People shouldn’t take Messi’s explosion as a natural progression.
Started off as the best dribbler itw, became the best finisher itw and then the best playmaker itw. I don’t think we’ll ever see someone evolve their game like that ever again
This has been a season of regression in the league I’m sorry to say. Even with the context against us, there’s no reason why after all the money we’ve spent on ‘raising the floor’ we should be on par with the 21/22 team across a league campaign (actually performing worse)
D Every single time to absolve the manager of blame, the players must do better, execute better, score every single chance, make no mistakes always etc etc
our players need to stop trying to hype up the crowd when they are playing like shit. It’s so infuriating seeing them do that then continue to do nothing after the crowd gets up. Couldn’t imagine being in the stadium seeing that, would make me wanna invade the pitch
Need a Madrid away game on Wednesday, can’t be having only a few players stand up on the day. I already know who’s gunna turn up and give it their all but I need more, can’t just be a selective few.
It’s been clear since his debut that he’s a Galactico. He’s also an Arsenal fan who said that he wants to win big honours here so the fans don’t forget him. I don’t think there’s danger of losing him this summer, but we have to show ambition and win big or the move is inevitable.
If we win, something has to be said ab our league form affecting our champions league run in a positive way. Cuz I can’t understand for the life of me how we stink so bad in the league but play much better in the champs
First and second phase Odegaard is the best Odegaard, not high and close to goal.
I think the problem is that Arteta doesn't consider him robust enough to play with Rice in a double pivot with a real 10 in front.
We need a player like him. 100 percent. But the role and the profile is a quintessential supporting cast role (similar to Doku, Diaz etc) unless you’re going Rodrygo, Vinicius and that bracket.
Problem is thinking this + a striker alone wins us the league.
LW market is really dead this summer for ready made options. Leao and Rodrygo two names I hear a lot, are either even available. Rodrygo isn’t a width holder and can Leao commit defensively?
Barcola another name but again is he even available? Would cost a lot if he was
Arteta has always done this - trying to mould players and demand things of them that they’re not capable of doing - if you want a certain thing, recruit properly. Or if not, adapt to what you have - you can’t halfway house this all
