Some days I wake up, remember we signed Declan Rice, and my day is sorted
Does anyone have a high quality team pic of the first choice 11 that we were starting last year? Digital wallpapers or anything that i could put up as a poster in my room would be nice.
Eddie needs to step up big time (which he did last game) if we want any chance at major honours this year. Jesus being injury prone has necessitated him performing beyond his role as a rotation option. Him going into SJP off a hatrick is great timing.
Jesus needs to step up big time also. We need goals.
People are harsh on Eddie but if Eddie gets into a grove of a goal every game or two he needs to start.
We need to rest the first team and give the others game time against West Ham. If we win and go to the next round its good, if we don’t win it isn’t a huge loss.
i like arsenal football club
Me too. Me like! Me like a lot
Hot take right here
Biggest indicator of a team being in the trenches is when they start comparing their manager to Arteta and his slow start at Arsenal, without using any context
Early Arteta years were pretty bad but the big difference between that and Ten Hag/other managers is probably in terms of what their communication with the owners/board is like. We couldn’t see it but it is clear in hindsight that Arteta had a clear plan from the start ant the board was in the loop throughout. Quotes like “we’ll never play football like Ajax” does not give confidence that the manager is still following his plan.
One thing I love watching from outside my club is how fans turn on managers that could have helped lol. They did well last season and if it takes one fall to get rid of a manager, I’m all for it. That club hurt my feelings for a while and they deserve instability lol.
They have problems that are clearly visible and can be solved.
Ten Hag’s problem so far is talent ID but even with his scraps, he has the right ideas.
Arteta has plan for years. When we are learning our system, the manager must be strong on how he wanted to play the football. Even when we are losing, we are learning. We keep playing that style of football even when it cost us the win. It is not a problem because we are learning.
Second thing is, when we were losing during learning phase, there will be outside voice. Voice of people who don’t understand why we keep doing even when we lose. Manager must keep strong on his believe on the style. Not reverting to the comfort zone.
ETH, did not do this during learning phase. He keep reverting to the comfort zone (counter attacking football), whenever they feel they cannot do it. This is bad for learning and didn’t promote growth. Only promote doubt for the system.
Do not compare ETH and Arteta. Durinh learning phase, Arteta never lose faith in the way we play even when we face loses. We learn, we grow. The arsenal now would not exist without the lost on the seasons below. People must understand that
A revelation I’m finding out from the Zoe Kravitz post is that they allegedly got banned for saying “I like Spurs”.
Honestly I hope that rule is still in place, it’s a good one.
Were you not using the DD when the Kravitz guy was about?
yo mods he said it again
Git em
I don’t think it’s in place because I see people say that every day
I was going to say. In fact we’ve seen much worse than that since Ange took over.
My starting lineup for tomorrow idk if its a bit too strong maybe cedric for white and elneny for Jorginho depends on how we lineup against Newcastle
Rambo Kiwior Gabriel Tomiyasu White🤔 Jorginho Esr Havertz Trossard Nketiah Nelson
why did the post about Arsenal having low xG from the “theOther14” sub got deleted?
And somehow, Newcastle is part of “theOther14” fucking pretenders.
So who else is just counting the days until the next international break? Just hope arteta can use these next couple of weeks to properly prepare rice and saka for Malta at home. But the storylines don’t end there. Will partey be fit to face Madagascar? And you know tomi has that match against Myanmar circled on his calendar.
For anyone watching Sporting CP, does Diomande play exclusively as a CB or does he also play as a DM occasionally? How has he been this season?
Finding an elite vertical passer who is comfortable carrying the ball like partey is going to be so difficult. Has anyone got a player in mind who is a similar profile?
B Team today please mikel
that zoe kravitz shit is the weirdest shit ive ever seen, i’m taking a break from the internet.
Why do we use the third kit for champions league but not the highlighter kit
To sell more kits and make more money.
Player probably like that kit more tbh lol
Calling them “third” kits is probably misleading at this stage. They’re a marketing thing for adidas and they’ll want all three kits to get sufficient air time to drive sales.
The highlighter kit is the way it is to target a particular customer. The “third” kit is targeting the other type of customer. They want to sell to both and associating the kit with positive memories is what will drive sales the most so it needs air time.
The “third” kit was marketed as the European kit on release so I think the plan was always to wear it in away CL games.
There are no PL teams that we would need to wear it against as our yellow kit is so distinctive.
