I love our set up and game play but honestly I wouldn't mind if one player scores dem goals and the team achieve success in terms of trophies. Haaland scoring goals doesn't take away the brilliance of other players in Man City. Last season he scored the goals but Foden won a more priced individual award.
Thank you oo
That doesn't mean foden won't shine in the end of the season or kdb

This scenario really weak me ystdy. I was 100% dead certain that Odegaard would setup Cala on a one on one(I thought it was Saka before). I mean, it's Odegaard na. Even if it's not Odegaard, I would still have expected a perfect pass from any left footed player in that scenario

How he passed it straight to Brighton's player body is something that shocked me. I believe perhaps he was playing in pains cos it was very unusual.

The big question is where can we get our own Haaland? Do we have such striker in the market?

He was in pain. The kick from that Brighton player really affected him. I think he had to go take painkiller two different times yesterday.

Won't be surprised if he's not available for NLD. What's the midfield deputies for our regulars?

Omo!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They have him. That's all that matters
We have Jesus and he is not a Haaland when fit. But na LUTH regular like Reece James. We can't even put his name in reliable region, especially for this season. No be who prepare well for journey, with the necessary sprinklers of luck go pray to win EPL and UCL?

You see Haaland and his name trends because people are tired of praising him. They are complaining.😹😹

It's better we have our own that makes everything easier than wishing for his injury. See how Liverpool eased up at 3-0? He subbed off key players too.

.

My point is we needed a striker but shouldn't be too dependent on him.
I.was making a case for being dependent on one person....not saying we don't need.

Hence my post saying let's see if haland gets injured how it looks like.

I don't like Argement
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by mostob(m): 7:54pm On Sep 01, 2024
Our midfield is now suddenly lean.
Merino and Rice are out of NLD

Odegaard will definitely be fit. But who will complete the midfield triangle?

Make Arteta just play Calafiori.

Anyway the boldened is where full stop suppose be sha. Let's have it fes before we worry about independence or dependent.

As for Haaland absence, City does well without him as well,but are excellent with him. Foden remember?

it was really serious and Arteta gambled it. It backfired spectacularly.

He'll be available for the NLD hopefully since he was still able to play on before being subbed. It's 2wks away so I believe he'll be available.

But then, our options are Havertz, Jorginho and Nwaneri (tho I believe it's too sudden and mighty for the lad since it's Nld).

Lol, you're forgetting Jorginho?

But I doubt Jorginho will play cos he hardly plays Partey and Jorgi together. So what I'm suspecting is

Odegaard, Partey, Havertz.

Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.

Easy peasy grin grin

See how Rice card has made us realize how unreliable our bench is.

That leaves just Ethan and Kiwior as "quality subs"

January window should be really hot. Cos i see many teams regretting too. Especially Man U.😂😂
We should just jeje start planning better 9 arrival. But AFCON sef ehn.

Anyway that ramsdale deal is another proof arteta is wasteful, and edu is backing him up
I feel like you're guys are throwing a good keeper ...


I'd gladly have ramsdale goal keeping for Liverpool ...


Raya is suppose to be your 2nd choice..

Ramsdale looked like someone that'd have turn to be somewhat like a club legend for ya'll..

Yeah Rice alongside Merino injury cos it wouldn't have been a problem if the latter was available.

In terms of sub, we still have "quality subs na"

Excluding Ethan and Kiwi, we have Zinny, Jorginho, and Sterling grin grin

I know say you don forget your guy, Sterling cheesy cheesy

The era of one player doing all the goal scoring has past. Funny enough it was Pep who introduced total football in this generation where he has goal scorers across the front line. Going back to the ancient tactics of putting the goal scoring burden on one player for me is improper. It is working now but it's a problem that player loses form or gets injured.
So the team crashes?

Any manager will prefer a team where he has multiple goal scorers than single.

Arteta has built a team where a defender like Gabriel can get 7-8goals in a season from set pieces. They have taken it as a responsibility and have mastered it. Now we are the most dangerous in set pieces. For me we are better equipped than Man City.

Nah Raya is actually better than ramsdale even though both are error prone
I just felt he was treated unfairly, he could have stayed as cups keeper

I realkg like Ramsdale a lot and I believe he was nit treated fairly with the way Raya just took the number 1 spot from him, but I don't think Ramsdale wanted to stay and play as our cup keeper.

I think Ramsdale opted to leave cos he can't bear being on the bench all through the season. I don't think that is Edu or Arteta's fault. That was the same way Leno left for Fulham.

Lol we got him 30m and he wanted to leave for 18m plus 7m add on that's looking impossible to get or achieve
As for Leno he doesn't fit arteta game plan at all even Martinez had arteta confidence than leno

I don't think the club just wakes up one morning and decide to sell players for cheap. There are a whole lot of factors that me and u don't know that makes a club arrive at a player's valuation.

For example Ramsdale is a non starter at Arsenal, the number of clubs that need a new keeper are limited. The fact that the management sold him to Southampton most likely suggested that was the best they could get for him as at the time he was keen on living. These things are not that simple as buying a bag of rice 70k and selling it for 74k

I know. None of Partey and Jorginho can play 8, and defensively, midfield will be too porous.
Zinchenko is another option but then he to, is weak defensively and lack physicality.
No Havertz in midfield abeg.

Omo Havertz in midfield against Spurs is minus one but then what can we do. If only Gabriel Jesus will be back before then.

All this people with injury please when are the coming back?

This was just a perfect time for Merino to show up but injury again.

Meanwhile, I was just watching the highlights, can someone remind me again when Rice mic the ball please and how was there penalty earlier on?

Ever wondered why footballers wear shin pad? That kick might have looked harmless but from medical POV, it was not.
Hopefully, he will be back soon.

Nah, Gabriel Jesus back or not, make Arteta no try am. My first choice will be Calafiori assuming Timber will be back to play LB. If not, let us play Zinchenko there. The third option is Myles.
But I won't be surprised to see Havertz there sha. It is what Arteta is capable of doing.
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by iamoyindamola(m): 9:04am On Sep 02, 2024
Give me calafiori and zinchenko against spuds
Both will complement each other with martinelli
Abeg trossard should be coming from bench
And kaikai should never near midfield abeg
Timber fit or not should sit for calafiori
Sterling should be on bench
