  1. Arteta found the best position for Smith-Rowe's skillset and trained him to be highly effective there. When many fans asked for Smith-Rowe to be played in the CAM position, Arteta had a different plan and assign him to the left wing
    485
  2. Yes, because he is a world-class goal-scorer and the younger CFs could learn a lot from him
    316
  3. He'd likely want an eight-year contract and London lifestyle
    206
  4. It was too harsh for those types of challenges. The referees didn't send Sadio Mane and Ben Godfrey off for elbowing and kicking Tomiyasu's face
    183
  5. He's lost the dressing room, so he got sacked. I don't think the same players can believe in his old tactics again
    162
  6. A left-footed AM like Odegaard will make Arsenal able to play with many formations, since he will complement their right-footed AMs. He can also be their third-choice RW, if required
    151
  7. I don't think he's lost the dressing room, since he's been collecting his compatriots. My guess is he's got a more lucrative offer elsewhere or going back to be closer to his family
    135
  8. If Arsenal really want a player, they usually sign him quickly
    126
  9. Footballers' price tag rise was propelled by Neymar Jr's crazy transfer to PSG. The pandemic has forced everybody to see things more clearly and be more prudent with the spendings, so hopefully it would also normalize the prices and the inflations
    125
  10. If it's the same problematic knee again, Arsenal had better look for a new CF, unless they want to extend Balogun's contract
    88
  11. Arsenal signed highly technical diminutive players to play with their high ball-possession and positional play tactics, whereas Tottenham signed more athletic and taller players to play with their counter-attacking tactics. The World Cup is creeping out, so the brutes might not want to be too aggressive in challenges/ duels and the highly skilled diminutive players could take advantage of this situation
    84
  12. Hopefully it will burst the player price tag bubble, which was caused by Neymar's transfer to PSG. £51.1m is a bargain price for a great young CF like Haaland
    79
  13. Zinchenko has played well in CM and LB positions, so his timing, decision making, tactical understanding and dribbling skills must be good
    78
  14. Michael Oliver should never officiate any EPL match again
    75
  15. If Levy rejects that offer, he must be crazy or have a better offer that no journalist knows
    75
  16. If he moves, it'll be a win-win situation for all parties
    64
  17. It's gonna be FIFA's version of Super League, encouraged by Wenger
    57
  18. They need to sell their fringe players first. But many clubs are waiting for the last days of the transfer window, to get bargain prices
    57
  19. No future for a 32 years old attacker with 300+ K weekly salary. Besides, Arteta's system obviously needs a stronger CF with excellent hold-up play or a tireless high presser
    56
  20. World Cup wouldn't be worth to wait if it happens too often
    55
  21. Maybe Merino will play the tall false-nine role, since Trossard and Nwaneri are too short to receive long ball from Raya
    51
  22. Two tall players to strengthen Arsenal in set-pieces. I expect more goals from corners and free-kicks
    50
  23. Willian Jose was the one who touched David Luiz, not the other way around. The FA is highly incompetent
    46
  24. He could still play with Zinchenko in the future. Arsenal signed many Chelsea players, namely Gallas, Cech, Luiz, Willian and Jorginho
    45
  25. Wenger's predictions and insights are generally spot-on. The EPL foreign ownerships have become too powerful. Once most European clubs agree to make a Super League and force EPL out to a football Brexit, the big EPL club owners will be forced to join them
    41
  26. Lacazette, Odegaard, Saka and Pepe have to start, otherwise Arteta's left overload tactic would likely not work again
    40
  27. Lacazette and Aubameyang don't work well together. So just start Lacazette, because he's in-form and seems to be playing for a new contract
    39
  28. This summer is Kane's last chance to move, because his performance and value would likely drop soon. So his agent must try harder to find a suitor
    38
  29. Arteta should've learned from the games against Sporting CP, Spurs, Lens and Chelsea. The oppositions simply use four players to man-mark Arsenal's four midfielders
    33
  30. The players will try to impress their new manager at the beginning, but it'd likely turn sour after next season
    32
  31. Felix would likely become Chelsea's main CF
    30
  32. Makes sense, because Potter used to work with Caicedo. Chelsea should've signed him first after Potter came
    29
  33. Kane doesn't have the stamina to press high up the pitch frequently, so Bayern Munich's high-press won't be optimal. On the other hand, Arsenal have high-pressing machine in Odegaard, Havertz and Jesus
    28
  34. He must be worth more than £100m now, after watching the English fridge's and the Argentinian garden gnome of Amsterdam's performances
    28
  35. Tuchel shouldn't have used Lukaku as a high presser, because Lukaku doesn't have the stamina for it. Inzaghi had better utilize Lukaku's hold-up play and aerial ability
    27
  36. I heard it's £21m + add-ons. I bet Arsenal had been tapping into him several months ago, hence his reported attitude problem in training sessions
    26
  37. He's a left-footed CAM, so Arteta would likely have to change his overloading focus to the right flank. Unless he'd play as RW, but I prefer Arsenal keep Smith-Rowe and Saka as starters due to their chemistry
    26
  38. I think James' dribbling skills are more essential to the wingback formation, as compared to Alexander-Arnold's playmaking and crossing skills. Toney would likely work very hard in his debut, so it makes sense to start him ahead of other CFs
    26
  39. Strength and pace on the right wing as Bukayo Saka possesses. We'll see whether his decision making and passing abilities are as good as Saka's or not
    25
  40. Maybe PSG think they can threaten Mbappe to extend his contract? LOL
    24
  41. He's one of the best CFs in world today, but 160 M is too much for a 28 years old striker with an unimpressive injury record. If I were Man City's owner, I'd invest in a younger CF
    24
  42. I believe Tuchel is hired to bring the best out of Werner and Havertz
    24
  43. Mikel Merino would likely become Arsenal's next target
    24
  44. Injury or an interview at Scotland Yard?
    23
  45. Good choice for Wolves' Portuguese army
    23
  46. Sounds professional, but I believe he'll manage Liverpool next season
    22
  47. Bayern Muenchen and Man City would likely proceed to the next phase due to their home advantage in the second leg
    22
  48. The here we go guy said he's going to Madrid
    22
  49. Most legends really care about their clubs and supporters. I'm sure he'll put in extra effort to improve West Ham, especially since the club is now owned by a billionaire
    21
  50. There were no Guardiola and his oil club in the Invincibles era. Arsenal would've won EPL last season if Guardiola didn't manage Man City, who've been dominating EPL in the last seven years
