CL: Arsenal v Paris Saint-Germain Reaction - Home

Most people appreciate both. You don't have to look too far to find my arguments on why I thought Theo and Sanchez were more suited up front for us over Giroud. Pace and movement would create more opportunities on goal. You've said neither were suited to play up front when we've had this debate in the past so not sure how you can conclude the above.

Theo isn't suited to play up top

If you go back, I was one of the first to advocate for Sanchez playing center forward while a few shouted me down.

My issue with Sanchez is that he chases the ball, which he still does. The last match he played for Chile is the way I always want Sanchez to play center fired for us.



Strikers getting into positions to take on good chances and finishing at a 25% clip>>>> those who score memorable goals but are nonexistent the rest of the match.

We may have both agreed on Sanchez being able to play up front last year but since the season kicked off you've kept saying he lacked the intelligence to play there.

Why isn't Theo suited up front? I hear your point about the importance of a striker being able to get into a good position to score which is why a couple of seasons back I argued we should be playing Walcott up front when most on here backed Welbeck because of his build and pace. The problem I had with Welbeck, despite looking the part, we hardly created any chances with him up top. We might as well have been playing Bif up front because we looked the same in terms of approach. Walcott has a different effect on the team when playing up top and if he were played there throughout the whole of last season and if he could have stayed fit, I'm positive Ozil would have broke that assist record.

Not being funny and everything, but who is Welbeck?

[Power n Glory]

Danny Welbeck.

Dan-Dannny Welbeck, oh I remember him...I think
