Tigres made an error
playing out of defence, and Aquino gave away a soft penalty on the left of the area.
On the positive side I have seen plenty to suggest he will be an authoritative passing CB when he gets his time — maybe the best passer we have amongst our defenders — seen him ping quite a few quick, accurate passes to feet when
playing out of defence.
It's that immaturity in his game that simply has to be erased if he's going to be our keeper down the line...
Playing it out of defence is fine if it's 100 % safe.
The ball is
played out of defence by Arteta toward either Özil or directly to Santi.
The problem is that all of our central defenders are of the other type — the sweep up and
play out of defence type (no2, for the purpose of this discussion).
Not exact matches
He thought that you wouldn't necessarily get a guy's personality revealed
playing one - on - one or
playing horse, but over an hour and a half
of playing [on a team] with a guy when he's tired and his
defences are down, ultimately his personality is going to come
out.
Yes Giroud is not a 30 goal a season striker, but he does have his place, when we are struggling to get the ball
out of our own half as a target man, and in set pieces, and
defence, and he does score the odd goal from free
play as well.
In that game City didn't
play with their starting 11, specially their
defence was weak.They were
out of Pablo Zabeleta, Vincent Kompony, Dimichilis, Mangala, Fernandinho, Silva and Auguero.And now all are fit and present, so don't expect last time result.
One sunny day in June doesn't make a hot summer... part
of our 4th place junkie years that need to go in to football history... He maybe quick but he actually slows down movement from
defence to attack Can't dribble or defend and his positional sense is average... Hundred grand a week is day light robbery by the whippet... And he crowds
out better
plays in squad and stops wenger investing in top quality we need... Might get 16 or 17 mill from some deluded team so sell qnd let's move on to better things... Dybala for example... Sanchez dybala drexler... Hmm
The problem is our
defence and cdm Flamini: always help the other side Arteta: never was the player than we expect him, he injured most
of the time, and lost the ball in dangerous situation Per: he is good just in corners but he is lazy and slow Our good defender is just kosc and chambers And also debuchy but we must
play with
out him aleast 1 month Gibbs and monreal are good players but they are not good
defence So we are very delicate in big and important games
I want a back - to - basics centre back who excels at defending first - & - foremost at Arsenal, that rules
out Stones - he's made his reputation by being very accomplished at dribbling the ball
out of defence and
playing it forward.
According to France Football, Bodmer — who can
play in the heart
of defence and at the base
of the midfield — is set to retake his place in the team after two months
out due to a calf tear.
Yes, he may not
play an exiting brand
of football, but he'll sort
out the
defence, and he can work on a smaller budget than what Wenger has (for all those fans that say it's all about the money).
You cant escape he fact that Podolski was
played rarely and when he was he was
played out of position much the same way that Wenger has assembled a squad
of players most
of which are a talented bunch, but, Wenger has failed to build a team who fit n with each other, we have a midfield that overtly populated with players who al excel in the same role BUT have no solid defensive midfield talent and no options in
defence when players have crap periods or are long term injury problems.
I beleive this team in form will get the best
out of barca and even beat them Barcelona
plays with high line with high pressure with cazorla, ozil and sanchez ability to get the ball from tight spaces we can pass the first
defence line and go counter attacking with theo and sanchez with some magical passes from our wizard we can put the fear in there team and could get a win atleast at the emirates but since cazorla and coquelin are not sure to be
playing i feel it will be very hard to get a positive result but let's give it a go we have nothing to lose
England had to wait until the 53rd minute before they finally broke down the resilient Malta
defence, as Harry Kane put the Three Lions in front thanks to a fine piece
of play from his Spurs teammate Dele Alli who did brilliantly to pick the striker
out despite being surrounding by opposition players.
Now check
out Arsenal (Ramsey, Ozil, Ox, Xhaka, coquelin, Elneny,) all
of them static mid fielders no forward drive or incisive
plays and no steel to stop opposing teams from piling pressure on our
defence).
Honestly it comes down to the defensive side
of things and I would prefer if sanchez
played out on the wing becuz he offers more defensive cover for the
defence.
The ball was worked
out to Hector Bellerin, and the full - back
played a great ball in front
of the
defence for Alexis Sanchez.
So the fact that he confirmed his interest in the young English defender Tyrone Mings, as reported by The Mirror, is fairly
out of character for the Prof.. The 21 - year old is currently
playing in the Championship for Ipswich Town and his usual role is as a left back, but at 6ft 3in and with his power and pace, it is thought that he could easily make the switch to central
defence, which is coincidentally the weakest part
of the Arsenal squad right now.
The build up
play is too slow and gives the opposition time to regroup — opposition
defences happily let us
play in front
of them and
out lack
of width makes it even easier to defend.
We have Debuchy, Sanchez, Ramsey, Wilshere, Campbell, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Walcott, Welbeck... All these players have pace and work rate, as well as technical skill, but we can't tell them to press high when they lose the ball or to bring chaos to the opponent's
defence because not only do we lack cover in midfield and central defense, we also
play them
out of position.
This is the best game I've seen so far
of Kolasinac and I hope it will continue, I really do like his style
of play bar the moments in the game where he was caught
out in
defence but I am sure he'll improve with game time.
Our
defence is suffering numerous injuries which has forced us to
play players
out of position or to dip into our reserves and that puts a lot
of pressure on our midfielders.
Play both leave xhaka
out go 3 -5-2 laca back into the team with ozil behind laca and Abu n bellerin and miki on either side
of him behind them in front
of the
defence Ramsey and wilshere with our
defence picking themself.
Interestingly he has
played as a left midfielder as well in the centre
of defence, and could well relish a role in the 3 -4-2-1 formation which Wenger tried
out on Monday night against Middlesbrough.
Well written, but I think it will fall on deaf ears, my fear is as follows, it will take a loss in money for the manager and board to change, this will only come if we finish
out of the top 4, but knowing the board they would still give home a season to try again, I feel very sorry for Sanchez, he is total quality and deserves better, most
of the other players look settled, turn up give70 % and get paid, no matter what level you
play at you should come off the pitch thinking I gave everything, how many
of our players could say that, they lack motivation, player for player we are as good if not better than athletico Madrid but they have a manger that gets 100 %
out of every player, Klopp is the same, but why would they leave their clubs to come here with a boar that cares about money not entertainment, Wenger was a lucky manager he inherited a top
defence now his luck has run
out
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
His pace and movement are a nightmare for
defences and make them
play that 10 yards deeper, bringing the best
out of the likes
of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
Play Wenger in
defence and hopefully someone will put him
out of action for the rest
of the season Transfer time!!!! Oh sorry we always give new contracts to people that are always injured.
Gotanidea is correct when he says we need explosive wingers.We need natural width and pace before we can even think about getting the best from Lacazette and (hopefully) Auba without Wenger
playing one
of them
out wide.We continue to allow
defences to dominate us by stopping us
playing wide and we are forced into the crowded area outside the box trying to thread the ball through an eye
of a needle.
SC19 is our best midfielders ANYTIME: He can
play up to 3 or 4 positions; He will drive team
out of tight a
defence; He can use both legs efectively; He has a decent short taking with high degree
of accuracy; He is a cool headed guy with great skills (typical Spaniard).
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.
A man who disses the whole concept or necessity for a tight
defence, as Wenger has done for a full decade (or even more, in truth) should be drummed
out of top level football and sent to manage on HACKNEY MARSHES, DIVISION 8, where he will find his Utopia, teams
playing like Arsenal
defence.
I don't anticipate seeing him
out for 20 minutes every night, but even getting 10 minutes consistently would be good for his development I think.There's some talent there we could make use
of, if he can avoid fouls and
play acceptable
defence.
Plus Per is retiring anyway so number wise we are very short and we saw what happened at the beginning
of the season with a make shift
defence of players being
played out of position
I have passionately wanted Wenger
out for a full decade and one idiot who thinks we should just shut up and support this long term loser manager who has no tactics; can't use subs properly; mis handles players;
plays them constantly
out of position and who doesn't get the need for
defence / attack balance (constantly sending two full backs upfield together and
playing attacking midfielders as holding players) is in cloud cuckoo land.
No you can't blame ozil for being
played out of position but we should be able to blame Wenger for
playing him on the wing where he is a liability in
defence and average in attack.
The way Chambers has adapted to
playing in the centre
of defence, I would not mind seeing the 19 - year old given a go there, but time is short and running
out fast, with just the games against Everton, Besiktas and Leicester City coming before the summer transfer window slams shut.
Yeah nice to
play the ball
out of defence but if necessary just effing clear it guys!
Sloppy passing, an unfocused
defence and a team
playing consistently
out of shape — sums up the game for Arsenal... we still need to strengthen in key positions, whilst having patience with the players we already have.
the match between England and France prove to us why arsenal will never be a top club not only because
of the manager but also fans we praise a bellow average player ox Chamberlain but look at the
defence between him and the young French players we will never improve from where we're because we have to much faith mediocrity we are not improving because
of these players ox Wolcott Ramsey ozil Jack Wilshire Francis Coquelin Danny Welbeck there are a lot
of young exciting
play out there who can improve us
A
defence can
play a high line and that's Giroud
out of the game.
Ozil needs to be
played more centrally if we hope to benefit from his creativity with the ball and Welbeck's first touch is far too sloppy to be
played along side Lacazette... we need to find a formation which allows more service to those making runs from the middle
of the pitch... Lacazette can not
play so much with his back to goal or we're simply
playing the same unsuccessful offensive scheme we
played with Giroud, who is much better in that type
of role... I can only hope we keep Sanchez and purchase a true defensive midfielder then switch to a 4 -4-1-1, which allows us to have Ozil
play more centrally with Sead and Sanchez on the left side and Ox and Bellerin on the right, which would stretch
defences so much that we could overwhelm most opponents with both runs in behind and overlapping runs
out wide
Can u imagine us going 2 up front... Here we are with 3 cbs Cech Kos Mert / Gabriel / Nacho (2
of the three) Ramsey Cazorla Coquelin Sanchez Özil Giroud and Ighalo (ighalo replaces Bellerin bcos he can't
play CB) Or... Cech (usual
defence) Usual midfield minus one
of: Coquelin / Cazorla / Sanchez / Ramsey / Özil Giroud Ighalo The point is, will Ighalo be more valuable than whoever we would take
out of the starting XI??? And would the partnership with Giroud even work???
We have a clueless manager who, heaven forbid if he did stay would do nothing about the omni - shambles that is the Arsenal
defence — in fact, he would go
out and spend 90 million on a pointless winger who he will
play out of position and destroy the confidence
of.
Yes their GK
played out of his skin and their
defence defended well.
Their
defence is water tight wellbeck will have to
play out of his skin to have any joy... Sanchez..
The midfielder is able to
play out wide or in central
defence, but is most adept to
playing just in front
of the
defence, but has been improving his
play up the pitch this season also.
Also Kos is
out at least for a month so thanks Wenger that you did not replace Verminator, we could have Song back in that same deal and look how he has done in West Ham and can
play also in middle
of defence.
