Fabio Vieira: The Portuguese Project

[chessygoal]

He isn't a winger and never will be. Play him centrally or don't play him, it was a really bad decision by Arteta to choose him over Nelson/Nketiah.

 

[Riou]

I can't be watching an Arsenal team with Ødegaard, Fabio (yes, he's lost his second name for me again) and Havertz all on the pitch together.

Each one is just the same as the other, just a little worse

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Reminded me a bit of how Ødegaard looks out on the wing, not really his habitat.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Why play him on Wing? Its not his position his best performance came from LCM put Havertz as CF be creative mikel yes we'll lose physicality in midfield but at least team will be more balanced

 

[Sanchez11]

Invisible tonight

 

[TheGreatWright8]

No idea why he was on the wing better off putting ESR there.

 

[RunTheTrap]

I want to criticise him for the meekness on display, but this 100% on Arteta. Arteta should have put Havertz at CF, moved Jesus to the right wing and played one of Vieira at left 8. Why he thought Vieira could replace Saka is beyond me?

 

[Paperino]

don't play him

Thats a good idea.

Yep. We have one of the most expensive, greatest Arsenal squad ever assembled but our manager keep tinkering and playing everyone out of position.

None of that is a solution if you ask me, our planning and recruitment are properly lazy and this is modern day football Guardiola and Arabs brought to us. It's all about buying player after player until something sticks.

Funny thing is most of the fans absolutely love it, they can't get enough praise for Pep and his "ideas" even though all of that is based on the roster superiority where he can try whatever he wants having 25 top players at any time

In Europe you need transitional players on the wing and we stuck him on the Wings for which he was anonymous.

 

[Maybe]

New Bernardo, eyyy

 

[MutableEarth]

Felt a bit sorry for him tbh, wasn't really given the most helpful role in the team. Replacing Saka with a completely different profile and not changing a thing wasn't smart. Might have gotten a different performance from him if he came on in midfield instead.

 

[TH14shahriar]

He's not a RW, stop playing him there.

Thats the problem with our squad, we dont have a natural replacement for Saka.

Trossard couldn't go 90 minutes after his injury, so we still needed Nelson on the bench and I prefer him on the left too. Only alternative is probably to put Jesus as RW.

Nelson is rw. Played there his whole career until two years ago

 

[Mikael_Sammy_Squillaci]

Is he injured? I would rather have him in the match squad than three defensive midfielders.

 

[OnlyOne]

Thanks for the nightmare, but it's time to say goodbye.

 

[Sanchez11]

Too flakey got smashed tonight

£100+ million wasted on bums like Vieira, Jorginho and Havertz. Criminal.
