Not exact matches
Palmer was one
of them, and so was Gary
Player, who had been fighting a
bad attack of tonsillitis and sounded like Andy Devine when he talked.
As a result, it would surely require a
player to head out first to make space for Werner, but having spent so heavily on their
attack, it's only logical that they address their issues at the other end
of the pitch given that they possess the
worst defensive record
of the top seven Premier League sides this season having conceded 36 goals in 27 games.
Both clubs are in the market for new
attacking midfield
players this summer, with United in particular desperate to strengthen after a highly disappointing campaign this year, and with the likes
of Nani, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia all
badly under - performing.
Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerti

Arteta and Flamini both sit deep, no one link up between
attack and defence, Carzola had one
of the
worst game this season — and as many other Arsenal
players, suffer from inconsistency this season.
Today we saw our
attacking force without alexis... and it is a shame... for all
of those talking nonsense about alexis being to selfish qnd that affecting our «fluency»... lacazzete is a cf so he needs people behind him... if we do nt buy q world class
player to replace alexis we are done, we would not fight for the tittle... today was a friendly, but the difference was huge... do nt lie urself about we play with 2nd teqm
players... we start with oyr first team in the middle and front line, and we did nothing... hope that 280k a week to ozil is a
bad joke
I join you on that almostawinner... but the same can be said
of that famous english core that we extended / signed a couple
of years back... Ramsey is a great
player, can be world class but for that has to stop being so wasteful at times (
bad / heavy first touch, killing counter
attacks with the wrong choices, not shooting well anymore the way it looks, giving the ball away)... your not on Gerrard level at his best Gibbs is a good
player but seems happy with his bit part role, doesn't look like he's crazy about pushing & challenging Montreal for a XI spot Ox, I still believe in his talent but just no end product for an offensive
player with his ability; he could be our version
of PFA Hazard / Costa... is it a lack
of confidence?
While both those
players are frustrating, I find Ramsey to be the
worse as I feel his best moments
of his playing career was in those few months alongside Arteta and he was looking like a contender for POTY already then got injured, that period
of time seen Ramsey put in more tackles per game than Arteta (on average I think it was 4.4), he was doing the defending and then taking the ball forward in
attacks.
-
bad at set pieces - crosses never finds target - lack
of lob passes / long ball through out the game often weak against counters after over committing
players to
attack.
So when you wonder which
players Arsene Wenger should start with in central midfield against the Tigers, a lot
of Arsenal fans might say the most
attacking ones we have available, which would probably be Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain and Alex Iwobi, but I do not think the boss will be that gung ho, especially after being caught out so
badly against Watford and then Chelsea.
Our number 11 was largely anonymous once again in the Premier League win over Hull City and that makes it three games in a row when the
attacking midfielder has been challenging for the role
of worst player on the pitch.
Are some
of you on here missing a few brain cells as fans There is nothing Arsenal or Wenger can do with the Sanchez situation He wants to leave and has been offered 400k a week in wages who in their right mind is going to turn that down as a
player As for blaming wenger who has been our most successful manager helped us build a stadium gave us 20 years
of cl football and some
of the best teams the ol has seen Including the invincible and you all have the Gaul to trash the man as if he has done nothing for the club I suggest you should look at the plastic fans in the Arsenal blogs that have created a toxic atmosphere at the club They
attack their own
players in a daily basis why would any top
player come to s club where the manager the owners and
players are shamelessly attached constantly Yet Wenger wins trophies regularly even them that is derided Look at Spurs Liverpool they win fuk all every year yet their fans back then Look at yourselves and all the negativity that you have created striking the club before you blame Wenger for everything I have been a season ticket holder since the 70s and never have I seen our fanbase been so full
of entitled morons who have stopped backing the club and constantly deride the club snd
attack it We have the
worst fanbase in football you have made this great club a lagging stock in world football All you now us fans constantly moaning If you don't like Arsenal fc then buy out kronke and run the club or fuk off and support someone else You won't be missed Coyg
Would be disappointed if N'jie turns out to be our
attacking signing he's so wasteful in front
of goal & his first touch is
worse just can't understand why we would go for him Sending Akpom on loan to buy N'jie what is wenger thinking + afobe should have still been an arsenal
player
AM - N
badly needs Wenger gone and then, but not otherwise, I feel sure we will soon have a central midfield
attacking player of quality on our hands.
lol at the expert fanbase deriding our own
players Ramsey is a fantastic footballer with a great engine and a work ethic gives his all when he playes H was one
of the best
players at the last euros or did people forget that It's really sad to se our moronic fanbase who keep
attacking their own
players as if they know all about football and tactics Do you forget that he has scored in two cup finals Ask yourselves what have you achieved when criticising others At the rate at icy the moronic Arsenal fanbase hating their own
players and Manager so viciously what too
player would cme and play for us Look at teams like pool or spuds don't an fuk all but their fans support their teams no matter what It used to be like that at Arsenal but now we have the
worst fanbase in football I know because I have bee a season t it holder since the 70s Hat a spoilt bunch
of useless fans we have now mrs so sad to see COYG
They have a number
of promising young centre backs who ought to be given an opportunity to prove themselves for the remainder
of the season in the EPL matches.They simply can not be
worse than the rapidly declining Koscielny and Mustafi who can not cope with the likes
of Swansea, Bournemouth etc. let alone a team like Spurs.The lack
of steel at the back impacts on our more
attacking players as they know they need to score 2/3 goals to have any chance
of producing a win.As usual Elneny has come in for criticism but the real culprits are our centre backs and Xhaka who seems to be a fixture regardless
of being bang average.
I fear Something really
bad will happen (
players will be
attacked by fans physical) because
of wenger.there are some reports saying some
of our
players are refusing to play for wenger
I don't think his job is to initiate
attack, he's main job is to win the ball back and play a simple pass to our more offensive
players, and he is not
bad in possession as d stat and u re suggest, and I don't see any tactical reason behind carzola being backward order than ramsey being injured, nobody initiate our
attack better than ramsey and dats d work
of a box to box midfielder and not the defensive midfielder.
Caroll had his 1 in 10 great game and it happened to be against us Welbeck was a little poor today Iwobi was not
bad but West Ham hounded him and he struggled on occasions Sanchez can be stressful to watch sometimes, he needs to learn how to pass quicker and better and needs to learn to use his left foot Belerin is great but needs to learn to cross as his high crosses are just floaters, which are really easy to defend and very hard to
attack Giroud bought some solidity that we needed Ramsey was ok, Walcott was his usual «meh» Hoping that the Arsenal
players work on their weaknesses over the rest
of this season and over the summer.
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...
Lemar moving to Chelsea would certainly be
bad news for Arsenal and Liverpool, who both arguably need a
player of his quality in
attack more than Conte's side.
What would be high on my list — Is top squad building capabilities, bringing through young
players, competitive nature,
bad loser, finds a good balance with
attacking and defending, an eye for a bargain if needs be, good character judgement, either has winning mentality or looks eager to gain one, respects the hell out
of The Arsenal, and respects loyalty.
One
of the factors that seems to be struggling most Leicester City in this season is their lack
of scoring goals as they have only managed to score 11 goals in 11 matches, it's one
of the
worst goal - scoring records out
of all the teams in the Premier League and Nigel Pearson has already expressed his desire to try and solve this problem by signing a reliable
attacking player.
The ageing core
of players that runs through
of the spine
of the side; from Rob Green in goal to Bobby Zamora in
attack, with Clint Hill, Richard Dunne, Karl Henry and Joey Barton in between, has been typically reliable and resilient for most
of the season, but let down by a group
of fringe
players christened «
Bad Eggs» by Barton.
We lacked inventiveness and most importantly the team looked so out
of sync in
attack (
players running into each other,
bad off - the - ball movement, etc.).
I think it down to Benitez's crippling negativity — the season has gone so
badly he worries that playing
attacking football with a
player that hasn't bedded in is more
of a risk than playing two defensive midfielders.
As Ryse takes us back to the old times
of Rome, Playing as one
of the heroes
of Rome the game gives us an exciting battle system that lets the
players attack an enemy from one side while quickly turning around to block other
attacks from the different directions, Blocks & counters are essential in the game if you don't get used to blocking you won't be surviving very long, from what they've shown us so far I dare say that the gameplay might actually get boring & repetitive quite quickly actually but gameplay is not always everything, and don't get me wrong the gameplay is not actually
bad but it could have been alot better!

Getting overcrowded is almost a recipe for instant death unless the
player has certain items (such as scrolls that
attack an entire room), and even the best
of players will be looking at a game over screen if they get a few
bad rolls on back - to - back floors.
The lack
of a team - wide scoreboard irks some
players, but not being able to see the K / D ratios
of your teammates is probably a good thing, since you can see your own stats, and some people in the community are
bad enough without needing an extra element to
attack one's team over.
But with Just Guard, a top
player can parry a string
of hits, unblockable
attacks and
worse.

of issues for the

The parents» lawyer, Jay Paul Deratany, was previously in the news for threatening a parasitic lawsuit seeking $ 1 million from Knicks
player Antonio Davis because Davis went into the stands to protect his wife from being
attacked by an aggressive Chicago fan, even though Davis made no physical contact with anyone; the dispute settled within a week without actual litigation after
bad publicity for Deratany's client (the son
of a prominent political operative) caused the attorney to backtrack from the million - dollar damage claim.
Most blockchains see this sort
