[@YTA5690]

Two seasons ago, Arsenal were playing brilliant attacking football and they had a perfectly balanced midfield and they didn’t have any issues scoring goals. They’re defence was also rock solid too. By March 2023, they were 8 points clear at the top. Then Salibas injury occured and Arsenals whole back line fell apart and as a result, that scarred Arteta forever and he kept focusing on defending and playing not to lose rather and relying on set pieces.

[@rulifaller8474]

But they still scored 91 goals last year with roughly the same squad.

[@Rv1333]

This set piece thing is a bit of a stretch, what's the percentage of goals scored this season that have come from set pieces, 10/39 is not really reliant is it

[@PaddyMcMe]

What's killing them is they convinced themselves that their previous 2 seasons were the norm, all players firing and minimal injuries. Ontop of that this is the 1st time City has slipped up, they thought that would mean it's their title but Liverpool, with an improved midfield and greater defensive stability are playing at a normal Man City pace and thus look favourites to win this year. And be real here, it could be another 5-6 years before City slip up like this again. Arsenal fans are just starting to learn what Liverpool did. They lost 2 titles by a single point with FAR greater totals than Arsenal have yet achieved. It's fine margins at the very top.

[@TheNotSoFakeNews]

I agree, very unusual to have so few injuries over 2 years. And in key positions too.

[@Lioness_UTV]

As a neutral, Arsenal should have been primed to slip past City as they stumbled. Instead, they have gone quiet, dropping points and have been creatively poor. It looks to me that Arteta, similarly to Pep, his former mentor, likes to keep his team quite small and tight. He doesn't rotate his favs or players he trusts much. And despite most ppl seeing the one glaring gap, he has resisted for 3 seasons an acknowledged striker. And now, teams around them have continued to grow and refresh, and his Arsenal team haven't much.

Liverpool have got WC Centrebacks, GK and a WC winger in a team that despite not changing have been title challengers(they were under Klopp last season) and winners and as such have the necessary mentality while playing in such a way that midblocks aren't kryptonite to you like they are to Arsenal and City. A lot was already there for Liverpool while a lot has gone wrong for the other 2 teams much like it went wrong for Liverpool last season.

[@Neatguyjake]

I disagree. I think he is a good coach who needs to adapt for this challenge. Honestly I think the failing are all in signing players who are up to the level that this attack needs. That is partly Artetas fault as I don’t know how involved he is in transfers, but it’s embarrassing that the only forwards he has purchased are Trossard and Jesus, both of which were not too expensive and all fans would be fine with their sale in the summer of 2025. We need at least one striker and one winger.

[@irf2856]

It was clear from the start of the season that we lack creativity in this team. Odegaard is our only true attacking midfielder (bar maybe Nwaneri), selling ESR and loaning Viera felt strange at the time but even more so now. Saka is our only truly creative winger, Martinelli and Trossard simply aren't consistent enough. Dont even need to mention our strikers. Honestly id be happy with finishing in the top 4 and nothing more this season, IF in the summer we sign a back up to Ode, an exciting LW and a world class striker. If we do that, i find it hard to picture many weaknesses in our team. It is a very big IF though..

[@AKAdeedeeDEE]

The biggest failure in the transfer market of last summer was by arsenal. Victor Osimhen was available to be loaned with the option to buy/first refusal. Is Osimhen that guy who can lead a premier league contender, I don’t know but that had the chance to find out with him on loan. Massive mistake.

[@bdizzle211]

1) over coaching players and being so rigid when attacking. 2) buying “versatile” players who can play in a few positions but never a master of any one position. 3) buying very similar players like lanky/tall and not the quickest. We need some quick tekky players. 4) never buying an elite goal scoring CF since Auba left. Think players are beginning to have enough of him and he is slowly losing the dressing room.

[@Cafez27]

I love Arteta, he has done wonders for the club…. Arsenal have been terribly unlucky with injuries, this is simply a fact…. HOWEVER…..a lot the problems we have right now are down to COACHING…. Our biggest problem, isn’t signing an additional 2 forwards which we DO need, it’s the coaching to caution and control…. We are the second best at winning the ball high in the PL BUT 14th on the conversion of those high turnovers into goals. It’s because we are terrible in transition, instead of moving forward at pace to hurt the opposition, whilst they are out of shape we close space and take the ball to feet. It’s infuriating to watch and this is a coaching problem and therefore an Arteta problem, I hope for Mikel ‘s sake he sees this and makes the changes and adds a little more transition capability….

Rory is dead right here. On Arsenal’s right, their two balon d’or finalist attacking players from last season have had injuries and as a result Arsenal’s attack has been worse (shock). On top of that Arsenal haven’t replaced Xhaka properly which has made the left side of their attack worse than two years ago. So when the right isn’t clicking (because of the above injuries) like they did last season, they can’t rely on the left to make up for it. As for ESR - good player but he barely got a look in last season either. Nwaneri has taken that squad role and been playing more.

Arsenal aren't the same team they were last year because they have had injuries to Odegard, Saka and White. For the last 2 seasons we have been a strong, solid team that is devastating in attack down the right hand flank due to the interplay between those 3 players. If two of them are missing (as has been the case most of the season) we just aren't as good going forward. With all three we are deadly, with 2/3 we are good enough, with only one of them we start to struggle. The transfers were no ideal, but we couldn't get who we wanted. We wanted Zubemendi, he still doesn't want to leave Sociedad. We wanted Sesko, he didn't want to leave and signed a new contract. I think we were also very interested in Nico Williams but he again didn't want to leave. Ultimately, Arsenal just aren't prepared to go "Well, we didn't get who we really wanted, lets just spend 70mil on someone for the fuck of it who isn't a good fit but at least we can say we spent something" cos thats how you end up like Manchester United, with a team that doesn't function and absolutely no room to manovere on FFP.

Not signing attacking players to raise our level. Injuries and difficult fixtures. It's not a crisis.

[@willtallis5275]

Are you joking signed Jesus havertz trossard sterling there just crap that’s the reality

[@alexbrown975]

@@willtallis5275 The Havertz signing is the confusing one. Jesus was brilliant until he got injured, Trossard is a squad player and Sterling was a loan to appease moaning fans. Until we sign a world class winger and striker we won't win the league.

No team does what Rory’s saying so why is he even talking about it, no one in the world is signing a Isak in jan

Mckola calling anyone a weird bunch is the most hypocritical statement you'll ever hear😂 fucking melt

[@ParnhamT]

It's simple really. Pretty much all of our attacking players are out of form at the moment and all at the same time, barring Saka who is injured. Odegaard hasn't been the same since his injury, he hasn't been as creative, has lost the ball too many times and his shooting has been nothing like it was before. Martinelli and Trossard who both at some point had a fair few goals in them however lately their confidence seems very low and they aren't really contributing much on the wings and not taking players on. Havertz has struggled to score recently, I don't think he has always been the most confident in front of goal but things just aren't happening for him. Jesus doesn't play often but before his few goals recently he would try to hold onto the ball too much and be a bit selfish. We also do not really have a bench full of impact attackers, Merino hasn't really been amazing since we bought him, we have one replacement winger in sterling who hasn't really been able to get going. Basically our whole attack is flat and we don't have enough squad depth to change that. People keep saying we are full of injuries but how many of those injured players really make it into the first team

[@haiderali-ws1jo]

Arsenal are like a 40 year old baby moma who’s expecting a high value man to show up and save her

[@khalooozz3370]

Their front 3 is the problem, especially without saka. They desperately need a LW like a nico williams and a proper number 9

[@gspianoguitar4369]

What's the confusion? Arteta. (SouthArtetagate) has been shocking and now it's becoming more obvious just how abysmal he is. It's not about not having players it's about a manager who can simply put the right players in their right positions and get on with it. You have to see nothing more than the obsession to put a quality midfielder Partey at fback. It's utterly stupid but Arteta will go to his grave to prove that it will work - never did, never does, never will.

Saka is going to be good replacement for Miggy. Good option from bench for Murphy. Bukayo is a Geordie 🖤🤍

[@prometheustv6558]

They lack the mentality to win trophies

[@yokermn]

We Arsenal fans aren’t overreacting. We are tired of a manager who’s hell bent on spending money on other clubs’ rejects in departments that don’t need further improvements. Imagine having 70% possessions, with 3.6 xG and still losing the game 2-0. It’s clear where our problems lie but watch Farteta buy more back defenders..

[@osamaz9547]

“World class player in Odegaard”????? Odegaard is NO WHERE NEAR world class even when in form! Don’t be ridiculous 🤦🏽‍♂️

I never understood why Arsenal bought Sterling. City needed to get rid of him, and he never worked that well in Chelsea.

[@danielmcgrath680]

As a backup to Saka its not a bad idea. Cheap and still young enough to get some quality out of him that we know he has. Just didnt work out

[@brettpeyton3586]

Just remember Isak rejected Real Madrid before he went to Newcastle. There’s no way on this earth that Isak leaves Newcastle for arsenal. Never happening. Saka is a Newcastle fan and there’s more chance of him signing for Newcastle.
