I don't expect miracles from a backup, but watching him play QB reminds me of those baseball games that go deep into extras and the teams
run out of pitching and end up putting the shortstop on the mound because he pitched a little in high school.
Not exact matches
There is nothing left for us to do but start cheering the Gunners as soon as they come
out on the
pitch and all the way to the end, when Tottenham's unbeaten
run is left in tatters, and the ARSENAL are top
of the League!
And even if he hits it
out of the park I'd still rather
pitch to the next man from a windup than have a man on base and the batter still be the tying
run.
Start laying in the foundations for a new manager now, get the right type
of support and in 12 months time when Wengers contract
runs out we bid him a good farewell and remember the good he done, it gives the club 12 months to make the changes and then we can show any great manager that we mean business on the
pitch and not just off it.
The kid was snuffing
out runs and made a lot
of mileage on the
pitch, I saw him chasing down attackers, slow?
Once the Arsenal team
runs onto the
pitch for any game
of football it is up to the 11 players
out there representing us all to perform and produce the right result, so we can see the logic in laying the blame with these players when things do not go exactly according to plan and the Arsenal suffer the sort
of disappointment that has been all too prevalent this season.
Maybe he singles to right on a
pitch out of the strike zone and starts a six -
run rally.
Sure, other game plans may be more likely to
pitch a shut
out and more likely to make fans happy, but they also
run a higher risk
of getting blown up and letting the score get
out of hand.
There would be a price if the
pitch would be a ball or a strike, a price if the batter would get a hit, or walk or make [an]
out, a price on scoring a
run, etc.,» so called «do they or don't they» bets that rendered the outcome
of the game almost entirely irrelevant.
That belies a concerted effort to avoid exposing his quarterback, giving the QB easy
pitches and catches on downs in which opponents are minding the
run and keeping him
out of hostile third - and - longs.
And two
of Galloway's home
runs,
out of a career total
of more than 2,000, are the closest thing to legend that slow
pitch has to offer.
First thing, when Costa started complaining about Gabriel's flick, Fabregas joined him (you must see his face while complaining), Pedro joined him, and then at the last Ivanovic
ran the length
of the
pitch first to control Costa, then followed Dean until he doesn't gets the red card
out.
But when we're leaving starters in too long, and we have one guy not
pitch for a week while 3 guys get 50 %
of the innings
out the bullpen, and our manager is double switching so much that starters are Pinch
running, and...
Although he gave up only one unearned
run in 5 «Öî innings, Jones
ran out of juice — papaya and otherwise — and Enrique Romo
pitched hitless ball the rest
of the way to get credit for a 2 - 1 win in which Lee Stanton homered.
As soon, as he left the
pitch, it was as if the whole defensive unit
ran out of ideas on how to defend.
He's more likely to win a hoofed ball
out of defence, then he can hold it up and allow the pacey players like Walcott and Alexis to sprint forward — they can
run a lot faster when they don't have to take the ball with them up the
pitch.
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
wow are we sterile up top, goals need to come from defense again, ozil & cech were great, mert once again taking the brunt
of bad comments meanwhile a clean sheet and did nothing wrong, open goal that was saved was kos
out of position and monreal caught up the
pitch too high, giroud has great ball skills, issue is his position on the
pitch, watched the match again focused on giroud, he tends to camp behind the defender from the ball, this only works when you have the quickness to break, he does nt, I have screen shots where ozil is 25 yrds farther up the
pitch then giroud, thisis the problem, he is rendered useless unless ozil holds up, and thats not ozils strength, thus very few sog's from giroud on the
run, when giroud gets lucky w space in front
of the defender, he is lethal, but needs to get into that space,
He went 23 — 4 with a 2.07 ERA, won the
pitching triple crown (wins, ERA and strikeouts), set a major league record with 13.2 strikeouts per nine innings, did not allow a home
run in any
of the 293 at bats against him with a runner on, permitted only three leadoff walks to score (he walked the first batter only six times in 213 1/3 innings) and struck
out 37 %
of all batters he faced.
I said experiment because I am not sure how their chemistry would work
out on the
pitch as we do not see them everyday in training... for example I am not sure if Neny can play the defensive role as effectively as Coq, but since Coq is not performing at the level we usually expect
of him anyway, I would pun for Neny there for now... Based on what I have seen so far, I would say Neny defensive game would be based on covering and interceptions rather than going in strongly for tackles like Coq but the plus is he
runs and covers more ground than Flamini, and his movement and ball distribution is definitely better than both Flamini and Coq.
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
Friends say that Moore was haunted by memories

Arsenal should see

players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit
of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part
of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best
out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking
of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case
of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best
of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being
run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil
of any responsibility for his failures on the
pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind
of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version
of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the
pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much
of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club
of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
He suggested that the old system

Grade inflation is probably real, but those stats aren't particularly meaningful on a single game basis, which is why I try to look at things like how the
runs scored, the wildness
of the
outing, velocity,
pitch make - up, etc..
which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club and country in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid
of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential
of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future
of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany
of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as on the
pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which
runs counter to the thoughts in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread
out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind
of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring
of the football universe... think
of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure
of monumental proportions... only if you cared,
of course
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
It's surprising their record is even that good, as they've been outscored by 42

run out a lineup full

After the excitement
of seeing Kooz end the All - Star Game by fanning Yaz, however, my attention began to drift away from New York and back to the Bay Area, where the Giants were enjoying their own phenomenal

Definitely this site is

When playing a team that sets up as Swansea did, Liverpool should not focus on creating central overloads, through under or overlapping
runs, which is extremely difficult with such a large volume
of players covering such a small region on the
pitch, instead, they should be doing this i.e. creating numerical overloads, or throughballs into those unoccupied regions
out wide.

Even in the Udinese game, when he gave a broadly satisfactory performance given it was his first
outing, he had the embarrassment
of Bacary Sagna offering to swap sides (when he came on as a replacement for Gibbs, Sagna came
running across the
pitch suggesting that Carl might prefer to move across to his favoured right - back position).
Walcott is fast and will be the best in the world if he continiously works on the way he handles the ball, as well as Nasri who on the other hand do nt really have a speedy
run but very compact on the way he moves on the
pitch and fast enough when he dribbles.But for the two lads to be compared with Rosicky, Pires, Hleb and bergkamp is still a bit
of a question.Arshavin is one
of these players who plays like Rosicky or Hleb but has got lil bit more quality such as: more goal minded, more agressive, and more intelligent.We really need Arshavin, not only to get trophies but to get our beautifull play back in the game again.Cant wait to see Walcott and especially Fab back again.I beleive many Fans
out there are dreamin to see this line up = Sagna - Gallas - Djourou - Clichy Toure Walcott - Fab — Rosicky Arsha Ade
