Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

Thats if its true. Most reports say he will be out for a month.

Even still, I think he will be hard for Mudaryk, and if we get him which we may, given there will be extra motivation, I anticipate Martinelli could be used centrally. Saka, Mudaryk, Martinelli front three can be an option

Jesus will be a loss for sure. But its not like we rely on him for goals. Our goals have been pretty evenly distributed across Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard, Xhaka, Jesus with the two big centre halfs Saliba and Gabriel pitching in with two each. Jesus hasnt scored since Brentford in game week 7 and we have been fine as far as results and goal threat.

Rival fans again underestimating Arsenal. So if your shocked and stunned by our start to the season, take this advice - there is every chance we continue to perform at a high level picking up results even without Jesus

Like I said, Mudaryk if we sign him can be an option with Martinelli central. Smith Rowe will return and he can play on the left with Martinelli central. Nketiah is an underrated player who offers more directness than Jesus as a classic centre forward.

'Will Arsenal collapse without HeyZues' is such a Gary Neville cliche.

I agree. I posted some time ago that Arteta’s team is much more resilient than what went before. I expect Arsenal to stay the course, with their championship hopes dashed only by losing to us!

Thats right. Man City invented a brand of football that has been taught at Barcelona for decades. Although as good as the football is at City, still falls well short of what Barcelona offered up when they were at thier peak.

Arteta also spent more time with Wenger and at Arsenal. Seems anyone good whoever spent anytime at City no matter how short, gets claimed as a Citizen.

You guys still consider Patrick Vieira one of your own, dont you?

Bitter Tarquin?

We can't use the argument when Jesus stops scoring that he brings so much more to the attack than goals (which is true), and then say we won't miss him when he's injured.

He'll be a massive loss if he's out for 3 months, there's no point in denying otherwise.

You seem to have come in here and went on the defensive straight away when no one has went on the offensive?

Lol so you’re saying Arteta’s style is closer to Wenger than Pep? And where did I compare us to Barca? Though Pep is the constant in both so thanks for proving my point. Enjoy Arteta, Zinch and Jesus, who have transfomed you into title contenders because of their time with us. Just as we enjoyed Adebayor and Nasri., especially that goal that sent you lot fucking mental.

Big loss for Arsenal, if true.

I've always felt that Gabby has been unlucky with injuries though. He's never had anything too serious but generally gets a few small ones each season.

Jesus has never been a prolific scorer. What he does bring and you will miss greatly is that he leads the pressing from the front. Causes panic in the opposition defence and others usually benefit from this.

Jog on you sad fuck....you will always be remembered as the main one of the Hateful Eight....jealous wanker.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Whats he talking about, we have lots of legends besides Patrick. Lampard, Burridge, Isco, Kante, Weah Santa Cruz....

You are going to miss Jesus so much.

Hes the one that starts the press and links midfield to attack, he's vital to your system. His workrate and technical ability as well as link up is probably up there with the best players in the world. He doesn't fit Brazils system and that's why he doesn't start for Brazil, they play with a poacher which Richarlison is brilliant at.

But for Arsenal hes in a perfect system that plays to his strengths there's a reason your manager wanted him so badly in the summer. Im not underestimating you but losing a vital cog to a system is going to take some time to get used to. Jesus is key to your pressing and putting pressure on the opposition

It's funny, but I clearly remember people saying that Pep's style of football 'would not work in England'.

Now, parse that as you like, but it strongly suggests that Pep's style was an innovation on this island and therefore that City were the first to deploy it in England/the UK.

It's also pretty obvious that others have since sought to copy the style. Fair-dos. There are no patents as to styles of football. I think we can all agree that kick-and-rush is on the way out. Even though some teams are still that way inclined.
