I think Zinny usually plays better whenever he is expected to be roasted. He should just concentrate on defending tomorrow.
This will be his undoing. We need him to just keep possession and not to lose the ball. As for Salah, Gabriel will mark him.

My opinion though ✌️

Asking Zinchenko to invert and defend at the same time is exactly why he sometimes make mistake. I've watched him enough to conclude he usually makes less mistake when he is saddled with one job on the pitch. That he should stay in his position doesn't mean he can't keep possession. There will just be limit to how he invert.

What is our tactics? If he does not invert then he isn't the best option for that position and Arteta isn't the manager.

We need Zinny to invert so that we can control the midfield. If we don't control the midfield Liverpool will roast us.

The biggest mistake we will do is to give Salah any form of attention. That will derail our team and structure. To deal with Salah is to simply block all passing lanes to him or drag him into the middle.

Salah can't do shit if no one passes the all to him. He won't even come for the ball.

We now often use 4-2-4 as against 3-2-5 we mostly used last season, with Zinny staying wide. That is why you're seeing Ode dropping deep lately with Havertz staying up top. So he doesn't need to invert before we control game.

If other teams can give the like of Martinelli and Saka attention, who are we not to give Salah attention. We are talking about Salah here bro...a player that can singlehandedly punish a team.

Klopp wey complain about fans and ticket despite 5-1 win?🤣

I hope Teta behaves sha. Nobody scared me in the XI like Raya though. Rams was immense last time with the right amount of luck as Salah miss pk.


As for me, this is also our chance to get our own pk. It's been long abeg.

His complaint has nothing to do with the officiating.

We got our own penalty last season...our winning goal at home.

No sir.

When we are in possession it's a 3-2-2-3 with Zinny inverting to midfield with Rice.
When we are not in possession it's a 4-2-4 with Havertz dropping into M as a double pivot with Rice.

That 3-2-2-3 is for the purpose on controlling the midfield.

As long as we have the ball, Salah is useless. He cannot even press.

Spy, try and pay attention today against Liverpool. We have been using 4-2-4 frequently when building up. And Havertz doesn't drop deep to partner Rice. We mostly press in 4-1-4-1. This may change depending on the tactic our opponent employed.

Fkforyou:
Thank you very much for indulging me.

Honestly, you made accurate and fair assessment of Artetas Flaw as a manager.

You also did justice to my question, you did so with facts, not just hard facts, but historical fact and trends, receipts choke everywhere.

I won’t lie, I sometimes thought your criticism of Arteta was unfair, even though I always respected your opinion, because we both share something in common, we love this club and want it to succeed.

All in all, I am loyal to Arsenal not Arteta, all I want is for this club to win something either by Arteta or not, even though I like him being our coach for now.
I thoroughly enjoyed the engagement.
