A Lacazette that doesn’t score after 90mins of play is no better than Balogun that is languishing on the bench......

Know this and know peace.
Auba without goals is useless
Same can't be said of Laca

Know this and know peace!!

Na striker wey no dey score goals u will see a full doctoral thesis being churned out in his defence when his job role comes in question..... angry
Of course!
Modern games demands that a striker should bring more than poaching to the field.

I wonder why we have to incorporate Laca in a 442 formation instead of the 4231 we're normally using, and why we started seeing some form of domination and league wins if Laca is soooo useless the way y'all are painting him out to be lipsrsealed

We played good game against Aston Villa, Leicester (at least 30min), Watford.

This is far cry from the Sissy games we played against Norwich, Burnley, Brighton, crystal palace bar the Tottenham game which we all know that the reason was because it's a derby

There's a reason the inzhaghis are no longer in vogue and the chicaritos are mostly bench warmers.

Even Tammy Abraham been see bench under tuchel even with him reasonable goalscoring stats.

The reasons are not peculiar to only Pep team

Eeeez like u love godigbo strikers abi ? cheesy

Okay on a serious note , I don’t hate Lacazette; in fact I played more like him when I played upfront on the field , but I know that kind of playing style doesn’t earn u more goals.

A striker is expected to get the goals for the team no matter the match condition; not like when the opposition decides to focus on u the only thing u will offer the team is ur steely hold on the ball and ability to draw foul. Lacazette gives me this kind of vibes , does it often and makes me crave for a perfect 9 and not a number 10 wearing number 9 jersey .

Lol... I know you don't hate him, just that you prefer Auba to him(like a million times). I also prefer Auba to Laca too. My main argument is that you people are seeing Laca as some sort of balogun or nketiah when or if auba is not available just because he doesn't score or assist, which is what I'm against.

I'm not saying Laca is the perfect striker or that he should be our number 9 over auba. What I'm just saying is that since auba is off form presently, Laca should sit him out. This scenario have happened before and arsenal still played well, dominated teams and won games. I don't know why you guys are sounding as if I'm suggesting nketiah, martinelli or balogun should Mann our 9 against man u grin

Lol.. The way Liverpool will prepare against arsenal or Chelsea is different from the way they'll prepare against say crystal palace or Watford. I'm still saying it, bone to bone, this present arsenal no be Liverpool mate. Arnold said that the way they ran and pressed against arsenal, they've not done that in the league to any team this season. That's to tell you how they mean us that night.

Lemme just ask you: who would be your starting 11 if you wanna play against Liverpool?

Ok na.
Make dem drop laca na,
We go see.
Shebi we saw the impact he had since crystal palace,
In Aston villa, did laca score no,
However villa couldn't even have a short on target,
Immediately laca was off, dem dey press us , same with lichester city,
The issue arsenal had is that the chance created were usually wasted by Auba making us uneasy.
With laca chances ar always created but Auba did not out them away

Baba, leave that thing oh. Liverpool study their opponents better than any other team I have seen in the league. Klopp employing the hard press on Arsenal was a result of him studying Arteta’s tactics especially when we have the ball. He knew if he increased the press, Arsenal lacked the tactics to beat the press.

Simply put, Liverpool used Arsenal to increase their goal difference. It had nothing to do with respecting Arsenal like they will respect Chelsea, City or any other formidable team with good coaches. He knew the opportunity was there and he pressed hard for 90 minutes because he knew Arteta did not have an answer for it. Liverpool will not dare such sustained degree of press against Chelsea/ City. Arsenal under Arteta give teams way too much respect and it never ends well. We end up conceding cricket score lines despite his best efforts to park his trailer tactics/formation.

Klopp knows Arsenal are predictable and he needs the goals because it may come down to it on the final day and that is what he exploited. Klopp knows Arteta is not even close when it comes to tactics. Arteta is using us to learn the work and many of you are comfortable with that degree of mediocrity.

Oga for Liverpool,
It's not only the starting 11 but formation and tactics.
We were to play.
a back 3
With partey pairing with amn.

with wing back of taveres and pepe/saka

The front 3 should be 2 striker auba and Martinelli troubling the full backs.(which is the major Liverpool strength.
Take out the full backs u will have their midfield going to support them.
The 10 role could be laca or ESR depending on tye reading of the game.
At substitute, bring pepe and any speed demon or saka.
With direct instructions to trouble their full backs.
We draw or lose by not more than 2-0

In short, lemme start from d summer. I woulda kept Saliba ,used White and loko-Shit money to buy bisouma. That's BTW.

Now with this team against Liverpool, the usual GK and defenders. Midfield of Partey , AMN and ESR flanked by Martinelli and Saka with Laca as CF. Readiness will determine who starts between AMN and Elneny. Auba will replace saka in second half when he tires and will play right wing not LEFT. Odegard and others will be brought on later to kill time.

Formation is 4231, game plan is stay compact when we ain't got d ball and press and press anytime we've got d ball with full backs minding their back.

I agree with you 100% on what you said.

As for the bolded, it's not as if we're comfortable with him, just that we're supporting him and just hoping for the best from him. Me personally, I know we're in for a long ride with all these rebuilding ish they're spewing around but I just have to support my arsenal

Lol.. So you no really like this lokonga cheesy grin

Why do you think Auba will shine on the right? Remember he's not a good crosser and old age is affecting him, so his wing play won't be too effective.
You're also forgetting the fact that laca is not a 90min player in a high intende match

This is not true; at least for me I Know its not. I am one of the few people on this thread that thought Arteta should not be given the job at that time. The moment he was employed I wasn't too hopeful cos I know giving a big club to a school boy coach is going to be a long ride. When he got us the FA cup I thought maybe he's learnt enough to give the major title challengers a run for their money this season. He has been disappointing and I'm open to having him replaced if that will make us better.

Praising the team when they perform under him irrespective of the opponents does not necessarily mean one is comfortable with mediocrity. The same way criticizing them after a shameful showing does not mean one is hating.

Always allowing the opponents too much respect or space.

What do u think makes it possible for teams to grind out important results? It's simple, tell players what to do in such games.


That lack of effectiveness is why auba will come on when most players gets exhausted.
Auba's duty is to cross ball into d box not minding how bad. I will tell martinelli and ESR to hover around d box anytime auba pushes forward with d ball.

The Laca stuff is easy. Martinelli plays up front no matter whoever I bring on in place of Laca. Tho depending on what d opponents do, I might even bring on elneny when Laca gets tired and ESR then plays wide.

If u wanna destroy Liverpool play d football they never expected u to play. Everything about them says they r never prepared for such surprise.

Do u know why I love Martinelli? He's ready for any kind of football u wanna play. He's also got that killer instinct I need from all my players.


Arsenal is fvcking predictable, it hurts, to say d least.

BTW, when I found out WHITE can play as a DM I thought arteta was coming up with something but dude remains as clueless as ever. Use white and Gabby as ur first choice, then in d absence of partey or Xhaka , play White as a DM.
