Not exact matches
Honestly, his technique and link
play is far below the Arsenal level and even if he would convert a slightly
higher number of chances
then Giroud, he'd offer FAR less creatively and we'd probably create less with him leading the
line.
if Arsene doesn't trust Gabriel
then he needs to find another CB, he should stop
playing Merts against top teams using
high -
line tactics.
Look at ramsey, he can't even have a good pass completion stats and can't control the midfeild and spends most of his time in the opposition box trying to score when he should help defensively and serve as an outlet for the defence and
then playing mertesacker in a
high line defence.
Hopefully Mertesacker doesn't
play, but if he does,
then Wenger shouldn't use the same suicidal
high line.
That's true, but
then again, that was because we were
playing such a
high defensive
line with a defender that couldn't run.
Playing Mertesacker in a
high line Ok, now I'll pre-empt the comments about me bashing Mert but this is once again more about tactics
then bashing a player.
If Giroud starts
then I will bet that Chelsea will
play a
higher def
line until they can get a goal and squash out the space for our game changers to make much of an impact, how - ever I feel more confident that Theo will at least cause Chelsea to defend deeper and as such, force Chelsea to
play with gaps between their def and mid or
play a LOT of players behind the ball and try to hit us on the counter.
Nice article... I used to be one of those staunch Wenger fans through the years... I used to believe he is superior than Sir Alex, because with almost nothing to spend and
playing with kids, he managed to keep us up there every year... I was really caught up with that half season wonder we used to show... In the summer 2013, him or the board (I don't recall) came out and said we are much stable financially and now we can fight with the biggest bullies, I got my hopes
high, I thought we are definitely signing a top striker and DM, that what we need... What happened, only hours before the window closed we managed to sign a top AMF (remember we have our best player for the season 2012 - 2013 was AMF, Cazorla if you remember), I was really depressed seen Giroud leading the
line every match...
then comes winter window, and we were right there top of the table... My friend send me a poster of an elephant on a tree, and on the bottom of it «no one knows how it got there but everybody knows how it will get down»... I told my friend that we are only one decent striker far from the gold... and what happened, we signed an old injured DM on loan... That for me was a completely arrogance and stubbornness cost us the league title... There I completely lost the plot with Wenger... I wish yesterday I was with those who raised that banner... I would write in my banner «Enough talks and philosophy, we need results»
Right now the only weak link in this team is BFG... when will he dropped to benched... everybody knows that he is too slow and everyone exploit that in every single game... but still he keeps on starting the game... i never feel secure with him especially when we are attacking and
play high line... If I was gabriel I would be fuming from inside... cause gabriel is so much better than him but still BFG starts while gabriel always start from the bench... We have enough warnings by now, surely we are not waiting for a Monoco like game... and
then start blaming him... Gabriel has to start, the guy got lot to offer... his mentality his attitude his passion, fire in the belly this guy has to start... and he also can be the leader that this team so badly crying for years now...

Our defensive issues are tactical in my opinion, but at the same time having players like Squillaci doesn't help... but again if he didn't
play in a
high line then he might be alright.
His fellow Swede, physicist Anders Ångström, disputed Arrhenius's theory on the ground that the absorption bands would have saturated well before reaching that level, but what neither Swede knew back
then was that CO2 had more than 30,000 absorption
lines most at strengths insufficient to
play any role until CO2 had reached far
higher than the 6000 ppm of a hundred million years ago.
