Still think Arteta can get us Champions League next season
Still think Arteta can get us Champions League next season
Not my job as a scout but im sure we could have found someone if we wanted to. And if we couldnt then what on earth are we paying these people for?Who was available in January bar Vlahovic that would have been better than what we got. Vlahovic is probably the closest profile you will get to Erland Haaland. A young, tall, strong complete CF. That profile is very very rare ATM.
I'm gonna ask you 1 more time. Tell me which of these so called mid-table players of ESR's age (21) have better stats?
We don't play good football, that's the first thing he needs to sort out and results will come later. Atm, we are just garbage with no real strength and some very obvious issues in buildup play and creating chances. If we ignore the results, can you say you see something in his football that makes you positive about the future? Just asking as you seem to be positive that he can do it
So when we signed Luiz and Willian it was these players are over the hill. When we sign young players they need time to develop? Ultimately Arteta approved both of these strategies and has hid behind them.
And i get we have a young squad. But we have a young experienced squad who should be finding consistency. They shouldn't have the rawness of a newly blooded player - and if they do wr need to ask why? Are they really good enough?
Ramsdale (aged 24 - 125 senior appearances before this season)
Tomiyasu (ager 23 - 160 senior appearances before this season)
White (aged 24 - 163)
Gabriel (24 - 128)
Tierney (24 - 232)
Partey (28 - 291)
Xhaka (29 - 421)
Saka (20 - 92)
Ødegaard (23 - 252)
Martinelli (20 - 83)
Lacazette (30 - 445)
Esr (21 - 71)
Sambi (22 - 78)
Tavares ( 22 - 41)
Nketiah ( 22 - 85)
IMO that is a very experienced squad that we started the season with. Nearly every player had played around 3 seasons of senior football. The ones that hadn't had at least 2 seasons worth of games. I accept games do not necessarily translate to minutes so there may be a gap there but there is still involvement and with that experience gained.
Its a false position to hide behind IMO.
Funny coming from this account, he’s one of the biggest culprits when it comes to insulting Wenger to prop up Arteta.
Sp**s more ambitious than us. This tweet has finished me off.
We had our first choice team against Palace and it was such a beating that we won't be able to forget it anytime soon. Completely overrun by a bottom/midtable team. We don't look good, we only hope that some individual player will do magic and we could steal some points. End of last season it was Pepe making the difference, this season it was Saka and in some games Partey, none of them did it on a regular basis.When we have our first choice team this season, we actually looked very good.
You and James McPrickolas blaming Elneny is a joke! He very much influenced those wins against Chelsea, United and West Ham. It's too easy to reduce this sh!t show to just one or two players.I can see why the club went for Willian and Luiz. They are both top players who have won the top trophies in football. They know what it takes to win when the stakes are high hence why the club went for them to supplement the youngsters. You need that, every team needs that and the top teams have that. Chelsea have Kante, Thiago Silva, Azplicueta, City have Kyle Walker, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Fernandinho Liverpool have Fabinho, Robertson, Van Dijk, Alisson, all experienced difference makers to guide and supplement the youth. Our difference makers flopped.... Lacazette, i'm looking at you, Xhaka, too erratic despite being an experienced professional who captains his country. Cedric not influential enough, Elneny 29 years old and should be able to influence games but can't do it consistently. It's not enough i'm afraid.
And in the league...only Pool and City are definitely finishing above us next season, the rest are catchable with their issues...have to sort out our issues too though!
Again: There is nothing to debate. You are not an Arsenal fan.

I mean, I get it, the players we’ve had available recently aren’t really up to it and as an Arsenal reporter I guess it’s the rational way of analysing the situation without opening yourself up to being “negative”.Worth reading, Nketiah, Elneny and Cedric get all the blame. Apparently it's about quality, not Arteta.
Yes not doing jack **** in the games that matter against NC,Sp**s, Soton,Palace and Brighton is going missing even though he was not alone the entire team went missing it just goes to show that the talent is overhyped by our fans.So scoring against Man Utd at Old Trafford is going missing, Scoring at Stamford Bridge (twice in 2 seasons with last season being the winner) is going missing? Scoring at home against Sp**s is going missing???????? GTFOH with your nonsense.
Wonder if DT is still bad mouthing Wenger and bigging up Arteta from his prison cell.
You berate our young players that you gave no hope to in the first place
