Eboue as right midfield?
-
Just to throw up a suggestion.
Eboue's defensive prowess has always been suspect. his positioning and tendency to prefer attacking. Can we instead use him as a winger given his pace? he also puts in good crosses. And since we have hoyte, we can use his as RB instead?
feasible? or am i just BS-ing? -
I rmb AW making a tactical switch like this ....
-
but can we make it permanent? instead of getting exposed on the flanks regularly. Arsenal has always been weak in the air defensive. maybe if we cut out crosses from the flanks?Originally posted by Trump_Card:I rmb AW making a tactical switch like this .... -
They've been fine ...sometimes even rosicky and hleb would tracked back and do some defensive duties...Originally posted by ben1xy:but can we make it permanent? instead of getting exposed on the flanks regularly.

i guess so. i guess i like to see eboue trumping forward. but i am still unconvinced abt hleb though. i do hope he proves me wrongOriginally posted by Trump_Card:They've been fine ...sometimes even rosicky and hleb would tracked back and do some defensive duties... -
The crosses often come from clichy and eboue (wing-backs) rather than hleb and rosicky if u realise ... I wonder if this is AW's idea of playing short , low passes...Originally posted by ben1xy:i guess so. i guess i like to see eboue trumping forward. but i am still unconvinced abt hleb though. i do hope he proves me wrong -
it's weird really, in the sense that our wingers dun actually cross much but instead prefer cutting inside. Which makes our play really predictable. Maybe we'll see who AW gets when the transfer window opens. i'm kinda looking forward to it actuallyOriginally posted by Trump_Card:The crosses often come from clichy and eboue (wing-backs) rather than hleb and rosicky if u realise ...

u kidding? eboue cannot la... he better stay as right back... he is jz like gary neville to manu with the crosses and runs... hoyte will be needed when eboue injured or go for african nations cup...Originally posted by ben1xy:Just to throw up a suggestion.

I believe that Eboue will move up to the right midfield whenever there's possible.. He's good in the flanks, maybe he should move up to right midfield..

Eboue was a Right-Midfielder before he was converted(Wenger-Style) to a Right-Back.
*Note: Wenger-Style = Converting and playing you at a totally unfamiliar position and expects you to get used to it. Players who includes Henry, Toure, Diaby, Flamini, etc have all been converted Wenger-Style.
Cheers.

For??Originally posted by ben1xy:i keep thinking about liverpool's riise! -
Yes. If my memory is right, he was playing Right-Midfield for Bevereen and for the early part of his Arsenal career. He was converted to Right-Back.Originally posted by ben1xy:he was a right mid field? oh, i didnt know that. he plays RB for ivory coast too right?
Also, Toure was an attacking midfielder before he was converted to central defender by Wenger. Didn't Ivory Coast's coach plays him at central defence too?
Cheers.

i like riise at left midfield more. so i thought eboue could do the sameOriginally posted by turbo_drift:For?? -
i actually remember toure's debut game. In his first game, he mad a huge impact. But in the subsequent ones, he just dropped off. all in all, i am glad he plays CB nowOriginally posted by CKeer:Yes.

i still remember a few crosses he blasted in right onto the head of Henry...
they resulted in goals which were unstoppable.. -
even the great one couldn't miss with his head from those eh?Originally posted by the Bear:i still remember a few crosses he blasted in right onto the head of Henry...

If eboue were to play at the right,then where will hleb play? Last season,during CL hleb and eboue had a good partnership. so i think eboue better stick being a right back.

maybe it's because i am still unconvinced about hleb. i like rosicky thoughOriginally posted by felirox:If eboue were to play at the right,then where will hleb play? Last season,during CL hleb and eboue had a good partnership. so i think eboue better stick being a right back. -
