Premier League 26/27: Defending Our Crown

I think we might start slow but once we get into a rhythm we should be very strong. Individual quality in attack is still a concern but the quality and depth of our midfield is frightening. I can’t remember us ever having so many quality midfielders.

Rice, Bruno, Zubi, MLS, Ode and Eze and can add Merino. That's 6/7 for 3 places. Just need a reliable goal scorer

 

[Artemis]

I'm not worried about the PL. I think we'll win it again. Potentially even more comfortably than last season.

But to win the CL, it's absolutely essential to get a quality attacking signing.

I don't want us having to defend with all 11 players against PSG again.

this below is way better than supercomputer, i have no idea man how the FU*K you predicted exact total points that we got to win the league last season when the fact so many pessimistic noise in that forum before season start but that pessimistic noise did not affect you at all

and what make me amaze is we only reach 74 points in 24/25 season and this arteta project look done hopeless but somehow you still have confidence to make prediction like that, i know we have many key player get injured but your prediction so detail with mentioned total points even said "easily" lol that is elite prediction man

I can't believe my eyes dude. How can you not have dark mode?

 

[OnlyOne]

Don’t know if we’ll win it as it stands, asking Mikel to work miracles again.

We gonna waste potential amazing midfield with this attack next season we'll dominate games better and we gonna put teams in difficult situation however with this attack we won't go far specially without Timber and Saliba we probably gonna concede goals we need to make sure to sign some good attackers that can score because with this attack they average goal a game

If we have Havertz x Saka x Ødegaard fit for most of the season the attack will be good enough.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yeah if they dont bring very good attacker our hopes will remain on these 3 because Noni and Gyo are extremely limited and we need to be lucky with Tzolis and he give us goals and assists this guy was brought to be backup not to start regularly

 

[Rasmi]

If we have Havertz x Saka x Ødegaard fit for most of the season the attack will be good enough.

Havertz? You putting your hopes on freaking Havertz and Ode who has 2-3 goals in him a season nowadays

Some of you have fallen in love with the struggle

seriously we really need quality LW so bad because our LW cannot created chance & score goal in final third, so if we buy quality LW that will improve our quality attack in final third

yildiz more than enough imo to improve your attack drastically

 

[Aubamabludclat94]

Bruno Rice Ødegaard / Eze depending on the game is gonna be a worldclass midfield. Just want Saliba to be able to stay fit and firing for 70% of the season and just one of Tzolis or Saka to hit solid heights and we walk the league imo. Get a good LW who’s explosive off the ball and making runs (Barcola) and manage Saka and Havertz fitness well and we’re fighting for a treble

Havertz, yes. Glad to have him healthy. Saka, if he is healthy.

But how many goals will Ødegaard score? He is a control player.

My assumption here is that you are counting on the front 3 for all of goals?

I would start a real 10, likely Eze, over another 8. I don’t think Arteta will do this with a healthy Ødegaard, but I would.

I’d even start one of the kids at 10 over Ødegaard at 8 because if we need more attack. You get no points for passing the ball around in your midfield.

Yeah I think our most balanced MF will be Rice x Bruno G x Eze in terms of profiles. That being said, Ødegaard isn't just about the G+A, he is a cheat code at ball progression and has such a fantastic understanding with Saka on the RHS.

Ødegaard when fit and healthy creates more chances from open play than any midfielder in the premier league. Yes that includes Bruno. The only competition in that department throughout his development in the league was KDB. Last season he was fit like half the season and he was still like top 5. He's our most creative midfielder and our captain, and he's been fantastic this preseason with a fantastic World Cup. He's going to start most games as long as he's fit.

Though his passing has improved since the world cup, which is a short window, Bruno can handle that responsibility..and score...and defend. Why do we need both?

If we are comparing 8's, Bruno hands down.

If we need a 10, which I prefer, Ødegaard is 4th choice, maybe even 5th.

 

[Mraven]

Think we’ll win the league comfortably again. I just don’t feel like watching it if we play the same stale football we did last season.
