When you play in Ajax you are only a part of a whole. They play as a whole and so can be very difficult to beat.
Any player will look good in that Ajax set up. In fact, many players who looked good at Ajax came out to realise they still needed a little more learning. In recent years- De Ligt, VdB, Ziyech, de Jong etc.

This has been their tradition. How do you think they can sell all their stars and still compete favourably the following season using fresh legs?

Succinctly put. Those guys still have lots to learn truly. But i like the idea that they don't need over talented players to fit the system. That's why i really hail Ten Hag. Na better manager. Can use what's at his disposal to get max results

daveP:
I'll agree once a Nigerian forward is back in reckoning in UCL limelights. That's my angle anyways. I can't wait though.

Do you rate players as such?

Paterson Daka is a better forward than Haller.

Ten Hag is a good manager. But it actually stems from the club's traditions. They play that way. They have been playing that way since I can remember their history. All their youth teams play that way. In fact players start learning the pattern from age 6. It's in their blood.

So while we accept he is a good manager. He only just has a perfect understanding of the Ajax system. He will have to implement that system wherever he goes or he will burn. That's why great former Ajax managers that go elsewhere always look to sign players from Ajax or their ex players. A Barca coach once signed all former Ajax players into his first eleven. What's that his name self?...

Welbeck and sirnogoal will score 100 goals

Lol. Funny, but what you said is almost true. Sanogo will score 50goals and you will be begging for him.

We sometimes forget that Sanogo was once the hottest young prospect from France after the U21 championship. Sanogo, Pogba, Kondogbia, etc. #InsideLife

Akinbahm:
Do you mean same VdB of Manchester United?

Yeah bro...

Big fat lie sirnogoal won't score shít
Btw jodera said Haller wasn't good enough I told him West ham system doesn't give for no9 to excel I showed him links to back it up. He still disagree
Now he's excelling at Ajax you said the system is making him good can you give me link or fact to prove this cos I don't understand.
The system jodera disagree with is what you are trying to sell to me

Nothing concern me with your argument with Jodera. Plus I did not say Haller is a bad striker. Ask daveP how this discussion started. He was comparing Haaland with Haller. I will choose Haaland with my eyes closed in over 10 random attempts.

Why comparing Haller with haaland
Why not with isak, daka, lacazette, Werner, morata, martial

Spy360:
I'll take Harland 10times with my eyes closed.

Haller is scoring because of Ajax system. Ajax has excellent chance creators. I wonder how they source their players and make them blend like juice.

Burnley's cornet would be more preferable 4 u guys if u knw what's best 4 arsenal

You are wise...

I'll take Daka (with a pinch of salt though), Werner and Morata. The rest can rest.

Thanks, we have Balogun.

Newcastle have scored more goals than Arsenal this season. We are 5th and they are bottom.

They prioritised attack over defense.

Daka that can't bench ihenacho or aging vardy

Did i? I was more about who will fit this current form of Arsenal. Thus Haller. Haaland will be starved of service the was auba and Laca are if he comes to this current setup.

You forget the salt?

What's about midield? There's only attacking and defending. Nothing like 'midfielding'

Midfielders are equally divided as either attacking or defending. So choose which one you dey.

Exactly
Attacking and defending
The same attacking and defending midfielder are the one pressing and releasing key passes for strikers

We signed an attacking midfielder last summer in Odegaard. Are you saying we should have signed a defensive midfielder?

Yes we were hoping bissouma will partner partey this season only for us to see awilo lonkonga

So you are also prioritising defense over attack because Bissouma is a DM. Then we are on the same page.

Bissouma-Partey would have taken us to like 4th now.

I give up if you think bissouma only attribute is defending
Bissouma ain't even a DM but a cm

Lol.

You keep finding the neutral spaces.

Even central midfielders are either CAM or CDM. Which one is Bissouma?

Don't give up yet, we are almost there.

Bissouma... midfielder
Not a defender not an attacker
Keyword midfielder

Not that way. Nigerians in UCL has been on an all time low in 10yrs. Asin playing active roles every UCL night. Thus my stance.

una don start again abi??

Willock will be out for blood

Ordegaard replaces lacazette(a surprising decision tho). Same line up.

Hope we get the three needed points today oo

Let him be out with flesh and blood, as long as we get the three points, no lele

Not surprising to me though because Odegaard needs his confidence back and this bottom placed Newcastle is the right team to feature him while Lacazette can always come in like in the 60th minutes to have a say like he always do

Amen to your 3 points posture, prayer and position

Was odegaard lacking in confidence before? I don't think so, but yeah he needs starts especially as he isn't a bad player.
What do you think about tavarez/Tierney situation? Do you think it's cool as Tierney lost his spot even tho he's back to full fitness?

Arteta is using the same formation that served Wenger for years including the invincible year. Ødegaard will be our Bergkamp while Aubameyang will be Henry.

Also it's a good thing Tavares starts today so that his confidence doesn't drop after the Liverpool debacle, this will allow Tierney return against the more difficult Man United match.
