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" ![]() 1 Like |

kodded: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: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: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: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: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. 1 Like |

Eawwal: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. 1 Like |

Jodera:Not every time will the opposition miss chances and hit woodwork. The scoreline will paper the cracks as usual. |
![]() |
Jodera: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. |

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

kokaneprodigy: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# ![]() |

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: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. |

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

Spy360: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: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: 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. |
