Dominique please come and delete this useless thread, I know you an arsenal fan but this werey club pepper the creator of the thread he had to deactivate

daveP:
Those 3 subs by Arteta was off. Very off. I wonder what crap Ceballos did on the pitch today. He existed so useless that Guendozi was seen as efficient today. Also Sead as well. 3points couldave taken this mediocre team to 5points off Chelsea. But now, expect them to go 11th after today.

Mr Spy and some fans were happy to see 442, I ask, Are Ceballos and Gendozi like Viera and Gilberto? Who are big,dominant and commanding to boss the physical Brighton? Not even the physical Xhaka and small Torreira(though good) has dominated any midfield like the invincibles.

Also Auba and Lava are no Henri and Bergkamp, none is good with the ball nor mobile enough to cause problems to opposition defense.

SAED kola, remains one of the Wenger's left over we are struggling with. Agbaya with big body and never Arsenal standard.

Roland17:
Baba abeg leave Ebening out of this loss.

I talk am from the start say we were disjointed and the strategy employed by Arteta was not functional..

Well, @DaveP and my brother @Spy say make I no worry say na the latest tactic in town and na tactical fluidity. I kukuma allow the matter die na.

Arterta is untouchable, let's continue to blame Emery jare.

Once you see Arterta's fluidity football click, OMG,not even ghen ghen klopp press can stop us.

Be patient, Arterta is slowly working things out.

iamoyindamola:
If you no wan make Ogun kill you and your family, please don't associate me with this useless club again.
Useless players
Useless management
Useless legends
Useless owners
The only crime was to support this oloshi club, well not any more

My brother, let's be patient, Arterta is slowly bringing us back to glory days, this is how klopp started.
Don't forget he is turning Saka to Sterling, Nelson to Sane(you can see the hairdo ) and Willock to Guondogan.

Have you forgotten Ozil and Xhaka will return and put us back on form.

Bro, no be like Fkhalifa wey wan join Liverpool after getting tired of this pass me I pass you football, he is plastic fan.

Dangote will come next year and the glory days will be back.

Fluidly football Arterta ball

kokaneprodigy:
We are still suffering from Emery’s uncoordinated signings. His signings were not strategic at all.

I blame Emery

Spy360:
It's like we are playing 442

...........................Leno.............................
Bellerin... Mustafi.. Holding.. Kolasinac
Pepe... Ceballos....... Guendouzi.. Saka
.......... Lacazette ....... Aubameyang......

We better score first, else Brighton will surely sit back, and Sitting back to counter this line up means our defence will be exposed.

Roland17:
It 's a big shame that we don't have the courage to tell him the truth. I mean it is very obvious he needs to go, at this point even faster than Mustafi!

He will score a good freeckick, header and give a MOTM performance when he returns and all will be forgotten by Arsenal and fans

mostob:
As it is now, i won't mind Sanchez at arsenal. All our players bar Martinelli are bunch of weaklings

A sorry case of physical and mental weakness.

Even Gervinho still look a proper player

We replace deadwood with super deadwood, so the cycle continues, season after season.

We had a decent defender in Gabriel, we let him go, got Socrates and now ho ho ho Luiz.

We let go Debuchy and brought Lich. and now Soares.

We let go Coquelan and brought Xhaka and who knows who we will hire next.

Let go Wallcot, brought Lucas Perez.

Let go Iwobi, brought Pepe for 72M??

Let go Ismael Bennacir, Gnarby, Jeff Rene, retained Nelson,Willock,Nketiah.

Eagerly awaiting more super deadwood joining us – Smalling, Willian, Lovren, if you know some more just inform Raul and me!

Culled from *Loose Cannon.*

I laughter at the bolded

kodded:
apart from martinelli and ceballos, all others will still give you the same result


by the way torreira was still out injured

Ozil and Pepe have failed against top teams, they are not Iniesta/Neymar that could have been missed.

Where was Ozil and Pepe when it mattered most against Olympiacos at the Emirates?

I agree Torreia is a miss, but white kante sef don chop lots of cricket loss in big games

kokaneprodigy:
direct ur questions to Solomonbrown64, spy360 and Fkhalifa

where are the all these sport section mail delivery boys Sef?

No sane manager should start Geun/,Willock for a competitive team away against top teams. But its not like we have a Kante/Winaldum to displace them.

But even with them Xhaka and all, City has been putting 3 past us.So it will make no difference.

Nezzjnr:
Rome wasn't built in a day bro

If we sell them... Who are the Players that will Teach the Young ones the game of football

The Senior players are yet to master basics of football from 3 different managers now, what will they teach the young lads?

They are not Viera,Henri and Ljumberg.

kodded:
but Luiz was not definitely not on form that's why arteta left him in the bench



but xhaka

Its not about form for Luiz.

Luiz will play his long balls, do some good stuffs but will surely ruin it in a kind of way, and that you won't see in top defenders like Maguire, V.dijk,Larporte et al, they hardly commit those deciding game errors.

As for Xhaka, let him continue to flatter some fans, he'll still cost us in a crucial time/game of the season.

Nezzjnr:
What's wrong with you

Because I don't share the same ideology with you??

Your ideology is anti progress for this team.
You're a troll not a fan.

kodded:
sold.

all the senior players bar Leno should be sold

those boys showed more passion in the game than those men

That guy is pulling your legs, shine eye

How a true fan be suggesting space for Luiz and Xhaka?

Nezzjnr:
As a true Gunner.... I still feel Luiz will still come good for us

This dude wasn't fit... Let us accommodate him in the team and see how he excels


COYG

You're not a gunner abeg.

iamoyindamola:
Train MBA, these fvckers would rather pose for the camera in training...why won't they have injury
They are not fit at all awon werey

You see correct players like Sanchez, you'll know this is modern football player. Not those sexy London boy lifestyle players you see today.

Spy360:
Guendouzi's performance was awful but only Leno and Mustafi were better on the night.

Leno, Mustafi and Ceballos, the rest looked amateurs

iamoyindamola:
What do you really want Arteta to do with the useless players he have at hand.
Atleast he haven't done any transfer yet

He seemed okay with what he has.

kodded:
my dear the matter tire me



I wish arteta can just offload all of them including abua , make we start afresh next season,


seeing nkeitah running for the ball while our captain just dey man city corner flag dey observe match like spectator

Auba will be useless on the wings but will score 2 from the flanks in the next game and fans will forget and support him back to the wings.

Sterling and mahrez are example of natural wingers, you see what they did to us. Tierney and Bellerin couldn't overlap.

Spy360:
All these comedy errors from Arsenal players must stem from the soft approach of our coaches and board.

Mistakes happen, yes but not comedy. When players begin to get fines and suspensions for comedy then they would be more serious and focused.

You hardly see a Mourinho player make comedy errors.

But fans believe we should be patient with Aterta over them, that he is gradually changing them from the era of errors to something new and better.

kodded:
a serious club shouldn't be using inexperienced players like guenduozi, willock, saka, nkeitah, martinelli and Nelson in their starting line up but when you realize that this young lads have more hunger and passion than the so called experienced players, then you will just be wondering what's the direction of the club



atleast this match has opened the lies that we don't need a true and experienced LW, abua was useless as usual, saka was too inexperienced and anonymous against man city full backs, and same goes for martinelli




I didn't expect a draw in this game because I knew the difference in quality between the two clubs, the only negative I got was the three injury and red card we had, now we are left with holding and mustsfi as CB, and the season is just resuming. hopefully the injuries are not that sever because we will be playing matches every 3 days.




Las Las na to forfeit the remaining match if care is not taking


I wouldn't wish to be in arteta shoes right now, what a hopeless situation to be in right now

If young players who should be learning from bench are considered good enough by 3 diff coaches to start ahead of the big experienced men, then that FC is fvcked!

1. Arsenal as a team are too timid when the play strong teams.
2. Arsenal is made up of physically and mentally weak individuals.
3. David Luiz........it is well!
4. The team needs overhaul.
5.No defence, no midfield, no deadly consistent frontline......Haba!
6. Arsenal will be doing their fans and themselves a disservice going to Europe next season.
Staying at home to learn and perfect on basic stuff is advised.
7. Deportivo Lacarona once ruled Spain....not any longer. Arsenal was once a major title contender.....but no more.
8. Hopefully, Arsenal will rise again....but not with mediocre players and manager.
7. Arsenal will rise again.

Hard truth at the bolded!

iamoyindamola:
Never ever will my offspring think of supporting this miserable club

You're not even s strong and real fan. Supply your team with vyoir kids. That's what being a fan is.

Expert17:
David luiz also causing trouble

Forget David Luiz has really improved in this new management abeg.

Our front 3 has been causing troubles to them

Arterta is doing well, what a beautiful line up

*ANALYSING THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE CURRENT ARSENAL SQUAD*


1) *BERND LENO:*

Good shot-stopper and is agile, however, doesn't command his area with as much authority as other top goalkeepers.


2) *HECTOR BELLERIN:*

Great straight line speed and times runs well, therefore can overlap and provide the simple cutbacks and low crosses. Awful agility and limited angles offered with the ball. Average final ball quality, and can't dribble 1v1 particularly well


3) *AINSLEY MAITLAND NILES:*

Slower than Bellerin but twice as agile. Has a wider repertoire of technical skills than Bellerin, particularly dribbling. And offers more angles than Bellerin on the ball. Lapses in focus are more frequent than ideal.


4) *SOKRATIS:*

Fast over longer distances but not particularly quick over short ones. Good box defender but a liability in the sense that he can over commit when defending. On the ball, he doesn't offer progression in passing nor in dribbling through lines


5) *DAVID LUIZ:*

One of those players who you'll have to deal with being error prone unfortunately. Is a difference maker on the ball though, extensive range of passing and can play the ball between the lines with pace.


6) *SHKODRAN MUSTAFI:*

Better on the ball than Sokratis to be fair, but it doesn't compensate for his his error proneness. Struggles with long balls and is unnecessarily rash. His form is showing improvement however


7) *ROB HOLDING:*

Hard to tell how he'll react after a huge injury, was in good form prior to it. Relatively solid player but lacks mobility.


*SEAD KOLASINAC:*

Good at cutbacks and times runs well. Positionally poor and therefore struggles in a back 4. Good straight line speed. Struggles 1v1 and isn't the most comfortable in the build-up in general, not to mention progressing the ball with passes or dribbling.


9) *BUKAYO SAKA:*

His future is at left-back in my opinion. He doesn't have the sheer speed to play as a left-footed left winger, Individual quality means he can change games. great in 1v1 offensive scenarios, but 1v1 defensive ability is questionable for now



10) *KEIRAN TIERNEY:*

Complete athlete. Quick, enough agility, huge vertical jump and is fit. Good quality in his crossing and can consistently meet the attacker from deep or on the byline with balls into the box



11) *DANI CEBALLOS:*

Very good technique, good under pressure. Can flatter to deceive, and a good proportion of his actions are regressive rather than progressive. Covers ground when tracking back very slowly, but surprisingly good at pressing nonetheless. Average defensively



12) *LUCAS TORREIRA:*

Offers defensive security, cover lanes and gaps well. Below average as an athlete and poor speed means he can struggle to manage larger areas well (think peak Fernandinho). Doesn't do much with his passing in terms of breaking lines or switching play sadly



13) *GRANIT XHAKA:*

Great passing range and can last the full 90 minutes. Lacks mobility over short distances. not good enough with his feet to play ahead of the ball. His passing can definitely stretch teams but he doesn't break lines with it/get the ball into the half-spaces



14) *JOE WILLOCK:*

Great athlete, and can dominate when the game is end-to-end, can both drive with the ball or make runs off the ball into/around the box for goal-scoring opportunities. Dynamic footballer, but his technical quality in tight spaces/passing isn't quite there yet



15) *MATTEO GUENDOUZI:*

He's an odd player because it's clear that he's best behind the ball and deep, driving and breaking lines with his passing. But defensively he's a liability if he's the deepest midfielder. Hugely talented player nonetheless, but needs to figure out his role



16) *MESUT OZIL:*

Oozes composure and can link play and combine with players in the final 3rd. Legs are finished so lacks dynamism but still has an important role to play in the team

Herbiedeen:
The main shortage you guys have is Attacking Midfielder and a natural winger but they're not interested in boosting those areas

i don't just know why someone would be having headache and be getting drugs for cancer........tch

That's just the truth.

Gabzy1:
I am a new member here
I have been supporting arsenal since 2004
I hope we attain greater heights under arteta
COYG

Na same year(2004) we get admission to Arsenal Fc.
You're welcome to hope,hoping and hoping era of our dear football club

daveP:
Lol. Arsenal need wake up. They need a front 3 that will play together for 6yrs like MFS of Liverpool
A midfield trio of ManCity
And 2 cB like Terry and co.

I thought we have fantastic front4 in Pepe,Ozil,Auba and Laca big enough to win the league
We only needed a good coach to utilize and speak English to em
