There aren’t many things that make me LOL when I’m scouring the news for Arsenal related goodness… but today… I’m about to show how an Arsenal player threw enough shade to cool the world in line with the Paris Accord.
When I saw it, I was like…
Imagine… getting sub-Tweeted by Mustafi.
Messaging aside, it does show how dedicated to the ‘clean slate’ the manager is. In this case, he has little choice, but overall, he’s making it very clear that the past doesn’t influence the future, only your character and effort will.
Bernd Leno, a man who has not yet mastered the internet, also went into detail about the communications misses of the past.
“He has, in this short time made a big impact,”
“You can see the intensity we play, also the structure in the team and the mentality [away] from the pitch.
“Before I don’t want to say it was a mess it was a little bit confusing, everyone was doing different things.
“We were not a team! Not in the dressing room, not on the pitch and you could see this. I think with Mikel its changed completely.
“The first day he came he wasn’t talking too much about tactics, he was talking about how we behave in the dressing room, when we go to the games we have to be more professional and more like a team.
“I think it’s not only what he’s learned from Pep Guardiola. When you talk to people who have worked with him they said he’s a very clever guy with tactics and how to improve players.
People will keep saying that these comments are basically the players kissing the ring, which is totally acceptable, my question is, which parts read untrue?
The overall picture that’s being painted from where I’m sitting is one in which the squad is enjoying the new regime, they see where the club is going, and they look like they’re having a good time.
That has to translate onto the pitch, but generally, if players of their level are enjoying the process, the results will come.
Anyone see those pictures of the new and improved JACKED Manuel Almunia?
Looks like he reacted badly to the ribbings he took from the Daily Mail for that tiny Paris Hilton dog he had, spent the last 5 years getting ripped, now he’s in Dubai looking for the journo. Scary stuff.
Some interesting stories doing the rounds about PremFlix coming to a streaming platform at some point in the near future. The new EPL CEO says the league has been ready to sell streaming season tickets for 3 years. They’ll trial an all-access pass in some countries in the not too distant future. Surely, long-term, that has to be the model. In Singapore, they sell the rights for £75m and the TV channel makes £175m back through monthly subs. Quite staggering the amount of growth they could generate if they did it themselves.
Very little to go on tonight, I’ll see you all tomorrow!
Dissenter, I’m pretty sure that with almost all the comments I’ve posted I have specifically pointed out that I am aware players big up new managers. My point is the substance of the words. Pap Sok, a center-back, said he’d improved the most under Emery… we conceded 50 goals that season and hadn’t looked so fragile defensively in 10 years.
Leno talking about better communications, organisation and team bonding seems more grounded in reality.
“This is a confusing time to be a writer.”
Pedro – it’s just as confusing to be a reader.
Emery, the coach with multiple domestic and European trophies, who got more league points and went further in Europe than Wenger did, was incompetent apparently.
And now we have hired the sauciest of managers, we have shown no improvement over past couple of months with same players, but we have to wait a year or two because the players are inadequate and results got nothing to do with our novice coach.
“How about wait and see what it actually is before you proclaim what Artetas style is and not just base them on your assumptions” Freddie you seem to be the only one without a clue about Arteta’s vision for the side, use your brain for a change instead of making daft remarks at others for doing so. He’s brought in a ball playing, left sided CB to open up the pitch and play more expansively. He’s talked numerous times about being a side that imposes their own style on the game at hand and not one that worries about the… Read more »
JWL, I don’t want to prosecute cases where we’ve found the defendent guilty… again.
But take a read of this if you are still struggling to follow the very simple story of what Unai did to Arsenal.
https://arseblog.news/2020/02/the-7amkickoff-index-mesut-ozils-stats-a-deep-dive/
If your view is Arsenal haven’t improved since Emery left, I can’t help you, no one can, you’ll be confused forever.
Pedro How many matches do we play backs against the wall defending in? Is that the way forward now? Because that’s the only scenario when Xhaka isn’t going to get done for pace. Just because he hasn’t been terrible doesn’t mean he’s been great, if you’re satisfied with our average midfield then that’s on you, I want more. I know there’s been improvements in organization etc and that’s great and all but some points would be nice too. We haven’t actually been that good either yet apart from short spells, a bit early to proclaim the second (or is it… Read more »
The difference between Arteta and Emery is that Arteta was a recent player and knows what a player goes through and feels. Emery may have been a player in earlier days, but he was severely disconnected from the players and could not communicate nor likely relate to them on any other level than authoritarian. The results speak volumes and Arteta is left to rebuild undoubtedly a very collective fragile psyche. Its not an excuse, but it likely is true – the players were battered and equally battered themselves.
“All roads point to a possession based side dictating the ball and dominating the opponent tactically and technically.”
And you think the only way we can do this is with a slow, ponderous CM that needs to slot into left back to avoid getting pressed so he can complete more passes? Ok then. I hope you’re wrong or next season will be a very familiar story.
https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/02/10/report-arsenal-close-to-agreeing-5m-deal-for-exciting-summer-sig/
This gives me some hope though. Not the level of name I’ve been hoping for maybe but I’m open to be pleasantly surprised.
Xhaka isn’t ideal, but equally that does not mean that you have to accept it either. In a team of now middling talent, Xhaka appears to be a perfect fit. Leave some of you to ponder what that level of mediocrity means.
Ernest, I think Emery was on the spectrum… couldn’t feel out the environment around him. His methods will only work where players need him. Never going to cut it at the highest level.
He’ll end up at a club like Real Sociedad.
Says a lot Freddie, when we have 5-10 million pound signings to look forward to. I can see how Kroenke got to be a billionaire, he never spends any of his own money!
“And since you will ask, things have gotten worse in the last 7 games under Arteta and Arsenal are only averaging 326 passes per game. Those last 7 matches have been so bad from a possession standpoint that it’s dragging down Arsenal’s season average from 481 (which is what it was last season) to 438.”
Agreed Pedro, but i don’t see him anywhere for a while yet. The aftermath of his implosion at Arsenal will have many prospective teams thinking a lot longer and harder as to what Emery really does bring. One thing is for certain, he’s tainted goods right now – and by his own hand.
Cha Cha “”””””He’s brought in a ball playing, left sided CB to open up the pitch and play more expansively.””””” Well if he has seriously done that. ( and I think you are accurate) I think it shows his naivety and latent inexperience. (you do all that stuff later on) so we have X 7 center backs on the payroll and no money to spend- and we have now recruited another one- just because he is left footed and can open up the play? What about if he cant defend? Or run fast? The murmurs are The Lump and Luiz… Read more »
Jordan Henderson is twice the player Xhaka will ever be and Henderson is not what I would have called Arsenal quality 5 years ago. If Xhaka is still an Arsenal lynchpin next season then Arteta will be sacked within 12 months of his contract Im sure of it. With that dozy lump in our midfield we are going nowhere. I will not want to delude my brain into accepting that Xhaka is a good player.
Freddie, context:
> Arteta is fixing our structure. We’re starting from the back.
> We’ve played Chelsea x 2, United, gone to 10 men twice
> Our squad has been injury ravaged
Freddie Whatever way you slice it lad, Xhaka apparently ducking out to left back so he can’t be pressed is it? So nothing to do with giving him full spread of the pitch to pick a pass? No, Arteta has him hiding AND being the guy with the most passes per 90 and nearly 20 more per match than Torreira who is apparently the only CM worth a note? No agenda there mate, none at all. Xhaka is slow off the mark, and he’s certainly made some daft errors before, but you’re watching with your eyes wide shut if you’re… Read more »
Xhaka has a left foot and can open the play up,
The Lump has a left foot and can open the play up,
fat lot of good it does you- if neither can run fast.
Xhaka , The Lump, Luiz , Genduzi are we trying to create the slowest team in the Prem?
“being the guy with the most passes per 90 and nearly 20 more per match than Torreira who is apparently the only CM worth a note?” Again, passing and at what volume you do it is not the only metric to judge a player. Pretty clear and obvious that Torreira is a far superior player than Xhaka for us. “Bet he’d rather not be tasked with doing the same this summer either, much more pressing issues for him to tackle.” More pressing than fixing our midfield? Don’t think so. We already have a CB coming in so the only other… Read more »
jwl following the table instead of the club. somebody get this man a PL streaming subscription.
“Again, passing and at what volume you do it is not the only metric to judge a player.“
Hasn’t been stated as the only metric to judge a player, what’s been said is the value that metric has to a possession based side. Especially when you’re the top performer in this regard and constantly labelled useless.
“Pretty clear and obvious that Torreira is a far superior player than Xhaka for us.“
Want to illustrate the vast divide in quality?
I grew up in Canada and watched North American sports which all had a bunch of statistics. When I first arrived in London in summer of 1995 and went to Highbury for first time, I asked the guy who brought me what Seaman’s save percentage was and he looked at me like I had three eyes in my head. Wins, losses, and how many goals a player scored were only stats that mattered. Now we are bombarded by dozens of intangible statistics and we not focused on wins and losses anymore, supporters say sure we’re not winning matches but look… Read more »
Improved or not it’s still pretty wild that Xhaka blew up at the fans and didn’t really face any consequences. Hard to believe that was this season, it feels so distant already.
CC “being the guy with the most passes per 90 and nearly 20 more per match than Torreira who is apparently the only CM worth a note?No agenda there mate, none at all.” “Hasn’t been stated as the only metric to judge a player, ” You’re arguing with yourself at this point Charles, are you ok? You have eyes I presume, use them when we play and you’ll quite clearly see that Torreira is a much better player and more important to us than Xhaka, if not, might I suggest knitting or maybe bridge. Possession based eh? “And since you… Read more »
Thats because Arteta cleared the slate Dan, giving Xhaka and others a fresh reset.
If it means getting better performances out of the players than all good. If not, then past impressions remain true and management know that it wasn’t circumstantial and should do what should have been done earlier. Im not fussed by it as i have already written the season off and it gives Arteta opportunity to suss out what he really has in terms of talent.
Dan, we accepted a bid for him and he nearly moved.
Emery, “Arsenal was a club on the downward slope for two years when I arrived. We stopped this fall and even started to straighten the club with a Europa League final and a fifth place in the championship, only one place behind Tottenham while we only took a point in the last five days. “We had the qualification for the Champions League in hand and it went wrong in the final. But it was a good season and we had the idea to continue this progression. But we lost our four captains: (Laurent) Koscielny, (Petr) Cech, (Aaron) Ramsey and (Nacho)… Read more »
Freddie
You’d think there’d be a wealth of data to backup your claims of superiority for Torreira over Xhaka. Must just be yet another hot take being channeled as a fact.
Ahh there it is, Arteta hasn’t delivered peak Arteta-ball after 9 games so his intention and philosophy is therefore NOT possession based football.
You nailed it Freddie, absolutely nailed it. Arteta is Pulis in disguise.
Pedro, Ernest — He nearly moved but didn’t, he just took a quick breather and then Arteta decided to keep him around. It’s a strange situation. Credit Mikel for making sure he’s not exposed so we can all rebuild trust and all that, but I think it’s fair to say it’s weird.
jwl
“””””Winning or losing is all that matters in sport, everything else is bullshit, and Arteta has done sweet fa to improve our results,”””””
Harsh but fair.
But he will win the next game- I am sure.
CC “Ahh there it is, Arteta hasn’t delivered peak Arteta-ball after 9 games so his intention and philosophy is therefore NOT possession based football” Never claimed that, doesn’t exactly support your claims about his football vision, or that our midfielders, who should be pretty involved with this possession are massively improved. Again, I’m not judging Arteta after a couple of games, that would just be silly, any new manager coming into this club is going to need time. What I am doing is judging players who has been with us for years and are failing us. Think that’s pretty fair.… Read more »
“doesn’t exactly support your claims about his football vision, or that our midfielders, who should be pretty involved with this possession are massively improved.“
Then..
“Again, I’m not judging Arteta after a couple of games, that would just be silly, any new manager coming into this club is going to need time“
So you’re telling me our 9 games under Arteta don’t support the fact his philosophy is possession based football…..but you’re not judging Arteta?
Well that’s that totally cleared up.
CC
No I’m not judging him or making claims about his footballing vision.
You on the other hand claims it’s possession based with the evidence so far pointing in the other direction.
Do you have some kind of learning disability or something? It’s ok if you do, just makes it easier in the future to know.
I like the look of papa gueye.
“You on the other hand claims it’s possession based with the evidence so far pointing in the other direction.“ Arteta coming into a floundering club and looking to haemorrhage the shit inside 6 weeks doesn’t alter his philosophy. A philosophy is an ideal, it’s the vision you have for the game. You’re making some tenuous link to his first 6 weeks in charge in a puerile attempt to undermine what has been known, for some time, about how Arteta sees football. His philosophy isn’t going to change, the conditions surrounding the club/squad will to the point it comes to life.… Read more »
For once let’s leave aside a debate about recruitment or replacements in defence, but focus on what is required to upgrade our offensive areas. Our midfield has clearly underperformed when you analyse the lack of creativity, assists and goals in that department. Ozil is cleary no longer the influential player he was and Ceballos who was presumably brought in as a replacement for Ramsey is underwhelming as well. Players like Willock and Smith-Rowe have potential, but lack experience and consistency to play against top sides at this point of their careers. So the imperative is that we recruit this summer… Read more »
“My philosophy will be clear,” he said. “I want the football to be expressive, entertaining. I cannot have a concept of football where everything is based on the opposition. “We have to dictate the game, we have to be the ones taking the initiative, and we have to entertain the people coming to watch us. I’m 100 per cent convinced of those things, and I think I could do it.” Arteta added: “You can have an idea of a system, but you need to be able to transform it depending on the players you have – how much pace you… Read more »
Unai Emery to France Football: “Arsenal was a club on a downward slope for two years before I arrived. We stopped that.”
Man needs a new job, or to just avoid Arsenal chat for a good 6 months.
Arteta hasn’t improved our standings in the league. That’s what matters to the fan. This he’s improved this player or that is irrelevant if our league position isn’t improving. For crying out loud we changed coaches to see improvement on the pitch and league standings. We’re drawing more that visual art students.
We need to be winning games and the excuses being made are getting boring and rhetoric.
I’m care about the club not about coach X,Y or Z. Cheerio!!
Arteta seems to be building team spirit. that is important especially in tough times… to weather the criticism etc.
There are still glaring problems tho, some leave you puzzled- why keep leaving pepe out?
How to get Laca firing?
How to get Laca and Auba playing well together
etc.
Not to mention a midfield overhaul….
At this point, Art should really put all the eggs into the EL basket. I can see us finishing 7/8 in the league…. top 4 way out of the picture now
I think Emery is right. This club was on a downward slope more than the years he mentioned. It was just a matter of time.
Come to think of it, Arteta is doing OK but those saying he needs more time, why is Ancelloti, who many here were against his hire is doing a good job on Merseyside? Is Everton having players than us?
Kay, sit in the ground and tell me the fans aren’t with this project.
Lets wait and see what the FA does to Dele Ali for his stupidity
Don’t wait with bated breaths though. I’m tired of seeing these Puds players get away with stuff. China is also watching what he league does because they can apply the same squeeze hey used on the NBA.
To be honest Kay, Arsenal are not a very good club and have not been all season. They show flashes but those are rare. I really do think that Arteta is going to need some time to sort out what he truly has to work with. On paper these guys should be theoretically better than they are, but when you actually watch them, they really are as poor as what you are witnessing. In my opinion they are not a cohesive group and they may never be. Its going to take Arteta time to figure out who fits his plans… Read more »
“Lets wait and see what the FA does to Dele Ali for his stupidity”
The FA will do fuck all, if a white player had made the same comments they’d be demands for the player to be banned and questions asked in Parliament.
It appears we want to kick out racism – but only if it comes from white people.
Dissenter
The Chinese were pissed off about the Ozil comments and they have every right to be pissed off about this.
Im going to say it, give Arteta a fair chance. Many of you put up with 10+ years of mind numbingly frustrating football from One Arsene Wenger as he condescendingly spoke down on everyone as his brand of insanity held flight until the wings finally dropped off and he was only fooling himself in the end. Then we were treated to a season and a half of some of the most confusingly incoherent football witnessed in these parts in a long time. Arteta represents a breath of fresh air and brings a real optimism with him. I am more than… Read more »
To be fair, Dele Ali will never be the brightest bulb in any chandelier. He is, on this occasion, deserving of all the ridicule and punishment coming his way. Im not defending him, but he isn’t overly intelligent to begin with and this, this was inevitable.
And for the record his apology reeks of insincerity as he rarely if ever looks directly at anyone or his phone camera. Simply put, he got caught out for being stupid and that is what bothers him most.
Ernest
” but he isn’t overly intelligent to begin ”
That applies to 99% of British footballers out there. As a black player who’s spoken about racism issues faced by black players when playing for England he should at least have the self awareness to not do this.
Ernest
What are the odds someone from the club saw his comments and was on the phone 4 seconds later screaming blue murder. Strangely an apology followed shortly after.
Stupidity knows no race, creed or colour Marc.
Marc, i would say pretty darn quickly after. The fact that he may have done this sober – ooh.
“As a black player who’s spoken about racism issues faced by black players when playing for England he should at least have the self awareness to not do this.”
Marc – as my grandfather, and many others, use to say “common sense ain’t so common”.
What did Alli do?
The FA threw the book at Bernado Silva even though his clumsy comets were directed at a team mate who was not in the least offended.
Dele Ali turned his camera on the nearest Asian looking dude to demean.
He needs to be banned from games…and then tarred with ice cream.
Here is a link Pedro.

Tarred with ice cream, Dissenter? That would be considered a perfectly good waste of ice cream for those who love it! Can we replace Ice Cream with Mayonnaise?
Fellas, let the punishment fit the crime. He won’t learn his lesson until he actually contracts corona virus.
Arsenal have dragged supporters down to their level where a win now is a big deal…
Delle Alli is a crass idiot with appalling judgement. Who knew ?
Yes Dele Alli really does have a small IQ.
“Arsenal are weighing up a bid in the summer for Le Havre’s Pape Gueye. His contract expires in 18 months
He described as combination of Pogba & Kante
1,87m tall, left-footed box-to-box midfielder
Despite a tender age, Gueye has been handed the captain’s armband by the manager”
Anyone been watching him? Fits the profile we need, the 5m fee is a bargain. Always a question of adapting with players coming from weaker leagues but for that kind of money it would be silly to not take a punt.
“It appears we want to kick out racism – but only if it comes from white people.”
Maybe you should learn the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality before you spout off about topics more advanced than “special sauce”.
alex
Maybe you should make a comment relevant to the conversation.
There’s a first time for everything.
Freddie
I’m always wary of the “new X player” tag but if the guy genuinely has the attributes of Pogba and Kante or at least the potential to reach them for £5 million is a no brainer.
Worse case scenario is he doesn’t work out and is sold for what we paid for him in a couple of seasons.
The standard of debate has dropped to the farcical – the Arteta dissenters seem to be out in force At the minute whilst no further matches are being played. Do those of you not realise how ridiculous you sound? – calling for the sack of someone who has been in charge for only 9 matches – of which only one btw has actually been lost.
Some of you seriously need to get a grip – you have lost all sense of reality.
“He needs to be banned from games…and then tarred with ice cream.”
I was hoping for a hanging – pre match entertainment for Sunday. It’d be a great way to get people into the stadium early on!
Northbanker
Try reading the posts before you start jabbing away.
Who’s calling for Arteta’s sack?
Northbanker Unfortunately we’re heading back to the Wenger days on here – it’s an absolute, you either back the manager or you don’t. There’s no middle ground or room for comment. I’m behind Arteta and happy to give him a real run of matches, at the same time it’s not sacrilege to say we need to start winning some matches or Arteta’s in game management could be better. It’s the point I was trying to make to DNA yesterday when he said in a survey 75%of fans would back sacking Arteta for the Pooooooooooooch. I kept asking what fans and… Read more »

We’re likely to struggle to get someone like Soumare or Ndidi with the competition and pricetags they’ll carry in the summer, especially with us unlikely to be in Europe. A guy like this could well fill an important gap for us. its not like we couldn’t use the funds to plug another hole instead.

Of course Arteta should be sacked.
We are miles off the pace and it’s down to one man only.

“It’s the point I was trying to make to DNA yesterday when he said in a survey 75%of fans would back sacking Arteta for the Pooooooooooooch.I kept asking what fans and he never got it. Do you include the screaming hysterics and nut jobs on the internet”
My apologies for not getting back to you sir. I’m in no shape or form qualified enough to determine who’s a fan. That’s why I said “Arsenal fan”. Thanks!
Arteta is making all the underperforming players feel important. Ozil, Lacazette, Xhaka, Mustafi. The first 4 players I’d kick out of Arsenal if I had the chance. Why the hell is he doing it? 1. Just so he could finish the season with no dramas and maybe raise their price for an eventual BIG SALE summer incoming? or 2. Cause he rates them and thinks they all have place in our starting lineup game in, game out and will be relying on them beyond the end of this season? Fuck me, we’ll be in deep shit if it’s option #2.… Read more »
“We needed time to succeed with our transition to a new Arsenal which is what I wanted. For example, Nicolas Pépé, who was the club’s choice, clearly needed time to adapt,” he told France Football, as per Get Football News France.

Ancelotti has picked up the second highest points tally since he took over only beaten by Klopp and Liverpool.
Raptora,
Emery’s statement when he left the club was classy and dignified, as was his subsequent silence.
His GFFN interview marks him out to be petty, and a bit of a Dele Alli.
Northbanker “… calling for the sack of someone who has been in charge for only 9 matches – of which only one btw has actually been lost…..”. Sorry I can’t agree. I don’t see many on here calling for Arteta’s head just yet! There is of course a vigorous, mature discourse about his coaching abilities, team selection, game management plans etc which is quite understandable considering Arsenal are currently in 10th place in the EPL. Most on here appreciate that ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ and would consider it only fair to give him time to progress his ideas… Read more »

AussieG,
Going by the track record of RT’s previous predictions (second to only Mr, 87% right CG, the revolution will come before Raul and Edu will even consider sacking Arteta.
*(second only to Mr. 87% Right, CG…)
You know what’s funny. If there’s one thing i know it’s Arsenal fans. If Arteta doesn’t beat Newcastle next game. The fanbase will go ape shit and all this give him time bollocks will be out the window. The next game after that will see ppl calling him out especially if Everton and Sheffield United keep winning. This guy has got about 2 games before the shit hits the fan. Irrational stupid illogical. Yep that’s us ha!
I keep on reading the same nonsense calling for the sacking of Arteta who some posters believe is not management/head coach material. Arteta arrived in the post just before Christmas and took over responsibility for team/squad and its coaching and selections for the Bournemouth game. Since then we have played 9 games winning three , drawing five and losing one. Significantly of the seven games we have played in EPL four have been played away and three at home.
