What made Foy's disastrous decision even more hard to fathom was the fact that just ten minutes earlier the situation was reversed and Evra fairly won the

When rolled in the usual way (for a draw shot) the bowl will curve toward its heavier
side, more so as it loses momentum, enabling the player, with proper pace and angle, to make it skirt around bowls lying in the way
of the «jack» — the smaller object
ball — or tap an opponent's bowl out
of a cluster around the jack.
«With Hector, he's such an attack - minded full back, very good on the

when to drop off — then he is going to be a top, top full back.

However, Wilshere is clearly adding discipline, awareness, tackling and a great long range passing ability to his game and it might be a good idea for the Gunners to make use

I have watched Ospina, his recovery is average

The OXs natural abilities really suites the RWB role and that will help him hide his main shortcoming which is his lousy final

side of the pitch.
Let's face it goalkeepers tend to march to the beat
of a different drum and Szczesny certainly fell into that category, but most
of his antics were relatively harmless and simply reflected a certain level
of immaturity that isn't uncommon for someone thrust into the limelight at such a young age... lord knows we've seen that happen with numerous players throughout the years and very few were ever banished for such behaviour... the only on - field action that drove me crazy was his inability to take a deep breath and not try to rush the play with an ill - timed throw at certain points in the game
when common sense suggested holding the
ball and slowing things down... the fact that he continued to do this probably had a lot to do with the glaring lack
of coaching time spent with the goalkeepers... ultimately he made the fateful decision to take his frustrations out into the public sphere and paid dearly for it... in the end, his services were wanted by several
of the best Italian squads, which is significant considering the historical importance placed on the defensive
side of the
ball in Serie A... all I know is that if someone asked me to pick the most athletically gifted goalkeeper we have had in our squad since the arrival
of Wenger, without hesitation, he would be my pick and for that reason his departure is more than a little disappointing... what else is new though
Swansea City star Gylfi Sigurdsson had already bagged a penalty

Know that the
ball you lose to the opponents puts pressure to your team:
When Iwobi plays, we did not have to more defending than is usual from his
side of the pitch, because more often he is not dispossessed and passes the
ball well.
But most
of you forget that was
when we had Cazorla in the
side, without him our midfield has no sense
of cohesion, ever since his injury we've struggled to score freely and keep possession
of the
ball.
now
when this happens, we can not build up play from the back and that becomes a problem.but with OLIVER WE HAVE THE OPTION
OF BEING DIRECT (LONG
BALLS TO OUR FRONT LINE, SINCE WE VE BEEN CLOSED DOWN ESPECAILLY WITH
SIDES THAT PRESS WELL EG EVERTON, SOUTHAMPTON TOTTNHAM).
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
Laca has a beard - so does Giroud.Other than the fact they are both French there is no comparison.Give this kid (yeah I know he's 26 but that's still young at my age) the service and he will be a top top player.Look at his movement and see how frustrated he gets as the
ball continually goes from
side to
side and backwards.I see a lot
of Ian Wright in this boy but even Wrighty would struggle with the way we are set up and play.
When Sánchez is gone he will become our main man and just watch the difference.Remember those days
when the football was slick and fast?Remember
when we had pace all through the team and had players who knew how to use it?
When we change manager a bring in a coach who gets the best from players by playing to their strength you will see a totally different Lacazette and Arsenal
I was ten
when watching the great Tottenham
side of 1960 - 61 and new without doubt they were the best team I'd ever seen, (apart from the great Real Madrid
of 1960 -RCB- the way they slid the
ball around keeping on the floor and didn't need a grown up to tell me, They were skating the league that year like Manchester City are now and I can still remember sitting on the corner
of a crash barrier at the back
of the North Bank (It's the only way I could see)
when they beat 3 - 2 at Highbury on a hot September day.
When the keeper gets the
ball and walks from one
side of the goal to the other
side to keep the

Don't have much info and knowledge like you people here, but there were few things that I did realise yesterday, lack
of presence
of mind, one instance which I could recall was
when, Ramsey had a chance to pass it to fellow mates and instead he went for the glory and finished on the
side net...... secondly we might say Fabianski made it tough for us...... well
when you have a clear chance to score a goal, how can you hit a
ball straight to a keeper from 15 yards...... I like Ozil but
when an opponent team parks a bus, he becomes less
of a player he is.......
Yes we have improved we have become more aware we have started to show some maturity
when facing the top dogs and that's the difference between us this season and us getting SMASHED by all
of the top teams last season and if you watch football you can see that the city
side are not a patch on their former selves nor Liverpool nor even chelski, we are NOT another 49 unbeaten squad not yet and not for a while until the improvements are made, Yea credit where its due
of course but lets NOT RUN AWAY WITH THE IDEA WE ARE WORLD BEATERS JUST YET EH, AKB's are the reason we'll never improve as a fan base because they can see NO wrong in anything the board or AW does, Im no AOB but I do see the need for self criticism and improvement and at BIGGUN its not a ridiculous statement at all we have improved but they have also been off the
ball and that why we're having a good run.
The likes
of koscielny, coquelin, monreal and ospina have also made a difference, but also wenger has made changes to the attacking
side of the game, players like podolski and sanogo have been moved out as they simply offer little to the team in way
of work rate
when we don't have the
ball.
But ALL game long the refs had it in for us: -
Side Judge MULTIPLE times added yards to placement
of ball: -2 yards on a fair catch PR -1 yard on a fair catch PR - constantly giving them 1/2 -2 yards
when placing
ball after catches (couple 1st downs too)
Yea, where the hell was ozil, yea, busy with his average self, m back again with my ozil analysis
When you play games after games with
side passes and obvious passes, no dribbles, no 1 - 2s, no shots on goal and you keep possession
of the
ball in non-threatening areas and people say you are a world class player, well, he's the poorest world class player I've ever seen, so to say.
Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass
of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends
of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level
when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so
when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best
of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note
of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many
of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out
of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right -
side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss
of Cazorla, who took a lot
of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient
when it came to getting him the
ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk
of games and frankly never looked himself
when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type
of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up
when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments
of greatness undercut by long periods
of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
but squaring a
ball for someone who was wide open that would've been running onto the
ball would've meant a higher chance
of a goal than trying to slide it past the keepers left
when you're already on the left
side.
When i see him attacking the
ball and fending off rough contact or him finishing off chances that Bergkamp would be proud
of i think yeh hes a beast nice one Oli... but then he has that other
side.
His lack
of urgency and ability on the
ball also leads to a slow and obvious build up from the back that often lets teams reassemble even
when the aim is to shift them
side to
side.
O'Brien accepted San Antonio's contention that
when Laker Guard Norm Nixon faked the second
of two free - throw attempts and caused players from both
sides to enter the foul lane prematurely, Referee Jack Madden incorrectly called a double lane violation and a jump
ball.
There are some serious threats on the offensive
side of the
ball especially
when they add Barkley in the mix.
No worry though, as the Colts move to 4 - 0 on the year
when the 40 - year - old Matt Hasselbeck starts, showing some
of that depth on both
sides of the
ball that some doubted Indianapolis possessed.
