However, Sibierski has been a revelation this year â $ «scoring 8 goals, often crucial, including 4 in the UEFA Cup and impressing mainly in the second
striker position playing off Obafemi Martins.
Not exact matches

play further and further away from the box in order totouch the ball more, leaving the
striker position for Edi to fill, which was the case several times at the end of 2014 - 15.
The three -
striker system would allow the Blues to
play Pato and Costa together in their natural
positions, while utilising Eden Hazard's goal - scoring ability too.
poor signings and allowing unnecessary sellings of players not based on team needs When Cr7 is not scoring and marcelo and casemiro become
strikers over their main roles in the team... Players
play what coaches tell them especially
positioning and movements... Hard days are ahead with PSG looming..
Sometimes when a
striker does not touch the ball it is because he is
playing his
position correctly and the midfield did not get him the ball.
I see Poldi's best
position as a second
striker, but unfortunately Arsenal doesn't
play a 2 man forward lineup, hence there's no way we can bring the best out of him unless we drastically alter our style of
play.
Even if Walcott and the Ox does fully recovered to
play for Arsenal in December before the winter window reopens, the Boss should still sign a top quality
striker and left winger to reinforce those 2
positions in his squad that are looking exposed right now.
That's why Walcott is asked to
play as a hold up
striker, Ox is supposed to
play off the shoulder of defenders, Podolski had to cover for Gibbs and rarely get in the box, Arteta had to cover the counter attack and pass sideways, and Gabriel has to be a slow, awkward white guy with great
positioning.
And most importantly to mr Wenger
play the dam players in correct
position, lacazette a
striker not a winger
play him to his strength get ur tactics right and if they don't work tweak em ASAP not 70 - 80 mins to late
Perhaps Welbeck is just grateful that Giroud's time out this this season allowed the former Man United
striker the chance to
play in his preferred centre forward
position.
If we had bought the clinical
striker this last transfer window,
played Ozil in his best
position then perhaps Ozil would get back to his best.
AND, the shining light for me is that at last Wenger
played Özil in his best
position, just behind the
striker.
Wenger has no tactics,
plays his favourite players over better players, gives long term contracts to average and injury prone players, hates strong physical players,
plays players out of
position, always looking for excuse like refrees and saying other teams
played more in pre season, does nt spend money on players required like if we need
strikers he will buy CAM, waits for other teams to buy top players and signs average on deadline day, calls accident when we lose, talks cohesion and mental strength when we beat terrible teams and win mickey mouse trophy like Asia cup and community shield.
With United thus far often having to resort to
playing strikers Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial in wide
positions, Perisic could be the final piece in Mourinho's team looking to challenge for the title this year.
I don't want to say this, but in the interest of Arsenal's Ucl success over Barca, I want to say, if the Ucl attacking quality of Barcelona's 4 players of, Suarez, Messi, Neymar and Rakitic will
play for Barca against Arsenal in both 2 legged ties, the Boss MUST consider the possibility of upgrading the Arsenal's 2 CBs & DM
position with 2 or 3 top quality new additions of a CB, DM and a
striker to face Barca and knock them out of this round of 8 fixtures.
This constant experimentation of Gunners in the
striker and the wing
positions has unbalanced the Gunners
playing in their recent games.
Wenger will keep
playing Sanchez as a
striker until he starts banging in the goals in that
position just to prove his stubborn point!?
Campbell
plays as a
striker for his national team and that is his natural
position, howver he is versatile as can also
play in the flanks.
We are ok - ish on the LB department and more than good on the RB dept. Probably one
striker and a DM will be the buys of the summer although with Cazorla
playing like a beast in deeper
position I am not sure we should buy everything.
He does nt believe in the CDM
position, he never changes tactics and when he did this season its been this stupid 4141 where everyone
plays out of
position, he thinks were fine on
strikers....
(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the teams in the premiership and those we could face in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to have a manager who can prepare this squad for this eventuality and have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I have seen nothing in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he would replace a small, pacy
striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager in the world that
plays more players out of their natural
positions (square peg in a round hole)
He can
play as a
striker but it's not his best
position, he's just not good enough and he's been with us long enough to know we should be looking for better options rather than throwing # 140k a week at him.
Only the
striker position he can
play replacing Giroud, which is again a major call.
It's no secrete we need a man with pace to
play in between and run off the defenders making use of our world class A / M (ozil / Santi) if I look who us available in the
striker position the one that stands out is lacazette, he has similar qualities to remy, but has a few more tricks..
That means we lose the pace of Danny Welbeck up front, but that can be compensated by
playing the pacy Alexis and Oxlade - Chamberlain in the wide attacking
positions, with Cazorla creating chances for them and linking up with the big French
striker.
The Gunners are believed to be actively seeking a
striker to add to their options this summer, but with a wealth of players available to
play in the midfield and advanced
positions, some players will not be guaranteed the amount of football they would have wished.
he rightly deserve that number 10
position behind the
striker, which actually allows this arsenal team to
play better, but it will be up to our RIDICULous manager.
Instead of moving players out of
position to accommodate a new arrival how about applying some tactical nous and allowing two talented players to both
play as
strikers.The best teams of 1998 - 2004 had a number of different
strikers playing off the genius of Dennis Bergkamp.We had pace, movement and power.Although I would not put Ozil in Bergkamps class he is talented enough to pull the strings with other playmakers such as Jack and Mikki in the side in a 442.
-- Wilshere:
Plays better in a deeper central midfield
position, than
playing behind a
striker, like Cazorla.
His
position is
playing of the shoulder of the
striker.
Anderson is an extremely talented 24 - year - old who can either
play in a wide
position or also a central
position just behind the
strikers.
1) On the pitch: - we always start 3 -4-3 but always switch back to a back 4... it isn't tactical as we look bad in both - Bellerin playibg LWB when you have the best in the bundesliga last season on the bench - Welbeck
playing the striker role when he can do everything but score when you have Lacazette a record signing on the - Monreal in back 3 when you have Kostafi who can flank Per in the middle protecting him against pace as well as having a commending figure and - Telling Xhaka to not play as a 3rd offensive player when Ramsey dashes - Playing a guy in Ox so out of position and persisting with him over preseason as if he would be there for years when it is clear he doesn't want to play for us (his case is a wei

Playing a guy in Ox so out of
position and persisting with him over preseason as if he would be there for years when it is clear he doesn't want to
play for us (his case is a weird one)
If Wenger could sign a couple of big name players who
play their football in similar
positions, such as the Leicester and Algeria attacking star Riyad Mahrez and the Lyon and France
striker Alexandre Lacazette, would you be happy to see Walcott and Giroud join the Hammers or should we hang on to one or both as well?
In a nutshell, an extremely versatile
striker and deadly when
played in his natural
position.
Forget about another
striker... France Football again confirmed that Wenger won't bring anybody as Welbeck and Walcott are more than enough in case Giroud does not perform (Sanchez could be use also... Arshavin
played at the
position too, so nothing is impossible with the «deluded one»).
Arsenal currently have 2
positions which are weak links on the pitch
striker (Giroud n walcott) n right wing (rambo) all 3 are in the wenger «faves list» so regardless of how they
play are more less undroppable.
With Chambers and Debuchy arguably not of a higher quality than Jenkinson and Sagna, it leaves Wenger only improving in quality through a substitute goalkeeper and a
striker who he is currently
playing out of
position on the left wing.
Ozil — obviously this player has some superior skills but his posturing is hard to swallow when things aren't going well... love his link up
play with Sanchez, so just imagine if Wenger gave a shit about the
Striker or right forward
positions... I feel a bit for him because he was liekwise given promises about our direction and they never materialized; that being said he needs to grow up sometimes and find a way to handle the pressure a little better... I wouldn't get carried away about locking him into a much higher wage for any length of time if we aren't planning to properly revamp the current club
I am very upset... We can't score a team fighting for relegation... We definitely need one
striker and a winger... We can't
play santi in deeper
position... We require schniderlin, Pedro and cavani or jovetic.
No man Campbell is a
striker, that is his
position, he can also
play on the wing because he has pace and skillfull but he is a center foward, a better one than Sanogo because
Wenger's philosophy of having players who
play different
positions is seriously flawed, # 10's
play behind the
striker,
strikers play up front, simple.
And another point is them not needing Falcao is Ronaldo who is just one of the world's best
striker playing in LW
position.
He was second fiddle to Zlatan Ibra at PSG, and was forced into
playing in a foreign
position on the RW all season where previously at Napoli and earlier he was bred and groomed as a central
striker.
The continual experiment of Cazorla on the left side of the pitch most be stopped,
play him behind the
striker and let him do his thing, he should have been building his confidence back while Ozil was out in that
position, if you (wenger) wants jack to
play so much, let him
play behind giroud and bench cazorla, but this experiment must stop allow, Campbell, ox or Gnabry to show themselves in that
position, even RYO and COQ would do a much better job on the left side of the park.
We still need a DM and a
striker or winger, even tho we have great young players coming up who
play in that
position (Bielik, gnabry, Iwobi) Lets hope they make the cut.
Yes Danny will definitely go, teams bring three or four
strikers along and with him being capable at
playing different
positions should make him a guarantee.
I assure you that, though Ozil can get back to
playing in his favored
position — behind the
striker — his «disinterest», irrespective of where he
plays, will not bode well for himself or Arsenal.
But Watched him quite a lot over the last 2 seasons,
played mostly on the right wing last season when they had Lewandowski but he's moved into the
striker position and done really well despite Dortmund
playing pretty poorly most of this season.
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!!
Sanchez has the quality to
play in between midfield and the
striker position as well as pace to break beyond the defence.
