How many times do we need the exact same ‘Arsenal are more defensive and this makes them more likely to win the title’ article from every journalistic source?

Why does someone feel the need to post this on virtually every similar thread on this sub?

West Ham - Arsenal: 1-2

Newcastle - Arsenal: 1-1

Arsenal - Sevilla: 2-1

Arsenal - Burnley: 4-1

Brentford - Arsenal: 1-3

Arsenal - Lens: 2-0

If you think he’s the best in the world then there shouldn’t be any you would pick over him lol

If that game had been even slightly decently refereed, Liverpool would be on top. Not us.

Which was what exactly? 2 of the 5 goal contributions were penalties.

Bayern are able to get penalties too, you know

Kane’s got 4 goals and an assist in games against us when Gabriel plays

This is said as someone who was Wenger In until the very end.

The two big innovations Wenger helped champion in English football were improved fitness and nutritional standards, and a ‘continental’ style of football that emphasized individual expression and creativity. This is responsible for Arsenal being synonymous with the beautiful free flowing football we are now associated with, as opposed to the boring orcish pragmatism we employed in the past.

It also meant that once other clubs caught up off the pitch fitness-wise, and more non-British managers came in bringing better ‘systems’, Wenger’s edge was no longer the difference maker, and we were finding ourselves regularly outmuscled by the weaker teams and outplayed by the stronger ones.

Wenger also deeply pushed for a ‘family’ dynamic within the club, getting personally involved with the academy and assigning far too much meaning on the young players coming up through the ranks. It meant that we constantly had exciting young players breaking into the team seemingly every year, but it also meant there was too much emotion placed in player dynamics. Players like Cole, Nasri, RvP pissed him off, but Cesc leaving seemed to break him. It also meant he was frequently taken advantage of by the grifters and perennially crocked towards the end of his career, and we found the squad bloated out with players he was too nice to sell and the injury room stacked full of futile talent that he was too invested in to move on.

Chelsea would be up around 5th or 6th if Chilwell and James were fit the entire season.

I agree, but him being available only half of the time has lowered him a bit

Actually a great goal from Forest

He reminds me a lot of Martinelli under Emery/early Arteta, minus the heading ability.

Reece James and Kyle Walker are both on his level, if not a touch better

Having Neto means we can rest Saka without needing to play one of our strikers out wide. Likewise if - and when - one of Saka and Martinelli go down with a knock, we can play him and free up someone like Trossard for tactical flexibility.
