The day is upon us. Outside of Arteta’s tactics and motivation, hopefully the boys too are motivated to win at all cost. If there is any encounter I want us to scale through, it’s this one against Madrid.

4-4-2 is Wenger's most successful tactics. He began to crumble when he started fantacising the 4-3-3 and his failures began.

Arteta himself started with a 5-2-3 formation that won the FA Cup but his 4-3-3 formation has propelled him to being one of the best coaches in the country despite having no titles to show for it. One common thing with both formations is that he does play a striker as CF, his strikers are the inverted wingers. So it's more like a 4-4-2 with the CF dropping deeper and allowing the inverted fullbacks into scoring positions.


..... Martinelli...... Saka..........
Rice......... Merino...... Odegaard
................ Partey.................
Skelly.. Kiwior... Saliba.. Timber

The beauty with Arteta's tactics is that formation can switch into any shape at any time.

I wish he can get his type of players because it would really make us hard to beat

Different players, era, styles and approach.

A better question is, can Arteta be the difference between winning and losing this game? We need a pragmatic approach to this game.

We can not be out of this round after today’s game, that is the most important thing to me.

I'm saying that old madrid formation now has Mbappe even if he runs down the wing even when winger dey. He doesn't both simultaneously if you watch him.

The reason i brought is here is cos of how the shape can transform as each 10mins go by. Not cos that will be the shape all 90. That's what you just explained now.


For what it's worth, i hope they bring an intensity never seen before.

Someone said the game dey somehow.

If madrid win, noise won't be much as they're way way ahead of us all rounder.

But if we win, the noise and swear on madrid will last till the end of the year.

Lol.

I hope the man doesn't bring the overthinking here. This game might be down to taking chances and burying it. Saka don learn from that bayern mistake that year. But i am hoping on the middle, bringing their A game with GA.


Annoying that everyone in Madrid Middle just dey score while same can't be said for ours enough to know they will do it
