Leyqute:
SACK OLE NOW!!!

You still want OLE sacked?

Arsenal fans discussing Jack wilshere AMX Erickson is depressing..

BTW,
William Gallas on Instagram: "This result (Tottenham v City) confirms what I said a few weeks ago. It’s a London team which will win the Premier League this year. After seeing Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham played, I already know that it won’t be Arsenal who will win the Premier"

kodded:
every style of football requires a certain type of players

the type of attackers we have can not play the sexy one-two football the fans are clamoring for

take goals away from aubameyang and you will realise that he is no diffrent from nkeitah

lacazzette, willian and pepe are in the same whatsapp group

our only hope is on martinelli, Saka and Nelson but right now only the latter is fiht the other two are currently injured


modified: when you look at the midfield you will realise that we have only one attacking minded midfielder and the player is not even registered

Bolded is true and funny.

You've said the correct thing regarding the parallel lines of the players and the sexy football fans are clamouring for.

With Iwobi,Mhicky and Ozil it was still fair drab football under Emery, now with Saka only, it has graduated to pure haram football..

Massive upgrade in the attacking front and even Tony pulis would do well.

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.

Then that takes us back to what I used to say Here, The entire front 4 needs to be moved on including Auba..I'm sorry its my opinion.

A Sanchez like is needed at LW, one who can track back, win balls back, start attack, run and delete players on the way with fast dribblings, cuts and shoot, arrive in the box, exchange fast passes with CF,LB and AM with a good shooting power and energy to burn...

A Douglas Costa,Robben,Di maria, or fast paced Oxlade,Adama Traore is needed at RW to break teams down, cut and shoot.

An AM like Carzola,Hleb,Iniesta,Debruyne..who will not only rely on killer pass to create, but run at defence, take players on, always ready to receive ball and progress it, shoots far and near goal post, arrive in box and exchange passes with wingers, CF and full backs.

Then an hardworking CF who won't rely on tap ins, one who will drop deep or to the flanks to create space or individual goals.

Failure to get this means Arsenal will continue to be a midtable team and play ugly football no matter who the club hires as coach.

Arsenal do not need to spend £70M to get these players, just get good scouts who've got eyes like those who saw Hleb,Rosciky,Sagna,Maddisom,Kante,Mahrez etc.

Jodera:
Huh? That pattern Arteta played when he started was 10x better than what we're playing now.
It's better to go back to that pattern then work our improvement from there, than to do this present pattern that's torturing us now.

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:
And you think it's not the way the midfield is setup that's why you feel we're that bad?
But then, that doesn't negate the fact sha that we have average midfielders.
Looking at our midfield is an eyesore.
Looking at the attack is even worse

How did we get here?

It's the personnel, There's a reason Arsenal's best midfield play was at utd.
Elneny and Partey have energy to burn, they keep running, wanting the ball, joining attack and helping defence..
Xhaka will not give you that, he's too static and predictable with his passes, Ceballos romance the ball like he is Spain.

The attack has been average since the days of Emery of using Auba and Laca together, but because they score and do that yeye handshake, fans thought Arsenal have the best forward in Europe.

Iwobi was still putting pressure, winning corners, but his end product prompted his sale and buy of Pepe.

I'm afraid AM alone won't solve this, the entire front 4 needs upgrade.

Jodera:
Are you saying arsenal midfield is worse than Leeds and aston villa man to man?

I'll say so, Don't let get deceived by names, that Ceballos is from Madrid doesn't mean jack..except Partey who is still new, can't judge for now.
Let's ask ourselves, Which Arsenal midfielders have impressed like Alex Song, Carzola, Coq and even Ramsey over the past 2/3 years.

We can't continue to blame/sack managers for them.

The Avilla and Leeds midfielders were mobile, defending, attacking, winning duels for 90+mins. They don't need to have big names or media hype, it is what we see.
Xhaka( Average below average).
Ceballos( good but inconsistent and not W.class).
Elneny( hardworking not W.class)
Willock( Either not good or not ready)
..

See Kovacic and Kante, they cover grounds, support attack, help defense and good with the ball.
Leeds and Villa were slicing through that midfield and defending/winning ball backs also.

Eawwal:
Arteta's style of football is too negative. I notice our midfielders hardly join the attack, they stay back to defend when we're attacking including all our defenders. When attacking we hardly have more than 2 players in the opponents box 18,how do we expect to score when we attack with few players, in contrast to Leeds, they attack with all their forwards and midfield, at some point when Leeds are attacking I counted like 5 of their players players in our box expecting the ball to score even before Pepe was red carded.

Our style of play is an eyesore and I don't want to believe all the faults lies on the players. Most of the blame is on Arteta, I read his post match conference, it does not inspire confidence at all, he said he was happy with the performance and results. I'd take Emery's football over the nonsense we've been playing under Arteta.

You would still blame Arterta if he attacks and lose 4-3, he prefers to keep things tight because he doesn't trust the defenders on highline.

Wenger and Emery attacked teams and they created chances, score but concede lots as well.
Arsenal do nor have fast midfielders who can run all 90 mins defending and attacking..
The midfielders can't recover should they attack in numbers like Leeds.

Artrta prefers to defend than attack and expose his defense. Atleast he won trophy and some big teams with this approach.

Btw, Emery is sitting 2nd in laliga and he isn't playing haram football, neither did he at PSG and Sevilla.

Arsenal need to invest in modern day energetic talented players, else this present crop will make klopp look like Tony Pulis.

Jodera:
As in I tire.

The greatest surprise is how our defence didn't concede goal since 56th minute

Not every time will the opposition miss chances and hit woodwork.
The scoreline will paper the cracks as usual.

Jodera:
I've been saying our front 4 is bang average. That's the worst of our department.
Of all, I'll just give Auba a slack cos, he's not playing in his natural position and when he does play, the chances doesn't come enough.

But you see those our wingers??... Na pure pipe dem be

You see that Rodrigo's impact in that few minute? Leeds looked like scoring hitting bars over and over..Arsenals front4 will just be playing like a championship side and no matter how hard the defense and Goalkeeper tries, they'll surely crack after much pressure.

Leeds pierced the defense, Arsenal could have conceded 3 like the villa game, and fans will begin to blame Bellerin and Holding and even entire back line.
But thanks to woodwork and bad finishing from Leeds.

iamoyindamola:

Who ever authorized the purchase of Pepe should be hanged by his balls

Josh kroenke..
He told you guys " be excited after the "We care do you? protest in America " and gbam social media and everywhere went haywire. They quickly sell Iwobi to raise some dough.
I wanted Zaha,Carrasco or Soarez.

[quote author=kokaneprodigy post=96328509]
It’s not worse at least they don’t concede anyhow, creativity is the issue. Reason I was a proponent of fixing the midfield first before defence but some felt otherwise.

I don’t have strength for back and forth argument and I’m tryin to avoid posts that will irritate me. Reason I unfollowed thread, and announced it.

Kindly respect my choice and not mention me on this thread.

Modified: blame is on Arteta, just to answer your question [/quote]
Well, I feel its high time we started blaming players.. The front 4 were/have been useless/average.
Willock
Pepe
William
Auba.

Just Saka alone coming on made Arsenal looked like scoring.
We cover players too much and point everything at coaches.

iamoyindamola:

It's the most expensive cos of the inflation in the TM

But bad scouting, I wonder who scouts players for Leicester, they practically have better players than Arsenal with lowkey price and hype.

iamoyindamola:

I just hate that fool with passion, he doesn't deserve to be a player at all

Baba is in pains
Buh creativity was not the issue or not worse then.
Also Partey is a a solid addition

BTW, let me give you last punch..

This is the most expensive Arsenal team we have had, yet it is the worst.
Our recruitment has been terrible, we are going downhill and i cant see us spending this kind of cash ever again as it is just being wasted.

Copied#

iamoyindamola:
See our ex-captain
Olofo couldn't even do something right

Xhaka sabi form "important figure" on the pitch..what a scam!
I knew Arterta will struggle when he extended his contract.

kokaneprodigy:
Unfollows thread

Baba who we go pin blames on na?
Now wey Ebening and Jerry curl don comot..
This 8 hours without a goal, shey e no come dey worse past regime like this?

iamoyindamola:
Fkhalifa engage your bored bot na, why your thread they scanty.
You win no comments,you lose no one cares

Sha no troll or mention me if Liverpool lose today..That team dey over depleted.

iamoyindamola:
This werey should never play for us again

Howfa Tottenham beat your 2nd love city..now Arsenal dey do you another .

I feel for you bro.

Roland17:


You think say I dey joke

No let me use your handle do example now

It’s a shame how our game has degenerated to this point.

This is the worst Arsenal team I have seen in a long time. Keep playing like this and Arsenal will be battling relegation.

Roland17:


Last week I nearly curse pesin 600 years if no be say him be my paddy!

I will hit the report button on any stupid picture wen I see for this thread.

Arsenal are reportedly eyeing beautifying the Emirates to a super modern standard, far better than Spur's..
Celebrate that, that's a good news.
Abeg no report me o..

Roland17:
If anybody post training pictures for here again!!!

I go swear for ma

Infact 600 years na child’s play.

Can we post Fa cup and community tray pishure
Sir?

edi287:

No worry. When Arteta finishes 10th place, na when una go know.
That guy is way out of his depth.

So far he wins Carabao or Fa cup, fans no go send

iamoyindamola:

Owo Jona
Chaiiii

This Pepe no excite me reach our so called average Iwobi sef.
If not because Crystal palace asking for ridiculous amount, I swear Zaha at £55M, would have been a steal.

Arsenal is opened to an offer for Pepe in January

https://ameboonline.com/2020/11/11/arsenal-is-opened-to-an-offer-for-pepe-in-january/

edi287:
Think it's time to start sack Arteta. Dude is just a catalan Emery.
Overcomplicates shit unnecessarily and NEVER picks the right line up.
Our most creative player gets left out completely without being adequately replaced(no don't you dare mention Willian) and bums like Lacazette are still around.
I don't see why Saliba isn't getting games while Fofana gets playing time at Leicester.
This is the best 11 of that shit club..
Leno - Tierney Gabriel Saliba(Luiz/holding for 'experience' sake) Bellerin - Partey Xhaka Ozil - Willian Auba Pepe
Arteta is out of his depth. Sack that bum now!

Maybe you don't know that, that FA Cup and Tray cup is still being celebrated by some fans, Arterta has earned himself a free ride this season, No result or bad run will put his job under threat.
Just like Auba, no lengthy goal drought will get him sticks from fans. The golden boots are still fresh in many fan's memories..
Had Emery won the Europa, he might have survived sack last year..

Sadly, So many things won't work for Arteta,and by next year he may begin to work under intense pressure for the following reasons:
**The board may no longer release funds,since Partey and Gab's purchase....
**English football and top4 is getting harder each year.
**He'll be forced to work with many deadwoods, average,free,retirees,Academy graduates players.

And by the time Spurs gets back to champions league and fans back on Emirates stadium, Arterta's job will then be on the line.

obontami:


you used to be an arsenal fan. ain't it?

I used to be a strong bonifide fan.

Jodera:
lol... At least, Auba tried.
Na laca wey still dey first team dey vex me

Laca will single handedly sack 5 managers at Arsenal, Only if he finishes half his chances, Wenger, Emery,Ljumberg wouldn't have faced the Sack.
Auba has tried, but I doubt he can still be as hot as his first 2 seasons again..
Arsenal could have made money off him in the market .

Jodera:
Mehn, that Watkins was really good. Good hold up play, ball retention, good movement and well taken goal.
I just dey look am com look auba then shake my head

That Watkins will join City or Liverpool to replace Aguero/,Firminho... And Arsenal will still be worshiping Auba/Laca by 2025.

Spy360:

I know you still love Arsenal but just denying it. At least you are better than that myopic mbecile that does not even have a brain to keep an opinion let alone understand one.

I don't have any special love for Arsenal again, At least not like in the days of Hleb,Rosciky,Fab et Al.

Until I see Arsenal playing beautiful football and backed my football loving ambitious owners, I'm not putting my energy here again.

I rather enjoy football elsewhere in Europe.

Akinbahm:


No once the defense is sorted out to get Top4 would be more easier.

Europa you no go see with that boring attack..
Arsenal is cursed sef,
Sort Midfield, Attack go get problem
Sort Defense, keeper go get problem
Sort AM....Winger problem
Sort First11....Bench and squad go get problem.

Problems everywhere

Jodera:
Lol... The exit of Sanchez and Walcott (tho he was regressing) was the end of our wing play. Cazorla exit for midfield and ozil just finished everything.

So to your question .. Like I said, our LW, RW and CF is dead. Even if Am comes, he might improve us a bit, but with these dead attack, it won't improve much. It's just worse we're lacking all 4. Little wonder we are one of the least in terms of creating chances and scoring goals

You've summarized the whole problem, Sadly, some fans used to believe Arsenal's attack is the most expensive and deadly on paper and should be destroying teams.

But its getting clearer by the day.
