The Arsenal Thread XX

'Ridiculous' - but as soon as qua intervened the system has become possible?

What's even more ridiculous is that in your original post you said it wouldn't work because OX and Sanchez don't make runs behind, but in response to qua it could work if Arsenal get a good DM.

Aren't you capable of thinking for yourself?

Also, note that I left the DM position empty:



As qua rightly said, the space left by Ozil would be occupied by the OX, Sanchez, Ramsey, and even Wilshere, whilst the DM, whoever he may be, will sit and protect the defence.

Replace the OX with Walcott when he's fit and this system has just become better - to claim that it is ridiculous, even without Walcott, is downright stupid.

You change your opinion with the wind. So many contradictory statements. That's not what you said couple weeks ago when I said I preferred Pedro for Arsenal.

Yup. Lol just look at the way people talk about Ozil now smh. I don't remember this amount of getting unto him when he had bad games at Real. I know if we signed Khedira people will stop rating him. The general thing is we have ruined Özil apparently..

qua also said with walcott our conversation was talking about playing it without walcott so jam isn't even backtracking

I know, I'm quite shocked. Man was adamant on Sanchez being better couple weeks ago and now it's a different story. But it's ok, we understand he is a "fan of football" before being a Chelsea fan lol

i hope wenger tries it the further away we get ozil from our goal the better maybe we'll stop gettin countered from his **** passes


id be willing to bet in the thousands that our attack would be ****ter than last season if we tried it without walcott if anyones interested though

So Sanchez has only gone and signed!

She said in a 4-3-3 it's possible. In your formation you're using a 4-2-3-1. Which is why I don't think it's possible, as in a 4-2-3-1 there are not enough people making forward runs, Wilshere e.g. is more restricted in that 4-2-3-1 you're using. So it's going to be harder to make runs from deep. Which is essentially what the false 9 relies on. The inside forwards and the CMs pushing higher up for the false 9 to pick out when the CBs are out of position trying to track the striker. Also, the wingers aren't in as advanced positions in the 4-2-3-1. If you're using an attacking 4-3-3(so you're using proper wingers), that system would leave loads of space in between your midfield and your defence. A few quick passes and then your defence is exposed like it was for all those top 4 away games last season.

I also said that it would not work against the bigger teams, but it's good enough to sort out the fodder in the league. All I'm saying is that if you try that against Chelsea the aggregate scoreline would be in double figures in Chelsea's favour.

You're picking and choosing what I said. It's like me putting on a false 9 formation for Chelsea with Hazard or Fabregas up top, it would theoretically work, could try it against smaller teams but it's not really a viable tactic to be using for every game.

I also disagree on whether Sanchez and Chamberlain are the right people for it. Walcott obviously fits the system like a charm
Quote the contradictary statements. It may seem like a contradiction but I'll explain myself properly if you give me the contradicting statements.

I remember saying that Sanchez is a better dribbler than Pedro and a better footballer. Also the world cup has made me see a different side to Sanchez. Pedro to me is a space player, which I think after the debacle that two injuries caused it's probably worth you buying an extra space player like Pedro than another creator.

I remember you saying that Pedro was the better dribbler and that Sanchez uses space better, when qua said the opposite. I remember when Pedro used to be a very good dribbler(and he still is) but you don't really see him making the type of dribbles that Neymar, Messi or Sanchez do anymore.

...and how exactly do you fit a false 9 in a 4-2-3-1?

lmao Sanchez is ****

I just can't accept that Sanchez is now an Arsenal player. This **** doesn't seem real


Hopefully we get Debuchy next then look out for a backup GK/holding midfielder and we're set

...and how exactly do you fit a false 9 in a 4-2-3-1?

**** off Man Utd .

You can't really. It doesn't work because the space the false 9 goes into is the same space that the no.10 is in, which essentially defeats the point of the formation.
