>>154446553Bane?
You now remember Aliadiere.
>>154446553what does he do?
Small tweaks in the team.Declan Rice played DM against Atletico. Him and Zubimendi switched places. Which lead to Zubimendi, Ødegaard and Gyökeres combining through the middle (where we usually never attack) for the penalty.When Eze started on the left in earlier games he drifted inwards and played as an extra central midfielder instead of hogging the line. Something Trossard did as well when he came on.
>It is understood that Gabriel Jesus will LEAVE Arsenal this summer.
>>154446553He scores pens.Which is enough for me to keep him starting over shitverz.You can keep talking about how many of his goals are pens etc, but when we get that crucial pen to kill a game or gain an advantage, you want martin odegaard to take it? Or maybe the ""starboy""? Having a guy that scores pens and also the odd goal here and there is not the worst thing, specially in this shitshow of a starting 11 we have.
>>154446666A good thing really, his wages are silly. Also checked.
>>154446553Coventry got better without him
>>154446666Good luck shifting that contract
>>154446849his contract expires iirc
>>1544468592027
Will this general be funnier after Arsenal bottles the Prem or after Arsenal bottles the Champions League?
>>154446866oh shit i thought its this year hence the talk about him going back to brazil months ago..
>>154446849>>154446859Not to worry, there are always deals that mean the selling club contributes to the contract for the next club for the remainder of the current contract! Arsenal shafted themselves once again
>>154446869It will probably be funnier if Arsenal win both. The Arteta outers vs the Arteta INs and then the ABAs going with their mental gymnastics on why Arteta didn't deserve it will be kino. That is the funniest result. Arsenal not winning any of them is just the same as last season and the season before and the season before and the season before and the season before and so on (for a while)
>>154446743>See Arteta. Immediately feel enraged.
Last time we scored more than one goal was leverkek. 17th March >The double is ON GUISE>I AM ON FIRE
I AM ON SO MUCH FIRE GUISEIM DREAMING GUISETHIS IS A GOOD POSITION TO BE IN
>>154446999This. team plays absolute rubbish, sometimes they can't even string 3 passes in a row.>>154446904Still talking abotu double....just accept that it's 0 trophies, again, and pray that someway, somehow Atletico turns it around and goes to the final, because it will be less painfull the gang rape on live tv, if it's Arsenal in the cl finala against either PSG or Bayern, with the pressure on, witht he shit tactics and game plan, with the feeble minded players. It will be brutal. You thought Baku was bad?Just accept, don't delude yourself
>“Julian, Arsenal are interested”>“tell them to fuck off lmao”
Where did it all go wrong?
>>154447386atleti will be the ones saying fuck off
Fraudteta sacked yet?
>>154447231>pray that someway, somehow Atletico turns it around and goes to the finalTrvthnvke
I still haven't recovered from the 2006 final
>>154446553NO REFUNDS
>>154446585scores goals
just imagine getting to the final and shithousing one of PSG or Bayern, the most exciting teams itw, to the trophybased as heck
>>154446629it was clear to everyone 6 months ago that its rice's role and zubigaydi wasnt up for it. zubis place is on the bench praying to god hes subbing rice to relieve him and not cos of injury.
>>154447019
>>154447649>almost 20 years of seething at the black mambai hated that negro for so long cos of it, i finally let it go recently
>>154447678For some reason Opta still has Arsenal as slight favourites (34%), with PSG very closely behind (32%).
my only hopium is now that >out proven worst month is over and one of >our statistically best begins the team will magically improve (they won’t).
oh forget what I said, Ode is injured again.
Good selection.
>Simon Collings] Arsenal and Declan Rice waiting to learn if comments made last night about referee could land midfielder in hot water with UEFA. Also sweating on fitness of Martin Odegaard. He was forced off last night due to knee discomfortTime to buy new midfielders again
Who has more brown fans by proportion Spurs or Arsenal?
>>154448070Ode, Kai, White, Cala and probably Saka,unfortunately need replacements and should be looking to get sold, won’t happen with Sakaand Cala though.Add essential upgrades to Trossard and Martinelli who are equally as important and Jesus leaving and >we are in need of at least 3-4 new players …
>>154448070>Arsenal and Declan Rice waiting to learn if comments made last night about referee could land midfielder in hot water with UEFAshould be fine right?rodri called the PGMOL corrupt and the FA gave him a slap on the wrist :^)
>>154448070>He was forced off last night due to knee discomfortYo someone please SELL THIS MAN In all my life, I've never seen a club captain who gets subbed out as much as him.
>>154447231>Just accept, don't delude yourselfI never claimed Arsenal will win anything. We were just talking about what would be the funniest scenario. Learn to read.I accepted that the league was done when Man City turned it around against Liverpool. The CL is always hard to win and our form is not making it look any likely.
There's still a chance we win the PL & CL.Which means there's still HOPE.
>>154448348I've accepted reality and any trophy will be a thrilling surprise front line needs a complete overhaul in the summer regardless
>>154448363we've made a lot of money this season, despite not winning anything yet, but can we really afford another massive transfer window after last year's? had fuck all outgoings, i get that Jesus is leaving and freeing up a lot of wages but still, there's no way we're getting an Alvarez, Kvara or that kinda profile player
>>154448515>there's no way we're getting an Alvarez, Kvara or that kinda profile playerwho knows? got a proper sporting director now
>JUST IN: Declan Rice is at risk of being sanctioned by UEFA after claiming that Atlético Madrid fans ‘influenced’ the referees’ decision to overturn Eze's penalty. >UEFA will assess the referee’s report before determining whether Rice’s comments questioned the integrity of the officials. It is unclear how long that process will take or whether it could affect this season’s competition.>[@TimesSport via @diarioas]Of course. These random occurrence have only been happening for athleti this season
>Ozil: My stance on the Uighurs cost me my career at Arsenal, but I have no regretshttps://www.thecanary.co/global/2026/04/30/ozil-my-stance/What a dishonest cunt the reason why Arsenal decided to drop him was because he and Guendouzi refused to get a paycut during COVID. Spent his time playing Fortnite too pre COVID rather than play footy. Fuck off man
>>154448680Nah he got snuffed out for his Uyghur stanceSame as the lad got snuffed out for protesting Israel
>>154447795>some reason Opta still has Arsenal as slight favouritesBecause they are bigger favourites to go through than PSG or Bayern, they will be underdogs if they get to the final
>>154448680ozil unironically should kill himself.a complete waste of oxygen, him and all those ottoman larping turks.
>>154448651why on earth would uefa look into something like that? every player says something along those lines when there's a var decision that goes against them..
>>154449084they need to give back hagia sophia
>>154449119No we should nuke the entirety of turkey as a form of cold served revenge for all the atrocities they committed.
>sell everyone and rebuild around Rice and Elliot Andersonthoughts
>>154449469no thanks
Not keeping Ethan around was such a retarded blunder
>>154449638last in a line of a lot of costly decisions that potentially ruined this season.
>>154449638>>154449666explain? would youve put him on yesterday for example? starter or from the bench? would you give him minutes against fulham? i love ethan as much as the next guy but the move wasnt as "retarded" as you make it..
>>154449758Another right wing and attacking mid option when both Saka and Ode were missing time would have been invaluable.
>>154446553He was subbed to save energy to farm GD against fulham. Yes I know artetard will still start havertz anyway but I can have 1% of hope that's the case he was subbed so prematurely
>>154449901Havertz wasn't even on the bench, I doubt he starts even if fit.
>>154449829sure but what happens to merino, eze, madukeke, kai, even dowman? jesus can play on the right, trossard can be an option across the front line. i think the idea was for ethan to play consitently under a 'tactical' manager like de zerbi vs getting 5-10 mins every week or so. and it started well but de zerbi quit and voila now their new manager is publicly thworing ethan uder the bus..
>>154448651Declan Rice was right, ref was scared for his livelihood if he became the enemy of 1000s of rowdy degenerates throwing toilet paper on the pitch
>>154449967There was still room for him, especially with Madueke and Trossard on such poor form. Bringing up Jesus is absolutely laughable as he should never see the pitch in an Arsenal shirt again. Depth has killed them in some way pretty much every year recently and here is a player who was actually incredibly productive down the stretch in one of those years loaned away.
>>154450012Simeone could have been sent off during the VAR review. A player certainly would have for the same action.
>>154450018>There was still room for him, especially with Madueke and Trossard on such poor formnot sure about that - even now with a couple injuries mikel still might have to exclude a couple of senior players from the squad.>Bringing up Jesus is absolutely laughable as he should never see the pitch in an Arsenal shirt againi have mixed feelings about that one so i guess you have a point but unless you absolutely insist on having a conversation - lets agree to disagree>Depth has killed them in some way pretty much every year recentlylack of depth is whats killed our dreams for the past 4 years. unless youre saying the same thing? like i dont know if you mean depth has killed the progress of players (a la MLS) or lack of depth has killed our chances>incredibly productivenot in particular. like i get what youre getting at but a goal against bolton in the milk cup and then doing jack in the prem v burnley... i wouldnt call that incedibly productive. then you have to consider the player and what he wants and his family/agent whispering in his ear and whats best for him long term etc. and the lad is what 17 now?
>>154450084I meant that lack of depth is what killed them these 4 years. Another option is never a bad thing and if Jesus or 23 games without a goal Trossard don't make the bench then so be it. Arteta is already content to let Norgaard miss games entirely while running Rice and Zubimendi into early graves.Nwaneri's form at the tail end of last year deserved more of a look this year even if that was the worst of these title challenges. Hindsight is 20/20 so we can just pick and choose which mistake matters in regards to any particular thing. I've liked Badueke's play at times despite his lack of end product but buying him was the thing that killed Nwaneri's chances.
>kneeinjurydegaard
>>154450146All these injuries have made him a coward. Be lucky to recoup the cost from a continental team at this point.
What is to be done about saka? Speaking from le corporate football decision. Off course I'd have him leave via firing squad.He's completely fallen off and is constantly getting injured. Considing the wage he takes up he is possibly the worst player of the season. Maybe jesus rivals him in that regard. Of course, according to the corporate football rules, he needs to be given another season which is retarded yes but apparently that's just how things are done. If it's a repeat next season, which is such a risk in the first place, surely he leaves. Zero justification to keep him around.
its Dowman a mata of time
It's time. Fulham are not ready.
>>154450376thats depressing/grim or whatever youd like to call it. wait until the season ends please yeah
>>154450442Another season of failed dribbles, instant possession loss and long injuries. But don't worry! He'll randomly show up with a goal and everyone will pretend it's business as usual. Get him gone right now. Star players have off seasons but this is something I've never seen before. Such poor performances means he's unreliable. You can depend nor justify 300k a week on someone who's a roulette wheel.
The only way we beat Fulham is by shithousery but thankfully that's the only way we can play
My thanks for the memories list:JesusSakaShartenelliOdeshaartHavertzMaduekeKepaWhiteDrossardAll unreliable, regardless of artetas nonsense. If the system is shit you should still be able to play simple passes, complete dribbles, be resistant to press. These are all fundamentals you'd need in any system. I do not care about sporadic match winning performance. A lesser player who is more consistent will yield better long term results. A player like that Georgian winger would be great. But he's not necessary. Consistent performers who do the basics is all you'd need. I'd take the likes of Theo Walcott and Sant Cazorla every single time. Arshavin as a key player on 300k a week even.
>>154450550Every time they play in style they look good. Really good. Loss to city was part luck, part Havertz being shit. They conceded a single goal against them. Should've gotten at least 3. I'd love to see them play like that against a lesser side. They could get a great result. I remember they smashed Wigan win 30 minutes. Sure it's Wigan but it can be done, no question. So why doesn't arteta try it? They defend counters really well. It's the inviting pressure that seems to be causing the biggest issue. If opponents have no risks by attacking then by God they will. Especially if you're counting around outside your own fucking box.
>>154450609There'll be zero pressing because of how tired the players will be. It'll be a set piece or penalty 1-0 win while riding some luck and also losing at least 1 player to injury. I've already resigned to the fact the end of the season is going to be the most painful grind in history.
>>154450635If its because of tiredness then next season will be fun considering the world cup. No rest for rice. By the end of it they'll be forced to field 8 u23 players for until January. Actually looks good for united next season because they've player fuck all games this year. Feeling 5th place finish next year for arsenal.
>>154450657World cup affects everyone though. At least for the top clubs.
>>154450487thats not a...aaa what word am i looking for? healthy? nah maybe not tht but fuck it... thats not a healthy was of looking at. you the same brit that i exchanged a post or 2 about big vik? saka will have his part to play i promise you
>>154450711Indeed, but more so those already coming in with fatigue. Team looks fucked compared to every other team. They need a rest more than anyone.
>>154450907>thats not a healthy was of looking at.thats not a healthy way of looking at it. i should probably go to bed hah
>PSG scouting Martinelliif we can get a good fee for him do it. although it is telling Luis Enrique feels there is a really good player in there to splash the cash on. probably would be a Dembele backup since they already have Barcola and other backups on the wings.
>>154448348
UPDATE: Fulham manager Marco Silva has confirmed key injury setbacks ahead of the clash with Arsenal.Ryan Sessegnon, Alex Iwobi and Kevin are all ruled out for the Emirates trip.There is a boost, however, with Kenny Tete expected to return to the matchday squad after injury.The update was reported by The Standard as Fulham aim to dent Arsenal’s title hopes.
>martinelliHe will absolutely do well abroad. Mark my words he will go on to be prolific on the continent. As said above there are a heap of players who aren’t good enough and should be sold but as a whole the system is dead and everyone looks shit. They all look bang average apart from raya and at this moment hincapie although you could argue even he shackles our left side because he’s not even a lb.Dead team with a disgusting lying Lego manager with shit tactics.We need to pamp fulham hard but we know that’s not going to happen is it because we go one nil up and invite pressure for the remainder of the game.
>I was at Arsenal's game against Atletico for Radio 5 Live in midweek, and they were mugged in Madrid by referee Danny Makkelie. Some dodgy Dutch decisions have cost them, and let's hope they don't pay the penalty in next week's second leg of their Champions League semi-final because they should really be taking a lead back to Emirates Stadium.Even Chris Sutton agrees.
>>154450609>I'd love to see them play like that against a lesser side.They way they did against City? Fulham won't push up and allow themselves to be counter attacked like City so it's just be a stalemate
>>154457162Atletico created far more chances and were the better side.
>>154457370They should have converted those chances then.
>>154457379True. Just saying that a draw from that game is a good result.
just seen another angle of the Eze dive
>>154456597Gnabry. Szeczney. Coquelin. Xhaka. Giroud. Nasri. Clichy.Martinelli would be added to that list of players who did better away from arsenal, event though they were generally poor or didn't show that potential here. Giroud was painful. Gnabry I don't think anyone really saw potential in so it's whatever. I can see martinelli running rampant despite failing simple passes at arsenal. He's a good play on occasions there's no doubt. But like every other fuck in the team, he can't do it on a weekly basis.
>>154457162Even Jamie O'Hara agrees.
>>154457370Second half they were amazing for that spell before we crawled back into it.Really good. Haram wat?Props can be given how we hung on and defended I guess. By the time we started to try and play it was pretty much all over
>Gabriel jesusI thought he was like 32 or 33. He's 29. He should be in his prime as a striker. What the actual fuck. Apparently juve and AC milan are interested. 35 million is being thrown around. Snap their hands off for that. Raw sewage of a player.
>>154457810Iwobi would walk into the Arsenal team today

We need to bring wenger back
>>154457976>forgetting the opening day when Miguel Sharteta's Arsenal were overrun by the worst Man United side in 5 decades
>>154457954And tomorrow he'll be just as shit as the rest of them.

>>154459496what if we just borrowed jurrien twin in this dire situation? i can NOT take another ben shite shitshow
>>154458051Fuck off. I rather have George Graham then. Doesn't matter that he coached spurs.He knows how to make an omelete without eggs.
Arteta outCesc intime to bury the hatchet
Mikel Arteta is hopeful that Kai Havertz will be fit to face Atletico Madrid in Tuesday’s 2nd leg: "He's pushing every boundary."Havertz & Timber out for Fulham, Odegaard TBD.@TheAthleticFC
>>154457886Jeez yeah I thought he was at least 30 as well. Goes to show, BEWARE of overhyped black players. They peak around 22-24 then it’s OVER. Honestly Buyern will probably fleece PSG, RM, or City for Olise then same shit will happen. Drastic drop off in form and quality. Happening to Saka right now. Don’t know what it is. If I were a lower level team I’d buy only white and Latino players purely for their shelf life.

>>154460093Almunia was the first player I really hated seeing on the teamsheet week in and week out. Then loaning out and selling Szczęsny only to buy fucking Cech near the end. The conversation now is only how arsenal fans were too mean when they wanted Wenger out but ignore all the extremely atrocious squad decisions he made later on. Wry pickups like Sanchez and Ozil showed he still had it but the defense and goaltending blunders can't be handwaved away with stadium debt and ownership change timeline alone.

>>154459598IIRC van persie has been a cunt to his brother. Removed his captaincy and threw him under the bus at every turn while protecting his guys. Could be a good physical midfielder but I don't watch Dutch league to know more.
>>154459920They're fickle. They grind, get success, enjoy success then live off their achievements. They become arrogant and lazy because they're rich and successful. Pogba is a prime example. Contrast between players like milner and these black players is crazy. Of course it's not every single one. But they're luxury players. Good luck fighting relegation with a team of black players. Leicester and spurs are learning that. Imagine Eze in a relegation battle. He laughs off his mistakes all the time. He'd shut down.
get rid of this "captain" asap before he spreads the disease further.
