Agreed it wasn't a good watch - Chelsea came with an odd Game Plan and Arsenal were like fine we don't have to score. I mean obviously another goal would have sealed it but Chelsea didn't do anything. They do still have some good players in there especially midfield.

I love a good Subs bench pinch invasion celebration. It's only stuck up Premier League celebration police that whinge about it. Its very common in other leagues and International matches.

Funny how Arsenal players being told its only the league cup yet you have Fofana crying his eyes out. hahah hey Fofana its only the league cup you know.

I don't listen to him tbh especially with his narrative with the Palestine situation.

Also you might not know this but a lot of older Arsenal fans like myself still remember him when he was working for the Mirror and he published lies about 35 Arsenal fans being hooligans during a Galatasary match. They all lost their season tickets and some lost their jobs.

Was later proven they were ordinary fans caught up in the wrong place and the wrong time. The Mirror years later admitted that this was the case and they got it wrong but the damage to these fans was already done.

So yes in response to your statement - we dont associate with the cretin.
 
I still do not understand the need for a lightshow or whatever the heck that is before a game....

Some of the comments in the stands were amusing but I cannpt use them.to generalise a whole fanbase, based on comments of about a couple of dozen people at the game....

I am not sure how it looked on TV but when Chelsea pushed 3 up in attack for an Arsenal corner- the panic on the touchline was palpable. I think more teams might do that.

Emirates Saturday and Anfield Sunday In sha Allah, looking forward to a good weekend of football, In sha Allah

Congrats to Arsenal... the relief at the final whistle was clear but I was happy for their fans, especially the more seasoned and long term matchgoers.
 
The chant about singing in the northbank and winning the league at anfield and at the lane (twice) it is cute... feels awfully similar to what another club came up with first, albeit, the Arsenal version omits winning everything.... they need that European cup... I cannot stand Spurs + their fans keep mouthing off about winning the Europa league.
 
A few teams have tried that keeping men up when we have a corner. It has not worked yet and I hope teams keep doing it cos trust me we will benefit from it before the opposition does.

There is a reason its not done more often. Chelsea manager is actually just winging it. The guy talks so much nonsense. Linkedin Manager indeed

oh here we go. Liverpool fans think they invented songs at Football matches.

Ironic that your actual anthem is one from another team. Couldn't make it up.....
 
I am seeing little digs coming again - Trying to be clever by giving credit but then having a small jibe at light shows, songs, comments, and mentioning the UCL ....

Then cry when Arsenal fans respond to the antagonising behaviour.

My mate who supports Chelsea was annoyed by the tactics last from his team.

Essentially Chelsea were trying to overloads the midfield so that it gave Arsenal limited gaps to pass ball through and then use their two wing backs to get in behind the Arsenal full back if they went forward. Liverpool and United exposed these gaps in league games.

However Arsenal just sat in and just played sideways and backwards and full backs didn't go forward. So just became a boring keep ball game.

When Chelsea did try to take risks in 2nd half they had no momentum. Keeping it tight was fine, as they only needed 1 goal to take it to extra time. But both teams end up just parking bus and cancelling each other out.

For Arsenal it's just bout win trophies by any means, long term this boring stuff we are producing isn't going to be sustainable to dominate over a long period of time

To have "sustained Sucsess" in English football whether it be Liverpool 80s, Man utd 90s / 2000s, Chelsea under abramovic, City under their owners.

All of these sides

- more money to spend then other teams
- they were seen as the most attractive team to join in the league or Europe
- the pretty much obtained all the best players
- Had world class managers
- The teams were visible head and shoulders above their peers in those eras

Now let's look at Arsenal right now,

- Are Arsenal going to outspend City or Liverpool? No! On top of that City and Liverpool are better are balancing books and it's a reason why they keep throwing money around in case of City
- Are Arsenal most attractive option in PL for players to join? For some players yes, some No. Its nowhere near the level where huge numbers of players are turning down other clubs just for Arsenal
- have Arsenal shown indication they will regularly dominate the domestic cups? No
- Have Arsenal shown indication they will dominate Europe? No, other than Real Madrid no one has shown sustained success in CL
- In regards to PL, even if Pep leaves, or slot was sacked these clubs can still attract managers like Luis Enrique, Anchelloti. Tuchel, Alonso etc. So it's not as though clubs are not going to be able to get other managers in who are top quality.

Whereas teams who had Sustained success had managers who were generational or levels above the rest. The other competing sides had decent managers at best

@Abdullah feel free to counter any of the above and exactly where sustained success is going to come from

You are missing the point, sustained success is never a given, but setting the groundwork to have a go at it, is all you can do. Of course many factors are at play. For what it is worth, I think if fans were in the stadium, they would have made it toxic for Arteta to get through that period and he might even have been sacked.

Lets not forget the club was a laughing stock 6 years ago.

The great manager Wenger had 13 years after 2004 and did diddly squat, He spent around half a billion in his final 6 or 7 years too, so give me a break with any manager who is there for 6 years and spends money can do it.

I don't like Arsenal but opposition fans often give the best views on your manager and club.

The squad Arsenal have is streets ahead of everyone in the Prem and probably even in Europe. The defensive is pretty much impregnable with the way Arteta sets up, though it takes away from your attack. It doesnt cost you due to the corners factor which again you are streets ahead of of anyone in Europe. 28 goals to the next best in Europe being 20. You don't see 50% better than the second best in ANY metric in football.

The squad age is another HUGE factor, and experience of going close repeatedly means that once they get one over the line, it could open the floodgates. I am hoping it goes the other way and players want to leave for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The Liverpool slot example from last season is flawed- he won it with someone else's team (a bit like Arteta and the FA Cup) but Arteta has built this from the bottom up himself.

I've heard some over hyped nonsense in my time but this is right up there.

The club was a laughing stock 6 years?

Let's deals with facts, rather then a formed overhyped opinion.

The club won more trophies and got to more Cup finals in the 6 years before Arteta was in charge. Then his 1st 6 years. So all this golden period in last 6 years is a lot of nonsense.

The squad is streets ahead of everyone in the Premier league? Based on what? We are 6 points clear in the league, no different to Liverpool last season. If Arsenal squad was that far ahead we would be 10-12 points clear minimum right now. Stop Acting like Arsenal have turned the PL into a farmers league

Also getting carried away with the CL league stage means nothing, you simply play 8 fixtures which have zero barring on the knock stages. Liverpool and Barca looked amazing in last seasons group stages, then were knocked out in knockout stages. We will see how good this squad is on the knockout stages under pressure.

Also Arsenal attack is nowhere near "streets ahead of rest of PL or europe".

The likes of Martinelli, trossard, Gyokeres, madueke have been average at best. The fact the clubs resorted to using Merino and havertz as make shift strikers, thar shows how poor the rest of attack options are. Even Saka are one top class forward has been below par this season. But supposedly that's still streets ahead of PL or In Europe.

To dominate in Europe over a sustained period you need a world class or elite midfield like Barca had or real Madrid had, as well as elite forwards. These are only two clubs in last 20 years that have dominated periods in the CL. Arsenal midfield id nowhere near that level. The attack is nowhere near elite level.

Defensively Arsenal are best in europe, but you need a lot more then that going forward to win CL regularly. Inter Milan who had been rock solid in Europe got 2 CL finals, but their lack of elite quality in final 3rd got exposed.

Arsenal should get over the line this season but vast majority of the attackers Martinelli, trossard, Jesus, Gyokores, havertz are nowhere the level to dominate the league domestically or in Europe. Unless Arsenal seriously upgrade most of these players their ain't going to be sustained success.

Just like any other team, opposition teams will eventually find a way to combat set pieces and other things Arsenal are good at. You always have to keep evolving. It only takes 1 bad performance in the cups etc.. and your out.

All other teams that had sustained success over a long period had midfield and attacks way better than everyone domestically and in Europe. Arsenal don't have that, anyone thinking they do are seriously lying to themselves
 
@Abdullah feel free to have a look at CL Road Map.

Arsenal could have to go through Dortmund > man city / Real > Paris / Barca / Chelsea / Liverpool

Depending on how that draw is done, on flip side they could have

Leverkusen > inter > spurs / Newcastle / Chelsea

So there ain't going to be No easy route for any English team to the final. This notion Arsenal are streets ahead of rest of Europe is very premature

Plenty of better Managers in CL, plenty of street wise teams when it comes to knockout football, compared to league stages.

Everyone though Arsenal would smash PSG after the Real Madrid game. PSG tactically exposed Arsenal in both legs. Just like Inter did vs a rampant Barca.

We will have to agree to disagree.

The overall squad is better than the others- and is not close to hitting peak age yet. That is the bit as a non Arsenal fan which worries me.

United have been to cup finals last 4 years - still a laughing stock in the league which is where you get judged, so wrong again on that one.

Of course the UCL is not going to be a walk in the park- Pep has one 1 in 8 years at City- Fergie won 2 in 25 years- Klopp and Tuchel have won 1 in I dont know how many years. Simone and Conte probably won't win one! There are so many factors that go into that. So stop misrepresenting what I am saying

Overall squad is better than others based on what?

In terns of defence 100% agree Arsenal have the best options.

Midfield not a chance. One key injury to Rice or zubemendi and its trouble. Rest of midfield options norgaard, Odegaard merino are average at best, Eze had been hot and cold.

In regards to attack. Manchester City have a better attack then Arsenal. Other then saka, Arsenal attack is blunt to say the least. Cherki, semenyo, haaland and marmoush are a better attacking unit.

So your wild comment about Arsenal being streets ahead holds zero substance.

Also if Arsenal are streets ahead, why is no one mentioning trebles or quadruples? If this teams supposedly thst much better than the rest?

Given Arsenal's defensive prowess it doesn't really matter which of their average forwards play.

The reason nobody is mentioning trebles and quads is because they still need to get the first league title over over the line.

Most pundits are saying Arsenal should walk this league- it's not just me.

I understand the fear factor amongst the Arsenal fans - but fear can be irrational. It's why Arsenal are playing better away from home than at home right now- which is the last bit of hope I am clinging on to.

Let's see where this ends

Liverpool were in this position last season and people were talking of them winning multiple trophies.

Same with Man city when they have been in this position.

Now supposedly the amazing defense will carry the average attack. Not a single team in PL / old 1st division or in Europe has sustained domination on just having a goos defence alone. So again yet another wild assumption by you

Reason no one is mentioning trebles or quadruples is because this side isn't head and shoulders above the rest of PL of Europe like your wild claims.

Arsenal away performances in PL have been average at best this season, one good win at Leeds doesn't change that. If they were so called head and shoulders above the rest they would be wiping the floor with teams away from home, which they haven't even remotely done so this season in PL.

You seem to come out with a huge number of outlandish and wild statements all based around how good defensively Arsenal are. You only gey so far with a good defence. You need to actually be able to still dominate at other end with your attack.

Yet your over hyping sustained domination, opening flood gates miles better than everyone in Europe on a team whose attack isn't anywhere near elite let alone world class.
 
Hoping this will be an easier affair than the reverse fixture. Xhaka also out. At home and now more familiar with Sunderland’s play too. Gyo, Kai and Jesus all hungry for goals.

This could be a defining weekend for Arsenal. City are quite likely to drop points at Anfield. Hoping by the end of the weekend the lead has increased to 8-9 points.
 
Great win by the Gunners.

Positional football’s biggest drawbacks are:
1.If your team’s positional strategy gets figured out, you can lose very easily.
2.It’s extremely player-dependent for specific process outcomes to actually work.
3. It sucks the living daylight out of creativity. Players have to operate so accurately within the system.

For me, peak Arsenal will always be Wenger’s free-flowing, expressive football. That, to me, is the holy grail of the game.

No team has ever achieved the absolute pinnacle of success playing that way. Even the Invincibles had to sacrifice long periods of possession for those blitzkrieg counters. The Cesc & Ozil teams came very close but got found out by very tactical, street-smart opponents. And let’s not forget peak Barca, the mother of all positional football teams and likely the team that played Club football at its highest ever level, mauling Wenger's teams.

The closest any side ever came to the holy grail of expressive, players-with-freedom football was Brazil ’82. Just like Arsenal, they got ruthlessly dismantled by a very shrewd, tactically superior team in Italy.

Arteta is basically Pep 2.0 and he is already pushing positional football to another level. He doesn’t have the individual quality Pep had at Barca, or even at peak Bayern / City, but the control, the system mechanics, and the interplay between players in Artetaball are genuinely advanced.

I have been a long time lover of football and became an Arsenal fan around 06/07–08. Unfortunately (and stupidly) I wasn’t supporting the Gunners during the Invincible years, even though I had been an obsessive student and player of the game since ’94.

I sometimes joke to myself that ever since I started properly following Arsenal, they haven’t won the league, let alone a European trophy.

I genuinely expect Arteta to win the league this year. But after twenty years, my personal jinx might resurface like it does every season lol. More seriously, I think the team is actually well placed to go for the Quadruple this season (League Cup, Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup), something only the great Celtic side of the late 60s ever managed.

Even if that happens, deep down I’ll still carry the old Wenger dream: one day a team fields eleven genuinely creative players, gives them real freedom, dominates, wins Big and actually entertains people, giving them value for their time and money.

That, for me, is football at its top level.

Sadly, I don’t see it happening anymore. The game is so much faster now, the balls are lighter and don’t hold moisture, so players have far less time on the ball than even 15 years ago, never mind last century.

Today’s players are athletes first and thinkers second, because thinking time has shrunk dramatically. That alone stifles creativity.

The game has become hugely more tactical. Almost every winning formation has been clocked, the field fully mapped in zones, each player’s most effective areas precisely defined.

So yeah, we are going to keep seeing manager-driven, highly organised, extremely tactical teams. Players are now primarily evaluated on xG, xA, PPDA, defensive duels won, etc.

That’s just life. That’s how football has evolved.

It started ugly, then became beautiful, and now it’s become old and ugly again, only this time the wrinkles show the grace it once had.
 
Prior to the game today, Pep had only won once at Anfield, so I was confident Liverpool would at least get a draw.

Both teams have to play at Chelsea but I have a feeling the game at the Etihad might end up being the title decider.
 
Arsenal attackers do a great job pressing, defending etc. but they aren’t goal machines. It’s not in their game.

Haaland, Salah are different. They actually have incredible goal output. And the talent is evident. It also relinquishes pressure on the others. Arsenal there is no one you can count on for goals so all of them feel that pressure. People are praising Cherki for example and he has been great. But if he was counted on to deliver the goals, it’s be harder for him that isn’t his strength. Fortunately Haaland is there.

The problem is I think that sort of quality generally requires higher talent. And usually those guys who have it are already earmarked. They’re already in Barcelona, Real Madrid etc at a young age. Haaland wasn’t an unknown before he moved to Man City. It’s hard to suddenly just snatch one of those away.

Arteta has tried to get stars that didn’t work out. Oodegaard from Real Madrid. Havertz was supposed to be the next big thing at Chelsea. Madueke is great before end product. Jesus was never the big star at Man City. Then even your older past or players like Stirling, Willian. And as a result Arteta can get them for a cut rate price. If it had worked out for them, they’d be worth more and not at Arsenal. But there’s probably a reason why these guys were discarded or didn’t work out. I think it’s the case, I can fix them. But in reality don’t think that’ll happen.

We’re seeing why Gyokores was playing in the Portuguese league at his age. If he were talented he wouldn’t be there.

The same time it’s a huge risk picking youngsters. And even then they can cost a lot and flop. Look how much Hojlund and Sesko cost.

As I said before maybe if Arsenal can win you can get these stars that actually want to come to Arsenal. Not a second choice to Man City, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid. You can of course still can get good pickups. But not the absolute best. And if you want to be the leaders consistently that is what you need.

Arsenal’s one superstar signing in Declan rice. Everyone wanted him. And he would have gone to Chelsea if they hadn’t declined. Arsenal got lucky in that regard. That’s why it’s important Arsenal need to win soon so they can attract the best of the best.

Im not here to say they are better than Arsenal, clearly not yet and maybe only a couple of players would make Arsenals first XI but Arsenal have regressed last season while Spurs are fast improving.

Spurs have won a major trophy, Arteta has not for years now, he must deliver this season. No excuses.

MK7Z said:
Wait hold on - Arsenal regressed last season ok I tend to agree but to make that point when trying to say Spurs are improving? based on what 60 mins against a PSG team still on the beach.

My brother they finished 17th last season. What is fast improving? We haven't played a game yet. The competitive game you are basing it on they ultimately lost. So how can you say they are fast improving. No logic applied.

I mean of course they will improve on 17th - otherwise they'll be relegated.

So far I believe they have added Kudus only? and a new manager. You think that alone will suddenly make them a top 5 team?

Yes Arsenal regressed last season but we signed 2 quality players that improve us. So time will tell. We still have not done enough to be where we need to be but that's on Mikel and as I keep saying Tick Tock.

Arteta and Arsenal is a different matter but I just dont get the Spurs logic being applied.

Relax bro.. No need to throw a tantrum.

Go have a Yoghurt... Just check it's halal 1st though.
 
Sesko’s finish last night was amazing. Gyokores I don’t think is capable of that. I don’t think either are great but it’s clear to me that the former has more potential.

Having said that the striker just isn’t the main guy in the team at top teams. He’s just support. And half the time he flops. It’s the wingers who carry the teams and need to expand their goal output.

We all thought we’d bring in Gyokores as the finished product. In reality only Haaland is really excelling at the top teams. And that’s because the man is an outrageous talent.

I think sesko has a much higher ceiling than Gyokeres. Over the last month or so, we have noticed he has a real eye for Goal. And that last night was sublime.

Next season will be were we see the best of Sesko.

Dont forget these Liverpool fans are going to be good little boys during Ramadan

Seems like the 2 🧌 are tagging each other into the ring like it's WWE so they can spout their nonsense

I was on my lunch break actually. Whereas you and your wingman are here around the clock. Typing on my short break btw.

Ok sure thing buddy.

Dunno what's more odd - being here around the clock or using lunch and short breaks to be on an Arsenal thread.

Go for a walk or something bro. Find a colleague to go with so you don't walk alone ;)

We have some people posting while on Umrah, others posting while short staffed in hospitals, God forbid if one of patients had turn for the worse, while some one is posting.

Makes me laugh how in depth these Liverpool fans know everyone else's lives 🤣
 
So looks like City are closing gap to 3 points.

So we need a good performance and 3 points away to Brentford tomorrow

A Major European trophy you say?

The trophy where you have to be appalling the season before to qualify for.

Why can't you fathom that you have be bad to be in there. Who wants that trophy?

Ohhhhh it makes sense now!!! You are calling it a major trophy cos you are probably gonna end up playing in it next season 😂😂

Well played 😂

Symptoms are still showing it seems. Europa Conference League is a now major European trophy 🤣.

It’s funny how you’re always the one who brings up Soho’s nightlife. Even during Umrah you couldn’t help resist logging on to PP and bring up Soho gay bars. It’s a sorry state of affairs when you’re so fixated on Soho’s nightlife in the Holy cities. I would hate to imagine what you’re like outside of it.
 
Awful performance. This team is living up to the bottlers tag.

Only they can do anything about it. We as fans can't do anything
 
When we drop points the system is exposed.

Most have of us have known this but who cares when you win.

It's not sustainable to expect to rely on safety first.

Saka hardly got a kick when he came on. Timber has dropped of a bit. Ben White was on the bench.

Madueke scored but let's be honest he was awful to but at least he scored.

Martinelli needs to be burying that at the end.

Anyway just awaiting the cavalry to arrive now....

It's going to be carnage here..
 
We have won 2 PL games out of the last 5 I think.

We are having a wobble and this time it might be fatal. 4 points is literally 1 more Game week.

I still think we'll do it. It was never gonna be easy.

But I'll be honest doubt is creeping in even for me...

You are not up against prime city, they are not capable of winning 3 or 4 in a row anymore let alone 10.
 
Didn't watch all the game but from what I saw Brentford were the better side and unlucky not to take all 3 points

As for Arsenal, they are definitely having a wobble but if someone at the start of the season offered you to be 4 points clear by mid Feb would you have taken it?

The key is to at least be above going into the Etihad game, ideally with enough of a gap that a loss can still keep you ahead

I still don't think City are particularly great, they go away to Stamford Bridge before the Arsenal league game, that could be a huge game
