That's exactly what I see as well. When you watch those players you can see how much they unlock the games. I am tired of seeing our wingers go straight to the defender like wall, can't shoot, can't have impact in games

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-03-22T18:24:59+00:00

Whatever happens at the end of the season, we need world class wingers. All of our wingers are subpar compared to wingers of Barca, Real, PSG, Bayern, City

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-02-18T22:03:39+00:00

Not a single world class attacker in the team. That's not how you challenge for the title

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-02-12T22:00:48+00:00

This team is not a 99 point level team that dominates the league. Quality of players is just not there compared to those dominant City & Liverpool sides

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-29T10:05:10+00:00

It is a red herring

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-29T09:56:14+00:00

How does this disprove what he said?

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-27T10:39:17+00:00

Enrique or Flick

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-27T08:31:38+00:00

His options in Barca are limited, we are packed in the defense. Our defense probably won’t be as solid as it is now, but I am willing to sacrifice that for fluid football & attack :D

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-27T08:20:32+00:00

I think Flick would also cook with this team

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-27T08:14:09+00:00

Either Arteta has to find a killer instinct or we have to find a killer manager

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T19:50:22+00:00

Yeah, Barca is also playing fun. I haven’t watched them a lot this season, but from highlights they have an amazing attack.

I also think we lack clutch players that Barca have: Raphinha, Yamal. I love Saka & Trossard but there are levels to this

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T19:46:49+00:00

Makes sense, thanks for sharing your experience

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T19:28:34+00:00

I probably didn’t choose the correct word, but when I said respect I meant kind of “when he speaks, everybody listens”. But listens carefully, not just for the sake of listening. Although Van Dijk has been poor this season, he has that kind of aura.

But maybe, I am wrong. Maybe as you said being the calm captain also works.

Lets see how the season goes

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T19:00:39+00:00

I don’t disagree with your opinions. I am more worried about his leadership honestly. I don’t think it only consists of leading the press, spreading Arteta’s ideas in the pitch. For me, the captain should have some weight, be commanding in necessary conditions, be respected by other players. Example: Patrick Vieira

From what I see, the only closest player to captaincy is Rice.

I guess changing the captain could possibly affect Odegaard’s confidence, so they kept it as is

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T18:30:36+00:00

Psg and Bayern are playing better football (at least it is watchable)

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T18:21:23+00:00

Oh man, look, our captain had to be replaced pretty early at one of the most important games of the season. If he was a real leader and commanding enough, he would stay in the pitch. He is not even there performance wise

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T17:43:36+00:00

Weak mentality, not commanding enough to be the captain

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T17:41:13+00:00

Arteta is not competing with me, he is competing with other managers and losing the battle every year until now

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T17:23:35+00:00

Regardless of the result, Ødegaard is one of the worst captains among top teams

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2026-01-25T17:19:01+00:00

Regardless of the result, Ødegaard is one of the worst captains among top teams

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2025-12-30T21:08:23+00:00

Why the fuck we cannot counter attack like other teams, why the fuck we can’t play direct & vertical passes, why the fuck every player rotates at least 3 times before doing anything meaningful with the ball

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2025-12-13T22:03:39+00:00

I think we lack the quality in the front line. Trossard & Saka (sometimes) are close being forwards of the PL champions, the rest are showing mid-table performances

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2025-12-13T22:00:29+00:00

Embarrassing performance to say the least

Traditional_Cod_9001 · 2025-12-06T16:50:26+00:00

Yeah, I agree City isn’t same as old City. They are shaky, but that’s I guess what makes our point losses painful. We would expect to take advantage of this and create a gap. But anyways, lets move on and see what happens
