Me I still maintain that our issue is not just even creativity but finishing....

Last season, our wingplay was okay but nothing much came from the middle.

I just pray that Auba do something if we are to retain him, he contribute zero, always looking fatigued .

Meanwhile, you people should help me beg Arsenal let Maddison rumour to remain rumour abeg.

If we get Aour, Nabil Fekir and that lokonga guy... midfield is okay for me ohhhh. Just to up right and left wing and a striker, we are good to go June have gone pass half , nothing yet

Hmm.... This same last season that passed was what you think we lacked only finishing?

Let's scratch out the period we didn't play with 10(which was almost 1st half of the season) and focus on the 2nd half wen we introduced smith Rowe and then odegard. 1..How many chances per match did did our strikers throw away?
2... Which of our wingers were consistent bar saka? Don't tell Pepe cos he was frustrating, tho he improved towards end of season.
3.. How many creativity came from midfield consistently?

To be honest, our issue is big time creativity cos last season seems we created one of the least chances. We're so focused on maintaining possession (where possible) than being creative. No wonder once we concede first, we mostly lose or draw the game

For creativity and midfield, I don't know why we're not looking at dani olmo. He reminds me of cazorla. Can pass, dribble and above all can shoot from out the box. Maybe I'm missing something, coz this guy doesn't get the hype he deserves. He mostly impresses me most time I watch him.

Who knows about this guy and what's your opinion on him

timbros:
Sod09 is this true?

Jodera I've asked you before, what are you still doing in the red side of London?

Coming a bit late, but....

We gunners for life

And that's because our name starts with "A" and nothing else...

sapphiere:
Seun lalasticlala mynd44 please warn this boy to stop mentioning me on this forum. My post wasn't meant for him. He should mind his business

If you don't want any one to mention you, then don't comment at all. Or if you can disable the mention option, then do it.
I don't understand how someone will comment then say nobody should mention him/her. Na you get nairaland?
If you can't answer his question, just swerve instead of claiming emotional victim

Lana1:
United might be temporarily in the mud, but Arsenal's own is eternal

Wetin dey down no fit fall again na

KingAlabi:
What is more irritating is the name calling, small boys everywhere on that thread.

I believe say this week na solemn and painful week for man u fanz

KingAlabi:
Lolz, I couldn't risk watching at a bar with my friends, make them no drag me like thief

The match was similar with Utd vs Villarreal, only that Chelsea are deadly on the counter.

Pep is his own undoing.

Lol.. Who told you I watched it with chelsea friends?
I dey craze

Chelsea was even more dangerous on the counter than man city apart from being compact on the defence

Pep will always be his own undoing
No more, no less

KingAlabi:
We go dey alright jare.
Pep played into tuchel hands.
Kudos to tuchel, he did good.

As pep fuckup for line up, I just dey hope for the best.
As play start, omo I no say anybody wey first score don win, and the person wey first score go end match with either 1-0 or 2-0.

As havertz score, omo, na so I choke till this morning.
I just leave bar for half time go house cos I no say nothing wey man city go do. I no even view 2nd half at all

Mehn. I dey vex like say arsenal lose
Which kain life

Akinbahm:
Sincerely, I wish nah Tottenham Hotspur carry that trophy yesterday night olorun...

omo, if dat one happen I fit quit nairaland.
Forget this thing wey you dey carry for head like this oo, I no believe say arsenal fans in England many wey carry arsenal for head like people wey dey outside England Bros

Tottenham go win, yet nothing dem go do.

KingAlabi:
Jodera my man, arsenal is finally the smaller club in London.
Mehn this one dey choke me too oh.
I say make I check up on you.

The only times I vex like this na on 2 occasions. Ucl Final 2006 and our uel against Chelsea.
This ystdy own enter my bone marrow mehn.
Anyways, kudos to tuchel
The guy is tactically savvy ystdy

Akinbahm:
Jodera, the send off your boys failed to do for Prof Wenger Chelsea has done it indirectly to one of Wenger boy G12.

Oh Lord, the kind of good glory wey u give G12 within 4years he left Arsenal oh lord I pray to receive such grace also amen. Sod and co G12 is now better than Arsenal as a whole within 4years...

Omo, shame and disgrace no fit allow me log in last night.
So many things just dey pain me.

And as for Wenger, I agree he tried for us, but to be honest, he and the board shifted us backwards considerably.
Now look at the results manifesting. Chelsea got two champions league and other major trophies

Omo, I'm in Sifia pains

Akinbahm:
I'm not underestimating the power of a Coach even the Pep you raised majority of his cup trophy his fixtures always favour him am not saying he is not a good a coach. Still fall under the impact of owner and coach which I agree.

Those two coaches you raised might not b as dominant as Pep but will definitely get some trophy into the cabinet.

No disrespect to Pep his dominant was caused by the rapid decline of other top5. Gone are the days the big four will be contesting for the fess position. I'm looking forward to a season where the likes of Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Man u, Tottenham and probably Arsenal will b contesting for the fess position and all team being in their best form if that could happen and Pep still dominate I will respect him more.

Pep has the CV to get any player of his likes to play for his team, give me a player who won't want to b coach by Pep and I will tell you the player is not good enough to b in his team I used that analogy to affirm to your claim the power of a coach.

Well... True, I get your point

macjireh:
I pity for man city front 3....on a second thought,, how come gundogan is in d lineup,,shey they said he was injured??

I think say kante and Mendy dey injured? How come dey are in lineup?

KingAlabi:
And yeah he has disappointed, got his chance when rashford got injured initially.

Lol... Alright then

KingAlabi:
@ bolded
You definitely no dey watch james

For the rest, I agree

but have James consistently disappointed on the left wing this season?

daveP:
Ya doing something o.

Tryna underrate the Europa!! Dont abeg!!

Any club doing that should be top club coaches not fans like this current Arsenal.

Emery is Class!! Simple
Like he did this versus Man Utd that destroyed Roma?
Yes nobody care about Europa then. But now, lets call this spade its name. Its a top competition!!

If it isnt, we won't be vilifying Emery for losing that final, and Bruno Fernandes wont be in Tears, Cavani won't be writing Motivational Quoted on twitter, Or Rashford saying he got over a hundred racial abuse on Twitter alone.


Same way the fa cup we won was called small by city and Chelsea fans.


Na who reach there know the Value!!

Emery does and he's got 4. Make we respect am. Na Arsenal no get sense abeg!!

Lol... I'm not underrating Europa. Same way I don't want to overrate it.

All these ones y'all are saying arsenal fan shouldn't talk about it, I don't get. No matter what, we're still recognized and acknowledged as a top club in England even tho recent league standing might say otherwise, but we're still a top club.

Also, I'm not belittling Emery nor his achievement, I'm just being realistic.

Well, I think I just need to stop talking about it before it'll seem like I'm disrespecting him

handelex:
Bruno had a poor game by his standards and was called out, I don't think anybody blamed him for the loss.

It was Illim.itable that questioned why Bruno gave up the chance to shoot first for the penalties seeing he won the coin toss and that's a fair point. It's funny cos him and Patric.kmuf complaining about it are team members.

Instead of Patrick to call out his team member he's busy shifting the blame to Olesexuals

Lastly one thing alone didn't cause that loss, it was a combination of bad choices even before kickoff both from Ole the Chief culprit and the players on the field that night.

Lol.. Well, fair points.
Totally Agree with you

SodO9:

Siddon look mode

Spy360:
Torres developed with City. It's like Willock, scoring for Newcastle, he didn't go as the finished product, he developed there. 23m is quite a sum for such players. E be like say you no rich kid.

Torres and willock are not the same. Torres was a first teamer same way saka is a first teamer with us. He developed at Valencia not city. Say you don't know ferran before his move to city I'll agree, but don't claim as if Torres was someone like willock before city bought him.

Except if you'll agree selling saka for €23m is costly.

KingAlabi:
I won't lie to myself, as I said I can't be hoping on a James or amad to rescue us when a new coach comes in.

I have watched James, we all know his strength and weaknesses, that one no be even talk to talk sef

For amad, as I said earlier, I expected amad to come on for rashy in that match, hence I started with the Fvck ole.

Again amad is 19, and he is small, Villarreal defence would have swallowed him, plus the pressure on him to bail out, I used amad as a citing for our youths.


We need experience jare, na Manchester United be this jare.

With or without ole.

For Sterling saga, I don't think that is even possible but again na guardiola anything fit happen.

Players improves. James wasn't poor like this when he first arrived. In fact, he hardly gives poor performances wen deployed to the left wing, how you guys forget this is surprising. How ole can't even deploy him into his favored left wing is another blemish on the coach.

As for Amad, I remember rashford taking his chances as a 19 abi 17yr old boy in European stage under more pressure than Amad, yet he took his chances.
Who knows whether that match would have been the match to spring Amad to his stardom, but trust ole been daft and stupid not to make use of his bench or take risk
Also, I don't discount experience, but if ole can't even work with his few given, how will you trust him with much. Mehn, Ole fvck up for not trusting his bench for that final. Forget quality or not

As for sterling, na Siddon look mode for arsenal first

handelex:
Lmaoooo

How that bolded take shock you.. Abi you think say na fans for this thread go sack Ole? I no understand oo.
Patrickmuf said we all agreed he should be shown the way out, ok we've agreed, is he yet out?

Not the sacking per se bro.
But the shifting of blame to Bruno for being the 2nd pk taker to de gea and other blames.
All those blames ought not to arise at all.
Na ole and only ole cause that loss

KingAlabi:
Fvck ole first of all.

But when a new coach comes in

We need a good bench for Christ sake

I can't be hoping on a Daniel James or amad to change the game under a new coach.

PS: I heard you guys are in for Sterling, na ment?

as for the bolded... I'm undecided mehn! Looking at our wingers, him fit get hope sef. Tho, I never liked the guy personally.

As for the bench, the bench paraded on Wednesday is great enough to beat Villarreal.
You can't tell me that matic, amad can't play bros? I mean same Amad scored a vital goal against ac Milan this season, how come he's now poor?

And who told you new coach can't come and use those bench ole is misusing? Na ole dey make you think say una bench poor and nobody else

patrickmuf:
They'll blame every other person but Ole. Funny enough, it was a general concensus here that if we fail to win Ole should be shown the door but it's barely 4 days after, they have found other reasons to absolve Ole of any blame...

They are already looking ahead to need season asking the board to back the fraudster...The same idiot who had Telles, VDB, Cavani and Amad signed last summer yet didn't use them safe for Cavani who only be ame a starter when it was obvious Martial was having a stinker of a season...

We have been told, Ole has the final say on who we buy, it's either his first or 2nd option for each position we strengthen but watch these fan boys come here to blame everyone but the fraud when things go south...

Na the bolded shock me.
How people still blame poor bench, de gea, Bruno, rashford and all is really really absurd.

Na real wa oo

Spy360:
You just turn eba. Torres then for 23m wasn't cheap, he is even now more expensive. Didn't you say Partey came cheap, at 45m for a 28yo? E be like say you get am plenty.

Probably you do not know that resale or salvage value adds to the value of properties/assets. Ask yourself how come Roma is bidding 10m for Xhaka whereas if he were 23 he would go for not less than 35m.

Lol... Spy spy!
It seems you still live in Wenger past where cheap is €5-10m

Torres that was first 11 in Valencia and was one of their stand out star is what you say €23m is not cheap? In this present age of inflation were joao Felix cost over 100mill and Fabio Silva of wolves cost €47m is what you said €23m for a hot prospect seeing 1st 11 in la liga top flight team is not cheap?

Partey is cheap for 45m in this present market. We're not looking to sell him as we feel he's already at his peak of his age, and for a starting 11 for a team like athletico with obvious quality, I don't see how that's not cheap. All this resale value you're saying doesn't make sense cos like I said earlier, we bought partey to improve our squad not buying him to sell in 3-5yrs time as if we're Dortmund or Ajax.

Arsenal will be very very foolish to sell xhaka for 10m. xhaka who's hardly injury prone and is seeing first team at arsenal is what you feel Roma is right for bringing 10m just cos his age is 28yrs?
If arsenal don't sell xhaka for at least 25-30m, then they should sack all our negotiating team.
They are not serious if xhaka is sold for such

How old was griezmann and hazard when barca and Madrid signed them respectively again?

Fkhalifa:
Ofcourse Liverpool and every big club will aim higher, I don't know how Eufa rate Europa, but I feel its as good as 4th in all leagues, Yes Emery shouldn't be rated world class for Europas but, definitely above average.
I said above average because Europa league for the past 5 years has been different from the past decades, we've had top teams drop there and competed strongly for it.
Atlectico, Chelsea,Utd,Arsenal,Dortmund,Napoli
Ajax, Rangers and other tough teams

Reason why the Villarreal and Utd game had much traffic and followership.

For me, Europa is becoming more competitive.

I agree with all you said

As for the bolded. I agree with you cos of the incentive of UCL. But even the competitiveness is relative. A team hustling for champions league and on the verge of securing it through the league or hustling to win the league will definitely field a weaker team in Europa unlike in UCL where everybody takes it serious.
A top team only takes it serious when UCL qualification is no longer secured.

I don't have any issue with Emery, it's a good feat dominating the Europa but I feel we're carrying this Europa more than what it actually is


Cheers bro

Fkhalifa:
Baba you think too high of this present Arsenal, At the moment, the gunners are a midtable club.
Any trophy even as small as Carabao will definitely be rated by 95% Arsenal fans, Arsenal fans will value any trophy most especially having gone through trophy drought for almost a decade.

Also, the Pep and Mourinho will continue to value and celebrate Carabao even community shield( the least in ranking of trophies from England)..

Not to talk of the second European trophy in club football in Europe, so its funny coming from an Arsenal fan/side( with no European trophy) who I'm sure 90% of the club's fan wouldn't mind to downplay the trophy.

Bro, ATM, Arsenal are not even graded good enough to play for a league ( conference cup) competition not even upto Europa.

Lol... You're misunderstanding me.
I didn't say nobody should celebrate winning a trophy or even community shield. Most arsenals fans celebrated fa cup win and I myself would have celebrated if we won Europa this season. But would I be happy participating there every season? Maybe you, but I won't.
Guardiola and mourinho will celebrate carabao cup and fa cup, but do you think they'll be rated greatest coaches if it's only those two they're winning consistently? If you think yes, then you're not been honest

Arsenal presently is a mid table team, who is hopeful of been one of the top teams in England(at least to the fans). Ask yourself even with all the b2b2b Emery have never been nominated for top coaches. That's cos it's a 2nd rated cup. Any how you wan paint am, na still the division two of champions league. There's a reason Liverpool fought tooth and nail not to be there while west Ham celebrated going there. I'm never happy we're participating there, but that doesn't stop me from supporting my team to win in if I find arsenal there. Will I be happy winning it? Yes, cos it's a trophy.
Will I use it to brag, same way I can't use fa cup to brag. Simple.
