Noni Madueke: There's Noni To Be Upset

[Blood on the Tracks]

He just needs to keep doing what he's doing, the assists will come.

 

[Rasmi]

End product will come his delivery is good and he’s unlucky not to have a couple of assists by now. That cross in for Gyok diving header which went just wide was top notch delivery and would have created a spectacular goal.

That’s what Chelsea fans kept telling themselves until they gave up. I think we will do the same eventually

 

[Geofranco]

Noni might be the best pure athlete on the team. I like his profile, a true winger, not a tweener or a hipster. His work on and off the ball has been impressive so far. You can tell he truly is appreciative of the opportunity he has been given to play for a much more stable club in Arsenal that actually treats their players with some respect lol. I believe the end product will come soon. Can see him doing a lot of damage against City, was also the best player for England during the international break.

 

[GoonerJay24]

Decent game but I think while it wasn’t terrible this performance was a bit closer to what the Chelski fans were bleating about. Lots of huffing and puffing with not a lot of quality end product.

Good start to the season though.

He can improve these aspects with consistent game time and Artetas coaching which is more advanced than Marescas

 

[HollandGooner]

You can see what he can offer and if he can go up a level we have an amazing player on our hands because we were desperate for a winger who could play 1 vs 1.

So we should blame him if the players he passed useful ball to can't score?
I saw some very good balls he delivered to his Arsenal teammates who failed to score.

We should listen to Chelsea fans who want new players every year.

I didn’t see that. Players like Noni has always been around. Pacy winger who lack end product. He’s lucky at arsenal the standard accepted is lower than at Chelsea

The standards of celebrating conference and cwc? Saying they are a huge team now few weeks ago just to know they are never winning the title this season after gameweek 4

When was the last time we won the title?

 

[Xln]

When was the last time we won the title?

That's our standard.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

When was the last time we won the title?

21 years.
And now Arteta must win the title or UCL (which we haven't never won), everything else will be disappointment (and I agree with that)

And why we think that we must win one of these big trophies?
Because we haven't won one of them more than 2 decades, and the other one never.
Aren't we arrogant?

Be honest and tell me, was Arsenal the best team in Premier League (if you take players quality into account) in last 2-3 seasons.
Is Arsenal the best team in Premier League this season?

Chelsea have higher standards than Arsenal? Is this the reason why they bought Garnacho? A winger with less goals and assists in the league than Madueke.

I wonder what you would have said about our ambitions if we bought Facundo Buonanotte who last season seemed at home in a relegated side and started him in a league game like they did. You would have lost your head screaming why a player of that level was even in our squad. But apparently that is the standard accepted at Chelsea.

Created a big chance for Gyok on the weekend, would have created a certain goal if Eze was a bit sharper. He also showed good IQ and decision making to delay and set up Timber for the cross that Rice should have tapped in on the weekend.

Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head along with just generally being dangerous and busy.

Yeah he’s probably not gonna become twice the player at Arsenal but Havertz went from a borderline PL flop to a useful player here so let’s give Noni a chance.

People are over thinking things. If he carries on playing the way he is he will get a lot of assists and general goal involvement.

His final ball hasn't even been particularly poor this season. You're never going to play the perfect ball every time.

He deserves massive credit for the way he started here. You can tell he's got a lot of character about him.

No I’m saying you can play less well at arsenal longer than at Chelsea. They have much higher player turnover and move on players who hasn’t been great quicker than us

 

[Melquiades]

This is the madness.

It feels difficult to criticise, because everything he is doing is pretty spot on. He is making fullbacks look silly, getting into dangerous areas, constantly a threat and wanting to go again and again..

It's just that end product, tonight he destroyed there leftside, but he needs to be adding to the goals and assists.

He's doing all the hard work but it feels like when he gets into a good position to put in a final ball he panics or rushes it and he just ends up doing these 'hopeful' chips into an area which almost never work. You either need to be fizzing on a line for a header or you need to be playing it into the feet of a player in a shooting position. That pass to Eze yesterday which was almost a goal but for a great block was more like it.

 

[Sanchez11]

Its just the conviction nothing more!

I don't get it, it's not as if he's messing up when he gets to the final third or anything like that. It's not like he's constantly over hitting crossing, no beating the first man or giving it away cheaply.

But yeah I've no doubt he'll be in double digit assists at the very least by the end of the season.

 

[MutableEarth]

He's joint 2nd for "big chances created" so this end product talk is a load of rubbish.

It's not rubbish if he still doesn't have the important numbers!

He's playing well, I have no issues with him but he still needs assists and goals now. Fault doesn't come into the equation, we still need those numbers from him.
