Curveor of Cks

Cazorla-ic moments. Sweet ones

I'm talking about the ambidexterity.

I just dey laugh.
Can't believe we lost this match.

Jodera:
Which Kain savage name you give Tierney like this

Jodera:
LW we have Martinelli and ESR. With the way ESR deputised Martinelli last season and how we're signing Midfielders, It'll be hard for ESR to play Midfield again.

As for RW, we're lacking Saka deputy except Jesus or Marquinhos plays there well

ESR is injured Currently and you know how his injury dey go. At least we have 3 players for RW. There is only Martinelli for LW at the moment.

Spy360:
Sell both Mari and Holding and get a decent leftie CB to backup Gabriel.

Like I said, Tomi is injured and White may probably play RB till he comes back which makes selling Holding a big mistake

Spy360:
I already said we need a leftie CB. Mari is not good enough to backup Gabriel from what I have seen in preseason, Holding is right footed and so is Saliba and White, and Saliba has been showing far more promises than Holding. Even I am tipping him to drop White, if care is not taken. It is on this premise that I suggest rather than keep Holding we should trade him and other fringe players for a marquee signing. With the presence of White and Saliba on RCB, Holding will hardly see games at all.

I think you are overhyping Holding. He struggles in a back 4. He is slow and rash in his decisions.

If Holding being rightfooted is what is worrying you, relax...he has played as a LCB during Wenger days. I'm not hyping Holding...it is what it is. The only reason White is starting ahead of him is because of ball playing ability. That's why anytime Arteta needs a solidity in the middle to close a match, he would bring him on. And how sure are you that Saliba will perform well in EPL? This one you wan sell Holding because of him

daveP:
I saw a clip. Zee hug Mane and greeted the next but passed Madam. Lol

Probably her injury was not a mistake for her to ignore Desiree. Just saying

Alozie is at fault for that goal, she should have close down that Zambian winger. It was just an unfortunate goal.

Rita should just drop her retirement letter by tomorrow morning. She has tried...

Alozie playing that corner with her left brought a lot of Santi Arsenal memories @ davep

BlueAngel444:
na Barca dey dream like that

Dream way una get since 7 years ago

Oga rest. Na Kondo i blame. Next season ain't too far already.

sanpipita:
To disrupt training plans and demotivate the opposing team, tbh I don't think south Africans can handle what's coming, Morocco did worse to the Ghana u17 team, sprayed chemicals in their dressing room and the Ghana girls struggled with breathing.

So disheartening. And CAF is not doing anything about it. Maybe they should just join their Arab brothers and leave us alone.

Deltamani:
Banyana Banyana had to change the venue after the grounds maintenance staff switched on water sprinklers as they took to the pitch.

TBH, things like this are what make me hate those North Africans when it comes to football. Why sprinkling? It's not as if the pitch will be used for the main match. Why not sprink early then? SMH

lovewins:
I think it's okay to make a case for Macleans without necessarily shifting narratives.

Facts, MacLean got more time to prove herself than Monday Gift did and He hasn't shown an iota of promise so far. For someone who is fighting to be included in a position that's already very swamped, and mind you only got it as a replacement for another player who couldn't make it, she isn't making a good case for herself.

You can't compare Gift to MacLean here. How many minutes has MacLean played so far? The way you people are dismissing this girl, one would think we have a sharp striker somewhere.

ObaIgwe1:
But we have 2 experienced players in Martinelli and ESR covering LW already. But should Pepe leaves, who else is very good enough to cover RW apart from Saka?

Pepe will probably leave and I don't think Arteta see ESR as a winger so he may likely be shopping for another LW to deputise Martinelli. Look like marquinho is not going on loan.

Spy360:
With what Saliba is dishing out this preseason, I strongly doubt Holding will see game time. Saliba is seriously threatening White's position and even if Arteta wants to lock shop, it's Saliba he will use instead of Holding.

I don't want players warming the bench. I want players who can compete and attract even games. We cannot keep Holding if he is a third choice CB. Third choice is OK for strikers not CBs.

I like the way you trimmed the squad. That should be the way to go for Arteta. Any player in that list should be good enough for a starting berth. If not, they go leave ASAP.

Come on Spy, why are you talking like this bro? Man City have Laporte,Dias,Stone and Ake. Liverpool have VVD,Matip,Konate and Gomez. And you think we don't need a 3rd CB? Especially with Tomi's injury woes, we need Holding more than ever because White will be playing RB. Then when you think of the fact that we're playing in Europe this season, we need Holding.
@ the bolded, I'll disagree. Based on Ruggedness,pure defending and physique, Holding is our best defender. You forget he started manhandling Costa since he was 20 years old or so

Jodera:
I don't know why you feel we should sell Holding sha. There are some players that are good squad depth and can see out a game when you need them to. Holding is one of Such players.
A good Squad doesn't need all players to be world class or sort. It also needs the ugly players who can help a team in terms of different tactics and Holding seems one of such players. Maybe the loss to tottenham is still playing on our mind since that's what made us lose the top 4 and Holding was at fault, but we should remember that the match against tottenham was Holding's only big flaw that season. He was very instrumental for us seeing out most of the wins last season.

Mari for me needs to be loaned/sold as well as the others you listed, then if we can get a decent winger, then it's perfect.

GK: Ramsdale/Turner

CB: Gabriel/Saliba, White/Holding/Walters

Lb : Zinchenko/Tierney/Tavarez (if not loaned)
RB : Tomiyasu/Cedric

DM : Partey/Elneny
CM : Odegaard/Viera/Zinchenko, Xhaka/Lokonga/Tielemans*

RW: Saka/Viera/Marquinhos/new player*
LW : Martinelli/ESR

CF : Jesus/ Nketiah

So that's 26-27 players in the squad (including Tielemans, Walter and new player)

Take away Tavarez loan and academy Walters and we'll have 24-25 players. Fit and ready to rumble

Abeg forget the idea of another RW coming to arsenal. If any winger will be signed, it will be a LW.

Spy360:
So far so good. But more work needs to be done.

The squad is bloated with some areas of weakness still noticeable.

We need a back up for Gabriel. If we can sell Holding and Mari then get a decent left footed CB, that will be good.

Also, we if can offload the following- Pepe, AMN, Bellerin, Nelson, Torriera, and say Leno then use the proceeds to do a marquee signing especially in RW position. This would be 100%.

Sell who? Holding Abeg No. I'll rather we sell Mari.

Jodera:
I'm having a good positive feeling about this upcoming season.

same here too.... Until Tomi and Tearknee matter come pour sand inside

Tomiyasu and Tearknee will definitely be out for the first 5 or 6 games of the season. I still think AMN should be retained at least till January.

isan:
Monday showed quality in those few minutes in the same , maclean miss one on one and fall over a few times ,

Not every player will impress within 15 minutes and also Monday Gift has been part of the set up for a while now. As for the one on one, which of our strikers has never missed one on one before?

I don't think he is. Aside from the injury woes, he's that kind of RB that can fit in.

I don't just like him. He is not flexible and explosive like I like my RB.
