Nothing to fear from Spurs.

posted on 8/8/21

Again I haven’t watched a minute of pre season, because that’s all that it is. But there is nothing to suggest we will improve on last season from what I’ve read. Another season wasted

And they have nothing to fear from us

Second half was quite disappointing tbh. We didn't look sharp and fell into old habits of last season.

We really do lack a cutting edge. Need to sort midfield out soon. And we need to rely less on wing play for goals.

We dont score from open play.

we don't score full stop

Sorry but you are wrong. He hasnt played out of position as he played years there
-----

GT, no offence, but your understanding of tactics and positioning isn't very good, so I'm not interested in your opinion on this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Samir no offence. Judged by you doesnt really means anything to me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

GT, you can't say people are wrong and not provide any proper reason for why they're wrong. I've tried to explain to you why I think Aubameyang is getting less goals, but you either don't or won't understand what I'm saying.

Aubameyang clearly isn't being played in the exact same way as he was before. It is quite obvious.

If you think he is, then I don't know what to say to you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And I tried to explain to you that Auba is familiar to play on the wing. The season he scored many goals he wasnt played at CB for us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Samir is correct.

Whilst you see him in a similar area of the pitch he is now being used as more of a left-winger in this formation and is expected to do a lot of covering back, more than a left forward would be expected to.

Secondly, Auba now has no creative midfielder slipping quality balls through for him on a regular basis, be that on the left or centrally.

I'm honestly so excited that things are starting to move on Odegaard. I genuinely believe Maddison would have been a bad signing for us. I don't think he's an intelligent player.

I think Maddison would have been a great signing but I'm happy with Odegaard, probably more sensible given the prices

After Balogun scores 4 tonight we won't need to find a CF either so we can pour our money into replacing Xhaka and a cheap backup GK

Xhaka won't be sold this year. Honestly, he's improving with age. Might be a player who peaks in his early thirties, given that mobility was never a strength.

Really hoping Balogun takes his chance. Believe strongly in his talent.

Odegaard is a much better fit for us. We need a conductor, not a connector. We already have ESR.

Don't mind keeping Xhaka just not as a starter, hence wanting to buy someone better

If he's here, we're strengthening elsewhere. We brought in Lokonga.

As much as I wanted him to leave, keeping Xhaka as a squad player isn't the real problem, not upgrading him is.

Part of the wanting him to leave was that it's safe to assume we won't be upgrading him whilst he's still here.

Not as a starter though, we still need to replace Xhaka to improve our first XI

Still so many issues in this Arsenal squad.

Xhaka never been our main problem. As long as we dont cover the real issues we stay a midtable team.

My expectation of the season are low. Not having one of Laca or Auba dont concern me. Having both out is a real concern.

Honestly, we're closer than people realise. A lot depends on how the youngsters develop.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You obviously have not much intelligence of the game then to come to that conclusion, Maddison is a top player.

Lots of top players aren't that intelligent in their play.

I'm honestly not interested in arguing the point, but players have different attributes. Some are faster, stronger, have better technique. Some are more intelligent than others. Some can hit a ball very hard. Usually they have a mixture of strengths and weaknesses. You can be a top player without being intelligent in your play.
