Proof We Need Firepower In January! (Lee Judges) | Arsenal 1-0 Ipswich

[@Khxos]

Everyone is talking about getting a striker, yet no one discusses our style of play. We are always attempting to score the perfect goal. Just take a shot sometimes man!

[@THEMADSAGA]

Style of play ?? The objective is to score no one has an eye for gol we need more attacking options on the bench not just mid and lb rb cb look at the way isak and gyokeres play

[@carltonlambert7608]

Exactly. I've been moaning about that for years. Man cannot live by cutback alone.

[@youandme9569]

I agree, to me that’s bigger issue than who is playing striker. Our approach play is devoid of tempo and every pass has to be safe before we attempt it. Playing like that isn’t going to open anybody up regardless of how good or bad the team is

Its because our fullbacks are naturally CBs who play safe in possession because obviously they are centre backs and that just makes sense if your taught to be CB. Midfielders may be good duel winners but not creative like odegaard can be, but he cant be our only creativity on his own.

[@abovebeyondkct6589]

Arteta manages like he played….i genuinely think because he was never a supremely talented star player who was very much system-oriented and relied on just keeping things moving, it seems as if he’s got an aversion to star players who can take a match in their hands and perform moments of magic on their own. It’s as if he’s not only employs a style of play that is solely possession based and sidewards or backwards just to keep things ticking, but moreso the players he selects and signs are strictly in his mold. He refuses to bring on players who are uniquely talented. Everyone is someone he can mold into what he wants, and he surely does NOT want any player to distinguish himself on their pitch. And it’s killing the team. Because the best teams have managers who not only have their systems, but they have star players who are allowed to express themselves on the pitch, even if it means the structure is broken for a single play. It’s what breaks teams down, it’s what opponents can’t account for, it’s what makes good teams exciting and frequently win matches they otherwise (as we’ve proved this year) would draw. This is Artetas ultimate team right here. A strong defense, midfielders who don’t have personality but will for the most part remain stout, and absolutely zero attacking flare. Anyone saying it’s not, all I’ve got to say is that he’s had 5+ years and almost a BILLION pounds to create his vision. He’s done that. And that’s why he needs to go. He’s maxed out until he fundamentally changes everything he believes in.

[@carltonlambert7608]

@@abovebeyondkct6589 Absolutely. Your phycological profile on him is spot on. He's an ex water carrier who fancies self as combination of Guardiola/Deschamps. Bland.

[@D333-p8u]

This 100%. I paid close attention to Gabriel Jesus yesterday as he is supposed to have found his form. Jesus was energized, frequently made runs and found space for himself but received no service what so ever. At the same time Odegaard was dreadful first half (too quickly back from injury and a new baby to deal with) and he could have played Nwaneri for at least the first half against relegation fodder but no - he will not accept fans pushing him. Havertz was played in midfield yet again but Merino was bought to play that role. What was the point. Your take is valid. Why the hell buy a striker in January who will be placed into this turgid system. To flourish how? I think we are at the juncture where Artetas limitations are increasingly obvious.

[@jiahaogoh2822]

The thing is the last 2 seasons when we were challenging for the title we played great football. I dont know why we dont play like that anymore

[@SylffQ]

Agree with you bro. He’s a pragmatic style and lack of attacking play. It’s good for some against some team but playing a weaker opponent he needs to keep placing ball into penalty box creating error from poor defender for chances to score… Arsenal game plan is too predictable. Every attacking moment starts from a default position from defender… boring 😢

This analysis is correct: we struggle against the low block. Compared to Liverpool there's no doubt we struggle to sustain waves of high intensity, fast attacks. But the problem is mainly against low block park the bus teams like Everton/Ipswich. When we play teams with more quality we actually prove very capable of scoring plenty e.g. Palace/Sporting. And we have the best record versus the top 6 in 2024. So there's no need to lose sleep/ get too upset about today. We got the 3 points. Next time we play a weak side Arteta needs to figure out how to blow them apart like we used to.

[@alainsemaine9897]

It was mostly a mid block in the first half, which only worked because we refused to play the ball over the top 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@benjaminalis53]

It seems that Arteta joined Arsenal primarily to advance his own career, but I'm puzzled by his failure to recognize the real issues at the club. Eventually, Saka may seek a transfer to a bigger club to win trophies. Liverpool had a highly experienced coach who left, and they brought in Slot, who has made an immediate impact; it's clear Liverpool could win the league this season. Meanwhile, Arteta continues to make excuses. His approach seems inconsistent-when a player performs well, he relies heavily on them, but when the team struggles, the focus shifts to needing a new striker. Is this really how to lead a team? It's reminiscent of how Arsène Wenger sold off some of the best players in the name of rebuilding.

If the club do not sign a elite attacker in this window then the club are not serious about success.

I do not want to keep players who are happy to not win trophies and if players stay if we do not sign an elite attacker at a minimum then they themselves are the problem and do not care about their own success. The club has to act and now I would prefer a wide right player but would accept a striker.

[@theRealDigCity]

Playing against a Low block, switch tactics. I am giving my praise to Timber and Odagaard for trying to dribble into the box. Low blocking teams are likely to concede when you dribble into the box. Let's have Arteta also implementing counter attacks. How many times do we get an opportunity to counter and the players just calm it down. How many times do we see players make runs and that are ignored. These are instructions from the manager and it's taking a toll on our game

[@not2busy]

I just checked the results for Ipswich so far this season and except for a recent 4-0 loss at the hands of Newcastle, almost all other games were decided by just 1 goal. So it seems that they focus a lot on the defensive side and just lack the firepower up front to win some games. But all these guys see is the poor performance by Arsenal, the lack of creativity, the lack of goals. Maybe Ipswich's big loss made them refocus on defence again and they well knew who their next opponent was. Yes they are in the relegation zone but should they start scoring a few more goals they may well escape it. Either way, they look like a team that is hard to break down. Credit to them for stymying Arsenal's offence.

The midfield is stagnant , and no one makes runs from deep to pull opponents apart to make spaces . The ball is not moving quickly enough free flowing, and it's all down to the manager of the system base style and players he had. Arsenal are known for their style of play by unllocking opponents either if they play low blocks or opened up.

[@floydarissol3952]

We need players that can run at defenders and pull them out of position and open up opportunities. We did it once or twice in the second half and it nearly pulled off.

We controlled the game well MLS was good standard win job done 👍

Ipswich came to get a draw or not to get battered & to be honest they did their job very well they defended honestly & made it hard for us to get through apart from the goal we scored which we got on a neat move in order to get around their defence .. only wish Rice had scored from our corner kick from Odegaard which would have been a great goal but a good block by the Ipswich defender … & Lewis Skelly had a brilliant game for an 18 year old & he is holding his position.. our players looked tired today & we did miss Saka but we coped & got three points .. this has been a good Christmas for us roll on next year… 🙏🏾

[@legendsaffa]

Olmo, Raphinia and Gyokores would be my ideal signings.

Turkish spoke my mind to the T . We desperately need a striker like Now !!!!

You don't have to spend money to win the league. Ask Arnie it all about the manager and mentality of the players you have

Why are people saying that we are not buying anyone in January. In the history of our club when last did we not buy anyone in January. We have always reinforced in January. Trust in the club guys!

[@Letstalkpremiership]

What is happening with martin od he looked well below par today bad touches couldn't find a pass from 5 yards

[@oracleofdelphi2347]

" Go buy Gyokeres/Kudus/Osimhen etc. Why do Arsenal fans think that teams like Westham, Sporting, Galatasaray etc are just willing to sell their key players in January when these teams have their own struggles/ajms for this current season

[@Teezy_Ty]

We have become a boring team to watch and our players are over coached. What happened to the free flowing football we had 2 seasons ago? It’s just side to side with no intensity in our play. Teams have a blueprint to beat us. Play a deep low block and because we have minimal creativity we will hardly create anything

[@takaenda7577]

Fickle Arsenal fans at it again, how is it a lack of fire power when Ipswich was parking the bus. Citeh have got the robot upfront but are struggling to score goals

[@thebandthatisDAVE]

Not a centre forward needed! It’s creativity! Breaking down 5-4-1 is incredibly difficult! ALL teams below top six are doing it! Opponents come for the point home and away! 3 points 2nd in the league! No Saka! Come on guys! Chill!

[@Adam-i4l4u]

Ipswich made us look very average today, but a win is a win and we keep pushing

[@kalvingichuhi5356]

We don’t need a striker . What we need is a good Saka replacement. What’s the essence of getting a striker and we can’t create chances for him

Arsenal's biggest problem is the mentality..Rodri mentioned it and we lost it as Arsenal fans of which it's true....and I think this is amplified by Arteta
