[@TheKingSkillsBW67]

The summer transfer window has been a tumultuous period for Arsenal, especially concerning Mikel Arteta's pursuit of an offensive target. Arteta's comments about Raheem Sterling being a last-minute option signal a deeper issue: the failure to secure his priority target, which remains undisclosed but was clearly critical to his vision for the team. This situation raises questions about Edu's role and whether he adequately supported Arteta's meticulous plans. Arteta is a highly intelligent and organized coach, known for his strategic approach to building a winning team. He has effectively constructed a solid back five and strengthened the midfield, ensuring that young talents like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli receive the necessary support. The addition of Kai Havertz as a versatile false nine showcases Arteta's commitment to innovation and adaptability in his tactical setup. Throughout this process, Arteta has remained steadfast in his commitment to Financial Fair Play (FFP) guidelines, emphasizing the importance of maximizing every transfer window as part of his five-year project. The offensive department, particularly the need for creativity, was clearly identified as an area in need of investment. It’s implausible to believe that Arteta would have solely targeted a player like Calafiori without considering more impactful options. This indicates a significant breakdown in the transfer strategy, likely stemming from Edu's mismanagement. Arteta is a driven winner who demands excellence. The rapid progress Arsenal has made under his leadership, closing the gap with Pep Guardiola's dominant Manchester City, underscores his capabilities. The notion that the club wasted the summer transfer window is not just a simple oversight; it reflects a failure to align the club’s ambitions with Arteta's vision. While Arteta remains loyal to Arsenal, guarding the club's reputation amidst these challenges, it's clear he is frustrated. The decision to pursue Sterling was likely born out of desperation rather than a true alignment with his plans. Arteta's intelligence and strategic acumen should not be underestimated; he knows the potential consequences of subpar acquisitions. In conclusion, Mikel Arteta deserves unwavering support from fans and the media. The scrutiny he faces overlooks the complexities behind the scenes, particularly in the transfer dealings. He is not merely a coach; he is a visionary dedicated to transforming Arsenal into a formidable force. Any notion that he is to blame for the summer's shortcomings is misguided; rather, it is a reflection of a broader systemic failure within the club's management that must be addressed. Bhavs. Let’s hold the defensive for Mikel during this trying time. He’s our only hope to get this team out of a mess, and I know he will. A lot of fitness issues have gone against him and it’s absolutely unfair to ignore that in lambasting the sad results. At our best none of this happens! None of these stud draws that have cost us heavy key points! COYG!!!!! North London Forever!

But I agree his post match comments underline his frustration and I felt it was telling almost as if he was admitting we need more. I can't help but think that's a comment the owners should take note. The eyes of our fanbase are on the owners this January it's criminal from a position of strength in the summer they didn't even get close to giving him the tools to help us progress. Also the lack of progress with a director has really frustrated me. She eyes of our fanbase are and should be on josh and Stan and so they should be. There will be no excuses once the window shuts we arteta looks frustrated and quite frankly been left out to dry. My fear is the owners don't care as much as we want them too.

When we try to sign a player, they sign a contract extension immediately, but jump ship when chelsea or man City go for them (even newcastle now). I don't see us signing anyone big tbh. We don't have that ruthlessness in us especially when it comes to transfer market. We have one of the biggest fan bases in the world yet act like a small club especially in transfers. We might sign someone from Europe and another washed up player on loan from Premier League (Rashford/ Emi Buendia/Evan Ferguson/ Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix etc). We r exactly where the owners want us to be at challenging without actually winning anything. Had we signed a proper backup like kudus before he even went to West ham, we wouldn't have had to see Saka like this. I'm worried for his career tbh. Hamstring at this age is a bad sign.

We were shot shy during the whole game and we had very little flair in the first half. But even when Brighton made it 1-1 and we bought on Odegaard, we seemed to have lost what flair we did have. We're lacking an attacking midfielder who'll pick up the ball and run at the oppositions defence and put them on the back foot. We're lacking wingers who'll go past their defenders. And we're still lacking a _REAL_ striker who'll take more than 4 shots per game. And a striker who'll be told by Arteta that they shouldn't come any further back than the centre circle. *On Omar Marmoush.* If he was so good, why didn't anyone buy him in the summer? Go and look at his stats. He's 27 years old and he's playing well now. _But he's done bu99er all previously._ But he's not afraid to take shots. Which is something that no one else in our team does.

Arsenal's main attacking problem and lack of goals is not their frontline, it's their style of play. Just as they defend with eleven players they should be attacking with eleven players. Did you see how good Man U looked today because they played with intensity and aggression? Arsenal has the same problem that Man United has, we play without aggression and intensity, we are too slow. We are not direct enough, and make too many unnecessary passes, especially in our own half. All those side to side and back passes are counterproductive, it makes the opponent grow in confidence like BHA did. Added to that, we don't take enough shots on goal. Once Arsenal correct these things we will win basically all our games, and by a high margin. Arsenal looks to me like a child playing with their food, and I have to blame that on Arteta because it is not an isolated thing, it has become a pattern. The next problem is the squad is too thin, we need to get at least 2 players this month, my choice would be Marmoush and Gyokeres, two quick and aggressive players. I hear a lot of people saying that Izak would score loads of goals if he was on our team but I am not 100% sold on that because Newcastle never has to face a low block. Haverts could probably score the same amount of goals as Isak if he was playing for Newcastle. It's apples and oranges to me, I will judge Izak after he plays against a low block.

[@shawnchong8468]

After the game, we can explicitly see what Anthony Taylor was trying to do. Firstly, he booked Ethan Nwaneri while he was deemed to have taken too much time to take a corner. It does not make any sense for any team on the ascendency to waste time during the game. Anyway, Arsenal is a much superior team compared to Brighton so it does not make any logical sense for them to deploy such tactics at that juncture of the game. Judging from Nwaneri's performance, Anthony Taylor knew that the youngster would careen them to another victory. In order to stop him from doing so, he booked him. This would force Mikel Areta to sub him out of the game for fear of a second yellow. As recent history has shown that Anthony Taylor is certainly capable of that. Secondly, that awful and ridiculous penalty decision by Mr. Taylor. He was virtually next to both Saliba and Joa. I am very sure that he has a clear view that Saliba touched the ball first before colliding with Pedro. Even if he has missed it due to sudden assumed visual issues, the VAR should inform him of that. Yet, it took just 3 seconds for the VAR to allow the goal to stand. I am absolutely sure that the VAR officials up there never bothered to check all angles of the captioned before making the decision. Once again, this demonstrates to us that the PGMOL is all out to make sure Arsenal does not get all 3 points. For whatever reason or reasons behind the scene, only the PGMOL has the answers. By now, I also believe that most of the Arsenal fans have all learnt that for us to win the league is an almost impossible feat. We have to be a million miles ahead of everybody in the league because we also have to overcome the PGMOL's intervention. My personal advice to our fans is that we should just assume that we are actually better than Liverpool this season. In actuality, we have beaten Manchester City to the title during the last two seasons, after adding back all the lost points due to the PGMOL.

[@JohnNsama-cv2rk]

For me it's like Arteta said himself said, signing a player isn't going to win us the League. I feel even if we sign the most lethal striker and still not win anything. It's all about transitioning from defense, to midfield and into attack. We're slow in building attack , too much passing in the final third and not direct on goal. We're so good at passing but we don't know how to kill games. We can beat everyone but our manager is more concerned about tactics than winning games.

[@mrbossman6811]

Need a RW and a striker

[@stuartpollard3811]

Arteta has the same problem that Wenger had. They have a perfect plan A, but when that doesn't work, they don't understand that they need to try something different, like a plan B or C

[@grantdixon230]

I can remember, at the beginning of the season, when you and your colleagues on the Cannon Podcast said that Arsenal have real squad depth this season. I thought then, how silly that sounded. Now you are admitting it. OK, illness and injuries are piling up right now. But Arsenal haven't ever had quality backup for key players like Odegarrd and Saka. Also, the lack of quality in depth is tacitly admitted by Arteta with his team selections. Numerous commentators and pundits have expressed concerns about the workload imposed on these players by the lack of sufficient rotation among key players. Now the effects of that are being felt with the injuries piling up as a result.

[@whilihemkatzen1960]

With what I learned .. the Club is not doing anything this window.. the board is okay with all happening right now .

[@Atrakis]

If Newcastle start a full strength squad on Tues we are in big trouble for the cup. We have no attackers and they are in good form. I really want some silverware this season, but it's not looking good for us right now.

[@dontknow8227]

We in here!

[@Arsenalguy21w]

We need someone to take long shots from outside the box instead of trying to get the ball into the box as teams know our approach in the attack

[@Chibage-p1y]

Baleba impressed we should go for him. His a star

[@-I-AM-ANONYMOUS-]

Arteta Out Kroenke Out Saka injured: "Stay humble eh"

[@razrsliq7623]

We need worldclass signings. Players that will improve our squad immediately especially with Saka injured. Coman or Kudus.

[@joemarron5515]

coman? the guy was out for ages lol

[@yungdkay1008]

Koman is hospital fc Kudus will be too expensive and is not entirely better than what we have

[@senzokuhlengcobo5946]

I'm about to sleep then boom bhavs 😢😢tomorrow I'll be late for work...😢😢

[@millatune2013]

What happened to the Gyokeres move?

[@DannyMorty]

Arteta was given a lot of money to pay for forwards but the only forwards he bought was Jesus , trossard and havertz , in fact havertz was bought as a midfielder so basically on 2 forwards in 3 yrs

[@EvanMcPherson-s1c]

ARSENAL TEAM NEED TO GET THERE GAME RIGHT and stop drawing back instead of pressing forward , this is a team effort not a one man squad

[@davidscot7767]

If the fans can be a bit realistic about the team this season, then well know that Arteta has been doing wonders with the amount of injuries we've had so far to key players this season. No team in the premier league would've survived it! I'm not sure defending Arteta. All I'm saying is, before we criticize him, let's look at the team's problem.

[@j.sageofficialmusic9101]

So from now on, i want to see all clash of heads to be given as freekicks.

[@Bobby19984]

Randal Kolo Muani is another Yaya Sanogo.Get serious striker.We don't need Nunez type of a striker.If its Muani don't sign anyone.

[@yf9409]

We should get Ademola Lookman and the Egyptian if we can convince both of them to come, we are good.

[@FatTodd]

Osimhen and Davies. Obvs not gonna happen but a club like Chelsea could pull it off if they wanted to

[@ClayOdari-p9f]

Our team is attack blunt. Apart from Odegaard we don't have any valuable attacking midfielders. We miserably need a proven striker. Why not try to get Victor Gyokeres. We can't win the EPL trophy with this kind of squad. We are too thin coupled with injuries. Now that Liverpool has bottled it's a chance for us to press on and narrow the gap.

[@eyimofeokikiola5031]

I think its utter madnesses that we aren’t talking about gyokeres, we clearly need goal scorers

[@Christian3174]

Rashford (for cheap), Leao or Williams and Cunha.

[@suleimanyakubu7476]

I think we should go for a cheaper option in this winter window

[@adangyusufadamu882]

Please, you guys in the media should call these BS out. But instead you always say, I don't want to blame the incompetence of the PGMOL and their referees. I think you're part of the problem. If it were to be the player(s) or manager (s) who are making these costly mistakes you'll all be screaming over roof criticizing them. You've a role to play in making this beautiful game be better 😡😡👂

[@Nibitor9353]

That penalty decision was absolutely ridiculous! By now we have been robbed of more points than I care to count. That said, it wasn't a great performance, even after the injury situation is factored in.

[@jamesmarrah1272]

I've said it since the beginning of the season We won't win this year's premier league Arteta is not a trophy coach He thought he knows it all Over sabe coach The problem is not with other teams having big squads or available players It is us not winning our games that we are supposed to but relying on other teams which is ridiculous

[@farahomar6880]

I honestly dont understand why when your team is in a relegation battle why you would choose to stay there over going arsenal

[@abrahamdosumu3164]

More draws than last season and an even bigger gap from the league leaders. It's safe to say it's over for Arsenal.

[@shittusherif5308]

If we're been serious. We would be going after players like Ademola lookman, Nico Williams

[@lukelambert3179]

Indonesia think it's the players that's the problem more the tactics we are too slow in transition too many touches and not enough risk taking.

[@Juicer988]

I would love Jobe at Arsenal. Enough of these has been "I can save her" signings. Lets get some young potential world class talents in!

[@FPLjunky]

The attack has literally been toothless this season. The lack of creativity in this team is shocking. For sure we have injuries, but come on, we have enough in the tank to play better than this. That’s for sure. Not a chance in million years was that a penalty. If this happened ANYWHERE else on the field, play would’ve continued and if the player still stayed down, then the game would’ve been stopped to allow the player treatment. Shocking decision. Verified in 3 seconds is a joke.

[@mekaokochi4317]

What has happened to Martinelli? It seems as though he's lost his speed and his ability to create havoc in the final third.

[@hicee_cyril]

We have been talking about signing forwards since I found this page in 2022/23 season and yet we haven't signed a single forward. I am tired 🤦🏾🤦🏾

[@willowz6]

Why did Arteta put together a formidable defensive force only to not rely on it by playing more direct, attacking football? Signings alone will not fix the issues with this team. We have a 6'4 giraffe in the box and we rarely put the ball on his noggin when he's playing, why? Especially when that avenue gave us success at the start of the season. When Jesus is playing, why do we not play him through the middle when he's often making runs off defenders? How many times have we seen a pass on and Ødegaard take touches and knock it to Saka or whoever is on the wing instead? Why? Why do we press with intent, yet simultaneously have almost no transitional threat? Why do we waste time and play slow on the ball when we're at our most dangerous when we move the ball quickly? Arteta rarely seems to have a plan B, and I don't particularly love plan A. He plays like he is scared to lose. Liverpool play like they want to win. In the game against Brighton, they were the ones who looked like they were challenging for a title at 1-1, not us.

[@DannyMorty]

Bhavvs ngl u cant say Arteta doesn’t have nothing to do for the fact that we don’t have players on the bench .when he was giving £700m + and signing the likes of havertz

[@M.chinns]

You will find more depth on a park bench or a bus stop bench than arsenal's bench...

[@TouringTony]

Nwaneri is not a good example about poor reffing. I was shouting at the TV for the kick to be taken because he was blatantly time wasting. The penalty was NEVER a penalty

[@alphillips5478]

Nwaneri DESERVED to be booked I put it down to immaturity

[@jamesmarrah1272]

We have an attacking problem which the so-called coach knows about but will do nothing about it Marteneli is just an average player for the past two seasons If you cannot bring him back as a coach then sell him One of the ways to bring a player back to form who has lost his form I'd by benching him and letting him fight for his place If it doesn't work then sell him I love marteneli so much but now I don't want him in my team This is a business, if he doesn't perform, you sell him The best person to manage (coach) that Arsenal team is me Because I have great passion for the team I know how to win the league with just inclusion of few players Rather than Arteta who is afraid of some teams like Everton, Liverpool, Chelsea, man city, Aston villa, Brighton, fullam, Brentford and Newcastle He's just lucky to win these teams but looking at his tactics he's pretty much afraid of them to be honest

[@Soledoubt]

Rather get a lw or lf this window

[@juiccijoshua8941]

Lots of love

[@indychuhan5229]

if we get just 1 of these signings that a good start but knowing the club we wont get shit bar excuses !!!! same old arsenal

[@charlieknight7431]

Arsenal needs to buy Kudus, especially since West Ham is struggling this season.

[@petermakiwa7503]

Maguire....!! Please.
