Arsenal FC | 2024/25 Season

Your new manager has a serious job on his hands. As most united players usually turn up for few 1st games for a new manager before reverting to type. United won't be back for a while until your squad is fully taken apart, then built a fresh.
Bhai Jaan, I'm Brentford! 😜
 
City are still capable of winning 15/16 in a row . Liverpool are capable of losing 4/5 matches . Arsenal can also win 10+ in a row .

It’s also very competitive this season for top 4 .
Stop deflecting the pressure off Liverpool

You should beat Southampton.

Also city record at Anfield isn't great.

11 points clear of city. At start of December. Regardless of how good city have been in last, that sort of gap ain't being pulled back

But Liverpool can also collapse like last season. Bar city, other teams don't really have the killer experience of being efficient in a Title run in, hence for me it's wide open. Infact, you cannot rule Chelsea out, they have a brilliant squad of players.

lol what pressure .

No body expected Liverpool to win the league this season . Arsenal fans a were suggesting it’s a top 4 race at best .

City are still a great side , KDB is back , they will buy in Jan too . City are more than capable of winning the league. Sure if 11 points clear by the end of next Monday , Liverpool have a great chance & should at the min be close in may .

Arsenal had a good win but squad isn’t strong enough to win any major trophy this season. I agree to this

Liverpool have Allision, VVD, Trent, salah, Robertson etc.. who have won a PL title and been in title races. So they have vital experience, but also its in key players that are vital to Liverpool team.

Liverpool are huge favourites now

Doesn't matter if Liverpool were expected to win league. Let's not act like your squad is poor. You were in a title race last season as well.

Don't start this excuse "that you weren't expected to challenge" so if u fail its ok. That's a losers mentality

Arteta is 5 years in , Pep nearly 10 .

When was the last time a manager won the PL in his FIRST Season?

If Klopp was here after his rebuild last season with this squad I’d agree & expect us to win it or be very close .
 
Seem like they are trying to out do each other with most failed and comical predictions

I think it would be better to have 2 x Arsenal threads:

  • Arsenal Comedy Thread - for trolls and anyone who wants to spew nonsense
  • Arsenal Football Thread - for anyone who wants to have a genuine discussion about Arsenal’s football
 
Mate if there's one lesson we've learnt from the last two seasons is that it is never over until it's over.

Agreed. I still think Arsenal are in the title race even though Liverpool will be 9 points clear, assuming they beat Southampton, which I think they will.

It’s important for Arsenal to accumulate 40 points at the halfway stage. That’s what they did last season.

They will then need to get 50+ points from the second half of fixtures if they want to win it. Last season they managed to get 49 points from the second half and they managed to get 50 points from the first 19 games during the 22/23 season.

This is why I’m not writing Arsenal off just yet.

40 points after 19 games means essentially winning 6 out the next 7 games. All below fixtures are winnable, but the 4 away London derbies won't easy and we've seen in last 2 seasons certain London derbies have end up killing momentum.

Also these good runs the team has had over a 19 game period. Also has seen the other 19 games littered with problems. Chelsea are improving quickly. Arsenal have to get ahead of Man city and Liverpool. This isn't now a case of trying to chase one team down.

When this team isn't expected to win anything, they put a run together, as soon as pressure goes to you should or are expected to win something they choke.

Rebuild season? Stop talking nonsense. The Liverpool squad does not need a rebuild, at most it needs a few new signings at best. All klopp did was refresh your Midfield, that's not a rebuild

You think any manager coming in after Pep or Arteta is going to have to rebuild? No there not, it will be a case of taking an inherited squad and doing well it.

All your doing is using excuse because, your scared of the banter of Liverpool blow it from position they are in currently

Getting 40 points will be tough but it's doable given the run of fixtures coming up. Hardest game will be the home game to United.

This has been the problem, they've only been able to maintain this level for half a seaosn. In the 22/23 season, Arsenal could be excused for it because they had Holding as cover for Saliba. No team is ever going to win the league with a Championship standard defender.

During the first half of last season, Arteta messed up with the Havertz experiment in midfield. Having said that, he still could've won it against Villa but for some reason he took them lightly and played a weaker team. Last season was a missed opportunity and that's on the manager.

Away trips will Fulham, Palace and Brentford will also test Arsenal's resolve.

Liverpool do have to play Man city, Everton, Newcastle, spurs next month so could drop points, but so will Arsenal and CIty.

All team now are playing 3 games a week up until February at least. Arsenal biggest issues has always been squad management or lack of it when in multiple competitions.

Plus no winter break this season, so there will be no time to take team away and work on Things. This is where manager earns his high wages or see you later and get a better manager in to get team over the line.

The fact that Timber struggles to play 2 games a week at moment, White is our and tomiyassu can't be depended on will cause an issue defensively at somepoint and won't be shocked if more players get injured through poor squad mismanagement.

Right now Arsenal just need to focus on game by game, that means getting something away to sporting on tuesday

Klopp was rebuilding & this was his season to win it .

A new manger means new regime , style, tactics etc . Players need time to adapt.

So far …so good :salah

City can beat Liverpool & win 15 in a row . A long way to go .

Such stats are meaningless as larger leads have been lost with less points to play for … esp overhauled by this city team . Modern era is very different
 
This is going to be pure drama.

It's either going to be an amazing legendary level 1st season for Slot where he levels Klopps PL count in his 1st season. Nothing but respect if he does.

Or it's going to be thee greatest bottle of job in PL history if Liverpool don't win from here.

Sit back and enjoy the ride guys

Yep I've seen similar leads evaporate in a blinker of a eye, but reality is , 10 point lead over city by December and you don't go on and win it will be classed as a bottle job.
 
Slot is actually proving that Klopp was overrated and greatly underachieved with Liverpool. He was a media darling due to his personality.

Slot isn’t a media tool. He just goes about his business with little words and drama. Liverpool have struck gold with him, although the coming years will be more challenging with the likes of Salah, VVD, Trent etc. leaving.
 
City is finished and this is why Pep signed a new contract. Rodri’s injury has damaged them big time, but it is an aging squad that needs to be refreshed. Pep knows this group is done and he has to rebuild before he can leave, he doesn’t want to leave the club in transition.

Arsenal’s season is over thanks to ridiculous injuries and referring incompetence. They might go on a run now but it is too late. Those who say that missing one 1-2 players is not a big deal should look at how much City have stuttered without Rodri in spite of spending billions.

Some players like Rodri and Odegaard etc. are too difficult for their respective teams to replace in spite of spending money and having depth, so anyone who think Arsenal fans shouldn’t use the injuries excuse should be looking at City and keeping their mouths shut.

Congratulations to Liverpool for winning the Premier League. Perhaps the likes of Salah and Trent deserved to win one more league title before they leave the club.

Arsenal will be raring to go next and ready to fight again. There is no doubt that Arteta will win the league one day.
 
So City after 4 titles in a row are having a drop off.

Yet a certain cheerleader is acting like Arsenal are in a similar dip.

City have won trophies galore, Arsenal haven't in last 4 seasons.

Crying about referees and injuries again.

Rather then calling out the manager, poor recruitment and a rubbish summer transfer window.

Mr 115 execuse, will keep back peddling after his nonsense claims.

100% Liverpool fans now rolling out the "rebuild" , "new manager" we weren't expected to challenge excuse to try and hide behind if they bottle it

Arsenal were 8 points clear with far less points to play, not sure how this can be a bigger bottle job with.

Liverpool fans are enjoying the ride. Rather be in this position where others think in Nov the league is won, when in reality nothing is won with over 70 points to play for.

Wow! lol

Arteta after 5 years spending a fortune is at no fault? Its all because of refs and injuries?

We know you're the biggest fan of Michael Arteta but im not sure if you are aware but in high level football, the manager is responsible for the lack of silverware and failure to win any after given so much time and money.

From 2 in 3 years, now its ONE DAY he will win it lol.

When were Arsenal 8 points clear? after how many games was it? I have blanked that season out of my memory.

From what I do recall it was 8 points but City had a game in hand. So was essentially 5 points.

Which was What Liverpool were last season - with EVEN less games. So lets not go there.
 
100% Liverpool fans now rolling out the "rebuild" , "new manager" we weren't expected to challenge excuse to try and hide behind if they bottle it
EXACTLY!!!

When in fact they are not realising that opposition fans are actually complimenting them by saying that they should now win the league.

I'm just saying..... if they DONT win it. WE WILL BE HERE

City aslo have to play LFC twice, win both and its only 2 points to play. There are always variables but having a lead with LESS matches to play is far better than having a lead with so many points to play for esp if you've not faced the closest rivals at all yet. Its not even a 1/3 into the season.

Tbf Arsenal fans should really be spending their time trying to figure out what has gone wrong for their team and their manager, after spending a fortune and 5 years of planning. It seems almost all are trying to ignore this.

Wow so now you are comparing what would would be biggest bottle job?

Should we bring up slippy G? Suarez crying?

Anfield 89?

If Arsenal were 11 points clear at start of Dec and failed to win league I would be calling it bottling.

Seems your scared of backing your team and making excuses still.

Unless Arsenal win, surely you cant get satisfaction with LFC not winning , when every Arsenal fan, Tom Dick and Michael had Arsenal winning the league nailed on?

As an LFC fan, if my team dont win it, I dont care who does or not.

Spurs are playing well, Chelsea are up there too. The truth is LFC are ahead but this league is wide open.

But I have to give you credit for not blaming Refs and injuries like Mamoon. How embarrassing to go there so early. :wenger

If LFC dont win , it will make you happy Areta has blown a fortune and after 5 years have won nothing at all?

I back my team in every match we play. However Im a football supporter not an armchair fan. Reality is City can win many games in a row.

Arsenal did bottle it last two seasons, LFC have bottled it in the past.

You'd rather bottle or not cross the line than struggle to finish top 4.

MANY ARSENAL fans ,(AFTV) believe Arsenal are still in this. Some on here to and think this LFC diversion to pray in their hearts, LFC lose many points and Arsenal come back into this. But none have the courage to admit it. WHy?

You completely ignored my question.

1. I asked when were Arsenal 8 points clear and whether it was when City had a game in hand

2. If it was indeed 5 points - then Liverpool having a 5 point lead with less games is also a bottle job right? A BIGGER BOTTLE JOB

Again if you bring up evidence to back your claims I am happy to be proven wrong :)

I don't recall at any point saying that we are out of it completely. I think I said Never say Never. However the chances are slim.

As a football fan if you don't have that slim hope deep down that your team may do something then whats the point?

You forgot Anfield 89 bottle job. When all John Barnes had to do was take the ball to corner flag and keep it their.

Imagine bottling title on your own ground, when you had ball in opposition half with 60 seconds to go 🤭🤭

They don't talk about that. The have selective memory when it comes to their history

That pretty much killed their domination in English football 🤭😉 I can see why they have selective Amnesia
 
lol.

There is no argument from me, if Arsenal fans on a forum think LFC bottled it, sure.

Surely you guys should be debating the money spent and the lack of success .

Also to rule your team out in Oct , means with your logic, your great club bottled before Nov?

Arsenal still have Liverpool to play in May. Do you not believe in your team to take 3 points then? Closes the gap? lol

Are you not bored of the constant debating of money spent and lack of success? Or are you just trying to trigger Arsenal fans as usual but when challenged on your points have no answer?

Its Arsenal thread, it seems you guys have not only bottled it but also thrown in the towel after round 1 lol.

It is an Arsenal thread. What do you want?
 
Who bottled it most this season , Arsenal by Oct after spending a fortune with a manager 5 years in charge or LFC ? :)
I think you need to figure out what you mean by bottle. Arsenal have been poor this season Very poor. I don't believe we have been top at any point? We have never been in it to bottle it.

Liverpool are 8 points clear.

Bottle means to lose when ahead or in the lead right?

I mean Arne Slot if he doesn't bottle it will match Klopp's legendary reign in the PL with the same team he had. Klopp bottled it last season in Europa and PL. Where they were expected to win the Europa league and had a lead in the PL with 10 games to go i think. That to me is bottling not having a poor season. That's just classed as a poor campaign.

Anyway bump up the Liverpool thread and we can talk Liverpool on there if you like.

Bottle is not winning the league when you are in a good position.

So according to you , LFC with a new manager 8 points ahead will bottle it if not winning it. But Arsenal who were joint favs after 5 years of building up the team, didnt bottle the league this year ?

You're acting like you're sat in Peshawar now . 👳‍♂️
Where were they joint favourites ( if there is such a thing) . Or is that something else you have plucked out of thin air and now I have challenged you on it you wont be able to evidence.

8 points ahead at this stage - every team has gone on to win. So if liverpool dont then yes its a bottle. Accept it and be positive that you will win it instead of fearing what might happen if you don't. Which is a bottle job.

I understand you don't want to say its "in the bag" like a certain poster did. As I know you don't want to have to hide on cricket forum all summer 2025

Old or New manager don't matter, your 8 points ahead and could 11 ahead of City 1st Dec.

Every PL to have this lead after 12 games has won the PL

Im confident but only a fool says 'its in the bag' or we will win '2 in next 3 years' . :inti

If we beat City on the weekend, ill happily agree its a huge fu if we fail with a 11 point lead against the 4 in a row champions.
 
Arsenal just have to keep winning. They're chasing this time round and with Salah going to Saudi in January, anything can happen.
 
City is finished and this is why Pep signed a new contract. Rodri’s injury has damaged them big time, but it is an aging squad that needs to be refreshed. Pep knows this group is done and he has to rebuild before he can leave, he doesn’t want to leave the club in transition.

Arsenal’s season is over thanks to ridiculous injuries and referring incompetence. They might go on a run now but it is too late. Those who say that missing one 1-2 players is not a big deal should look at how much City have stuttered without Rodri in spite of spending billions.

Congratulations to Liverpool for winning the Premier League. Perhaps the likes of Salah and Trent deserved to win one more league title before they leave the club.

Arsenal will be raring to go next and ready to fight again. There is no doubt that Arteta will win the league one day.

Only league Arteta is winning if he don't win this season is the Scottish league when he gets the chop at Arsenal
 
Yep Scottish league is about Artetas level as a manager

Huge game tonight. Sporting are on fire even after their manager left. Top of their league and 2nd in the CL.

Arsenal are favs acc to the bookies. How do you see this game going? Imo its going to be a cracker for neutrals so I will be watching.

Arsenal record away in CL is abysmal under Arteta

Lens 2-1 (lost)
Seville 2-1 (won)
PSV 1-1 (draw)
Porto 1-0 (loss)
Bayern 1-0 (loss)
Atalanta 0-0 (draw)
Inter 1-0 (loss)

1 goal in last 5 away games, its embarrassing. So if Arsenal get anything from tonight's game it will be a shock.

Sporting Also knocked Arsenal out of the Europa, a few seasons ago with Arteta in charge.

Porto 1-0 (loss)
Bayern 1-0 (loss)
Atalanta 0-0 (draw)
Inter 1-0 (loss)

1 goal in last 5 away games, its embarrassing. So if Arsenal get anything from tonight's game it will be a shock.

Sporting Also knocked Arsenal out of the Europa, a few seasons ago with Arteta in charge.

Sporting have been terrible but credit to Arsenal , very clinical & know how to penetrate the defence with certain ease .

A good solid win coming up . The team needs confidence if it wants to go on a long run . A good continuation after beating Notts comfortably.
 
Arsenal record away in CL is abysmal under Arteta

Lens 2-1 (lost)

Good reverse jinx there :kp
 
What a performance! Best we've seen from Arsenal this season. No reason why this team can't challenge for the CL this season.

Saka and Odegaard were sensational. I also prefer Timber at RB.

Gykores impressed me. I really want Arsenal to sign him.
 
Only league Arteta is winning if he don't win this season is the Scottish league when he gets the chop at Arsenal
Yep Scottish league is about Artetas level as a manager

That's really harsh. It's one thing to say he should be sacked, but this is just OTT.

He hasn't delivered any significant silverware so far with Arsenal but don't write him off just yet.
 
Still in shock with the City result...
Need them to take points from Liverpool this Sunday 🤔

Yep. Scintillating performance that, no doubt.
 
It's there to see that we are a fantastic side when everyone is fit. Our first 11 can compete with anyone.

However to compete for the big prizes you need a squad which unfortunately we haven't addressed.

Anyway that's a discussion for another day.

Great performance by everyone. Partey again gets a special shout out. Timber is so so good.

Trossard showing his best attribute is super sub.

CB locked off their attackers. Saka and Odegaard so good to watch.

If I'm being ultra critical martinelli got his goal but he really needs get better at beating his man. Never looks like going past the full back.
 
I mentioned a few weeks ago before talking about title charges and what we are winning this season we need to learn how to play football again.

Last 2 games we've got our mojo back. It NEEDS to continue

Our bench strength actually looked decent today...
You also have to take into account Califory and Merino are summer purchases and it takes time for them to adjust/settle in... but they're getting better game by game...
It's also Timber's real first season too...

I think the squad is looking stronger but we need to keep Odeguard fit and buy a top top striker if one becomes available... not a Solanki type but a proper goal scorer
 
Arsenal have the same problem as Pakistan cricket - mindset.

Get the mindset right and any opponent can be brushed aside, which is why after tonight's game, I am even more convinced that Arsenal will win the league this season.

5 years in charge in a few weeks and 1 trophy.

It's poch, brendon Rogers level managing

The 11 will be a match for anyone, but unfortunately we are not going to be able to play the 1st 11 every game and In 4 competitions. The squad rotation and squad management always implodes at some point.

One game at a time at moment, west ham next, who have been garbage this season and Arsenal should be looking at giving them a good pasting like last season away.

Mindset will always help a bit more when it comes to fine margins.

But when there is no pressure to win anything, both teams play well without the shackles. Completely different when you get to a position where you have to deliver.

Taking selfies, cutting cakes, setting fireworks off, throwing rotten tomatoes should be done if actual win stuff.

Plenty of strikers available, depends on whether club owners has ambition to pay the asking fees and take a risk on trying to sign players who take the team up a level.

Apart from Rice, Arsenal haven't done that in last few transfer windows.

The longer Arsensl leave signing a striker, the issue will then arise that the midfield needs a rebuild which means more money has to be spent.

How many transfer windows now have you kept saying we need a striker?

Just like Pakistan fans a certain poster gets over excited after 1 Arsenal game and acts like the manager and captain is world class.

He's probably cutting his 🤡🍰🎂 now
 
Odegaard is a player you use your eyes with not stats. Not sure why you feel the need to make comments about his hair?

He is a fantastic fantastic player. Anyone who thinks otherwise cos he hasn't won a trophy shouldn't be questioning someone else ball knowledge. I am not going to take sides in these petty arguments but I wont take any Odegaard slander either.

Peace
 
Imagine having zero ball knowledge and bring up 3 legends of the game and comparing to a ghost.

Zidane won France a world cup and real CL

Bergkamp was one of main reasons Ajaz, inter and Arsenal won trophies. Also turned up in big games.

Iniesta scored on a world cup final

Captain hair flicks

0 goals and assists in last world cup qualifiers, his record in Euro qualifiers just as woeful.

Average record in CL.

Clueless as always

Then again you think havertz and Arteta are world class 🤣

this is a football thread, not comedy thread
