Arsenal Pre-Season 2025

Hopefully against Bilbao and Villareal it's more fun Spanish teams usually don't camp thier area will come and try to play even if it's at Emirates

His helper is Rice. But no one ever blames how dead our football is on our 100 million midfielder

If a footballer needs his hand held, he is sh*t. If Rice cost 400million his job still wouldn't be to tuck Nelli in. This is one of the dumbest arguments anyone makes on this forum and it needs to die and go to hell with Hulk Hogan.

Even if it's a pre season friendly, the fact that we saw us dominate the ball and do nothing with it in the end is the big worry.

If we can't do much without a guy like Zubi on the pitch, then we shouldn't be dragging Eze into late August.

Getting him makes it so Rice can cover at 6 and we'd still have two guys who can progress the ball in midfield.

Just go get it done after whatever first sales we manage to make, don't let it be contingent on one of Martinelli/Tross leaving.

Kroenke have been on an amazing spending spree we first need to sell it matches their ambition perfectly.

It's similar story of last season we basically need Gyokeres to bring the goals Ødegaard back to his best and Saka stay fit maybe Madueke surprise us too otherwise it'll be same struggle facing teams that organized. Our left side is dead been like that since 2023.

They'll have to buy Eze we lack so much creatively

If we ever actually see a preseason game between Rangers and Celtic, that's when we will know it's time to just stop the football.

Playing English teams in preseason games is bad enough, but rivals like United and especially Sp**s... money grabbing ****s all over the game now.

We are always short of superstars when we need them just blame our ****ing owners they have been doing this for years. people who tell me they support the club they do not.

Arteta has his fingers all over this summer as well. He shares the responsibility. The Kroenke’s didn’t force him to spend 50m on Madueke.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Didnt watch but I see the sexuals talking about overreacting so I'm guessing we played very badly

Its a big worry that we fans can see what we lack but our club doesnt.

U shape football again and only created few chance

Rice lack of any creativity on the ball is part of the problem. The left hand side is dead, but it’s not all on Martinelli. MLS and Rice both offer little going forward

Nobody said it's entirely on him but Zidane playing left 8 is not going to help him pick his head up or pick a corner. A better player would do better there regardless of any other issues.

Rice + Havertz left us with a £170m hole.

The first summer back in the Champions League, ended up guaranteeing us of never winning the Premier League again lol.

Only at The Arsenal

 

[TakeChillPill]

yes rice need proactive or another option MLS can make underlapping (robertson at liverpool will make underlapping in that situation)

Rice needs to be moved to CB.

 

[HimalayanGooner]

Rice + Havertz left us with a £170m hole.

those two freekicks against Madrid got some of the £100m back for me but i don't think we're ever going to get that £70m back..could soon be havertz+madueke £120m hole too, not to mention the record wages we're paying our Tony Pulis jr. manager.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

People are angry because nothing at all has changed since last season.

And nothing will so long as the imbecile in charge is allowed to remain.

 

[Riou]

Rice needs to be moved to CB after being sold back to West Ham.

Great post, agree entirely.
