Hi

 

[Appleyard]

Arsenal have started their annual bottle period in December this year. They need a real striker.

They have a starting 11 to challenge anyone...

but their depth is just not at City or Liverpool's level.

Does not help that Jesus is having his worst season in the Prem in the 8 seasons he has been here. Always scores less than should (incredible skill, IQ movement and physical ability but awful finisher!) but this year is not even creating that much.

Over Prem career?

0.53 G/90
0.62 ExG/90

This year?

0.30 G/90
0.47 ExG/90

Not surprised you guys were okay with giving him and Zinchenko away. Both good players with weaknesses keeping them from being great. I doubt Zinchenko would even be a starter if Timber never got hurt.

Is relying on Kai and Jesus as their number 9 good enough to win a league? Saka is having a down year too. I dont see them scoring enough.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Put Kai at LB. Nasty.

Nobody on the team is creating much right now, except maybe Odegaard when he has a good day.
It's not the players either. This team shouldn't have so much trouble against Fulham and West Ham. The play is too static and Arteta lacks a plan B.
Many fingers point at Saka, but opponents double up on him on a regular basis now and the team is unable to exploit the spaces that should leave.
No urgency, low-risk passing. Not fun to watch against an opponent that knows how to defend.

Pool need to go out and get a clinical finish this window

Diogo Jota. Put Dawrin on the bench.

I think the way Jesus played for City and in first year at Arsenal?
Yes, even with his wastefulness created sooo much that basically a guy who is going to "pace" for 20 goals a season with a good 10 assists too.
That is good enough...

but this year he has not been that guy.

The boys are ready for the restart!

If it makes you happy I put his promo card in the Gullit SBC.

I actually like him a lot. Unfortunately he’s likely leaving this month.

They have to clear the way for Sancho....if he can be bothered to make it to the airport for a medical, that is.

 

[Curufinwe]

Newcastle and Sunderland both wearing their striped shirts is bizarre.

Nah, this was a problem before Sancho. Terzic was doing his best to ruin everything and push out our best guys…

But Sahin might be our savior.

@BigToe - what’s with these dumb Arsenal kits? Did they run out of colored paint? They’re even worse than the Flyers black on black things.

They're the "no more red" kits. Campaign against youth violence.

How martinelli getting dispossessed by an u17 fullback

 

[Curufinwe]

Is this Michael Owen commentating Liv-Ars?

He's annoying.

 

[Halladay]

What a smash and grab . Arteta spending such a large amount of money on Kai should get him sacked.
