I think the players is about to send Arteta packing because you can't be giving balls away like that. I want to believe it is deliberate.

Hausa:
Gra Gra no be football.
Some of us that understand this game know wella.
Exciting players are filled in the Arsenal squad, yes.
But can these players TAKE US TO WHERE WE DESIRE TO BE?
It remains to be Seen.

I'm not shocked at all.

Shegzdave:

Can this be fatigue?
All our attackers just off at same time

mostob:
Fatigue? Are they the only ones playing every four days?

Roland17:
We need all 3 points and a clean sheet.
#COYG

Jodera:
This one weak me sha.

Why didn't we promote an Lb from academy instead of buying that stupid Kiwior?. How the hell did we end up with this guy? Just look at the first goal.

Martinelli needs 3 weeks benching to reset his head. This guy is just worse by the day.

We NEED a VERY GOOD STRIKER. Nketiah should be sold, Jesus should be a second striker. Omorr, I'm tired!!!

How the hell are we so bad at counters? We'll have an opportunity to attack and we'll be there playing calm game and back pass before pushing forward.

The team seems not to trust the LHS again. All balls is just to the RHS and even Rice is moving towards that side. We need Partey fit to play with Rice. See how Rice was high up the pitch when Saka lost the ball for the first goal.

Lastly, Corners!!!. We've the worst corner tactics in EPL. Easy to defend. Can we just switch to our last season corner tactics please?
I doubt we'll score anymore goals with this tactics!!!

A sad end to the year football -wise. Hope is just wearing thin!!


Anyways COYG!!!!

Shegzdave:

I just weak bros.
What could’ve happen, they don’t press well, to score goals con look strange ti them, loosing the ball carelessly.

Abeg, who approved that Kiwior guy? That guy isn’t it, Arteta is so biased toward those player, always introducing Nelson to the game whenever he’s looking for a goal as if the boy is a messiah but to give him play time, MBANU

Martinelli should be glued to the bench for some games abeg.

Lana1:
You know what you really need? This handkerchief

Leyqute:


Ahan. Kilagbe kilaju? Ko to be na.

You guys were just unlucky. Arteta will get it right very soon and the elephant will remain on the tree.

COYG!!

Ray07:
another shock today
Join Girona and clean away your tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ray07:
This man wan finally finish us.

mostob:
There is nothing Nelson wanna play bro. Nelson, Kiwior, Nketiah and ESR might soon be shipped off.

Roland17:
If you are here screaming buy this, buy that and the tactics is still the same, then you are short sighted on the issues plaguing this team.

Rice is one hell of a Footballer and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him but he is no Partey. Partey’s ability to dictate the tempo of games with his passing and movement is difficult to replicate.

Jodera:

See you wey dey advise me to divorce arsenal and Marry Girona, Meanwhile you never even divorce your own spouse who's in very worse state than my own.

Bad friend indeed

Jodera:
Spy360 talk say na Havertz absence make wey we lose against West Ham.
I still dey look for the breaking of the box wey him talk say Havertz dey bring.

Arteta should just convert this guy to DM and Rice Am. Cos na only when we dey lose ball I dey see this guy face, but whenever we are in possession, my guy go just lost. Even if him manage get ball high up the pitch, it's either backpass or sideway pass. No atom of creativity in him. We just dey suffer for that LHS with lack of creativity. Then we have headless chicken Martinelli in front.

Hmmmmm!!!!

Ray07:
Team way I don divorce since. Dey there the suffer nah

Spy360:

The tactics no dey work again.

Hausa:
That one sef dey.

The problem with the players we depend on to take us to where we desire to be is the Lack of all-round Development in their game.
These are the players we heavily depend on: Martinelli, Saka, Odegaard.
Whether they're exciting is not in doubt. Their development as all-round players is incomplete. That means we'll need quality players to help them develop. Arteta might be a coach and whatnot, but he doesn't understand these things. And that's why the players will give him hope today and leave him confused tomorrow.
If you have played this beautiful game and studied football very well, you'll discover that the TRUE TEST of a WINGER is the ability to take players on. If you can't do it every now and then, in my opinion, you're a waste of my time.
You must be able to do it 7 times out of 10. This makes defenders know you're ruthless.
Martinelli struggles to take players on. Saka too.
And even though it is true that Martinelli and Saka usually do take-ons, it's not enough because the confidence they have is not enough.
What does that tell you? That Development is not enough.
You want to be a Great player on the wing and you cannot beat players 7 times out of 10 on the by-line, where would that take you?
Of course, you'll qualify from the UCl, and you'll likely win the 2nd round of the UCL. But when the Quarters come, what happens?
You'll likely fall apart.
We've seen players do it - Mane, Salah, Bale, CR7, Mahrez, Chiesa, etc.
Even Robben and Ribery were doing it at Old-age.

It would have been easier if they were very special talents but they're not.
Even if you give it 3 extra years, we won't achieve much.
The reason is, Arteta is not ready to drop Saka, Martinelli and Odegaard. He's also not ready to rotate them.
In trying to help Saka, he brought Marquinos, who had zero experience. Shaybe people said he was exciting. Where is he today?
That tells you Arteta doesn't know what he's doing at all. And then there's Nelson. What can Nelson do for real? Come'on! Let's be real.

We don't have an influencer in midfield. Rice seems to be one, but he's a wannabe influencer. It's not part of his game even though he tries to do it.
Partey is an influencer, but he's absent.
Our chief influencer is supposed to be Odegaard. But he doesn't influence, does he?
That's why I tell fans to be careful about stats because it is not everything. Yes, he scored 15 goals a season. And so?
Let's be real. Does he influence games as much as you desire?
I don't need him to score goals. That's not his job but just a bonus.
I need him to be in that area and dictate the tempo and make everything revolve around him. I need him to be able to find players both aerially and on the ground, giving slide-through passes, and picking pockets every now and then.
I need him being in charge in such a way that his teammates understand that they can make intelligent runs when he's with the ball because they trust he can find them.
I've said it before. We can't go anywhere with Odegaard as our creative midfielder. You look at Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen and see what he's doing. Then you know Odegaard is far off from what we want.

My concern is that if Arteta believes so well that he'll make Odegaard, Saka and Martinelli his key starters and not bring anyone else of higher quality to challenge them. Eventually, fans will turn on him, and then the management will do same.

rooftops:

After all said and done Florian wirtz is the big name player you called. Someone who is just having his breakout season if I am correct.

The wirtz is even more of a ball carrier to me who is also still developing. So your solution to odegaard is wrong. Let us hear your solution to saka and martinelli.

Jodera:
Happy New year Family.
We pray this year usher us more open doors of opportunities/success and exponential growth in all areas of our life. Amen!!

Also, we hope this year, Arsenal will bring in that elusive EPL or UCL.

COYG!!!

Ibunkun1:


Baba, happy new year

Jodera:

Na why I even ignore am and no even quote am.

He talked about How Odegaard doesn't have leadership, model and lack consistencies and the person he called is freaking Wirtz as replacement??

So between the two, who is even closer to his criteria sef?

Some people ehhh

rooftops:

All his criteria no even enter for wirtz. I even had to check their stats. Wirtz has 5goals and 5 assist while odegaard has 4goals and 3 assist with less games o and a more competitive league.

I no be arsenal fan but there is no way I won't put odegaard in top 5 creative midfielders in the league and saka also top 5 wingers in the league.
If he said the coach should request more from them that is understandable but saying they can't take you guys anywhere (which I will be happy about anyway ) is where I no go gree for am

iamoyindamola:
Happy new year Fams
I hope arteta get sacked if he doesn’t bring epl or ucl this season
