@OpsHQs Black men suffer from shaving rashes, a razor blade was most likely used to shave him and that’s his reaction coupled with the heat and sweat! For me this is the most likely answer 🤷🏾♂️
I was very shocked to hear the commentators blame Spencer for the goal as we were lobsided and RCB was too far over the left hand side and left @DjedSpence wot 2 players to mark, he did well in his attempt but was unlucky. He was our best attacker in the 1st half.
If @England are to be successful in transition then they need more fluidity from their wingers then we need them to swap sides during the game so if we want to cross it’s on their strongest foot, all of the weaker foot crosses never made it to our players.
Ian Wright on Arsenal being linked with Julián Álvarez despite having Viktor Gyökeres:
🗣️ “I'll be honest, I don't understand it. What exactly do Arsenal want Julián Álvarez for when you've already got Viktor Gyökeres leading the line and firing you to a league title?”
“Football clubs spend years searching for a striker who can carry the pressure, deliver goals every week, and make the difference in the biggest moments. If Gyökeres has just done that and helped bring the league back to Arsenal, why are we suddenly acting like he's not enough?”
“Álvarez is a fantastic player, don't get me wrong. I'd take him in almost any team in the world. But we're talking about a player whose value is through the roof. Do people seriously think his club are going to let him leave for a normal fee?”
“If Arsenal knock on the door for Álvarez, the first thing they'll hear is a number so big it might make them hang up the phone. We're talking about one of the most complete forwards in world football.”
“In today's market, if you're trying to take a player like that away from a top club, you might as well be preparing a bid worth €500 million because that's how impossible the deal feels.”
“Sometimes football fans become obsessed with collecting stars instead of asking what the team actually needs. Arsenal don't need another headline. They need to trust the striker who is already delivering for them.”
“If Gyökeres has just won you the league and is scoring goals for fun, then surely the priority should be building around him, not spending a fortune chasing another superstar.”
“From where I'm sitting, Arsenal should be celebrating the striker they've got... because chasing Álvarez right now feels like trying to fix something that isn't broken.”
🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry quote on a Gyökeres–Álvarez swap deal
🗣️ "If you ask me whether Arsenal should swap Viktor Gyökeres for Julian Álvarez, I understand why people are talking about it. Álvarez is one of the most complete forwards in world football today. He can press, create, score, play between the lines and make everyone around him better. I've said before that I really like his game because he can do almost everything a modern number nine is asked to do."
"But football isn't played on paper. Gyökeres gives Arsenal something different — power, presence, aggression and goals. He's the type of striker defenders hate facing. If you're talking about a straight swap, I'd be very careful because you're not just exchanging players, you're changing the identity of your attack.
"Now, if Arsenal somehow ended up with Álvarez, every fan would be excited because he's a world-class talent. But my question would be: why give away a striker who has already proven he can lead the line for you? Great teams don't always replace quality with quality; sometimes they add quality to quality.
"For me, the dream scenario would be finding a way to have players of that level in the same squad. That's how title-winning teams become dynasty teams. If I were Arteta, I'd think long and hard before letting Gyökeres leave, even for a player as special as Álvarez."
@TheArsenalMind Alvarez has forced two moves and I wouldn’t rule out more. We get him then Barca come in for him then he’ll try & force that move as it’s his dream. Krupi or Godts push martinelli up front (use his pace).
I’m hearing we’re no longer after Alvarez as he dreams of Barca, not sure what he’ll do when they don’t buy him now that he has asked to leave. Viktor showed so much desire to join us that it’d be disrespectful to do anything other than show him loyalty 🤷🏾♂️
