Henry on Arsenal's performance: "I was disappointed to see us [Arsenal] sit deep to protect a 1-0 [result], we do not behave like a big team in these games. The teams mentality comes from the captain & manager; it seems his [Arteta's] mentality is always to play like an underdog"

You see this striker thing, I remember saying it here that one of our many issues is finishing but panel of judges said we no too get creativity.

Watching Auba is an eyesore, for Bleep sake he doesn't have to start every match ohhhh Arteta. This was a Laca kind of game , ginger ginger .

How did Eleny even surface on Artetas mind?

A reasonable Coach should by now know that Partey need a defensive minded player. AMN have by far shown this in the absence of Xhaka. Which bring me to the kind of defensive midfielders we buy or even gather. If u want to buy a defensive midfielder buy an outright one not all these he can play there we have been gathering like pawpaw

You see how the "defense wins you league" crew abandoned the thread. When we start squeezing wins against some bunch of "never was" they'll come and start telling you how defence is moving the team to greater heights.

Its like a bunch of Zombies with the remote in Arteta's hand. If you noticed, man utd weren't eager to attack, but we invited them in and bruno and even fred began to get expressions in the final third. And this Stupid coach still didn't see it fit to just do something different and watch the result change. Must everything be an emergency meeting before he gets the nod to change?


I won't like, i was happy Lokonga didn't play. But i expected AMN for a game thar was planned to make Partey boss the Midfield. But this man still no get sense. How dyu expect Tava to be running down as LB and LW throughout 2nd half like he's some Ghostrider?


Dyu what is scarier?


Afcon starting and things get even worse. That would be the best time to sack him IMO.

True though, but you noticed he lost all aerial duels with Mctominay too. Then DDG has studied Auba clips for r2 that when he wanted to shoot that shot, DDG shifter three steps to his left before he made that save. A saner Auba woulf have taken the free space as DDG was already expecting that.


Lets be also real, those free balls Saka was seeing before he was closed down, volleys should have been his options instead of trying to cut and shoot.


He saw three and one volley for pass DDG na.
A Richalison, Ollie Watkins, ESR, would volley that ball.

In 2019/2020 season with them Luiz and co, we conceded 48 goals after 38 matches, some teams that finished above us and made top 4 even conceded more, proving that not goals conceded failed us that season rather our woeful attack. Instead of working on that attack first we went on a spending spree buying new defenders after that season scapegoating those defenders that played behind the worst midfield we've ever had, yet still held their own.

Fast forward after splashing almost 200M on defence we have conceded 20 goals in just 14 matches, we are not even midway into the season yet. At this rate if I extrapolate they will concede more than 48 by end of season. Peeps will come here and praise these defenders for holding their own for dropping a worse stat despite playing behind a better Midfield compared to what Luiz and co coped with in that 2019/2020 season.

Take a look at the 2019/2020 table below and tell me if splashing on defence after that season was the best call when you compare with other teams result. Another look at our goals stat further proves that we neglected that area and we've declined much further ever since.

When you are to make business decisions you look at data and analyse critically you don't make decisions because you don't like someone's face.

I'm not surprised as I have always opined attack is the biggest problem of this team since like 2 seasons ago.

Look at how we run in for counters they will isolate the man with the ball sluggishly running behind him. Till that one due to lack of options will trap the ball pass back to Tavares then back to Ramsdale. rinse-repeat

The Tavares experiment must end. The kid has caused enough damage with his style of play. That first goal came as a result of his poor pass to nobody, which Man utd transitioned and Ronaldo swept home. If we went into half time with the lead, no way Man utd would have came back.
Tavarez was my only disappointment as I no longer consider Aubameyang disappointing, but expected.

The only mistake Arteta made was to not start AMN and Tierney. Asides that, his selection was OK. I did not expect us to win because United had the better team and they were at home.

To be sure of beating teams like United, Chelsea, Liverpool or City will require a lot of investment and patience. I don't trust Arteta but he seems to be tugging on. On moving to the next phase of our development (next season) we may really need to change manager.

I sincerely hope we do, realistically if we don't do anything about this our attacking play in January and are banking on this current squad then the future is bleak and we won't make top 4 this season.

Don't mind them they will just make assertions not backed by data, it was senile Fergie that first spewed that line and he has been called out for it by Sky Sport cos when sky sport analysed it closely they discovered it was false.

Lol... Na ystdy I know say Arteta na real coward. I thought he was afraid of only Liverpool and man city but ystdy just confirmed that we should be ready to park the bus wen we play any big club. If we can't play our normal game against man u, I wonder how we want to even improve. Worst part is that man u started with fear, but we gave them confidence and you can't try that to a Ronaldo team

I wish we can sack this coach cos ystdy just proved the we're building nothing with this man.

This your talk no make sense honestly. Team that Watford beat 4-1 and have been in horrible form is what you said we need investment and patience to win?? Which investment and patience dey to win Carrick for crying out loud?

I'm not even angry that we lost, cos it's their home. It's the parking of the bus and playing cowardly that's really paining everyone. If after a season, a coach still park bus against teams, you think that coach will take any club far??

If Arteta has sense, the next place to invest is in the attack. We need a top winger and a striker. I don't mean the Pepe or Martinelli types of signing we do o, I mean better players way get brain to end the season high.
