Kanu the bench warmer better than bergkamp? hahaha
Bergkamp that's probably top10 of arsenal's greatest players?

kendrick93:
Arsenal fan that doesn't know his starting lineups....
What is Kanu doing in the starting xi when a player like berjkamp was around

Jodera:
Well...442 go hardly work. At least, not with the personnel we're having. Also, have you noticed most teams don't use 442 now? Cos of games presently revolves around control of the game and possession-based. With 442, against a team that uses 4231(which wasn't predominant around 2000-2004), our midfield will just collapse. Even against the modern day 433, our midfield will so collapse too.

Fkhalifa:
You see how they look like giants, see Viera

They bossed everywhere, win duels, cover grounds,doesn't chicken out and were brave to the core. 442 will work for them.

Far from slow,weak,soft and laziness.

I am implying that tactics as much as passion led to the victory especially when the same tactics led to 2bwins out of 3 in our previous encounter this season.

olabode89:
Did you watch both games against Burnley and Everton.

Hope you know we won 2-0 at Turf Moor. At Old Trafford we missed couple of chances before conceding from a set piece and a wonderful goal from Jay Rodriquez.

Against Everton at Old Trafford we conceded a goal from a set piece and De gea was also fouled. At Goodison park De Gea made a stupid mistake. In both games we employed different tactics and had good chances to win the game.

Fkhalifa:
They said you're Ty of this thread, Infact you must have read lots of Wenger's quotes.. your optimism no get levels ...

Why don't we have history classes in our schools anymore?

So sad for the present generation.

I watched the Manchester Derby and the only thing I saw in that game was passion and desire from manu Tactics counted for nothing but a will to do whatever it takes not to lose to city was all I saw. I really hope we can see such from our lads going into the game against city even though I doubt it. Sometimes tactics count for nothing if the desire to win at all cost matching the opponent stride for stride and winning all the 50/50 challenges and giving them little or no time on the ball is not done.

Unfortunately I really do not see those attributes often in our players and unless they put that into play coupled with the tactical understanding the manager is drilling into them, then we may win lower opposition but still lose woefully to the top guns.

I'm even skeptical of our chances against Sheffield in the fa cup because Sheffield are a well drilled team. And their players have passion in them to go out and do whatever it takes to win. We really need our team Phycologist to help this team understand that winning should be a habit and losing should not be an option against any opposition. The game against westham could have gone south if West Ham converted their chances and to think we were at home. I can't fault the manager here because its glaring what he his trying to instill but seems some of our personell are not good enough to execute. I really just hope we can make top four but more optimistic about the next season where arteta can get funds to bring in his own type of players and a full pre-season. All in all hoping we can do well on Wednesday and the rest of the season

Jodera:
You're making good sense tho. But the difference btw him and auba is that he can play the wing role more than auba, that's why the left back is helping auba in attack so that to he can cut in. Pepe he is believed can beat his man one on one, but he hardly does that effectively. Aside our last game in which a cb was by his side, most games bellerin do help him, he doesn't still perform as expected. His decision making is mostly poor also, and he tends to over dribble. Our attack do go through his wing too, but mostly the wing isn't that efficient

Na to kukuma pray “The Lord is my Shepherd” on Wednesday.

Dreamswayne:
Because Bellerin has been instructed not to overlap...


If Arteta prioritize that right side the way he did for the left, Pepe would be having better performances!



All he does nowadays is stick to the right side to give us width and not drift into the middle like an inside forward he is...

Roland17:
Thank you VAR for doing the right thing.

Pablo Mari Makes premier league debut

BlueRayDick:
Option 2.

Xhaka should not be the one to decide hire and fire decisions. The club/team does not revolve around him.

BlueRayDick:
The club has scouts paid to do that job already. No be scout go find Pablo Mari come out?

kokaneprodigy:
If Xhaka dies today God forbid we won’t play football again? Xhaka is easily dispensable

BlueRayDick:
Bros I play amateur football quite well as a teenager. I didn't end up playing football as a professional because I was doing well academically and my parents would have none of the irresponsibility that trailed most local players.

You see, coaches start players for different reasons. It is not every player u see on the pitch that are the best in their position in the team.

That Xhaka starts under Wenger, Emery, Ljunberg and under Arteta doesn't mean he is the best player in that DM role in the team. There are so many considerations that could have led to that decision. Since Alex song left that DM role, we haven't had any physical player to step into that role. Coquelin was short. We had paid good money for Xhaka who is 6 ft 0in as against song who left that is 6 ft 1 in. Xhaka was the only option. Considering the fact that we haven't invested in any DM afterwards, it is only normal for all coaches to stick with the physical Xhaka till they get money to cop another DM with his stature but more of a ball aying DM; not one who wants to stay in North London and pass the pass to Sambisa forest.

This is why I hope and pray out of the funds that will be made available to Arteta, he should get a DM and sell off Xhaka to recoup a part of the cost instead of continually managing Xhaka

BlueRayDick:
We've seen a ball winner like Torreira play alongside him winning all winnable balls, but that his superior ball passing ability how often have u seen it on display?

At what point did he display this attribute consistently that we all didn't notice?

If u ask me, Sincerely I think u are obsessed with Xhaka. You seem to have a believe he will reach some certain heights when he hasn't even left the floor.
