The Arsenal FC - Related News and Development for 2019/2020

Arsenal used the press on ManU a lot. Ozil led from the front according to Statsbomb. He was more active than anybody with 44 pressure events, narrowly edging out Lacazette's 42.



It must be said. Ozil had the highest average speed to his most distance covered. Recovered the ball more than anyone on the pitch. He did all these whilst providing creative vision and creativity, with eye in the needle passes, and clever little dribbles, playing in that midfield. He was drifting wide and as a false nine, giving Pepe the room the drift inside. Watch Ozil's movement for Arsenal's first goal. His movement was the problem ManU could not solve all game.

Bearing in mind how these stats are gathered ie human observation and punching to an app, I would leave room for margins of error.

For my eye o, na Laca cover ground pass. Make I leave am there.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if it came down 2 the end of the season and it had 2 be the Gunners as the only legit team standing between Liverpool and Invincibility. Talk about pressure

Waffiman,

What are you hearing regarding January Xfer? Do we have a realistic chance of bringing in some quality players this January for squad depth because I think Arteta's problem will be finding enough able bodies to play and grind out result week in and week out especially for a team lacking in fitness.

We must be careful with analytics as we know only too well stats are used and manipulated for differing agendas. This is why clear definitions and criteria are set with regards to use of data and put in context.

My bro, speaking from experience and one who uses different data collection sets. The differences are set out in definitions and where definitions are the same, there are hardly any differences let alone significant differences.

The only rumours I have heard is our players many thought were going to leave are now thinking about staying till the summer. Apart from that, I have not heard much.

Thought about that already.

Waffi any update on the transfer market situation yet?

E be like say as Auba and Xhaka don commit to the end of the season, the club are backtracking on new signings. To be honest, I won't be too disappointed if we don't sign any so I am not getting my knickers in a twist over the transfer updates.

It won't be good if we don't. We need to sign quality players to give MA quality bench. Like against Chelsea when Lampard made the Jorghino move, I believe it's lack of quality of the bench that tied MA's hand. Adding quality players to the current squad will only brighten our chances of making the top 4.

Call me a perennial optimistic i still believe the top 4 is within our grips if the progression seen in the team in the last 3 matches is anything to go about. This team can only get better.

For this season, I'm realistic enough to accept our fate if we don't bro. Nontheless setting oneself a high target is always a good thing.

For too long this club has set the bar too low.

As per getting to top 4, I believe we can rough it out with the squad we have even if we aren't successful in the transfer market.

If we have to acquire any players though, I am hoping we can achieve that through a loan deal if we can't get the top class defensive players that we need.

Thanks. I really hope we bring in some few reinforcement preferably some loan moves to give Arteta a semblance of a quality pool to choose players.

I am willing to bet that we won't spend this transfer window. If anything does happen at all, it will be a loan.

Happy New Year!

Good ebening...

Harrison Odiegwu Maguire, tantamount to abuse.

The amazing thing about that video link is the amount of brutal challenges the likes of Maguire and Fred got away with. Man United brought axes and their own referee. They still lost

Chelsea also came with the same hacking game plan.

The problem with referees who are allowing that type of behavior is that they don't allow you to retaliate. Every time you hack them back you get a card but your opponent is given carte blanche to hack you any time they feel like.

Arsenal players are collectively running around 5 miles more per game than under Emery, up from 107.1miles per game before Arteta's appointment to 112.1miles per game since he came in.

[ojafranpa]

Mesut Ozil ran 7.1 miles against United - the most in the team & his personal best for two years

[Sleaky72]

So it’s no longer ASSISTS, CHANCES CREATED OR
.... HEAVEN’S FORBID: (GOALS)!!!
Its now a celebration of “Running” stats for Mesut Ozil!
I’m sure the Kroenke’s who pay him one of the highest salaries in the league and the teammates he’s been stealing a living off of, will be real happy with this revelation!
They won’t soon forget that all along he’s been strolling on the field while they’ve been busting their @ss 4 him.
Great news to know.
And how wise of some to celebrate this unmatched milestone.
Wow a footballer actually giving effort Who would’ve imagined that

You've gotta believe in a player to get returns - human relations - Man management. Skip Ozil - what did LT do wrong(he was totally misused by Unai)? Why are David Luiz, Niles all of a sudden buzzing? Why's Leno not having to make the most saves in the EPL?
Ozil was off the team for a longtime & we lacked vision - leave the kid alone for a min & tell us why Emery should be the next Real Madrid coach(just saying)!!!!
Ozil, ironically was right - Unai was out of his depth
Like Sokratis said - "the fun is back"

[tolahs]

For too long many chose to believe notions of collective effort to achieve big things had to be permanently alien to the Gooner_nation. Some of us wondered why a guy like Brendan Rodgers could go to LCFC with less resources at his disposal, less talent & over a shorter period can go as far as he has so far.
It comes down to vision, real leadership where you take the troops along with you. We now see an Arsenal team with barely anytime to rest due to congested fixtures keep great spaces between players & hold shape that has most of the fanbase & our haters stomped.
We've played matches w/o real FBs & not embarrassed ourselves - nice to see the solidarity amongst the players, we now have an idea why Pooch & Pep wanted Mikel as an assistant.
If we keep the same habits, we stand a very good chance of making the CL via Europa - as is - one leg at a time - this dream some real ish!!!

What’s really scary is that u actually thought this nonsense through and felt you’ve actually made a smidgen uv sense.
You can continue dis journey by your lonesome, amigo.

Hmmm hatred has natural blinders.

Our first goal started from a tackle and steal from our half ( both executed by the same person) abeg who can guess who that player was ?

Hint it was not LT and it was not Xhaka....

I already asked this question, they refused to answer
