Arsenal Pre-Season 2025

[maxxspeed]

It's so obvious Ødegaard would be better in that LCM position. Some of his best assists including this one, the one for Martinelli vs Liverpool, another for Martinelli vs Brighton, one for Havertz vs Chelsea all came from the left hand side.

Meanwhile RIce would offer something new with Saka with his underlapping runs in the box for cutbacks and dead ball crosses from the RHS. We'll never see that I think.

If I had to guess why Ødegaard don't play LCM is that he doesn't have the spital awareness to play there. Don't get it wrong he can do a job there but is level will drop. Pires had the same issue when he was put on the right side.

I would welcome if the change will be more direct approach

 

[The Ducking Duck]

He probably means Gyökeres style.

 

[Vinci]

Well, just tell the captain to release the ball quicker.

It's also nice to have two CF that have different ability even tho Havertz make you frustrated when you watch him.

However Gyokeres because of us facing deep blocks will have to drop deep because gonna be difficult him get involved during games

Madueke to resume training in Monday according to gunnerblog

Sporting played against deep block in Portuguese league most of the time.

Saliba looks like a ****ing gold plated Rolls Royce btw.

It's just a given now (like Saka) at how good and consistent he is. The day those two sign their contract extensions will be such a relief.

The day they get a manager that understands the limits of the fragile human body by managing their minutes & rotating them when necessary will be even better.

Tbf we've actively tried to address this in the window with the purchases of Madueke and Mosquera

maybe I'm better playing No.6 where I can dictate

Good news for Rice is that once he retires he'll have a good career in comedy.

Hmmmmmm look at picture below, this football club as big club did not play like big club,

if we continue like this i swear man even until palestine free then we will never can create a lot chance in final third let alone free flowing attack

arteta man, why you did not tell arsenal player to constantly make move to another space (underlapping) when our player on wide area success drag opponent into wide area (2 vs 1 situation like picture below)

the idea of u-shape football is we can drag opponent into wide area, so because of that will create free space on half space after that our player need make run to that half space (free space)

Like I said before if Havertz gives u the same 13 goals 8 assists behind a number 1 who drops 20 plus league goals the whole convo changes on Havertz and we probably win the league if we get both those outputs. Not even counting what we get from Attacking mids or Saka.

Hmmm genuine question are you prescribed Ritalin? Ramblings of someone who is totally wired

That all depends if we lucky they stay injury free but imo Havertz can easily give you 20 goals all comp and Gyo 25 all competition if Saka stay without injures he easily give you 20 goals too but creativity is important we just don't have much

Zubi should change the way the ball gets to those players. Passing to players running into space etc. the players gotta make the runs in the first place. Gyok always does and our players will adapt to the player. Your not gonna score that type of goal every match in pl especially when most sides sit behind the ball when they play us...

That's where ball carriers are needed. Eze ( if we can get him) Noni ... Saka to some extent will be out there. Ode gets taken outta games where we rely on him to help break down a team.

Creativity is one thing but players that can hold the ball and take players Into their box is what's lacking.

Dowman in his brief preseason cameos already shows this quality which is unheard of... If he gets into the box with that ease man he can be special. Hardest thing to do is get a goal when 8 opposition players in front of u very time you get the ball.

This is why we fall into the out wide rb overlap bullshit.

we spent 52 million on Noni and all his clips provided show him taking defenders on .... Eze literally waits for his defender to close the distance and he bursts .....


Im looking forward to the season with the new guys but Eze really signals a change to me especially going forward

it's down to players themselves why White always overlap or attack the open space? you know what stopping Zinny? he just looking at the ball he not looking what around him and when finally he look around him the ball would have gone backwards i refuse to believe Arteta tell them to not attack space because we always looking for space to attack the deep blocks.

if Calafiori was in Zinny position i'm pretty sure he'll make himself available in that space.

Why are you talking about Zinny, he's either always injured or riding the bench, so hardly ever plays

because i'm talking about the picture Viktor posted. it shows Zinny standing there and not attacking the open space

People expecting us to get 15 to 20 million for someone who has made 14 appearances.

They need to ban trophies in pre-season. And ban playing PL teams.
