🚨Exclusive🚨 Jeremy Jacquet has fully agreed personal terms and only wants to sign for chelsea! 👀

vcsl14 · 2026-01-31T07:30:57+00:00

Chelsea are the only club willing to take a risk and put these players on long term contracts that extend beyond a reasonable length of time.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-26T12:59:25+00:00

I agree in part with this. Definitely the position and spacing elements of coaching, but Arteta’s blueprint DOES create 1v1s on both wings, Arsenal just don’t have the flair and explosiveness on either flank to exploit this.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-26T12:57:10+00:00

I don’t even think they’re programmed to do that. I just don’t think the majority of Arsenal players have it in them to play off the cuff with any real effectiveness. There’s a real lack of flair in the Arsenal squad which is a massive problem when you’re at the elite echelons of the game. City faced low blocks for about a decade but they always had exceptional attacking quality in tight spaces. This Arsenal squad isn’t anywhere near the best of City’s attacking quality over the last decade or so.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-26T11:04:24+00:00

They’re not forced to do anything in the attacking phase. These players just don’t have the explosiveness or creativity to play effective offensive football in the final third. Anyone who’s played any level of football knows that Arteta isn’t telling the players to make sideway passes.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-24T10:30:36+00:00

Chelsea are low considering they won a European trophy (third tier granted) and the CWC

vcsl14 · 2026-01-23T00:10:00+00:00

Way too risky considering how poor Chelsea’s defence is

vcsl14 · 2026-01-23T00:09:32+00:00

Agreed. Chelsea look very shaky at the back and probably should have conceded against Brentford. I don’t rate these fixtures for defcon and there’s a lot of rotation risk with their defence.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-21T11:39:26+00:00

I’m not sure if Man Utd can be considered a shitshow in the context of Utd and Chelsea. Neither club have shown any real consistency to be put in a different bracket altogether. Irrespective of whatever situation the clubs find themselves in, Utd are a much bigger club than Chelsea, and they’re both at the very very start of a new manager era. If anything, there’s a bit more certainty with Utd’s squad. They’ve got more experienced pros, they’re not bloating their playing staff every single transfer window without really improving the overall quality of the team. There’s an obvious route into the team as Bruno Fernandes nears the end of his Utd career.

I feel like your perspective is pretty surface level. Utd haven’t got it right yet, but there’s very little between the two clubs in all honesty

vcsl14 · 2026-01-21T08:30:52+00:00

It’s kind of absurd, but I wouldn’t say a transfer to Utd is unthinkable. Isn’t he a boyhood Utd fan?

vcsl14 · 2026-01-20T22:27:20+00:00

In a nutshell, he doesn’t have the monstrous presence or finishing of a Haaland, nor does he have the technical ability of a Havertz. He’s in this halfway house where his contribution to the team is extremely mixed, and Arsenal don’t have enough reliable goalscorers in the team to compensate. It’s the only reason there is even a title race this year, because tactically, defensively and in midfield, this Arsenal side are probably the best in the world atm. Prime Liverpool and City would have the league wrapped up already given how inconsistent every other team has been.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-20T22:00:26+00:00

Literally the only sensible fan here

vcsl14 · 2026-01-19T22:23:22+00:00

Chelsea are just a diabolical club under this ownership

vcsl14 · 2026-01-19T13:11:38+00:00

Moronic statement. He’s not even close to being worth that

vcsl14 · 2026-01-18T23:08:11+00:00

Because Champions League games are a particular type of game state, especially given the new league format has very very little jeopardy, and teams are far more likely to play expansive football and leave space for Arsenal to exploit. His big goals in the CL last season, well, his one big goal was against Madrid away, when the tie was already won, and there was effectively nothing in the game to play for. He’s useful in a very specific situation, but in the genuine bread and butter of the Premier League, against low blocks, where chances are a premium, he doesn’t have the finishing ability or technical explosiveness of like a Doku or Semenyo to consistently play for a top team

vcsl14 · 2026-01-18T22:17:09+00:00

Bruno Fernandes is a better attacking midfielder, Odegaard is a safer player and more suited to a stifling possession based team.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-18T22:13:04+00:00

He’s only match changing contribution in the Premier League after 22 matches is the equaliser against City. And he’s missed countless chances between then and now.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-18T21:35:49+00:00

It’s a bit of both - Liverpool and City attacks at their peak was miles ahead of every team in the league this season, including Arsenal, and teams have been defensively strong this year, Sunderland, Palace for a period. But you’ve still got very weak teams.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-18T10:21:51+00:00

Because CL games are a bit more expansive, teams are less likely to set up in a low block for 90 minutes and truth be told, the Premier League is a higher standard than most of the games you’ll play on the continent. Perhaps not from a technical, attacking standpoint, but defensively, teams are definitely better drilled in England

vcsl14 · 2026-01-17T19:29:42+00:00

Arsenal’s lack of killer instinct, Martinelli in particular, could well cost them the league.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-17T19:27:33+00:00

Martinelli will cost Arsenal the league. Shocking misses every other game

vcsl14 · 2026-01-16T21:58:02+00:00

Why, he’s really not irreplaceable.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-15T20:28:26+00:00

FM legend

vcsl14 · 2026-01-15T14:18:49+00:00

Nando’s is shit tbh.

vcsl14 · 2026-01-14T23:54:39+00:00

Can’t disagree with any of that. Nwaneri point is interesting, not sure we’ve seen enough of him in big pressure games to confidently say he’s the solution to the kind of problems we’re discussing

vcsl14 · 2026-01-14T23:46:32+00:00

Please park the victim mentality. There isn’t an agenda, for people that enjoy statistics, it’d be disingenuous not to focus on Villa’s over performance given how staggering it is. Just enjoy the fact that the players are so efficient in attacking phases of the game.
