Aston Villa has two strikers better than Kai how dod they manage it? How does Newcastle have Isak? How did Dortmund get Guiarrsey

Watkins is a decent premier league striker, nothing more. We see this every f**ing season. Media "experts", ex-players and even our own fans saying Arsenal should buy overhyped british players like Ryan Shawcross, jermanie jenas, solanke, gareth barry, andy carroll etc etc.

Funny you guys are rating Kai on a good half season. Watkins has had multiple prolific seasons compared to Kai. Fulkrug at West Ham was better than him for Germany and at Dortmund. You fans who say it isn’t feasible to have a better striker than Kai both overrate him and underrate the market for a club like Arsenal

So you are telling me Jorginho was not coping yesterday? You are like one of those supporters with 0 ball knowledge and think "but we won so he was better" lmfao.
At least I support my club son and don't wet the bed, hope you changed them sheets 👍

All right then. Let's just close all the ratings threads too since we support Arsenal so nobody can have a bad game.

I already told you that Fullkrug in Dortmund wasn't better than Havertz in Arsenal.
Fullkrug played 1 season in Dormund, scored 12 goals and had 8 assists.
How is this beter than 13 goals and 7 assists Havertz had last season in Arsenal?
And he also played 1/3 of the season in midfield.
Why do you keep repeating wrong facts?

You really think that 31 yr old Fullkrug would be good solution for Arsenal?

We can have both. Why would you not jump on Guirassey we could financially muscle Dortmund. If one gets injured or goes boil or as a tactical change you have options. At that price and reasonable wages he can be alternative. Or if he is good enough beat kai out. Plus weren’t you guys the one saying Kai can play anywhere? How many LBs does he have for big money striker doesn’t matter?

By the way i said he played well in NDL and i concede he has been good enough since second half of last year, for a team who doesn’t have the ambition of overhauling City and Madrid.

He is a subpar striker as your number 1, for an elite European team so is Morata. Both are subpar. Don’t get bogged down into statistical analysis of which of these two farmer team strikers playing on big clubs is worse. It’s debatable at best

He knows nothing about Fullkrug.
Fullkrug may be a better "scorer" but that difference cannot compensate what Kai offers the rest for the team.
Arteta sees it, Nagelsmann sees it.

Then an EA Sports FC licensed coach thinks he knows better than those two.

Arsenal wanted Sesko and he rejected them.
Osimhen's wage demands were absurd.
Other top strikers weren't available.
Arsenal management obviously didn't like those who were available (Fullkrug, Guirassy)

Ok tell me how Villa and Newcastle have their strike force? That is the exact problem Arsenal management massively overrate Kai. I think I been pretty clear consistent in saying it cost us last year in the title race; and it will again.

Arsenal wanted Isak, but Newcastle didn't want to sell him.
Watkins also wasn't available.

One more thing.
Arteta system requires our striker (including Jesus) to do a lot pressing. Our pressing starts with Ødegaard and then Havertz. Sometimes the striker even needs to drop deep to defend.

Jorgi is a great passer, Partey is good also; but if you ask them to do a lot of pressing, a lot of running, they are not who they are and will seriously affect their game play. See yesterday.

It is so darn easy to say, we buy a better "scorer" and then have him to run and press a lot. In reality, you are just changing their game a lot as well. Not all strikers can run and press a lot.
Can we imagine big (and heavy) fellas like Fullkrug or Boniface, or some other strikers to run and press like Kai? How much energy left for them when the scoring chance arrives??

If we get a shorter player like Martinez, can he be the outlet of our team, and the passing target for Raya?

Watch our games, try to understand what our manager is asking, then we probably have a clue what players we are looking for. See Merino, and probably we were really after Sesko but we were not able to get him, not we did not try to.

Some genius just checking the stat sheets and bring up some names who scored more than Kai and suggested we could do better with those players.
I would like to see Fullkrug and Boniface tracking back and starts our attack in our own half like Kai does game after game, then probably it is time to start considering them.
In the end, they are not that type of players. They are not the players that fit in to Arteta system.

Of course, some genius will tell you, Arteta sucks and there are 20, 30 managers out there can do a better job.

They should just support other teams.

Yes because that is exactly the same as being a complete know-it-all cry baby before the game, being proven wrong and not owning it. Nice deflection though. 👍

Haaland is a totally different beast, obviously levels above as a traditional goalscorer, I'd swap Kai for him in a heartbeat. Isak probably too.

After that I don't think there's anyone else in the PL, particularly ones with the skillset and workrate of Havertz. He brings a huge amount to our side and tends to make the players around him look better.

I will say though, I don't think Havertz will ever be a clinical goalscorer. Some players just don't have the mental aspect for it and though I think he'll improve in that respect he'll never be a killer in front of goal.

Ah yeah Partey didn't get run off against Villa right. It's the voices in my head that are telling this to me it truly didn't happen lmfao.

I hope Arteta don’t fall in love with this defensive approach and given up possession. I understand yesterday we had no choice as we had no legs in midfield. But our fans are now going over the top with mourinho tactics
I don't know what's worse lately, this Mourinho approach or his usual possession snoozeball
