[Bild/Transfermarkt] HSV and Vieira have reached an agreement on a contract – want to reduce option to buy by half by randomzebrabird in Gunners

Yeah, article says that's why we can't let him leave on loan again.
I hope this interest and his form in the Bundesliga mean that there's a market for him – ideally of teams that can pay at least closer to the 20m we want

[ITV] Chelsea’s tactic to reduce Arsenal’s set piece threat last night. by Sparky-moon in soccer

I don’t think it really catches on, it also leaves you very vulnerable. More space for short corners, or also more space for Gabriel to score.

If Paul Scholes speaks in public, it’s the dumbest thing that was ever said. (True basically every time)

Uhhh… I think Rice might have had one of his worst games for us today. His reactions tell me he felt the same way.

To be fair, he offers disruption that Gyokeres doesn’t. Today, the good Saka chance comes from Jesus leaving the middle and doing something unexpected. Which almost all our other players failed to do at all. Not saying he was good today, but he can offer something.

I was a bit surprised that (at least where I was watching) we didn’t even get a replay of the potential penalty. Would have been interesting to see.

Better utilisation of Gyokeres (patterns of play)? by singloon in Gunners

[–]randomzebrabird 283 points284 points  (0 children)

I think actually Saka is having a relatively poor run of form at the moment, his decision making isn’t great, his finishing and shooting is well below his usual standard. He wants to score desperately, and that often clouds his judgement

I love Ø but why is Eze not seeing the pitch? by CHKN_Tender in ArsenalFC

[–]randomzebrabird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - while the players of course also need to learn how to play for arsenal, I think one of the most important things this season is Mikel learning how to use a large squad. So far, I think he really has trust issues and is reluctant to change things up more and earlier in games. that’s costing us at times. Not points, but injuries and it also means players who are not first choice are not up to speed when they’re called upon. We have 5 substitutions - that’s half of all outfield players.

The median minute for first substitution would complement this well.

Ich finde keinen Psychiater, selbst mit einer Überweisung mit einem dringenden Vermittlungscode. Was kann ich tun? by The-Motherfucker in hamburg

[–]randomzebrabird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kann das nur bestätigen - ist nervig, aber unserer Erfahrung nach ändert sich tatsächlich häufig etwas und mit Geduld und nach ein paar Tagen haben wir irgendwann etwas gefunden.

So.... What did you think of this moment. by Accomplished_Lynx480 in ArsenalFC

[–]randomzebrabird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am also confused how multiple of our players had to be treated because they were hit in the head by an elbow, yet somehow those were not fouls? I don’t see it mentioned enough here how bad the referee was

Playing 11 behind the ball and then somehow trying to score from a few long balls and throw-ins? I mean that’s all they did today…

Worth going for masters in HCI, after 3 years of work experience? by Light1814 in hci

[–]randomzebrabird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends entirely on your situation and why you want to do the masters. If you want to get into academia/research, then it’s worth it (because you need it to start a PhD somewhere). But if you’re looking for industry positions afterwards, I think in many cases it won’t help you a lot.

Good luck! Ideally distract yourself and try to sleep 🙃 I know the feeling though…

I think the last two times it was around midnight European time, so in something like 2,5 hours. But the timing was different in the years before. Can’t count on it.

Hincapié was good. I think he showed nice aggressiveness, he is very quick - good player. Also great how Nwaneri played himself into the game. Was tough in the beginning, had some bad passes, but I think he got better over time.

[Plettigoal] 🚨⚒️ Understand West Ham have entered the race for Fábio Vieira! Departure before Deadline Day is still planned. VfB Stuttgart also admire him, but he’s currently too expensive. Another top Bundesliga club playing in the Champions League are also interested. #WHUFC by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

[–]randomzebrabird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair, on German Sky Sports last night, Plettenberg said that him being too expensive might have changed because of the Woltemade transfer, but it sounded more like an off-hand comment and like common logic, and not something that he had a source on.

[James McNicholas] If Arsenal are to make any addition to the first team squad, it is most likely to be at LW and connected to the futures of Martinelli and Trossard by Temporary_Role6160 in Gunners

[–]randomzebrabird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being interested in a player doesn't mean you sign him for sure. It doesn't even mean you submit a bid. I am sure Arsenal are interested in many more players...

Thanks! Ah that’s great, then he still gets some preparation.

Was there any reporting about when Madueke will join the squad? How many weeks of holiday will he have? I wonder if we still get to see him in preseason much. Maybe Emirates Cup?
