The Official Arsenal Thread - Part 2

Oh but it does m8. Especially when you're outclassed to the degree he was by Vitihna. It matters a lot.

I couldn't give two shites about his decision to play for England (unless I can use it against him to score points).
Oh but it doesn’t m8. If Deccie had to be more defensive due to game state then it does affect his game.

And he’s not the best attacking midfielder anyway and no one on here said he was either.
 
Surprised Arsenal didn’t get a decent attacker in the window.

Wouldn’t have been massively difficult to upgrade on Gyokeres, Martinelli, Trossard.

Rest of the team is extremely solid.

The attack was the weakest aspect last season and doesn’t look any better this.

Madueke, Havertz, Gyokeres aren’t great tbh.

Downan is more of an attacking midfielder than a forward yeah? Like Eze?

Maybe he’s planning on playing these midfielders as wide attackers.

Doubt he’ll be taking the handbrake off anyway. They’ll piss the league either way.
Guimeraes and Konsa were solid, Tzolis we’ll have to wait and see but we’ve gotten rid of 6 attackers and brought 1 in.
It’s absurd and opens the doors to the other teams.

I’m fucking disgusted with the way the attack was addressed.
Fair enough they wanted to raise the roof with a big attacking signing but they messed up Rogers, Vini was always a long shot and Alvarez made it clear he only wanted Barca and he left it be known early too.

I’m not even sure who is to blame between Berta, Arteta or the Kroenkes. I suspect it’s not Arteta but it’s been an absolute clusterfuck.
If we start getting injuries in the attacking areas we are fucked.
 
A piss poor window for our attack. MLS was very badly treated, as was Martinelli.

We didn't get to see our preferred attacking line up last season as someone was always injured and now we've less attackers then at the start of the window.

Madness

What’s the starting 3 in midfield gonna be ye reckon?

Rice, Bruno G, Odegaard?

MLS is brilliant. I’d take him at Liverpool in a heartbeat tbh.

The gk, defence and midfield depth ye have is very good.

Kepa and Meslier.
White, Konsa, Mosquera, Hincapie,
MLS, Zubimendi, Eze, Merino, Dowman

Assuming Saka, Havertz and Madueke are first choice front three then the depth on the wings is just the greek with nelson, martinelli and jesus out the gap and gyokeres back up to havertz.
 
City just spent 1/3bn on their midfield, nobody is walking the league while those cunts are about

A lot of managerial and player churn at chelsea and city. Gonna take a while for it all to settle down.

Arsenal are the finished product structurally. Adding a WC attacker should have been no1 priority.

Liverpool would have been better off with Bruno G with Barcola going to Arsenal.

Arsenal are the strongest in the league from 1-8 but the attacking options haven’t much magic there.

They’re gonna face probably 30+ low blocks in the league this season. It won’t be pretty anyway.

M8, if he's so good he could em, I dunno, do something about the game state. Like getting hold of the ball and passing it around to relieve the pressure. Maybe even, raise the pathetic possession from a measly 25%???

He's a good player, not a great player Bill.

Okay we'll leave it there so.
