With back 4 turning back 3 with either fullback inverting (Zinchenko and now Partey) while Kiwior can play all 3 CB variations. We need total control and dominance to suffocate the opponents. It’s like you never studied Arteta’s tactic at all. Kiwior is not to replace Gabriel and Zinchenko is not meant to replace Xhaka in midfield either. I *do* think (but don’t know) that Vlahovic is the right kind of cf for us, but this is still an important distinction because we could well end up signing someone else who is better at holding the ball, but is weaker in front of goal, and they might still be a great signing. This is why utd re-signing the ageing Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t work, for example. We could theoretically sign the greatest goalscorer in the world, but if they aren’t well rounded in their general play or don’t fit well into the team, we would end up scoring less, conceding more and winning less overall. It’s not about the goals the CF scores, we have enough in the side already, it’s about team cohesion and bossing opponents. I don’t think think this is the argument for getting a cf like Vlahovic – it’s his ability to hold up and use the ball intelligently, to make sure our attacks are not ended too quickly when the pass goes into the striker, as can happen when the CF is too easily bullied. Someone who can get 20-30 goals every year” Now the season is over, it’s time for the summer Arsenal quiz from our friends at Dublin Arsenal – It’s always a laugh and helps while away the time while we wait for Arsenal’s first signings to come in!ĬALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link… In short then, I think City should be docked points for winning too often, Liverpool should be fined for continuously claiming van Dijk to be the best CB in the world when he isn’t even the best CB at Liverpool, and Chelsea should be thrown out of the league for being deplorable scum lords who ruin football, managers, young players, have no soul and somehow ended up with a worse owner than Ambramovich.Īlso, we should buy Dusan Vlahovic, Denzel Dumfries and Sergij Milinkovic-Savic.
Vlahovic could be the catalyst for something very exciting. Would we not want prime a Van Persie if we had the choice? Of course we would. I think the goal spread across our team is fantastic, but imagine Odegaard or Saka or Martinelli getting injured or losing form… I think a club having someone like Haaland or Harry Kane is amazing for the team. Someone who can get 20-30 goals every year. So providing we keep KT and Saliba, and bring in one other we are good at the back.Īnd we need a striker.
Zinchenko can take Xhaka’s role in midfield and can fill in for KT when he inevitably gets injured. I see retaining his services as critical for next season, and I think he needs to play. In any case we need another CB or we need a RB so Ben White can alternate between the 2 positions as cover.īut I do think we only need 1 defender providing we keep Kieran Tierney. Kiwior showed enough in those final weeks to make me think he is the real deal and could actually replace Gabriel. A fine character, a decent player, a great squad man, but just not good enough. Personally, I would prefer we keep him and recruit more sensibly than paying over the odds for Rice. If Declan Rice comes in he needs to replace Partey in my opinion. He is a magnificent distributor of the ball and can look imperious on occasions, but can also look all at sea. It’s not as bad as Liverpool’s, but even Southampton’s midfield is/was better than Liverpool’s! Partey needs help or replacing. Unfortunately for us, I expect Chelsea to get it right under Pochettino, Liverpool to recruit where they need to, and for Man Utd to get even better next season. We also have some good players, some ok players, some players who might be good one day, and some dross. Perhaps unrealistically so.Īrsenal have some outstanding players.
It puts pressure on the club to get the incoming transfers right, because having spent so much time leading the league expectations are now high. Far better to be gallantly plugging away all season just to be pipped at the end than to see a title challenge collapse like a flan in a cupboard. And coming 2nd in the manner we did was the worst possible scenario. Coming 2nd has done MA no favours at all. After the lacklustre end to the season, Arteta and Edu are probably going to spend all summer sweating because they have to get this summer right.
