Oga,never again should you call my post trash. You can counter if you don't agree.
And if you can't comprehend,na you sabi. I repeat,don't dare call my post trash again.

Bro, it is better Kokane steps on the tail of a lion than to read,digest and agree to any post praising Guen.
The same Guen that scored and bagged MOtM recently is who he is saying hasn't done anything of note in his club.

Bro. .many were bashing the kid here then. Arteta should have harness his ruggedness in a more positive way. 3 games ban? Ok. .Sending him on exile was too extreme. BTW,his assist to Auba against the spurs is still fresh in my memory.

Baba Just like Ozil and every other meaningful football personnel have said, the boy just need a Simone or Klopp type who can harness his ruggedness in a more positive way.

I'm afraid the likes of Saka,Martinelli and Smith Rowe will begin to look ordinary under this football management.

Ma Niggas!

When I said I'm off to Liverpool and enjoying football across Europe, stuffs like this is what I foresaw.
To think 15th is acceptable at my Darling Arsenal, The coach and 90% of these players will be here after January and beyond.

Hope hoping and hoped.

BlueRayDick:
Yeah. Let’s hope we will see a motivated set of players lining up to play this evening

Arteta is inexperienced and also unfortunate to manage the club at a time when poor management structures are in place. I was one of those who campaigned for him, because he [b]looks like someone who is intelligent and principled. I will still give him till end of season. He seems to have a plan and I am interested in knowing how it will work out.[/b] He made a terrible mistake freezing out Ozil after failing to sign an AM. So he has Jan to correct his error, by then we will see how he will do.

Why do I have this feeling most Arsenal fans love Arterta for his looks,
youthfulness and being related with pep.

I do not think it was his decision to freeze ozil. Also
Arsenal have to finish nothing below 7th for him to be applauded, Fa cup or Carabao should not be used as determinant.

sod09:
Yes na

Arterta don suffer.

Of course Emery wasn't the problem neither is/was he the solution, I just hated why everyone was scapegoating,heaping blames and everything on him and leaving the players,board,scouts out of the issue.

My main problem with Emery was trusting useless and average players and also handing Xhaka captain armband.

I no too blame Arterta, the job and Arsenal's problem is too big for him.


Something tells me he'll try to win a trophy this season to cement his job and win over some fans again.

Arsenal need a klopp like manager who will find aggressive strong talented hidden players who can play fast attacking lovely football.

sod09:
Kokaneprodigy, when are we going to ebening page to tender our apology he doesn't the insults.
We were scammed by adete

It is easier for Sod9 to apologize to Wenger than for kokane to do so for Emery... He is a sworn enemy to Emery and Guen.

Who is Adete? Artetta?

Spy360:
Wolves aren't doing well either. I think you are just driven by sentiments. Leicester and Everton are pushing above their weights, they are good examples you can use.

As for Arteta, I think he is playing the fool for the board. They made him freeze out Ozil without replacement, now it's affecting the team and we now believe he is a defensively minded coach simply because he chose to strengthen our defense.

Let me tell you, 15th place would be a dream come true if we had not signed Gabriel and/or Partey and got only Aouar instead. You have not experienced what a bad defense can do, or probably you have forgotten the calamitous tears we had when our defenders became clowns every night despite that we were scoring goals.

The problem with this team is simply the lack of an AM and the fact that the DM we signed isn't playing. That's why I can forgive Arteta's errors as this team is so balanced. Once Jan is over and we have an AM and Partey returns from injury, then I expect this team to do a lot better.

The bolded is not true, Signing a Sanchez and Carzola esque in LW/AM won't make Arsenal sit in 15th never.
The defense would be settled and will defend with calmness if the forwards can bury 2goals in first half.

After Mc Tomimay scored 2 yesterday, I saw Leeds mount pressure on utd's defence, but their attackers kept on countering the pressure on Leeds defence till they scored more and more.
If Only Leeds buried their chances, it could have ended 6-5 and that's better than losing 1-0 and no sign of your team looking like scoring even if much time is to be added.

Even When Mustafi was commuting errors. We were still scoring and winning games.

All this shalaye upanda no go finish, I told y'all last year, This football club is not worth your heart and emotions..

Y'all have suffered a lot with Arsenal and should be enjoying good football with trophies occasionally.

Here are some problems I expect all to have seen now:
Arterta... Too inexperienced and not ready for a big club with a big problem like Arsenal.

Players...[/b]Too many average, poor and lazy players ( relying on Martinelli and Saka to push Arsenal up is a joke, they should be eased in IMO.

Scouts..They are so poor and blind to discover hidden talents accros the world

[b]Academy The likes of Willock,Nelson and Nketiah are not as inspiring like the Walcott,RVp,Cesc,Eboue and Wilshire of those days

Fans...Most fans are delusional, they love and pamaper shits too much, I won't be surprised if they start singing praises and call for contract extension for the likes of Xhaka and Bellerin after dropping 1 good performance in January

The board.They are never willing to support financially, so expect Loans, Free and cheap buys.

The truth is I don't see Arsenal make top4 in recent times, they are midtable team at best and a local league Cup contender( 6/7 games mostly against lower teams).

iamoyindamola:
Who will start #artetaout movement

If we look around europe, one could find a young coach who understandsquality football and players.
I mean the type that will freeze out these bad/average lots and bring in hidden talents who are ready to die on the pitch at a cheaper rate.

Auba missed the game with an injury on tight calf, well, he's been missing since he signed the contract.

Shameful

BTW

Jencejyde:
In all honesty what I think arteta needs to do is be more vocal . Call out lazy players and demand relentless effort and attitude . The second half showed that if everyone came in with the Saka Attitude, we may not still have played the best football but we would most certainly be in the ascendancy for most periods with more that enough chances to secure maximum points.

The way they were walking on the pitch at times was infuriating. This is Arsenal at home and Southampton has so much time on the ball to the extent of having superior ball possession? It's a disgrace for any team other than the traditional four to have more of the ball than Arsenal at the emirates.

And why has our pressing disappeared and become disjointed? Is pressing so hard or are these players just flat out lazy. If any player can not work his socks off over 90 minutes then the manager should be brave enough to drop him

I like miguel azzeez and folarrin nd boy do I miss martinelli.

I'm also a bit disappointed that Arteta who learned under Pep with the same philoshopy is bowing to pressure of changing his style due to poor performances. I'd rather that he sticks to his philosophy of having possession to create chances from open play which is the type of football arsenal is know for. If any of the senior players are to lazy to perform . Be like mourhino and publicly call them out and use other players.

These guys are paid good money and this performances should not be tolerated. Even if we end up in a relegation dogfight. Let's know that the eleven we put on the pitch will play their hearts out . Liverpool do not have the classiest players but the most hardworking ones who will run for 90 minutes sticking to their plan. If we need to move forward the players coming in must embrace the culture and the present ones must be re orientated . No team respects Arsenal again and it's clear to see why cos the players are not ready to put in a shift. It's a ruthless league and only the strong survive.

Neways we move!

When we say Arsenal's problem is deep, the bolded is another pressing issue, who knows if Aour,Partey and Shobolaiz won't adopt the slow insipid weak style culture we see at the Emirates..

Sanchez was the last I saw never stopped his energetic style of play when he arrived.

I would never like allow the big boys,star boys celebrities and billionaires in my team.

Watch how Doucoure,Allan,Iwobi and Richarlison will run Arsenal down with work rate..
Virtually all teams in England are no slouch, push over or weaklings.

I don't know if the coach isn't bothered about this though.

kokanepyramid:
Come off it, With a strong attack and average defence which was what we had , we won’t go over 5 games without winning, we won’t go the whole November with only penalty to show for it.

No team has won anything with a below average attack, below average midfield and strong defence.

I dey feel you bro.. Even though we go still fight

Spy360:
Permit me to rephrase my comment.

Our problem in attack is not the attackers but the midfielders. We have absolutely no midfield as there is no attack creation from there. So don't blame the defensive issues on the attackers. Saka has been outstanding, b7t when you see Aubameyang goal, you know he is not a small finisher, he only needs to do less ball work and focus on scoring. But that can only happen when someone else in midfield is doing that ball work. Our problem this season has been in midfield. Our failure to sign an AM has been our undoing.

Please refer to Roland17 post above for more clarification.

Maybe because I sometimes refer AM to as attackers.

Spy360:
Our problem lies in midfield not attack ... Using Gabriel's red for arguments is a cheap score

Take Saka out of the attack and you'll see it is Zero even if you add 3 Partey's in midfield.

You see that Dnepo and Redmond troubling that defence, it is a matter of time the defence crash or we concede

Now, do we have any one disturbing them upfront NO

Gabriel turning a Mustafi, this is what happens when the attack is dull and opposition pressures defense..

Even Walcott

[quote author=kodded post=97120918]thankfully January transfer window will soon open, but by now i expected them to have a locked down target but so far so good no concrete rumour anywhere, las las them go sign eriksen on deadline day [/quote]
Bro, no put your heart there, T.windows are another fresh depressing times for Arsenal fans.
Expect the usual free, loans and Teenagers on deadline day.

Spy360:
Some coaches are just not suited to handling pressure like in big clubs, for example Moyes. But no doubt Nuno is a brilliant coach.

True though.
But I feel if allowed to get rid of big men not willing to work hard and bring his players like in wolves, there's chance he'll get it right.

mostob:
My brother, the thing vex me . I think I and Jodera were discussing here on how it is a gamble to sign Aouar that there is nothing special about him. And Szoboszlai and Benrhama were both available for less fee. Arsenal's scouts no just get sense. what pains more is their interference with the coach's decision. Emery wanted Zaha, they gave him Pepe.....and many others i can't even remember .

Just because Pepe's fee will be played in installment and there was a big offer for Iwobi to balance the financial books.
That was another big mistake still haunting till date.

ORIJIN201:
God bless you. The worst part of everything is that Our players are not even physical at all. They fall all over the pitch. We need athletic players and not all these mumu fine boys wey nothing Dey their yansh.

Aameen..
Baba I dey feel you, if there's one reason I like Iwobi, it's his physique,energy and directness...Arsenal needed an upgrade like Zaha for him.
In fact, everyone here knows how much I I fancy Physical athletic players over these softies sexy boys we parade.

Jodera2:
Yeah... With the way the guy dribbles in tight spaces eh, it's surprising. I saw him do that once in a match, I thought it was a fluke, seeing him do that on another occasion, I then knew there's something about that boy. And his passes too are great. It's good he came and the right time wen Milan had stability, else it would have been detrimental to his growth

Do not be surprised You guys better eyes than the Arsenal scouts, they're busy monitoring Erikson, Joginho and Siggurdson on loan for January

Spy360:
Yes I can confirm that. Their scouting is just superb. They even got Semedo on loan when no one was looking. I think their performance boils down to the coach. Players like AMN and Torriera who have that work rate will thrive under such managers.

With some more money at Arsenal, I believe Nuno will push us up.

iamoyindamola:
My brother showed me podence when he was in olypiakos I think against spurs. I never paid attention until wolves paid for his service even with his injury.
I watched his first match in wolves colour fear catch me, I asked who is this no10 guy he said shebi that's the podence he was talking about.
We need scouts like that not the useless one that will give us Pepe and Chelsea rejects

Arsenal scouts are a reflection of what's wrong with Arsenal.. Zero seriousness

olabode89:
Wolves don't do extensive scouting, they implement an agent led recruitment system spearheaded by Jorge Mendes the super agent. Most of their signings are guys with links to Mendes.

I like what they do, no big boys egos or billionaire in the team..just players ready for straight business in the pitch.

ORIJIN201:
the thing I love about them the most is how hard they work. They work so hard and frustrate opponents. Movement is superb too. But our own chickens will stay stagnant in one position be waiting for sideway passes. Useless bunch!

The bolded I've noticed from Wenger(last years) to Emery and Arterta.. I think this is a function of the players and not coach, I don't want to believe any coach will set up to play that drab football.
For me, I feel this can only be solved by bringing in Sanchez and Kante like players who can run, cover grounds and willing to receive the ball ..or how do you think this can be solved?

Spy360:
I just love Wolves players. So much confidence, gusto, determination, drive...

Coupled with how they scout low key fine players.
I wanted Nuno to replace Emery ahead of Arterta, dude knows how to build that drive, strength and believe into his players.

ORIJIN201:
See Neto. Another fantastic player in the mould of Jota I clamored we sign last season. We go sign Pepe wey no wan get sense. Neto is there now, we go prefer we squander money on another useless player.

You sef sabi Jota too? I was willing to risk Auba's sell for Jota.
Another player I fancy at Wolves is Podence, he is hazard esque in that LW, watch the likes of utd or spurs snap them up for fee around £20M, while we keep trusting the process of Nelson
