Jodera:
On the contrary, if we have a good transfer window, it would make us better than we are presently. Even if it doesn't, next coach will/might use the good players effectively. We spent the 80m and even fans aren't too happy about the two signings, that should tell you how far

thank you for pointing that out for him.


That game would have been different if maddison and bissouma was in that game yesterday.

We literally played xhaka as our only midfielder, xhaka of all people!

Spy360:

The fact is that we needed a backup keeper and a defender apart from the CM and AM which we have all signed. So that's not the issue. The issue is Arteta. Bad coach. Simple.

yes, we needed a £30m back up goal keeper and a £50m defender who is not better than mavro and saliba over the likes of bissouma, maddison or sterling.



Great decision!

Fkhalifa:


That finger pointing ehn, a times he uses it to avoid the ball, he'll tell Leno to pass it to the next so he doesn't get dispossessed, something you'll see Elneny,Guen,Partey all asking for the ball.
Baba will be forming one yeye organising.

na that mumu activity him dey use for training take decive all the managers

daveP:
Says a lot about why Maddison or Coutinho were more important than more CBs.

More reason why arteta needs to go, he has failed the board already because I cannot understand why a coach will see how much we needed a creative attacking minded player but yet had the gut to spend over £80m on ramsdale and ben white

Spy360:
Can't Arteta tempt AMN to play RB with improved contract rather than scouting for unwilling players across Europe.

Arteta ego will not allow him to stoop so low in begging a player to play in a particular position

That is one of his non-negotiables remember?

Fkhalifa:

There's one thing about Xhaka that makes him look like he is the main engine of the team, The way he carries himself, his looks, with his finger pointing and leadership aura, coupled with how he gets the ball and launch a long pass to the flanks, you'll just want to have that body on the field.

But those who critically analyse football will know he's a just a scam/fraudster. When I see fans on Arsenal page on Instagram and other platforms hailing him, I just SMH.

Na that pointing of fingers dey pain me pass


Baba will kill our counter attack with his sluggishness then pass back to our defender.

The next thing you will see him pointing fingers like he is organising the team meanwhile the opposition has used that opportunity to maintain a defensive shape.

TechNana:
I have always disliked the idea of graduating from school after full 4 years and having to work for someone who'd pay me less than 200k/mnt.

Hence my desire to start saving 5k everyday for 2 years now, started in my 200level when I was 18, and I'm in my finals now. ( Over 2m saved )...

I'm graduating and my goal is making 400k or more monthly.

Now I want to invest N1m or less in any offline business that can profit me at least 5k daily, that's 150k/mnt.

I already have a first money POS shop, and I'm hopeful it would hit my 5k daily with time.

Invest with anything relating to agric

sammymarvin:
Yesterday I was kind of are angry with Arteta but ...I saw a new light yesterday ....Sambi to me Is not a defensive midfielder but he is a player in d mode of Fab that lad got passes in him and was always available to receive d ball it was as if he has been playing in d EPl for seasons...he effective made playing from d back easy...also the team fought thru out d 90mins never dropping there heads .....I was happy with Auba he added fire to our squad...Smith Rowe is a beast that guy will come good always running ..he was unlucky could have gotten a goal...I was impressed with Leno his distribution was better yesterday ....also our counters were good I believe with d coming back of Auba and laca will c us score goals

Now my anger with Arteta/Mari....If I was d Coach ...I will say to Mari magnet Lukaku..Man mark him...for grab...push etc u go hard on him...for d for first 40mins Mari was just to soft ...u don't do that when playing with Lukaku he is strong hence u need to b dirty on him...hit his knees..draw his shirt....do a CHELLENI on him..it's either Arteta dnt tell him or he was scared....now
I was also angry because Mikel
should have told Saka to drop back to form a back Five just to stop James I never blame Tierney for d goals becos he was trying to help Mari...
On a final note we need steel in some areas...a new defensive midfielder eg Ndidi..
In d defense may be Gabriel Mag...can be a beast because I have not been impressed with Mari looks like he is not in form
Then a right back a proper right back....to me Cedric and Bellerin should leave ..we need a new right back...
Finally I stick with my club I know the team will come good

How can you blame saka for not tracking back when it's obvious xhaka was the main culprit yesterday.

The back 5 consists of Cedric, holding, mari, teireny and xhaka.
Due to xhaka limitations, teireny had to play both LCB and LB role last match, that was way he lost his steam quickly.

Xhaka was meant to assists mari and holding especially against Lukaku, but that man was no where to be found forcing teirney to do his job and at the same time bombing forwad for a cross.


Ask yourself will Lukaku find it easy if partey was infront of the defenders yesterday?

Xhaka killed the match tempo with his frequent back pass and he destroyed our defensive shape because of his speed.


My consolation from that match is that sambi and partey double pivot might look promising atleast from what I have seen in that kid I must admit that arteta has struck a gold mine in that belgain kid.

iamoyindamola:

Next season we are going for 75m CB

while renewing xhaka contract for another 3 years

iamoyindamola:

This is someone that can't manage young prospect players, he doesn't even have the man management to handle top players.
Did you notice bernado Silva and sterling want out
Pep can handle them clean but can Arteta handle young saliba, guendouzi, Pepe, aubameyang etc

na saliba matter na it pain me pass. Because that £50m ben white fee for help us to get maddsion or sterling

iamoyindamola:

Then he's clueless if he's copying another person.
He can't think with his head

what were you expecting from someone that idolized pep?

Roland17:


See as you don use style shift the blame to ESR..

you don't get it, our lack of AM means we will make do with only 1 AM while Xhaka who neither helps the attack or defense is in the midfield doing nothing and our DM (partey, eleny or lokonja).


If you notice last season, when odegaard and smith rowe played together, our chances created started climbing up.

Roland17:


Abeg no dey type Arteta and good tactics for the same sentence. Na God I take beg you...

Most coaches will excel with the best players in the world..They don't require much coaching or execution of tactics.

Arteta dey copy pep tactis but sadly he doesnt have the type of pep players to implement am and his taste
for players dey cast everything.

How person go see mari, mavro and saliba play for training eveyday and yet he choosed mari over their two

I no dey even reason xahka wey be the reason why we lack midfield presence for match



Arteta na just copy cat wey forget say pep style of play requires high technical gifted players wey fit play their role very well

Spy360:

Your personel should determine your tactics. We can blame those lads all we want, but if the tactics is wrong even fighting spirit will disappear. Check out Kante under Lampard and now. I can't say more.

On the bolded...
You think you will go to Man City and pluck Sterling? Leicester is never going to sell Maddison this summer. To sign Ramsdale from championship club was a headache not to talk of forcing teams better than you to sell their best players. We fans don't realise how difficult it is to get choice players. It would be nice to get those players, but it's not gonna happen. You have to think of other options than what you put up there.

Leicester quoted £60m for maddison and he was eager to join us.

Before the Euros, man city wanted £60m for sterling

We spent £138m this transfer window, so tell me how would it be difficult?


Edit: his tactis is just like pep tactis which require 2 CM to feed the striker and assit the wingers and fullbacks

Basically that's why pep always chooses 4-3-3, because it allow two 8's to roam the midfiled while a sindle pivot DM to shield the defense from counter.


But arteta is using same tactics in a 4-2-3-1 formation which means unlike pep style of play that required two 8's that assisted the attackers thereby increases the creativity in the team especially through the middle.
Arteta plays with a lone 10 who is charged with the burden of providing support in both the left and right areas of the pitch all by himself and obviously our current 10 lacks the experience to play that position in full effect.

kokaneprodigy:

Let him keep telling himself whatever makes him sleep.

Arteta has good tactis but the lack of top quality personel meant he cant implement the tactis well

Just like his mentor pep, arteta needs high quality and high iq players to implement his plan to perfection.


Edit: his taste of players is also a suspect eg choosing willian over zaha last season.

Choosing ben white over bissouma, maddsion or sterling that would have improved our squad tremendously.

I'm not even talking about his romance with xhaka who is clearly the number one problem in the team.


If arteta wants to succed like his mentor, he needs to realise that he needs to choose high iq and high quality attacking players that will ease the creativity burden from ESR and Saka.

Odeggard is never enough since his previous stint here shows that he is not there yet. If arteta is serious in saving his job, he needs to bring in Auoara and either of bissouma or Bruno Gumaires while xhaka will play as a backup pending when he finallly leaves the club.

Akinbahm:


I'm waiting patiently for Arsenal to compete for Top 4 with Xhaka in that midfield. The soap Xhaka is using I need it also sincerely.

na the same soap arteta dey use, na it make the board never still sack am.

Spy360:

Forget our transfer business. Let's face the primary issue, our coach is poor. Our players felt lost on the pitch, it has nothing to do with personnel but tactics.

It has everything to do with personnel bro

If you replace xhaka, pepe and ESR with partey, sterling and maddison in that team, chelsea wouldn't have gotten it easy today, am I lying?

Modify : we spent £138m

Sterling and maddison would have come for £120m while lokonga will come for the remaining £18m

Fkhalifa:

You is just speaking what I've always had in my mind.

The only way arteta can save his job right now is for him to go back into the drawing board and restrategize

And also he needs to let go of that his useless ego because if results continue like this, I expect the dressing room to turn against him soon, because no one will want to take orders from a man who thinks he knows it all but at the same time he knows nothing at all.


Such a shame that we missed out on Tuchel last year, if only willian never had covid that December, if only

daveP:
Wenger: 20 losses in 116games


Arteta: 20/60games.



Epl is not for club legends turned managers!!!


Fact!!

Who dash monkey banana

iamoyindamola:

Shuu
You can't win argument with a dimwit, he will end up dragging you to his level

I don wash my hand comot from him matter

Spy360:

It's the way you put it. It's our failure to get quality midfielders and not the decision to sign White. After all he didn't play.

But let me tell you, we had a similar team when we beat them twice last season. So where's your judgement.

They had lukaku who won man of the match today, who did we add to our team


Edit: by the way, the acquisition of ben white means we can't bring in a xhaka replacement neither can we bring in a top quality creative player that would have transform our game like lukaku did today. we are going into game week 3 with -4 goal difference while not scoring a single goal, does that remind you of last season form?

iamoyindamola:

I tell you xhaka is badluck yet we extended his contract

I went back to arsenal archives to see how arteta was compared to xhaka...

....guess what, they were basically the same player only that arteta was surrounded with high technical players like carzola and rosicky meanwhile xhaka is surrounded with young kids with little experience and experience players that are not good at all.

Spy360:

Did we lose because we signed Ben White? Chai!

That £50 million could have gotten us a marquee player like maddison or sterling

While dino and saliba mount the defense over players like Mari

I doubt if lukaku would have gotten a fun day with dino or saliba to be honest

iamoyindamola:

Midfield has always been our strong department from wengay days cos they are the connection between attack and defence

the biggest culprits in our midfield is Granit Xhaka. His speed means that he is a liability when defending counter attack.
His frequent back passess means we can't kill any team in counter attack.
He has zero presence in the midfield, which means his midfield partner will be doing all the work in the midfield against 3 to 5 opposition players in that midfield.

No wonder partey keep getting injured everytime, partey will be doing all the work while xhaka will do notting all match. Same thing happened today, lokonja was the only arsenal player that ran the midfield meanwhile his partner was no where to be found


No wonder wenger struggled to qualify for top4 as soon as xhaka came to the team

Roland17:
Hibernian 2-1 Arsenal

Rangers 2-2 Arsenal

Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal

Tottenham 1-0 Arsenal

Brentford 2-0 Arsenal

Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal

Manchester City next!

If norwich pick up a point in their next game it means we will be in 20th position after game week 3, and only God knows the number of goals man city will pump us with.

Like this we might even enter game week 3 in 20th position with -8 goal difference



Another reason why signing ben white was a foolish decision

Jodera:
No be if Arteta pair dem?

xhaka leadership is needed in this team abi?


In other note Farteta has tamed martinelli, dude can't go full turbo mode again
