There are so many ripple effect factors to him starting that goes even beyond his stats. His team mates actively avoid passing him the ball as they know he will lose it. On top of that we create way less with him on the pitch, which makes games against anyone very very tight, which has physical toll

Edu lacked when came to managing upwards, but with this he was fucking right. Biggest ick with Gyok is how weak he is. I mean how can you not be technical and also weak at the same time
I don’t mind strikers missing chances. All the best do. Yeah, it’s sad that he’s been injured/not fit. Gyok is just not levels, someone should the sack for that
Yeah that’s the stakes that makes the difference at this level. I totally see the logic, but can’t compromise with Gyok no more and it’s more or less to late. But we can win the UCL if Kai stay fit and starts every game up front from now on.
They don’t even look for him as they don’t trust him at all. What hell were we thinking. He is the first person I’d sell this summer.
Karma for the disallowed Muani goal I reckon. If we end up losing this title it’s because Mikel missing the mark yet again with not putting Kai upfront earlier. He missed the mark with 3/4 weeks. Can’t believe we went for Gyok. When your own players don’t give you the ball, you must be terrible…
No club have ever hurt us the way City have since they got UAE backing. They built their whole foundation by taking our players. Viera, Sagna, Toure, Clichy, Nasri and Adebayor. I am so disappointed we keep letting them play in our faces. Still games to go but I’m not hopeful at all. Hope I’m wrong
Brother I respect your opinion, but for players like Eze yesterday was the moment we needed him to turn up. Just score bro, everything else is just excuses. These guys need to deliver at the Ethiad away, that is the time to show up. Everything else is just waste of space.
Our top scorer has 9 non pen goals in the prem. We don’t have to look no further than that. Title winning teams always have 20+ attacker in their team. Whatever we do takes you close, but not rocket science you need a goal machine or someone going hot during crunch time.
I hear you bro. I love Eze, but can’t really baby these guys. 70m prem proven 27 y/o must deliver now. That’s the whole point of getting experienced players. Companies hire experience with the belief that they will be up and running quickly, football is no different.
I am afraid moving Kai upfront came 3/4 weeks too late to lift the prem. Yes, Kai is not clinical, but we at least look/feel more fluid and threatening going forward. We haven’t looked threatening for months. Reminds me so much of the time we moved Kai up top instead of Eddie two seasons ago.
I think the reason most of us don’t feel totally depressed is the uptick in perfomence. We felt threatening again. We haven’t felt threatening attacking wise for a very very long time. Beyond the Prem a perfomence like that increases our chance of playing a UCL final come May.
We know with certainty that he don’t get into them positions by now. His own team mates avoids passing him the ball at every opportunity and everyone that ever played football totally understand the reason. Like why the fuck would I willingly pass a guy that will lose it and make me run back
The humiliation we as fans have to take man. How can we always fall short everytime we approach a "must win" game. The amount of times I've said "surely this time we will win".....but nah again. I am so dissapointed. Between the manager and players they are just not killers #arsecastextra
Ethan is super talented, but he lacks intensity. Look at Max, he goes again and again and again. Ethan is finished after 2 or 3 actions at best. Ethan reminds a lot of ESR, very good when on the ball, but most of the game just pass him by.
Oh boy, these guys are just shitting on their own legacy. Rice, Ode, Saka (one Fa-cup as bench player), Saliba, Gabriel, Kai, Leo, Jesus, Raya, White, Timber, Martinelli have not won a single trophy with Arsenal. They are approaching their 4th full season at the club. Fucking losers, including Mikel
Fair enough! 55m is a lot of money. Can't believe we went ahead and got Noni for that sum. I like Noni, he's got the raw attributes, but so did Gervinho and look how that went.
Listen Ethan is talented, but more in the Hutchinson, Harvey Elliot, Mcatee tier than the Max and Rio tier. I would sell him without blinking. Just my opinion.
Should be plenty of interest in him from the likes of Newcastle and Evertons of this world. Just move him on. I'd keep Martinelli and let go Tross. Jesus should be shipped. One of Gyokores and Havertz must also be sold. I'd ship Gyokores as I don't rate the player at all.
I'll be honest, nobody is safe imo. Bar Saka and Max, don't care who else goes, these guys are just not good enough. All season I've had the feeling we are terribly coached when it comes to attacking + we have very poor attacking talent. I don't know if Arteta can coach an attack.
Ethan is very overated by Arsenal fans. He can't even get in the Marsille team, Max is already a way better play imo. With that said, Noni has been a flop and so has Eze and Gyok. These guys are not kids, there is no patience to give. I am so dissapointed.
Yeah, similar fee, but Semenyo has way higher wages. But that is unfortunately the ruthlessness needed to win.
Yeah we don't have a great passer/passers in there. I thought Zubi was going to be that, but he is way more of box2box guy. Adam Wharton would be a great profile for us to pick up.
I mean we are linked with Antony Gordon, good player, but ffs. I love Arteta, but if we end up with nothing again, we probably have to go separate ways. A ruthless club would pick up Xabi Alonso, good tactian but a way less intense personality that this current group might need.
Kai will never be clinical, but he gives us the best platform to achieve anything in the UCL (although my confidence in us doing anything is smashed). Those attacking signings absolutely killed us this summer, no two ways about it. It might even come down to City getting Semenyo and us getting Noni
What makes it worse is that these numbers include all comps. You won’t achieve anything with the talent we have in attack. Our way of recruiting attackers based on their ability to defend just ain’t it, and that is on Arteta and Berta! If we end up with nothing which looks likely, heads must roll.
We’ve been sleepwalking into this capitulation. Brighton away and 10 man Chelsea at the Emirates just before the cup final was narrow wins that easily could end up as draws. We looked shattered already back in Feb against Wolves and Brentford. I am so disappointed in the team and the manager man..
Jesus RW is just fine. You can’t tell me you play Noni ahead of him. Noni has been so underwhelming lately.
Jesus is playing RW Sunday ahead of Noni for me. He looks light again. Kai and Eze plays up top. I’d go for Martinelli again to stretch City. Would love Calafiori, but otherwise Hincapie is just fine. And finally William Saliba, what a fucking player man.
Real Madrid finished outside of the Top 8, so they arguably went out exactly where they supposed to go out. Arsenal won the league stage, hence why 0–0 is enough against Sporting at home. Let’s not compare apples and pears here (not saying you are, but anyone that even thinks like this)
