Arsenal FC | 2022/23 Season

[Amjid Javed]

3 points in it now. With Arsenal due at the Emirates.

1-0 already City v Leis

City will be going for as many goals as possible tonight to extend their goal difference.

I can see city winning all their remaining games, so it's down to Arsenal to some how get a point at the Eithad.

I agree, City are finding their best form at the business end of the league!

I'd be shocked if you beat City but its possible.

We won't beat City, best we can hope for is a draw. They are hammering teams to the point where they can just rest players in 2nd half of games. I think they will rest some players for Sheffield utd semi final, so that they are fresh for Arsenal game.

Arsenal have two win two games before they play city.

Yep, half time Haaland, Stones and Rodri subbed. They will stay fresh esp as they are 3 zip against Bayern.

I think they will start their preferred XI in the FA cup. Reason - Treble is on for City.

I wouldnt be too sad as a Gooner, unless you're Mamoon, great season overall.

Trophyless season is a failure, the club played less then full strength teams and went out of cups to focus on league, so having done that the club needs to win the league now.

Yes that was very amateurish by Arteta. You have city breathing down your necks, who are seasoned champions with a huge squad full of quality and you rest players for the league when you can win a European trophy?

What was he thinking?

Seems like a lovely chap and we LFC fans really appreciate him and the club for their heartfelt behaviour regarding the Hillsborough disaster but as a coach, very naive.

Since winning the FA Cup in his 1st season. The Cup exits in every other season have been pretty shameful and not acceptable. Last season the cups exits were supposedly to help finish top 4, which club didn't achieve. This season its so we can focus on league. No one remembers 2nd or 3rd place finishes etc.. Big clubs are judged on what they win. All eggs in one basket again this season, last season it was egg on faces for club with its failures.

 

[Amjid Javed]

2-0 up after 10 mins

Jesus and oddegard. Need to go for kill now, unlike last weekend

 

[Amjid Javed]

1-2 benhrama penalty. Stupid foul to give away

 

[Amjid Javed]

Arsenal losing control of game after concededing there. Need to keep ball better.

 

[Saj]

Partey very sloppy these last few minutes.

Putting his team under pressure.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Half time, good first 30 mins and then stupid goal given away when in control.

Arsenal need a 3rd goal in 2nd half as west ham look like they could score again.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Awful penalty by saka puts it wide.

West ham then equalise. Arsenal bottling it here.

2-2

 

[Amjid Javed]

2nd game in a row bottled a 2-0 lead when on control, that saka penalty miss is huge now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Repeat on Anfield game, Arsenal losing control of game and midfield has gone missing again.

 

[Saj]

Why didn't Jesus take the penalty?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Saka's decision making in this game has been atrocious *

 

[Amjid Javed]

Why didn't Jesus take the penalty?

Don't know, it's end up being hugely costly now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Not watching atm .

Can someone pls explain who Jesus was taken off ? Injury ?

Poor from Arsenal but still time for redemption

 

[Saj]

I guess nursing Jesus back from injury.

 

[The_KING]

Arsenal lack of experience showing once again. Throwing away a 2-0 lead in back to back matches.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Not watching atm .

Can someone pls explain who Jesus was taken off ? Injury ?

Poor from Arsenal but still time for redemption

Still not natch fit enough to play 90 minutes

Once again midfield and defence has been poor and let team down when 2-0 up.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I don’t know but if Jesus was still running he must stay , the only genuine goalscorer when you need a must goal for the ultimate glory . Crazy decision

 

[Saj]

Missed Saliba again today at the back.

Saka went missing after the first few minutes.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Man city will win league comfortably now. Arsenal now need to win at the EIthad which isn't going to happen.

Saka's worst game of season.

Partey, xhaka and oddegard were shambolic again after 30 mins. All 3 went missing.

Bottled the title

 

[topspin]

Title race over. It's been a good season but we were never favourites. Unless we can beat City at the Etihad we don't deserve to win the league.

Saka has had a shocker. He's been brilliant all season but has had a stinker today.

Arsenal took the foot off the gas and got complacent after leading 2-0. I can't see them recovering mentally after this.

 

[IMMY69]

Worst I've seen Saka play.
Slow, taking too much time and not taking the right decisions.

Partey lost it after Rice took the ball from him.

All in all, has to be our worst game of the season. Two nil up and then to draw it will have huge mental implications going forward from here.

If Antonio can bully our defence I dread to think what Halland is going to do to them.

Jesus also has to stop falling over like a sack of potatoes everything he gets touched.

On the bright side, we're at least still on course for CL football next season

 

[Amjid Javed]

Arsenal won have got a better chance to win title then this season. Midfield needs massive upgrades in summer. It's obvious saliba is out for season and club is pretending that he's going to be some how fit again this season.

When it was needed most the captain and other senior players were no where to be found.

 

[IMMY69]

On another note, if we don't win the title which we probably won't, the sole blame goes to one poster... Mamoom.
Karma

I'm sure certain posters will go into hiding now, or will come out with a load of other excuses while he's wiping egg of his face

 

[Amjid Javed]

One player who will be gone is ESR, 2 games running he's not be used as a sub when we have needed a goal, clearly obvious Arteta doesn't want to use him as an impact sub.

Our midfield has huge questions on why it's lost control 2nd game running

 

[IMMY69]

I'm sure certain posters will go into hiding now, or will come out with a load of other excuses while he's wiping egg of his face

Such a ridiculous prediction.
She clearly knows nothing about the sport to have made that prediction.
You only have to follow the last two seasons to see how Man City pulled them back and their squad strength is on a different level. Knowing this how can anyone say it was in the bag?

I know Partey was terrible but he's had a good season and makes the team on merit as he's a world class DM.

This where you need Xhaka to step up but he lacks quality. He's not good enough to be playing at this level

One has to wonder as to why on earth are Zinchenko and Xhaka starting for Arsenal ahead of Tierney and Jorgino.

He can take that bag and put it on his head.

We needed to go into Eithad game with a cushion where we could afford to lose the game, instead it's now must win. We still have to go to Newcastle as well.

On a side note Rice was excellent today.

 

[MenInG]

Arsenal feel the pressure after excellent start

Arsenal are now unbeaten in nine games since a 3-1 home loss to City, but Arteta will see this as two points dropped and wonder how they did not gain the victory.

Just as they did at Anfield a week ago, they missed chances to wrap up the game only to concede twice. They are wobbling in their bid to become English champions for the 14th time and the first since Arsene Wenger's 'Invincibles' went a league season without losing in 2003-04.

For the opening half-hour Arsenal's football was a joy to watch as they overpowered West Ham and looked to have wrapped up the three points with relative ease, with Jesus scoring his fourth goal in three matches before Odegaard added a second three minutes later.

Thomas Partey then sloppily lost possession to Declan Rice and that led to the penalty which gave West Ham hope and changed the course of the match.

However, even after Bowen's equaliser, Arsenal still had opportunities to get a winning goal.

Jesus narrowly missed getting a touch on Kieran Tierney's cross before two chances in the last three minutes, but Saka headed wide before Rob Holding's header was saved by ex-Gunner Lukasz Fabianski.

 

[MenInG]

As a true Arsenal fan AJ, I expect better from you bro.

We're at least four players short at the moment.
CB
Right wing
CM
Striker

All these are needed this summer especially we want to compete in the cups including the CL.

Not squad players but top quality players

 

[IMMY69]

I know your message was directed at AJ.
But when a certain poster goes on about the title being in the bag and makes himself out to be some oracle then he deserves to be called out on it.

Arsenal fans are passionate and like any proper fan of a football team, shouldn't have to take such nonsense.

Yes AJ can be too negative but today is the day when City became firm favourites to win the league.

I think we need 2 x CBs (as squad players) because not only Holding is a liability but that Kiwior looks trash.

Also to add your list we need another RB because Tomiyasu is too injury prone and I also feel he's been found out this season.

Agreed
I would propose Ollie Watkins for the strikers position.
He's 27 and on fire currently.

Right now I'm fuming at bottling league title after the club sacrificed cups again this season. Same was done last year when club bottled top 4 and went out of cups on poor fashion.

A Trophyless season is a failure

 

[ssuhaide]

Arsenal fans love reminding us of how Tottenham are the bottle job champions but last season and now the last two games it looks as though Arsenal are choking.

Tomyassu needs to be moved on he can't stay fit.

Xhaka needs to go as well, Partey needs to be phased out slowly so we need 2 midfielders in summer.

I agree we need top quality players now and need to stop signing mediocre back ups like tavares, lakonga, Vieira etc..

 

[IMMY69]

Since the inception of PL
17 years of consecutive CL football including reaching a final.
Multiple Premier league titles
Invincibles
Multiple FA cup titles...

2022
Very young team and no Jesus, Saliba or Zinchenko.

April 2023
Still fighting for the title.
Fantastic CB, amazing crop of young, talented midfielders who are growing season after season.


I think Tottenham have a long long way to go before their fans can start calling Arsenal bottlers.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Have to feel sorry for Saka, lovely young lad and hugely talented. Another huge penalty miss in the context of winning a trophy after his England miss. Its not his fault, its the managers. When you are 2-0 up away going for the title, you ensure all your players are behind the ball when defending and keep the ball when in possession.

Anfield was understandable but West Ham have been poor everywhere.

I think the players are mentally done now too. Away to City could be a mauling.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I am with you on that but if you had told me at the start of this season that we would be in the running to win the title, I would have laughed at you

Depends how view things at the club, so many fans have just blindly followed the "clubs targets" and base their expectations on that.

Last season we bottled top 4, clubs target was get back into europe (which technically you can do finishing 7th)

So last season I saw it as failure as it was trophyless and we bottled Top 4, some fans called it progress.

This season clubs target were Top 4 and europa league.

The way I view its any manager who is in charge of Arsenal for over 3 year should be challenging titles. Arsenal doesn't sack managers like other clubs, at same time if your in charge of a big club Arsenal, Liverpool, Man city, Chelsea and Man u then 3 years is sufficent to see a title challenge.

Yet so many fans will go to default setting "oh Top 4 was only the target" "we weren't expected to win league"

For me that's a loser mentality.

Add to that 2nd season running to sacrifice cups for league position, and to then fail on league position is failure.

A trophyless season from here is a failure. Let's be real the CL next season Arsenal will be just making up the numbers, so qualifying for it is not a success.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I am with you on that but if you had told me at the start of this season that we would be in the running to win the title, I would have laughed at you

Arsenal were never in the running, City were sleeping and Liverpool having a mental meltdown after coming so close to the Quad last season, allowed Arsenal to win , gain confidence and go on a run. City have the squad, the manager, the experience. It was only a matter of time before they gained some great form to go on their consistent long winning runs.

Nice of Arsenal to be the pacemaker for a while, as they are in long distance running. Should help the team grown next season to secure 4th with others being stronger.

Interesting a certain poster called Martinelli a bottle job, mentally weak after his penalty miss vs sporting lisbon in shoot out.

Let's see if he calls Saka a bottle job in same way.

For me both players are young and still learning and have a long way to go before reaching any sort of peak.

City sleep and liverpools so called melt down has nothing to do with points total Arsenal amassed before the Liverpool game.

City barring there 100 points season, are on the same sort of points mark they usually are after 29/30 games.

Arsenal have been excellent for 3/4 of the season, sadly the lack of quality in overall squad and lack of title run in experience is what will ultimately cost them.

If you think Liverpool are in just a one season slump?

Your entire midfield needs an over haul and defensively your a shambles, let's be real FSG ain't going to spend the sort of money you need to rebuild quickly.

Being in the CL attracts the better players.
So it is crucial.

It maybe three years since Arteta took over, but he had some very expensive deadwood in the squad that he offloaded successfully and you can't deny that the football we've been playing has been superb. So there is definitely progression, the Emirates has not been so electric in a long time (if ever), not to mention he got lucky with an FA Cup win so he hasn't been trophyless.

This is why I am prepared to wait and see which players they bring in this summer and how they do next season.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Man city look solid from back to front right now, plus they have a manager who has kicked the players earlier in season for being complacent and now has got them all hungry and firing.

Arsenal in last 2 games have show arrogance at 2-0 up and allowed teams back in, that's where big game mentality is lacking. Arsenal players should be hungry for success, instead they have got carried away and lost focus at wrong stage of season.

Also the number of chances team is conceding continues to be an issues. No saliba means playing out from back isn't as good, Partey has been pretty poor in quite a few games this year and when he plays badly, we have zero control in midfield

 

[The_KING]

I am worried that Saka will get abuse on social media like he did when he missed the penalty for England

These players should avoid social media after a bad result. But many of them come up with some nonsensical statements where they are apologising to the fans. Just stay away from social media for a few days.

Arsenal double down on audacious striker raid after current forward turns his back on Arteta

Arsenal aren’t giving up on a striker raid from within the Premier League that looks difficult to make, and it’s importance has been heightened following a worrying update on a current forward, per reports.

The Gunners forward line is already filled to the brim with explosive talent. Mikel Arteta has at least two dependable assets for every position, something that’s contributed to Folarin Balogun wanting out.

Indeed, the Daily Mail recently reported Balogun – who’s currently thriving on loan at French side Reims – won’t accept another loan exit next year.

The Athletic reported he’s also reluctant to sign a new contract, while the Times claimed it’s ‘likely’ Arsenal will listen to offers over a permanent exit given they’re backed into a corner.

A fresh update from Football Insider revealed there is still one ray of hope regarding Balogun making it at the Emirates. However, that’s reliant on being guaranteed first-team minutes next term and that’s a near-impossible demand to meet given the presence of Gabriel Jesus.

Takes years to build such units.

 

[Saj]

Still not over yet. You never know.

What is evident now is Arsenal's lack of squad depth. Earlier in the season they were fine when there were no injuries but now with the likes of Saliba injured the backup options are nowhere near good enough.

Also the likes of Saka probably need a rest, but again the backup players don't appear to be there in the squad.

Technically if Arsenal were to get a point at Eithad and win all their other games they would win the league.

However that would mean Arsenal having to win away to Newcastle as well.

The last 2 games after 30 mins in each, Arsenal have created very little and conceded tons of chances so problem is right now Arsenal don't look like a team that can win vast majority of games left

Man city have won 28 out of their last 30 PL home games. Also have beaten Arsenal 12 games in a row in PL.

The way Arsenal are playing right now City will beat Arsenal with ease at the eithad. A draw would be a miracle.

Yes, Liverpool will finish higher than Arsenal next season. We are nowhere near our level and you higher than ever dreamed, yet you only won 3-2 at home after a late soft pen and were lucky in the end to walk away with a point from Anfield. LFC have messed up against the lower teams.

Arsenal wont get a better chance to win until 2030.

Lol imagine thinking this is a one season slump. The delusion )

Your team needs a massive rebuild, but your owners don't have money to spend. That is why they wanted to sell. But nobody wanted to buy Liverpool, when a bigger club Man United went on sale too.

Good luck trying to raise funds to sign overrated ballers like Mount & Gallagher. Your club is finished.

Guys

this thread for Arsenal ONLY

Thanks

 

[Amjid Javed]

Oddegard needs to shut and stop making statements after games. I understand Arteta making them as he's the Manager. 2nd game running Arsenal have lost control of a game after 30 mins and shown zero control, lack of creativity for rest of the game. If your going to dissappear when going gets tough, bottle 50:50 tackles then you shouldn't be captain of the team.

I guarantee the man city game he will go missing as well. No wonder the team is not doing what they supposes to when captain himself can't lead by example. Running around shouting at others isn't captaincy. Proper leaders lead from front on the pitch.

Partey also seem mentally weak. One mistake today and afterwards he's running around like a headless chicken.

Our midfield had done well this season but when it comes to the crunch as a unit its not an elite midfield trio, nor are ant of the 3 elite individuals

Lol enjoy your 7 Up Trophy. That is the only thing you will win this season.

The funny thing is after beating us, you went and lost to Bournemouth, who are known as the Cherries. You had 7 Up one week and then Cherry Coke the next. )

Go and watch highlights of your premier league winning campaign. It shouldn't take you long, as you only won one premier league title.

Out out respect for the thread, lets stick to Arsenal but we will entertain this in the pre-season thread soon.


Final thoughts on today.

No point having heads down too much for the Gooners. Keep going , you never know in sport.

Jarrod Bowen's equaliser for West Ham saw them draw 2-2 with an Arsenal side that had been two goals ahead after 10 minutes
"We have to remember we are still top of the league with everything in our own hands."

While some Arsenal fans will be despondent and some pundits will write off their hopes of becoming Premier League champions after twice throwing away two-goal leads in a week, Gunners captain Martin Odegaard is staying positive.

Everything looked rosy for Arsenal after only 10 minutes of their game on Sunday at London Stadium against a struggling West Ham side.

Gabriel Jesus had opened the scoring after only seven minutes, with Odegaard's volley making it two as the Gunners looked set to restore their six-point advantage at the top of the Premier League.

But, just as they did seven days ago at Anfield against Liverpool, 2-0 to the Arsenal early on became 2-2 at full-time.

Said Benrahma's penalty, after poor play from firstly Thomas Partey and then Gabriel, gave West Ham hope, Gunners forward Bukayo Saka fired his own spot-kick wide and Jarrod Bowen scored an equaliser soon after in a Premier League thriller.

Even Gunners manager Mikel Arteta admitted his side should have secured the three points.

"Very disappointing," said the Spaniard. "The way we started was superb again, we were in total control, then we lost purpose.

"We gave them hope, conceded a terrible penalty, then credit to them. We got on the rollercoaster where everything is going, corners and throw-ins, and we never got away from that.

"The purpose we needed for the third and fourth goal, I didn't see it."

'Don't let the doubt creep in'

As Odegaard says, Arsenal are still clear at the top, by four points, but reigning champions Manchester City have a game in hand and, with Erling Haaland breaking goalscoring records every week, Pep Guardiola's side are looking unstoppable as they chase down a potential fifth title in six seasons.

It is now 10 wins in a row for City in all competitions as they push to win the treble of Premier League, FA Cup and the long-term target of the Champions League.

City entertain Arsenal at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, 26 April and if the Gunners lose will then need Guardiola's team, who also have a better goal difference, to drop points in their remaining matches.

Arsenal are aiming to become English champions for the first time since Arsene Wenger's 'Invincibles' of 2003-04, who won the title without losing a league match.

"The key for them now is don't let the doubt creep in," said former England defender Matt Upson on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"The job for Mikel Arteta and his staff is to not allow the players feel down or negative about themselves.

"But the manner of how Arsenal lost that two-goal lead will be a concern for Arteta, who looked a bit of a dejected figure, understandably.

"You have to keep winning and this fixture was a massive opportunity - they started brilliantly but they've just let it slip away again. What that means for them psychologically moving forward is going to be interesting to see.

"They are still in a great position - you have to maintain that mentality, you have to keep believing, that's the job for Arsenal at the moment and they have to keep it rolling on."

Arsenal face 'mental resilience' questions

Arsenal gave up a two-goal lead in consecutive Premier League games for the first time and became only the fifth side in the competition's history to do so.

Arteta challenged his players to focus better on the whole 90 minutes, saying his team were "too comfortable, just playing around them".

He added: "When a team is there [for the taking], you have to take that opportunity. We gave them hope.

"Every single game, you really have to be at your best [for the whole game], you have to really earn it.

"Every team is fighting for what they want, 30 minutes [of playing well] is not enough."

Former striker Chris Sutton, a Premier League title winner with Blackburn, feels Arsenal could end up regretting their 2-2 draws with Liverpool and West Ham.

He said: "The question to Arsenal fans is 'was today the day where their title dream ended?'

"I'm really surprised Arteta used that language 'we were too comfortable at 2-0 up'.

"For Arsenal to squander, in the last two games, two-goal leads, you have to question whether they have that mental resilience to go on and win the title now.

"Of course it is still in their hands but the way Manchester City have been in previous seasons, we know they are capable of going on big runs.

"I suspect the Arsenal players would have sat in the dressing room at the end of the game and there will be that doubt that is really kicking in.

"It must filter through the fanbase as well because they were in such a good position. And it's not like they have come from behind in the last couple of games - they have squandered two-goal leads and I think that could really hurt them."

Dunno what the players are thinking? seems a mental issue.

Ive noticed (not reffering to the forum) there is an awful lot of Arsenal fans who become very emotional after a bad result or two. The mood in the stadium changes, home or away and this puts pressure on the players. The pundits dont help either. The other week Saka was constantly being asked 'will you win the league' , 'what if you fail now after being ahead' etc. Arsenal have a lot of young players who need experience this situation. The fans should stick with them, be loud in support and wait until the end of the season to criticise harshly.

The Wenger out crowd are still around. Arsenal greatest manager but was humiliated by the fans.

I am surprised that Rob Holding still plays for Arsenal. A championship defender at best. Saliba's injury has been a massive blow for Arsenal.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Not a great couple of results for Arsenal but I don't agree that the title is over, far from it

City I think will drop points and that's the mindset Arsenal need to have, the game at the Etihad will be massive, at that stage Arsenal will be 7 points ahead of City having played 2 games more and a draw will be enough (though they shouldn't play for the draw)

City do have a great squad but games for them will be coming thick and fast and Pep is always liable to do something daft

I still think Arsenal win it, just

Which games do you think City may drop points? Im not disagreeing , would just like your view.

Also will Arsenal be able to beat Brighton and Newcastle?

Arteta post match looked down.

Almost as if, inside he knows the title race is over now.

Brighton and Brentford away are not easy games, then there is the game with Arsenal

For Arsenal it's obviously the City game and ourselves that are where they could drop points

The fact manager went back to having to shout at players and micro manage them shows how mentally weak squad is.

Add to that I don't think the squad believe they can beat Man city, and that is one of reasons they won't win the league.
