6th woman for the Irish # 0 Milan Tuttle, is out
there playing her game by getting the offensive boards and giving her team extra possessions — and also showing no fear with her handles running the point.
Not exact matches
And he got
there by playing the long
game and
by showing up consistently in his business without letting it interfere with his life.
They lost
by nineteen points and
played from behind the entire
game,
there were zero lead changes.
I want people to know when they see me
play that something is different, that I
play for something different, and whether I'm talking about it [or not], I just hope
by the way I carry myself and
by the way I
play the
game, they can see
there's something different about that guy.
I might add that
play is often governed
by rules, either explicit (as in
game) or implicit (
there are rules of impersonation, for example) and that it often involves a test or contest.11
Since he was ineligible to
play in
games until the next season, he was raring to go
by the time that opening
game arrived; he scored 24 points that night as the Tar Babies beat Virginia, with me up
there in the rafters cheering them on.
But seeing our current strikers got written off so easily
by fan just piss me off Giroud is not
there with Aguero, Rooney, Costa — But I take him over Dzeko, Remy, Falcao (at MU last season) Walcott may or may not be the answer, we don't know yet, the last few
games look very promising — writing him off as not be able to
play as Center Forward or can not hit the 20 + goals per season now is premature.
I also get what you're talking about in terms of Dotson's pay per
game that he
plays in... but my concern
there is more that as of right now it looks like the odds are very good that we'll have to
play Dotson's backup for a good chunk of the season, and I don't know if «x»
games by Dotson are worth «y»
games by Wester or whoever we have backing Dotson up.
People expect him to be at the level he was at
by playing 1
game here and
there.
This is simple a very intelligent child can solve this problem.Firstly today our keeper was very poor however i know he will come good.
By the way why is Paulista no getting his chance.What i have observed about arsenal since we signed Mertesacker from day one and since he started
playing is that Mertesacker hardly gets involved you will usually see him a few times because he does not want to get caught out.e has always been a weak link in the defence even in his greatest performances here.When i see us
playing with a high line and he is
there i always laugh.It is just a mistake waiting to happen and i can tell u that it will happen again this season.Secondly why is Ramsey Cazorla and Ozil
playing in the same line - up in a 4 -5-1 formation.That is just not right though it will win you some matches due to individual brilliance.It wont work at all.Lastly the least i say about Giroud the better i am not judging him on one game.One would imagine if he was not french and like chinese will he be getting these chances under Wenger.To me he will always be an average player and i will stand
by my word even if he has good
games.
There are a few teams trailing them
by 2
games a piece with two to
play so Team Goldin still needs a W to lock up the # 7 spot..
The reality is that the Warriors can win 64
games simply
by showing up to the arena on time, and
there is little allure to
playing for regular - season glory.
Come the other year when Arsenal went the whole season without a defeat in the Premier League, Barcelona were attracted
by Marc Overmas and Emmanue Petti, the two joined Barcelona, they
played few
games, and sometime on the bench, as a result Emmanue Petti decided to go back to England and joined New - Castle and always regret leaving Arsenal, then the other year it was Alexander Hleb, he was the best dribller in Arsenal team, he went again to Barcelona, he was never given some
games, I think he only
played few
games as a sub, and his carrier was destroyed
by Barcelona, then come Henry, he again went to Barcelona, he
played some
games but not like he used to do at Arsenal, he was not looking like a star player anymore, he decided to go to America, then
there was Fabrigas, he joined Barcelona again, since he was one of their juniors, I think he
played for two seasons, and supporter used to booing him, he decided to come back to Arsenal,
by then Arsenal had already resplaced him with Ozil, and he joined Chelsea, then come Alexander Song, he pushed to go to Barcelona, he was always on the banch, and never been on first eleven, then he ended up regreting joing Barcelona, and wanted to go back to Arsenal, but normally Wenger do not take players who pushed themselves to be out of Arsenal, lastly
there was Vermuleen, he went to Barcelona and ended up not
playing at all but when
playing for Arsenal they used to be star players.
As noted
by ESPN FC, he arrived in a # 30m deal from Roma in 2014, and
there have been murmurs that the 25 - year - old may have
played his last
game for the club.
or simply trying to prove us all wrong again
by showing that he could
play just about anybody anywhere and win a
game on the road against a top opponent; something he hasn't done in quite some time... regardless of the reasons,
there is simply no excuse for the goings - on at this club... unfortunately it's unlikely that any real change will come without a dedicated effort on the part of those that feed the beast... our absentee landlord doesn't invest his own money into this club, so in order to force out Kroenke, Wenger and whatever other vermin currently haunt our hallowed halls we need to hit him where it really hurts... continually filling «his» stadium and the constant buying of endless merchandise, like one of the 58 different jerseys available over the last few years, makes us the greatest enablers of all time... have we no self - respect?
There is an average of 60
games a season for Arsenal so even
by your figures, he only gets to
play once every 2/3
games.
Our player of the season so far?Certainly the most consistent.JACK AND OZIL CONTRACTS - just get them signed up for F *** S SAKE.Jack doesn't want to go anywhere and Ozil will have his choice of big clubs to choose from if allowed to be able to go on a free.How about giving out a statement of our ambitions (yeah right) and show were prepared to pay whatever it takes (up to the point of being ridiculous) to SIGN the best and KEEP the best» These two are the best we have so get them sorted early to send out a message of how serious we intend to be.AUBAMEYANG - So what if he has a contract.So did Sanchez.Offer the right money to Dortmund and the player and he will be ours.What is
there to question over this deal?He is a proven goalscorer.We have just lost one.Get the deal done.GIROUD - Get rid of him to Dortmund if they want him either
by selling or if it sweetens the deal just loan him till the end of the season.He was a back up when Sanchez was here and will be on the mix of back ups if Auba signs.He has a World Cup squad to fight for just to be considered so needs to be
playing every week.We do not need him if Auba signs and would demand better than him if the deal fails to happen.Just get rid.JONNY EVANS - I'm not sure.Agree Kos needs nursing through
games and we do not have consistent performers to come in if he is injured or rested mainly due to both Chambers and Holdimg not progressing through as much as we first thought and hoped for.Gooners have always been patient and supportive of the youngsters as they have come through but question marks to the whole coaching staff as to why these two seem to have stalled as much as they have done.Steve Bould - What do you do?You should be ashamed.
As reported
by Arsenal.com the boss went into more detail as to why Ramsey is still not fit to
play and it appears that although he is no longer carrying the hamstring injury picked up in the first
game of the season against Liverpool, the match fitness is not
there and so Wenger is going to be patient and make sure that he is fully ready and not rush him back.
Do you remember when Danny Welbeck scored hatrick in the CL
by then he knew nothing about hold up
play but the time he realized that
there are bunches of fans how likes the
game he changed and tried the «HUP» as well unfortunately OG is the founder and the master of it and Danny found himself
played on the wings.
There are several
games this season where I have been disappointed with the quality of
play by our midfielders.
Merson Wright Robson or anyone who has an axe to grind with Arsenal is at it I don't give a shit what they think I support th club and team in general if they
play shit we have had more success then most teams Thy seem to Laud spuds but the fukers win nothing they won 2 trophies in 30 yeas but I don't see the media others pulling them up on it like we had when we didn't win anything for 10 years
There is definitely an agenda in the media against Arsenal and its sadly spearheaded
by ex Arsenal players So I say when they ubfairly attack the club and our existing players they are fair
game for retribution from the real fans who lives be the club and will support it through thick and thin.
for me i am jst so shocked that arsenal have a set style to dominate and when they are dominated
by munich or barca (
games you expect to be chasing shadows)
there is just no plan B — they do nt hold
there shape they do nt do anythign urgent if anything solidified my want for wenger to go was Wednesdays performance — another year gone and no progress made also the lack of depth — ozil needs to be dropped but who replaces him??? — we cant replace him so we just keep
playing him and hope he comes good again
people who think we ought to win every
game 4 - 0,
playing fluent attacking football are im sorry deluded, it, s been 4
games, yesterday was the first
game back from the break, we lost the first
game, drew the second, won the last 2 what does that say to you?be fair and give the team / manager a chance, i reckon some fans are so blinded
by their anger towards wenger that
there is no satisfying them no matter what!
Arsenal was given one of the weakest team in this CL competition.Everybody expected a win, like
by big margin but the whole match
there was no fight and desire.The
game was so poor at all front last night.City and Man Utd
played their hearts out even though they were defeated.Man Utd players witnessed a horrific injury to their team mate, that will affect their focus and rhythm but they fought with desire to win the
game till the end.City were the better team than Juventus, they
played really good.I have even read an article on Sky that states even though Man utd and City is defeated they still can qualify the group stage, thats how their performance were reassuring.But Arsenal were really poor from starting the
game till end.Zagreb got their first win in CL since 1999, that says it all.
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get
played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that
there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely
games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late
by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart for now
There is also a growing feeling amongst the fans that Arsenal are unlikely to win if Wilshere
plays (not helped
by not winning any of the three
games he has been involved with since his return).
We have to
play WHU 2 days after so resting Chambers to me would be ideal as we know WHU will pump balls into the box and we'll need arial dominance against WHU in our own box, also our fullbacks for that
game will need to make sure they do nt get overloaded
by their fullbacks... Just look at some of the crosses Jenkinson has been putting in (I know Jenkinson would be on our left, Gibbs side, WHU fullbacks have both been doing well though) I feel Chambers would get overloaded on
there left (our right) but Debuchery has the experience to deal with it.
The chances of Chelsea losing 3
games by the end of the season I know is being heavily optimistic, but they are
playing two teams in extremely excellent form (us and United) so
there is an outside chance it could happen.
Only Wenger himself knows what mind
games he's
playing at the moment, but even a fool can tell you that
there's more harm done than good
by keeping hold of a player who doesn't want to remain at the club.
With all the great managers in the league everyone would be forgiven for believing that
there would be allot of classic
games being
played, with some of the best football throughout Europe
by both challengers.
Not to be to brash I can't believe
there is still fans out here that think it matters if
there loud or loyal when we all know Wenger is the master of turning a good team into a mediocre team and loves diminishing
there confidence
by playing them out of position or drop in them if they have a great performance unless it's his favourite players like ozil, Ramsey etc did u not see the emirates in the first
game?
Secondly if we get in a position where we have first choice back 4 all available then i think chambers would get a few
games in the dm position think had it not been for the injuries he would have already
played a few
games in that position
by now think wenger is very keen to get him in
there to see how he does!
Heading into the closing weeks of the last two California high school football seasons,
there weren't many certainties except it was pretty obvious that whichever teams were going to
play in the CIF Division II State Bowl
game, the Northern California team was going to get steamrolled
by a very strong Southern California squad.
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
There will be times to play Jack so he can develop further as Ramsey has, but there are many occasions when we have needed Rosicky's ability to change a game and he has been ignored by We

there are many occasions when we have needed Rosicky's ability to change a
game and he has been ignored
by Wenger.
That way
there would be more urgency in his
game not in midfield where he slows down our attacking
play by having to turn 360 degrees every time he has the ball before passing backwards or sideways.
We can not take any of these
games lightly after tonight's
game against BATE, and I am sure that
there will need to be changes
by the time we facr Newcastle at home in one of our easier
games, but until then I expect Wenger to
play with his strongest side available as we fight to get back into the Top Four.
If Ramsey is in the mood / form to get back and defend with as much passion as he has at going forward then I would choose him to partner Coquelin (Once before he had this for a consistent period and we all got wow'd
by him then), Ramsey has
played a lot of AM roles after the injury and Cazorla being used
there but his last
game shown a good willingness to get back and defend, maybe it can come back in a few more
games playing in the middle.
Cards are part of the
game but lets keep it down boys,
there is a way we can bully teams and be mien aswell and that's
by playing a fast and pressing style (Sanchez or Welbeck style).
Lukas has already been told
by Joachim Low that he needs to be
playing 30 - 40
games next season to even be considered for the Germany squad to go to France for the Euro2016 tournament next summer, and if he can't get a first team place at the Turkish giants then
there will be nobody left to blame but himself.
Now I think
there is still reasons to be cheerful, I agree Man C & Chelski have spent & bought some good players, we all understand that 5 of those teams might be in the CL proper which is a huge distraction for those 4 - 5 teams.Chelsea will not be able to field the same 13 - 14 players all season, as for Man C they were very frail at the back last season, add to that 2 flying wing backs and I'm not sure they will be any better this coming season.LFC will most probably have CL as well if they qualify and haven't exactly bought great players apart from Salah who could be a good aquasistion for them.Spuds have sold a good player & strengthened a rival & still not bought a single player yet, Man U have bought 2 good players & in Lukaku have a proven goal scorer in the PL but if they
play the same dour way they did last season & with the added
games the CL brings will they perform week in week out in the league??? As for Everton yes they have released a lot of players and also brought in a lot too to give better quality in the squad as they have Europa league the same as US the big difference is I think we will
play squad players & youngsters maybe with a few senior players all the way up to the QF This tells me most of our rivals will pave the way for us to field pretty much the same side every weekend in the PL thus giving us an advantage over all the other 5 teams
playing in the CL & Europa, just remember the League has been won in the last 2 seasons
by teams NOT in Europe YES we are this season but I think Wenger will put all his eggs in the League basket and field an under strength side in all comps hence focusing on the League until we are no longer in the race.
Today, in London alone
there are 380 soccer fields, and the attendance last season at
games played by teams of Great Britain's four major leagues was more than 34 million — more than twice as many as attended major league baseball
games in the U.S. this year.
I agree that ozil is probably one of the best crossers in europe but that being said he is also one of the best passers in europe, the best way to accomodate this is the way we did last season, make all the playmakers
play with fluidity, ramsey / ozil / ox exc should be switching positions all
game, to confuse the opposition, which we did so well in the first half of the season, if we can sustain that type of
play whilst changing formations at the right time,
there's no reason why we shouldn't have the title wrapped up
by the time we get to Old Toilet, to see my good old mate Judas's facial expression when he has to congratulate our achievement
By the time even an unsophisticated clientele could see that these just couldn't be the great players of the past,
there was nothing with which to follow the act, except for further imports — many of whom treated their American season as a summer vacation, and, like almost every soccer player in the world, loathed the artificial surfaces covering 13 of the 24 present and former NASL
playing fields, which took the life out of the
game.
He had to recover from that and still became the starter
by the starter
by game 4 (after
playing nearly all the drives against FSU in
game three) So
there's a legit argument that they transitioned from Stoudt to DW extremely quickly.
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...
Think if everyone was fit chambers might have been given a few
games as dm
by now its only cos we are short on numbers in defense that has forced wengers hand into leaving him where he is but think its only a matter of time before we see him get a opportunity to
play there!
By «keeping this going» he means that
there is no reason why we can't
play at this level in every
game if we put our minds to it.
There are plenty of international
games still to be
played and this Arsenal fan will not be able to relax until the last ball has been kicked
by our international players, most likely
by Alexis Sanchez or David Ospina whose nations both
play World Cup qualifiers in the early hours of Wednesday morning in South America.
He has already done one of them
by playing it down and the fact that we got a positive result on Wednesday will also help, as the
game last season that made this an issue was the trip to Man City after losing to Napoli away, but
there was travel involved and a tougher team to face then.
