Not exact matches
goodness i can't believe it people will
still defend him.You know something when Giroud misses many chances like at Monaco i did not criticize him even based
on that you know why?its because he has always not been clinical.The only way a team can improve is by indentifying its problems and solving them.Arsenal has Giroud as the main cf and Welbeck as backup to him.Giroud has done well scoring some
goals some too important but collectively he does more harm than good.Do not use moments to judge a player judge him based
on content.Giroud does not excel in many games than he excels in games.As a main cf you need to be consistent.I see people here saying Giroud can not dribble he cant do this he cant do that but its a bit crazy to criticize him for that because every player has his own style.Giroud limitations as a player costs arsenal and will cost us a lot.Most importantly his poor finishing which has cost us several times.Not good enough.His style of play is ok for us but a striker who can take
on players and run behind defences very well would make us very strong and also should be clinical.For Welbeck he needs to works
on his finishing and composure by doing the basic things right.He rushes infront of
goal too much.For now he is just above average.However he can excel if he works
on improving.Giroud and Welbeck will always be a pain in arsenal's neck for most part.Some will call me stupid but hey at least i want to analyze the problem.People may support Giroud or Welbeck to lead the
line next season but as the saying goes if you fool me once shame
on you but if you fool me twice shame
on me.Will you let Giroud and Welbeck fool you again?
But they
still have loads of offensive weapons, and now that Mike McCarthy is no longer calling the plays they might be more likely to go for it
on fourth - and -
goal from the «bee's wanger» yard
line.
Still, the Otters grind out the 2 - 1 win and McDavid assists
on both
goals, which are scored by Dylan Strome, the Otter's second
line center and a projected top - 10 draft pick in next year's draft.
Mertesacker watched
on As Muller took a shot for the second
goal after a clumsy clearance from Debuchy, setting an offside trap in your own box was silly and when Alaba dispossessed Santi, why was Coquelin
still ball watching, although Cech was a bit off his
line.
Giroud is a proven
goal scorer although the jury is
still open
on his ability to lead the
line or take the performances to an altogether new level.
pls do well to go through the rules and watch more games from all over Europe a foul in a counterattacking situation
on an opponent who is miles away from
goal (in this case not even past the half -
line) with one or more players
still left to beat is a Yellow Card offense, Never a red card.
Lets not act like we can easily beat wahsington, they had an entire O -
line injured last season and we
still almost lost to them
on the road if not for a blocked field
goal.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that
still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs
on a position - by - position basis... in
goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved
on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people
still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders
on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed
on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building
on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence
on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time
on the training table as
on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought
on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the
line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger
on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
There is
still over 20 minutes for the Swans to get something from the match, and you can feel them growing in confidence, and two minutes after their
goal, Xhaka once again piles the pressure
on us by getting a red card for a deliberate tackle
on the half - way
line.
RvP was and is
still great hanging
on the offside
line and through that right timing he has scored lots of
goals.
The Hammers
still provided their own threats
on United's
goal and in one attempted header by Carroll it took a
goal line clearance by Rashford to save a certain
goal.
Giroud is
still getting through an incredible amount of work for the team leading the
line on his own, but he needs a
goal.
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
I am with you
on that Pablo, in theory we should have 75 — 80 mill to spend, I wouldn't put Zabaletta in the 2 or 3 quality players, he is decent offensively but plays in a team that rarely has to defend, Moses looks decent doing that at Chelsea, all too often Byram has been exposed by not having any defensive assistance if we sign him will be interesting to see how he is defensively because he will be tested in our team, Batshuayi would be a quality addition but he is
still only a reserve for Chelski and I don't think he could do what Costa has for them or for us, imo we would
still need another striker to lead the
line, maybe Josh King if the rumours are true, what hasn't been mentioned too much is the left wing slots, none of ours are particulary great most of them seem to prefer the right side, if we don't go for Nolito maybe have a punt
on Grosicki from Hull, we were interested in him previously and he is a very quick player that can create and score
goals.
Much like the bears back in February, the bulls are
on the
goal line, but
still need the final push to break us out of the 300 point SPX trading range.
It is also important to note that harvesting can be sustainable under a target - species - focused
goal and
still have adverse effects
on nontarget biodiversity, which would need to be compensated under another part of the overall framework (e.g., to address the negative impact of leatherback turtle bycatch from long -
line fishing; table 3).
