I'd like to see the same with of Eddie being dropped for his performance against Villa, Trossard moving to CF and Martinelli at LW.

 

[Riou]

I’d go as far to say this was the best performance I’ve ever seen at the Emirates, couldn’t believe what I was watching after years of Lacazette lmao.

Only true Arsenal number 9s, score against Leicester on their first Emirates match...



...absolute bullet header this!

 

[A_G]

Weird that we haven’t heard any news about a scan.

 

[Malky]

He's going to miss this one too, isn't he?

 

[Riou]

Jorginho played very well against a more physical Villa midfield (who were super fired up for our match too due to Emery) so I have no worries in Jorg starting here.

Just make sure Partey is fully fit before we play him again, don't rush him.

What's the point of calling for totally unrealistic changes? Like it's just not going to happen so why even bother?

 

[DanDare]

Seems they can't defend so if we just do our job competently we should be able to win this

Looking at our next 5 fixtures and based on what on what I’ve seen of Jorghi to date (in particular Saturday) he should be more than good enough; we need Partey fit, not just back, for the final run in.

A fit and on form returning pair of Jesus and Partey could really give us that extra edge to win this title, MASSIVE win v Villa without them and one that could be super important come the season's end.

 

[MikeVinna]

If there’s any doubt about TP5’s involvement I’d rather the club not risk it. And it seems from the Villa team selection that we won’t do that anymore. Jorginho is a solid backup option. I love Mo but I’m so happy we don’t have to start him anymore.

Eddie has been poor of late in the past 4 or 5 games and deserves to be dropped. Whilst Trossard has played numerous matches at CF in the past 2 seasons at Brighton.

He must have some incriminating photos of Arteta to be starting game after game despite being piss poor converting in combination with his poor decision making.

Yes but you know Arteta isn't going to do that unless Eddie is injured so why even bother?

 

[Goonger]

Villa game aside, for some reason, I find away games more relaxing, anyone else?

I wish I did. I look at nearly every away game and think we have the potential to drop points here!

It's not even the fact that he's starting but he's playing 90mins every game, even if he's struggling. Could easily have brought Martinelli on for him in Saturday for instance, just for 30mins, but no, it's the same Trossard - Martinelli swap all the time.

His performance where he was involved in winning the corner which led to our equaliser, and put a chance on a plate for Ødegaard? That performance? Why do others get a pass but Eddie has to be perfect?

Also, Trossard isn't a CF, neither is Martinelli.

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

...come back soon king, please

Watching him vs Eddie…. What a difference. Jesus is constantly involved in our play. He’s the main man. Eddie is just not.

I dont mean to keep ragging on Eddie, but he was not good vs Villa. He was mostly anonymous. Winning a corner was one of his top contributions, roflmao

His top contribution was winning the ball and laying it on a plate for Ødegaard. That should have won us the game.

He also won the penalty vs City.

While Jesus is out, just back him instead of hating on every missed chance or loose touch.

 

[Henry boi]

So what you are saying is other teams are adaptable and change their principles against us to get the result they want. Yet we never seem to go to say City, camp in our own box and sneak a win or a draw.

You say this as though City do this all the time, it was the first and only time a team has had more possession than them in the league since pep took over, maybe the fact that they changed their approach says more about this current Arsenal team
We've seen Arteta before winning the FA cup with a more defensive approach, maybe he feels now he has a team to dominate ball against anyone, and if he feels so why should he change his approach

If the guy ain't good enough he ain't good enough, he misses far too many chances how many has he even got on target ???
