Let him enjoy the slow paced Bundesliga that matches his slow decision making.

Na siddon look I dey.. Folks want to argue because of the compulsive desire to be right.. Well, na una win oh..

I Don even tire for the back and forth. Hopefully another win in our next match takes away the tiring arguments with it

Akinbahm:
Bro, BlueRayDick in all honesty do you have confidence in our attackers and you believe these young lads could take us far since u said Areta buried the attack.

If Yes, let's die down the argument on Attack/Defence argument.

If No, then our major problem lies on attack which is obviously visible...

Note: I hope we fans wont get carried away with just 3 win in a rows.

You need to define what u mean by "the young lads taking us far ". The best Arsenal can get this season is Europa league place next season or going to the Champions league vide by winning this year's Europa. If we agree first on our expectations, then we can then move on and talk about whether this current team with less injury can achieve this and more.

This current arsenal team is work in progress, we still need to add AM, we need to do something about RB with Bellerin's inconsistent display, we still need to get a decent striker with Auba on a decline and Nketiah refusing to step his game up.....etc.

Some of us are not expecting miracle especial when we know we have a rookie manager in charge

Jodera:
You're even making my point. Point is, he been very OK that's past games alongside Mari. Why, not because Mari is so exceptional like Gabriel, but because the attack and midfield have improved considerably. That's the reason the "trashy" holding is even among those keeping clean sheets

You are actually making the point for us that our attack and midfield is bad because Arteta has been bad at his team selection and approach to matches.

afrodoc2:
If you guys doubt it let Arteta become unfortunate again and start playing Willian, Pepe and 5 man defense if you guys won't drop like bitcoin.

Don't mind them. Na agenda dem just dey push; na the same players wey dey here since September still dey no addition whatsoever. The oy visible reason why we no longer play trashy is because Arteta has changed his approach to matches by starting players that are beat fit for it each position they should rightly occupy.

Akinbahm:
You still end up agreeing to our claim so no point engaging you further.

Last question, the current attackers are they good enough to ditching it out good week in week out?

At this point only u knows what point u are trying to claim insisting Gabriel is an unnecessary buy when he's arguably been one of our best players this season.

As regards Ur question there's a reason why there's 2 different transfer window in a season. The management will look at where they feel the team is lacking and try to strengthen the squad in that department. Presently Arsenal is being linked with Julian Brandt of Dortmund who is an AM most people have been clamouring for, hopefully we get him or somebody better in that position.

If we have Partey back and fit we have more options in midfield just like we have more options in attack with the comeback of Martinelli. Slow and steady wins the reason.

Most of u think a team that has not qualified for champions league in 2 seasons straight will just from nowhere start challenging for the league while other teams are also not sleeping. It takes gradual process to weed useless players out and bring more quality players in.

Akinbahm:
I said I wont delve into this agreement anymore but u forced me to again. Dont you think you just shoot yourself with what u wrote up there?

I want to ask just 2 questions.

1: Those young lads you mentioned can they do it alone through out the season and do you believe they have to be eased in in order not to dent their career at tender age?

2: Those defenders we called clowns were in the squad in our last 3 games we won do they suddenly turn to world class?

The attackers suddenly made them good small now imagine if kids could made them look like that what would a proven attackers do which we clamored for?

Note: Gabriel was a good addition but not at the expense of ignoring attack completely...

What is this one saying

Do u even know the defenders we referred to as clowns to start with? Did u see any of them in the team that has won against Chelsea, Brighton and West Brom?

My post was clear and had no agenda laden in it unlike urs. The team has improved because Arteta has been getting his selection right.

If Arteta wants to undo everything he's doing let him choose these same attackers and let him pair Mustafi and Chambers, let's see how well that will end.

The only reason Gabriel is not playing is cos of COVID-19. He has done exceptionally well in the games he's played. Any other thing aside this is just emotional sentiments.

Arsenal's resurgence in recent times is hinged on more than 1 factor like some us want to believe ;

1.There's the factor of Tierney being allowed the freedom of roaming and being let fly on the left wing. He's no longer being wasted in the LCB role that has not yielded much for us in the recent past.

2. There's the factor of Saka being used in RWF where he can easily do opposing defenders dirty and cut in either playing shot or making a decent cross to our attackers. Thus far he's been flourishing there.

3. There's the Martinelli factor and the great press he affords the team upfront. Nobody has given that much press prior to his comeback from injury.

4. Then the introduction of Smith-Rowe who is hungry and ready to do both the dirty work and smooth pay to cement a place in the team has really been a good boost for the team.

In all what we can see is that Arteta has not been playing to the team's strength prior to now. Let's hope he will not undo everything by Imposing Willock and Willian on the team.going forward

sod09:
He's responsible by buying excess defenders instead of improving other departments

Gabriel as shown he's not excess defender.

Can u tell me when last any of our CB's was voted the arsenal player of the month?

Maybe Arteta is at fault for retaining so many deadwood CB's and actually not successful in his push for AM, but hehas no blame for adding a quality CB like Gabriel to our team

sod09:
Without Gabriel remember
Now that's to show the defence wasn't that useless as you all painted it then.
All they needed was good midfield that know their work

Arsenal won Man utd with Gabriel in defence. Whatever agenda u are trying to agendate with this "without Gabriel" is dead on arrival because arsenal won Man utd With Gabriel being the big man in defence.

You are just stylishly deflecting from the fact that Arteta was responsible for Arsenal's woes.

sod09:
Bro do you believe with this present line up if we add VVD and koulibally to play city, Liverpool or wolves we go chop goals belleful?

No they won't. The present team without VVD and Koulibally has beaten loserpool twice and also beat Man city as well.

The coach just needs to get the best out of his team and we will be doing well. The coach needs to play the right players in the right positions and bin players that are trashy. Any opposition that sees Saka and Martinelli in RWF and LWF respectively has some serious headache to deal with because he needs to imprint it on his guys to worry about those 2 while still telling them to attack us.

If Arteta gets his act right we certainly don't need to break the bank before we start doing well again.

sod09:
We are not pushing any agenda just stating the obvious, until the midfield is sorted out even VVD and koulibally can't save arsenal defence.
There was a season mertersacker and Kos helped sczeny win golden glove, not because they were the best pair in the league but because the midfield was so good.
Mustafi have been out of the way but we still concede and drink goals, it's obvious defence wasn't the problem. What's the point of having over 8Cbs and only 2 will start

What u are doing is giving selective facts while ignoring others.

1. Arsenal didn't buy any new midfielder that won us the last 3 matches. Arteta improvised with the options he had at his disposal and we are suddenly winning 3 matches back to back to back.

2. Gabriel's impact is obvious for all to see as he's won the best player at Arsenal for 3 different months in his first year in a different league.

3. You honestly don't want to see what the pairing of Luiz and Mustafi can do to a good team with decent midfielders. You can check some of the matches last year and see how trashy CB's can spoil the whole work of the entire team. I will never forgive Luiz for the man city game last season when he gave the ball away and also got red carded. I don't know how u people forget all these things and suddenly we think Mustafi, Luiz and other clowns are decent defenders

4. I see someone talking about holding "holding" our defence along with Pablo Mari. ( I think that's Jodera). Honestly Holding is trash from the games I've watched recently ; he's just being carried along. His judgement with the ball are just too questionable. If not that having 2 left footed CB would be out of place, I would've suggested he be binned straight away.

sod09:
The issue was buying more defenders when he could have gotten better midfielder. Do you believe good midfield will ease defence affairs and also improve attack?
Some of us like me think buying Gabriel was not necessary considering the number of defender we have instead of going for attacking midfielder.
I'm not saying Gabriel is not good but was that the main priority?
A case study is presently, he isn't playing and we winning with CS everyone know arsenal defenders are clowns but if we have better midfielders to ease the pressure on them they will make less mistake.
As it stand now even if we have VVD and koulibally in defence we will still concede stupid goals because my problem lies in that midfield of xhaka especially and his partner.
When last did you see arsenal dominate midfield against big team?

You are just trying to promote an agenda that is not going to agendate with this talk of midfield vs defence.

1. At the time we got Gabriel we had an injured Chambers, a misfit called Mustafi, an injured Pablo Mari and a senior clown called David Luiz. All these are CB's with whom we did bad defensively last season. The coach making a call for a solid CB that will strengthen our defensive position is not out of place in anyway.

2. What Afrodoc is saying is quite visible for us all to see. Arsenal was losing earlier in the year not because Arteta chose to strengthen defense ahead of midfield, rather it's because Arteta was playing the wrong set of players and wrong formation/ wrong tactics. To confirm this ask urself if Arsenal signed another midfielder within the space of the last 3 weeks before we got back to winning ways ; the answer is what u should focus on.

3. That Arsenal is winning while Gabriel is out has nothing to do with Gabriel being an unnecessary buy when he was bought. Gabriel did not cause an own-goal, he's not always drawn out of position like Mustafi always does etc. The match he got the red card we saw how he was over burdened with so much defensive duties that he was almost everywhere trying to stop the oppositions attacking moves.


I don’t appreciate the fact that Pablo Mari is playing well in Gabriel’s absence and we are trying to use that push anti-Gabriel’s buy agenda. O wrong now

Roland17:
To watch Willock can give pesin depression

Seeing him play pisses me off

Spy360:
The goal was too sweet, VAR refused to check...

I like it!

4-0 now!

Despite Arsenal playing well, Auba is playing rubbish!

Second goal made in Hale end!

Beautiful goal by Tierney

Arteta has gone back to this rubbish pattern of playing Auba on the wings while Martinelli is languishing on the bench

I should cook fried rice tomorrow. It's been long I cooked fried rice mehn.

You really need to avoid replying those trolls in 2021; that's the only way u get them to stop.

Replying them makes u appear vulnerable to their antics. Immediately I saw ur post I knew one or two of the ediots will probably try to troll u, but I was expecting u not to reply them......... I think this 2021 u need to just post ur food and worry less about the disapproval of insignificant trolls hovering around the thread. Do away with the negative energy they exude jare and keep serving us better eye catching meals
