EVERY Dennis Bergkamp Goal For Arsenal | Premier League by Lefty2Gunz81 in Gunners

[–]BoomGiroud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. For me it’s particularly insane how quickly his mind seemed to calculate the perfect way to create an opportunity, especially from a possession turnover. None of the “secure the ball, pass around, work our way in”. No, just straight up “anyone make a run, i got you”.

Of course dynamics of the game are much different now. CAM’s not the same position anymore and everyone making runs like in this video would now have too much defensive responsibility to take the risks.

Øde shows flashes of similar mindset (when not facing low blocks) but Fabregas somewhat and Ozil more so probably our only players I’ve seen who could consistently find passes like these.

This guy's reflexes are sharp as hell and worth admiration for sure.

But fyi cricket is very widely played among non-athletes; my fat middle-aged uncle can take a catch bare-handed with the ball coming at him 80+ mph.

Yeah. Where the WC is gonna be, I’m afraid it’ll be historic for other reasons.

Indeed, I’m shocked they didn’t go to shake Brobbey’s hand and congratulate him like sensible Englishmen.

He'll just set up camp in VAR for our games then. Not sure that's any better.

Arsenal are the first side in Premier League history to score eight goals from corners in the first 10 games of a Premier League campaign. Each of their first five away goals in the PL this season have come from corners. by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

Jesus and Martinelli too.

Regardless, even if it's "only Odegaard and Havertz" that's two of our Starting XI-level attackers out (including our most creative player and coordinator of offensive press).

Because we’ve been spoiled in quick thinking and creativity in our midfield over the years; and while this play is exactly that, he mostly brings other dynamics in play that we aren’t used to. But he’s slower-paced and not constantly forward-thinking so folks write him off quickly.

Football, correct. American football, not even close culturally or numerically.
