but will
wenger play him at back or just put someone out of position (like flam) there?
Not exact matches
Gibbs hasn't got the confidence to pass the ball forward, he gets to pass
back to often and is not good
at defending Monreal is a class act so we need to add there Ramsey is not a wide player, why
Wenger doesn't
play his strongest first then make the 2subs in 65 min and Walcot should have started as Ramsey is better in Midfield.
Seen through the eyes of
Wenger he just spends a boat load of money on Xhaka and with
playing 3
at the
back we will be
playing with 5 defenders if you include the wingbacks, add Xhaka (or Coq or Elneney) and you have 6 defensive minded players, leaving 4 attackers.
No difference with the two players... Henry wanted to leave to win titles / Fabregas wanted to leave to win titles Henry took the chance to
play at Barca / Fabregas took the chance to
play at Barca
Wenger took Henry
back /
Wenger refused taking Fabregas
back There's more to this than meets the eye.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hit
back at Arsene
Wenger's jibe
at the Blues» defensive tactics by claiming the way they
play isn't as easy as he seems to claim.
Wenger on Alexis
playing at Copa America: «I would just like to wish him good luck and that he comes
back without any injury.»
So simply put, we need to support the club with passion and respect, we can judge
Wenger and the team on their success
at the end of the season, but now we must fulfill our role as fans and show everyone involved that we are behind the club as proud Arsenal supporters, a club who's success was not purchased but instead achieved on the
back of financial fair
play, stability and commitment.
I quite agree sell all the deadwoods but which player in his right mind would want to come to arsenal
at the moment, remember people man u was in the same situation under moyes but we're able to attract better player's even when not
playing champions league, the selling point from arsenal point of view is to tell players which they are trying to get what the plan is of getting
back to top flight football by going for the Europa league over the FA cup and finishing in the top six otherwise if they go for wishy - washy arsene
wenger stupid attitude of we've got quality all the squad we are competing for everything then I'm afraid We will end up with nothing
Wenger has always set up his teams to attack and entertain the fans, sometimes maybe
at the expense of leaving the defense exposed
at the
back, and
Wenger grudgingly admitted that tactics still have a part to
play over a whole season.
Even
Wenger mentioned (when Theo asks to
play central and his
played central he goes
back to the right — when his
played on the right he wants to
play central), that says a lot,
at 27 he doesn't even know his best position and strengths.
Old age is not treating
Wenger well
at all he's become more stubborn than ever, he saw Ozil
playing on the left for Germany thinking he can do it for Arsenal forgetting that Germany have the correct players all around to
back up having Ozil on the left
The fault is
Wengers for not
playing an established DM especially with three
at the
back!!!
Can someone remind
Wenger that Elneny is not a CB, If his waiting for Mustafi and Gabrieal then he should have
played natural CB
at least... How about Naby Keita for # 30 - 40million and give them both Elneny and Jack Wilshire (Buy
Back Clause for him) avenue to
play and re-invent himself
I said after that game
Wenger should have
played 3
at the
back or Gabriel in a DM position.
Where I hope
Wenger won't be «
Wenger» will be to start
playing him
at Wing
back, HE IS A DAMN GOOD ATTACKING MIDFIELDER AND HE IS NOT VERSATILE (in Yesterdays» game he scored 2 great goes the moment he moved to the AM position from the WB position — that tells you where home is for this talented young man) He will fit well across the front 3, end of story.
Cabaye is a long throughball specialist, so it wouldn't surprise me if
Wenger bought him to
play deep, that would then allow Cazorla to be a free AMF when needed instead of coming
back to help Coquelin
at times.
Arsene
Wenger would then have to decide on whether to look
at bringing in a replacement to
play as
back - up to the Spaniard, or if he is more than happy with keeping Ainsley Maitland - Niles, Gabriel Paulista or even Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain to fill in the role.
Corchia is an attack - minded full -
back who can also
play in midfield, and would have fit in perfectly
at the Emirates Stadium in Arsene
Wenger's attacking lineup.
When you compare how well Sanchez
played in his first season
at Arsenal, to how he has
played this season, You will find that Mr
Wenger's cut
backs to training, because of fear of injuries (especially with Sanchez, who used to stay behind for extra target practice) is the main reason for our downfall during mid-season (mediocre performances)
In the Premier league
Wenger has started Holding 6 times to Chambers 5, although Calum has also been
played as a right
back at times, so
Wenger doesn't seem to have a preference on paper and seems to treat them equally.
More likely Ramsey stays (After all, he's the future of Arsenal according to
Wenger) Ox might go (To avoid spending the next 2 years
playing at wing -
back) Lacazette will go somewhere that doesn't try to get him on - the - cheap.
Fabregas
played his a $ $ off for us in every single game and went
back to the club that was his boyhood club and was also willing to come
back to us
at the start of this season gone and the club or
Wenger said they didn't need him, well clearly Arsenal did as has been proved.
You are spot on on Perez being better than ozil if he's given the chance, but neither of them are
at wilshere's level when fit Wilshere is aggressive, you can't get the ball off him unless you foul him which gives us enough set pieces, he's a big game player, watch our games against Bayern, barca, Chelsea, man city, man utd e.t.c when he
plays, he creates more chances You just need to watch his games even
at Bournemouth against Chelsea, which brings me
back to the point that, no coach will ever
play ozil while Wilshere is fit except
wenger............ Plus, ozil is a pu ** y or a weakling rather
Soon
Wenger will
play him
at Right
Back (RB) and that's when he will know that he's doomed!
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced
at Arsenal without looking
at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by
Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by
Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who
plays with his
back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or
Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil
playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time
at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
With Hector Bellerin proving a good addition to the mix,
Wenger shouldn't be hesitant to
play the Spaniard
at Right -
Back, shifting Calum Chambers into
playing at Center -
Back where he belongs.
While Sead Kolasinac has looked a great signing
at left -
back this season, Shaw could be another tempting option for
Wenger as he looks for a long - term replacement for Nacho Monreal, who usually
plays more centrally now anyway.
That will be great if he can manage to do that but what's more important if arsenal can snatch 3 point from Liverpool
at an field today...... arsenal to sell ox to Chelsea this week too bad, all this injury prone players are becoming traitors all the time after
Wenger has
back them during difficult time of their
playing career...
Perhaps in starting 11 if Kolasinac is
played as left
back, but with the departure of Gabriel and
Wenger not really trusting Holding and Chambers and having switched to 3
at the
back, I am not convinced our
back line has strengthened.
Due to injuries to our left
backs Wenger has been obliged to
play Bellerin and AMN who would be ideal
at right back.Give Bellerin a break.He is one of the club's most saleable assets which is more than can be said for the likes of Mustafi and Xhaka who are average and over priced.
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.
This stems from a lack of strong defensive
backs and midfielders, being
played out of position, and
Wengers sh@tty job
at team rotation.
In all honesty Arsenal
played well we had very good position with loads of chances and 13 corner kicks how come we are so crappy
at scoring corners???? We need to start scoring the chances we get from corners we could have easily beat southhampton by 4 goals but forster was good he got the 3 points off us MR
wenger should go
back to the drawing board as he has some options one of witch could the calling of welington silva or a reshuffle bring iwobi in elneny or new methods in tactics as in picking players and rehearse attacks strategy As for the referee I to felt done by him there was on particular foul on sanches that was not giving
at the end we need to register our efforts and be clinical
With a move for Real Madrid star Sami Khedira seemingly falling through, it may be that
Wenger has identified Blind as a decent alternative to come in and
play that role for his team next season, as well as providing more cover and depth
at the
back.
Bellerin would likely
play at right -
back, meaning Calum Chambers can move centrally to fill in for the absent Koscielny alongside Per Mertesacker, moving Nacho Monreal
back to his favoured left - sided position to replace Gibbs after a few unsuccessful games in the middle for
Wenger's side.
# 6m is certainly within Arsenal's budget and the fact that the player can
play at both right -
back and in the centre of the defence is clearly going to interest Arsene
Wenger.
This persuaded
Wenger to give him a first team chance
back at Arsenal, and despite some promising performances he rarely
played or scored and after complaining about lack of game time he was sent on loan again after six months to Villarreal, where he scored just once in 15 appearances.
At the
back I feel we are very good, Cech, Bellerin, Kos and Monreal are all definite starters in my book,
Wenger has recently been putting a lot of faith in stats (Buying Gabriel was as a result of stats) So I hope to see Gabriel in for Mert both have
played twice, With Mert we have conceded 3, With Gabriel we have yet to concede.
Wow
at CB partnership, we all knew we got a world class CB but we didn't KNOW if he would settle quick enough etc... I am super happy with our def now and I think that has made it easier for Theo as
Wenger does like to
play out from the
back.
THe Financial Fair
Play rules brought in by UEFA did seem to
back Kroenke and
Wenger but they have not been ideal and look set to be
at least changed in the near future.
We need to
play a mix of both as in 3 defenders man marking 3 of the other teams best headers
at set pieces and the other players marking zones, Bould and
Wenger are lost
at doing defensive work, Bould was part of the famous
back 4 of Dixon, Bould, Adams and Winterburn he should do all the things George Graham taught them when it was the 1 - 0 to the Arsenal days
Cesc could have gone
back to Arsenal after leaving Barca but
Wenger did not buy him
back when he had him in a silver platter... there is a greater need for Cesc now with Santi, Jack and Rosicky out / poor form / retired than
back then but
Wenger should never have allowed this transfer to happen for simply NOT letting Chelsea get stronger, we had enough room in the squad roster
back then anyway and he could have sent Jack on loan that season and common sense also said Rosicky was almost
at the end of his career so Cesc would have
played a lot anyway.
Bellerins confidence has been knocked and
playing him
at the right time could have been a better aid to bring his confidence
back rather than throwing him in game after game even though we had the Ox who could do that and if Bellerin form was out then WTF is
Wenger doing picking a player out of form... He hasn't and it must mean Bellerin is being sold?
If I can give an example on how it is for a supporter, one on them was clamoring for Bellerin to
play right
back but when he didn't perform well
at Stoke that same supporter criticized
Wenger for
playing Bellerin....
While Arsenal do not really have anything to
play for, Premier League points and position wise, against West Brom
at the Emirates stadium today, Arsene
Wenger and the players will be very keen to get
back to winning ways ahead of the crucial clash against Aston Villa
at Wembley next weekend.
lst season
at stamford bridge, was the first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and well all know the outcome.the manager has come
back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are
playing a slow dm in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality teams with sound tactics.wen
playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can hold the ball for our midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on
wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY
PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.
If
Wenger is planning to
play 3
at the
back then he best stick them behind Cech, otherwise we will get Hammered big time..
Arsene
Wenger has announced that he is happy with Elneny's progress in his two years
at the club and he revealed he believes he can
play as a centre -
back as well as in midfield.
If your CB's are awful in a 4
back system then they'll be exposed as well in a 3
back system no matter what happens.You're just delaying the time for them to get exposed and deceiving yourself.Our problem was not about formation.It was about tactics yet no one saw this and thought 3 -4-3 was our saviour.Look
at our starting CB's in 4
back: Koscielny and Mustafi who are all quality.The midfield is the problem.It's not the 3
back or 4
back.In 3
back also our players are not suited for that formation hence I advice
Wenger to switch
back before it's too late.We need to revert to 4
back and
play the right players in the centre.We needed a DM to make our midfield stable but we didn't so we have to make do with what we have.
Such BS from
Wenger, i don't see Pep
playing Leroy Sane
at wing
back so he learns defense.
