Double and triple team them and make anyone else beat you has been tried before, but I've never seeen it executed quite this well, with
role players going deer on the windshield / totaled the car.
The upbeat atmosphere was contagious throughout the Cavs bench as
role players went above their typical role.
Not exact matches
Latshaw says that what keeps her
going is the fact that «we are seeing the same troops returning after multiple deployments [and] it is extremely rewarding for our
role players, managers, and cultural experts who conduct the training to receive positive feedback and know that they've made a difference.»
Absolut said that the game's
players take on the
role of Deadmau5 as he prepares «to
go on an epic night out.»
But what happens when things aren't
going well: when
players make mistakes, teams aren't giving their all, or leaders won't accept the
role that their coach needs them to embrace?
[Update 11:23 AM: In a press release Tuesday morning, Nintendo noted that the length of the rewind depends on the genre of game: «
Players can
go back a few minutes in
role - playing games such as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, while action titles such as Super Mario World offer around 40 seconds, ideal for re-trying short segments of gameplay.»
In EverQuest, one of the most popular multiplayer
role - playing games,
players create their own characters,
go on quests, solve puzzles and kill evil creatures.
Former influential
players going on to have a coaching
role for us are quite a rarity.
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.
Bottom line, if he is angered bench the
players who were not good enough and play those who deserve some game time based on the Southampton game or on games where they had a positive impact: - Take Özil out and play Ox in the hole (he has to understand your the highest paid
player of the club, your given freedom like nobody else and your even seeking even more money with a new contract you can't play like that ever and
go AWOL)- Put Sanchez on the wing or up top but put Welbeck in (Walcott didn't track back near enough for the Alsonso goal)- Iwobi has been bright from the wing let him play there - Xhaka has to
go back in the holding midfield
role and I would take out Coquelin because he could've taken a foul on the hazard's goal.
If Wenger didn't try
players in alt
roles then we wouldn't have had Kolo Toure as a CB and he was the CB along with Campbell who helped us
go unbeaten!
I don't know if Wenger talks to his team before any match, I don't think he even uses any tactics, he doesn't even assign any
player a particular
role, our
players don't track back, they don't slide when a shot wants to be taken, they are easily bullied, he acts like he just submits the team sheet and
goes to the bench to sit down.
must
go - mert, arteta, Jack, theo all on loan must
go as well with all that money plus # 95mln given to spend get Di Maria and 4 - 5 more,1 - 2 for each line, smart and hard working
players, don't have to be exceptional also, should give some
role in the club to Henry and, possibly, Zidane, since he will be available in the summer
If you had chance to look at the heat map for the game you wouldn't be able to say what position /
role AR had been assigned — he played fairly narrow when
going forward and would only
go out wide to drag an opposition
player or to block the opposing FB.
Kelly has proven to be a useful utility
player and Renda still has a chance to carve out a
role going forward, but I think given his career accomplishments thus far, I'll
go with Kelly, a participant at BAWS I and BAWS II.
Many
players come back from that squad for this season, which puts the Bears in the more unfamiliar
role of having to
go wire - to - wire as the state's No. 1 team.
Knox has a long way to
go until he becomes that type of
player, but he's identified the right
role models.
Ozil was very ineffective in that no10
role, he doesn't get in between the lines, hes a good passer but he doesn't
go past
players at will and hes very 1 footed, he doesn't score enough goals to be a no10 in a League or CL winning team, i think we need either Cazorla or maybe Sanchez or even Chamberlain in that
role in seasons to come, Ozil will have to play wide coming in the way Messi did for Barca this season
Is it such a big gamble if we need to create salary space for new
players to let Ozil
go and give Ox and Ramsey a chance to play in the nr 9
roles?
With the Spurs
role players not doing anything, and LMA
gone, that sealed it.
When we were asking Wenger to spend big to buy Lacazette some few seasons back people said he is not proven on the big stage yet and that he was in the French League.Today, we are in a similar situation and we are
going to bid a whooping # 50 for a
player who'll probably be benched if Sanchez stays and take up the leading
role if he leaves.Whrre's the sense in all this?Probably, long term he might be worth it but as of now he ain't.
Since coming to Houston, he's
gone from the last man on the bench to an effective
role player starter.
We'll
go with a potential super
role player like Rabb, who can swing between either front court spot and provide athleticism, rebounding and finishing ability.
It is very hard to criticize our own
players, but I personally was outraged by his behaviour and think that he needs to curb that angry streak or he is just
going to cost Arsenal valuable points in the future, and hardly be a good
role - model to young up - and - coming footballers.
Aside from the goal though, he's been one of, if not the best,
players on the pitch in the last two games, as his all - round technical quality on the ball is making a huge different for Fernando Santos and his men, and he looks like he is
going to relish playing a pivotal
role in Guardiola's side next season and beyond.
With the prices of other strikers being as they currently are, buying in a
player who can learn the CF
role while also adding to the team from out wide would seem the «cheaper» option compared to buying a CF who will displace Giroud or cause Wenger to
go back on his word with Theo.
It's a shame really how people are so plastic over here.We seem to change our views so easily.Why can't people just make up their minds?It's like people don't have stance.As I've been saying and will keep saying we have many good
players but as good as they are they're overrated.We've just compromised as a club.There are problems in every single
role in the team, from defence to attack.Yet these problems will constantly be ignored.Some
players are cleary not good enough but say it and the stats lovers will come out.The main problem wrong with the team is the centre.The other problem is Wenger and his misuse of
players.I for one don't really rate Ramsey - Xhaka partnership in a sense that it's defensively weak with Xhaka not good enough defensively and Ramsey very inconsistent.The only
player excellent defensively in the centre in Arsenal's team is Coquelin and I think he should be playing though many won'tsee why.Look how easily the balls
went through the midfield.Coquelin should be partnered with another CM in our current team.People shouldn't deceive themselves Xhaka that Xhaka isn't a DM.He's just not good defensively admit it.We need a DM more than a CM in my opinion or a hybrid like Sanches or Jankto.
We're NOT linked now with anyone else and that's a worrying thing in itself, I personally really don't think Walcott is good enough to play that striker
role and I know I'll get roundly «thumbed down» for this but its how I feel about the boy he's good but NOT as good as he thinks he is and it annoys me that theres a possibility that all the toing and froing around his contract may be stopping us from signing a top notch striker (and I DO NT think Martinez is this) I do feel that AW will opt for the cheap and second rate options again and this will also include not buying a striker and putting Walcott in this
role, meanwhile all our rivals will be putting strong established
players into the positions where they need to bull up their squads we are not well known for doing this and its not
going to happen now, which is infuriating as this is the right time to break that mould and
go for it!!
Mertz should never have been our captain in the first place... who has ever heard of a team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership positions from the get -
go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the
players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is what happens when you don't get world - class
players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some
players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other
players off the field or into equally unfamiliar positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former
player of any real consequence has any important
role in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!
We all know its not gonna happen, so just forget it already Sanchez can play a game or two in the
role and Walcot and Campbell flanks Giroud just for two games and OZil will be fine We shud stop worrying about these
players as if they are kids pls..
Woodward joined United with Moyes and basically has the same
role meanwhile we're
going backwards because of Gazidis's inability to land top
players and willingness to satisfy the owner with profits.
On the other hand, if the Cavs think LeBron is leaving regardless, and even if they think he's
going to the Lakers, they've at least been able to extract some helpful
role players from the team that could potentially sign him.
Personally, I'd suggest we
go with option B. However, considering that the number of
players in world football who are fit to play this
role is indeed very limited, the question then is: Where should we look to get this type of
player?
Kansas lost five - star recruit Billy Preston after he
went to play pro ball in Bosnia, and they lost the majority of their starters and other key
role players from last year's team.
All I'm saying is that there will be situations where
players like Cazorla and Wilshere, who are both very good at playing that
role, should be allowed to do so to give the team a sense of variation
going forward.
Carragher says the Belgian is showing his class again at the moment, but that his form has
gone slightly under the radar with so many other
players shining in similar
roles.
However much I can't stand the Pats, they consistently do a good job of not simply
going after the big name prospects (especially in FA) but are able to find unknown or lesser known
players that fit a specific
role and can focus and do a specific job well.
All of the available
players that would fit the two
roles are being snatched up and this means cheap alternatives or nothing at all and this is where I feel that we're heading, I hop Im wrong but Im failing to see where wenger is
going to get these two from.
I would like to see Ozil learn to defend more if he isn't
going to find his scoring boots, learn from Cazorla... It would be an interesting experiment to do, play Cazorla and Ozil as 2 creative B2B
players but I do nt think it will trump Cazorla in a deep lying playmaker
role and Ozil in the ACM
role.
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
Players do have a brain afterall and what Wenger does is encourage them to use it rather than just instruct them like most other managers do, now when it all comes together, we go a whole season unbeaten, when it fails, we go a decade without a trophy all in it is why a large number of former Wenger students and players have gone on to greater things within and beyond football, Even Guardiola took a chunk of his coaching badges under Wenger even after playing under Fergie just before hanging up his boots, Viera went on to a senior role

I still don't understand people's obsession with boxing
players in to a specific
role... The whole «true DM» is a dying breed, even Coquelin is arguably something else considering the advanced positions he takes up often in front of Santi and takes major risks in winning the ball back for us... IMO, the reason Coquelin has had such a successful integration into the first team is that he focussed incredibly hard on the basics of his
role first and foremost before adding other elements to his game (long - balls, driving runs into space, more aggressive ball movement in general) it's not rocket science to tell a
player to curb the attacking side of their game and focus primarily on defence before attack... Nor is it that hard to see that playing in a midfield pairing with either Ramsey or Cazorla is
going to be different as well.
These are very important questions because when things
go wrong on the field of play and we (fans and pundits) formulate our opinions — we do so through the prism of what we see on the field of play — the performance of the
players and the manager — and largely ignore the
role and activities of the money making people who behind the scenes play a huge part in determining what happens on the pitch.
In those moments, you appreciate the
roles and performances of the absentees more but also, surely, there must be a dawning realization that a
player of the calibre of the one missing is not
going to be happy with a «stand in»
role.
Because not only have the Gunners made the Southampton and France international star Morgan Schneiderlin the main transfer target of that central midfield
role, but we have already identified and targeted the
player to
go for in case the recent rumours suggesting that Man United could hijack our move for Schneiderlin come true.
«My
role on the pitch to protect the back four is most important to me because we have a very offensive team that has a lot of
players going forward,»
If you are
going with a 4 -4-2 (be it the common or the diamond formation) one
player whose
role is very much redundant is Santi Cazorla.
let's look at Zidane and our own Vierra — hopefully Henry will get a
role in training and youth development at Arsenal or a
role involving
player development of our 1st team; then we can see how that
goes for a couple of years.
the team has lost urgency the thing most important to the team of highest caliber, here there is no intention to do things of any kind only flamini intentions are clear to take out opposition
player get his customary yellow and monreal's irritation is soon
going to hit the papers.Wenger's verdict «at the moment we are a good team good
players good atmosphere and
players are slowly coming back from injury, monreal is solid CB and he has accepted his
role also flamini is taking the opponents nuts to the cleaners which is very viera like quality which i like also Diaby is ready is 2 months cause the surgeon got bored of opening up him lost a screw inside so therefore fourth place is ours».
One
player who could be set to miss out is Theo Walcott however, who is one of a number of
players vying to play in attacking
roles in the squad, along with Danny Welbeck, who looks certain to
go.
