And the Villarreal players are not superstars or £75M, they are just players who understands basics,attack with bravery and stand tall like a team.
Who knows if Arterta sef handle Chelsea team, he could do well, and it'll boil down to the players...

When Pepe was missing empty net,Laca wasting chances, xhaka doing Xhaka things,Mustafi,Sokratis,Kola,Leno etc doing giveaways, I said the players are 60% to be blamed but most people were just pointing everything at Emery.

For me. Its 60% players fault, not even Pep or Klopp will do wonders with the team, they'll just go on an honey moon winning streak,win some big games or even those league cups only to capitulate later on in the league.

Jodera:
Lol... I've come to agree Emery is a right or good coach but a wrong one for us.

His teams play energetic football and aren't boring (except for arsenal). But why I feel he's the wrong one for us is that he wasn't able to effectively communicate his setups and tactics to his arsenal squad. They were times I read the squad were having it difficult to hear what he was saying and they instead meet Ljumberg to break down what he has said. So I just feel it's breakdown of communication that undid Emery's reign at arsenal.
No wonder he's rediscovered his mojo back Villarreal.
Another thing to note of him is that I feel he can't handle a big club.



But As for Arteta case, I feel he doesn't trust his squad enough. Where the mistrust or distrust came form, I don't seem to place it. But the sooner he realizes that and fix it, the better for arsenal and our results.

Lol... She just have to dig a post of over 2months ago to prove she's right just because auba is going through a dry spell.

Na Auba she deh look, she won't look at arsenal that hardly create chances.

mostob:
Yea, i understand. Maybe A change in formation or personnel will be suitable. Auba will move central or Arteta can set up the team similar to Liverpool's.

My hubby just drew my attention to this post and all we could do is laugh at it together. You don't really get it....

ndidibabe:
U don't know football. My husband is a die hard arsenal fan. He has watched these guys play live a couple of times. I really trust his analysis and from what i see on TV, I concur with him.

mostob:
I don't think so. Arteta usually instruct the Fullbacks to move to the Midfield rather than provide width so i think he is playing to instruction.

waleayeni1:
I feel like a guru right now. I tracked 5'e and 7e with one lnb by accident. But who cares, I feel like the Einstein of FTA right now. Added that to 51.5 e and I can tell you for free that the only thing that takes me to dstv now is football matches. Asides that I got so many music movies and news channels than I need I even have several annoying Nigerian movies channels. My gurus in the house, una too much . Only that witchcraft Nigcomsat dey elude me. I go show am after I come back brom my event.

mostob:
Ok...One thing I have noticed about Pepe is that he tends to score more when he is closer to the box. staying on the wing is not just his strength. I think Arteta should redefine his role. I want him to move more centrally. Though, the RB will need to overlap and this is where the problem is, AMN will combine well with Pepe than Bellerin but Hector is the starter.
If Pepe can play more in the centre rather than staying on the wing dancing shakushaku, i have no doubt his output will improve.

Davdan1315:
I just added another lnb to my setting. I tracked 32.9 with my second lnb unfortunately I only got 64%.

My 28.2 is 90%
32.9 is 64%.

Please what should I do to take it to 75% even though I don't have satfinder.

BlueRayDick:
Somebody said Lacazzette is playing 10 in this match .....10 like 0

kodded:
willian pattern of play is depressing

Jodera:
Yeah...
But I just feel he should start thinking like a big-team coach instead of a small-team coach.

Big team coach thinks offensively and how to create chances.
Small team coach thinks defensively and how to prevent goals.

kodded:
jack willshere na pay as you play deal go sure for that guy, beside a fit willshere is far better than willian.

kodded:
boss, I mean am o, willian is a liability for us, infact an ageing ozil is still more valuable than willian to the team.


infact if you can go back to the day we signed willain on this thread, you will see me crying bitterly for his arrival, that man can't dribble, cant pass, cant shoot, cant cross infact watching him play is like pouring 2 liters of hot palm oil into my eyeballs

kodded:
I'm not saying that willian and eriksen both have similar abilities, what I'm trying to say is that we should be careful buying players that has passed their prime.


players like this will give you a very good performance in the beginning but as time goes on, they will start dropping disaster class performance week in week out







and the worst part is that with their age and poor performance, no club will want them for any amount

Jodera:
I just hope Arteta philosophy is not drab football sha. Nahh, most fans won't take it, and drab football won't take us very far.

Jodera:
One thing with entertaining football is that, once your team is settled with the system, you can easily resolve your defence(if your defence isn't strong enough). Liverpool did it, Chelsea done it now(tho still not certified, we'll wait till this season ends to know how far).

Even Wenger created the system too, but failed to strengthen his defence which was why he was underachieving in the league.

What I'm just saying is that Arteta should try and create attacking system for us to build on(that's what big team does), especially as we have good defence. These his type of "defence first approach" won't take us anywhere, as it'll take away the fear factor the we once had against even small teams. And to be sincere, that's not sustainable for a big club, esp a club like ours.

Fkhalifa:
Would you rather Arterta attack and get cricket scores like 3-2 wins 2-2 draws, 1-4 loss, 3-3,/draw, 4-2 wins against midtable and low teams. OR play cautious football and keep result tight at 1-0, 2-1 and relying on sit back/counter against big teams?..

Arteta to me, wants points,wins and trophies than entertaining football as that will keep him in job.

Jodera:
No, at the beginning of his tenure(before the corona enforced break), he didn't start with 3 at the back oo.

His formation was mostly 4231... With ozil at no10 position.(Am)
It was after the Brighton game(we lost 2-1) that he started using 343.


I thought we've sold mkhi... Anyways serie A is a slow paced league. I won't look much into that.

Moreover, Willian played that Am role against Sheffield (2nd half) and that's the only time I can remember playing a game that we pegged back our opponents and created decent chances. The first half of that same match(against Sheffield) was as dire as our normal matches this season.
It's better willian play that Am and saka play the wings.

Jodera:
Yea... But I believe he should work on his attack more than just giving up about it.

I mean, these were the same team minus ozil(and more ) we used wen he took over arsenal and we were playing very good football. Why can't we go back... Esp now that we have Gabriel and Tierney at our back line.

At the start We played good football against

Chelsea... Lost 2-1
Man u.. Won 2-0
Newcastle .. Won 4-0
West ham... Won 1-0
Burnley, Sheffield and Norwich.. We drew.

Yet we played good football with the Luiz and mustafi. With mostly saka(kolasinac) and Amn and bellerin manning the FB.

Why then did we have better defenders now and he's afraid and overly cautious?

It's not fair na

Jodera:
At the start of the season, I might agree with you, but for now, I don't just know.

Maybe, just maybe if our front three improve individually will I be convinced that we need just an Am. But for now, I don't think even an Am will do much.

Jodera:
Mehn, I don tire for Arteta cautious approach sha. I dunno weda it's personnel problems or it's really his system that's making our players look so bad.

No movement amongst our forwards, no quick triangles interplay and/or quick & incisive passes. Our play is always looking labored and slow.

One thing I know is this... If Arteta is always focusing on ways to prevent goals instead of actually focusing on ways to score goals, we will be producing poor performances.
