Loss EFL Cup 3rd Round: Arsenal 1 - 3 Brighton And Hove Albion | Wednesday 9th November | KO: 19:45 GMT | No Streams, Stop Asking For One

Play the kids.

That's what Wenger would do.

 

[Anders Harbo]

People still believe that Lokonga is a real footballer?

You wanted Arteta out…

 

[Rasmi]

I'm worried about viera, doesn't look up to it physically for a arteta style system. I was hoping he could compete with Oordegaard and provide a comparable standard

40 million project. Has shown very little so far. Probably the weakest player physically in pl

 

[Jasard]

Wasn't this competition partly to blame for our squad falling apart last season? Good riddance.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

No offence mate but you're chatting ****. Saka, Martinelli, Ødegaard, White, Gabriel, Zinchenko and Ramsdale are all top players.

He probably means we lack similar strength in depth & we do tbh. A couple more windows will see that improve tho.

Wouldn't be so sure since he doubled down...but yes I agree with what you've said and tbh arteta has said as much himself

 

[BergMan]

Were we even that bad as you all are saying? Liverpool’s depth needed penalties to beat a league one team (third division) at home!

Brighton are 6th in the premier league and they have a strong squad. We made 10 changes to their 6.

By all accounts we had more possession and created more chances than them. Individual mistake from a 20yo keeper is the reason we conceded one of the goals. Maybe our depth isn’t as terrible as is being made out. It’s never going to be like Man City’s.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Season over imho

 

[Riou]

@A__G can we lock this thread now too, was literally a pointless match for us.

 

[Riou]

...John, ffs

 

[drippin]

What happened in the 3 matches after Palace, Brighton and Soton with the same players out injured?

I hope you can enlighten us.

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

This shows how much bad depth we have within our squad, won't help in general if we get a few injuries during the later part of the season. In saying that, I'm not too fussed, much rather concentrate on the PL, UEL & FA cup.

 

[The_Playmaker]

Forgot Tierney? Zinchenko, Tierney + Tomiyasu is surely enough quality for LB position.

LB is not a position I see us upgrading for a while, there are other needs. Tierney has been playing well.

I think we should sell Tierney. I still don't think he fits what we want our left back to do. He isn't good enough on the ball when inverted.

We need a left footed Ben White. Any ideas?

 

[14Henry]

I hope you can enlighten us.

Memory loss is a terrible thing. You should get that checked out.

Arteta extended Tierney in summer 2021.

Pretty sure he won't upgrade him yet, he is not bad even as inverted LB.

He has been injury-prone so he won't fetch as big transfer fee as he could at this point.

Or you should just say your argument rather than go to personal insults.

What are you talking about argument? I only asked you a question. Jesus you're awful wound up pal. Lighten up

I think I went to the toilet after those three matches. That happened. Happy?

That must have been one hell of a mate!!

 

[SA Gunner]

Awesome mini thread on how De Zerbi and Arteta tussled tactically in Brighton’s build up.

De Zerbi and Marsch are impressing me tremendously so far this season. Top coaches.
