We have been playing a flat back 4 with Kiwior since he came in for Zinny against Liverpool. Inverting Kiwior will only complicate things for him, so Arreta is keeping everything simple and it has worked.
I believe he will grow into that space and get bolder. I noticed he's been last man in last 3games plus giving sweet long balls to Nelli and Kai from deep. Imagine how we'll play with no inverter mode.

The 'inverter mode' has come to stay sir. When the opponent presses in a man-to-man, one full back will invert and the goalkeeper will move forward a bit to become the pseudo-CB. That way, you will gain a numerical advantage during the buildup.

Lokonga this season is something else. His on and off possession movements and controlled passes....

Do you see him breaking into the LCM role at Emirates? I think he's proven himself at Luton this season. Adebayo and co just taking away most of the shine.

I'm not saying it should go away. I'm saying that we can play sweet football without it is great.

Lokonga is not Arsenal's level . It's good he's playing well at Luton, we should cash-in on that and sell to the highest bidder ASAP .

He's looking good but he'll need to do it one more season, maybe at a middle class club like Everton, Aston Villa or so.

I wouldn't want to rush him sha but for LCM role, he might be good. Just needs more top flight experience

Spy360:
It's Havertz.

Havertz can push to CF for Trossard to drop into midfield or drops further deep to form a midfield square with Odegaard, Rice and White, Havertz drops into a double pivot with Rice to allow Odegaard push forward to press, Havertz goes wide into LW to allow Martinelli go central attack and infield to form a front two with Trossard.

Everyone is moving but it almost always involves Havertz. That's why I said he is the free man and joker, the space interpreter that determines the positions others take in the pitch.

You don't have to argue with me, just go and watch our last two matches.
Are you sure you watch this team?

But what's Wrong with F.Balogun?

Yeah, I know he's not our player anymore but I was thinking he'll excel in Monaco as their main man the way he did at Reims last season esp with the kind of talent he has.

What really went wrong?

Arteta doesn't like a big squad. Partey and Jorginho are likely to leave with two midfielders replacing them. And if Arteta get plans for you, I don't think he will loan you out. See the way all our U23s were leaving but Ethan and co stayed back.

seeing what he's done vs proven teams with supposedly better midfielders throughout and other tasking roles like the goal he denied vs man u is enough for me. But he may also go the joe willock way.

The reason it's sweet is because unlike before that he was too rigid, he's now changing things and trying different approaches


I think he's realized that unpredictability is bliss!! That's my conclusion.

E reach to ask


MT and EBL analysis is all one needs to know that what he said up there no be am. One that doesn't even watch our games can get a full image of the game from those two X accounts.

Odegaard and Rice move the most in our team and that is most obvious to rival legends doing pundits.
