opponents is
centred around one
player.
Today that transfer deal looks off with reports claiming that the Hornets have pulled
out but perhaps leaving it late has worked in Arsenal's favour as West Brom are also one
of the clubs interested in our
player and we are being linked with their
centre back Jonny Evans.
You all act as if Replacing Giroud will win us the title we need 3
players for that to happen and beware
Of Liverpool this season they are technically good with milner and henderson sitting in the
centre Of the park they will be a very good team but arsenal with fine
out when we play them.
The Chilean has proven to be one
of the best
players in the English league this term, playing
out of his skin in either a
centre forward role or
out on the wing, and is attracting interest from a number
of clubs.
We already know that the likes
of Ozil, Carzola have easily been found
out and wanting in games (and again, not just in big games) Stoke, Sunderland et al aren't going to be worried about a tricky
player with a low
centre of gravity and a few tricks in his bag.
Now is the time Wenger MUST change things round ready for next season.Auba and Lacazette up front as TWO STRIKERS.Mikki on the right.Ozil in the
CENTRE FFS.He is not on the ball enough
out wide.He is our best
player so play to his strengths.He will get the best
out of everyone else.Get Zhaka
out and put AMN in as a CDM NOW.How much longer must we put up with below level performances?Just admit it was a mistake buying him, ship him
out and move on.Try to get through the season with the defenders we have got.Wenger has proved he is incapable
of moulding a consistent performance from what we have got (ALL
PLAYERS HE HAS BROUGHT TO THE CLUB) and let the new guy in next season either sort them
out and / or get rid
of them.
In defense one
player being
out of position shifts the whole defense, so quite often it is hard to see who the culprit is — it's often a full back being too far forward or one
centre back stepping forward too far.
But to that end, playing Oxlade - Chamberlain at wing - back has resulted in Wenger playing
players out of position: Héctor Bellerin has gone to left wing - back because he's better than Oxlade - Chamberlain there, Sead Kolasinac is playing at left
centre - back, which he can play but probably not in conjunction with Nacho Monreal as the central defensive
player.
«I think he left because he felt disrespected that he did not play in a particular game when a few
players were played
out of position in midfield», said the former England international
centre - back.
Arsenal should remain on the lookout for a striker, but with Vardy now wanting more time, Arsenal should move on from him, and sort
out the other needs
of the squad: a wide attacking
player, and a
centre back, and creating a functioning base and game plan.

out to suggest what he feel will be

It would be criminal to highlight three
players from this current Zenit squad, without mentioning one
of their Argentine imports, a cohort in which
centre back Emanuel Mammana has arguably stood
out amongst.
You got that from watching 8 min Tony, If they had not had there goal disallowed and Adrien had not saved the penalty we would have lost 2 - 0 where in your 8 mins did you see us deserve any more than 1 point, We sent a team
out there with no
centre forward with a bench full
of better
players and BFS this time got his point but will not have slept because his boy is running
out of games to score that most important goal, Yes it was better crap then the crap we have had for the last 3 games but crap is crap And I am glad it's good enough for some.
Emanuel Mammana — It would be criminal to highlight three
players from this current Zenit squad, without mentioning one
of their Argentine imports, a cohort in which
centre back Emanuel Mammana has arguably stood
out amongst.
It was claimed over the weekend that the Catalan outfit were going to try and hijack Liverpool's attempts to recruit the Southampton
centre - back and that they would basically blow the Reds
out of the water with an offer that the
player couldn't turn down.
I have read various team news speculation during the week about formations and lineups which range from pragmatic damage limitation to the more bizarre including suggestions
of playing Zabaleta at
centre back or in midfield; strange that those having criticised Bilic for playing
players out of position would believe that such an idea would have any more legs than the
player himself.
Koscielny was solid and confident at right - back against Norwich, however with his ability in one - on - ones against skilful
players such as Gotze I believe he should start in the
centre along with Vermaelen to combat the fluid attacking line
of Dortmund, with Djourou starting
out right.
Four
of the
players were bought as replacements; Right - Back Mathieu Debuchy replaced Bacary Sagna, Goalkeeper David Ospina in for the departing Lukasz Fabianski and versatile Defender Calum Chambers was brought in to cover both the Right - Back and
Centre - Back positions after Carl Jenkinson was loaned
out and Thomas Vermaelen joined Barcelona.

In some ways, Kante plays like a footballer
out of time: a truly wonderful throwback to the kind
of all - action heroes that ruled the
centre of the field in the English topflight during the 1980s and 1990s — not a regression but some retro - future retelling
of type
of player that been long thought dead and buried.
I can understand why Arsene Wenger potentially wanted a quicker
player in the main
centre - forward role as the expectation would have been that Arsenal would be able to sit in a bit more and look to counter attack the hosts, but with the early goal, that plan was immediately thrown
out the window as PSG were happy to be the team to soak up some pressure before releasing the pace
of Cavani, Di Maria and the full - backs.
One must question Liverpool's medical staff with the Anfield men inflicted by so many injuries that both their left sided
centre backs are
out at a crucial stage
of the season — both Agger and Sakho are comfortable with the ball and this mistake wouldn't have happened with one
of those left sided
players fit.
And whilst Barca have met their match the key difference between us and them is where their
centre midfielders and Iniesta spend most
of their time, ie not on the edge
of the 18 yard box, more likely somewhere between half way and 30 yards
out from goal, always available for the breakdowns and to be an outlet when Messi or Neymar has run into a crowd
of players, they rarely force a pass where the sun doesn't shine, they just wait their chances.
