Arsenal FC | 2024/25 Season

Terrible midfield again. Partey only one doing anything.

Merino is useless.. Just runs around very slowly.

If available Arsenals midfield should be Partey Rice and Odegaard.. But Mikel has to shoe horn his signings in. Same at LB. MOTM in the last game dropped to the bench the next.

Not even a shot or any attacking threat...this team is meant to be the closest challengers.. Not at the level they are at the moment I'm afraid.

What's it matter bro. He's probably play Partey RB anyway once Havertz is back to play MF

🤣 probably knowing Arteta 🙈

Jesus is on 4 yellows as well, so if he gets booked today he will miss next game.

The bookings then reset after 19 games.
 
Raya could have easily cost a 2nd goal before it went to 1-1

Does he think he's still playing for Brentford
 
Looking at this game. I think Merino is playing for his height. He is making runs into the box when we get it out wide... Maybe do your midfield job and leave the people up to get the goals.

Or better still..... Sign a striker

Merino Is about as useful as when havertz is used in midfield, a waste of time.

The fact the club has wasted money on Vieira, havertz and Merino in that position and its got progressively worse.

Funnily enough daamsgsard who is in opposition might be someone who would look good in that position for Arsenal

But he doesn't have nice hair....
 
HT 1-1

We need to be careful with long ball over the top. If we conceed another goal over top in this game il be fuming
 
Bees have excellent home form recently .

Arsenal can win this game with a bit more energy but need to score next 20 mins or the pressure may let Brentford with a chance to snatch it .

Not the best watch but intriguing

This is a great game for a purist.. Frank has got them set up brilliantly to be efficient
 
Time to take Califori off. He's the type to do something stupid.

We have 3 players who can play LB on the bench
 
Brentford is a tough place. I wasn't confident but credit to the boys.

Partey MOTM for me. Stood up when we were shaky in the 1st half and put out fires countless times.
 
Had a glance at the table. After Brighton we'll have played all the teams bar Forest and Liverpool at their ground.

No excuses now need a Man City style run to at least be there IF Liverpool slip up. As unlikely as it is

I can't remember if you was you are Topspin who a while back said that target should be 40 points from first 19 games, so we are 1 short of that.

Reality is though we would probably need to win 17 out of the remaining 19, including winning at Forrest, Liverpool etc.. to even get close

Liverpool should have 48 points from 19. So even with a drop off in 2nd half your still looking at a high 80s total.

This is just the first of 9 games this month. But we do have 5 home games in a row, which might help in some competitions
 
'No-one can replace Saka' - but Nwaneri, 17, gives Arsenal hope

No-one can replace him. He is one of the best players in the world."

Gabriel Martinelli's comments about Bukayo Saka are telling as to just how much Arsenal depend on the England winger, how much they will miss him during the months he is absent because of a hamstring issue and how all of Arsenal's front line must step up to replace him.

That was the case in their 3-1 win over Brentford, where Arsenal came from behind thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli, either side of Mikel Merino's close-range strike.

But while Jesus and Martinelli scored, it was the third member of the front triumvirate, 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri on his first Premier League start, who really impressed.

Nwaneri, who made his Premier League debut as a 15-year-old at Brentford two years ago and has appeared 10 times as a sub in the league in 2024-25 before his start here, played key roles in Arsenal's two goals in three second-half minutes.

His corner led to Merino's strike, before his uncleared cross was swept home by Martinelli for number three.

Saka's injury is a major blow to Arsenal's title hopes - it is up to his team-mates now, not just one player, to limit the damage.

This win was doubly satisfying for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta as he had to deal with illness in the squad, which ruled Kai Havertz out of the game. He said afterwards it had affected some of those who did play at Brentford and partially explained their slow start.

It meant Arteta had to revert to another new tactic, having flipped through plans when Saka has been absent this season.

When Saka missed the 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth in August, Raheem Sterling played right wing. He was largely ineffective before being hooked on 37 minutes following William Saliba's red card, and amid injury issues of his own has become a peripheral figure this season.

Martinelli started there and played 90 minutes during the 1-0 win over Ipswich, but is far more comfortable on the left - the position he reverted to at Brentford.

And against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, Arteta completely changed shape with two strikers and Jesus wide.

'Nwaneri is a joy to watch'

Ethan Nwaneri made his third start of the season against Brentford - the other two were in the League Cup

Against Brentford, however, Arteta deployed Nwaneri in the role Saka has perfected, cutting in as a left-footed right winger. And Arsenal looked far more coherent for it.

In the first half, Nwaneri and Martinelli had the fewest touches of all outfield players, but the teenager impressed with what little ball he had. He was the only player to complete all of his passes in that opening period - 17 of 17.

It was a test to see if he could step that up in the second half when Arsenal needed it. It was an exam that the college-aged student passed with flying colours.

"He just makes me smile," TNT Sports pundit Karen Carney said of Nwaneri. "He's brave, he's bold - for someone who's so young as well.

"For a young man he was outstanding. He was positive and a joy to watch. I can't believe how young he is - he will be an absolute player for Arsenal."

"He's definitely going to get chances with Saka not available," added former Arsenal defender Martin Keown. "It's all there under the bonnet waiting to come out.

"It's really important you have those players in the group demonstrating the quality coming out of the academy."

Arteta has handled Nwaneri with kid gloves since giving him his debut, but felt this was the time and place to give him the biggest spotlight of his career so far.

"We had a 17-year-old in the starting line-up who did great," Arteta told his post-match media conference. "I thought Ethan was the best player in that position to start the game. He also made his Premier League debut here, sometimes a feeling like that can help.

"It is patience, managing frustration and expectation. We are building him."

How Arsenal's right-wing options differ

It would be foolish to say Nwaneri is yet a perfect replacement for Saka - but he is arguably the best Arsenal currently have in their squad.

The touch maps of Saka in his final full Premier League match before injury - the goalless draw with Everton - and Nwaneri's against Brentford are very similar, suggesting the youngster fits most naturally into Arsenal's usual system.

Meanwhile, Martinelli's against Ipswich - where he holds much closer to the byeline as would be expected from a right-footed right winger - shows just how differently Arsenal are forced to play with him in that role.

In that game, the Brazilian failed to have a shot or create a chance for a team-mate - and no other Gunners player who lasted the full 90 minutes had fewer touches of the ball.

Back in his more familiar role on the left against the Bees, Martinelli had four shots, created four chances and, for the second time in three games, scored.

Jesus hits purple patch at right time

While Nwaneri impressed out wide against Brentford, Jesus continues to thrive down the middle.

Before Saka went off against Crystal Palace, Jesus had one goal in 20 appearances. Since then Jesus has six in four, as many as in his previous 48 games. A remarkable 23% of his goals for the club have come in the past two weeks.

Whether freed up by Saka's absence or stepping up to shoulder his share of responsibility, it has been a extraordinary, timely and welcome transformation.

"It is a quality of the team to share the goals," said Arteta. "They [Jesus and Martinelli] are so consistent in the way they train and behave."

Fans have been clamouring for Arsenal to sign an attacker in January and the calls have gained volume since Saka's injury.

Whether they enter the market remains to be seen. They cannot sign anyone on loan, as Sterling and back-up keeper Neto fill their two temporary slots from top-flight clubs.

And, without arguably their biggest star, it will be a tricky ask to stay in touch with leaders Liverpool until Saka returns, potentially as late as March.

But with impressive resolve from the players to fill the gap left by their injured comrade - and with a starry young talent growing his reputation still further - there are more than a few sparks of hope.

But but but Marescha has done a better job than Arteta and Chelsea will finish above Arsenal 🤡

Big win for Arsenal. Comfortably the best team in the league on a level playing field (no injuries, VAR blunders).

Salah is in the form of his life and deserve POTY. It seems highly unlikely that they will slip but if they do, Arsenal will be ready.

Anyway, second place finish will be a great result this season considering the difficulties the team had to face and overcome. Next season Arsenal will be up there again.
 
Gabriel Jesus drops clear hint over Arsenal future after failed transfer bid

Gabriel Jesus says he 'will not give up' in his bid to become Arsenal's main man following transfer speculation linking him with a move to Brazil.

The former Manchester City ace, 27, has endured a difficult 2024-25 campaign but has found form over the Christmas period, netting six times in just four games. He was on target again in Wednesday night's 3-1 win away at Brentford to keep Arsenal in touch with Liverpool at the Premier League summit.

It had previously seemed as though Jesus could be on his way out of Arsenal given the club's desire to sign a new striker back in the summer. And there has been interest from Jesus' native Brazil, with Palmeiras bidding to bring him back to the club in October.

That approach was rebuffed, though - and Jesus didn't sound like a player with plans to move elsewhere after the Brentford match.

Speaking post-match to TNT Sports, he said: “I keep working and everyone at the club can tell how I work every day, not just me but everyone. I don't give up and it is not easy to play for a big club like Arsenal.

“Now I can score and I am very happy - I want to keep scoring to help the team.”

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked last month about the interest in Jesus from his former club. But he insisted it would make "no sense" to sell the versatile forward in January before backing Jesus to come good in front of goal.

Speaking before Jesus' fine run of form, Arteta said of Arsenal's No.9: “Like all strikers, they go on phases and moments and that gap is becoming big. It’s true that obviously a lot of things has happened, injuries, absences of not playing or starting games that much.

“But his attitude has been really good, it always is, and we’re going to try to help him overcome the situation as soon as possible.”

Although Jesus has hit form at an ideal time, Arsenal continue to be linked with strikers. Wolves forward Mathus Cunha is thought to be a target, and Arteta refused to rule out doing business now the transfer window is open on New Years Day.

“Let’s see. If there’s an opportunity we will look at it,” he said. “Let’s see how we get there. Hopefully, the squad is going to be in a much healthier position than it is right now, but who knows?

“We are prepared if we need to do something, we’re capable of doing something, but then that transfer window is very tricky and difficult to control. The opportunities are very limited but we’ll be there.”

Every team has injuries and bad ref decisions throughout the season.

You writt off the season earlier now if you finish 2nd , you're the best team in the league ? lol

I wrote off Arsenal’s capacity to win the league this season because they had lost too much ground because of injuries and inconsistent officiating.

It is in Liverpool’s hands now and they deserve to win the league this season because they have taken advantage of City and Arsenal’s blip.

However, if they choke in the second half of the season, Arsenal will be ready to capitalize. The fact that Arsenal are still 2nd and the only team capable of catching Liverpool in spite of all they have been through this season says a lot about the character and the quality of the players and of course Arteta himself.

Winning cups is not important. Title challenge matters. Ole finished second but at no point during the season did he threaten City for the title and finished a good 20 pts behind.
 
Yesterday's result hurt for sure, wasn't expecting Brentford to lose 3-1 at home. Winning at Brentford isn't easy given the compaq but intense stadium.

Still, Brentford were never in contention for top 4 let alone winning the league, so will do well ending up in the league next season.

As for Arsenal, I am sticking to my guns (pun fully intended) - to win the league this season.

No different to what you wrote earlier.

Please detail injuries and bad ref decisions and we can compare with other teams?

Arteta has made some unusual tactical and line up decisions, nothing to do with those?

We are only 1/2 through the season, anything can happen but choking in May is always better than choking by Dec.
 
🤣🤣 so the bhangra 🤡 is cry about refs, injuries and celebrating 2nd.

New year, same bakwas from loser.

But but Odegaard injured and we had no replacement.. boohoo wehweh

But saka got injured because Arteta over played him and its nor fair.. boohoo wehweh..

5 years without a trophy and this 🤡 continues to make excuses

But but Arteta will win next 2 out of 3,4,5,7 titles..

Absolute zero ball knowledge bhangra cheer leader
 
🤣🤣 Man city and Arsenal blip

Man city have won 4 PL titles in a row and dropped of

Arsenal no trophies in 4 years and its supposedly the same thing

New year, same delusion

Only clueless ball knowledge 🤡 would make such comparison

Arsenal are having a blip.. blip from what? They have won Fk all for last 4 seasons 🤡

This 🤡 will just keep using excuses.

Supposedly Liverpool are only top because Arsenal injuries.

Arsenal injuries because they signed injury prone players, or players like Rice, white and saka that Arteta has over played them or made them play with injuries that have got worse.

Can't wait for the new excuses in phase 6, next season...

This 🤡 needs to go back to the circus

Arsenal lost 6 points because of Rice, Trossard and Saliba red cards. Players from other clubs have gotten away with identical offenses.

In addition, the injury to Odegaard was a massive blow. If he was still injured, Arsenal would be fourth in the table. He is extremely influential.

Arsenal have been clearly very unlucky this season but we will take it. Arsenal will be ready next season.
 
Some get some tissues for the bhangra 🤡

But but its not fair Arsenal got red cards..

They should cancel the league and restart it

It's not fair oddegard got injured..

They should have stopped the PL season until he came back.

Has someone seen my dummy,

🤣🤣 cry baby

But but saliba got injured...

But but it was in the bag and someone put a hole in the bag..

But but Emery cheated when Villa won 2-0

But but we got more wins and points then other Arsenal teams...

But but we were the 2024 calender year champions...

But but its not fair, we don't have a good enough squad coz of injuries...

But but Arteta didn't have full control on transfers...

But but its a blip...

115 bakwas excuses, imagine if you actually had any credibility in 1st place.

Arteta ain't win PL this season or next season 🤡

All 3 were correct decisions, other clubs have had worse. Last season your player was playing basketball in the pen area but got away with it. We could spend all day looking at each decision over the years, this is football.

As for injuries, this is normal, Odegaard wasnt out for the season, only a few games. This is falls on the manager to have a replacement who can do the job in absence.

Your reasoning is schoolboy level, this is the arguments I had when I was 12 with other fans who blamed refs and injuries. There are many variables in football, ranging from great keeper saves, errors, deflections, less rest days, bad tactics, poor training, lack of planning, poor transfer market, poor discipline of players etc etc.

In the end, the manager has to take responsibility.

Brilliant response

What happens of oddegard or saka etc.. gets injured next season as well, this 🤡 will just roll out another excuses.

This guy has invested 5 years of twirling and bhangra over this manager, that he would rather keep eating humble pie every season - then admit he's wrong.

Arteta has been backed to the hill, the current squad is near or over £1billion in value.

Is there any updates on Jan signings? Some strange reports of Rashford to Arsenal but that would be very strange. Any replacements for Saka in the line?

Arteta is probably scouting more donkeys in the marker whose careers he can try and salvage. So rashford or some other teams leftovers that they don't want, Arteta will be there.

The kronkes have given this failed novice same level of power as wenger, its simply embarrassing.

He may offer Utd to take Rashford by only paying him 100k like Sterling. Sterling should be sent back by 2nd of Jan! 100k a week, a loan player could come in who may actually play.

Arsenal already have 2 loan signings, so any new transfers are likely to be permanent. Rashford would probably demand 200K+ and arteta being clueless will probably beg the kronkes to pay it.

According to the 🤡 in the fan base, edu and Arteta fixed the wage bill, yet reality is the wage bill is worse then before.

I don't want Trashford or any other clubs leftovers.

You get all sorts of reports at this time of the year. Ive read Arsenal are in talks over Nico Wiliams, would be a top signing. Not sure about Brightons Evan Ferguson, not convinced by him although good potential. This could be to keep some fans happy, as if they are trying but reading Artetas thoughts the club wont give him so much cash, so may need get rid of a few quickly if he wants this.

Brighton would want a stupid amount for ferguson, he's not fully proven In PL, can't stay fit either - no thanks

Nico Williams is quality, but whether he wants to leave Spain is debatable.

Most of the links made at times aren't worth anything.

Now Arteta is essentially picking the players for transfers, it would end up being useless

Interesting choice of starting line up.

Martin odegaard had been poor recently but not sure where creativity in this line up comes from now with him not starting.

Brighton will gave space you'd think he could have exposed.

Strange line up in my opinion but I'm not paid 15 million a year Mikel is and if he thinks this will get the win... Let's wait and see...
 
Also I'm never happy when Partey is not in Midfield. I guess needs must cos of Timbers Injury. I'd rather Rice play RB or KT. I just think we lose to much when Partey is not in the middle.

We both did say Partey would play at RB 🤣 with timber suspended.

Jorginho did play when we won here 3-0 last season, so guess that reason he's playing.

Oddegard apart from one game has looked very woeful since he returned from injury, yet some people think he's better then musiala at Bayern.

Anyways must win game, Liverpool will slaughter man united tomorrow
 
Poor defending that, lucky that Brighton missed a sitter. Partey needs more protecting from Adingra
 
Started well but have given up possession. Wasting to much time. Incoming booking I reckon.

Also Jorg has been used as the trigger for Brighton to press. It's worked to an extent..

Defo need 2nd goal
I'd take Jorginho off and bring on Odegaard.

Or even take Merino off. Need someone to keep hold of the ball. Jorg is OK but doesn't have the quick passes. I mean if he gets it right we'll be in but Brighton are quick on him.

We need someone to get into the pockets.

Yeah we have given the ball away quite sloppily as half went on, definitely need to slow game down in 2nd half.

Saliba has been outstanding at the back though and calm influence as usual.

Hopefully we can do what we did vs Brentford (2nd half) and start well and kill game off.
