You are not getting the point here, you want the defence out but we are telling you that's the last problem.
Where was the midfield when attackers are struggling to get goals, apart from auba which attacker of arsenal have 15 goals and assist combine.
Attack wise or defence wise what did the midfield do?
The defence you complained about scored about 7 goals and midfield only had 2 goals.

iamoyindamola:
Yes the defence that conceded 8-2, 6-3, 6-0, 10-2 etc
Is that one defence?
Apart from individual mistake these ones does they don't concede anyhow.
Below are the cricket score wengay defence dish us tell me how do you survive that and claim these present defence didn't try

Jodera:
no they won't. Tierney will replace kola and sokratis is never a 1st team player under Arteta.

Emery made them clowns. From next season, the only person I might be afraid of been a clown in starting 11 is luiz, but then it comes occasionally.
Luiz, Mari, Saliba, holding, chambers.
I believe they'll all do a decent work.

But you see that midfield and attack, I'm afraid esp if auba isn't spectacular as this season

iamoyindamola:
Bro let's do something, we should rate this defence and midfield to the one wengay have been parading.
I think we can agree this defence is not the worst but the midfield is way terrible compare to wengay's days

Jodera:
OK, I apologize for the first paragraph.

But the 2nd I disagree, I categorically asked if they'll concede 8 which was under 90mins not across 180min.
So far you haven't brought any, so that 7-0 doesn't count. The highest they conceded in their lowest ebb was 4(half of the

iamoyindamola:
The midfield hardly contribute to attack or defence
Xhaka na confirm follow come anywhere belle face, I have headache watching him trying to pick out a player than mustafi defending

Jodera:
1..As long as it's not kola or papa Manning the back.

2.. As long as the goal scored is a clownish goal(you don't expect us to go throughout next season without conceding, do you?)

So deal?

Jodera:
Lol...
That's 7-0 on both legs
I asked for a single leg.

Even big teams with good defence lose and concede by 4 or 3 goals every now and then.

N.b... This is me negating the fact that their chief coach was battling with his life with cancer

Jodera:
Exactly, bar sokratis and kola. I don't know who in that defence will be giving us headache week in week out.
Even mustafi markedly improved under Arteta.


But you see that midfield and attack... If auba no score, na just "so help me God" I go dey talk. And is not as if we get goalscoring defenders sef.

Jodera:
You just proved our point. Good midfield and attack grant you top 4, defence and squad depth win you league.

With the shitty defence, they still sat comfortably in 2nd. That's to tell you good midfield and attack can carry you far(top 4), but there's a limit it can do(esp in a competitive league).
Liverpool under klopp before van dijk is another very good example

Jodera:
Random question I want to ask.
If a prime busquets, xavi and iniesta was in that midfield with same defence of yesterday, would the scores have reached 8??

iamoyindamola:
Chelsea conceded more than arsenal and they entered top4
Tottenham conceded less than Chelsea but didnt

Jodera:
why I agree with the bolded that it's not what we should be proud of. I would also add that 1.46 goals scored is not something we should be proud of too.

Also, I think in terms of our defenders walking straight into other elite teams, I've debunked that before.

Also, Liverpool trio forwards have chunks of goals and assist amongst them(firmino, tho didn't score much this season but he assisted), while their defenders are their creative hub to compensate for the midfield. For us, nada!

While I respect your opinion about our defence been bad, I feel you're not putting things in perspective.

But it's all good. We all have our different opinions

Jodera:
I get you. But I know it's not just the defence but the system.
Can we put things into context.. How many goals did we concede under Emery vs how many goals we concede under Arteta this season?. Mind you, it's same defence both had and used.

Aside auba, who was our go-to guy in terms of goals.
Also this season have been the worst season I know in terms of goals contributions across our midfield and attack. Aside auba, nobody have double digits, and you think that didn't affect our chances. Heck across the midfield, we churned out, is it 2 goals or 1 sef?

And it's unfair using pepe of last season wen we know they're different leagues was the stats you brought out.

Akinbahm:
Baba if our attackers keep bottling chances upfront the way Barca did yesterday our defense will still look fragile.

...do you ever thought of why Man city bought Ake first before getting Sane replacement, they did so because their attackers is still among Top 5 deadly attack in world of football.

Lastly Bayern was able to dismantled Barca yesterday because their attackers buried any slight chance that showed up...

Spy360:
8-2

Even if you have Messi, Suarez and Griezmann in your attack, if you don't sort out your defence, experiences like this would be inevitable.

8-2.

atjo:
Please does anyone knows the new date for the ciiexams

odizeey:
He still dey form Mr capable na. The guy no go gree

odizeey:
Messi is the problem of Barca. He does not want to make way for the up coming.

Ronaldinho made way for him, he should make way too.

Leave or be disgraced out.

Hazardfan1:
Lol

Barca team that has Almighty Messi.

Jodera:
is this necessary cos I don't get

pamcode:
You guys seem to be more ruthless than Barcelona and your team has multiple in form players that can hurt Barca. Whereas Barca only has Messi with the others out of form or inconsistent and it is known that Messi can be caged. Bayern would create more chances and if they are clinical a final and perhaps a 6th Champions league is on the way cos I don't see Man City defeating Bayern.

Hathor5:
But then you wouldn't have this feeling of satisfaction in the evening and you wouldn't mingle with the many interesting people you meet at work. I would go crazy if I didn't have to work.
