Guys I have one question about Lacazete, can he run with the ball. I mean can he run 10 - 20 metres with the ball? Everytime I see him with the ball he is either turning and blocking or the ball is always dancing palongo in between his legs while he struggles to keep his balance. These were masked by his goal scoring ability, but with the goals dried up, he looks pathetic.

SOMEONE SAID TUPAC WOULD STILL BE ALIVE IF LACAZETTE WAS THE SHOOTER

Pierre Alexis Sanchemeyang? Hopefully not.

Person wey don pocket 300k, you expect him to put in the same energy?

Guys, quick question -- how did Pepe do?

How can you guys recoup the 71 million + wages of over 6 million that you guys have invested? O ma se o!

[danfo driver]

Must be the effect of the Europa League

How? They played at home while Spurs went all the way to Bulgaria!!!

It was not a walk in the park. They still had to run for 90+ minutes at home.

Teams are expected to play twice a week and the fact that you at home on Thursday and get the last game for the weekend means you should be able to recover and be ready for this match. No excuse. You can't use Ole's excuse cos it won't work. If Spurs can travel to Bulgaria and win and then return to play to the first game of the day and win as well then your team should be ashamed for making such pathetic excuse.

The guy is having a laugh. Ask him how many of the Arsenal 11 today played on thursday.

We seriously lack creativity.

Meanwhile our most creative player is sat on the sidelines so we can sell shirts in China.

This is not about any individual player. This is about the system that failed to produce on the day. It is about our approach to these games. It something I have touched on here many a time.

Only a few weeks ago, our goals to chances or strike rate was was above the norm. This is a trend that continued from last season. It was always obvious we will hit a bad patch and goal scoring will become an even bigger problem with the number of shots at goal and chance we are creating.

Arteta is a coach who loves his data, so he would have been aware of the need for creativity. To be fair, he tried to address this in the summer but when you chose to sideline your most creative player you leave a big void no matter what system you play. The game is about players.

Lacazette's quality is not in question. He delivered for is on our way to winning the FA cup. He is also a striker who depends on service. Auba is not scoring, hardly anyone is scoring, why pick on Lacazette? There is a reason why, it is not about any individual player.

Our problems are clear at present, we lack creativity and when we create the little we create we do not take them. Also teams have sussed out Arteta's system, it is easy to defend against and they are doing it. Arteta must find the answer to teams that play to hit us from their defensive blocks of 3.

Another problem is he has not stuck with the players who won silverware. Why not play Niles and Tierney on that left side. Start with Pepe, Willian is struggling to fit into Arteta's system and will take time. Stick with one creative outlet you had last season. Why change it so soon?

Arteta needs to find solutions, the hoid thing is, there is plenty time. But he must act sooner rather than later.

Well said about Ozil.

I said to one of my Man U friends that this decision to ostracise Ozil may well be the undoing of Mikel.

Okay, the selling our backup goalie to a potential rival was down to the management of the club but it is one of the stupidest decisions yet.

I commented earlier on in this thread about the ascendancy of AV and that their position last season wasn't reflective of their rebuilding effort.

Na wah.

[Siddonlook11]

- As much as I am a supporter of Ozil's skills , I dont think yesterday's game would have been influanced by Ozil or improved by any one creative player. The team was piss poor from back to front.

- Not one ball stuck to Auba or Laca except it was in the front of them or in the air any one ball that was played to their feet yesterday was lost ..

- willian did more bad than good yesterday it was so bad I would have taken him off in the first half - the first and second goals where all from him somewhat.

- Even rock solid Gabriel was guilty of some clearances that went straight to Villa and was out-positioned a couple of times

- Saka was bullied all game and was spent by the end of first half ( i also think he is being overplayed )

- Theirney has been off a few games and was so so bad yesterday.. the list goes on..Leno could have done well screaming at his back line but the guy be like gentleman and we did not need a gentleman keeper yesterday.

We needed for Character yesterday - Luiz, Kola , AMN and Xhaka if they were fit. Those guys dont play well but also dont get bullied. I felt so sorry for Saka yesterday that Villa guy brushed him endlessly and not one Arsenal player even Auba stood up or retaliated for him.

I trust Xhaka he would have gotten a yellow but would have brushed one or two Villa players .

Mo and Partey ( I don think Partey dodged out when he saw the game was going downhill ) ..

Lastly Arteta should read games and setup accordingly - yesterday needed Pepe, AMN and Kola and some games need Cedric not Bellerin.

Need the five sub rule to be reinstated. Arsenal looked clay footed all day...

oh really? How about Arteta getting out coached & schooled by the British block head named Dean Smith ... oh wait

[green4life]

...the moment I knew that Arteta is out of his depth......when he subbed Partey...

Even with Partey, Aston Villa MIdfielders (McGinn, Luiz & Barkley) ran riot and controlled the midfield from the opening whistle. Partey was not relevant yesterday.

To the victor the spoils of war...
But doesn't change my opinion of Dean Smith...
There's a reason he's at Villa...

Lacazette's quality is not in question. He delivered for is on our way to winning the FA cup

Is this another fantasy tale or did I watch a diff
cup run?

Semi final and finals was Auba,against City and Chelsea,Auba was the guy who delivered and gave us that troph.Also Martinez was on fire playing from back well,command his area.
Arteta will not last if he continue like this,Playing 8 games 4 win 4 lost is bad consider likes of Wolves,Palace,Everton, Soton,Leicester and Aston etc are ahead of us with a game in hand.

I don't think I set out to scapegoat Lacazete in what was a total team failure. I asked a question that has been burning in my mind long before Aston Villa set the Emirates on fire.

Everytime I see him with the ball he is either turning and blocking or the ball is always dancing palongo in between his legs while he struggles to keep his balance.
