utterly shite game
Utter shyte
sleepy snoozy bedtime vibes and it's only 10 past 7
bukayo soccer
>BaduekeStill infinitely better than Saka has been all game>>153823487>>153823489Woah. Uttershite hivemind
ref's been shocking bad but arsenal are worse
Cope: the thread, the game, the sequel
>>153823493I woke up at 5 am for this bs, hopefully we keep it at a one goal margin if we dont equalise
arse will unironically sit on losing 1-0 to bring to the next leg and instead theyll concede in stoppage time
im starting to believe that kai havertz isnt real and its been AI this whole time
MOVE THE BALL FASTER YOU LETHARGIC MERCHANTS IMAGINE COMING FROM WATCHING BAYERN AND ATLETICO TO THIS DROSS
>>153823527We're all saying we've been shite where's the cope?
I did not place a bet against Arsenal today. That is why they are losing. I didn't think this game was important enough to warrant it. Never fear, I have money against them for the Everton fixture.
Kaibros… it’s time
>>153823569this is the mind of the gambler
>plywood>>153823554He's warming up I think. Shame Arteta will probably take off Gyokeres though. >>153823561>fasterDon;t be saying that heretic shit here. Arteta would skin you alive if he could hear you.
>>153823561Are Levekusen a relegation team like Bayern and Atletico's opponents?
>>153823539That or we score 90+ but still concede in the last kick losing 2-1
should've been eze
>>153823598>Shame Arteta will probably take off Gyokeres though.I don't know why I even bothered typing it out desu. It was always going to be the case.
>>153823539This has porto leg vibes all over it, we dominate at home and only score a goal in regulation + ET ending in a nervy penalty shoitout
>>153823561next youre going to say you want them to play a through ball???!?>>153823598lol gyok with another GREAT SHIFT!!!
>>153823602or like psg where they just straight cancel the weekend game
Out of the many MANY shit performances I've seen from this team this season, this is definitely competing for the worst. Even by Arteta's low slopball standards this is fucking dreadful.
just a grim game of football this.
>>1538236026th of the Bundesliterally Conference league tier
>>153823579The "football team" "Arsenal" serve one purpose, and that is to torment and punish me. I can beat the system by betting money against them, losing United States dollars instead of my happiness.
>>153823631can't even make the excuse that he's resting playersfull starting 11 playing like shite
Better luck next year
>TimberSHOOT YOU DULLARD
>>153823624>lol gyok with another GREAT SHIFT!!!Blows my mind that >we bought a player that can cunt a ball in so easily but >we would rather do fucking anything and everything else than create that chance for him
Artetenyahu should be tried for war crimes after this game.
>relying on a half dead Kai to save the day >not replacing Eze and keeping Gyok ARTETTTTTTAAAAAA
>first of the two-leg knockout fixtures>Arteta has the team playing like cowardly shittersThis was always going to be the case. It has been like this all season.
>>153823658He has dropped off heaps, cant believe retards were saying he's the best right back in the world when hakimi exists
>>153823668i mean he never gets the ball. look how many wasted passes go out right
>>153823631>Even by Arteta's low slopball standards this is fucking dreadful.Is it? It seems pretty standard honestly. Conceding first is a rarity for sure but the football generally is just as fucking godawful as it has been for the last two seasons.
rolling for a 2-1 win for the arsenal
I miss when Rice would bloot
>>153823678Didn't you see the headlines? After the Tottenshit game Eze DEMANDED more playing time from Arteta and Arteta conceded. He "earned" a longer leash by not playing like shit against a relegation-tier rival.
problem is leverkusen seem to have done their homework on us, this feels like a prem game8 at the back
well deserved smack in the head
>>153823631Seems like a regular game to me. The only exceptions were against Bayern and Atletico
>>153823696>the horseshoe of misery
ah yes jesus will save this
The ball is falling into dangerous areas at these set pieces but they're getting fortunate no arsenal player is near it. Happened like 3 times in a row now.
Arsenal win this 1-2 you pretentious fucks. >Muh muh muh arteta muh muh we're shit
>JesusOh fucking joy. Maybe for once in his life he can actually score an important goal rather than the token 4th one. >>153823696Kek, just made myself laugh thinking Arteta will see this and say to himself "boy look how many red arrows are going in to the box but there are tons of green ones around it. We should keep up the green ones and avoid the red ones".
>gaysusYeah I'm out
>gaysusArteta desperate>>153823717Theyll be just as formiddable at the emirates
>Kai and gyokeres work well together>never pair them up again>decide to combine Jesus and kaiFuck you arteta. You're a fucking faggot who plays favorites no matter how awful someone is playing.
WHERE ARE THE DELUSIONAL FAGGOTS?WE ARE NOT BUILT FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
>YeIt's over, innit.
>Gabriel JesusWhat's he going to do in the 80th minute? This manager is clueless
this fucken ref is taking the piss here
>>153823774goal scorer should've been sent offit's been a piss take ever since
>Jesus for Eze>When he's taken off Gyokeres for KaiMaybe there's logic in there somewhere but boy do I not see it.
jesus christ timber
This is like the Brighton game all over again. Except that we are Brighton
Gaysus is just nkhetiah but can dribble a bit
>timber
one (1) shot on target vs the 6th place Blundesliga team, Arteta has been found out so hard.
>>153823758Lmao took you a while to find the new thread didn't it? Dumbest schizo
>PlywoodAt least it's an attempt. That's the best I can ask for at this point.
i'm tired of it all
just fucking bring on dowman. we need someone who hasnt been completely corrupted and had their spine removed by arteta
PENALTY
>>153823816yes
ERAenter the gyok
based dookie
>That defending
>>153823825i feel like there wasnt contact but my stream is dog shit
that aint a pen lmao
The Kroenke check cleared. Tillman gets unlimited Walmart groceries for life.
>PriceAt least it's a shot, even if it's fucking laughably dreadful. Yet again, for the nth time, they pass when they shouldn't and shoot when they should.Also,>BaduekeWas there even contact there?
>>153823846Check is complete its a pen. His armpit caught maduekes leg.
thats such a dive lol, took two steps after the contactstill a pen by the rules tho
ben
>Scammed a penKek take it and run
>>153823846He hits him early (when the defender is on the way down). It was bad defending and a penalty.
oh okay he got him with his side before the fall i guess i'll take it
Saka doesnt win that pen
That was a dive but I'll take it
>>153823872>>153823877ill take itthank god saka is off and cant take it
>>153823791Saka is just Kenny Tete but can dribble a bit

Where is the anon that was complaining about Barca getting a last minute pen in the previous thread?
Absolutely got away with one here if we come away with a draw, fucking awful performance.
feels a bit rude to have havertz take it tbqhwyf
no era kek
I'M A FUCKING KAI GUY
>>153823703I BELIEVE ONE MORE CUNTS
Need a bit of luck in knockout competitions :^)
FRAUDULENT DIVEFRAUDULENT GOAL
>>153823740Btw if i'm right cancel your general cause you're clueless, all you wanna do is complain like the diehard fans that you are
>>153823927wasn't complaining about the pen which was stonewall, was complaining about the ref going over added time.
one more PLS ARSENAL
>>153823897He can barely even dribble anymore, he really needs to be investigated for age fraud
A penalty IS a set-piece.
Kaichads we keep saving the dayToo ez desu
>>153823981Based
My dookie is my best friend now
Last min corner come on
decent result for the stinkiest performance of the season
In a way this is actually fucking genius from Arteta. If you score a goal in the very last couple of minutes, the odds of them conceding instantly after scoring, which is tradition at this point, is minimised drastically. 400 IQ innit
Chelschads saving arsenal
Soft, very soft.
why are they putting grimaldo on havertz
>>153824011not to mention their goal scoring CB captain not getting sent off for a blatant second yellow
clear pen. >>153824036
So many times this season where we benefitted from the big squad that we have. Fresh players coming on and get to run at tired defenders.
Legohead wanted to play Ye and put Kai, while taking off E Z, he should've taken Martinelli off instead of Big Yoke IMHO. The last 10 would look quite different, I believe.
how does havertz get a yellow there
this referee is such a spastic my god
hope this ref gets in a wreck on the way home
>>153824011>stinkiest performance of the seasonNothing beats that Brighton game. That was so bad.
Forget the fucking ref man. What the fuck were >our players doing?
>>153824038Very suspicious for an American to commit this foul to rescue an American-owned team...
IT'S FUCKING OVERWE ARE NEVER WINNING A EUROPEAN TROPHY
>>153824038Lands on his ankle and doesnt touch the ball
We play like a rugby/NFL team. Pure scam. >>153824038He definitely takes a dive, if he stayed on his feet, ref wouldn't have given it.
You just know these retarded bookings for saliba and havertz will end up costing us. The same ref who didn't send their goalscorer off for a second booking decides to throw out bookings for nothing. Zubimendi too. Fuck this turkish cunt
>>153824085take your meds
Underseved draw but feels good being the bad guys for once :)
whatever, 3-0 at the emirates
>>153824038>>153824055It is soft, but he has made contact with Madueke and not touched the ball.
>>153824080Like, this fucking referee is the only reason why >we even got a fucking draw. A penalty for that shit is beyond soft.
>booked the KaiserThis ref, holy lmao.>called in a foul on the Ye headerThis fucking ref.
Leverkusen tactic for the 2nd leg: 7 at the back
>>153824038free kick to Leverkusen, Madookie goes through the player to get the ball
If Troy Deeney says it's a pen, it's a pen
>>153824080this fucken retard saka needs a couple of smacks on his head. he's getting way too comfortable with playing like absolute shit. stinking our entire attack, eze was not bad besides his subpar defending.
>>153824080Maybe they think it is only the 1st leg and muh Everton on Saturday.
>>153824094Pretty much what I was about to post. Soft penalty but we'll take it, a good result and we should be fine in the second leg. On to the next one
Diving cheats.
>VARsenal
The pen is the only correct decision this ref gave today because it was hard to see maduekes foot getting caught.
What does he do?
no injuries? can't believe it>>153824132contact = pen
Actually no era, but I don't care anymore. Is this what it feels to support VARdrid?
>>153824118Would be true if the Leverkusen player was in control of the ball. Madueke was and that makes it a penalty.
Arsenal just becoming more and more of an unlikable club to the neutrals
what are we watching next?chelshit or the mighty shitty?
We didnt deserve that...Are we the baddies? Is this what Manure and Vardrid fans feel like every season?
>>153824156makes contact with madookie twice (leg and then body) without getting the ballit's a by the book penalty regardless of how soft it looked
>>153824092Thata the thing doc, he took his meds
>>153824168gotta be shitty unless they start winning. cant watch that
>>153824124>his fucken retard saka needs a couple of smacks on his headHave to start with Arteta to get to Saka. If Saka can put in 2/10 performances day in day out and still get to start every match then why would he bother? Especially when he's getting 300 fucking thousand every week? And Eze is just way too casual. He's got brilliant feet but just way too casual. Which is incredibly fucking ironic considering just how fucking slow and lethargic >we are in general. You'd think that casual style would be excellent here but somehow no. >>153824127>Maybe they think it is only the 1st leg and muh Everton on Saturday.You, me, everyone in this thread, and the 11 players on that pitch, all know that it's just going to be more of the same dire fucking dross against Everton and most likely in the home leg too. I thought >we'd look a bit more fucking energetic considering it's the CL and >we usually look good there but I was foolish.
>>153824179look again VARsenal cheat, Madookie makes contact with him first
>>153824168watching lelsea and cheaty split screenbeen loving bodo but I can't see them doing it again
>>153824038So was barcas
>>153824185I hope they win. Keeps them busy. Otherwise they'll have a week off if they dont play in Europe. Its why I'm not too bothered about the CL this season. The players will get run into the ground with all these games.
>>153824147Without the extra yard of pace he’s lost, he’s crap. Basically hes black so everyone loves him regardless and no blacks can turn on another black it’s impossible and all arse london whites are faggots and should be exterminated by Rupert lowes death squads
>>153824207madueke was in control of the ball and his foot was clipped by the opponent's legthat's a foul anywhere on the pitch
>Resorting to UEFAlona debaucheryThis ain't the kind of club that I want to support
If the barca pen was a pen (it was) then this one definitely was too
>>153824160Why would any fan care what neutrals think. They're not very neutral if they care either way tbqh.
>>153824207You are so fucking stupid. There, I said it. I won't even apologize.
https://x.com/i/status/2031748365482930649Wtf
>>153824222Leverkusen player gets his foot in between Madookie and the ball. Madookie kicks his foot and then dives
Are we watching PSG/Chelsea or City/Madrid?
>>153823460Why Arsenal need to cheat
>>153824227please change teams nobody is stopping you>>153824231the hatred makes it better i grew up surrounded by utd lads loving all the abuse because it comes off as jealousy>>153824238>Leverkusen player gets his foot in between Madookie and the ballyeah without getting the ball AKA a foul
>>153824222>>153824232Lads, at this point you guys should know better than to feed it (You)s.
Paddy was right to be concerned. Sorry I doubted you. I worked with a lot of Patrick’s on the road and even though they are crazy and drunken idiots they are very rarely wrong in their judgment.
>>153824237The Arsenal-Spuds rivalry deepens.
>>153824244Bodø/Glimt you faggot
>>153824253thanks for taking our detritus, we owe you and australia a lot!
>>153824250He has every right to put his foot there. Madookie initiates the contact. Free kick to Leverkusen. Arsenal and VAR cheated AGAIN
>>153824253It's not even hard to judge. It was just the same football >we play in the league. Seeing it in the CL is pretty rare but it's not a rare thing to see whatsoever in general. Obviously I'm quite a doomer but still.
>>153824261I dont rate pashun merchants
>>153824237kinoy!ds will never recover>>153824263>He has every right to put his foot there.if he wins the ball lmao i'm done replying to you focus on your shitty scousers and fuck off
>>153824207Dont slide in the box you wont draw a pen. Skill issue
>>153824147waste 50 minutes of my time
>>153824160Fuck the neutrals
>>153824279He can put his foot where he likes without touching the ball m8, Madookie is the one who runs into him. If there's a foul in there it's Madookie preventing him from getting the ball
>>153824322Defender didn't win the ball m8, clear pen
Why can't Saka dribble through 3 man marking him anymore?
>>153824336didn't win the ball but didn't commit a foul either
>Irish anon who supports Arsenalbased>Irish anon who doesn't support Arsenalcringe
>>153824362>Swedish ponce who supports Arsenalponce>Irish ponce who supports Arsenalponceweird...
>>153824352injury done him, just like White and Ode. Thanks Arteta.Noni has to start every game from now on, was probably the worst game Saka ever had in an already shockingly bad season.
Do spudz still want Eze?
>>153823600>saka must be insufferableNew guy Victor is finding out first hand and is seemingly putting a spotlight on it too cause people are starting to notice just how insanely selfish Saka has been this season. A bit of selfishness I fully understand, especially when you're an attacking player, but Saka's is borderline mental. Someone mentioned Tuchel telling him to pump his numbers before the season if he wants a spot on the NT and maybe it's completely coincidental but I wonder if it's that simple.
everyone so mad
>>153824362Arsenal is Ireland's third English team after Liverpoo and Man Utd.
You're welcome. We just need a little refballing in return at Anfield.
>>153824371you love arseanal just admit it
Arsenal have played 47 matches so far, with only 3 losses
Turned on the chelsea game to see them get dunked on by Barcola who usually can't hit the target for shit
>>153824515I've been saying this a lot but we are so hard to beat. We literally just went a month and a half without going a goal down.
>>153824515Would be nice to have a trophy to show for it at the end of the season.
>>153824515>LiverpoolThey're simply better>Aston VillaThey're simply better>ManureThey're simply betterSee a pattern here?
>>153824649you being an annoying fag for 3 months straight?
>>153824657
can’t see the club winning anything at all of the form doesn’t make a sudden u turn to either being back to conceding no goals at all or, which is a likely as me winning the 6 times jackpot tomorrow, the attack suddenly clicking.Everyone is just god awful and completely depleted.
Now man city are getting dunked on kek
>dollarumma
Need all the other English teams out as soon as.
wait, do arsefags actually think that was a penalty? lmao
stinky draw away not looking so terrible rn
Semen yo was a fucking slam dunk winter signing why the FUCK did Arteta sit on his arse
>>153824714Im telling u trossard for these shitters is ronaldinho and calafiori looks like kaka.
>>153824833Lelverkusen shouldve played the majority of the game with 10 men, evens out, if that barca pen yesterday was there then this one was too
>>153824833well there was a penalty therefore yes it was a penalty
>>153824878not even close to the same lol
>>153824872Kai was like a new signing.
Wow city are getting destroyed
>>153824714Thank Allah that city are worse
>>153824914unlucky for city that kylian "bukayo saka" mbappe is out
>CitehThis can either be really good for us or really bad
>Pep losing to a literal coneplacerYikes
>>153824873I have to believe you just have not watched the last four games Trossard played. You keep saying this and it's weird.
>getting dismantled at the Bernabeu couldn't be >my team
It's crazy going from watching that Arsenal game to a proper footy match in Madrid/City...Arteta makes me HATE this sport then I regain my love again watching other teams.
I fear this is Bodo/Glimt's year.
>>153825006watching arse has mind broken me. i dont even understand why other teams are able to play open attacking footy. i just default to complaining about opponents parking the bus when they dont even do that
>>153825006you'd love to get smashed by real madrid?
>Arteta says his players were shown three clips of Leverkusen's kick-off routines before this game but were still caught out at the start of the second half. He is clearly deeply unhappy about what happened in the build-up to Leverkusen's goal.
im racist to whatever race causes cucurellas hair
Reminder all these fuckers were holding their hands laughing at us when we got robbed by officials vs Newcastle and Man City
What Chelsea reject should we buy next?
>>153825178palmer would be a good addition to the arsenal hospice team
Noni “When you cant win dont lose, Everton first then we will get the job doneWhen you come on and your team is losing. It gives you that extra impetus to go and win. On the ball, we were not as good as we can be but we will work on it and show that in London”
>>153825006City are just as boring as Arsenal with their sideways passing. The only difference is that their defence is shit so there's a higher chance the opposition scoring and causing an upset.
Do you think Arteta will watch the two goals conceded by City and think "damn, that was such a risk to play that ball long/into the centre, we would be better off keeping possession"? Cause I feel like he will.
Dembele with a nasty goal tbf
>>153825202>forgot to thank his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christit's over
>>153825178Embrace being the villains and get Cucaracha

Ummm Bodo/Glimt looking scary bros.
>>153825470See >>153825041

>>153825465I hope this puts a dagger in their confidence and lose to west ham while forest beat fulham and liverpool beat spurs
>>153825178Garnacho. It was written in the stars.
I have a theory that Arteta is deliberately shithousing so we maintain >our position in all comps until the league cup final. Then once >we beat City in the final, it will release an enormous amount of pressure and >we will start battering everything in >our path across all competitions.
>>153825470their technical liquidball will stagnate against stinky terrorball
89 - Kai Havertz’s penalty, timed at 88 minutes and 33 seconds, was Arsenal’s latest penalty goal in a major European game since Nicklas Bendtner scored v FC Porto in March 2010 (90:26). Pressure.
>>153825470They play like Liverpool under Klopp. Just throw players forward and try to make the most threatening pass all the time. The absolute opposite of Arteta-ball.
>>153824989Hes playing libero. He was all over the place these games. Him missing some sitters is whatever, so did they all. Hes stirring the murk, hes airing out the stank. Hes making himself open, he moves his ass around.
That dumb ref giving a yellow to zubi means he's 1 yellow away from a 2 match ban
We play the most terroristic brand of football imaginable
Please make saka the 3rd choice RW
>>153826016they were saying this when we broke the club goal scoring record
>>153825934Glad someone else sees it
Cheksea replacing their garbage first choice GK has worked for them so far
A massacre in Madrid.
>>153825934>Him missing some sitters is whatever, so did they all. Hes stirring the murk, hes airing out the stank. Hes making himself open, he moves his ass around.So does Martinelli but he doesn't get even half the grace Trossard does.Mind you, I love Trossard. He's one of my favourite players in the squad. But the last few games he has been downright dreadful. Not just limp like the rest of the attack but actually dreadful. Like Saka today sort of dreadful.
wow a soft pen looking forward to the outrage
Man, it's almost like actually getting to the oppositions box quickly unsettles them and forces them to make mistakes. But that's too risky for Arteta.
cam on shiteh stay in da fookin game
Might end up being the only English team not to lose this week
>>153826145Except that Saka lost the ball today while trying to go past defenders. Trossard has lost the ball by failing to control it. Or failing to make simple passes. And that is in the build up phase or in the middle of the pitch.
>>153826223Nvm I just remembered Newcastle drew and chelsea just scored an equaliser too
PSG looking unconvincing in the CL and barely leading ligue un is why there's no excuse to not win trophies this season, all those games played will take a toll next season
>>153826227True. Trossard was being miserable while trying to help the team and Saka was being miserable while trying to help himself.
>>153824262Amazing people and the best time of my life. Even though I got beat up a lot. Spartans might of been on to something
will be hard to progress any further because whoever >we play after Leverkusen (if >we even manage to advance,kek) will be out scoring >us massively.
>>153826298Not really what I was saying. More like Saka being miserable trying to do the difficult part of football while Trossard was being miserable by doing the simple basics.
>>153826296They haven't bring out their secret weapon yet anon (Dro)
>>153826336>Not really what I was saying.No, I know. That was just an additional comment by me. Trossard was definitely worse.
>>153826459Fair enough
Guess todd boehly doesn't know that the goalkeeper is an important position
>Not a single English team wonNot a good look for usWe're essentially the biggest retards on retard pond
>>153826626
>Bodo 3-0I fear the Bodo
>>153826706They are homebabbies but there home ground is a massive advantage
>>153824847:^)
>>153826740How? It looks like there's 200 people there
>>153826856Something something fake grass
Must be nice to have a left winger like kvara instead of drossard and midenelli
>wingers scoring goals must be nice
City will play super open against madrid but will park the bus against >us
>>153826879>>153826887Stop it. You know wingers are used for passes and only passes.
>LelseaLol who started this meme of ball playing goalkeepers? I'm telling you that it's the dumbest thing about modern football
>>153826879Trossard has more league goals and Martinelli more goals total this season (and in their careers) than Kvaratskhelia
>>153826897>will park the bus against >usThey might if they score a goal. But they'll be open before it but because of how fucking moronically slow >we are in the attacking phase, they'll have 10 men behind the ball before >we even get into the final third. A counter attack would take a minimum of 90 seconds.
enzo attacking ballboys lmao
>>153827003And Kvara took that personally

>>153826945It looks funny when it doesn't work. Just like parking the bus, high press, crossing, dribbling or any other tactical tweak you want your team to play. If it doesn't work you will look silly.

Kvaratskhelia in asap
>>153826706Imagine Norway in the WCHope it brings a spark in Ode and revitalizes his career
>6 EPL teams>not one winSo much for the strongest league in years. At best only Arse and 'pool survive this round.
>>153827127Only 80 mill..That's 2 Maduekes..PSG just snapped him in January....just scooped up the lad
>>153827191It is the strongest leagueEvery other club can rest easy. PSG even postponed a match so they could have a rest on the weekend
>>153827127>>153827246Do you really want to watch a player like Kvara pass sideways 300 times per match under Arteta?
Saka is saving himself for the World Cup.
>>153827318>PSG even postponed a match so they could have a rest on the weekenddiabolical
If we can't get Enrique then let's go get rat cunt. We already fucked up once letting him go to Chelsea, just swallow our pride and not make the same mistake again.
I haven't check the comments ITT. But we can disappointed frens but the tie is not over yet. I wish Arteta though can stop being headstrong and understand the perfect combo was tried and perfected in 2 matches we were scoring goals:Madueke,Gyokeres, Martinelli with Havertz in Odegaard position.
>>153827353I want to see him score bangers in an Arsenal shirt but that's a pipe dream with this manager. Ruined Trossard and turned him into a plumber
>>153827127As much as I want Kvara he'd be too expensive for usQatari money is something else man
chelsea and spurs shat themselves out of the champions league in under 20 minutes. damn it feels good to see.
City will now be 100% focused on their league matches. It's literally over.
>>153827449This. Madrid SCREWED us over. They'll play their kids next week
>>153827423Too many forward balls, especially through the middle, for Arteta's liking. Norgaard will pay for his sins.
I think one more loss or two more draws and City are done in the league too. Which I can see happening. Look at their body language. Real Madrid aren’t even that good.The only question is: can Arsenal keep jamming wins?I don’t even care about the CL honestly. let Bodo have it. It’s their time now.
What PR nonsense will Arteta come up with this time?
>>153827191I only care about the Arsenal. Simple as.
>Watch PSG>Lightning passes from defense to midfield to attack>Takes 5 seconds for the ball to go from defense to the box>Watch us>Gabriel takes three touches before passing back to Raya who then passes to Timber who passes to Rice who sends it back to Raya
>>153827541The same as always because people eat it up the same as always. We need to play with more conviction, I am upset, they a are strong side, we need the fans behind us, I am so proud, we looked good, etc, etc.
don’t look at the passing map lads, the biggest horseshoe of death >we’ve had, yet.
Remember this pattern lads:>Ozil a contract extension + more money: plays shit>Aubua a contract extension + more money: plays shit>Nketiah a contract extension + 100k: plays shit>Saka a contract extension + 300k: piss poor.Maybe we should stop giving huge pay rises to our starboys (Nketiah wasn't one) because they play for the money
>>153823696>>153827628Too late lad. It was out before the game was even over lol. 'Grim' doesn't even cut it any more.
>>153827246>>153827353>>153827436don't care drop the 150 milly on him or unserious club
>>153827541>Arteta “we lacked in the final 3rd, a lot of simple things to finish actions and those giveaways allowed them to run in transition… we conceded, but did not make rash decisions and throw away the tie. We improved [with subs] and Noni created the moment to score. We need to give 100% to win the tie!”Essentially saka gets one more chance vs Everton before he gets dropped. But fucking please put kai and gyokeres together. If we're gonna slopball might as well go 442
We don't Kvara though. The only weak spot rn is the left wing position. Either we get Kenan Yildiz for $60 million or we prop up Evan Mooney to be an understudy for a year
>>153827191newcastle going through as well desu
>>153827688>We need to give 100% to win the tie!”Boy it'd be nice to see even half of that on the pitch
>>153827688I fear that Arteta has absolutely ruined >our attack by either destroying the players’ bodies (Ode+Saka) or simply instructing every attacking sense and confidence out of them. At this point >we have to buy a whole new front three and 10. I’m giving Gyökeres the benefit of the doubt since it’s his first season with the club and everyone around him is shit but damn me there is something seriously wrong with the midfield and attack.
They're seething again
>arse quadruple narrative LMAOLMAOLMAOfucking championship teams play better football That’s a FACT
>>153827831>At this point >we have to buy a whole new front three and 10And watch them end up in the same state we see today? I guess it might be good short term but even Gyokeres and Eze are starting to show Arteta-isms
>>153827831Allegedly Carlos cuesta was in charge of offense (joined in 2020) and arteta stupid ass never replaced him after he joined parma.
>>153827860a FACT!!!!shut up loser
>>153827760You could put prime 2013 Messi in this team and he'd look shambolic
>>153827865I don’t know what to say but it’s the only chance we have because Arteta sure as hell won’t leave. Eze and Martinelli being around the edge of the box tonight in good shooting positions and deciding to pass it back because Arteta is obsessed with minimizing risk and control killed me a little inside, I get being pragmatic and having a certain style but you are playing the 6th placed Blundesliga team and not some world class counter attacking specialists in action. Have some faith, shake things up …
>>153827860CryptoJewcastle battled barca gung ho and POCKETED YAMAL btw end to end 95 minutesNo way in hell they will get embarrassed at the nou camp. Beat? Maybe, but will they turn up? I believe so.No way Lego head said go out and get a draw lads our fans spent thousands getting over here but fuk them we have everton next week I need you to draw at home to them too.Fock off out of my sight until the next game
>>153827865starting?? in another life under arteta's tutelage pablo picasso would have switched to painting pic related in under a month
>>153827910Corn syrup brain that’s why you think bombing Iran is good
>>153827940You’re overthinking: we are just dog shit bro.Explain to me how we aren’t. First before you read on.Secondly Arteta is essentially like trump in the sense that saying we are gonna enter some kind of golden age when we play like fucking dog shit and they cause everyone’s bills( and stress levels) to go up for no reason.
>>153827949A slight chuckle was had>>153827940That's the thing though. We'll see these players come in, play brilliantly for about 3 matches, and then we'll start to see the symptoms again. After the match Arteta will be screaming at them. Come December, we'll be seeing the same thing we see today.
>>153827979i think anything that makes little pissants like you angwy is good
really boils my blood seeing that clip where zubi passed the ball backwards instead of passing it to saka, this is arteta's specialty of neutering players, geezer was top 5 in progressive passes last season and now he's been instructed to play it safe so we don't give away transitions
I become a 0.1% more Austrian every time I see this performance from the Arsenal.Entering dangerous ngmi territory
>>153828781dont fall for the meme. i know how you feel but still.. dont
The performance was shocking but a draw away from home in the champions league isn’t a disaster.
>>153828781>I become a 0.1% more Austrian every time I see this performance from the Arsenal.Slowly slowly then all at once
>>153829499I have no friends after covid so I said this to myself at the near start of the game but after watching bayern and then comparing to our shit show I cant hep but thinking we are just super crap and it’s absolutely haram to even consider us for any trophy desu. Every time I come here im filled with optimism but when I see us play i feel like a samurai who has to take his own life for the greater good
>bukrappo on a stickowhat's his problem?
>>153830286eze's reaction and mine were the same
>>153830443Both him and Gyokeres have the exact same reaction lel. They'll get used to it by next season I'm sure.
>>153830286i can't believe am saying this but somehow madueke has been the better winger for a while now compared to shitka. >>153829714we are indeed playing dreadful football but there's still some hope that somehow it will slowly start clicking come the end of the season, which is what we kept lacking the past 3/4 seasons. hopefully somehow, someway we will grow into playing more decisive footy each coming game from now on. of course there's absolutely no indications for this other than my own delusions, but a drowning man latches into a single straw as we say here.
>>153830566Checked I hope we win the league and/ or a cup just for your optimism. Thank you for your service. Stay safe pls
heh, we’re still winning the quadruple
>>153830286getting dusted at 24 is nasty, he only had one big injury as well unlike wilshere
>>153831356You don’t win quads with horseshoes
>>153832154Just remembered that Martinelli had a knee injury when he was like 19 and was out for like half a year. I'm surprised he can still run around like that, thinking about it.
Should start Noni so he'll give the LB hell, breaking past them and putting balls in the centre, then bring Saka on after an hour.
You know we're massive when leverkusen fans are celebrating a draw at their own ground kek
Nihgers
King Kai saves the day
>Ozil>Auba>now SakaIs there any hope for Starboy now he's got his mega contract, or are we all doomed?
>>153833017It's not exclusive to Arsenal, Salah is pretty much dead weight at Liverpool since his mega contract and he's one of their GOATs.
obviously there'll be an official investigation into the events of this season at some point in the future, but do you think there's any chance it could result in arsenal's victory being overturned? (assuming they do go on to finish top of the table by season's end)
.
should have sold saka but they gave him a new contract instead jfl. saka and martinelli both need to go, i don't care if we win the quadrable, they both need to be sold
>>153833017>World Cup and La Liga winner Mesut Ozil>PL and Bundesliga golden boot + African player of the year Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang>Bukrappo "once scored 15 goals in a single year" Suckaone of these is not like the others
The morning after
>>153833128Realistically, it would be near impossible not to sign Saka on for another contract when he's arguably carried the team (at least going forward) for the last few years and is muh Hale Ender. It's too bad that he's probably already peaked. Maybe he can move into the centre and we can get better use of him there?We probably need to sell all of Gabriel, Saliba, Rice, Saka, Kai before they completely die during Arteta's death march. White is already RIP. >>153833355It's true that Auba's great record with Arsenal seems to have been memory holed since he left.
>Arteta>Saka>Ode>White>Cala>Eze>Trossard>Martinelli>knackered Zubinot a big fan right now
>>153828174Which players have come in, looked good for about three matches and then dropped off? Every single signing takes ages to perform well. Or they start well and keep doing well.
If >we play anything like we did yesterday vs Everton it’s game over, they are twice as good as Leverkusen.
I'm a little gutted by the City result, we don't want them to go out so early and play every league game in April and May with no distractions.>>153833690I was surprised how loud you were last night, great effort. Or maybe it's just Leverkusen fans who are really quiet by German standards.
5D chess from Sharteta. Tell all the players to play like shit before the international break, then the NT coaches won't want to play them so they get rested for the final stretch of the season while everyone else plays instead.
>>153833750meanwhile norgaard is rotting on the bench when he was brought in for exactly this situation
>>153833989yeah unfortunately that’s not how it works.>>153834009no clue what Uncle Nurgle has done to Arteta, must be the couple of through balls he pinged to the attacking players whenever he had the chance ..
It's clear as day to see sucka is saving himself for the world cup
>>153834009It's alright Norgaard will be saved. By being sold to buy Goretzka who will take his place on the bench instead.
>>153834214Then he's being a retard then since Bodo is treating this as a training arc for the WC for Norway
>>153834546They don't play football in the Norwegian league during the winter, Bodo Glimt have had the luxury of going all out in the CL then doing fuck all for the rest of the week.
>>153834341>goretzka>tonalitwo midfielders we are linked with and surprise surprise, both are just another workhorse box crashers that can't pass forward, if arteta managed to deter zubimendi from passing forward then imagine what he'd do to those two
so if >we got rid of Arteta right now the quadruple is still on?
>>153834868No, unlikely. But a domestic treble, and reaching semi-finalsfinal of th ucl is.Arteta will get knocked out, exposed and embarassed by Bodo/Glimt, so i much rather be knocked out by a club with a bigger status liek Leverkusen
>>153834862he wouldnt do anything. hed listen. and thats what no one did
>>153834868It would still be on but we would be more unlikely to get itMost manager changes doesn't go the way Carrick has done for Man Utd. We could get a Tudor...
>>153834862It's kinda impressive that Norgaard is still holding strong. The second he gets a chance on the pitch, he's passing forwards. It's no wonder Arteta wants to get rid of him as soon as possible
Luis Enrique is so elite, Arteta would've defended the 2-2 with his life.
well, well, well.
>>153835037but doctor, we did start martinelli
Watching how PSG play and then comparing it to us makes me fill ill...They take a lot of risks but they know that they're good enough to score and win games plus they never stop pressing for 90 minutes and there are no wasted passes...I think they're the most entertaining team to watch in the world
>>153835488yap...chelsea weren't even bad, psg were simply much better
Watching bodo thinking they will absolutely tear us apart new asshole if we scrape past leverkeksenLmao.Oh well at least we are not spurs
>>153835523They are my favorites to win it again besides Real desu
>>153833690>no blacksWhere are you
This quadruple and treble talk has really gotten in some people's heads.In reality, winning the league and a cup is an extraordinary season for >us. Even winning "only" the league is a dream come true.Most of you need to calm the fuck down.
>>153835567Anon. Where did Arsenal play last night?
>>153835523Arteta would have been content with the 2-2. Enrique brought on Kvara and he banged a brace...We've been scamming a lot of results lately and that's why I'm not in any way confident about any trophies. It actually wouldn't surprise me at all if we finished the season trophyless. And that's not cause I'm being a doomer, but because how we play is completely non-threatening. No one fears us. They only fear corners. >>153835564It's either them, Real, or Bayern
>>153835488It sucks knowing that the only thing stopping >us from being that enjoyable is just how slowly >we progress the ball. Every meter forwards requires at least 6 seconds of effort. If >we just moved the ball quickly, like in the first half when Martinelli had that chance, it could have ended in an amazing team goal. But >we don't do that. Like, barely ever. Maybe once every 4 months. Genuinely, if they just moved their asses just a bit more quickly, the games would get three times as fun to watch. But obviously they've been told not to do that because that might end in a risky position and open >us to a counter and whatever.
>>153835578I don’t believe that’s Germany. There isn’t one drug dealer to be seen.It’s too cleanNo stabbersNo nigs.That’s Serbia
Can't believe everyone is suddnely glazing Real after one good half at home to a past-it City.>>153835488>plus they never stop pressing for 90 minutesFairly easy when you're a petro club with unlimited resources, play in Ligue 1 and the league moves games around so you have a week to prepare. Not saying Arteta wouldn't play the horseshow with PSG too, but c'mon.

>>153835902youre an idiot, philpiinnes is an idiot toothe difference is that i'm fuckin smarter than this entire fucken board not just arsenal general you stupid fucksi cant even, i cant even list all the thing sive been right about ,just int he last 2 fukcin months in the epl and soccer in generalno one here, all of you combiend, havent called the fuckin shit ive called in the last 2 months, in your entire fukcing livespattern recognition: ELITE
I remember watching this game and thinking Arsenal was transcendent this season, why are they playing like shit for the past few months? Injuries/fatigue?
>>153836012Merino was playing up front.
>>153836012Just as I saidEveryone was imploding during this timeNow that everything has stabilized it has been clear that we're just extremely lucky
>>153836012It was the peak of the season unironicallyWe never topped that performance.It was like Lego head saw out capability and shackled us to a mountain where a bird eats our liver every game and then it grows back every 3days only to be eaten again during the next match
>>153835605I'm convinced that our defense isn't all that great, it's the fact that our style of play is meant to minimize any sort of risk taking whatsoever, the winger is not allowed to take risks, the central midfielders are really just inverted center backs...Gyokeres has had multiple matches with 0 shots, not even on target, but just 0 shots in general
>>153836093Why do we play better with a no striker
>>153835902Philippines just because he makes me laugh because of how utterly shameless he is. Croatia is trying too hard and it isn't funny. It's just cringe. But Philippines reminds me of that Indian Ramsdalefag that would go through some severe mental gymnastics to try and shit on Raya while also praising Ramsdale. That's just funny. Obviously they both suck.
>>153836215>I'm convinced that our defense isn't all that great, it's the fact that our style of play is meant to minimize any sort of risk taking whatsoever,Nah, I don't fully agree. I don't think >our defence is godlike or anything but it definitely is pretty damn good. We saw that in the 23/24 season when >we were scoring goals for fun AND not conceding any goals or barely any. If anything, Arteta's obsession with holding back after scoring one goal makes the defence look worse than it is sometimes because all it takes is a good hit. Not a wonder goal like everyone keeps coping but just a good ol' fashioned boot through the ball. Sometimes that's all that it takes to score a goal. Especially when the players don't actually close down potential shot takers because they're all huddled in >our own box.
>>153836372>Croatia is trying too hard and it isn't funny. It's just cringe.I doubt Croatia is even a fan, he just schizo posts in all kinds of threads.
>>153836400I don't think either of them are desu. They're both just attention whores.
>>153836258We do play with a no striker.
>>153836393Nah sorry our defense is above average, but it's not elite. Gabriel and Raya always have at least one bozo moment between them in every game. Saliba is solid but he's also terribly inconsistent. Our wing back situation is getting dire because we over-rely on them inverting a lot, and in 2-3 years Timber won't have any knees whatsoever. Again, no team fears us, Leverkusen weren't afraid yesterday, and to be a truly elite club you have to be feared by your opponents to a certain degree.
>>153836469>no team fears usWell they should probably start doing that because they keep losing to us
Inb4 everyone loses their shit after we draw against everkek
>>153836469>Again, no team fears us, Leverkusen weren't afraid yesterday, and to be a truly elite club you have to be feared by your opponents to a certain degree.That's entirely because of >our limp dick attack though. >We've somehow managed to score 100 goals this season, one of three clubs in Europe I think?, but I don't think a single person on the planet will tell you that >we've got an amazing attack. People aren't afraid because they know more often than not, after scoring one goal, >we'll just sit back in >our own half and roll out the red carpet for them so all they have to do is not do anything incredibly retarded and just wait for all the second balls to go directly to them because no one is chasing after them and just take pot shots from here and there. Gabriel, Raya, and Saliba can be 100% perfect but still get caught out by a shitty deflection or just a good goal. It happens because that's football.
i invite you all to ponder over the fact we win all these crucial four games by the finest of margins where we shithouse a goal from a set piece/dodgy var call/own goal(s).
>>153836542fuck messed up the pic rel what a fucken retard i am can't even execute a simple post on 4channel.com fuck sakes
>>153836542>>153836546Goes to show you just how fine those margins are
>>153836532At least it's not a retarded midday kickoff, so I hold out more hope.
the mickey mouse final is in 10 days... time flies holy shit..
>>153837092Weare goingto LOSE
>>153836539>>153836469I also think we have a very good defence. Going back a few years we defended much better as a team. Everyone defended their space and it was almost impossible to pass through us. When we won the ball we actually kept possession and pushed the opposition back into their box which made it easy for our defenders to instantly win it back whenever we failed an attack.Nowadays we can't keep possession and can't get the ball up to the horse shoe with everyone in the opposition behind the ball. Which means we lose the ball in the buildup and our players aren't in correct defensive positions which makes our defence seem worse. Our wingers and midfielders also need to run more (up and down) which makes us less solid in defence the longer the game goes.I just don't think our midfield is working in the build-up anymore. Rice and Zubimendi are good players but they are not playing together at all. Same with Eze.
>>153837509>we can't keep possessionDon't want to keep it is more true I think. If >we wanted to keep it, >we'd just do the same thing >we do before scoring a goal. They usually have everyone behind the ball before >we score too, on account of it taking 3 business days for a fucking attack to form. But as soon as that ball goes in, in so many games, there's a night and day difference in carrying out the rest of the match. >We start sitting back and putting 11 men behind the ball >ourselves. >We start booting the ball up field even though no one is there and no is even going to bother making a run for it. >We start camping >our own box and invite like 10 shots from outside the box.Which, and I've said it like a dozen times before but I'll say it again cause it was so fucking infuriating, is what made that home game against Livershit so fucking rage worthy. They had jack fucking diddly in 45 minutes and >we decided to go out there in the second half to preseve a draw.
>>153837509The issue stems from sharteta playing most of these players out of position, it should also be alarming that most of the attackers have regressed under him...
Is there a possibility of us playing any good football before the season finishes or not
>>153837157Flipanon turn your vpn off
>>153837509>Nowadays we can't keep possessionWe play every game with 10 men so what do you expect
Arsenal have held initial talks with RB Leipzig over a possible deal for defender Castello Lukeba.While Arsenal are well stocked in this position of the pitch, the club is doing its due diligence to find the next cog to their defensive unit.The 23-year-old has a contract with Leipzig until 2029, while the Bundesliga club values his transfer at around €60M.(Source: @lequipe)
>>153838675I’m not sure which player you’re talking about, there’s multiple options
Which Arsenal player has the lowest "football IQ"?
>>153838753I genuinely don't think Jesus knows how offsides work so I'll go with Jesus

>>153838944>offsidesNo guesses as to who has the lowest IQ in /arse/ though
Quad or bust.Simple as.Reckon the season ender will come earlier than the 22 March I predicted. If Fagteta and the lads keep the stinky performance up for the second leg against Neverkusen, since >We playing them on the 17th, innit.
>>153839349What can I say? I'm a believer
>>153838126Sure, when merino comes back.
Where did it all go wrong for Saka?
>>153839634probably his hammy. hes still great tho
>>153839634When we signed Gyokeres.
>>153836532I have a feeling arteta miiiigght take the handbrake off for this game
>>153838126I think the team needs to lose a game to get their heads screwed on again. Literally cannot make simple passes right now, but not being punished for it.
It’s not very enjoyable watching this team. We have a final soon and if this Lego faggot thinks we can just negative ball our way through against shitty then he will have a shock. >Inb4 sweden punishes me again for abusing the manager.There’s no continuity between midfield and attack. We are toothless apart from the first 10 minutes when we try and play a little bit before retreating into our shell.We didnt even deserve a draw yesterday. Although in the grand scheme of things the result isn’t bad. I just want more in terms of performance.We are pretty embarrassing desu.On to Everton next who hasn’t lost away since December. >won 4 from the last 6 away games, drawing 2
>>153839769I agree>>153839760I fucking hope so.
>>153839769>>153839834you fucking faggots and your retarded hot takes... Jesus Christ....
>>153839834We dont do simple shit that needs to be done. Saka gets the ball, 3 on him, timber is open gets the ball, doesnt cross, doesnt through it to the post doesnt move forward to fet into the box, lays it off to rice, rice moves right to left, no one moves around for a square ball cos there is nobody gyok is man marked by 2, lays it off for eze zubi, lay it off for martinelli he buries his face into the ground and tries to beat his man, gets dispossesed on the outside if goes inside recycles back to defense. Thats all we did. For 70 minutes. If they low block cross the ball, fuckin learn some damn low block tactics ffs, we scored how many own goals like this? Weve been dealing with low blocks all season long and they still act like its the first one theyve seen. Weve got 10 coaches ffs. We even have a throw in coach.
Aubameyang and Emi Martinez are the only reason Arteta has a trophy. We will get exposed by any team in a final because none of our players have the big game mentality to turn up, like they did.
>>153823460test
>>153839873That’s objectively looking at the team lad. Yes we can defend and are strong generally but going forward we are trash. No individual quality except for noni who is no brains all legs typical black winger. Eze is ruined. Saka is shot. Tross seems to have mentally died and martinelli is just very inconsistent. Gyok struggles to hold the ball up, sometimes not even registering a shot lol. Efags are already coping by saying “we need odegaard back asap” kek.If i was a cunt I’d say some of you are blinded by the love for the badge and the manager and can’t even see the truth when it’s right infront of your face. Every single week.
>>153839908If everyone is healthy this team is capable of winning a really shitty, jammy, heart attack inducing, 1-0 win. Assuming you’re talking about the CL
>>153839891> Weve got 10 coaches ffsKek. You wouldn’t of thought it would you.This low block narrative is annoying too because we constantly allow the opposition to get set back up whilst simply retaining possession and doing nothing. If the tactic is to soak up pressure and sit back at least counter with purpose. The horseshoe possession ball is dead man.What happened to one- two diamonds and dynamism with speed and proper penetration. Really bad.
>>153839634Notice how he's not hugging the touchline, also the fact that he's been ran into the ground like gibraltargaard and shitvertz. Sharteta out
>>153840118pep has blood on his hands, he raped the league playing inverted fullbacks and now every hack possession coach mindlessly copies him
>>153836469>Gabriel and Raya always have at least one bozo moment between them in every gameHave you seen the absolute state of every single team in Europe?I don't think it can get better than this.
>>153839769Already happened against United. After that the Kairat game was good but obviously an abysmal opponent. Chelsea in the cup game which was more of the same shit except in the literal final minute of the game and only because Kai fucking hates Chelsea. The second half of the Leeds game was good but first half was more of the same shit. Sunderland was woeful until Zubi got fucking sick of it and just blooted it. Brentford was fuck awful. Wigan was great. Wolves was unspeakably bad. Sp*ds was shit in the first half because again, doing the same thing as usual but second half was good. Chelsea was awful. Brighton was a defensive masterclass but only because it worked. Mansfield was shit. And now Leverkusen. So 9 wins and 3 draws since United. And exactly 2 "convincing" games against Kairat and Wigan. 3 good second halves against Leeds, Sunderland, and Sp*ds.Tl:dr - A loss won't change a fucking thing. We'll just get more waffling from Arteta with loads of "we'll play with joy and courage and conviction and we need the fans and we can do this and we need to believe and you should get on the fun boat and blah blah blah". The usual shit he always pulls out after a couple of awful results. We might get a couple of wins but unless Southampton are really fucking grim, the best we can hope for is a handful of good halves.
>>153839834>grand scheme of things the result isn’t badThat's the funny thing about the season. Literally everyone is shitting the bed, including >us. But you just can't help but feel >we could do so much better if >we just stopped constantly taking the foot off the gas.
>>153839997fuck me man.. i guess ive been on edge recently. still tho good bait, probably wouldve replied either way
Would you take better attacking play if it meant we had a defensive liability like Zinchenko running around the pitch the entire time? We screamed about that as much as we scream about how boring our play is now.
>>153839634damn, recent times made me forget he actually used to be good
>>153840915Doesn't have to be like that. If they are more direct and make more dangerous runs then you don't need to use every single player in attack. Even if they score 2 then settle back to a less offensive set up without attacking fullbacks, deeper midfield etc. It seems they cannot play offensively at all because when they do try it's still hit and miss. You almost need goals on demand at this level. Go for 15 minutes and almost certainly score without too many risks of counter. With a fast, tall and strong backline you'd expect you could take more risks but even when they do it looks to lack promise.
>gee I wish we could go back to the good old days of 2022 when Bukrappo Sucka was a world class attacker scoring 15 goals in a single year and Arsenal bottled the league
>>153843183Ah, the good old days...
Can any brit anons tell me why Darren Fletcher seems to get so much hate for his TNT commentary?His commentary on the second Kinsky mistake was an absolute gem
>>153839769I was thinking the same after we lost to Man Utd. But nothing improved so no, I don't think a loss will affect anything.
>>153839769ThisThe delusion is getting too highWe need another reality check
An unnamed Premier League executive: “Arsenal are like a python. They squeeze the life out of you. It’s strangulating. They play this very constricting, incredibly effective brand of football. There’s tremendous respect for Arsenal’s capability.” [@TheAthleticFC]
>if you lose, you winNow I know why you guys aren't EPL managers.
>>153845460>he’s take is so retarded that he chose to remain unnamed
>>153845460>incredibly effective brand of footballDamn even the Prem executives are big retardsRelying on other's mistakes is never an effective brand of football
>top of the league>not effectivepick one
>>153845636I mean, it literally is effective though. Only three losses this season, top of the league and still in all 4 competitions. It sucks to watch but you can't deny the results. Until it goes sideways of course then we all get to say "told you so".
If we bottle the league, I hope every single rival fan is unrelenting in their mockery of Arteta. City players actively taking the piss as they're walking around the Emptihad with their winners medals around their necks, our opponents chanting "it'll never be you, it'll never be yoooouuuu, Mikel Arteta, it'll never be you", relentless mockery in the media and press. I'll be heartbroken for the club, the fans who have given up so much of their time and money to support it and the players who sacrificed their bodies and about half of their careers to prop up this doomed project who will be caught in the crossfire, but this really needs to be as humiliating as possible for Arteta. He needs to be humbled, brought to heel and made to realise that he is not the genius he thinks he is, that all the silver tongued lies, honeyed words, PR articles from friends in the media and paid off influencers, gimmicks and manipulation can't hide the fact that he's just as mediocre in management as he was in his playing days. Get the fuck out of my club.
>Everton manager David Moyes questions criticism of Arsenal's style of play this season: "I was going to say what criticism? They have done brilliant Arsenal. Mikel [Arteta] has done brilliant. I know they have been runners-up to Manchester City - well there is absolutely no shame in that, with over the last decade, how good Manchester City have been.>"He's done a brilliant, brilliant job at Arsenal. He's got a great team and I think they have probably as big a chance this year of winning the league as they have ever had. They are right in the mix in the Champions League, they've got a League Cup [final coming up], they're in the FA Cup. So I would have to question the people who have been critical, that's for sure." Meanwhile there are "fans" ITT daydreaming about the season falling apart just to have random people making fan of the manager.
>>153845460If this is a statement that is 1.5+ years old I would agree. Now we play every game, no matter competition or opposition, like it is the away tie in the Champions League when away goals mattered.
>>153846486>Meanwhile there are "fans" ITT daydreaming about the season falling apart just to have random people making fun of the manager.Kek
>>153846486I want us to win everything but i also want us to actually play football instead of whatever the fuck you call this right about now
>>153846516Same here, there's nothing wrong with that and obviously you're not part of the group of people I was calling out.
>>153846516this shitty horseshoe bullshit is somewhat bearable if it brings us trophies (very likely to get two this season), did boomers enjoy graham? not really but he was still winning trophies so he was tolerated
>>153846534Graham had league trophies in the bank by the time his Arsenal team became super defensive, and kept picking up cups/trophies after the change in style. Arteta hasn't won shit, that's the problem.Though, if he gets at least the league this season, us contemporary fans will probably grumble but stick with it too.
Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler: “I’ve texted Arteta. I have huge respect for him, one of the top managers in the Premier League”.“I love to see them play and I admire a lot of elements of what they are doing. My comments were nothing personal”.
>>153846567>Arteta hasn't won shiti'm going to play the devil's advocate here, he did win the FA cup (emery and sanllehi's team but still)
>>153846578
>>153846534>very likely to get zero this seasonFTFY
>>153846589Yeah, I know, but it's so long ago it's like ancient history now.>>153846578Cucked.
Wenger In
>>153846633Just take a break from embarrassing yourself please
>>153846486So that's sharteta throwing the game tomorrow and giving moyes 3 points
Arsenal are preparing contract offers for Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka and Borussia Dortmund's Julian Brandt, with the midfield pair set to become free agents at the end of the season.Both have impressive Champions League experience and could be provide the Gunners with the depth they need to continue fighting for multiple trophies each season.(Source: @TEAMtalk)
WE LOVE YOU ARSENAL, WE DOWE LOVE YOU ARSENAL, WE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH ARSENAL WE LOVE YOUUUUUUUUjust failed my pediatrics exam for the second time cause this absolute mong has to fail everyone who takes the exam under him, truly think we need something like the purge in real life to get rid of some of these people.the QUAD is still on btw, i BELIEVE.
>skelly could be sold in the summer
>Bukrappo Sucka could be sold in the summer>...of 2029 to Fulham for 10 million
>>153847107make odefraud part of that deal as well.we need to thin the current squad by about 4-5 players imo, there's alot of mediocrity. we need to become more ruthless.
>>153847020you need to study, the arse can wait
>Arsenal open contract talks with Rice
