When you mean finisher, you meant someone who's expected to score with the little or no chance he had.
And you're calling Walcott? Walcott finishing that improved after Henry's 2nd coming, that I even suspected that it was henry that taught him some finishing techniques sef.

Forget, Walcott was never a better finisher than any Ronaldo.
I told you what I said not whether it was correct. Off course I said so then to spite sod09 and pickabeau our two clowns then. Sodick knows why that's why he sings it every day. And I am glad he does, because it keeps him on my robotic mode.

Lol... Saka is not a lb, but every single one of arsenal fan will prefer him over kolasinac who is a natural lb everyday every time, twice on weekends.
Greenwood is not a winger but every man u fan will prefer him over James who is a natural winger day in day out.
Why am I bringing this? That xhaka isn't a DM doesn't mean he shouldn't play the dm role well or we shouldnt criticise him wen he's playing there. At least, towards the end of last season, he played the DM role the way that's acceptable to we the fans, if he'd played like that before, who would criticise him? At least not me.
It seems you've forgotten how erratic xhaka was.
There is what is called area of jurisdiction. If you want to judge a fish, place it inside water.

By the way, since Arteta we have been playing without a DM. It's always been a double pivot hence why it seems Xhaka has improved. There is no improvement, it's just him playing his natural role just as he does for his country. That's what Arteta has done. Placing players in their natural role where they feel comfortable. He even got a role for AMN where he can join the midfield and attack has he has always asked for. Ndi analyst hapu m aka. I know I can keep explaining but you people won't learn. Later you will come and say we are going in circles or that's what I have been saying and all those shits.

Mark my words, I did not say Walcott was better player but that he was a better finisher. Even if I was wrong at least that's what I said which is arguable.

Modified : that should be 2012 or 13. Not sure. Omo we have lived long for NL.

When someone consistently drops poor performances, doesn't it mean he probably lacks the potential in that role? Xhaka isn't a good DM and his performance says so. Should we not say it as it is? Should we not demand for upgrade as it's what's best for the club? I agree bluerray was overly critical of Amn, but then would you blame him? Was that not the path that made us keep wilshere and diaby for almost/over 10yrs in this club. Was that not the reason we're mostly jostling for only top4?
It's good that Arteta is a good coach and also tactically good, but like any successful coach, he needs to be ruthless. Thank goodness he did that with guen. I know someone like Wenger will never do Arteta did to guen.
You see the problem. You say Xhaka is not a good DM. The question is, is Xhaka a DM?

It's like say, Saka is not a good LB so we should throw him away and buy a better one.

Or

Aubameyang is not a good winger. Let's sell him and buy a proper winger.


AMN has already justified me, so no need picking Blueraydick on this. I believe he has learnt.


Talking about ruthlessness, I am glad Arteta is because it's a quality a good manager needs to have. Interestingly, modern managers lacks it due to pressure from the board and club owners. But let me tell you, in the late 90s and early 2000s as I can recall, managers then we're very ruthless. Do you know how many careers Wenger and Fergie ended because those players were stubborn. Go and check about Boa Morte and Dwight Yorke and both coaches role in ending their careers. Also it was Wenger that finished Vieira.

The thing is Wenger is sympathetic towards younger players due to he understands their age issues. But none I can remember of Wenger's proteges were stubborn towards him except Vieira. RVP was sold to raise money but he never criticised W. publicly.

. Who was against Arteta's signing from inception. The person that said he wants mourinho, we all know that everybody here was against him for bringing such. Moreover, he said he's no longer an arsenal fan again, so why are you bringing receipt of someone who's no longer an arsenal fan.

Also, you too like this "I told you so" of a thing and wouldn't want us enjoy the moment. Xhaka was under par and we criticized as usual (as fans). Now he's improved, should we still be criticising?.

Take elneny as a case study, he wasn't too performing wen he first came, if really he's unplayable now, should we still be criticising and complaining about him and he should be sold? Come on, put things in context and let's just enjoy the team.
If everyone dey bring receipts, even you would be found guilty.

Nb: my responses here are for this post and the other one you talked about arsenal fans being like false prophets.
There is a difference criticising poor performance and saying a player isn't good enough or that the player lacks potentials.

Ability to decipher between these two is what causes a lot of emotional arguments on this thread.

Indeed he has improved but we have better defenders now. Besides his 'improvements' are still not our desired standards.

I still stand on what I said. We missed Giroud last two seasons (off course we can't miss him for ever you skunck head), and ten years ago, Walcott was a better finisher than Ronaldo.


Never argue analysis with me. You can argue history but definitely not tactical analysis.

Arsenal fans here are like modern day false prophets. They will be doing hide and seek until something happens then they all jump out to claim they have been prophesying it.

I know how much they condemned Xhaka, someone even said Aubameyang should be sold that he is a tap in striker, others claimed our major problem is midfield and not defense, I will not mention the person that was shouting for us to sell AMN that he will not amount to anything.

Now they are doing mouth like a hungry warthug. Yet, they will come and start arguing analysis with me and be telling me to respect their own opinions.

In my opinion, both Xhaka and Mustafi improved under Arteta.

There was a time Xhaka played LCB which gave room for Bukayo to excel.

My point is, Xhaka is the type of player that provides balance and stability to the team. He isn't the best defensive midfielder out there, neither is he the best central midfielder, but I assure you, he is more of the type of player that controls and dictates the pace of the game. He is more like a mordern day Pirlo.

Mustafi on the hand was erratic and lacked confidence, but when he started playing with Luiz, who sadly can be more erratic than him, his game improved. My point is, Mustafi is the kind of player that needs strong people around him or good support system to bring out the best in him.

That is what Arteta has brought to this Arsenal team.

The environment is healthy and positive. Kudos to Arteta for that.

We are playing more like a whole unit, like a family, it seems everyone wants to give in their best for the team. That's why I'm indifferent about us selling Guendouzi, we can't have any one disrupting the flow of the team right now.
Iamprety sure iamoyindamola was the one who both liked and shared your posts. It will not work for the two of you. We are selling Mustafi by fire by force

At least, I don see say xhaka don improve and he isn't like before, or rather, Arteta played to his strength instead of his weakness unlike Wenger and Emery. Now he's improved, make I still dey cast am ni? tongue tongue grin
Xhaka has never been the problem. He is only scapegoated because of our lack of a DM. That was why his pairing with Torriera looked like the best during Emery because Tor does the tackling while he does the passing.

Arteta's new tactics allows the FBs to drift into midfield to assist him that's why it looks he has improved, but I tell you he is amobg the most consistent players we've got since Wenger. Go and check. Don't forget to apologize. Thanks.

Just look at this one again angry

We complain he is not good enough to play DM because that is what we see when we watch him play that position. How is that an issue ?

He's playing well now in a more advance set up now and we acknowledge the fact that he's playing well. What exactly do u want again? For us to apologize that we pointed out what we saw or what ?

I know. We all agree upgrade is needed, but for now, xhaka is still good. He gives key passes, he good aerially, tho not good at DM, but under Arteta, he's one of the keys while our passing out from back is successful, he's also one of the keys our lwb plays like a winger, thereby making auba to effectively play the false 9(like an inside forward 9).
These are the things I want you to know xhaka is bringing to the team. He's not less useful the way you're painting him out to be
It's funny how you guys are now seeing Xhaka's actual role in the team. Before you and Blueraydick (I don't want to even mention iamoyindamola) have always thought he was an out and out DM. You blame Xhaka that he is too slow, can't pass and all those bullshits. Now you have seen that Arsenal does not have any DM in the team. The fact that Xhaka manages to cover that role should be a plus for him not a minus.
