If we want Saka to be isolated with just one defender,

1. The left side must find a way to click.

2. Odegaard must learn not to drift to the wing.

3. Saka himself needs to come inside sometimes.

Roland17:
While at it, can we talk about Jesus’s profligacies in front of goal? I get it, we split the goals but man needs to be clinical with the chances he gets.

Ray07:
e shock you abi . . . 😁😁😁✌️

Shegzdave:
If he says this in the gathering of non-arsenals fans sef, him fit collect

Sorry to say, that’s absolute balderdash

BlueRayDick:
Dem wan whitewash image wey no exist

Raul Jimenez sef wey play for lowly Wolverhampton managed to score 17 goals in two different seasons before his injury .

Lush100:
Let's end the debate.
Giroud was very effective in our system which we tried to mould after TH14 or RVP .
The was good for plan B and he was effective there. I still remember his goal against Man U.

France worked on his strength with Greizman as support striker and Mbappe on the wings.

The system is key for Giroud performance.
Some players can play in every system but some just flopped for no explainable reason e.g Sanchez at Man u and Torres at Chelsea.
Hazard has serious injury and i remember questioning the purchase by RM. They bought him while still unfit.

BlueRayDick:
Lmao

Striker wey no get shot on target at a World Cup his national team won.

Una like mediocre players sha .

Striker wey spend 6 seasons at a top club like Arsenal and never managed to score past 16 league goals in a season and u want to argue he’s not an average striker ?

BlueRayDick:
This is the only thing that matters in this argument. Watch how he will turn amala beside the point

Spy360:
Lol.

You talk like I live in France or my umbilical cord was buried there.

My point is you will always be wrong if you say that a record goal scorer for a country like France is average not to talk of 'very very' average. My point is if you take such a stand it simply means you nor know ball.

Have an open mind and you will see clearly. Giroud has won French League, Seria A, PL, UCL, WC, etc. and he won all these as a major player in his teams. It's we fans that don't know how to rate players that call Giroud average. Dude is still balling in AC Milan till today.

Ibime:
E be like James and Fofana dey learn work where this one dey

Spy360:
The bolded is where rationality comes in an argument. First you claim (erroneously) that Giroud is average, yet you agree (factually) that he is the record goal scorer for France (against the likes of Henry, Benzema, etc) but because you know that what you said doesn't make logical sense, and that it is self contradictory, you wipe everything off with 'I don't care, it does not concern me'.

Trossard will start

Hausa:
High technical football IQ.
I'm glad you mentioned this.

That right there is lacking in Odegaard, Saka and Martinelli.

Spy360:
Many here won't or didn't accept the bolded when Giroud was with us. But I insisted because I thought rationally.

You are right when you said some players do well under certain systems or managers even though we criticise them. Doesn't it mean that most of us who criticise cannot see how good the player is because the system blinds us or because we have preconceived notions of how a player should perform irrespective of the system in which he plays? Take Havertz for example, most people can't see how well he performs simply because of preconceived ideas? Same as Gabriel Jesus etc.

Spy360:
I liked him not because of what he said particularly but the boldness of taking an unpopular position and using rational thinking to defend his thoughts.

As for me, I make my opinions irrespective of whether they are popular or not. For example I am not going to say Henry is not the best goal scorer in Arsenal's history. I am not going to say Senderos is better than Saliba. But when I say Giroud is a good striker I prove it with logical and rational thinking. Obviously I was right about Giroud (he is France record goal scorer). I was right about Lacazette Vs Nketiah. I was right about Gabriel Jesus. I have been proven right again about Havertz.

I make my opinions irrespective of what majority of people say. That's because I am a thinker. My opinion may or may not align with majority. The alignment is not my problem, my problem is what are the real facts on ground.

What I praised about Hausa post is that he is bold to take such a position that's all. Many people don't think they only flow with popular opinion which I don't regard any value. Someone may say Pep is the best tactician in PL, but when asked to prove it, they can't because that opinion didn't come from their head, it came from what they saw as popular opinion.
