Arteta doesn’t have Pep around to expose him so now Arsenal are looking a step above basically everyone except PSG, City (most of the time) and Brighton.

Arsenal are just a park the bus tea,.

>>158447882
It's so cringe when Arsenal fans try and flex losing the CL final, congrats on your loss bro you must be so proud

>>158447882
They got exposed against Bayern's C team, fucking harry kane was able to almost stear bayern to a win if not for the horrible defending by bayern

The premier league simply doesn't have enough big teams anymore, dont get me wrong you can still have your losses to you brightons or brenfords or Bournemouths but its no longer the citypool era or 2022 where you needed like 90+ points to finish 2nd

>>158447882

they're one of the only big teams in this ADHD zoomer football era that cares about defending

liverpool, United, Chelsea, spurs supporters would literally suck a tiny Emirati cock over seeing Arsenal win the league again. and you know what? they deserve it

>beautiful wengerball lost
apparently, the trick is to play like shit.

>>158447882
playing like shit offensively but being the best team in the world at defending. They're playing excellently in defence

playing like shit is the new meta. trying to play well will cost you stupid points

They aren't shit at the back, they're so well drilled and physical at pressing, they win duels like they've got magnets on their feet and their keeper is world class, it's just going forward they're mid, but that's usually good enough to win

>>158447882
Havertz carrying them, he's just dominating the EPL

>>158447882
And their players are so damn bland. Not a single star in the squad. Arsenal fans must buy shirts without a name on the back because the players are so boring.

>>158447882
>Playing like shit makes you win???

>>158447882
Almost like the objective of football is not impressing Americans but winning matches.

They've simply returned to their Boring Boring Arsenal roots. Wenger was an aberration.

>>158456393
I think Odegaard is supposed to be the star of the show

They already lost the moment they allowed Arteta to turn the club into the English Atletico Madrid.

Having a strong defense is more important than having a strong attack in this day and age.

Brazil used to win World Cups by simply outscoring their opponents. Johan Cruyff said that he would rather win 5-4 than 1-0.

That game doesn't exist anymore - how many people remember Lúcio from the 2002 World Cup?

Liverpool may have strongly improved by incorporating Jeremy Jacket and Araújo, but they still haven't done nearly enough to bolster their defense.

Whilst the Liverpool forwards do not have enough firepower as they should have this season, the weakest link is Kerkez.

Whilst Alisson had a brainfart with the Le Play It Out From The Back Maymay -Kerkez failed to track back, failed in his positioning, failed to tackle and a goal was scored.

If Liverpool wants to compete next season, it will be imperitive that Liverpool signs an Araújo-style left back after Tsimikas' contract expires.

This is the way you win the epl if you're not city, they figured out the entire game
I'm proud to be a gooner for life

>>158457711
And there it is.

>>158447882
They're defensively sound, Saliba/Gabriel are the best cb pairing in the world right now.

Capello won the Sire A with the same tactics. Clean sheet + a random skilled player getting a luckskill goal.

Arteta is a retro manager.

>team plays low quality football
>"mysteriously" still manages to win games
>rivals play much higher quality football yet "somehow" lose games
hmmmm..... I wonder.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I really wonder what the reason could be

They'll win the league again and united will go down

Hairline is key!

>>158463967

this, nostalgiafags neglect to remember that most teams played like this in the 90s/00s

>>158465708
No shit teams that couldn't win any other way did this, the teams actually winning shit rarely ever did Barca, United, Madrid, Ajax, Deportivo, Bayern weren't playing like that, nowadays even a lot of the top teams are garbage

>>158448637

You're alright lad

Its not about the tactics being supposedly invincible, it's about finding the right group of players

>>158465491
Man Utd could be saved if City get their punishment of a points deduction this very season, and they go down instead.

>can't score on us
>can't defend our single shot on goal
looks like you simply suck!!
and we don't even score set pieces anymore
cope, seethe, see you at the b2b champions party

>>158463967
This. Sacchi, Capello, Mourinho, Simeone (to name a few) - Arteta's the latest in a long line of elite managers to use this meta. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it - defending is a part of football too.

If your coach looks like Mohammed Atta, you better play the best terroristball.
This is also what you Americans don't understand about football, well, one of many things.
>inb4 but im Mexican
arr rook same
So one of the things you don't understand: If it looks like shit, if the opponent is "better" in every match, if everything tells you that this should lose every match - but instead, it wins, again and again, and it wins trophies that the club could only dream of before, then it's not shit, but it's working properly.
