Martinelli starting again
This is obviously the line up for next week

I think this is his main xl

MSGAMBLE9:
That's Life, Ethan wasn't even nominated for Balloon d'Or like MLS which is a shame.... You know Patino overshadowed Saka emergence too, so you shouldn't worries except the fact that Ethan and Max plays similar positions

Downan plays that right wing better, because he plays with so much freedom and self confidence. I expect Nwaneri to push and compete with odegaard than Saka. He plays better at the middle than at right wing.

Roland17:
I can agree with you on waiting until the EPL starts to actually reveal what we would look like playing with a CF.

One of the reasons we struggled against low block teams was because we did not have a CF or player that kept opposing CBs engaged. If opposing CBs are not engaged, it gives them numbers to match our ball movement across the final third. Too many times last season, we held on to possession with nobody in the middle inside the box.

We also have to be decisive with possession in the final 3rd. We are making way too many Horizontal aka sideways/ obvious passes which are easy to track for low block teams, especially against teams that have no CF threat. Our possession triangle is too predictable as it is stretched because we are constantly looking for that width. We need more vertical passing with shorter possession triangles inside the final 3rd, especially now that we have CF. This will even open the wings for cuts behind the CBs.

our wingers can shine this season with this setup, more space for them as the cf will draw attention. I just pray this season works out.

Madueke played most of his games in Chelsea as a LW
Hopefully he turns up
We also need something different from odegaard

I just read Madrid are lining up £78m plus asencio and guler for saliba
The deal will sum up £110 world record for a defender

I feel like Saliba will leave one day, certainly not this summer but one day. I just wish we win a trophy this season shaa.

We can still spend about £90 without having any financial issues. So I think we can get Eze regardless of player sales. With the attack, midfield and defence sorted out, let's see what the season brings.

iamoyindamola:
Me complain about joughino?
You better get your facts right

Good morning. Sorry bro, my bad, it wasn't you that made the comment, I just checked.

iamoyindamola:
As anyone we sign from Chelsea turn up?
Only kepa I am rooting for

just this season you complained about letting jorginho go for free and bringing norggard, but you also think he didn't turn up.

iamoyindamola:
They are not the type to take us to the next level instead they add to our problems
Is Gallas not part of the defense line that bottled the league, what of luiz numerous errors and red cards, joughino error against spuds came back to hunt us or Kai missing chances
As for cech we got the worse version

Jorginho had a good spell with us, it's not his fault that we couldn't get a trophy. You mentioned the spurs game but forgot games Aston villa match where he turned up, or even Man City. Kai dey miss chances, but he dey try too. Last two seasons kai was in his of his life during the later part but yet we couldn't win anything, so is that his fault too?.

ObaIgwe1:
Training attendances at the Kai Tak Sports Stadium:
Spurs attendance - 9k
Liverpool attendance - 27k
Arsenal attendance - 44k

#arsenalfanaticsnews


That is a very impressive figure.... I tell you.

The Shirts sales, especially for Gyokeres14 is a new figure. I hope Arteta will compensate them by letting him play tomorrow even if it is for 5mins.

he's fit and have been training with the team for some time, so he will definitely play tomorrow. It's our last match in Asia so the fans deserve an appearance.

iamoyindamola:
Ramsdale is joining Newcastle as predicted he's not going down again

he's too good to go down. He might not have been the ideal keeper for Arsenal but a lot of teams won't hesitate to take him.

iamoyindamola:
Have even forgotten we got another player from Chelsea apart from kepa that shows how irrelevant his transfer is, he can't even sacrifice some days in his holiday to know and blend with his new teammates.
This is how you know unserious player that's only there for money, awon faworaja

Baba relax and calm down first. he wanted to join as soon as he signed, it was Arteta and Bertha that told him to take extra break. You no get joy for his signing at all, I hope you changes your mind shaa. Just be ready to accept the L when he turns up.

dominique:
I just watched a Gyökeres interview where he spoke his native language, the English interview was posted yesterday. Between Friday night that he arrived in London and Saturday night that he flew to Singapore, he carried out medicals, signed necessary documents, did photoshoot wearing home and away kits, did a video shoot for his unveiling video, answered quick fire questions and had interviews in more than one language YET some people were expecting him to play today. He was not even supposed to show up! He's a super striker not a super human

who expected him to play today?.

iamoyindamola:
Forget agent rice will do it he will request for transfer

Abeg make he dey help my Milan back up. If Martinelli can get his mojo back with this preseason and Eze signs, I think that left side will be ok. Ismeal can even join the first team this season too. He's as explosive as Martinelli too.

I think Jesus and Trossard might leave this summer, Nelson is already heading to Fulham. Lokonga, wetin we wan do with that one sef. I don't think there's a concrete offer coming for him yet.

Our 2nd xl can beat even a strong epl team if properly managed

iamoyindamola:
Roland17 let's do swap plus cash for leao(trossard) and 30m

I love Arsenal but Leao isn't for sale. Allegri don even talk am.

mostob:
Yea.. His reluctance to come was a put off.

Gyokeres on the other habd fought for this move.

let's see how it outs out for us at the end of the season.

Spy360:
Are we now going to pretend that the current squad isn't 5 times better than what we have before?

Off course his confidence has increased and it's not out of place.

Don't give Arteta haters room to misunderstand you

It's not about giving anyone chance to do anything. Regardless of what you say, u can't change the mind of who doesn't want to change his mind. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't state the obvious

iamoyindamola:
Now you just wake up
When odegaard got injured last season it took saka injury for this man to play Ethan even forcing trossard to play midfield and we know how that end

Good morning by the way

baba, e be like u just started following my comments without sentiments, I've saying the same thing since last season. I don't know where the Good morning is coming from.

iamoyindamola:
He just need to believe in his team first

let's see how he can effectively rotate the squad without loosing quality. Na dat one be my concern, cus the same xl can't be playing 70-90 minutes every match and won't be affected by injuries and fatigue

mostob:
I know right... The issue with him is mentality and the fact that he is still raw. He can't decide game on his own yet. Compared to Gyokeres wey be like those Vikings.

initially I didn't have an issue with Sesko had we signed him, but seeing how he wasn't interested in us, I think it's a good choice we signed who have his mind on winning with us. I don't need Gyokeres to be the highest score scorer, I just need him to turn up each match day regardless of the opponent and deliver.

This season go long ooo. Arteta don dey talk about how this season will be different from last season where 5 players were always assured a place in the xl because they can play 90mins. This season we have more depth and rotations without loosing quality is expected. If we're not in fa cup and carabao cup finals, pushing for epl title, they should sack him. No more excuses. I've never been of the opinion that we lost our first two title push because of Pep, no. But seeing Liverpool win the league last season and how they did it, made me realise that Arsenal have been shooting themselves in the leg most times. Arteta not trusting the right players when he should affected us well, I just hope he have realised his own mistakes too with what he said about rotations. Let's watch and see.

iamoyindamola:
Lol
Season never start oo, na beg I they beg oo
Anyways xavi they stand by

baba era of who will replace him?, is gone. By December if we dey fall behind, make dem sack am.
But that one no mean say, he dey give excuses for that article wey I read.

Roland17:
Awon Arteta gang, una master don add new lyrics to him litany of excuses. Make add this one to him master list.

Werey talk say 6,7,8 clubs.... If you like no feel..

Baba wan use style tell us say this squad is only good for the usual top 4.

We will be here Sir!

your level of twisting words are so admirable, you do it in a way that makes your argument so strong that few can see beneath your real intentions even though you clearly understand what is being said but choose to add criticism. Tell me how choosing to respect other clubs and talking good about them while clearly stating your opinion and thoughts as it is in your mind is the same as saying we won't win the league and we're only open to top 4. You're so good at this nwanne.
