Lmao.

Na people wey no know ball go dey follow u do this kind yeye argument. Shebi na the same minutes Van Persie that is always injured and Giroud that is mostly fit played for Arsenal?

U think say u dey wise? Go and bring their goals vs minutes played in an Arsenal shirt; I don pass people u go dey use bias stats draw into nonsense argument that will spiral into series and series of Amala turning.

If to say I no dey alive or I no get access to TV when Giroud played for Arsenal it would've been another thing entirely.
The bolded... You have started your own. Jodera asked for G/G and I gave him and he started crying foul.

Like I said this isn't a direct comparison. But if you wish me to go that route, state categorically clear here that you would accept whatever results comes out. State it and I will oblige you. Don't come and cry foul.

Crystal Palace want Nketiah, Arsenal is saying they want to keep him. Is like they're mad. Instead of them to use him to grab Eze in return, they're starting their jittery January approach already. Asif the guy will score anything if he is kept. Smh.

Because anyone that watched the two knows this. If you now use the players behind these two Forwards as yardstick again, one knows who was not serious between two of them. But here are stats that on a normal day, i don't even need

Spy, what do you have to say about this? Since you have been dodging my question about the class mark you used to categorize RVP amd Giroud together. Are the two still similar?

These stats are for all PL games. RVP played for Man United those records shouldn't count. Your facts are faulty.

The stats Davep brought are faulty because some of the games RVP played in the PL were for United not Arsenal. We are looking at strictly Arsenal games. May be he didn't understand the root of the argument.

I am waiting for Blueray to give his affirmative statement so that I will provide the goals per minute records.

Lets even swap team and put this Kai scenario in the team. Say, Madrid. Will Ancelotti be starting Kai so he can gain confidence? Lol. Well Ode too has been down low from last season form too. I've complained about the left to right possession. Notice how it takes two to make us go all the way back to Raya compared to last season too. Just two pressers.
Kai won't be starting for Madrid, esp under Ancelloti. Person wey bench a whole James wey him personally but for Everton and person wey no send Hazard till him retire. Lol.

Arteta changed our approach to games. But above all, we've been missing chances consistently and that's what's really killing us

I think we forget so soon that Timber is a defender.
In this team, we don't create enough goal scoring chances and dont score enough goals.
Let's forget about Timber for a moment and focus on the attackers (Saka, Mart, Jesus), and then the Feeders, i.e. the people who are supposed to service them (Odegaard, Rice). The attack is weak, the feed or service is also weak.

I remember our loss against Newcastle. People were angry that we got robbed. I was angry that we didn't do anything to hurt them in terms of chance creation.
Timber will only help to make the defense STEEL.
There's no one we have to make the attack elite. For even though it appears we have them, it is a case of elite today, and then leave u confused tomorrow.
Lol... Timber will certainly add in his own right to creativity as well as being strong defensively.

All those stretch of play and width game, he'll help in that as well as inverting if needs be.

That doesn't mean the forwards shouldn't be creative too but you see that bonus, it's highly needed too

Shebi I talk am then same way I didn’t see white as a rb but last season that majority was f the big boys were out of form una they use am judge
So you are now seeing the light
Go and sin no more
I judge season per season basis tho

White was good last season but he's been abysmal this season.

If you majority of teams were out of form last season reason why White shone, then I think it won't be only him being affected. Maybe Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli etc are not too good too reason why they've dropped form this season since all seems out of form grin

Exactly. By how big clubs behave, and for someone that heralded mentality throughout our All or Nothing period, he's doing way too much in the opposite direction.

Sustain? Eze and sustain no dey the same group o. He loses the ball recklessly and his workrate is zero. I'll rather go for Olise to compete with Saka.

Why are you people acting unschooled?

We are grading Giroud using RVP as a yard stick in games played for Arsenal. You guys are including games played for other clubs and still think you're making sense?

Modified: I have seen the correct stats and I was expecting someone to make a statement on those stats.

Permit me to do so.
I think that 0.5 for RVP and 0.4 for Giroud does not translate to Giroud being useless. In fact statistically they can be classed together when you factor in the performance statistics of someone like Henry at the upper limit and Lacazette at the lower limit. This has always been my point. Mind you, no one is saying that he was a better player than RVP, but what we are saying is that he wasn't useless as erroneously claimed by some of you. A better breakdown season by season confirms that RVP only had a good season in his final two years for Arsenal especially his final year. Before that he was basically average. Giroud on the other hand wasn't spectacular but managed to deliver double figures each time apart from his final year.

I have included that of Henry as reference.

You said you deliberately posted wrong data just to see my reaction. That's an educated person acting like he is uneducated. If it was a mistake or not deliberate I'll understand. But knowingly posting wrong stats and saying that you did so deliberately does not speak well of you as someone that want to engage constructively. I expected a simple apology. Thank you.

Lol @ bolded.

When I gave the illustrations below pix, that is exactly what I meant. Take away his last season for Arsenal and RVP would have been completely anonymous and below average. Whereas Giroud howbeit not spectacular but was consistent in delivering double figures throughout his stay apart from his last season.

Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Spy360(m): 12:45pm On Jan 05, 2024

How can u take away his last two seasons? Everybody that watched Arsenal knew Van Persie was almost always injured which frustrated him and the fans alike.

When he was eventually healthy he proved he was not an average striker like Giroud was all through his stay at Arsenal. I see u struggle to accept Giroud was average all through his stay, but it is what it is.

Their goal haul is there for everyone to see na Haba!

For all i care
Giroud should be classify with the likes of welbeck, chamakh
Even eduardo better pass am na injury make him crayfish bend he was leading us to epl glory until that unfortunate incident and he never recovered
but giroud hmmmmm
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Shegzdave: 2:33pm On Jan 05, 2024
How will an ardent Arsenal fan compare Van Persie and Giroud in their goal scoring ability?

Some people just like argument sha
