His aerial ability and link up play is very vital for
the team attacking option.
Not exact matches
Klopp's
teams have always played a high tempo game and will again today so i suspect posession will come and go easily both ways and for this reason i would go with Iwobi for a more
attacking option and use campbell if needed to help protect a lead later in the game.
With the likes of Hector Bellerin, Isaac Hayden and Semi Ajayi already knocking on the door of the Arsenal first
team defence, as well as some excellent midfield and
attacking options like Chuba Akpom, Benik Afobe, Gedion Zelalem, Daniel Crowley coming through, Jonkers and his colleague have a great chance of taking the academy on to the next level as the former head Liam Brady challenged them to do.
With Giroud against better
teams we don't really have the
option to play on the counter
attack which has become part of the modern game.
Kos and a quicker centre back would be a better
option for a
team who rely on their fb's joining the
attacks, more importantly though a cdm
a perfect description of walcott... there are so many better
options... the whippet another player who couldnt take us beyond forth place greatness... that said starlng for 50m is silly... and again there are definitely better players out there in terms of
attacking options... might get 20m for walcott (though realistically under 18m)... so sell and take a punt on dyabla or go for drexler or make a bid for reus... all make us a better
team
Uhh guessing this is a question from football retards exam night... We have one quality forward (currently off form) two decent strikers who can deliver in bursts (but probably wouldn't make the bench of most of rival top 10 european clubs we aspire to match) and three hugely overrated wing players who should be nowhere near starting in a
team aspiring for top honours at home and abroad... Conclusion we need at least 3 new
attacking options in the summer....
In addition, Mhky might not be on the same level with Sanshit... but he is well above all the wing forwards we have in the
team at the moment (including Ozil whenever he is deployed on the wing), just imagine an
attack line of Laca, Auba and Mhky with Ozil providing all the assists, you can bet you luch that Arsenal will be a handfull for any
team to handle and less predictable with fresher
options coming off the bench to maintain the pressure (Iwobi, Welbeck and co).
Jose Fonte, Ryan Bertrand & Nathaniel Clyne have been added to fantasy football
teams across the land as the side not only looks rock solid defensivly but also has plenty of
attacking options.
Never a good sign... But I think this is a massive test for giroud today... Still think we should win by two goals but it's not a
team that will win top honours... Sanchez back wilshere back improves but still a quality
attacking option short... And competition for DM
PSG have no shortage of
attacking options at their disposal and Di Maria is likely to find himself out of the first -
team for periods this year as he competes with the likes of Julian Draxler and Neymar.
If there's space for an
attacking option, why go for someone that can't get into the Napoli first
team?
the cheese eating surrender monkey has screwed up again we all know that now so we have to hope to get our real quality players performing to full potential that is ozil sanchez wishere carzola... i am not sure there is a combo with all four and at this moment wilshere and sanchez are the only ones looking pretty decent and as wellbeck needs to be integrated those positions are settled... i am a big ozil fan and really believe wenger is failing to get best out of him by playing him out of position so cant we play some kind of diamond with him at the top feeding to a front line of sanchez and wellbeck... for me neither flamini nor arteta add anything to the
team so i think playing to
attacking strengths is the only
option right now... but its really a ridiculous state of affairs we have been left in... throwing caution to the wind i would go for
its ok with the small
teams but not with the bigger
teams who can have many
attacking options.
Lastly when
teams defend the 18 yard box the only
attacking options are crosses from the byline or working space for shots from the edge of the box.
But to repeat this was the reserve
team of a championship side... basically a league one outfit... Arsenal are the seventh richest club on planet... There are no excuses... In any event the problem was not their parking the bus but our hapless
attacking options..
Football like life is uncertain... What is certain however is that following the same failed strategy year after year and expecting a different result is a sign of ineptitude if not madness... Our best 11 ain't up to it largely because it doesn't threaten and unthreatened
teams also mean there is more pressure on our defence as well... So a bit of tinkering in the middle of park ain't going to deliver titles that is for sure... Draxler plus a mobile striker is needed... So unless the idiote grenouille is willing to shelve out 80m can kiss titles goodbye now... He can recover 30 - 40m with obvious sales of mediocre
attacking options so not too onerous but at this rate it's déjà vu all over again
Just because he is better than alternatives right now but welbeck might work if he comes back stronger... And ozil behind them... Wenger's refusal to invest in a quality
attacking option in summer will come back to haunt us but for sure iwobi will have to put out on loan at Xmas to a championship
team as he doesn't have the basics down yet
the difference now is that with the new additions we have so many different
options of
attack its crazy and must be a worry to other
teams on how to defend even if they park two double decker buses,
With the
attacking options both
teams have, to watch that only makes me thaink God I support Arsenal.
we still need an
attacking option at their level a DM to boss more challenging
teams and it looks like a left back if press reports are to be believed... 3rd place and cup means wenger deserves to continue but he needs to strengthen to compete with the
teams that will be the real competitition next season
For fullbacks want to see bellerin and Gibbs bcse better
attacking options don't trust mert against any quick
team so have to mix and match other positions in light of opposition... If we can keep in hunt til December might get some support in window for an EPL run in....
Penalty Kick: Following a major law violation, the
attacking team, if in range, has the
option to «kick for points.»
Top
teams have at least two and usually three world class
attacking options we have one..
10 years is enough thank you... Should have been sold two years ago before his bubble burst and other
teams realised his true worth... Not even lpool would be interested now... Sell him to whoever will take him at 140 grand a week and bring in a quality
attacking option..
He can play in central midfield, behind the striker or on either flank, giving the
team more
options in
attack and his energy will surely give the
team more dynamism going forward.
Who knows... what is for sure is that we have to play way better than in any of games so far... they have gaps in defence and have lost two serious
attacking options so I hope we are
attack minded...
team almost picks itself... Reluctantly would say Walcott over giroud with ozil playing behind....
No matter how you slice it, you can't run an uptempo offence with Giroud on the pitch and that means sideways soccer and an over-reliance on crosses into the box, thereby negating many of the very reasons Lacazette was on your radar in the first place... we simply aren't clinical enough from wide positions to continue with that approach, which is why many fans have been clamoring for a viable alternative to Giroud for several years... once again this isn't an
attack on Giroud, he clearly has some tangible skills, but his mere presence on the pitch greatly impacts your tactical
options... Giroud's weaknesses are simply highlighted by the way in which our offence now moves in a more horizontal than vertical manner, which allows most
teams ample time to regroup defensively before a scoring opportunity even arises... a player of Ibra's or Benzema's ilk would have been far more effective as they had size, speed and the first touch capabilities required to for intricate link - up play... once again square peg in a round hole
Not many
teams in Europe are blessed with these
attacking options and still having a bench like they do....
This is very interesting.I look at the number of striking
options in our
team and i wonder how Wenger will be signing a cf.However as i keep saying a cf is a need not a want.And needs are more important than wants.We have needed a World class cf since Robin Van P. Left.Just look at the feeling you get when you have a world class goalkeeper e.g Cech in the
team.You feel relieved you know why?Its because the goalkeeper is very reliable, very talented and consistent.Imagine the feeling you would have when having a world class cf in the
team.You feel very relieved you know why?its because the cf is very consistent, is super talented, will at most times finish off chances and will mostly create moments of magic.Arsenal need a world class cf so as to have that sense of reliability and to not put too much pressure on the midfield to always create chances for them.We neeed that consistency infront of goal to excel.Right now arsenal's centre forwards are very inconsistent, unreliable at most times and are not very clinical.We need a world class striker so that at least if the
team is not performing he can take control and do something out of nothing.You need to understand the benefits of having a world class cf its not just about goals or talent but about being a leader of the
attack, a strong scoring mentality and also the will to be consistent.World class cf's give your
attack the ish factor.
Yes we have
attacking options on the wings (sanchez) and in CAM and Giroud is doing an admirable job and Walcott could do a job down the middle but if we want to win more games and finish top, as well as having goals from the rest of the
team we need a demon who will bang in 25 - 30 goals for our goal difference and to pounce when it's tight and that 1 chance falls your way.
The 20 year old has netted eight goals in 14 domestic league appearances, of which half were coming from the bench, and his record for the Under 21 national
team has been equally prolific and Rodgers is keen to bring in the youngster as he seeks to strengthen his
attacking options whilst also planning for the future.
So if you're going to do that, why not take BYU, install a devastating
option - based rushing
attack and kick everyone's ass with your dreadlocked QB and your
team full of five - stars?
Chelsea, however, have plenty of other top quality
attacking midfield
options on the books at Stamford Bridge at the moment and it is hard to see where Firmino would fit into Jose Mourinho's first -
team plans.
COMING OFF a 2004 season in which his
team went 2 — 8 and his offensive players weren't fully committed to the triple
option, coach Alex Jacobson of Jordan High (Sandy, Utah) decided to switch to a spread passing
attack.
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...
we need two world class
attacking options to compete with the best at home and in europe next season... giroud, walcott, ox iwobi, campbell do not provide that in any combo... more important for me than anything else... if we repeat defensive stats of last season and add the kind of goal tally a top
team needs we will be there or there abouts... that said i would like mert to leave and an alternative found just not a priority
However,
Team Audley had picked up steam during the day as they built chemistry and honed a sharp set of
attacking options..
do nt get ozil on the bench... his euros finished 7 weeks ago... or is it just another excuse to give walcott a chance to demonstrate his mediocrity... anyway a better
team than last weekend but still vulnerable to pace of their
attacking options
Should stop worrying about left back and bring in quality
attacking option... If isco is available should get him Sanchez giroud / welbeck isco ozil should be ok to keep us there or thereabouts... With Campbell as back up... ox on loan Walcott sold to some Middle East
team with more money than sense... Or test Bilbao on the Williams kid suspect they might take 25 even with his buy out clause upped... need something... We r 2 points above spurs right now with a much poorer goal difference
Kept a clean - sheet against Leicester and were lacking a lot of our first -
team options in
attack, including Mesut who's an undoubted starter and glues our midfield and front three like no other...
He gives us a different
attacking option like no one else does in a
team and just having him on the pitch makes defenders scared!
Secondly, i know its difficult to keep Walcott offside for 90 mins, but highline n pressing is d only
option that will enable the oppposing
team attack also, else dey will just be undet relentless pressure and wont b able to get out of dia half or eighteen yard box even.
Another nut job... I don't watch highlights... A below par man city were comfortable winners against a shapeless
team with no ability to control the game from the middle but enjoyed a brief revival when the other nut job paid around 8m for his managerial services decided he might try one of his best
attacking options instead of the flapping teenager he put on from the start....
Although it would be amazing if the 18 - year old forward could stay in the French capital and get playing time alongside some of the game's greats, he appears ready to play serious first -
team minutes and going on loan is his best
option, especially given the incredible
attacking talent PSG already has and will likely add to this summer.
If you feel the other
option, the one we have seen recently, that we have a prolific
attacking team that can adapt its type of play, at times even surrendering the possession and passing football stats to a
team like Munich, but still remain as competitive and dangerous as them in head to head games, then are we where we need to be (albeit possibly with a couple of upgrades and additions in certain positions)?
While Arsenal bounced back with victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday, Sky Sports pundit Nicholas believes his former
team can still strengthen in the middle of the park and add some stardust to their
attacking options.
His partnership with Lionel Messi was the stuff of dreams, and with Xavi out of the line - up, it was Alves who served as the safe
option and arguably the most integral part of the
team as the link between defense and
attack.
Christian Wilhelmsson's impact on the
team's wide play is visible in the heat chart below as he gave Sweden an
option in the second half with his
attacking play, increasing the «action» on this area on the pitch by over 10 % from the first half, however the right hand side still remained largely unused.
To balance the
team he needs to use a more
attack minded right wingback who could support the
team in the
attacking third and give good passing
options for the likes of Messi and Dybala to use.
