iamoyindamola:A simple yes or no and we know you don’t care but they are always explaining like they lost something. I kukuma trust Arsenal fans when it comes to that level and they all know… They are dead to me. |

germaphobe:Saka and Martinelli stay wide but they can drift inwards and shoot or they make a run to the second post for a tap in. Havertz stay central either to act as a ball holder playing with back at goal, or to make runs that will drag the CBs away for the strikers/inverted wingers to find space to score. FYI, the goal outlets for Liverpool is similar. Salah and Diaz/Gakpo are strikers. The difference between our style and Liverpool is in the build up which happens in midfield. But the attack has a similar structure. Note: Any team that uses inverted wingers just know that they are strikers. This is modern football. |

Spy360:inverted wingers I agree but calling them outright strikers No. Our wingers haven't been their best this season and multiple sources report that Arteta is not happy with them and is on the look out for a new winger in the winter window. If our wingers start firing again and the goals keep coming no body will talk about needing a striker just as they all shut up about it after our dubai trip last season. Me I no carry striker matter for head but if we get a better one fine, I'm more concerned with the whole front line being active. And the defense isn't even helping matters, chopping goals up and down like basket. |

Omo!!! I don miss football..o Heard Calafiori is coming back. I need him and Timber to be consistent Biko white won’t be available in a long while. |

germaphobe:Having a traditional striker may sound good but he will not fit into the current playing system. The reason for the goal drought is simply the lack of an creative midfielder. The injury to Odegaard exposed the lack of support from the bench especially as Arteta refused to give Nwaneri his chance. This led to overdependence on set pieces for goals. That one too has been exposed. The lack of a central creative presence pushed the creativity to the wings (Saka) which is not proper. Now that Odegaard is back and Saka has rested, watch how this team will score goals with ease. |

Spy360:Lack of flexibility or let me say plan B is the main reason we lost the premier league title twice. It is the same reason we crashed out in the champions league and Europa league anytime we meet more tactical team. You keep stating system like the system is one impeccable system that has won Arsenal a major trophy in recent time. When it comes to our attack, the funny thing about the system is that it collapses the moment Saka gets specially double marked or choose to be out of form. It even gets worse if Odegaard fails to turn up in a match. Let’s not even talk about the left hand side of our attack because they turn up when they feel like, and the main striker is a space bender who can’t do jack. We can’t have Havertz, Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus as our main attackers and expect to win anything tangible. It’s even more frustrating when some Arsenal fans call this out and a major number of the Arsenal fans try to shut it down talking about system. System this, system that. Like we have won a single EPL or champions league with the system. This season is no longer Arsenal vs Man City affairs. We have more serious team this season. Liverpool, Chelsea are currently in the mix. Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle will continue to be a threat to us. You might say it’s too early to conclude, but our team is not giving us any confidence at all. Let Arteta try something different if the system is not working. Trying something new is some of the ways title winning coaches do, including his mentor Guardiola. Abeg o |

toluxe0075:Every system rises and falls including Guardiola's system as we have seen, but it doesn't make the system redundant after a few games. Usually teams don't change systems mid-season unless they sack their manager. I don't get how you said the system isn't working. We have used this system for just two seasons. Especially last season. Both times we finished close to the title. Last season it was just the magnificence of City and a few other factors that helped them cross the line before us. So far this season we haven't utilised the system as much due to the injury to Odegaard and Arteta's blunt refusal to play Nwaneri in the last couple of those games. We all love a good striker but will he fit in? It's like asking for a goalkeeper like Pickford because is the best shot stopper. The fact is that Pickford will not fit into our system because he is not good with his feet. As for having a plan B, which is good but your plan B shouldn't deviate too much from your plan A otherwise the structure and transitions will collapse. Whatever plan B you want to have would not be to change pattern but to adjust it or tweak it |

Spy360:system??..... let's get over this system talk, if he choose to make it work, he will. Barca had suarez, but Neymah and Messi still packed goal, Haaland dey city but foden still dey get goals, Leicester had verdy with the goals but Mahrez was up there too. All those one touch shots Kai is supposed to take but look for who to pass to or create space can be utilised well. Whether dem buy striker or not isn't actually my issue, my issue is make the ones we have be proactive, the number of chances our forwards miss is all that's bringing this striker talk everyday, last two season when Nelli, Jesus, Saka and Odegaard ranked up goals and was firing each match day nobody talked about striker ish ooo... striker or no striker win a phucking trophy for the boys, na my own be dat. I'm more of wetin dey do our defence than we need a striker right now. |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by germaphobe(m): 8:09pm On Nov 19, 2024 |
Spy360:this is the reason we couldn't get sesko last summer, Arteta couldn't guarantee playing him ahead of Kai |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Spy360(m): 9:05pm On Nov 19, 2024 |
germaphobe:Sesko didn't want to leave his comfort zone. But even at that Kai Havertz is a better player by far. |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Spy360(m): 9:26pm On Nov 19, 2024 |
germaphobe:Every system is good. What's required is the right personnel, quality and execution. Get these three right and you will win games. It is the personnel angle that disqualifies having a traditional striker. It is the quality angle that made Arteta ditch Ramsdale for Raya and signed Calafiori ahead of Zinny. It is the execution angle that affects the team on the day like when Odegaard isn't in form or when Martinelli misses an open net. Even Pep lost games because Ake, Diaz and Stones were injured. Again, Man City had the best striker last season and scored 94goals. Arsenal had no striker and scored 91goals. Haaland alone scored 45% of Man City goals whereas Arsenal had about 6 players on double figures, even Gabriel had more goals than many strikers. Either way, Man City first and Arsenal second- difference of two points. What's important is that the team is doing well. |

TGIF to all the football fans across the globe. I believe we are all exited that clubs football is back again with the new international break scheduled for next year March. I hope we can go 10 games winning run because Arteta will not be forgiven if Slot win it in his first season. |

Spy360:The bold is why I am folding my hands on my chest, frowning at Arteta and keeping quiet. It just doesn't make sense to me. You know how you have set up your team for maximum performance, yet you will start doing a silly experiment cos a key player is injured. If he doesn't have that full confidence in Nwaneri why did he allow ESR to go? Besides Nwaneri has not done anything to disappoint. |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by germaphobe(m): 2:57pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
King Kai on the bench(i know some people are more than happy), no Nelli no Partey. This line up is good enough to win forest, but if at all any other outcome other than wining presents itself at the end of 90minutes I know who will be made the scapegoat. |

And just like that, Chelsea are back competing for the top 4. |

Roland17:Trust the process bro |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by germaphobe(m): 3:20pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
Roland17:they're not yet as strong as any of the top 3 teams in the past two years,but they're gradually coming up, soon man utd will be there too. Make we just try get something tangible hold for hand first. |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Roland17(m): 3:36pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
germaphobe:Make we continue to dey underestimate teams because after Dec 22 we will be 6 years into the process while others are just starting. I don’t think Chelsea are capable of winning the league but they are for sure a top 4 contender at this point, especially if they spend in Jan. |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Roland17(m): 3:38pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
iamoyindamola:After December 22, we will be 6 years into the process. |
| Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Shegzdave: 3:39pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
iamoyindamola:Maybe And that’s commendable from them |
