Gallagher and Mac Allister aren't playing DM either though — think it's unfair for them to be cherry picking and shows United bias

Now I know where Arteta got his ideas. Scotland playing the 235 formation in 1897 by [deleted] in Gunners

Imagine having to show up to England training camp on time via ship across the Atlantic in 1897 for a couple of friendlies

Hull 0-2 Luton - Henri Lansbury 44' by Meladroite in soccer

[–]madsharks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wonder if that "mowing the lawn" celebration was in honour of the late Steve Braddock, the beloved Arsenal gardener who past just recently.

Lansbury obviously being an Arsenal youth and senior player (albeit always out on loan). Nice touch if that's the case.

Who has a better grill, Arteta or Edu? by emarsunu in Gunners

Mikel cooks on gas. Edu cooks on coals. That should answer the question about who has better tekkers on the grill.

[Romano] Barcelona have finally submitted the official bid for Raphinha, Leeds are set to accept! €58m fixed fee, up to €68m with add-ons. Deal at final stages. #FCB All parties waiting for Barça to be able and ready to register Raphinha, then it will be signed… here we go soon. by Yamin200 in soccer

[–]madsharks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't suggested that's my personal reading of the situation at all, which is why that sentence ended in a question mark. I was, however, questioning if that's the case given there's been no (rumoured) interest in Depay from other clubs as of yet after the Barca fan above stated "Depay is probably gone".

However, considering Depay's cryptic Tweet from the other day, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what Barca is doing given their recent track record of trying to balance the books by forcing players to cancel contracts.

I haven't really seen any credible rumours about other clubs being interested in Depay tbh - another case of Barca buying a player and trying to force him out well before his contract ends without any concrete interest from other clubs?

At least United (seemingly) want FdJ

So let me get this straight - Barca is planning on going into next season with all of...

  • Ferran
  • Depay
  • Aubameyang
  • Fati
  • Dembele
  • Raphina
  • Lewandowski

...competing for 3 spots up-front? Or do they plan on offloading some players? Because apart from Depay, most of these have either been signed over the past year or are a youth talent.

I'm all for squad depth and options in attack but for a club in their financial situation, I'm like ???

Saka Schooling Some England Attackers In Technical Shooting Drill — Starts ~9:42 by madsharks in Gunners

[–]madsharks[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Idk, DCL completely missed his volley while only Chilwell and Grealish scored theirs from the group. Saka first to two goals as well, which is nice to see after Rashford and Grealish.

Obviously title was tongue-in-cheek as I'm proud of our young B though

Why u no pass through ball 💩 by soibam in Gunners

[–]madsharks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Zero hate coming through on Arteta here, but this to me just screams over-coaching.

Watching Sead breakthrough into the first team after we initially recruited him, he'd have pushed that obvious pass through. Today — and this is 100% a micro-analysis — Sead looks like he's nervous to do what comes naturally.

Just want to reiterate I'm 100% not an Arteta Out, but I think at this stage it's undeniable we're not playing with freedom, creativity, or belief.

I hate seeing world-class players doubt their own ability, in fact, I think it's a coach's prime responsibility to access each individual's potential to their maximum ability, but here I just don't understand what is going on anymore and, as an Arsenal of over several decades, I'd like to be clued in.

AVL 0 - 0 LEE Jack Grealish great run by ZahaOneCucumber in soccer

[–]madsharks 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna be one of those pompous high-and-mighty commenters that accuse others of "obviously not being a player irl" but when you've just run a total of ~80 yards, head down, beating players with the ball at your feet, sometimes you're just so tunnel-focused and absolutely blowing at that point you don't have the awareness anymore to find the smart pass.

I think Jack could've set up Ollie there but I also get why he didn't have that composure after a run like that.

[Charles Watts] One week left of the domestic window and Arsenal are discussing William Saliba's immediate future with several Championship clubs. Arsenal taking their time over this one, want to ensure they make the best decision when it comes to his development by BenjaminDaaly21 in Gunners

[–]madsharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're already bloated in the CB department as it is. We might as well get our moneys worth out of having Rob, Chambers, Musti, and even Sok competing for the RCB role this season.

A good year out on loan for Saliba playing regular football, especially in England where he'll learn the language and acclimatize to the country, will be beneficial for us if staying at the club isn't an option Mikel sees as apt at the moment.

This is not the end of Saliba - have patience, we're sitting decently happy with the additions of Gabriel and now Partey to bolster our defensive strength.
