afc Arsenal 2014/15 Thread

[Kuffir]

we'll see

 

if you think wenger aint gonna be putting out the same kind of shoehorned teams he was at the start of the season ur kiddin urself

 

amount of midfielders we have to accomodate someone bound to suffer

[TF S4DK]

Bar an injury/illness this week, other than Chambers in for Debuchy, I think we will be unchanged for Man City.

A part of methinks he'll be very tempted to drop Rosicky for Ramsey's running and scoring ability, or adding Flamini for more protection (which in reality just means we are assured of three yellow cards minimum with him, Chambers and Coquelin all on pitch)

Once we lose however, then Wenger will reset, Rosicky back to the bench, Coquelin and Campbell banished out the 18, Santi and Ozil reunited, with one on the left (only thing changing this is when Giroud and Welbeck are both available again) and Alexis.

[Badman]

Dont be such a pessimist 

[JOHN DOE]

hes being a realist 

[TF S4DK]

Dont be such a pessimist 

 

I ain't I just know our manager.

 

The only things are await to see is how the Welbeck/Giroud combined with Ozil/Santi AND Alexis issue is resolved in his mind.

 

While not now halting Oxlade-Chamberlain and slowly bringing Walcott and to a lesser extent Gnabry in.

 

Or did you mean in terms of beating City?

[Afroman]

TF is pretty spot on.

[youcleanwepaint]

reading back through this thread them theo walcott pipe dreams, man has not progressed at all in his 8 years at Arsenal

what 2 years ago he bagged like 12 or something in the league.. he should be lucky if he gets a starting place as a winger because being a cf..he aint about that life

[gattsu]

Theo's quite clearly progressed since he's been here

Wtf

[youcleanwepaint]

[Heero Yuy]

Obviously needs to add more goals to his game, which is what he was doing before he got injured. He does alot for the team though, good movement, direct running, outlet. Saying he hasn't progressed is air though, he actually looks like some type of footballer compared to the out and out 100m sprinter he resembled once. 

 

best finishers?

 

jesus christ this room

 

So walcott isn't one of the best finishers at the club? and if so then name where he comes in the list.

 

Cheers

[Kuffir]

no walcott isnt one of the best finishers at our club

 

his high ranking on such a list would be more an indictment of those beneath him than a testament to his ability

 

having said that i'd put rosicky, ramsey, sanchez, giroud maybe even welbeck above walcott just off the top of my head

[Heero Yuy]

This was from the 2012/13 season

One of the best finishers at the club

 

lol @ mentioning Giroud and finishing in the same subject

 

lol @ not having Walcott (as an arsneal fan) in your top 3 in a one on one situation.

[Fresh]

Did I hear Welbeck is a finisher? 

[Badman]

Nah Giroud is a finisher, come on

[Kuffir]

lol @ not having Walcott (as an arsneal fan) in your top 3 in a one on one situation.

 

crazy talk

 

giroud may not convert all his chances but at least he hits the target more time

 

and our squad was dusty as hell in 2012/13, arshavin, gervinho, bendtner??

 

hardly surprising

[Kuffir]

walcott is actually THEE most frustrating player to see in a 1 on 1 situation

 

for me anyway, dont rele care what other arsenal fans think

 

Did I hear Welbeck is a finisher? 

 

no 

[Heero Yuy]

Oh yeah he hits the target more time..

I'm not Walcotts biggest fan atorr, and he is frustrating in his predictability and decision making, but his finishing is actually his best attribute with his pace.

 

Not sure were you're getting the opposite view from tbf.

 

Calling Giroud a finisher (@Badman) is insane, Wenger is feeding  man shit and telling you it's caviar.

[Kuffir]

boy thats from the third month of last year

 

for the record im not arguing for girouds prowess as a finisher just walcotts deficiency in that area

[mp*]

I just find it sad we are talking about current best finishers at Arsenal and we are arguing over guys like Giroud and Wally

 

Says alot

[Mephisto]

I can kinda see your point. Due to his movement, Theo gets the most clear cut chances eg. 1 on 1's or shots where hes under no physical pressure.

 

Looking at it like that his finishing is far from deadly.

Still rate him top 3
