Away from trolling and banter, why can't Sarri try Kante as DM, Jorginho as CM (Like Xavi) and Fabregas as the AM?
Kovacic isn't too daring and Barkley's first instinct is to shoot after beating his man even if it's not the best alternative.

Then that won't be Sarriball.

In Sarri's system, the deepest midfielder, in this case Jorginho, is not really there to defend. He's there to recycle possession, detect the tempo of the game and keep things ticking. Defending is first and foremost the job of the five advance players and maybe the fullbacks; they are supposed to press and win possession high up the pitch. If for whatever reason this high press fails and Jorginho is forced into defending, which he really isn't good at, Sarri wouldn't see it as his (Jorginho's) fault, he will just see a failed high press and will probably be thinking of improving the pressing system. He really won't be thinking of replacing Jorginho or moving him high up the pitch.

His system, which he trusts so much, is really rigid. If it works, great, if it doesn't then maybe you should give him the sack

Men of todaaaaaaay!
How did we get here?
Back in day, you don't hear all these shitty cow dung stories about wives fighting and stabbing or trying to stab their husbands. As a matter of fact, we married more than two wives and yet we have them under control.
And here we are, can't even manage a relationship, talk more of one wife in a marriage.
The land needs cleansing.
The gods need to be appeased.
Aru!

Western media brainwashing and the whole "real man" mantra. Apparently the more a man can swallow all the bulllshiitts a woman feeds him the more a "real man" he is.

Obviously the op is hoping to be the realest man

at 2-1 what do you expect?
Especially the manner they conceded, I really don't know what your problem is Emery or arsenal players?

Too many toxic fans in our fanbase. Totally incapable of looking things objectively and putting things in perspective. These fans have been repeatedly told that transition period between coaches such as ours at the moment would have rough days and we as fans are supposed to stick with the team and stay positive. But no, they just have to spew their negativity at any opportunity.

I mean the two best teams in England at the moment, city and liverpool, had the same issue (it was actually worse with Liverpool).

Just give the man a year or two before judging him FFS.

We can't keep a clean sheet to save our lives. Sort that defence man.

I'll take the win. Fulham definitely the best opponents to come up against after that disastrous pool game.

Stale as fuckck

MrDojo:
Broda, Stan is the king of A$$holes. He does not give two bleeps about our team. Especially now that he his the 100% owner.

I want to be proved wrong tho, but I just can't see it happening.

I see a lot hate towards Stan but I'm finding it hard to get on board with that. The man obviously isn't a football fan but he's OK'ed a number of expensive transfers recently. We spent around 100 million pounds to bring in Aubameyang and Lacazette and we've spent 30-40 million pounds on Ozil, Xhaka, Mustafi, Sanchez. Factually, we've had a higher net spent than Chelsea in the last few years.

TBH, I think the major problem has been that we bought really poorly. To put things in perspective, we bought mustafi and xhaka for a combined fee of 70 million pounds while Chelsea bought Kante and Rudiger for around 60 million.

Edit: to be fair, we've also made some good buys, Sanchez, Auba and Lacazette but those few poor buys will bite us more than it will say Man Utd, city or Chelsea because these clubs are significantly wealthier and can easily replace bad buys. We have no margin of error when making purchases.

sod09:
they should ban free transfer in arsenal till further notice
Even Mr kola ain't better too

LMAO

Arsenal just love them cheap and the free transfers seem to cost the club more in the future. Kola is on a huge wage and the club would find it difficult to move him on if they wish to.

Hector Bellerin is back....

Thank God. Watching Litchstener has been an absolute nightmare. The most expensive free signing.

BikeMan:
what's Assnal Favourite part of the table now? I heard you went on one unbeaten streak to still remain there

Mtcheeew.

I'm done with you.

BikeMan:
Unlike you and sodick, i can't live with not contending for major trophies So when a trophy-less coach is losing against the Wolves and Leicester of this world, i gotta call for his head

I didn't argue that. A proper plastic fan.

You'll definitely stop supporting Chelsea and probably switch to City or PSG when Roman leaves and Chelsea are back being the mid table team that they are.

I don't like this. Man Utd pls bring Jose back.

BikeMan:
Just give it time, the pains would be over soon.

No pains man. I understand football. You win some you lose some.

Heard you were calling for Sarri's head after only 6 months. A proper plastic fan.

BikeMan:
so this guys really never wanted to play for Mourinho. Naso my Emery guys dey shout this is our Arsenal o

You are just one annoying fuckkerr. All you do is go around telling fans of other teams not to enjoy and feel good when their teams are doing well because they will lose some day. Your ignorant brain didn't tell you that football is a game of win some and lose some. What true fans do is savour and enjoy the winning moments while sticking with their teams in bad times.

You are just a terrible fan and you'll fit right at home supporting Chelsea.

I'm not enjoying this. You guys are back being good. Fuckkck Liverpool for getting Mou sacked. Fuckkck them even more for yesterday.

An athiest that cannot read. Shocker!!!

If you wanna act like a pedantic, condescending moronnn at least have an idea what the person you are quoting is trying to say, you weed smoking, dull fucktarrrd.

Whoa...finding it hard to believe humans can vomit money.

Fuckck it, I don't believe it.

sod09:
that nigger wasn't even sure of his team making top4
He jumps around like puma I doubt he's stable

quite annoying. He only pops on my mention when Arsenal loses. I mean every team loses so if you want to engage me, do so at a random time not wait until my team loses.

He appears like a coward to me.

..

BTW, fuckck Oliver

[quote author=BikeMan post=74277865][/quote]I really don't know who you are but you appear as a coward to me. Only popping up on my mentions when Arsenal loses or draws. I bet you think you are some genius right now. You couldn't engage me when Arsenal were winning. At least ndidbabe was brave enough to do that.

Fuckkk off coward.

ndidibabe:
Emery's fully implemented system is all I can see in Arsenal's three consecutive matches. Sometimes, I iwonder how people view poor as excellent.

Emery has been here 6 months, Klopp has been around for three years, have had multiple transfer windows and 100s of millions to fix his team. He finished 8th in his first season and actually was beaten by Emery's Seville in that season. You literally can't judge both managers off this one game.

Overreaction from your likes is what I hate.
You can always change team by the way.

Leicester beat Chelsea and Man City in the space of a week but just gotten beaten by Cardiff. The Robin Hood of football

fredoooooo:
I wear the shoe and I know where it pain , a draw or Assnal win is ok for me . You can wish for whatever you want ,na 90 mins go decide all....
Asking for a favour from Assnal is like asking a cow to pass through a needle
You and who dey battle 4th position ? We know our target , 4th is automatically what Assnal is destined to fight for ..

Keep opening your teeth like you mean what you are saying. You are not challenging for the title, there are three teams who are much better than you, so automatically you are playing for fourth.

fredoooooo:
Beat Liverpool or a draw soup abeg ... be useful for once in your entire life na abi kilode gan

You are a Chelsea fan. You are not in the title race. We are basically battling for fourth together along with Man Utd. The reality is you need favours from Liverpool.

BlueRayDick:
Litchsteiner should not be seen near the field at all today, in fact he shouldn't be in England

The thought of Mane or Salah running at Litchstener gives me goosebumps

raumdeuter:
You know City are defending champs and Valencia was flirting with bottom of the table?

Oh man, it still doesn't disprove my point. That they are shiiittt this season doesn't stop them from being a big, historic Club. They won the la liga twice in the early 2000s and appeared regularly in the latter stage of the Champions League at that time. They also finished in the top four last season.

They are more the equivalent of Spurs. Basically, I'd say Valencia vs Madrid=Spurs vs Man Utd.

raumdeuter:
So what is the equivalent of Spurs vs City or United in Spain using a capital team(Madrid or Atletico) as example

The equivalent of Spurs vs City or Utd I think would be Real Madrid vs Valencia or Sevilla. Just very good teams with decent history coming against each other.
Still top games.

But there isn't that hate or intense rivalry that goes back almost a century as is the case with
Spurs vs Arsenal or Chelsea and Real Madrid vs Athletico or Barcelona.

raumdeuter:
So all these you showed are still 10K below capacity In London in top games

Will we have Madrid stadium having over 10k below capacity on derbies or vs Barcelona?

Top games for Spurs= games against the likes of Man city, Man utd. These aren't derbies and are not equivalent to Real Madrid vs Athletico, or Real Madrid vs Barcelona.

The equivalent of those games would be the London Derbies like Spurs vs Arsenal or Chelsea, and if Spurs are in their own stadium the games would record almost 100% attendance..

LongD:
Even vs Liverpool

Alright. Thanks for helping out.

I think raum is just arguing for the sake of not "losing", no disrespect meant

It's a very common knowledge that Spurs are one of those clubs that regularly fill their stadium to between 90-100%

raumdeuter:
Show us Spurs games that were not derbies and higher risk and lets see if it exceeded the Chelsea numbers

First screenshot is Spurs vs Leicester. Second is Spurs vs Man city. 2017/2018 games.

raumdeuter:
So the restriction that started in December was why the stadium didnt fill up in November?

Nope, if you actually bothered to read the link I posted, it explained that restriction on ticket sales have been in place for high risk games (e.g Spurs vs Chelsea) even as far back as 2017. The restriction starting this December is for all games. Spurs vs Burnley for instance would have restrictions from now on.

LongD:
The restriction started in December

Yes, that's for all games. But some games are deemed high risk and there has been restrictions in place for such even as far back as 2017

The “restricted general sale” limitation is standard practice for fixtures that are deemed high-risk events, as is the case with a high-profile London derby between rivals Chelsea and Tottenham.[i][/i]

My whole point is that Spurs are a very big club and can easily sell 80000 tickets especially for a London Derby. That's why they are expanding the white Hart lane to 62000

Spurs were forced to play their Champions League fixtures at Wembley last season and sold out all three matches against Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and CSKA Moscow
