Edu should find us one south America dribbler like that Diaz, teams close down on saka too much making it difficult for us to attack but if they have their hands full with saka and other better trickster we will go places

He got Martinelli na

daveP:
we saying the same thing, but in two different ways. That inexperience gangan is why he can’t be the reliable pick if it comes to a vote between these two.

Not a Laca fan. Im just accepting where we are and who we are with till the last match. However, i can see Nketiah is brimming up.

How Jodera claims both of you have same view is what I don't understand because all you have been saying tallies with mine.

We are just managing Lacazette.

I have the tp but the sat is difficult to track with my 60cm and I do not want to use my bigger dish

BlueRayDick:
I believe lapse or time makes most fans forget some facts. It's a known fact that Lacazette was signed before Auba. Today Auba is no longer an Arsenal player and yet Auba still has more goals than Laca. How people don't see that Laca is a striker that just doesn't score beats my imagination.

Once arsenal sign better striker we won't care much about whatever Laca brings to the table aside ginger.

They are carried away with the ginger as if na skills

50d33q:
The credibility of these referees are already questionable, they make the stupid and bias decisions
Rodri handled the ball yet no PK, if that was the opposite they will award it
Same with arsenal most of the var decisions are hardly check useless mofos favouring some and deal with others

Nwanne, let them send us more bias refs...

Arsenal Vs Michael Oliver : 1-0
Arsenal Vs Jonathan Moss : 2-1
Arsenal Vs Martin Atkinson : 2-1

We need Kelvin Friend for our next match please.

daveP:
It’s common knowledge that we aren’t at our best, down to squad depth. Some of us have accepted this faster and are looking at things from this new pov, not necessarily cos we think that’s normal. Abi we want to forget last two seasons?

Me I’ve accepted Laca no go score goals for a while now. If we see someone better, talk will change. Its simple deflection from headache and tongue ache.

By using the word accept are you saying it's ok? If yes, then why seek another striker? If no, then we are on the same page.

I love the ginger Laca brings, and I see the effect on the other players, it seems even Arteta now buts that idea. But it's not enough.

BlueRayDick:
I really do not understand why anybody will defend Lacazette's abysmal figures upfront by making excuse that he brings to the team much more than the usual ginger. This guy was signed to play as a striker and for 5 years he's never managed to score 15 EPL goals in a season. The funny fact is when he's not scoring he's not even up there in the assist table as well.

One would've thought for a striker who doesn't score maybe he's been sacrificing his goals by passing it to others in better position to score but alas that's not the case( if it were to be, he would've at least made top 5 assists makers in the league for at least one season but na lie)

A striker who doesn't score and neither an assist lord is not a striker. I can never Stan such player or make excuse for him ; he's simply a failure at his primary and secondary duty.

We did not sign Lacazette to just transition ball from midfield to attack and then it ends there....we signed him to score or be a goal threat in the box by creating assits or at least pre-assist

Make Arsenal sign better striker in the summer and save us the headache of having to argue about a "non-scoring-striker" every now and then abeg!

It is well with you my brother. I am glad someone sees my point of view.

Activity is not productivity. Any striker that comes in and starts scoring will easily bench Laca.

daveP:
Nketiah doesn’t bring the urgency like laca. I wish he had more game time though, but our midfield go sur......fa!! They’ve not been great at chance creation. Crystal Palace try pass us if na that one.

Last season and we move on to better things. But for the 15games left, barring injury, Laca will see more minutes than Nketiah.

Bros, Nketiah is the best forward presser we have in the team. It's just that his inexperience affects his consistency as a striker, but once he gets his mojo just as ESR and Saka have done, he will easily bench Lacazette because he has the better tendency to score than Laca.

Jodera:
This is the crux of the matter. He misses chances, fine and he should score more goals. That's different from you saying he brings nothing aside ginger and an out of form auba is better than him.

It's amazing how you bring other facets of his game then turn around and said he brings ONLY ginger. Except of course thev ginger you know is different from what I know.

And no, even if nketiah starts scoring goals, Laca will be paired with him upfront (na martinelli go suffer am). You think Arteta style of play don't rely on dominance?

You employed a cleaner to clean your home. You return from work and find the place unkempt. You asked the cleaner, she says she has been helping the cook all day and so should be excused for not cleaning the house.

That's Lacazette.

daveP:
Well with how things are in the Epl, not all Strikers are doing the scoring. Infact its all wingers leading the charts. That should tell you something. Funny enough, there are strikers with better workrate/goal threat than Laca but aren’t even in top 10 this season. E just get as e be sincerely. Its a Wingers Season!!

A wingers season won't absolve him of his failings. But I hope he starts scoring, if not I suspect Nketiah will bench him. Had we gotten another striker, his season would have been over. I pray he rediscovers he goal scoring power.

daveP:
That Laca is Arsenal’s foremost Assister this season says alot. 5assists and number 10 on the rank. Pogba on 8. This Season just get as e be jare.

I think it's Saka.

Jodera:
So if you're not bringing goal threat as a striker, it means na only fighting spirit you bring??.

While I admit he should add goals to his play(I always say this), I won't turn blind eye to other facets of his game he brings. Watch how Kane played against Leeds today and you'll see how he could have easily won motm even without his goal. He creates from deep, helps Tottenham in dominating possession and help in creating an outlet for their midfield to transition the ball and start attack from the front down to midfield helping them to recover possession. And that's what Laca does for us(tho not like Kane). If you still thinks all these things equate to "ginger" then reason am again..

Like I said, while I want us to move on from Laca to a better player, I(and most arsenal fans) know he's better than Nketiah and balogun for now as against you who felt they're all the same

Don't get me wrong.

His ginger means a lot to me. It's good.

His playing from deep is good too.

But these are extra curricular.

Kane does same for Spurs but Kane scores goals too. I'd say same if he does not.

If Lacazette doesn't score, he is failing in his primary duty. You need to see his joy when he thought he scored Vs Wolves. He knows he needs to get on the score sheet. He is missing lots of chances. All his efforts will soon become null when go goes like 5 more games without scoring despite starting regularly now that Auba is out.

You think he is better than Nketiah, may be he is, but if Nketiah starts getting goals from the bench, I tell you Arteta will bench Lacazette immediately.

Jodera:
it means I wasn't wrong then. I mean, if na only fighting spirit player dey bring, doesn't that means he's useless?

It was still you who said Laca had an understanding with martinelli and saka(I wish I sabi dig up post), but now you've forgotten that and claimed na only fighting spirit him dey bring.

One thing I won't forget early this season is that we were always dominated as we were known to park the bus and being outplayed(even by small teams) while looking to score one or two early goals. We might win those match but everyone knew it wasn't sustainable and complained here . All that changed when Arteta brought in lacazette into the fray. Since then, we've been dominating and at least getting a foothold of the game for most parts of the 90mins. If you think it's only fighting spirit that ensured that from Laca's end, then I think you should have a rethink again...

And no, I'm not advocating for Laca contract extension but I know he brings more than fighting spirit or ginger as you alleged.

So tell us what else he brings.

As the striker, he should be the main goal threat but he is not. His play only tend to give others chances to shoot at goal, it is not entirely bad (like I said) but he is making us lose out at the most important contribution we want from him. Goals.

If we get a striker that can score, you will see the best from the likes of Saka and Martinelli. They will be willing to create tonnes of chances.

50d33q:
Bro we need to stop defending these people and what do you mean it's his ball.
That elbow was very intentional I wonder how the ref missed it sef

Well, I didn't see it as intentional because the ball was within his space and the Wolves player was jumping from behind, and as a human you jump with your arms out.

Wasted education. In your mind Ukraine is wife, Russia is husband. Both are independent nations.

It's called an illustration sir.

At your age, you should know ukraine is a suverignty....I wonder if you know The meaning of suverignty

It's sovereignty sir.

Imagine seeing your wife out on a date with a rival fellow?

After shouting at each other in the yard, you later found your wife frolicking with him.

Your actions will determine what you would have done if you were Putin.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
I believe Ukraine shall continue to stand their ground...no sensible nation will give in to a bloody dictator to rule em..

Russia is now an enemy to the world and Putin might pay dearly for this cruel attitude he's displaying..

Blame the West for escalating this.

Russia and Ukraine are like brothers, why try to instigate trouble by wooing them? Besides they would have negotiated peacefully if US did not get involved

muykem:
Russia is more stronger militarily but Ukraine need to defend their country with last blood. International community can continue to condemn the war without assistance. It's Ukraine turn today, it will be another country turn tomorrow. We once thought that the world has civilised pass this level.

US and UK should be held responsible for the Russian invasion. They escalated it and created too much tension.

Jodera:
Lol, I share your opinion about laca, reason why I said he's one of those helping us to dominate teams. And it's also a big reason why I'm always against spy when he's saying Laca is useless or an out of form auba is better than him. That I'll never accept at all

But then, I just wish he should add goals to his game esp his goal to chance ratio needs to be improved. I know his style of play will make him not to get chances as box strikers and running strikers (like auba) should normally have, but the few he comes across let him convert it. I'm not saying he should change his style, just let him improve his goal scoring chance that's all I ask...

I did not say he is entirely useless. I said apart from his ginger or his fighting spirit.

The only contribution he brings is that fighting spirit, which is good but not enough.

Some say he drops into midfield, but that's not his job. Honestly I prefer Nketiah because he sometimes drops deep and sometimes makes good runs, Laca kills attack simple.

In summary, I appreciate his efforts but there are not enough, he will not get a contract extension.

Kudos to Cedric for stepping up in the absence of Tomi
But he was stupid yesterday for that elbow, if referee give him red we will still complain.
This is part of the discipline we are talking about why did he do it?

That elbow was not intentional.He was Infront, and it was his ball.

ORIJIN201:
How some of una dey watch football? An out of form Auba dey useless, short one useless. Lacazette plays the Firmino for Arsenal. Like Firmino, he is hardly in the box and gets less chances.

Where you dey since bro...

Jodera:
Omo, Partey na baller abeg! He's the engine room of that our midfield. Everything is perfect about partey except shot-taking.

Laca played abysmally today, he just crowned his "effort" with goal, which I would say was the most important tonight. But then, he just proves every match day that we're in dire need of a striker.

First time I'll compliment Nketiah, never sure I've done that before. Boy, what a game changer. The very thing which our attackers failed to do(which was to control an air through ball) and lay it down for your players to score was what he did effectively. That was martinelli, saka and lacazzette was miscuing all day. Thank goodness the one time he did it and laid it on for Pepe was what resulted in our equalizer.

Our attack was dead today. Seems Saka is really tired (critically exhausted) and martinelli was just not it today. Thank goodness for laca dying minute all important goal, but aside his ginger, he wasn't too effective goalwise and missed too many chances. I think we need a shuffle of attack just that we don't have that luxury.

I was impressed with Xhaka's game today. He helped us in dominating midfield as well as Odegaard. The attack would have been the one that would have really let us down if not for the subs.

I fault Gabriel and White for our goals conceded. Gabriel for not doing the needful earlier and when he finally did it, it was at the wrongest of time while I blame white for not been aware of his surrounding to prevent Hwang.

All in all, I'm proud of the result and I hope we keep up raking the 3pts. It's been long I've shouted like this in my life wen lacazzette scored

Coyg!!

Apart from ginger, we have no striker in Lacazette. An out of form Aubameyang was better. Arteta should consider Pepe, Martinelli or Nketiah.

Nketiah pressed very well and made good fast runs. Good game for him.

At the end, it was the mentality that won us the match. This new found agbero mentality will take us far.

This top 4 want to sure o

Roland17:
1-0 down against Wolves no good at all. We have shown promise when we move the ball faster with quick passing and movement.

Which rule forbids Atkinson from giving a penalty for the Martinelli foul?
