I love watching the demise of Man United. I hope the suffering continues

This is exactly what we should do as fans btw.

Not making fail comps and running agendas
Players are humans too.

Gyokeres haters 🤝 Andre Berta haters 🤝 Eze haters
Are all the same people
😂
They all have the same thing in common = managerial worship & stanship

[Machiavelli @OmonibekeP26371]

As much as Arteta has been brilliant but you would be a liar if you can't see that his pattern of play is limiting our forward players from achieving their full potential

But we are winning so every sacrifice is worth it
non of our attackers is dropping 15 goals this season 💯

@Sean_B_taketwo My TL is now all about the Gyokeres Havertz civil war

Why does Twitter’s algorithm assume that if I like ONE tweet about something I would surely enjoy my entire feed immediately becoming about that?

[Peanut_Vendor @ruonnny]

@QuantK22 Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅

[Peanut_Vendor @ruonnny]

@gunnersjaden @Nicolas5x When have we had a striker score 15 league goals since Arteta took over? Or anyone? Are you seriously defending a system that has never profiled any of our forwards? Even spain who play a similar system have a focus ours appears to be Saka or bust.

@Afc_Nels20 🤣🤣🤣

[NepentheZ @NepentheZ]

Yeah, it appears he's not the guy... but that's not a slight on him. That's due to how Arsenal play and the kinds of low blocks Arsenal play against. If Arteta doesn't want to build the attack around his strengths, then he absolutely wont reach his potential. People out here pretending Kai, who's never reached Gyokeres Arsenal goal tally in 1 season is the answer in spite of the fact he couldn't do it over the last 3-4 seasons. Jesus couldn't. Nketiah couldn't. Auba couldn't for Arteta either (and is currently smashing it in La Liga) - but sure, let's pretend that Gyokeres is the issue.

[Peanut_Vendor @ruonnny]

@Nicolas5x I'm not saying he's the greatest but criticising him so that Havertz can start ain't it, they are both underwhelming and if we were ruthless like Citeh they are both sold and we get serious players.

[Charles 🥷🏻 @AfcN5Charles]

I can only crash out on a striker who gets chances and doesn’t score. His goalscoring ability isn’t in question, as he already proved that to us last season.

[Zee @zee_ems]

Arsenal fans are crashing out then there’s me. I’m so happy we didn’t sign Vinicius, Alvarez or Gbarcola 😂. We’ve been saved from ourselves.

I was scoring goals at Vitesse Arnhem, loving the football… yet I felt like the coach wanted me to become someone else.

That experience changed how I look at strikers forever.

Under Peter Bosz, I enjoyed our football. It suited me. But there were times he called me into his office and showed me clips of how I played at Red Star.

My response was always the same:

“At Red Star, I played with two strikers. I could move across the attacking areas and express myself.”

I loved the Dutch 4-3-3 style, but I felt the coach wanted me to play like Drogba.

I respected Drogba, but I was not Drogba.

I used to tell my teammates, “I love how we play, but why does the coach want me to play like a different striker?”

Even when I played for Jong Vitesse, the coaches watched our games, home and away. I played the way I believed I should, but somehow it was never good enough.

Bertrand Traoré and Dominic Solanke were brilliant talents around me. I watched them express themselves and sometimes wondered:

“Why me?”

Maybe the coach had a different vision. Maybe I wasn’t his preferred choice. That’s football.

But you cannot pay €500k for a striker because you believe he fits your plans, then restrict the qualities that made you sign him.

That’s why Gyökeres at Arsenal brings back memories.

I don’t know what Arteta asks of him every day, but as a former striker, I understand what it feels like when you know your strengths yet feel you’re being asked to become someone else.

My scouting takeaway:

Don’t just scout a striker’s goals. Scout how he scores them. His movements, spaces, confidence, and football identity.

A striker needs coaching. But he also needs trust.

Sometimes, the best thing a coach can do is allow the player to be the player he signed.

That’s something I will never forget from Vitesse Arnhem.
