I have always been attracted to your angry demeanor when posting. So I choose not to insult you back.

But if there is any delusion it's in your comprehension. You quoted this...


But sadly enough, you picked only the first line and left the second. I am hugely disappointed in you Alomo. You shouldn't come out this stupid na.

Besides Emery has always deployed a AM, even if it means playing someone out of position. He has used Ceballos, Ozil, and even Torriera. Only on two occasions he didn't funny enough that was against Man Utd and Bournemouth, the same matches we showed that he 'grinded out'. But you failed to acknowledge. And you dey claim say you know ball? Wow!

And listen, if a team puts out 10shots on target you shouldn't call that 'grinding out' that pure attacking football. And that's not what happened Vs BM.

Please call Lana1 let him school you about Ferguson's Man Utd. I only pity how your stupidity would be exposed. Because Ferdie once beat Arsenal in an FA cup quarter finals using 7, yes SEVEN defenders.

You just fooled yourself Mr Alomo.
With 7 defenders.... did manure have 1 shot on goalllllhuh??

Torreira... AM... I give up....

...the flow.

Grinding out a result is a football technical term used when a team decides to adopt a practical but non conventional tactics to win a match when their usual approach isn't working or when their regular players are not available.
What is our usual approach...huh It seems you like contradicting yourself... Did we try our usual approach and fail before we resulted to Grinders football...?!! Please what approach are you expecting when you use three DMs in a match...? Attacking Football or Grinding Football?!!

that's a simple question you'll not answer....

From here it's seen that it's against weaker oppositions that you grind out a result. You don't say you grind out a result when you play Liverpool they are superior side for now at least. But when it's against weaker teams like the case of Bournemouth that the term is rightly used. So whether it's one shot on goal or ten, it's immaterial as long as you manage to secure a win. In grinding out a result, winning is more important than play.
Maybe you don't understand football... If you're grinding for a win with one shot on goal vs Bournemouth and Bournemouth has 10 shots on goal... On paper and in real life... Only one team is playing and the other is scrapping.

Now, is our usual approach towards matches fluid football which was synonymous to why i became an arsenal fan or grinding football... One reason I've always hated that Emisery even before he became an Arsenal coachhuh

I pulled up stats of Liverpool while one slow individual said Liverpool was grinding result.

If you dont know... Know this now... Grinding results is winning 1-0 while firing 10 shots on target... why do you think people turned on Wenger... chances after chances are created and nobody takes them... the term... grind the result out.

The Man United teams of the Ferguson era were very good at it unlike their Arsenal counterparts. They know how to nick 3pts against stubborn oppositions when they discover that their exciting play isn't going to yield the desired points. But you see Arsenal after playing so well with exciting patterns still end up losing, something similar to what happened to Man City against Wolves.
As much as i really hate to do this... I'll have to call Lana1 on this discussion... Manure never won a game at OT with one shot on target... NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! throughout 90 mins while Ferguson was in charge.

Man city didn't lose to wolves with one shot on target... lets not be unfortunate and start padding figures. Both goals from Wolves came from exquisite counter attack.

Now some fans see their boring play and criticize it, but the manager (and players as well) know that for them to garner to points, they have to play dirty.
If Arsenal vs Bournemouth is winning dirty or the draw vs manure is winning dirty...

You sir... You're DELUDED.

[s]If this epistle is not enough to give you guys understanding, then it's a pity. I can't help your ignorance further.

Thanks.[/s]

St. Etienne vs Lyon...

St Etienne won by scoring an injury time goal. Conceded less than 5 shots by Lyon and won 1-0...


You can't grind out results
By being a sitting duck...
Inviting anyhow team to fucking shoot at you...
And call that grinding out results...
That's called relying on luck not to succeed...


Mourinho and Simeone are masters at parking the bus... And while parking their bus... How's manu team will shoot more than 10 times at their defence when they're playing at home...huh How many...?

Quote from The Metro

There is also a growing consensus that Emery is a naturally defensive coach, particularly after Monday night when he named an industrious three-man midfield of Matteo Guendouzi, Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira against a United team who were there for the taking. Arsenal created only seven chances against United and none of those came from their three starting central midfielders. Pepe is a player who thrives in broken play and with grass to run into but if he’s playing in front of a pedestrian midfield, his opportunities to latch onto passes in behind are drastically reduced. Considering Arsenal’s strength lies in their attack rather than in defence, it seems counter-intuitive that Emery continually adopts a safety-first approach. Aubameyang has been prolific despite a lack of service but without a functioning support network behind him, Pepe has struggled. There have been times where the Ivorian’s composure and shot execution have let him down, but it is on Emery to provide a tactical framework to enable him to showcase his assets rather than inhibit his natural attacking instincts.

Can someone point to the stats of Liverpool and show that clown that there's a difference between grinding out results with 1 shot on goal and 10 shots on goal.

.... My brother... I really don't understand where this is coming from.

.... Emery has started youngsters against the big guns which to me is a man with balls but they call him a coward. I am bewildered honestly ..

..He rewards performance too which makes him a fair man and that's why the fringe players are Killing themselves on the pitch because they know if they perform, they will likely start or be on the bench in the EPL. That's a good Coach to me.

...Perhaps, he gives his opponents too much credit especially away but you have to know that our away form has been abysmal the last few seasons which is the sole reason why we have failed to qualify for the Champions league. We are outstanding at home even in this "cowardly" regime but our away form has to be fixed and if it means grinding out results to do so, I will gladly take it. Europa league don taya some of us abeg.

But how do you test your defensive grit against Bournemouth.

With Liverpool, I can understand, but you're playing Bournemouth at home (Emirates stadium) you've a 30 goal a season striker and Harry fucking Wilson has more shots on target than him and he claims that the league is hard...

The Bournemouth that is attacking us... Are they better than us...?

Look at man city vs wolves stats... Man city lost... But chances after chances was created by man city.

Then you can applaud wolves for their grit against city.

But when Bournemouth attacks you at home and people applaud the defensive shape... It's time to wake up to reality.


Arsenal is a mid table team...


And the reason why people walk over some people is because of shit mentality.

I was waiting for this dumb analysis... You claim this league is hard but play defensive with Bournemouth at home while Bournemouth attacks your team...

Pound for Pound... How many Bournemouth players are better than Arsenal players...?!!!

Yes we are 3rd and we won 1-0 that easily could have been 1-1 or 0-0... We should be grinding out results against the likes of Liverpool and Manchester city... Not fucking Bournemouth... Not in a million years...

how’s what I’ve been saying different from what was said in that video? Another reason I asked what style is Emery playing cos his signings can’t execute what peeps say his style is.
He also mentioned Guen and Xhaka as culprits. But because I’m not named Lee Dixon I hate Guen.

Most games Guen is most times seen escorting opposition into our box while Xhaka ain’t fast enough to cover for him but we’ll choose to blame defenders that the midfielders always expose and get them overwhelmed with a lot to contend with.

Next game Emery starts them in midfield again, doing same thing expecting a different result. Only a fool does that!
Bro... if you read my posts... I've always said we've an issue with the midfield...

With Wenger it was defence... With Emisery it was midfield... Reason why I will never blame Guen is cos... There's no tactics... And if he doesn't push... We no go see ball play.
