  • Odegaard has dropped off compared to last season but to blame him for our attacking woes this season is crazy.

    Having a proper 8 to play through balls won’t help us either. We can have prime Xavi playing for us at the 8, it’s still going to be difficult to unlock teams.

    Every single team is parking a bus against us. That’s essentially what City has been playing against last few years.

    There is a reason they got Haaland to unlock stubborn defense. There is also a reason they rely heavily on wing play to open up space - hence they have invested heavily on wingers over the years - Sane, Sterling, Mahrez, Grealish and now Doku.

    Our wing play relies heavily on Martinelli and Saka to play 1v1 or 1v2 and performing a 9/10 week in week out - not to mention we don’t have anyone nearly as prolific as Haaland for us.

    One of them gets fatigued or a dip in form and our attack becomes slow and stagnant. We need better back ups and competition for those two.






  • The last time the league hated on us so much was the Battle of Old Trafford in regards to that incident between Vieira and Van Nistelrooy.

    Fergie and the English media labeled us as football thugs.

    That spurred us to go undefeated and win the title.

    It’s 2023. Fake news doesn’t just exist in China or North Korea anymore. I’ll stand by this club no matter what - especially when media/social media and news outlets are now mere tools employed by entities to change narratives.

    Come on you Gunners.




  • What Ange has done in his first season - it’s certianly impressive. Forget the PL position and the points - they play good football.

    But Spurs has had a relatively easy schedule so far, and robbed Liverpool thanks to the refs, and drew against us thanks to Jorginho’s brain fart and Rice going down. Also helps playing one game a week.

    Let’s see how they do in the next 6 games.

    Give credit to Ange for improving the team drastically in a short period - but this PL title challenger narrative is just stupid. Horrible take from Wenger.



  • Not the biggest ESR fan so I can’t believe I am saying this - but if ESR doesn’t get a run at Ode’s starting position now I don’t know how he would be able to crack it.

    This is the worst run of form I have seen Odegaard played for us. Too often we see him give the ball to Saka and just remains stagnant and wait for the ball to recycle back to him when Saka doesn’t beat his man. He is so one footed and somehow refuse to make off the ball runs.

    We are screaming for someone that is willing running into space and channels and run with the ball to unlock our stagnant right channel. If Mikel still doesn’t give ESR a run now - either he is just toying with ESR or ESR is just having absolute stinkers in training.
