Seeing think pieces of who Arsenal prefers to play in the final. Let me remind you, One conceded 5 goals, the other conceded 4. I understand context matters but if any of these teams let Arsenal score first, That tie is DONE!
A coach as smart as Arteta, as desperate to win as Arteta, will not keep playing a player that Arsenal fans think is holding us back.
Starting every game means he's doing something right.
Look at my 9 dawg, an intelligent player will be attacking the space in between the left back and center back, my mans stood in between VVD and Konate, is this WWE? Need Havertz back ASAP. Lord knows he isn’t perfect but at least he’s not devoid of basic football concepts.
Of course #14 pumped faked y’all with his 100 goal season. Gyokeres at sporting is like playing FIFA against AI with the difficulty set to semi pro, while at Arsenal, the difficulty is Legendary. Good luck to us. Price tag makes it harder to drop him from the lineup too. 😪
I remember when some fans were comparing Cole Palmer to Saka, when Martin Odegaard is the one who Palmer would easily replace if he played for Arsenal.
@notoctavian_ If you have to wait till opposition is settled in a low block to create chances OR you’re only very good in certain spaces you’re not a pure 10, certainly not one good enough to be considered the “Primary Creator” for Arsenal.
@nonewthing It’s a testament of Arteta’s brilliance. The standard is so high thanks to him. What they fail to realize is, Arteta has the highest standards for himself and his team, not us fans.
They told me Martin Odegard is the system, which one, Windows 98? To think some clueless people believe he’s the best player of this team, if that’s true, we will NEVER win anything.
Some clueless people want Jesus to start over havertz im this game yunno, despite wasting several chances against Monaco. Havertz is our CF, get on the program or leave the group chat. 🤝
Sad about the result. On the other hand, at least maybe people will be honest about Odegard not being an elite creator. 90% of his contributions is just Pass to Saka and insha allah. Nothing world class about that IMO.
This is the best player we have and it’s not even close. Certain low IQ people are blinded by aesthetics and 4 yard passes. We know better over here. Saka is Arsenal’s main man. End of discussion.
Odegard has played in 2/3 of our last games at saint james park, we lost both those games, so the idea that he somehow would have made a difference is ridiculous to me. Arteta was out coached today and that’s okay as long as he learns from it
Can’t fathom how you’ll watch that match and say “Not having Odegard cost us”. If a coach can’t setup to win or at least put up a performance against a struggling Newcastle, it’s on him. He has hampered the team because he built it around a tier-2 creator + poor transfer window.
