5 things I’d LOVE to see against Liverpool

by .

Oh hello Buzzfeed headline 2014. Here’s a quick run down of what I’d like to see this evening.

1.A lite version of what our future attacking structure could look like

It’s dangerously close to the end of the transfer window. There’s no Aouar yet. There might not be. We are absolutely toothless, still.

What I can’t have is that there is no way to play attacking football this year without that one player. If we are really going into the season with the least creative midfield in the league, that is pure negligence. I would LOVE to see a lite version of where this process is heading. Is there a young player that can play in the pockets, like ESR? Will we give Saka a role at #10? Is there a system the younger players will be put in that can at least guide the way this evening? I hope so. We can’t pin out hopes on Auba all season. Leeds are out signing Cusiance from Bayern. If they can shower teams in shots on their budget, we should be able to do something.

2. The future of our CB spine

Tonight, one would assume, we’ll get to see Willy Saliba and Gabriel in the centre of defence together in their first competitive match. This is exciting on many levels. The two of them are very capable with the ball at their feet, they have the requisite height to make us hard to attack from setpieces… the question is, do they have the power and wherewithal to deal with an explosive Premier League team this early? We shall see. We’re mostly here to see where Saliba is in his development, hopefully he surprises everyone with an elite performance.

3. The future of the #13

I can’t remember the last time we had a #13 back-up keeper. Manninger? It almost feels a bit quaint. I like it, but will I like the keeper wearing the jersey? He’s handsome, no doubt. But good? Who knows. Arteta and his coaching staff took a big gamble binning off Emi Martinez. Tonight, we’ll get a glimpse at whether Iñaki Caña, the keeping coach, has good taste in students. Runar had some pretty grim stats from his time in Ligue 1 last season. Are we rescuing a diamond in the rough, or are we making the mistake City did at the beginning i.e. signing a keeper who can play passes like Pirlo, but couldn’t catch the ‘rona in an emergency ward sneeze box? This game will be a huge baptism of fire, longballs, and shots… will it be Massimo Taibi? Or Alex Manninger? We’ll soon find out.

4. What is a Willock?

Arsene liked him. Emery liked him. Freddie LOVED him. Arteta likes him.

What is it about Joe Willock they all love? Because I’d really like to see some of it on the box tonight.

We know he makes excellent runs off the ball. We know he can dribble. We know he can move at speed. We know he is capable of goals and assists… can we see it happen at some point? If he splutters again this season, he’ll be out in the summer. This is make or break.

Time to shine, Joe. We believe in you.

5. How quickly can we adapt to being found out?

I pontificated before the last Liverpool game over whether teams in the top 6 would suss us this season. We are very well drilled now. We defend better, our off the ball movement is great, our pressing is very good. However, we’re a bit robotic. Klopp knew how we’d try and attack down the left in the last game and he tried to deal with it (we still scored from the left). We need some new party tricks, we can’t get by on the same one all season. Now Liverpool knows where to double up and over-commit in the press, what is the plan? Could we do something mad like play down the right? Are we going pure long ball? Would we dare play through the middle? We were sussed the other night. There needs to be some innovation in how we play or the same will happen tonight.

Oh, how about a 6th point… WIN 4-0. Amirite? Of course I am.

Enjoy the game, I’ll see you in the comments. Come at me with your bullet points!

P.S. Congrats to Saka on his England call up. To commit to the three lions on Nigerian Independence Day. Man is going to the very top. Cold as ice. A natural killer. What a talent!

We call it a crisp – I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something else. When you consider some of those the comment is directed at you could be talking about anything!

Mr Serge

Frost Ann has ice in his veins comes accross and nonchalant but it’s just supreme confidence

Ishola70

It’s not about style.

It’s about what is going to work to get top four.

Some of you are taking far too much stock in one off cup matches.

I agree with Bati. Arteta has got to find something extra from what we have seen so far.to make top four.

Hopefully a new player or two will see to this.

Mr Serge

I call it a crisp as well

I’m not sure it’s so funny – I’ll be on the ambulance behind him with the same heart attack.

Ishola

That’s the thing – a couple of new CM’s and we could be talking a different ball game.

Bati
I get your point.
Problem is we don’t have a midfield that can compete with half the league, until we do Arteta has to be careful.

Ishola70

Batistuta
“Again no one is saying go gong ho against any team, I’m saying we won’t win games if we don’t score, we don’t score if we don’t create chances and that’d an area we’re currently struggling in. It’s on the manager to find the right balance to both the defensive and attacking sides”

There will be too many draws over the whole EPL campaign like last season if he doesn’t find something extra.

And draws can be hurtful.

For someone that’s shit talked AMN to the degree you have you’d think you’d be more reserved with a Pepe defence. He’s been hugely underwhelming for what’s expected.

Can drag in Zaha for a pissing contest and crunch pure numbers if you think it’s a security blanket, changes nothing of my view that Zaha shits on what Pepe has delivered to date. We need a player that performs for 90 mins, a constant out ball, a threat, a player that wins games on his own. Only describes one player of the two in this league.

McBright is Wright

“I told him in the dressing room I’m going to have a heart attack, because with this body language – Jesus Christ! And then he puts it in the net which is the reason why he was one of the subs [that came on]”
Arteta on AMN penalty taking.

Yea think we all sorta know the midfield is gash at the moment but there has to be a way. More Saka and Ceballos against certain teams and less El Neny and his sideways passes. Would have said less Xhaka too but we’re stuck on that hill

Emiratesstroller

There were a number of lessons learned tonight. 1. We were defeated on Monday by the League Champions who have not lost any games at Anfield in almost 4 years. Suddenly everyone on Le Grove were criticising the team for the defeat and in some cases slagging the Manager. 2. We won the game tonight albeit on penalties and that is our third victory in four games against Liverpool. I doubt that many supporters of other clubs would be so critical of their team as some people who post on this website appear to be. 3. Leno had a very… Read more »

Not sure West ham beating Wolves should factor into why we were poor against them…

I’m well aware of our shortcomings very aware and very happy with the bulk of our work so far this season but the fact we’re not creating so much is a worry and that’s something I’m hoping Arteta and the team can rectify as the season progresses.

Even peak Mourinho teams in 04/05 with the full bus parked found a way to create chances all season.

this pre-season ain’t been too bad. kids getting a run out against top notch opponents.

city on a decline, not scary, at all.

EmiratesStroller,

Agree with each and every one of your points 1-5.

Emi who? All of u idiots should apologize to BL.

Tom

AMN penalty taking style is the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in football , like in, forever. Until he misses one Arteta should leave him be. Elneny should definitely not take another penalty for as long as he plays though. Missing a pen is just a fact of footballers’ life but of all the low percentage pens his was the lowest. Not looking at the keeper- check Not sending the ball into a corner-check Not hitting the ball with pace- check Basically, unless the keeper guesses wrong corner he saves it, because even if he stays put he still saves… Read more »

Such a shame the Charko marriage didn’t last.

RockyRoe

When CG was shitting on emery he was Pedro best buddy, they had their chums synchronised.

Now that he is doing the same to arteta, Pedro can’t take it.

Dream10

Good to see us going thru tonight.

We have a shot differential of -31 this season
(40 shots for, 71 shots allowed)

Not only do we reinforcements, Arteta has to do better in terms of team selection. The football we play is dull.

Rumors of Rennes looking to take Saliba on loan for the season. Probably means only one, maybe two of right sided CBs from Mustafi/Chambers/Sokratis/Holding leave.

Bamford10

Pedro “Since then, we’ve beaten Leicester and Liverpool in the cup. Two sides everyone has down as much better than us.” Our second XI beat their second XIs, Pete. How you do in the PL, however, is determined by the quality of your first XI, not your second XI. Liverpool’s first XI is in a different universe from ours, and Leicester’s is better than ours, even if some people can’t see this. Unless we sign a first XI player or two in the next four days, this team will be lucky to finish 6th. “We’ll be pragmatic all season, because… Read more »

Just saw AMN’s pen fucking SAVAGE LOL

China1

Tom el neny’s penalty wasn’t that soft, but the accuracy was off as you say so it was a nailed on save for a keeper going the right way

Tbh tho I remember Cazorla getting credit for scoring most of his arsenal penalties but most of them were horribly hit, soft and only a bit off Centre. If the keeper had guessed right many of them would’ve been easy saves

Mics

Tom

Agreed, AMN’e penalties are fantastic. He should be the designated taker based on style alone haha.

Chi

We’re mostly here to see where Saliba is in his development, hopefully he surprises everyone with an elite performance.

I remember reading countless times on this blog that Saliba was the answer to our defensive woes.
Whatever happened to that narrative?

Nelson

Bamford Squad poverty is judged by comparing with your competitor. Unfortunately, this year, our direct competitor, Chelsea, Manure, Spuds all strengthen their team. I don’t mention the Pool and MC because they are way ahead. Last year we thought that our team was not poor because we started at a league position #5 and we have supposed to have signed a superstar winger. At least, we have spent a record transfer fee to sign him. Chelsea was not allowed to sign player and Manure/Spurs squad haven’t improved. at the start of the year. (Manure strengthened the team in the January… Read more »

I still 100% do not understand the squad poverty argument… what is the endgame of the argument that Emery should have stayed? So what if we didn’t have a top 4 quality squad at start of season and Pedro overestimated it some.. Does it matter…? He was 100% right about Emery.. Awful manager for us. Lost the team and we were headed for relegation zone. Ended up not winning us anything at all. Whole argument is tedious and a point scoring argument against Pedro is all it is. What’s funny to me is people still think Emery was a good… Read more »

The “Charko” marriage……….you got jokes bro.

Gonsterous

Reading the comments, you’d think leno had a bad day. He was a beast. MotM.
This is pepe’s second start of the season, give him time. Looking at his stats last season, you know he’s going to be vital. Just need to let him loose arteta.

Glad no manager takes advice from fans. Fans are thick as pig shit. Willian had a great debut, everyone was hailing as a great signing. Next game, the bollocking started. Maybe don’t comment with your heart on your sleeve. Makes you all look like an idiot.

CaliGooner

PSG with a big bid for Auour? In short we are fucked. Not going to get the midfielder we needed to make it happen this window. Expect a lot more of 343. Even if we can’t get him we shouldn’t buy Jorginho. Not upgrading the midfield this summer when that was the absolute number one thing that had to happen is a shocking disaster and yet oh so arsenal.

Guns of SF

Cali

Im reading the same thing, sounds legit.

My worry is happening now, all eggs in one basket.

They bid around 46m?

Its time to get Coutinho on loan and go for Partey. I can live with that

MidwestGun

We aren’t getting Countinho…. Koeman has been non stop talking about How he will be the focal point of their attack.. He moved out Suarez to do it. And has been given the keys to their attack.

That ship has sailed. He would have been my first choice despite the whole Kia/ Raul thing. but it isn’t happening.

Nelson

I don’t understand what Arteta is talking about this one year of transition required by William Saliba before he can play in the EPL. I just checked the birth day of these three players:

William Saliba March 24 2001
Gabriel Martinelli June 18 2001
Bukayo Saka Sept 5 2001

Saliba is older than both Martinelli and Saka who has already featured in last year’s EPL games. What does this “one year of transition” mean????

Guns of SF

Mid

No CM CAM and we are going to really struggle. Lets see if the team has a back up plan.
ESR?

IF Aouar not happening, then Partey. Get it done.

MidwestGun

Nelson- He was talking about not playing for almost a year in France due to injuries and Covid not waiting a year to play in EPL. He clearly thinks he is not match fit yet.

Nelson

We should have signed James Rodríguez, who joined Everton. Our team should be more attractive than Everton. Rodríguez still plays pretty well.

MidwestGun

Guns –
Yep… I have no idea. what the backup is… agreed if we don’t get help now.. we will be begging somebody in January probably.. Kroenke should have just ponied up the dough to get the targets Arteta wanted.. support you rookie manager. That’s what makes me more irked then anything.

andy1886

Well it’s Friday – D-day for signing Auoar. We should have a good idea how the TW is going to pan out by the end of today.

Guns of SF

Indeed Kroenke will need to answer what the F happened here.
Every man and his dog knew who we were after…
Unless PSG bid is click bait, we are screwed

Someone threw out the loan option with obligation to buy, that might have worked for us…
This loan thing seems to be the way for now, get top 4, then buy those players

Guns of SF

Andy still evening here in cali Oct 1.
I do hope that we see something happening today.
Perhaps we somehow find the $$$ and then pay up?

I imagine PSG can also beat our annual salary offer.

DivineSherlock

What a game lads . Bamford bringing in Emery again , man you need to chilll . City in the quarter finals , that would take some huge effort . Not that I wanna bring this up but Emi never saved a pen for us , Leno just made 2 . Leno>Emi . Why doesnt Arteta try 3-5-2 , Might give us more numbers in midfield amd the wingbacks would play the same . Its just the wingers will have less game time.

Tom

Trump tested for Covid after making fun of Biden for wearing a mask.
Fucking hilarious.

Graham62

Irrespective of the fact that Leno had a very good game and saved two penalties (MOTM by a mile and a furlong ) I still feel very unsure with him in goal.

Just saying.

When’s the next presidential debate?

Can’t wait.

Why can’t David Dimbleby be flown in to host the carnage.

He’d sort Trump out.

On that’s right, he’s 81.

Still!

Tom

I feel the Leno/Emi debate is here to stay.
The battle lines have been drawn and both camps continue to dig in.

Pierre

If we are being honest , as much as I like Arteta , this season is going pretty similar to last season. We are struggling to make chances and are conceding double the amount . This is not sustainable and ultimately, unless things improve, we will struggle to get positive results . Last season , we drew 5-5 in the league cup with liverpool , but lost on penalties.. At the end of the previous seasons, Emery lost his cup final to Chelsea whilst Arteta beat Chelsea in the FA cup final. Both managers also took a good beating away… Read more »

It’s not a question of having a debate, it’s just a question of weather Leno is the answer. My gut feeling is that he is not.

Time will tell.

If only we had some inbuilt creativity in the team.

You know, someone that was willing and able to be there for the team and enjoy his responsibilities.

Surely there’s someone out there.

Pedro

Where has Marc made a comment?

DivineSherlock

Pierre

To be fair , we have been solid at the back , its only the individual mistakes that have cost us. And to lose at Anfield in PL, where nobody ever won against them in 64 games is no biggie .

Ernest Reed

“Of course, we do have a player in the squad who can play that ball with his eyes closed .”

Only problem is said player can no longer be bothered to put in any effort. Seems everyone but you realizes this point, Pierre. Why you continue to flog a dead horse is beyond me, but keep having at it – your track record for supporting dead horses remains unrivalled.

Thorough

Arteta talks a lot of bull at times. Saliba didn’t play last year? But Gabriel didn’t play for 6 straight months before joining us and he’s pulling up trees already. He prolly even feared Gabriel would be shitty against Liverpool and plumped for Luiz last time around. Funny enough Gabriel just had a masterclass where he had Salah in his pocket. Stop over thinking shit.

All he needs is 3 points?

Jesus H did we get walloped 5-1 or maybe 6-0.? A fair few people need to accept a win however it occurs . Those of longer memories will remember a number of back to the wall jobs that would have been celebrated if it’d been Mourinho.
I’d have taken a 0-0 and win on penalties against Barca in the champs league. So many fools on here would rather we lost in the right way .

Just Another Customer

yeah yeah the entitled know nothings blah blah

andy1886

Pierre is right of course, we do have a player that can play that ball in the squad. He’s called Tierney and he’s made that pass several times, unfortunately both he and Auba had to be rested yesterday.

Pierre

Andy
That’s who I was talking about…..the problem is , he is playing so far back that it is nearly impossible for him to be in that the position to slide a team mate in

and no , a ball over the top of the fullback is not sliding a player in.

“When’s the next presidential debate”

Not happening. Trump’s got the Covid

Trask

Yeah, Arteta-ball is as boring as Emery-ball

But credit him for steering the club away from the league position that Emery got us into and rehabilitating a lot of the club’s players.

That alone, plus the winning results, will give him a long rope to hang from.

Over the weekend, Arsenal were outshot, at home, by West Ham United, 14 to 7. This was Arteta’s 22nd Premier League game in charge of the club, and it marked the 16th time his team had been outshot by its opponent. Through those 22 matches, Arteta’s Arsenal have taken 42.8 percent of the shots. (All data via Stats Perform.) You can slide your finger across the x-axis on Grayson’s first graph above to get a sense of what kind of points total that performance typically produces. Here’s how Arsenal compare to all the other Big Five clubs since Arteta was… Read more »

Last night was an excellent performance against a very talented liverpool side that was made up of academy and experienced players, and they started the game with their most prolific scorer and their best defender. It shows that our squad has depth and it shows that the team can bounce back from a defeat. I’ll take boring wins atm, but there is a difference between boring wins where we are in control of the game and looking comfortable than a boring win where we concede double the amount of chances than the opposition…. We need to move the needle a… Read more »

Only surprise with Trump getting Covid-19 is that it took him so long. Now it completes the Big 3 bingo card of leaders who downplayed the seriousness of the virus and the need to wear masks. Trump’s lucky that he’ll have world-class care and overall treatment has improved because otherwise he would be totally screwed based on his age, obesity and sinus issues.

Dream10

If we’re going for a back three on Sunday, Gabriel has done enough to bench Tierney. The Scotsman was poor on Monday.

Gabriel at LCB and Saka at LWB. Alternative is Saka at RW with Tierney at LWB.

Would prefer Pépé Özil Saka three behind Aubameyang
Won’t happen though.

We’re desperate for offensive output.

Pierre

Azed
Just beat me to it..Mines a shorter version with the same conclusion.

Red Army

Azed what a shit article that is. Just because a team get ‘outshot’ doesn’t mean shit. If we are out scored then I might start taking you seriously. So speculative punts from outside the box are a reason to be pissed off and used against the manager and the set up? We aren’t wide open any more we’re difficult to beat and don’t give up a lot of big chances per game. I couldn’t give a fuck if we were ‘outshot’ of most of those shots are hit and hope which skew the number anyway. How many of those shots… Read more »

Dream10

Spurs signing Carlos Vinicius on loan as a backup #9 to Kane. Decent goal record for Benfica, not sure how good he is.

Aouar and Partey still on the table.

bacaryisgod

Back to Arsenal, it’s going to be really interesting to see what we do when the window is closed and we might be stuck with a few players we don’t really need or want.

-Torreira, Guendouzi, Sokratis are likely gone on loan at the very least

-Ozil can’t be moved. Nothing on Chambers or Mustadi, which is unsurprising given their recent injuries.

-Kolasinac looks like he’s staying because otherwise he might have sat out the Liverpool game.

Still think Nelson needs to go on loan and possibly Willock too.

andy1886

Tierney has been one of our top three players of the last six months, one poor performance doesn’t change that. Gabriel is a CB, Tierney is a LB/LWB who can play as a CB if needed. No reason why Gabriel benches Tierney at all.

Red Army

Pierre I like what you post but to think we’re skipping back to last years standards is reaching a bit. We do need to find a better balance but that will come and I wasn’t expecting it to start at Anfield.

Half the shot we face are speculative let’s be honest, not chances where we’re caught on the counter or are carved open time and time again like with emery.

Batistuta

Pedro A bit funny you’re saying now that you’ll take turgid football if it grinds out wins but you were saying for so long when it was a bit more fanciful and open and attacking that it wasn’t sustainable then because we kept getting out shot. Look I’m not at all being heavily critical of Arteta, love him to bits but my point still remains, if we don’t find a way to start creating more chances for our strikers, the bad results won’t be too far behind and we don’t want that. The manager has been here a while now… Read more »

I am a sucker for quality attacking football but strangely I still really admire how Mikel Arteta gets the most out of our squad by using pragmatic tactics. Arteta is the only reason I expect good results from Arsenal even against top teams. The guy is special, he really is.

‘ A bit funny you’re saying now that you’ll take turgid football if it grinds out wins but you were saying for so long when it was a bit more fanciful and open and attacking that it wasn’t sustainable then because we kept getting out shot.’ There is clearly a plan now and if the football suffers a bit while we develop and evolve then so be it.

Got to be happy with that results, define character and confidence builder too . Leno, Holding, Gabriel,Willock,Saka,Xhaka, were all very good and will have grown in confidence and a stronger mentality after eeking out a win like that and gritting and battling with Liverpool, albeit it without their top players still a win . Eddie and Dani will have blown out some dirty diesel but now more is needed from them if they are to stake a claim .

So that might be why Kol is retained

Rosapirescastlesaka

If Saliba goes Musti will have to stay . (not my choice just logic)
Arteta doesnt trust Sok to play that role so unless he moves Hector into RCB or permantely keeps Tierney as LCB then he will have to keep Musti .

Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster to sign for Sheffield United today. £23.5m, 15% sell-on clause, buyback option lasting 3 years.

Hope we put the sell on clause and buy back option in the Martinez deal?

How do other clubs sell fringe players for real money yet we can’t give away players for change?

Daniel Altos

I was happy to the win yesterday until I saw we have drawn fucking Man City ffs. Jeez,we have terrible luck on draws. I also saw our fixture list and after sheffield united it’s looking pretty tough for us this October fingers crossed we bring in some quality players. Big up to Leno, MoTm yesterday.

Honestly anyone watching the match yesterday saw that our frontline was feeding on scraps.I may be alone in this but I still think pepe… Read more »

azed

Liverpool are at the top of the football pyramid so most of their players are overvalued, even fringe players. Everyone knows they dont need to sell anyone to balance the books or sign new players. So in short whenever someone wants to do a deal with their players they hold all the cards.
Brewster has been tipped to go to the very top for 2 years now at least. Had a very good loan last season and his contract has some time on it. + The English premium.

Leftside

Tierney benched? Off one questionable half on Monday? Dream as knee jerk as per.

Jim Lahey

“Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster to sign for Sheffield United today. £23.5m”

What the actual fuck is going on. We can’t move on Torreira or Guendouzi for more than £20m and Liverpool are selling fucking nobodies for close to £25m.. this has to be a joke.

Why is Bamford still white knighting for Emery?

Him and Red the only two EKBs in town.

Bati, West Ham spanked Wolves the week after. Not sure anyone is praising what went on there though. Since then, we’ve beaten Leicester and Liverpool in the cup. Two sides everyone has down as much better than us. We’ll be pragmatic all season, because we have to be with the players we have. I’ll take it if it unlocks the money we need to find expansive attacking football.

emery was winning matches playing bland football with no philosophy at the beginning of its reign and was castigated a lot here. no philosophy they a say they say. now that arteta is doing the same, excuse upon excuse is being brandied about as if it was not the same players emery was using. now according to pedro, all that matters now is result. smhhh.

WinOrDie

I ‘m inclined to think that with about 8 central defenders on our books most of whom are not attracting interest from other clubs (Mustafi,chambers,Kola,Socratis) yet we must offload some players to create room for the incoming ones is the reason why Saliba is being lined up for a loan move .
