I love it though. Partey has gotten some nasty kicks but stayed up.. so has Saka. Without the ball, the are winning the challenges and going in hard. I saw some of these during the preseason and it is impressive.

I love it too but I don’t know if it will last till season end
That’s my fear

Once again, thunder faya whoever supported the departure of Thomas Partey. You see those his long long curled passes to Saka and want that to suddenly disappear from Emirates?


You see those kine passes and also realize that virtually nobody in the XI throughout last season, not even Jorginho, could replicate such defence splitting passes?


Allow Partey to Partey after another Partey.

Nelli is not really in this game. I think the presence of Kai is the reason. This squad sef ehn. Trossard still dey bench o. Omo!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I think it will. I saw a lot of it against City last week and I believe it is intentional and a part of the tactics now. It will also depend on how well we manage our players conditioning.

Rice keep it up 👍

Our defenders are on vacation.

The commentator said our CB position is Saliba + 1…. Thus far Saliba has proven him right, he’s practically everywhere breaking up attacks before they even start and he’s continued the duty of pocketing attackers from where he stopped vs Halland

Timber is down..

Martinelli shaking turner is funny to me

Timber should stop lunging like that, he can either get seriously injured or break an opposing player’s leg in the process

A dominant 1st half. Score a 3rd before the 70th and make wholesome changes.

Arteta should talk to him

Saka is getting double figures. But nothing will be sweeter than he doing a dozen on UCL duty. Welcome Back to another season!✅🙌🏾🙌🏾

Jod.era 1 more.

Lol... Calm down

Leyqute:
I still don’t understand why you guys hate on Martinelli. He gets results.

Wrong thread!!

Nobody, I mean, absolutely nobody hates Martinelli here

As a team, you’ve lacked this necessary trait for too long. EPL championship teams always have a certain physicality about them.

Maybe that’s why Gabriel is on the bench.

Managing the squad’s conditioning or physicality?

Anyways, Arteta’s tinkering is why Gabu is on the bench.

Lol. I know you’re being sarcastic sha. Or taunting your fellow fans for complaining incessantly about Martinelli.

After Oodegard maybe he’s probably the next guy with the strongest mentality in that side. He’s obsessed with scoring and winning.

As much as we were very dominant in the first half, I'm still wary about our defence shape being opened up when met with quality opposition if we continue with this pattern.

A good team good on counter and can spot runners might decimate this our defence.

I just hope this Isn't our defacto formation sha

Managing condition.

Nottenham forest doesn’t warrant starting your strongest defenders.

That he tinkered and is still doing well is a boost for the whole season. As long as he doesn’t overdo it and does it when necessary, e go cook.

My comment was about managing player conditions. I wasn’t saying that Gabu doesnt like giragira

Jodera is right , nobody hates Martinelli here . The only thing Arsenal fans complain about his game is that he needs to look up more often when he’s driving the ball towards the opposition box ; that’s not the same thing as hating him.

He’s one of our best players .

Timber injury.

Arsenal village people strong gan o

You are giving NF too much credit. Albeit, you are right, they are the best opposition to try these tinkers with.

Tbh, I'm not sarcastic.
I love his mentality and aggression but sometimes he can be very frustrating.

Saying anybody hates him here is overreaching. I don't think presently there's any player that any of us here hates or have any agenda on

That doesn’t look good for Timber. I hate muscle related injuries. Tomi comes in.. Well, we saw him struggle at LB during the preseason. NF is the best opposition to try this..

You know it.

Pep didn’t field his strongest side yesterday either. It’s always a good thing if you can start at 80% of your full strength and still be able to blow teams away.

Our formation and tactics is all over the place and it is now affecting the rhythm and flow of the game.
