I have gone through your responses and deduced that you feel Arteta has employed defensive tactics which is wrong and that he should attack more. Am I right? Just wabtvro know if I comprehended you.

If I get your point...

I accept that Arteta prioritized defence ahead of attack even in his tactics (mind you I would do same because our defending before was sickening to be fair) and signings but that doesn't mean he ignored attack, we got Willian and had just signed Pepe few months before.

If any of you think that decision was bad then you probably need to check for amnesia. Defense was a headache last season and Arteta so far has done a good job fixing it.

The problem led to another one in attacking midfield do to the Ozil situation. But fortunately we have ESR to salvage the team. Hence our recent performances. You guys are slow to see that despite our poor form our defending has been up there compared to those higher up the league. I showed this a couple of weeks ago using stats from league table (Jodera where are you na) which led to some arguments. Go and check.
Lol... Yeah, I remember that argument on defence we had then about our improved defence and you saying if we can just get a good Am, our team will click. I remember vehemently how I argued with you on it then grin.

Anyhow sha, thank goodness ESR proved me wrong

Question of the day:

Would you prefer we loan/buy another AM in this TW to complement ESR, and let Ozil leave for free or we find a way to reinstate Ozil and let him leave at the end of the season?

Let's interact.

Ozil's case is done and dusted .

get a more experienced AM in January to relieve ESR of the pressure and as buffer if injury happens.

nothing surprising. it is you people that carry Guen's case on your heads like dandruff, all we want is the best for Arsenal. ESR is a youth and turned up for the AM role you don't see anyone dragging him, same with Saka and martinelli. all these mentioned players are younger than Guen.

if Guen had done same in his role as DM at Arsenal he would get equal support. But y'all were busy trying to force a below par performance down our throats.

You are right at the emboldened, that's why I keep emphasizing on them prioritizing defense to attack.

OK.

It's obvious Arteta mostly employed defensive tactics. We all saw this and condemned it especially when it was against smaller teams. I am with you on this. But the question of whether right or wrong is totally personal. Like I said, for me it's wrong. But this has nothing to do with the defense wins you league arguments.

My case was actually centred on whether we improved defensively compared to last season or not (without reference to whether we played defensively or not), which from stats we actually improved.

Also the signing of Gabriel for me was needed. Yes, it adds to our list of uncountable defenders but that's because we could not throw them all out. Most of those guys shouldn't be playing for a club like ours. Luckily some are finding their way out and many will by the end of the season. But we needed to get better defenders. This is where I supported the emphasis on strengthening our defense.

That does not mean I supported our failure not signing attackers. In fact, I lamented so much about the failure to get an AM and then freezing Ozil. I remember I stated top 4 will be a mirage since we failed to get the AM we needed.

In summary, at the beginning of the season we needed 3signings to boost the squad...
A defender, a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder. We got 2 and missed one, which shouldn't have happened. Nevertheless, I am happy for the two we got and hope we get the AM this January...

true right..

Tho I always look at the technical and skillful part of a footballer before the physical side, cos I believe the physical side can easily be improved on by hitting the gym
At least look at your greenwood for example na. That's one of numerous examples

The latter. The money we'll use to loan another player can be invested elsewhere. Make we no waste money cos that will totally be a waste of money.

Unless we want to buy, which is for the long term, then fine. But any loan now na really waste of fund. ESR start, ozil to deputize him
