The Arsenal

[_ @_afc0304]

The potential of Myles Lewis-Skelly honestly.

[_ @_afc0304]

Napoli game received a lot of praise for the dominance and people laughed at the truly abysmal finishing but did that game not just highlight how bad Arsenal attack actually is.

Every game will be a tight scoreline due to the inability to finish chances consistently.

[_ @_afc0304]

By the end of this season age of Arsenal midfield 3 options:

Merino - 30
Odegaard - 28
Guimaraes - 29
Zubimendi - 28
Rice - 28
MLS - 20
Eze - 29

One area you do not let grow old together is midfield. Especially in the PL with the amount of running required in this team.

You will hear from some in the media pretty soon that Arsenal will be looking to add in January. Don’t fall for it.

January 2025 we had an injury crisis in the forward line and what did they do?
nothing.

The attack issue or hesitation to sign them has been going for years.

[_ @_afc0304]

On the plus side get Saliba back and timber fit most of the league if not all of them can’t defend so Arssnal should be good with 1-0

[_ @_afc0304]

More of a wider issue than just this weekend.

Because Arsenal forward line is soo average it will be another season of depending on the defence. Demanding.

[_ @_afc0304]

Liverpool haven’t played well but they have an elite forward to bail them out.

City haven’t played well but they have how many forward options all completely different profiles.

Arsenal?

[_ @_afc0304]

Havertz is basically a bad version of Giroud.

Arteta keeps ignoring the attack like we have top forward. Who’s taking madueke in the summer?

Arsenal attack will be their undoing this season. They can’t go toe to toe with even okay forward lines if the defence has an off day.

[_ @_afc0304]

Arteta had depth in defence and midfield but still added two 28yr olds.

Yeah the forward line he didn’t put as. priority.

How many summers have we been waiting for actual game changers in the attack. Not Chelsea rubbish, or random punts on high number weak league attackers?

[_ @_afc0304]

Arsenal won the league due to their defence. 71 goals is pretty dire but the rest of the league didn’t put up great numbers either.

Difference is all of those teams tried to correct this in the summer but one.

Time will tell.

[_ @_afc0304]

GK planted in the middle of the goal. Striker doesn’t even look at the keeper head down and just hits it straight at him. With his weaker foot.

I knew he would miss just a matter of how he would miss.

Good player but just not clinical enough. Like the rest of the forwards.

[_ @_afc0304]

@Gazwthegooner Everyone could see this was going to happen if we didn’t recruit top players in the attack. Arsenal scuffed at prices and will now pay for it. It’s one thing to not like a price but to do absolutely nothing is insane. The attack is woeful.

[_ @_afc0304]

Signings by Arsenal in Arteta reign to play front 3 positions:

Tzolis
Gyokeres
Sterling
Willian
Gabriel Jesus
Trossard
Madueke

Trossard is the only true hit and he was only signed because the club failed to get Mudryk.

7 years 1 good attacking three (LW/RW/ST) signing.

[_ @_afc0304]

Knowing Arteta his next attacking signing will probably be Pedro Neto at about £75m

[_ @_afc0304]

Tzolis isn't better than Trossard.

Summer 2025 he was off to Palace.

Outstanding numbers in a weak league. Like we didn't do this with Gyokeres?

[_ @_afc0304]

Look at brighton attacking performance today and then you look at Arsenal's in general. We are soo poor in front of goal and that isn't just because of the players we see lesser players create different approaches to get in on goal or create a chance, Arsenal attack to a script.

[_ @_afc0304]

I love Saka but average full backs with a bit of pace can now keep him quiet. He lacks that burst he used to have, not calling him average but he just is not the player he used to be. Sad but those early years of Arteta flogging him is catching up with him.

[_ @_afc0304]

Summer window was not that good.

Put a more dynamic midfielder in this team instead we signed yet another slow lethargic only good on the ball type.

The forward line is bordering on disgraceful to just ignore it with the crap options we have.

Deserved defeat. Pathetic.

[_ @_afc0304]

Rice public gestures not fooling anyone, his been as bad as anyone out there. Truly abject, playing it safe, bordering on cowardly midfield play.

[_ @_afc0304]

The way Arteta neglected the attack in the summer he would NEVER do that to the defence.

[_ @_afc0304]

Did anyone think havertz was going to score that chance lol

We have a bunch of absolutely useless forwards, none of them you can bank on finishing. Real average garbarge.

But remember no one other than Tzoils in the whole world of football right? No forwards.
