Alex Crook BELIEVES Arsenal's Lack Of A 'Number 9' Is COSTING Mikel Arteta In Poor Run Of FORM! 😱🔥

Clearly arteta thought he could rely on havertz and Jesus and didn’t see the need to buy a striker. It’s on the manager.

[@Fensom1981]

They wanted Sesko, but he didn’t want to leave yet and the other 3 viable options of improvement were too expensive.. you then get into the realms of ‘unproven’ and possibly not an upgrade

[@Leon-y2g]

@ “too expensive” for 3 different options? Wow arsenals sales negotiations team are very bad. Now we see why Edu left then. If you’re club going to be ripped off by every other single club going then I’d leave aswell. Clearly everyone seeing arsenal football club as a bunch of mugs.

Why does the media all go on about Isak going to Arsenal, its like they don't like us and don't want us to do well.

[@DELUSIONALDANNYG2]

When I was speaking to someone from sky sports at St James at the PSG game he literally said they wind up clubs with the biggest fanbases so they get angry fans commenting which means the video gets pushed to more viewers. They do it to wind Newcastle up. Isak has rejected arsenal. They aren’t good enough for Isak.

[@Photosoflife]

False. Odegaard missing has been the biggest issue by far. He’s not only the link player that keeps the team flowing and connected. But he’s also the trigger point for Arsenal’s press and leads the press from the front. Likewise, him and Havertz combine and link up very well together. For such a "liability" Havertz has 13 goals and 7 assists in 25 Premier League matches since he switched to the 9 position. You’re not going to find many other 9’s with that amount of production.

[@smu02ns]

Yet you still look like a joke in attack.

[@Photosoflife]

@smu02ns I’m not sure what the point of your post is. Odegaard’s first full match was yesterday vs Chelsea. Aside from a very brief 5 minute cameo midweek, he had been out since late August.

[@smu02ns]

@@Photosoflife so he didn’t play the first 3 games ?

[@Photosoflife]

@smu02ns Why are you asking me a question you already know the answer to? He played the first three league matches and missed the next seven league matches. The Chelsea match yesterday was his first league match back in nearly 2.5 months.

[@supermandad9172]

@@Quattro_Joe didn't say, that. We all know arsenal will lose some games. But we don't know how mnay they'll lose compared to Liverpool Or city. It's rarely a teams goes with perfect gameplay the entire season they all have their bad week or two. Only takes Liverpool to lose two games for everyone else below to be in line. I'm just saying way, to early to rule anyone out who's 10 points behind. Come game 20 then less likely come game 30 then I say anyone with 3 games behind in points aren't gonna do it.

[@JamesJohnAgar]

Should have bought Victor Osimhen last season.

[@Fensom1981]

So Havertz scored a goal which was (rightfully) given offside, but only by a shoulder.. is there a striker that is never offside.. he’s then also in the right place at the right time at the end but only Trossard stops it.. is there a striker that moves Trossard out the way then runs back into the middle quicker than superman to score the tap-in? Surely there’s a better pundit out there that Talksport could get to talk about the game.. it’s costing them being respected

[@rwebber79]

Is not know one seeing the pattern here Liverpool and now Arsenal players coming before the end of the game as we go into the international break 🤔 “It’s to keep the players injured free and staying fit for the club”

[@joeabrahams6680]

That means Man City also scoring only 4 goals in 4 games also mean they "lack a proper No. 9" right?!... Very lazy punditry. While Arsenal may or may not have clinical finisher at this moment in time, their biggest problem all through this bad form has been chance creation. Even if you put Halaand in this current Arsenal team, he won't get many goals. Or was this not the same team (minus Odegaard) that was putting 4, 5, 6 goals past premier league opposition (including the same Chelsea they just played) this same year?

[@clipped6963]

It’s a combination of this and Arteta changing his tactics this season. Osimhen was there for free and our stupid dof couldn’t even get that deal done. Trossard alone has cost us 9 points tho. City red, Bournemouth loss and Chelsea draw all should be wins

[@CJ-dg9nu]

Arsenal should have signed Another defensive Midfield player

[@kevingates8339]

Inter sat half their starters for the midweek game against Arsenal

[@legendaltair2733]

Arteta has lost the plot. His defensive approach has back fired, now go all out on attack. Whenever they score a goal they retreat to a low block and try to defend that lead and they will concede. That's not the winning mentality😂😂

[@REEQDC]

Gabriel Jesus is a waste of time in the Arsenal team. He’s no where near a person that should be leading the No.9 I don’t know why didn’t they get a proper number 9.

Useless Crook. Nobody needs a number 9. Look at your club Man UTD with their 2 number 9s Hojlund and Zirkzee. What a team needs is a high conversion rate goal scorer, no matter which number is on their back or position on the pitch

all this talk about Arsenal need a number 9 doesn`t make sense, Man City have lost 4 games in a raw and they have the best number 9 in the world. Chelsea have a number 9 and they are level on points with Arsenal. Liverpool are not playing with a number 9 but they are top of the league, their number 9 is on the bench most of the games.

Crook is what his name sake suggests. Also arsenal should of won yesterday the ref helped Chelsea get a point. Kai havertz was onside and neto should of been given a second yellow before he scored. Caicedo and colwill should of been sent off. Michael Oliver has an affiliation with plastic clubs. Arsenal players would all been sent off for those challenges

[@DELUSIONALDANNYG2]

Isak has rejected arsenal in the summer, along with Bruno G, Sesko and Williams and they have had to settle for a Newcastle reject in Merino. Get over it, he’s not and never will go to arsenal 😂 maybe City or Madrid but not Arsenal ffs. Next 1-2 years Newcastle will be above arsenal and I’m not talking about for a week like forest, I mean full time. It’s tragic the way they can’t keep isaks name out their mouth😂 bless them🤣
