Yes na
So isobt was expect him to play merino in the midfield against big teams when he have excess artackerson bench
He will be cautious of his actions going forward

free flow football is our identity right from wenger days, focusing more on defence is all new to most of us. He tries to balance the defence and attack but all the time prioritise defence. Playing with AM would have changed the whole game for us, especially in the first half. He wanted to defend an early goal with that Sunday setting, and bad enough an early goal didn't come and he wasted too much time to change tactics when he saw how Liverpool changed theirs. If his ideas keep failing, then he deserves to leave. The team is already more than good enough to win the league and any other good coach can continue.

Baba God please let's this be true
Let this man feel some heat too, at least have some sense of responsibility

i read about this too. As least he now knows that a decision can and will be made against him if he fails to deliver. One thing I know is that the players themselves are evenly hungry to win an important trophy. The winning mentality is there already, they just have to be consistent and give their all through 35 matches.

IZUKWU:
who brought in the 10m, Lokonga and Taveres?.

with everything Chelsea bought, they still made a profit.

iamoyindamola:
Lookman is valued 40m , Berta being Italian can negotiate for lower price that's why I write 30m
Today is the last day, martinelli must go sha

Arteta knows Martinelli isn't as productive as he used to be, but he keeps trusting him. I knew he was definitely going to start yesterday, but he suppose dey chop bench back to back from next match. Until Saka returns, I know Madueke will be our main 7 so it's left for Arteta to choose Eze and Trosard ahead of Martinelli. BTW what do you think of Madueke yesterday?.

Man city have only won once abi twice against Liverpool at anfield but have gone ahead to win epl trophies over them time and time again. But somehow someone wants us to follow his line of thought alone regarding winning epl and sacking arteta after loosing by a lone goal to them in match day 3. Ndewo

iamoyindamola:
You still don't get it
This man can't get us over the line

baba, I won't say i don't get your point, you have been open about Arteta and your thoughts about him for long now. It pains to lose but no matter how much we complain about this match, it will not be a benchmark to sack him. His decision didn't work, same as Liverpool in the first half and majority of the game till and after that magic by szoboszlia.

Bro... There's one prayer I always say. That I would never be at the mercy of human being like me. A single mistake against Villa made us lose the title to City. We're now praying for Spurs to do magic. Like our fate now lies in the hand of the other teams. Remember?

That's why this loss is unacceptable. If Arteta got sacked because of today's match, e worth am.

everyone can't have the same opinion, and everyone can't see things from the same perspective. When I saw the line up, I knew it was going to be a hard time scoring, but none the less we were not that bad. Coach made a mistake, oya wetin make they ones that got a chance to waste it, coach too?.

iamoyindamola:
That's because we have seen something like this before
We have the tools to break down any team yet we are still playing haram football, what are we doing with 7 defenders (4 defenders and 3 DMs) in a match
How can anyone who knows our history with arteta have confidence in him

first half we played better but didn't finish off well. Second half he wasted time to bring in a change in the gameplan and a single moment of brilliance just like that of Rice against Madrid made the difference. We will be back(even if i am the only one that believes that). No single team is going to play unbeaten, none!!. It's left to see which team beats us and how we lost.

Roland17:
Arteta already blaming and throwing Eberechi Eze under the bus.

Nothing new here! We have seen this over and over again.

Arteta: “You have to put the ball in the back of the net. We were much better than last year when we drew the game. Today we have 3, 4, 5 situations inside the box 1v1. Eze is completely through just to finish the action. You have to put the ball in the net if you want to win.”

nothing like throwing anyone under the bus, that was a light touch on Eze. And the ball that Timber held on to for long after cancelling out Liverpool players before passing was also an opportunity to score. We can blame the coach, but not seeing the difference players could have made is another thing.

The loss is frustrating, but we're acting like we just lost a title decider. We were not as bad as people are making it look(though i still believe Arteta fuccked up). We lost against a great team(league holders) that we haven't won at their back yard since 2012 but somehow it's the decider for arsenal to sack their coach.
Bad result indeed but make I wait till we loose to a smaller team to see more lamentations. Or are we going unbeaten after today.

Omor!!... no excuses, Arteta got it wrong today. From the xl to tactics. Instead of playing a free flow football with creative players we came to fight. Man saw the change in game plan when mac Allister was subbed but still held on to Merino and physicality that is not working. Arteta just dey make hard for himself and every fan.
I know sacking him no dey for discussion table for now, but I hope we bounce back shaa. Season still dey fresh

iamoyindamola:
Game calling for creative midfielder
So far so good

guy!!!, Merino na just minus 1

Why can't Madueke play the corners from the right side?. Rice playing outward crosses is not working for us. Madueke!!!, baller.

Szoboszlia linking with Salah will be dangerous attack, but Martinelli can benefit on that with his speed on counter. Thank God it's Martinelli that's starting today, he helps the lb better than other players on the lw.

MSGAMBLE9:
Seriously our selling needs to improve, Chelsea almost sold Jackson for €80m today, got rid of injury ravaged Nkunku for €40m+ ...

No be JuJu be that ....

truly Chelsea dey use juju no be lie

mostob:
Who should start tomorrow?
Calafiori or Myles? If only white is fit, na to start Timber at LB. But with what we have, I'll go with Myles.

Can Calafiori hold Salah?, even at that, I will prefer him starting over Skelly.

iamoyindamola:
Exactly
Allow us na, you guys see him as saviour
Money making manager, we see him as serial bottler

baba fans wants to win something, that is a fact. The investors wants trophies too to attract more financial goals, they see not only the trophies but the financial progress too. It's not about making him a savior bro, we are trying to make you see that it is more than trophies for the board members not about a section of fans making him a king or lord. Just look at it pass Arteta fans trying to praise him and see what we are trying to say regarding to my comment.

iamoyindamola:
It looks like that Leverkusen guy will come in loan with obligation to buy 60m
Kiwior is already in Porto waiting for go ahead, the guy can also play LB(2 in 1)
With TM closing soon I have to commend the club for job well-done
In my life of supporting this club this is the first we got all our transfers I mean we picked and got our men
All departments were touched with quality depth
It would have been 10/10 but our outings was poor we are paying extra for fringe players we should dump
I read we still have 134m to spend, let's keep it till January it will come handy

Now let's do the talking on pitch, everyone is so sure Awalokan, I trust and hope arteta turns up
I am not greedy just get me epl and ucl double
COYG!!!

this is the reason why the board and owners turn deaf when fans shout Arteta out. Man have been making steady progress each year for them financially. They would always console themselves with the money and profit he brings even when he keeps fuccking up. But this TW have been the best for everyone involved, they were able to spend so much without selling, requiring owners to put personal funds and avoiding ffp wahala. Arteta done put de club for financial level wey dem never attain before.

Puskas arena, Budapest. 30th May 2026. Will Arsenal be there....

You too de allow spy mess with you. I for de prefer if u dey hold am for neck press am well.

Spy360:
Someone actually hoped last season that Arteta would be sacked and we get Amorim.

Someone here.

Unbelievable!!!

Nwanne calm down, i never read that kind thing for dis our thread.

iamoyindamola:
He doesn't have the confidence in arsenal, I watched him last season at Fulham before his injury
Very direct and impactful

if only we won the league in 2022, he would have been forever remembered for that Bournemouth last minute screamer.

I hope those fans that thought Zubimendi was a downgrade to Partey dey shaa enjoy his game dey smile. He's a machine just like Rice. An intelligent player like Jorginho but quick with the ball and has more pace than both Partey and Jorginho. Looking to see how he performs against Mac Allister on Sunday.
If Calafiori can stay fit, that left hand side will always be a threat. I just wish he does a Timber and stay fit.
It's looking more like Martinelli will start against Liverpool, make be say him head don correct. Surprised Arteta didn't play him yesterday.
