And for good luck, here’s the video of the @FrenchTeam defenders laughing at the thought of defending against him in 1998. As chosen by @elisjames on this week’s @distantpod.
In 2021 I have been quietly working on a new book which is now complete. To say I am delighted with it would be an understatement & more so because the project has been backed by @arsenal
As you can see the title is the club's Inclusivity & diversity mantra on the 21/22 shirts
Today I was reminded of the US comic book, John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction #2. The cover artist has obviously looked for photo reference of a middle-aged man to draw into a zombie but has unwittingly found a photo of Arsene Wenger instead.
Arteta is so far out of his depth, it's frightening! Wonder what the odds are for Tots winning the league and Arsenal getting relegated. Absolute nightmare scenario but doesn't seem beyond the realms of reality this season
Here it is! All Messi Assists for Barca.
I told you it will be a busy map! :D
Still, I made no shortcuts - every Assist was plotted - from first to last one!
@Vinay_R More than system the best players first need to be there.. I'd have aubameyang, Pepe, and ozil as first three names.. then build around it.. probably a 433 or a 4231..
The manager's biggest responsibility is to find a system that gets the best out of squad he has. Not try to squeeze the squad into system he likes best. Arsenal have a better squad than the likes of Villa, Southampton and others. Performances and results should be much better
The biggest problem that Arteta doesn't seem to notice is the abject lack of technical quality in the attacking areas. He makes it worse by playing his only two midfielders deep and wide. Big hole in front of opp box where Arsenal have no presence/control
@Digvijay_AFC Hard to say... Arsenal don't have players with great clout... Given the way ozil has been treated... This might be different... Hard one to be sure of
Another big worry is that his learning curve seems very flat... For instance, keeps persisting with Laca centrally and now Nketiah... That's like handicapping your own team before the game even begins. I've not felt Arsenal are playing 11v11 even without the red cards.
