UCL: Anderlecht v Arsenal - 22/10/14, 19:45 - SS1

I'm not happy with Sanchez' positioning on the field, look at the way Walcott positions himself when he plays, as wide as possible with the intention of making diagonal runs, stretches the opposition defense and provides us with a consistent outlet which is away from the ball, Walcott tends to not get involved in the build up play. Sanchez on the other hand just moves to wherever the ball is which saturates an already saturated middle area, he also keeps hold of the ball for too long.

I've had enough of Wilshere as I have stated on numerous occasions on this forum. He has no idea when to release the ball, always takes an unnecessary touch and he tends to panic when he gets into promising positions and just execute some sort of weird flick past which ends up going nowhere.

The majority of times they take an extra touch or hold onto the ball because there is nothing ahead of them. I don't think putting the blame on players who look to take some sort of responsibility is the way to.

Need to look at players that mess up perfectly good chances first. E.g Cazorla.

What you're saying probably occurs but a consistent feature of this season for me has been the utterly abysmal decision making from the players. I've witnessed on numerous occasions Sanchez and Wilshere taking that unnecessary second touch when they could've either shot in Wilshere's case or slipped the ball through to a teammate in Sanchez' case, happens over an over again which is why Wilshere shouldn't be anywhere near the box and Sanchez should concentrate on being a winger.

Also forgot to mention that Welbeck has some of the worst peripheral vision out there.

Not sure I agree with your piece on Sanchez, but I agree with you say about Wilshere. As soon as he gets near the final third, he makes the wrong choices.

What don't you agree about my thoughts on Sanchez?

I believe he is pretty good in the final third. You don't make two kids if you're bad in that area...

I knew I had something else to get off my chest after the Anderlecht debacle. Did anyone else notice how Gibbs went to celebrate near the sideline with some other players but it was The Ox who picked the ball out of the net and called them back to the half way line. I noticed the same in the Wigan cup semi. We had just got an equaliser against an inferior team and instead of getting it back and restarted ASAP before our opponents got a chance to regroup we spent ten minutes patting ourselves on the back

From memory did the Ox not do the same against Sp**s this season?

Scoring your first derby goal against Sp**s and celebrating is pretty acceptable.

I was gonna say, the equaliser in the NLD is reason enough to celebrate, nevermind the fact it's his first derby goal! Anderlecht away is a team we should be beating comfortably.

Which is exactly where Flamini should be playing.

If he boots it out, he should play sunday league, if he doesn't, he should play sunday league.

What, pray tell, should he do to avoid sunday league in your eyes

Love this guy a born winner, its a shame his team mates don't share the same attitude when it comes to mediocrity, wouldn't surprise me if he started looking for a way out of Arsenal next summer (Sanchez)

Nothing, he's doomed.

Agree & disagree. He could do a Park and not a Diaby...

 

[Mastadon]

What do you mean do a Diaby? Be injured for 3 years and turn world class in the process?
