No_Problemo Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 If only Arsenal had an excellent one v one defender to bring on to help see this out… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Interesting they didn't bring on Kiwior and put him to left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Just now, eez-eh said: Tierney doesn’t look comfortable trying to play as an “inverted” full back the way Arteta wants him to. It does seem a bit ridiculous though that literally anyone else is preferred at full back now, including out of position centre halves and midfielders. They started the game with a right sided centre back at left back. When he got sent off, they put on a centre back and moved another right sided centre back out to left back. They also started with a central midfielder at right back. At this point, Tierney is no closer to the first team than I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s clearly some tactical decision to play right sided centre backs at left back. I have no clue what it is though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Has there been a falling out with him and Arteta ? Fair enough he doesn't excel in your system and you've possibly written him off as surplus to requirements but shoehorning out of position players into your defence and not even sticking him on the bench seems a bit stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I assume they don't want to play Tierney in case he gets injured and then they can't sell him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The Scotland Euro 2024 squad is just going to be McGinn + other 25 other guys who exclusively appeared in Worthington's Cup games this season. At least we'll have some fresh legs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Surely there's someone other than Karen Carney who could speak about the women's game. For the position she's in, she states a lot of opinion rather than fact. Sponsors should go 50/50 on the sponsorship for the men and womens teams.

Cardle is Magic Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Should have been more comfortable for Arsenal tbh. In total control until the red and should have been at least a couple of goals up by then. You just never thought for a second that Palace were going to score. Edouard is not the answer for them at all. No improvement at all on the MNF coverage sadly. Just switched it off after the game when I’d normally keep watching until 11:00/11:30. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 City will win it and Liverpool will be second imo. Mac Allister and Szoboszlai are upgrades on Henderson and Keita. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Arsenal are so completely reliant on the Odegaard-Saka partnership, if you can call it that. There's not enough creativity in the team outwith those to sustain a title winning campaign if they get injured or go off form. Also galaxy brain Arteta's insistence on copying Pep's style, and applying his own contrived edge to them, will cost them at some point. 1. Man City 2. Liverpool 3. Arsenal 4. Tottenham 5. Newcastle 6. Brighton 18. Wolves 19. Sheffield Utd 20. Luton -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
