At the moment, i can’t tell who’s our most valuable player! there’s a time people missed Xhaka for chrissake when he was out. At some point we even questioned where we would be if Laca wasn’t there to drop deep and create for other attackers. Before Partey got injured it was Tomiyasu……… Nonetheless, Partey has featured in some of our losses too. My take is we don’t have an MVP

There are people on this blog STILL comparing Arteta to Klopp. It’s a sure fire sign that delusion is strong with those guys.

Artea isn’t Klopp, he’s Zeljko Buvac. Remember him? He was a supposed “genius” behind Klopp. I wonder what the fcuk is he up to now?

There’s reason people like Buvac and Arteta are No2s and will NEVER have a successful managerial career…the problem for us is we’re learning this truth the hardest of ways.

Dutch proverb: Fish rot from the head. If after being in charge for 2.5 years, there are still something wrong with the culture at the club, maybe the problem is the manager. Maybe his micro-managing tendancy and his constant petty man management means that nobody is ready to step up and confront him by fear of retribution. Instead of having healthy discussion going back and forth with the captain ready and able to express misgiving or advice to a rookie manager, we have a group of scared robotic players under the threat of being of being dropped if they dare… Read more »

Matteo G is such a shit that nobody could like. that’s why he was named captain of the France U21. That’s why he is now in the French squad because it is well known that Deschamps does not care about squad harmony. That’s why he is viewed at Marseille as one of the squad leader, who will fight to the death for a result. That’s why Kolasinac called Guendouzi before joining Marseille and publicly thank him for the way he helped him settled there. Back to Trying to smear a young player, because they don’t the Arteta Knows Best agenda… Read more »

Pedro ‘Liverpool dropped 30 points when VVD got an injury.’ You’ve said this a few times so let’s address it real quick because it is factually wrong. Liverpool weren’t 30 games worse off last season due to the Van Dijk injury. He’s without doubt one of the best central defenders in the world but the reason Liverpool cratered after winning the title in 2019-2020 was because they started the season with 3 recognized first-team CBs in Van Dijk, Matip and Gomez and lost them all to injury. Having to move Fabinho and even Hendersonat times back to CB completely disrupted… Read more »

Naija+soccer

‘Is Partey our most valuable player ? Seems when he’s out, we tend to struggle’.

Partly true Naija. We also struggle when he delivers subpar performances. It does look like we are dependent on him (and also maybe his partnership with Xhaka) to deliver a good run of performances.

Bacary

In that case then this situation is indirectly related to Xhaka. Because he’s a sub par player, when Partey isn’t available or not in form we struggle.

This is why Lokonga should have been played more throughout the season.

Terrible thing to happen to anyone the loss of a child. Hope the press leave them alone to grieve in peace.

Danny, from someone who’s experienced this horrific occurrence, you would be wise to shut your fucking mouth, especially if you did so simply to express that you’re hopeful of the prospect of Ronaldo missing a fixture as a result of his tragic loss…btw, if this were the case, I find this just as appalling as the fucked up comment from earlier

my deepest condolences go out to Cristiano and Georgina

Yea. Guen is a dick head and apparently you can’t do anything with dickheads.

Well, you can’t if you have zero people skills or ability to man manage people.

*Listen to his comments on his podcast after the Soton game.

He’s twisted up a bit because you can’t serve two masters. Pete loves Arteta with all his heart, also loves the Arsenal. What do you do when your hot-and-now is hurting your true love? It’ll get worse before it gets better. Kind of like our season.

Auba not in Barca’s starting 11 this evening, interesting.

From the earlier quote: “One of the main problems identified in recent times has been the culture and they are now trying to do something about it. The Athletic understands Arsenal have enlisted the help of consultancy firm People-Made to embark upon what sources call a “top-to-bottom cultural review of the club”. So the progress that Pedro touted of how Arteta has improved the culture was evidently not up to the level expected, otherwise they would not have put this into the hand of a consultancy firm. You can call it what you want but it is on the same… Read more »

You need to chill a little bit Vieira Lyn.

Not everyone has the same view of the world or the same experiences.

Watch the PSG v OM game yesterday and Guen has an ability that NO ONE at Arsenal has. You all know how annoying Neymar is with his play acting and trying to get players booked. Well Guen got the better of him yesterday got him carded and close to a second card even though there was nothing in it. Neymar was so furious that his team mates had to drag him away from the ref. Tell me who at Arsenal has that in his locker to get into players heads on the pitch, NO ONE. So no wonder that he… Read more »

Valid point Killroy…if one of the supposed accomplishments of our present managerial reign is that he’s orchestrated massive changes culturally-speaking, then it seems only logical to ask why we would need to seek professional help from outside the organization in that regards…now of course this might prove to be an erroneous account, but why would this be reported in any capacity if there wasn’t some question or concerns surrounding the previously propagated notion that “cultural” improvements” have been made, after all, there’s so many other negative talking points that any journalist could delve into if they were trying to just… Read more »

Danny S or should I say Danny, you don’t need to have that many world experiences to know that what you posted could be deeply disturbing to anyone with children or an empathetic bone in their respective bodies…you on the other hand are clearly an unthinking piece of sh**, who even in the face of all the rather obvious evidence, actually suggested that I’m the one who should have a rethink…for a normal person, this could have been easily solved by you simply owning your shit and reversing course, instead you doubled-down on stupid, which clearly is your strong suit…good… Read more »

for the love of God, there simply can’t be two equally ignorant Danny’s on this blog…your comment is in poor taste, truthful or otherwise, and you should be embarrassed that you even entered the fray…you would be wise to not embark on some senseless trolling expedition when the stakes in question are so high

Not trolling. It seemed to me like a matter of fact comment taken in context entirely from that comment alone. Some people literally do not see the other side of that particular argument. I might look at it and think ooh that’s a bit blunt. I certainly wouldn’t attack someone for it because they didn’t see it from my specific point of view, or even the perceived ‘standard’ point of view. Taken from the comment alone, it didn’t seem abusive or like it was trying to draw a negative response. Of course Danny can correct me if I’m wrong, he… Read more »

In today’s game the way you try to get into the Refs and players head is most crucial. Guen has just such an innocent baby face with those curly locks the EPL Refs will be easily game for him, he is very street smart and a little shit, that is why Arteta lost it in more then one way.

I specifically constructed my first comment in just such a way that if it was determined that I was wrong with my assumptions I would owe him an apology for any potential misrepresentation on my part…the fact that he functionally doubled-down in his subsequent response, even though my experiences and my concerns with the possible intent of his original post were made obvious, spoke volumes about the very real possibility that he was chuffed by the notion of Ronaldo missing the game due to the death of his infant child…it’s called reading between the lines and/or making logically-deduced inferences, which… Read more »

Vieira

His second comment backs up his first.

It was a fact, devoid of emotion or sentiment.

Some people are like that.

My son, when he learnt his Grandma had died, who he loved very much just said ‘at least she’s not in pain anymore’ then he got on with his life. Nothing else.

Different strokes Vera.

If your narrow little mind can’t see that then that’s your problem.

You obviously haven’t spent much time noticing that we arnt all neurotypical.

But you continue ripping into random strangers with 4 letter insults if it makes you feel better.
