PL3 - Dealing with a Physical Team

[TheAgUuu]

last 3 seasons arsenal have conceded most corner and freekick goals in premier league

[chopplays1]

So what's your point? The way to beat physical long ball is to win headers? Obviously your opponent is employing this tactic cause he has an advantage in that dept. It's like saying the way to beat a fast player is to run faster. LOL

@chopplays1 This isn't an instructional video; I compiled it as part of a match analysis of the Blackburn-Arsenal game earlier this season. Arsenal have traditionally struggled against aerial bombardment so it made a nice change to see them deal so comfortably with it in this fixture, and that's why the video focusses upon that particular aspect of play.

[weatherallc05]

arsenal still have strength, pundits just love to play with stereotypes

[weatherallc05]

wish paul robinson would just fuck off whacking it up field all the time.

[SUPERcheekykiwi1]

i miss the sight of viera towering in the aerial battles of old. i think song is living up to his "Hard Man" tag but ideally requires a little more development in aeriel prowess

[ChamakhhAttackk]

So what exactly do people mean when they say Arsenal dont have enough strength in midfield? when we comfortably got a result here and at Man City where as Chelsea only just scraped a win here and failed against City.

[TacticalRenoog]

@ChamakhhAttackk It's a lazy stereotype, Arsenal have performed very well against the likes of Blackburn and Bolton in recent seasons, Stoke pose a bit more of a threat with their long throws. But it's nothing to do with being outmuscled.

[ChamakhhAttackk]

@TacticalRenoog Yeah true, what people haven't pointed out either is, Chelsea got it wrong against Man City, they played a rigid, similar mf to them and thats where the game was won and lost. And when arsenal played them, although they had 10 men, we have fast,skilfull players and they couldn't deal with Cesc and Nasri.

[weatherallc05]

@TacticalRenoog arsenal arent actually that weak, like against newcastle the referee had a howler. so with referees this bad these days, any team can throw a lead away. its disgraceful, cos when arsenal do get physical a player gets sent off. fair as that!

[1nav]

@weatherallc05 so easy to complain about the ref, newc out played you 2nd half

[deklinjj]

@1nav any team in the world playing with 10 men will get out played, the fact is barton nearly breaks diabys leg and the result is the arsenal player gets sent off. It is no excuse to throw away a 4 goal lead, but the ref sent off the wrong player and it cost arsenal (newcastle would not have scored 4 goals against a full 11 arsenal)

[1nav]

@deklinjj you should watch the match again. clearly you missed the part where diaby choked barton and pushed him to the ground.

[deklinjj]

@1nav how about the part where nolan had his arm around szcesneys neck and pulled him to the ground? both were as bad as each other. You're joking if you think diabys reaction is worse than the actual tackle he received.

[mizzlegizzle]

Cool videos dude. Very fun to watch.

Whats the song in the background?

[TacticalRenoog]

@mizzlegizzle It's "Three Times" by Giacomo

[mizzlegizzle]

@TacticalRenoog

Cheers mate thanks.

[allas11]

this is not football, it is more like a rugbymatch. i alwyas laugh when they say that PL has more pace. i hate when blackburn have a free kick on their own side or a trhow- in they send all men in to the box. this is making the match so slow and ugly

[mafls001]

@allas11 yeah but it sa great way of winning games when not having great players soomethings especially with men like samba upfront , and fascinating watchin the contrast in styles between arsenal and blackburn

[TheJazmander]

your videos are amazing. you deserve much more exposure which i believe you will eventualy get. keep up the amazing work :) gooner for life. btw how long roughly did this video take you to make?

[TacticalRenoog]

@TheJazmander Thanks, I hope so!

Dunno really, I did it over several days, I'd say maybe 3 hours in total.

[asmith00]

@TacticalRenoog

I agree. I never comment on anything, but I really enjoy your blog and vids. Good stuff.

[TacticalRenoog]

@asmith00 Thanks, much appreciated

[yourdad132]

thats it chamakh, hold the fat bastard!

[narlyferrari]

dont stop making these videos. they really are inspiring for an arsenal supporter and someone who wants to know what wenger and his squad work on for hours and days on the training fields. rock on arsenal!

[TacticalRenoog]

@narlyferrari Many thanks, I hope to carry on doing them throughout the season

[fady02]

Your "PL" videos are absolutely amazing. They show the parts of the game that no1 cares about or cares to comment on yet these small parts are so vital!

Keep up the amazing work bro :)

[TacticalRenoog]

@fady02 Thanks!

[mnpoo2]

good vid. this was a big step for arsenal.

[anoneeem]

Chamakh is a badass, i love him.

[CWD4CESC]

Great video mate. Basically shows the reason we won, in my opinion. Completely nullified their aerial and aggressive style and I loved the way Chamakh dealt with Samba. At the beginning of the game it looked like he'd give us problems but when Chamakh came on he couldn't even find an inch of room in the box.

[TacticalRenoog]

@CWD4CESC Yeah, this was a real coming of age game for our team, it was the first time in years I've seen us brush off such a physical side so easily. Chamakh's added a lot of experience, we need more street-wise players like him.

This game made be really proud to be an Arsenal fan.

[RonneniPhone]

Awesome videos, I like the music better with them.

Brilliant full analysis, btw.

[TheJuanvaldez88]

haha chamakh may have gotten away with that one at the end
