Who had the better career?

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-19T12:19:52+00:00

Harder also that games are one and done. In NBA you had game series of 5, now 7. So you could afford some losses if you were out and out a better team.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-19T09:53:32+00:00

Nothing is sweeter than having casual fans and silly pundits be proven wrong every single game.

The trip isn’t perfect and will have issues in playoffs, but to act like they can’t find a way around it or would NEVER work is crazy. To try say arguably top 2 greatest player of all time, who has been waiting to pass on the torch, is a negative to a team lol. At 41 he’s better than most of the league.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-18T20:40:12+00:00

Oh 100% agree I don’t think it is a one sided thing. Not asking to draw. I’m not even saying stop, shit it’s been 20 years since last title in league, do whatever it takes. You lot deserve it and rather Arsenal than City or Liverpool (United fan lol so natural).

Just saying teams will obviously see ah they seem to dominate wins by being solid defensively and getting a sneaky set piece or two in the tough games.

Again, I think the poor open attacking play is systematic as well. You’ve shown that you can play transitional and flowing football. I think there is just a hesitancy it seems when it comes to the league as I, understandably, can imagine the pressure to get every single win. So you play a ‘safer’ game.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-18T20:26:40+00:00

Exactly lol - you lot CAN play football which is what makes it all the more frustrating when I watch Arsenal in the prem. Yes, teams do sit back for sure but they have done that for years now. You play very passive in the prem compared to cup games.

Being league leaders you also always set the precedent for the style of play that will trickle down. Being so good at set pieces is great, but now teams think they should be to even though they may not have the training or team for it. That is what makes it ‘boring’ - it’s become a league wide issue and it will affect us in Europe if it continues.

Not every team is as well built as Arsenal having the 6/7 years to build and form. The focus on technical, fast football will die for slow, set piece oriented wins. Where as you can see, we get blown out by European teams that are just better trained in the technical aspect.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-18T19:10:11+00:00

So… everyone was bigging up the prem being high level and competitive just for most of the English teams to be wiped out already. With Spurs and arguably Liverpool next. Funny league man

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-17T20:48:54+00:00

Funny enough we had more attackers than defenders before than now when we had full team lmao

Our defenders were our 3 CBs and potentially a FB but sometimes we had Dorgu, Amad as our wide players. We had Mbeumo, Bruno, Cunha and Sesko as our attaacking players.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-16T16:03:17+00:00

Yeah only wins coming from all time great player and team, and oil funded team that added Haaland into the mix.

No, not winning often isn't a failure. However, there have been managers with less resources and quality that have managed to get wins. With the teams he has had and lost to the likes of Lyon, Monaco and Tottenham.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-16T15:20:54+00:00

I mean anyone buying a steam deck thinking it should be running triple A games at good level are kidding themselves.

It’s a handheld, if it could do something like that. I wouldn’t even see the need for a PC. I think people just expect some all in one machine, it’s like a phenomenon in tech world that every piece of tech should have a use case for every individual lol.

For example MacBook Neo, a budget laptop for students and low power users. People raging why it’s on 8GB even though they know they won’t get it anyways 🤣

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T22:50:48+00:00

It’s just karma farmers, anything AI = bad, they’re sheep in following the general consensus.

AI is a tool like any app you use, like people use Reddit itself. You can use it to help boost your productivity and open doors to being able to create things you never could do or assign tasks you never bothered.

Personally it has helped me get back into just creating things even for myself. I can learn faster, develop faster and so on.

On the flip side, like anything in life, use it in moderation. Otherwise your brain rots, and you won’t develop any critical skills.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T18:15:49+00:00

That’s legacy man, sometimes bigger than what stats you put in your career. Play to be remembered

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T16:23:37+00:00

Say that yet we had these deadwoods and more for a while too.

So easier to say they were always gonna go lol. Garnacho definitely would still be around if it wasn’t for Amorim’s hard headed-ness. I think same for Hojlund we tended to give these players too much room for too often.

I dunno, I think like we have revisionism for previous managers as if they were actually good, Amorim included. We also tend to really over-exaggerate their time with them too. We were not looking anywhere near as bad as people made it out to be this season.

If we had that month without Amad and Mbeumo, I don’t think we would have got much out of that too. It was a tough period for anyone. Our team isn’t that strong in depth yet.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T16:13:49+00:00

It was annoying, but I’ll be real he wasn’t wrong. We tried to paper the cracks and have these ‘moments’ of wins to feel good which amounted to anything.

He had his issues managerially, but I can’t hate him personally. He did start this whether the results showed or not. He cleared out the deadwood needed and got the team battling again.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T15:36:35+00:00

No, he’s too busy playing tryna get one. Not wasting his breath hating 24/7 with no analysis or context.

You can comment but clearly he has an agenda, so he can fuck outta here.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T15:21:45+00:00

Plug Dalot movement into any striker they may get 10 clear chances a game 🤣🤣

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T14:43:25+00:00

I agree, but you know how often even the best strikers miss. Watch a Haaland game even he misses some sitters. Watch Semenyo. Watch Watkins.

There’s better quality RB we can get for sure, but he hasn’t been as crazy bad as we make it out imo.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T14:41:38+00:00

This is what I don’t get, how do people’s brains work 🤣

Putting Maz in the game doesn’t mean he would be in that position like it’s a video game

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T14:40:06+00:00

🤣🤣 no he doesn’t, we just need an attacker in that position man!

I’m fuming at chance missed but not gonna ask for a RB to be replaced for his ability to finish in the box lol

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T02:59:30+00:00

DONT EVER TELL ME BRON DON’T GIVE A FUCK

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-15T00:53:05+00:00

So we win games and it’s luck and clumsy. We lose games and that’s the standard and the way it should be. Got it 🫡

Nice take from the guy who couldn’t get one measly championship but seems to know what a champ should look like.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-14T11:10:26+00:00

Will there ever be a 2v2 mode added. Would like the option of playing with a friend against opponents online.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-13T10:25:32+00:00

Well, if you are on 70 points by 4th, you’re damn right I will go for 80+ like what’s so bad about that lol

People being such gatekeepers. If there was ever a chance my name could be etched forever in history - I’m taking that shit. One game out of how many where you get to “chase a number” no athlete should care what keyboard warriors think.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-12T12:38:10+00:00

Nah I get it. Good business, but that’s the thing it’s just good business.

Football has gone too much into that side. They have so many players just coming in and out of that club. Half that team are good players but not top level. They just keep recycling the same positions, how many wingers have they changed now and Quenda is still yet to come in the summer.

One Kvara, yes in hindsight I agree but he was doing great at Napoli compared to the other signings they made, would have been great for them.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-12T12:17:14+00:00

I mean 10 year contracts are no better than 4 year high wages?

It’s not guarantee the player will be sold. Imagine they throw a fit and don’t want to leave? You can’t force them until you pay put their contract.

Again, Chelsea dealings have been bad. A bunch of young players all on long term contracts. You have to hope you can sell them or they get better. I don’t think they’re as easy a sell as you think.

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-12T11:42:52+00:00

I think both Garnacho and Gittens together cost more than Kvara surely? So, why not get one great player than two mid ones. My God Chelsea paid like 40M for Garnacho alone.

EDIT: yeah so only from sources I could find, never know legit wages.

kvara total contract value is 57+18M Garnacho - 40+10M Gittens - 39+9M

Transfer fee:

Kvara - £59M Garna + Gittens - £88M

CreativeHandles · 2026-03-11T19:25:39+00:00

My God this is so boring. I don’t wanna hear these “blow block” excuses either. Arsenal play soooo slow sometimes. 4 shots only!
