In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger'

feet, or to battle amongst his opponents,
in terms
of height he can often get pushed out

in the way that Walcott did when he had a go up
front.

foot of course)... the formula was broken, which didn't have to be the end
of our success, but when you adopt half - measures you can't expect things just to work themselves out on their own... at the very least Wenger should have brought
in some wingers that can consistently cross the ball and then spend significantly more time addressing our lack
of success
with set pieces... ultimately this is why we continued to struggle
with consistency and continued to constantly play people
in the wrong positions
For the remaining 13 rounds, often
with his back against the ropes and Duran squarely
in front of him, Leonard remained flat -
footed — trading shots, countering, slipping punches, going to the body behind upper - cuts
with both hands.
players like Ozil always present the fans
with a bit
of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once
in awhile there emerges a player
with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part
of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely
in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out
of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking
of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike...
in the case
of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or
with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals
with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best
of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil
of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer
with the kind
of players necessary for him to flourish...
with our poor man's version
of Benzema up
front, the headless chickens
in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil
with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much
of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers...
in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be
in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best
foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club
of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
He hit 17 greens
in regulation (and wound up on the fringe
of the one he missed), and he turned the tide on the
front nine
with a pair
of 30 -
foot bombs.
Some horses don't like to get hit
with stinging clods
of dirt thrown up by horses
in front of them; others, missing the springy, firmer
footing of the grass, tend to slip on the harder bottom
of a dirt course, lose their confidence and thus won't extend themselves.
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...
Against Liverpool at the Emirates, however, the North Londoners need to start the game on the
front foot and grab the early initiative against their opponents who are handicapped
with a whole lot
of injuries and not coming into this game
in the best
of shape.
But Carlton Cole wrapped up the three points
with a scorching left
footed strike
in front of the fans
in the Bobby Moore stand to seal a 3 - 1 victory.
But once again the French side refused to lie down and got their noses
in front again on the hour mark when Payet latched onto Thauvin's ball and danced into the area before curling an exquisite strike into the top corner
with the outside
of his right
foot.
One famous incident at Old Trafford springs to mind when Fletcher took out Arshavin
with a 2
foot tackle, then collected the ball
with his hand, laid
in front of his
feet and played on.
Rosicky, arguably our man
of the match, put us
in front before incredibly Walcott remembered what he can do
with the ball at his
feet and just the keeper to beat.
Aging quickly, Ashley Williams looked a dead man walking under Koeman but under Allardyce his lack
of mobility isn't exposed, albeit he still finds himself going into challenges second, while his usual partner Mason Holgate is strong and aggressive although still very raw at 21 years old — a good
front -
foot defender but
with a tendency to go
in for a challenge regardless
of whether it's the right choice or not, often seeming
in two minds into what position he should take up.
«If they can turn up, start on the
front foot, put pressure on that back four
with the pace they've got as well on the wide areas - Danny Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez will be
in the wide areas - then they could cause a few problems for Chelsea's defence,» Parlour, who was speaking on behalf
of England team sponsor Vauxhall, told Sky Sports News HQ.
However, they are also one
of only two sides yet to keep a clean sheer, along
with second from bottom Wigan, which I suppose isn't to be surprised: Lambert likes his team to play on the
front foot but also to get forward
in numbers, which, evidentially, leaves them vulnerable at the back − especially against teams the like
of Liverpool, who offensively have a wealth
of creativity and fire - power.
While Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain have often been tagged as dream signings up
front for Arsenal — two strikers capable
of being individually dangerous upgrades on Giroud — the more mobile, fleet -
footed Aubameyang is a player who looks to be a centre - forward
with everything required to mingle
with the free - roaming runs
of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil
in the final third.
