Podolski is mainly a striker and should be used as such . He can operate at the left wing and be efficient if he is supported by a good left back . But in our point of view where a left back is always a calamity it means Lukas should be converted as a left back no 2 to limit the damage and hence limit his attacking threat . He is being made to work harder than he should and condemning Arsenal not to fully benefit his ability . Should we sign Messi next time and make him a central defender ?
Stop stealing my material. :angry:
he should be played centrally but he should still be running his bollocks off no matter where he is positioned. you start the habit of not working hard enough, it becomes a trait that is hard to change. if he was our main striker, then he would need to be dropping deep, drifting wide occasionally, hassling defenders...basically working just as hard as being on the wing.Quote:

This guy is a quality footballer and has tons of heart. You can see it in the way he plays. If we can't get an end product out of Podolski then there needs to be a series of shootings at the club. If only that china doll Rosicky could get fit, if Jack can get a good run in the team, if only we hadn't bought Diaby but a similar player who could stay fit for more than ten minutes. This is the steel we need in the team, the type of players who can drag the rest to a higher and consistent standard.
But there are certain players who must never play. Nothing can work well when some of the parts are completely fucked. You can't have a player like Santos in the team and expect anything good to come from it. We need to drop the mental pretence of being a big club, because we aren't (expect on the balance sheet which has been reserved for the shareholders). We need to realise we are second tier and start getting back to the basics. We need to drop this idea we are Arsenal therefore entitled, you see that shit running through half the players with their flicks and carnival tricks and languid assurance (right before they give the ball away).
Players like Theo Walcott need a massive kick up the arse. He moans and bitches about what he wants. Well here's what we want from him in return. Accurate passing. Accurate crossing. Intelligent running. Yeah, thanks for the 1 in 10 strike rate but we want the simple stuff done properly too. Cazorla, learn to shoot please, learn to cross. Ramsey, see Walcott, the simple stuff please. The next flick on the edge of the box and you get a swift kick in the knackers. Arshavin, don't you have an ounce of pride? Ox, you haven't arrived yet mate - more work to do.
Chamakh, Santos, out of here. You can't have shit like this bringing a group of professionals down.
And somebody needs to block Wenger's internet access and burn his GPS vests. This stupid percentage based approach to football needs to be killed stone dead. I'd rather see us winning 4-0 and losing 4-0 the next week and just letting the numbers go to hell, let the players play with heart rather than sliderules. Just fucking thump the ball into the box and let Giroud barge it into the goal. Enough of this ballet dancing shite, I'd rather be Celtic than Barcelona because at least we could compete at that level.
We just aren't one of the big clubs any more and as soon as we accept that we'll be able to get back to the fundamentals that will allow us to start on the road back to top.
Every player on the pitch should work hard to help others out . But when you are made to cover the laziness ," shittness " of other players and pay the price of limiting what you can do to earn some credit can be stressful .Quote:

gets injured. So he's going to have to man the fuck up. Or leave to Man City in January. Whatever works for him.
Yeah but he'd have known this when he signed. End of the day had RVP stayed he would not have played up top anyways, but id guess he still would have moaned.Quote:
