This Barcelona v Sociedad game is a testament to why fast sharp attack can take you up and far..

The barca defense to me has been average, but the attack of braithwhite, Griezman and Memphis have been explosive.

Arsenal need to get in at least 3 players who are fit,strong,powerful, energetic and very good at progressing and Using the ball in the attacking front.

I grew up knowing Arsenal as Arsene Wenger.

His approach to games.
His calmness whether we score or concede.
His animations with his jacket.
His french accent.

If Wenger was to be the coach, we would have still lost, but then he would calm us down with the POSITIVES grin

...and one thing is sure next, we would go on a 10game winning streak with much better intensity even if we have Chelsea and City next games.
I loved and adopted this behavior from Wenger smiley

Im not suprised in the resukt yesterday, A £60 million maddison was needed in that match over a £50 million ben white.



I see no reason why saliba can not be given a chance when the likes of mari and holding are in the squad undecided

The only positives in this loss is that it will force the club to bring in a more experienced CAM like maddison, but even maddison is not enough because we still need a winger that will mount the LW position, because as it stands, Pepe, Nelson, Abuneyang, ESR, willian and martinelli are not ready yet for that LW position at all, infact the only creatuve force we have in that left is from Tierney, and that has been one of our major problem since last season, such a shame that arteta was blind to see it.

Now the season has not even started and we have continued to rely on young saka again, such a shame from a club that had over £75million to spend in the summer sad
Everything 100% summarized in details.

Madison
Podence and a good CM would have gone a long way.

He use euro to deceive una agian grin grin grin
IFL Xhaka scores 5 goals in this game, I will still not want him in my team... Xhaka in the heart of your midfield in a high paced league like premiership is a disaster

Xhaka has a way of flattering to deceive, 3/4/5 few games he will do well and some fans will want his contract extended.

Arterta has poor taste of players, how the hell will you extend Xhaka's block his transfer 2ce.

I've never seen arsenal have such a poverty number coming from midfield in my entire support of arsenal. Tueh!!
I just happy say Jerry curl no follow join the mess lass year cheesy...Boda Kokayn would have pinned everything on him all season on here sad
If Arsenal dey serious, all the midfled should have been cleared, only Partey and Smith Rowe should be the only surviving players in that midfield.

We have one of the most disorganized team in the league

Our midfders can't protect defenders, they cant create chances, they cant score goals. All they do is to pass backwards and sideways.

Our attackkers, especially when it is the trio of pepe, abuameayang and lacazette are so disorganized that you have to ask yourself if these guys did trained together.

If not for young saka and ESR we were already showing relegation form last season.
PAL trio is overhyped. It’s all fantasizing that when they play together we’d be great. It can't be even be debated that Saka has outperformed all of them last season.

Bwahahaha... Which one be Dino melayenous again? grin
Na greek version of Melaye?? grin

What you said is true. While maybe I might agree for saka to even be rotating with Pepe at least. But ESR isn't ready yet to Mann that Am for a whole season. How dey want to kill to kids with adult's responsibility is beyond me.

Auba at the wings again na another wahala.

We still don't have goal scoring midfielder(s) yet, weak wings and weak Cf(in lacazette). I wonder were the goals will come from for us.

To me, we fit manage carry-along xhaka for midfield, but you see scoring and creative Am and at least one scoring and creative winger (either left or right), it's what is really needed at least for now
We can then build from there
No be me first call him Dino Melaye here na cheesy

How you and some of us who are mere fans understand these simple stuffs than the scammers at the Emirates is beyond me.

I tell you...
I remember arguing in man u thread then how klopp was building a formidable team and showing massive progress but people were looking at the Carling cup final, Uel and UCL final losses to call them loserpool. Now, they're one of the forces to be reckoned with

As for the bolded, if arsenal have such players eh, even if we carry holding and chambers as our 5&6, while bellerin and Tierney is manning our fullback positions, I go just know say top 4 sure me.

You can imagine how just two 2 quality players just gave us hope for top 4. But now arsenal have signed 3 players, yet we still dey jittery how this season go be grin

Reason why that 50m dey vex me(not necessarily Ben White himself)
The moment I saw Arsenal not addressing the
LW......( Auba is a dirty at the wings, Saka for me isn't ready yet to man down that wing for a whole year) AM...(ESR isn't ready yet also to shoulder that responsibility for a whole year)
CM...Xhaka too average going forward.

I knew it will end it tears again this year, £50M on a defender, honestly, I'll rather call Dino Melayeponous, and Saliba back than spend anything on defense.

I never really wanted to join this discussion, but that bolded just made me change my mind.

We all agree that attack wins you games but defence win you league. While we all agree on that quote but I think it's the interpretation that you're not getting right.
Firstly, for you to win the league, you have to WIN GAMES FIRST.
We know that a team can win games yet can't win the league but no one can win the league without winning games. So in essence, what the breaking down of that quote is that you should settle your attack (which will win you games and take you to the top) before doing the last process which is strengthening your defence to win the league (that extra push required to win the league). While you're taking the quote in isolation, but in essence, that quotes are together.

Examples...
When klopp wanted to rebuild his team, he had to buy mane first(his big signing to bolster his attack). His next big signing was wijnaldum(another attack/midfield). Still he didn't sign any big signing defence.
After wijnaldum his next big signing is Salah.

Now look at the trajectory. Mane took them from perennial 8/9th to 4th. While mane, salah took them from 4th to 2nd. Now this was the height attack will bring you too. Tho they concede goals, but Attack more than make up for the wins to ensure top4.
Now that extra push for top 4 to win the league was what prompted the defence, and there goes Van dijk. He (along with attack) push dem from 4th to 2nd(a touching distance to first) and a Cl final. Since the puzzle wasn't complete, a good keeper was needed, and there comes Allison. Trajectory complete. A league and a cl league to boot.

You might say, van dijk went to injury last season to prove your point why they struggled to get 3rd. But the good thing is that dey got 3rd with their attack. Now imagine a Liverpool without mane, salah, firnino and jota, but van dijk, Arnold, matip and Robertson. Even 5th dem no go see(na just 8-10th).

That's what is exactly playing at in arsenal

I know say e long, but I just need to explain
100% on point.
My point that year till date..
In fact that's the reason I fell in love with Liverpool..
I wanted Arsenal to follow that model by bringing in a good LW,AM and an hardworking CF who could also score goals like Jota. But they hid the truth by calling them Loserpool
I wanted Jota,Zaha,Carrasco,Inaki Williams even Anthony Knockert.
Baba in fact you finish the analysis on why attack can push us up.

Imagine an attack of Podence,Madison,Martinelli,
Pepe,Saka and ESR. With Auba/Laca fighting for CF.

How long did it take City and Chelsea to sign Lukaku and Grealish from the moment they decided to buy them? A few days at most.. when you saw the reports in the media, 2 days later the deals were done..

When they see a player they want, they sign him. Arsenal keep on negotiations forever. They don’t even have a real target.. They just wait for who is available. Even after finishing 8th, twice in a row.

And they say the money isn’t a problem.. did Chelsea move on Abraham before signing Lukaku? No.. they don’t wait for that nonsense. Tuchel said today that he had 43 first team players. They don’t care at all. I hate all those excuses all the time at Arsenal..
