Spy360:Truth be told, Arsenal is playing real well, not just stringing beautiful passes, but the eye for goals and constant pressing is the striking difference between Emery and Arsene. Torriera is the 'white' Kante. Dude is strong, balanced and got ball sense. That Laca goal sweet me sha, e dey like say I dey play PES ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

Proud of the lads today. We could've nicked it but it was a tough game being up against a side who have been built for 3 years under the same man. Xhaka, brilliant. Couple of lost balls but i've always supported him, he's such a good deep lying player. Torreira, well, he's just Torreira. Seems he plays 8/10 minimum every week. I want to give a shoutout to Holding, his composure and reading of the game was awesome. His confidence playing out of the back was simply superb. Serious player. Laca, thank you son. Auba, again, just struggled to make it happen when starting out wide. Lethal player, but this system/position isn't ideal for him. |

Unlimited22:Yeah, man, I know that. But Klopp is 3 years ahead of Emery and has had 6 transfer windows to build a team in his mould. Despite that, It was a fairly even game and I can't help but imagine Emery would have edged it out if he fielded a team with his own players. I think the future is bright for Arsenal as Emery has just shown himself to be a fine tactician. A couple of transfer windows and he'll definitely challenge Klopp and Guardiola. I'm pleased. ![]() COYG 1 Like |

I am so proud of today’s performance and more importantly, that we got a point out of it. In the past we probably would have played well but still lost but there is something about this unit under Emery, they have resolve and they maintain it. We were all over Liverpool and maintainer discipline. How about Xhaka? My goodness he barely put a foot wrong today and guys don’t get too used to Torerria’s greatness and forget he is one of the best midfielders in the EPL and I say it without any hesitation. Rob Holding is definitely going to form the core of the new back line after Emery revamps it. He kept his composure against the best front 3 in the league. Laca has a lot of power and that was how that shot powered through from that angle. I have to agree that playing Auba on the wings has not been beneficial for him. We either partner him with Laca or one drops to the bench. Ozil has a very good game in my opinion. Nothing flashy but he controlled the game for us and kept possession of the game. All in all I am super happy and proud. The other top teams are now wary of this team and rightfully so. 2 Likes |

Skimpledawg:One striking difference between Wenger and Emery also is their approach. Emery is more pragmatic in his tactics and substitutions. Wenger would have left Iwobi on the bench. But the boy changed the game. Again Emery touch line character puts a lot of confidence on both fans and players. With such, even a loss won't be painful since fans see the drive to win. 2 Likes |

Spy360:you have to admit the fans believe even when we losing they were behind the team. Mustafi was urging the players not to give up yet, Emery was shouting and encouraging. Now that's what we want, not that old classy man fighting with zipper or water bottle.i won't forgive him |

Emery's approach to games is so different and better than that of Wenger, The players were fighting,contesting duels and played with much urgency. Holding since the fa cup semi and final game against a tough Chelsea and city team has my respect, I personally rate him above Chambers. Xhaka I'm a big critic of him, surprised me a lot, Toreira had his best game so far for us and bellerin's improved going forward. Iwobi showed us what a wing specialist can do to us, he was a constant threat to them with passes, movement, pace and take ons. Imagine we had a Zaha against city, Chelsea and Liverpool Auba is being wasted on that wing, he's a ball to feet and space striker, he scores better in the cf position.he isn't the type that creates chances,take on defenders. I was envious of van dijk's height and power,he bullied us a lot, only if our CBs are that big, they will exude confidence and fans won't complain much about them. Hopefully, after few more transfer windows, Emery and his crew would have assembled a much better squad for top laurels. 3 Likes |

Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Spy360(m): 3:16pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Emery's preference of Lacazette over Auba in the centre forward position proves that coaches prefer a striker with good hold up play than a good finisher. This explains why the likes Giroud remain relevant in the minds of coaches. With good hold up play, goals can come from any part of the pitch. But with a striker that is good in finishing but poor in holding play, you depend on one person to do the scoring. An alternative is to have both on the pitch, in a way that balances the team. This was the secret of France's success in the World Cup. Better still, if you are lucky to have both skills in one player... |

Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by daveP(m): 4:43pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
starting those four guys has never given good results for Emery. He should stop the quartet from being on the pitch the same time. Torreira was try the MOTM, but I'm also wondering the kind of influence Guendozi would have given these Liverpool defenders with his long passes had he been available. Sometimes I don't understand the Welbeck intro cos it amazes me. Auba shouldn't allow this to ruin the fire inside him, but Emery too should pls and pls treat this guy right for God's sake. He can't dribble well on that flank and he is a speedster, why can he allow this guy come on in the second half to run down defenders and earn a PK or two? Captain Fantastic is still recovering cos I'm tired of conversing stupid goals. 14conceeded. 9by Cech and many still want him to comeback and keep? Abeg!!! Xhaka seems to be the real captain. Seems he learnt well From Koscielny. Ozil doesn't look like the one that would bark orders or control his teammates. Enough of giving him. Even Ramsey fits than Ozil. If only Torreira has chosen a low shot and Bellerin that does L2 before has L2'd that shot well, we won't be in this draw position. Overall, Good for shocking the Klopp!! Wenger really dented the image of this club and it's affecting. |

You guys really need to let Wenger go. U played very well ND you're still blaming Wenger. Let the past stay in the past. You don't need to wear the captain armband before u can start barking orders on the field. I feel with time, Torreira would start doing that as soon as he understands English or Xhaka should do that now. 1 Like |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Spy360(m): 3:59am On Nov 06, 2018 |
daveP:Ozil is a spoilt brat. He needs the armband to do well in big matches. So let him have it. I also hear he inspires in the dressing room, but that's by the way. Leno ahead of Cech for me. Dude can play as well as keep. He is very good in aerial balls. With time he will learn to avoid mistakes. Torriera makes Ozil and every other person play well. Enough said. Xhaka is a natural leader. His improvement under Emery is amazing. As for Wenger, let the old dog rest. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by Hardetayour: 1:57pm On Nov 06, 2018 |
How can u say someone needs armband to play on big matches? Clowns all over this thread |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by daveP(m): 3:21pm On Nov 06, 2018 |
Spy360:Well said. But I'd prefer he gingers both off and on the pitch, that's leader. Recall what Ronaldinho did one time at Barça when they were down at halftime and Pep was giving one yeye tactics. Dinho spoke to his teammates the tactics that would win them the match and it worked in 10mins with goals. Pep didn't like that, but we know that is how a leader supposed to ginger his mates. The look of Ozil most times when we are a goal down is just enough. As for the four guys. it's better Mhki and Ozil don't play together or one plays with one of Laca and Auba. with Iwobi or Welbeck filling in the gap. Iwobi's using style to show the world that Mhki is getting surplus to requirements. With lesser Minutes on pitch Iwobi is doing far above what Mhki is doing. Like I said, I know two or three players are coming in January. Watch out. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by sod09(m): 3:41pm On Nov 06, 2018 |
what do you guys think of zaha or lozano for wing ![]() |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by KevinDein: 5:57pm On Nov 06, 2018 |
sod09:Zaha would be great but he seems out of the price range Arsenal would be willing to consider (something like 60-80 million pounds). The club will feel there are better values elsewhere. Which leads us to someone like Lozano. But there's no assurance he'll hit it running in a much superior and physical league. If anything, I trust the Arsenal scouts headed by Mislintat to bring in someone that will fit and improve the team. They've been great so far (they have brought in Torreira, Guendouzi, Aubameyang, Mavropanos, Sokratis and Leno) |

Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by KevinDein: 6:31pm On Nov 06, 2018 |
sod09:Zaha may be playing for the Ivorian national team, but he's still English and will still carry that premium that goes with English players. Besides, he just signed a long term contract with Palace and he's more or less the difference between them staying up or going down. He's worth so much for them. |
