Arsenal Transfer Banter

25 Jan 2026 18:31:22
Not only we have thrown away our advantage, the way we get our goals isn’t filling in confidence for the run in. We are showing the pressure again and again not showing any urgency, passing sideways and back even in 88th minute when we need to score a goal. Well….!

25 Jan 2026 18:47:16
Not sure why Martinelli didn't start, get them on the back foot from the off.

25 Jan 2026 18:47:40
BOTTLE mate - we play with a fear of losing rather than a desire to win. Our striker signings don’t scream “we want to score” yet our defensive signings scream “ it will be difficult to get past us”

Look how boring Eze now looks under Arteta

Bottle - same issue for last 4 or whatever seasons.

I couldn't agree with you more Highbury.
It seems to me we play with the brakes on all the time, slow build up which is suited for CL. Even when we were behind there wasn't no one to take the opposition on and create something. Some people won't like this but apart from the Spurs/Villa home games we have not played well in the Prem. We have assembled a great squad but but it seems hamstrung by tactics.

I would like to try 442 to see if that suits the squad better. Pressure is getting to us. I know teams are hard to break down but we got a lucky goal then sat back. We looked very fragile tactically and mentally. Once again like after Liverpool and Forest games I am really pissed off with a performance which doesn't reflect the quality we have in the squad.

Evening Highbury hope alls well. I wish we would take shots from edge of opposition penalty area. there’s been countless opportunities for us to do so throughout this season, we just seem to always look for an extra pass. other teams do it and profit from it. We just don’t seem to do it as much as other teams. it’s a little frustrating to be honest.

25 Jan 2026 19:25:16
All well mate, a little disappointed with the result today.
Yes, we need to show aggression, pin the opposition back and score goals. Today, Dorgu and Cunha took a chance and it paid off with spectacular goals.

At least when we need a goal we must move the ball quicker and have shots on target. We didn’t have any in the second half except for Merino’s lucky goal.

25 Jan 2026 17:11:24
Why on earth you play a pass back when Timber is open in front of you to pass to!

25 Jan 2026 17:23:33
We faff about far too much, we need to have so many touches and over complicate things.

25 Jan 2026 12:08:28
Big game today. Let’s go all out 3 points a must but United and carrick to bed.

25 Jan 2026 18:55:55
Lol ? aged well. Out thought and out played to my surprise. Maybe Arsenal didn't have enough corners?

What an absolute peach Nwanieri just scored on debut for Marseille. fantastic ??.

24 Jan 2026 20:51:49
Great goal.
Controversial question- has the Eze signing blocked his route into our 1st team? I’ve heard Chelsea are sniffing around signing him.

25 Jan 2026 14:56:40
It's a dilemma Glenn. I reckon the loan is the best for everyone. We know how good Nwanieri is, and the rest of the season will show if Eze can settle with us.

23 Jan 2026 06:10:28

{Ed025's Note - 2-2 for me Dublin, United are on a high and you had a big game midweek..

23 Jan 2026 08:00:36
Think it might be a hard slog so i'm going 1-1 Dublin.

23 Jan 2026 19:02:55
Changed my mind Dublin, 2 - 1 to the Arsenal ? ?.

24 Jan 2026 00:35:21
3-1 to us it's going to be tough but we will comprehensively beat them. They will come out to attack we should weather the storm and take the game to them. We have to get 3 points.
