Even a Nelson is better than an exhausted being who you will pay bigger money for and will not be productive.

Two wingers is a lot abeg.

One is okay, we just want to ignore that we need a striker badly
They play even arteta don't rate nelson
I will rather play maquinhos than playing nelson

How is he wasteful ?

A goalkeeper is unhappy staying on the bench and wants to leave , will he tie him down or what ?

Arteta's pattern does not require a true striker.

That's why Nketiah became useless.

Personally I wish we could add a striker only of top quality.

But I also know that as far as our tactics are concerned, we won't need him.

I have said it here on several occasions when defending Havertz and Jesus that they are not playing as true strikers but you people refuse to listen to superior opinion.
Thank you.

I also understand Arteta tactics but getting a real striker after Nketiah departure is necessary and it must be an upgrade, there’s a reason why Teta always have a real striker even if he rarely uses him.

There are some games where the opponent plays lowblock, this is where a real striker who is good with head and already proven is needed.

I hope Edu and Teta do what will Favour the team sha cause them must show workings this season

You are absolutely correct with the bolded. Let me add and mid-block defending too like we saw against Aston Villa, a quick striker would have gotten several 1 on 1 chances once he escapes the high line offside trap.

However, Arteta has other ways as I noticed how he broke that mid-block against Villa by overloading the midfield with Timber and Havertz while pushing Saka and Trossard higher

...... Trossard....... Saka..............
Rice........ Havertz...... Odegaard
....... Timber ....... Partey.............

If both of them plays central midfield or Am, who does their attack still depends on?

I'm not saying they don't have same skillset cos they're similar (ie Odegaard and Bernardo). I just said, "who's the closest thing to their Kdb for us"?.

Odegaard doesn't need to have same skillset as Kdb in other to be "our Kdb" na
Ok I get your question clearly now as per the bolded. Odegaard is our main creative oulet same as KDB for Man City.

What is keeping Nelson is his salary. And the fact that Arteta doesn't want to let him go for free being an academy player.

Na real fvck up cause games choke this season and we need someone to make things happen for himself when situation demands.

If Merino is what made them say that, then they try but not excellently

Honestly there's nothing useful in nelson
He's the only player I won't mind selling for free
He's only good for training material, you need to watch him during training he's a lion
Only to come to the main pitch and be a meow

Exactly

I don’t know why some aren’t seeing the need for striker even though we know Arteta tactics forbids it but we know we really need a lethal striker

Now you see why I they always rant for here
These guys will spend years on top transfer, price like say they wan buy for free
Majority of the players we are getting actually chose us because we don't deserve any of them with the way we go about in transfer business
When did Italy crashed out of Euros, look at the time calafiori came, same with merino
Now we are left to feed on scrap players , we are under pressure to get someone that's why espanyol they hold them ransom on top backup keeper
We have just one striker and he's not the best
And this is the season our oga wan win league abi 😂😂😂
With Kai as the only fit CF because Jesus is 50/50 all season
Like I said earlier I won't mind both of sterling and coman they are panic buy but that's the only option we have unless we go for Toney

Tbh, I've made my research before I came to that conclusion. First time I saw that under Ebl, I was surprised cos he's really someone I respect his work, but in this aspect I fully disagree with him

In midfield, all attack flows through prime Kdb for Man City not Bernardo
In midfield, all attack flows through Odegaard for us.

Statwise, they might be similar (perhaps in terms of assist or so) but if you delve deeper, you'll see that most expected assists(xA), chance creation, Key passes, Big chances created are all Odegaard's forte in Arsenal.

Who do you think has all those stats in Man City? It certainly won't be Bernardo.

In terms of dictating and breaking down low blocks for arsenal when things gets tight(like dropping into midfield and starting attack). We call on Odegaard. Same thing Kdb does when things gets tight.

I don't want to talk about their skillsets cos Odegaard and Kdb are different kind of players with different skillset but the mantle, leadership and role, both have been the go-to guys in this team.

Lol, lastly I saw your post earlier today about us benching Odegaard if we want to play Man City. It was funny and I just laughed then but now I understand cos you're really seeing him as our Bernardo, cos if you'd seen him as our Kdb, you'll know that will never be an option no matter how.
Toor.. we all watch the game through different Lens sha. There I this article too. I'll drop the link if I later see it qnd if not...

That midfield was a joke na. It is impossible to bench Odegaard especially in a match of that magnitude. Me, I just want to see some mechanic football... Make we drag ourselves inside pitch and you know Ode is not suited for physical games.

I read an analysis on The athletic on how Arteta worked in breaking down their highline and it really worked if not for poor execution of mostly final pass by the players. We were setup to exploit them perfectly, just wrong execution.

Lol... Okay, I really hope you see that link lemme read. I've never imagined in my wildest dreams that anyone will believe our Odegaard is like Bernardo for us until Ebl and I never really thought others will see it that way too.
I just hope you the link Sha oo grin grin

As for the bolded,

Lol it's alright oo. I really believe Odegaard is suited for physical game sha but as you said, we all see things through different lens. The beauty of the game cheesy

I won't be surprised if we go back for Garcia next summer bro. Arteta get this kind of obession and stubbornness. Remember we approached Raya first before signing Ramsdale and now see who is at the club now.

At worst, they should just sign Johan Bakayoko on loan. Better than Sterling and Coman deals IMO
