At least if Arteta is trying to play cross and nod, he should bring in Mustafi around 60th minute and move him to CF.
Our 6-feet Moller too is available.

I'm sure Arteta will be like "why did arsenal sell giroud"

Spy360:
It doesn't matter he is a youth.

Bro that one different na.
Ferran Torres was bought for over 20m pounds. It's logical that he'll be in the squad. Moreover, he's had experience playing for Valencia first team, so he's ahead of his mates in academy. I'm talking of dem foden and saka dem. It's like arsenal buying Ansu fati now(for example) from barca, and if we're telling Arteta to play youths, we'll now be calling fati as part of the "youths".
E no gel na.

Maybe the understanding of your "youths" dey different. But what we mean is youths are players from your club who have limited or no first team football at the highest level.

Mctominay weh dey man u naim dey tell you wetin dey hapun for arsenal and you dey believe?

Tahh!!... If you want correct arsenal gist, fresh from the source, and I'll gist you

Spy360:
Can't he see what Pep is doing with Foden and Ferrer?

Even if he doesn't trust them, what's there to lose if he makes them established PL players? At least they can fetch an extra 5m each if they have to move on.

I had hope that Arteta would be a strict coach who will intensify the competition among any underperforming players. But so far, I don't see that.



Nb: Ferran Torres isn't from their youth team.

Spy360:
I am happy that Lacazette at started at no10. This is a continuation of his renaissance and hopefully it will bring value to the club.

I'll also like to see Nelson, AMN, Balogun ESR, and Azeez given more playing time. At least now that we are falling, let us use the remainder of the season to develop more players. Even if we can't use them we can sell them for higher fees.

Arteta put himself into this mess by bowing to board pressure to sideline Ozil even when they couldn't provide an alternative. Now he is getting every thing wrong plus increasing pressure. He cannot think straight now and may need a psychologist to calm him down.

We need Wenger back in some capacity. He is the one that created this system and he can change it or improve it...

My take.

The thing I notice with Arteta is that maybe he doesn't trust youths enough. I don't know why but that's just my thoughts

eph12:
Think about the positives. You beat a title contender just about a month ago with the penalty goal of the season. Don't dwell on the negatives

so las las, una don turn title contender .

Odiegwu!!

Fkhalifa:
Can we stop hiding behind the this owner excuse Our net spent in last five season has been 443million, so any one with common sense and logic will agree that we have been well supported in the transfer market by the owner. Liverpool net spent has been less then us. #_Copied.

This doesn't tell the true picture of things. Arsenal hardly sell their scrap players until they reach their "menopause" or past their sell date, then they'll now sell on a very low price or even for free.

So for example if arsenal buys a player of say 20m, then when we wanna sell players that same season, with all the free releases or low sale, it might amount to say 10m. So our net spend is 10m.
Liverpool on the other hand might buy 2players for 80m for example while selling 5-6 players cumulatively for 100m.

So looking at those example, our net spend will be higher than Liverpool's own even tho we(the fans) knows we didn't substantially improve our squad. That's what is killing arsenal.

eph12:
It's not as bad as you think. I mean you can't go lower than that right? He that is down needs fear no fall

...
No allow me do 600yrs for you oo!
Which one is "it's not as bad as you think"?

Na until the 20th become our league position before you know say water don pass garri?

afrodoc2:
Sanchez wey don finish tey tey. Na for only that slow Seri A he fit dey flex muscle. His acceleration over short distances that was so key to him is no more.

Sanchez done wash na... I'm not sure any arsenal fan will wish Sanchez on this team again, except he's still living in 2015

afrodoc2:
Schweppes!!! So na una dey bottom of the league in chances created. Hehehehehe.

This Adete worry wella. The guy na Moyes spiritual successor.

Lol... E be like say Moyes dey learn work for him side oo. Cos even Moyes no bad reach this extent na

Eawwal:
Ozil was not registered for footballing reasons


Thank God say I no watch the match.

Mehn... Chances created. 20th .
Below the likes of Sheffield, Burnley, Fulham, etc.
Yet we shouldn't blame Arteta?

My holy goodness!!!...20th.

mostob:
Even if it is cross and nod, he should have fielded proper personnel.
See you,borehole ke? By next week,we will discover crude oil.

eph12:
It was a fine goal I won't lie. You would be in relegation zone by now if not for that pk.

lol... Abeg mk I wail in peace this night. Tomorrow I can reminisce on the only win we've had in the league for over a month

KingAlabi:
THUNDER WHERE ART THOU

Fkhalifa:
Sanchez will only come for retirement package like Willian.. Maybe the Justarsenal people meant Sanchez esque.

na why I tell mostob say na Sanchez esque. But if na d same Alexis Sanchez wey we know, wey dey inter, then we never ready to move forward be that.

mostob:
no mind am bro. Even if na U18 players were fielded, it would have been understandable. some players always let him down yet he couldn't try others. They can sack him, I'm not defending him again.

Na my big anger be that with am. If to say him mix things up. It would have been better.

Another thing is that why will our only attacking play be cross and nod. Is that one personnel problem again?

People who don't want to see that Arteta is more of an issue now to this team than the players never start to see the real issues. Until Arteta changes, na borehole we go dey dig dey go

mostob:
You're misquoting me. Apart from his football ability, Sanchez was a leader at arsenal. He always had the desire and drive to win. Now, there is our black panther wannabe captain that can not offer anything on both front.

OK... So we need a Sanchez type of player. I'm up for it 100%. Not just 1 sef, but 2 in attack and 1 in midfield

Mehn... I don tire for arsenal

KingAlabi:


In my good heart as a United fan

Come take lingard and Jones

They will save your season

if only we have Bruno instead of xhaka, our season will be saved.

If really you have a good heart, come give us Bruno .
Mind you, it'll also take tre.vor off una neck, and martial confidence will be boosted.

Good deal and win-win for both of us.

How you see am

Fkhalifa:
Maybe Arterta told them to cross a lot to improve stats of "Chances created".

Why cross when you don't have a Giroud or Lewa?

omo... This one enter

KingAlabi:
Jodera

Hope you are alright

Hope is your season going

No allow me send 600yrs to you oo

mostob:
Yea bro..he is the captain fah.

I have my reason for wanting Sanchez ahead of Erikson few pages back.
One guy was analysing our match on justarsenal. .after reading his analysis, na there my eyes open.

me I watched Sanchez play the season before he left and also the season he left, he was massively flopping for us. That arsenal he left is 3x better than this one, so there's nothing he can do to for now.

Maybe if you say Sanchez-esque type of player, I'll agree, but Sanchez himself.. No no no!!

Forget all the analysis guys are talking about Sanchez, this Sanchez will do nada at arsenal. It seems we forgot how frustrating Sanchez was to us before departing. If you did forget, me I remember oo

mostob:
Immediately i saw the line-up, i just lost hope. AMN,Dani,Mo are all fit but na half fit Partey and Xhaka start. Even at worse, Tim Akinola and willock would have been a better choice.

I have always defend Arteta but they can sack him now. He no get sense.

when something is not working, you will change it.

Na wetin I deh always talk. I dey defend am, but even baresi and maldini no go fit defend am again. It's not as if he doesn't have plethora of choices to choose before bringing out that stupid personnel. One thing I will always thank Emery for even tho him fvk up is unearthing saka and martinelli into our squad wen others are floundering. But Arteta will still play dem Willian, and other underperformers when probably this might be Nelson, balogun or ESR breakthrough season. It's just so bad.

We are shouting no number 10 since, but we have ESR who shone in that role in Europa 2 seasons ago, why not nurture him in Europa this season then carefully integrate him in EPL.. Who knows?

Like so many things I'm just angry with Arteta for that I can't just defend him again. And I don't want to even talk about our drab and stupid football sef.

Mtcheww, I just deh vex

mostob:
I think it is the other way round. We are tired of him.

Roland17:
Well.. guess who is playing over 90 minutes in this game in that midfield?

Yet, someone will blame xhaka.
I don't even have any qualms if he's the only one available, but when there are options, not just options, but better options, I know who I'll point my finger to, and it won't be xhaka

eph12:
Will assnal still score a goal before the end of this year?

omo... The way it is our best goal for the season go be that pk wey we score una oo

Roland17:
Auba’s body language has continued to be poor and indifferent.

him sef fit don tire for Arteta's tactics

Roland17:
I don’t think anyone is remotely saying Arteta should take all the responsibilities because our players are poor but to continuously shield him away is irresponsible.

Tho, one thing I know is that I will mostly blame a coach who set his system the wrong way alongside wrong personnel cos even a wrong system can make even the right players play wrongly.

Unless Arteta plays a right system befitting of arsenal standard and boldly using right selections, then I'll continually blame him more than the players we're parading

Roland17:
Why are you afraid of saying the obvious? These were your posts after you saw the lineup and before the game started.

lol... Who said I'm afraid to say the obvious

I wan know weda the faction exist make I register cos presently I'm *pro blame Arteta " until is see positive performances, lineups and personnels

BlueRayDick:
There was Holding ball watching while Son was surveying and picking his angle before shooting fro the first goal....There's a certain Xhaka that has always passed the ball to the back when.we should be on the offensive.......Then there's a Willian who will not Mark but disguise as though he's got the opposition attack covered.

But let's forget about all the aforementioned and blame Arteta for the two goals

in as much that you might not wanna blame Arteta, but is formation is definitely asking for a loss.

You can't put xhaka who's underwhelming wen you have ceballos and elneny in the squad, then you blame xhaka for not doing what he normally doesn't do.

Willian dey disguise since, and Nelson have been spectacular for us. Yet you still start Willian over Nelson.

Lacazette have been gaining confidence in 10role but was abysmal in 9 role since, yet you still do the opposite for him

Mehn... If I tell you I'm not losing faith in Arteta eh, I'm lying!

Lol..

Are we seeing two factions here?

"Pro blameArteta " and "Anti blame Arteta"

BlueRayDick:
When our elders say " problem ni dey finish", they haf Arsenal in mind. Partey injury finsh, only for him to be partnered with Xhaka that has no been at his best recently.

Let's just hope Hojberg will not bulky all over the middle today sha.

na wetin dey vex me. Of the 3 possible options to partner with Partey, na the least of all he picked. Like I'm just not happy with that partnership. Kai
