On Troy Deeney, there were some here who supported him when he said the following:Cally wrote:Well laid out, Waffi. I look at this team and I don't see mental midgets. This is the same narrative that's been peddled about this team for the past few years, and always surfaces once we struggle in a game or lose. The team is fighting against mental 'giants' for the top 4, and are firmly in the mix, yet they are mental midgets.Waffiman wrote:Spot on bro. So easy to criticise without looking at the holistic viewpoint. Arsenal this season after Europa Thursday games are played 5 won 5. Put into proper context, Chelsea are yet to win after a midweek Europa game, losing 2 drawing 3. A remarkable record for mental midgets. Look, we have issues away from home, but we just won. There is a problem though, winning away from home does not fit in with the narrative.Robbynice wrote:Definitely not Robbynice. With that said, thank God for the massive 3 points today. This is the business end of the season and all that matters is the win. Fact not feelings!The YeyeMan wrote:Who?

The most annoying part is the TV commentary during games. Those guys tried to justify every single rough and violent play by Watford by either dismissing them as aggressive play, or describing the Arsenal players as soft. That red card came as a result of Deeney trying to apply the proverbial 'leveler' to Torreira at the beginning of the game. Its the regular blueprint for the likes of Deeney. They start a game by extreme rough play seeking to instill fear in the opponent, and set the tone for the rest of the game. Unfortunately, his antics got caught this time, and he had to walk.
Glad we won that game, whether against 10 men or not.
“Arsenal lack cojones”
He also said.
"Whenever I play against Arsenal, I'll go up and think 'let me whack the first one and see who wants it.'"
He knew what he was doing and deservedly got the red card.
My concern is this will lead to one of our players being seriously hurt because the Refs now make them fair game. What the Watford players got away with last night was down to the Ref and he was a disgrace.

Xhaka on Napoli: “They have to come [at us]. We had a good result at home, we have to stay compact in defence, good balance & if we score one away goal, I think the game is finished but they are strong enough to beat us if they are not ready.” #afc
Whilst i agree we gotta stay compact with good balance, i truly believe we must take the irrepressible approach Ajax played vs Juve(yesterday) as inspiration - in our case for at least the 1st 60/65mins - we want to force them to defend deep, move their backline far from their forwards & make their fans very nervous.
Sitting back, starting passive as we've done away to Everton & Watford builds confidence for the opposition - we can't be about that life - start on the front foot.
My 11 vs Napoli - formation is 3-4-1-2 can easily morph into 3-4-1-2/5-4-1 on defence
Auba Mkhi
Ramsey
Sead Xhaka LT Niles
Monreal Kos Sokratis
Cech
I am taking pace over aesthetics - Mkhi will be encouraged to play as a 2nd striker - run at that backline every chance you get - will actually prefer Iwobi in Ramsey's spot. Xhaka & LT stay camped in front of the back 3 while crosses in must be like the way Mkhi shoots them - lots of pace(looking for deflections).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Going forward to the offseason - great piece by Gary_N - former FB who knows what he's talkin' 'bout. We need speedy wide forwards(used to be wingers) to make us more dangerous.

Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Development for 2018/2
How can this team play like Ajax?From what I read their set up is super from youth to first team,director of football,coaches etc.
Why do we keep going for over price players when likes of Ajax getting pure bargain and doing the job.
Look at our team and compare with this Ajax team,i doubt if we can pick more than 2 players to start in this Ajax

If he plays Torreira and Xhaka as pivots, Sokratis and Kos as CDs, Laca and Auba up front, having Ozil and Ramsey in support. Niles and Kolasinac will out run their wide attackers and FBs. These group plays anywhere close to their best, we will be more than happy. Napoli will have to play out of their skins to beat us on Thursday.

I am good with Zaha also but Traore hmmm what a wasted talent ... that boy has had horrible coaches. But Abeg I dont want Neres , he was shiite again yesterday against Juve made wrong decisions everytime and over played , the commentators complain tire ...if he had kept it simple Juve for take 5 chop yesterday. In fact the whole Ajax team wasted chances yesterday, they would have easily embarrassed Juve at home.Ebyboy wrote:Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Siddonlook11 wrote:Why ?

Xhaka has his humble moments - but i might be reaching. For all the issues Ozil created playing thru the lines in the 1st leg & Ramsey coming from deep - i'll rather go at them with a couple more direct players who can attack with the ball(playing off Auba) - we need to turn a hostile Napoli fanbase into a Latin Nervous one quick - i expect Unai to pick mainly as he did in London with Xhaka in. Front foot start!!!!
If I give you a good wine, you will see how it tastes and after you ask where it comes from,'' ""To put players in my team who are not good enough will not strengthen the England team, and would weaken the Arsenal team.''The only thing I can say is that whenever England do not win it is always my fault,even when I am not at the game".Wenger said.

Spurs should forget about EPL top 4 and focus on CL football. Maybe they can beat AJAX ... Just Maybe.
Hopefully Man City is angry enough to beat the crap out of them on Saturday ...
United has only Top 4 to play for ...

We had a good result at home, we have to stay compact in defence, good balance & if we score one away goal, I think the game is finished but they are strong enough to beat us if they are not ready.” #afc
Whilst i agree we gotta stay compact with good balance, i truly believe we must take the irrepressible approach Ajax played vs Juve(yesterday) as inspiration - in our case for at least the 1st 60/65mins - we want to force them to defend deep, move their backline far from their forwards & make their fans very nervous.
Sitting back, starting passive as we've done away to Everton & Watford builds confidence for the opposition - we can't be about that life - start on the front foot.
My 11 vs Napoli - formation is 3-4-1-2 can easily morph into 3-4-1-2/5-4-1 on defence
Auba Mkhi
Ramsey
Sead Xhaka LT Niles
Monreal Kos Sokratis
Cech
I am taking pace over aesthetics - Mkhi will be encouraged to play as a 2nd striker - run at that backline every chance you get - will actually prefer Iwobi in Ramsey's spot. Xhaka & LT stay camped in front of the back 3 while crosses in must be like the way Mkhi shoots them - lots of pace(looking for deflections).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Going forward to the offseason - great piece by Gary_N - former FB who knows what he's talkin' 'bout. We need speedy wide forwards(used to be wingers) to make us more dangerous.
https://www.skysports.com/football/news ... ier-league
If he plays Torreira and Xhaka as pivots, Sokratis and Kos as CDs, Laca and Auba up front, having Ozil and Ramsey in support. Niles and Kolasinac will out run their wide attackers and FBs. These group plays anywhere close to their best, we will be more than happy. Napoli will have to play out of their skins to beat us on Thursday.
Xhaka has his humble moments - but i might be reaching. For all the issues Ozil created playing thru the lines in the 1st leg & Ramsey coming from deep - i'll rather go at them with a couple more direct players who can attack with the ball(playing off Auba) - we need to turn a hostile Napoli fanbase into a Latin Nervous one quick - i expect Unai to pick mainly as he did in London with Xhaka in.

I am an unapologetic Emery stan but...for the love Mr.Bergkamp all Gooners implore Emery to unleash the proverbial Kraken. This team does not do conservatism, this team awful when opposition has the momentum. Please El Padrino do not play to 1st leg result.

Glad we agree on Traore. Not sure about Neres either.Siddonlook11 wrote:I am good with Zaha also but Traore hmmm what a wasted talent ... that boy has had horrible coaches. But Abeg I dont want Neres , he was shiite again yesterday against Juve made wrong decisions everytime and over played , the commentators complain tire ...if he had kept it simple Juve for take 5 chop yesterday.

Not going to happen sha..Everton will not sell ..
which Richalison? Na only Arsenal defenders him sabi bulldoze. Abeg we should use small money to take Zaha and Traore...make dem take turns replacing Ramsey. Even though dem be somewhat headless chickens, dem fit come good and will be worth any small money we are able to pay for them. Let them come and run at all these yeye teams that like harassing us because of gentle players like Ozil and Mkhi upfront.
I am with you there. I am not with Traore though.
Zaha would be a welcome addition.

We cannot let our opponents or their fans get into our heads.
Momentum is key.
