Alaye!

Na Kindergarten at this point

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

Fkhalifa:

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?

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

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

Kokaneprodigy, Calvert-Lewin has more goals than Arsenal has points.
Care to comment?

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.

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

Na fight go kill ceballos
See the werey trying to pull Tierney back to fight

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.

That's not true jor . He actually took him away from the scene and was trying to talk Tierney out of the fighting mood. I watched it wella; this picture didn't tell the full story

iamoyindamola:

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.

I know na
The picture just funny ni

[quote author=Fkhalifa post=96328918][/quote] 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.

Exactly they will blame defence when the midfield is nothing to write about
All those balls that chop bar if e enter na defenders fault

Pepe supposed share this week salary with Leno

As in I tire.

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

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.

Now you want ebening seriously?
This man have been managing scrap players since his appointment and you expect him to over do pass himself.
The only issue I have with him is his foolishness in ozil case and not bringing in esr since we don't have any AM available

Easy, easy @the bolded. Inasmuch as he said that but that's not the full story. He said with the red card that we had early in the 2nd half, that he'll take a draw. And if we're been realistic, a draw is a good result for us knowing fully well that arsenal of before would have capitulated in that match.

But aside that, your observations are very spot on. I noticed that Arteta have this kind of "defence first" approach. While it's not bad cos obviously the players are expected to help the defence, but I feel he's not able to strike a balance between good defence and good attack. Arsenal midfielders hardly enter the opponents box, but at first sign of opposition counter or attack from our opponents, even our attackers and midfielders run to our 18yard box to defend. All these tend to limit our attack as our midfielders (esp) have the sense of reasoning that "we need to prevent goals first, instead of scoring".

P.S.... I'm not against us preventing goals or against for our midfielders to be defensively aware, but good team(s) tend to look out for how to score first than defend. I just feel we're doing it vice versa. Arteta should try and strike a balance the attacking phase and defensive phase, else our attack will always suffer as it's doing presently.

Lastly... Say no to EMERY football

I didn't say I want Emery, Arteta's style of play is making Emery look better.

But what happen to ESR sef. Is he injured or out on loan, cos even Europa I no dey see am.
Abi Arteta do sideline dat one too?

The only thing that has improved in the team is the defense, we haven't scored an open play goal in more than 7 hours of football. We just dey play like Tony Pulius Stoke City team. Lol

He played in u21 last week and scored
When he's not mad why will he sideline him,I'm expecting him on Thursday

That's exactly same thing we're saying. I think he's to fixated on the defensive side of our game than attack. Add that to the very rubbish attack we have and you'll see the reason we haven't scored an open play goals in over 7hrs.

So so unlike arsenal

iamoyindamola:

But why hasn't he been playing in Europa this season?.

If na only u21 him dey play, then he still have long way to enter this team oo

Iamoyindamola, do you remember our talk about Chelsea. How you felt lampard na one kind useless coach with better players but I told you Chelsea is a team I fear, cos if all their whole signings blend, they'll really go far. Now that their signings and the team have blended, they're greatly moving to the right track. It might be too early tho, but at least you can see the imprints on lampard work on them.


2ndly, I don't know if this is too early to say this sha. But we can see how Chelsea are really looking balanced in defence and attack compared to last season. Last season their attack was splendid and their defence was trash. All they just needed to do was just a little tweaking in defence (come in Mendy and T.Silva) and we can see how Chelsea's are looking like a formidable team. Exact same process Liverpool did also... Good attacking play then but worse defence. Then a little tweaking (come in van dijk and Allison), and they looked really formidable.

If we don't have a very good attacking play but have a good defence and keeper, we'll still suffer.

Omoooo
This season is gonna be long mehn.

We're playing Wolves next at home and I don't see us getting anything from the match. Willian and Saka are injured, Pepe red carded and those are the only wingers we have.
