Arsenal. Some politics and a bunch of other random interesting stuff. And now I have a substack (and you should read it!)

Lot of people being commenting on Gyokeres who was poor.
But I actually think Hincapie was worse. He is a poor CB in a back 4 IMO. Badly at fault on their equalizer. At fault for Villa's late winner last week. Just a panicky player who is not that good in the air.

that was a truly awful performance. Thank god for the 3 points.
Totally wrong lineup, totally wrong attitude.

Trossard, fuck - he's been so good too recently

it really looks like he deliberately targets his ankle there. NO attempt at the ball.

Like the failure makes subs early just makes the game harder to win. The lineup is not correct. The longer you wait to make changes, the less time we will have to score.

Like its just one of those things that is "not done", but I don't understand the rationale.

I never understand manager's (not just Arteta's) reluctance to make early subs.

It feels like we swing between this conversation every week but it feels like a Trossard and Ødegaard game, where some creativity and technical quality will help unlock this defence.
Martinelli, Eze and Gyokeres feels too blunt, and more ideal for an open game state. Way too stale in possession.

I will also say - Odegaard is criminally underrated by our fan base. Eze is a very good player, but he cannot offer what Odegaard does and we need that in this game.

Gyokeres was a mistake. We never needed to sign "a nine". I think Arsenal bought him because of fan sentiment.

Gyokeres sucks. Sub him at half time.

This injury actually might help us as it will force Arteta to play the defenders in the right places.

That should be a wake up. Arteta should. make subs now imo. Don't wait until halftime.

A prediciton - Gyokeres will come off and we start playing really well and score several goals.
