AncalagonTheBlack Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Klopp deserves some blame for this week.There was no need to play Salah, etc in the CL game.Jota too.as a result Jota gets injured and Salah looks knackered by the end today and has to come off so he can start mid week against Tottenham. oh and Matip is injured again FFS.Horrible week.

Soylent Brown Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Jota was one of our fresher players in fairness, he hadn't been overplayed at all. And of course it sucks that Matip is injured again, but let's face it, it was only a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncalagonTheBlack Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 But we're still joint top of the league somehow! Not looking forward to the Tottenham game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The Spurs game will only be difficult for your lot if Spurs score first imo. However Liverpool do have a knack of upping their intensity in these games. Mourinho is obviously going to park the bus and play hoofball to Kane and pray that he can hold up the ball and link up with Son. Also, what the hell is going on with Saliba? The bloke has not made a single appearance in Arsenal's first team in either the league or EL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Son and Kane will be a challenge with the defenders we have available. VVD can easily keep pace with Son, but our other chaps may struggle. Fabinho does really well in 1v1s, but if someone gets past him they're off and away. Hopefully we can start with a more aggressive midfielder and at least give ourselves options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I wanted Arteta to replace Silva a year ago. Sorta happy I wasn't deciding anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Arsenal under Arteta are one of the most boring teams I've ever seen play. They make Emery's sides look exciting. I miss flowing, attacking football so much, not this positional inflexibility with zero creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Arteta's a funny one. You could see some positives when he came in, but the balance has gone a bit this season and they've been struggling. I think he probably has what it takes to make it as a manager, but it may be he needs a few more years to work out his issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 We needed a grind out win to stop the arrest and these dudes get themselves sent off in important games. first pepe and now xhaka sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't really adapted to the players but been stubborn in his beliefs. Results are what they are. Doesn't help that he's still playing the likes of Willian, Bellerin, Xhaka, Lacazette when not a single one of them has put in a good shift the entire season. This after freezing out Guendozzi, Ozil and Saliba. At this point, I doubt they get into the top half of the league before end of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal under Arteta are starting to remind me of United under LVG. Turgid football with passive passing going nowhere in addition to the inflexible positioning.

Mexal Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 on the way towards 4 straight home losses. This takes skill to be this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 This also highlights just how much Aubameyang has always relied on being directed by his passers rather than directing them. Like yeah there is a lack of creativity but his complete passivity as a line leader does not help the creatives Arsenal do have force any spaces. He should watch Jamie Vardy some.

BigFatCoward Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Houllier has died. Seemed like a decent bloke, maybe that was just because of who he was compared to around the time (Fergie was an arsehole and Wenger was very spiky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
