Santi's been producing arguably his best form at our club while playing in a deeper role and Ozil's
playing in his preferred position with a lot of creative and positional freedom between the two.
Not exact matches
When
played with Xhaka, who
prefers to originate
in the same deep
position as Le Coq, and does not
prefer to
play in an advanced
position of the DM, then Le Coq is useless.
If we looked at the pre-season and opening game, the Ox was constantly moved between either wings or the wing back
position and this does not do well
with players
in general who'd
prefer a defined role and
position in which they can
play in.
obviously I would
prefer to have a much more suitable alternative
in the defensive midfielder
positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots away
in and around the top of the box
with their most dominant feet... if goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for OX and bring Ramsey
in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more of a 3 -1-5-1
with Ramsey
playing higher up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud as a sub when the game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team
with incredible link - up
play and a much more direct approach
in the offensive end
A very, very positive sign that I personally feel is more indicative of where our defence is at considering it was actually
with our
preferred options
playing in key
positions.
Mesut Ozil finally came good
in yesterday's game against Aston Villa and I hate to say it, but it would not be wrong to say that Wenger has finally
played him
in his
preferred position and we were rewarded
with him scoring his first goal this season and also assisting for another.
It's a
position he's
played in drips and drabs
in recent years,
with Wenger instead
preferring to
play the 23 year old out on the wing.
Flamini does nt have the ability to bring d ball out from defense to attack, he cant dictate the
play nor launch attack from his
position which is bad especially when you compare him to the way modern defensive midfielders
plays this days... Things has evolved, good and modern coaches now
prefers to have ball
playing and technical defenders, we have that
in koscieny and Gabriel, also our full backs are excellent
with the ball, but Flamini is not, you can see all see how we kept on loosing possession against Liverpool.
I agree,
with Campbell there we shouldn't have to worry about the striker
position at all, there's 5 players who either
prefer to
play there or can
play there
in the case of puzzling a lineup.
Personally, I would have
preferred us getting another top CB this summer to
play with Mustafi and Koscielny (also Mustafi's injury shows the importance of getting one) but Monreal seems to be coping well
in CB left
position
The Ox
played many roles when he was at Arsenal, and his last was as a wing - back, but he always said that his
preferred position was
in central midfield, but Wenger kept putting him
in any
position on the pitch
with little success.
The 24 year - old has not been shy
in telling Wenger that he is not happy
with the situation: «
Playing on the right is not my
preferred position,» said Ramsey.
Apart from his
preferred position at centre - half, the German international can also
play with equal comfort at either of the full - back
positions and even
in defensive midfield, surely Arsenal can do
with a player like that!
Our winning run has «coincided»
with Ozil
playing in his
preferred position in central midfield.
One discovers that there are teams that
prefer to drive the ball deep down the field
with a single kick and hope to win the ultimate scramble for it; teams that have super-duper wingers like Stanley Matthews, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, who can carry the ball single - footedly down the sideline before looping a pass to the forwards bunched
in front of the goal; teams that specialize
in position play,
with a fullback bringing the ball up 20 yards, then passing off to a halfback and retaining his
position, and so on down the field; teams that pass and pass and pass, cuties
in spikes, until one begins to wonder if anyone knows how to shoot.
@almostawinner I totally agree
with you we are good at creating chances we reach very good
positions but giroud is less than average he won't even
play at some mid-tables teams beleive me he can't dribble he rarely take long ranged shots he is not the best at movement I don't understand what do arsene wenger see
in him to rely on him as our first choice We were going to get a striker three years ago (higuain) but the deal failed
in the last second because wenger
prefered to get ozil so what did giroud do to prove that he deserves his
position can anybody tell me I really get mad when some arsenal fans tell that he is a good player because he is not!!
I do
prefer Sissoko over Schneiderlin if he can somehow be more disciplined defensively... Sssoko is a real beast I believe he can be a good DM / CM and can also
play with Coq... He often used
in Newcastle more offensively as he can drift
with the ball forward and pass defenders and has good eyes of the goal «shooting +
positioning»
He is a central midfielder and a very very good one yet the manager is
playing the same game
with him as he has done
with quite a number of players over the years
in playing him out of his
preferred natural
position.
With the new formation allowing two players to occupy the space behind the striker, the 21 - year - old may find himself with a handful of opportunities to play in that position, which is where he prefers to p

I know that neither of the options for Arsenal
in the centre forward
position has quite done it for us yet this season, but
with Danny Welbeck out for a long time and Alexis Sanchez seeming to
prefer to
play in a wide forward or number 10 role, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud are what we will have to make do
with.
«People keep saying about Danny Welbeck not scoring enough goals, but you have to look at the people
with him and
in front of him and how many games has he really
played in his
preferred position?»
Wenger can not motivate these guys and if we lose Ozil to Wenger's stubborness to not
play him
in his
preferred position like he did
with Arshavin, then that is our perfect cup of tea.
We can expect to see a handful of younger players such as Ainsley Maitland - Niles and Reiss Nelson, and
with Arsene Wenger planning to rest Xhaka, Maitland - Niles may
play in his
preferred midfield
position,
with Josh DaSilva at left back (another option
in midfield is Mohamed Elneny).
Klopp would make Maiga a ten goal a season striker for us...: — RRB - I really do believe that Maiga is actually decent, being
played in his
prefered position and getting support from teammates, not having to feed from scraps as isolated striker
with no teammate near him.
Arshavin was on a high when he first arrived at the Grove and could operate anywhere
in the forward line, but eventually the stress & fatigue that comes
with playing for an English team caught up
with him and he would have
preferred to have moved back into his usual
position behind the striker (
with a license to roam) which is what he was known for at Zenit St. Petersburg and the Russia national team.
James Rodríguez moved back on the field so the Portuguese star could
play in his
preferred position near the sideline and Luka Modric teamed up
with Toni Kroos ahead of the defensive line.
We are looking at Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge and Benteke though; and so at first this formation may seem odd,
with only one player — Benteke —
playing in his
preferred position, whilst Firmino and Sturridge are out wide, and Coutinho is
played in a left centre - mid
position, however, one of the best aspects of the 4 -3-3 is the ability to have a fluid front line,
with Benteke, Sturridge & Firmino all able to interchange and move into the
position that the game situation requires.
At the same time, I would've
preferred stereo speakers as well, but the
position of the speaker grille on the back of the tablet means that you won't cover it
with your hands when
playing games — as it's the case of some smartphones
with mono audio when used
in landscape mode.
