@nonewthing Did haaland win many balls today?

When you are playing a good team, your striker is meant to win balls that brings the rest of your team up the pitch. Fouls, headers, duels, outright ball control—anything that releases pressure and allows the team to play. When you have a Gyokeres against a Liverpool or City like Arsenal have done this season, you don't get anything. He can't beat any one of their defenders for anything. Therefore, they are free to sustain pressure and control possession. Unfortunately, fans think this is mega brain stuff and it is down to tactics.

@SHIKOLITIMOTHY @EBL2017 He's the only cf the team has signed lol

@nextCycle @EBL2017 I disagree with you, may you don't how Arsenal play..he is the best CF the team has signed.

The longer you keep Gyökeres on for, the bigger a goal threat he becomes. He is a stoic guy, but you could see how frustrated he was when Mikel took him off in the 89th minute. My man is obsessed with scoring goals. Combine that with his physical and technical traits… Top 💯

@muyithegreat001 @EBL2017 Exactly, havertz as well if he can get back physically

@nextCycle @EBL2017 What are Arsenal standard of Cf?😂 Ekitike? Sesko? Isak. ?

@nonewthing So he's finished? At 25?

Saka broke himself as a player to win Arsenal our first title in 22 years. Pass it on. Pass him on. Let his legend never die.

@nonewthing Damn almost thought we're out of excuses

In terms of scoring, we have been close a couple of times. You must remember that we are in between a CL tie and the players might be conserving legs for that. Some of these are also not at optimal fitness like Kai and Calafiori. That’s why we aren’t as sharp around the goal.

@nonewthing @sambrazy to be an all timer though, need to perform for a bit longer. Recent performances make me wonder if he has a future on the wing still

@sambrazy What about those against Bayern, PSG, and Real Madrid?

They were telling me Saka was a CL all timer because of group stage npG/A against Slavia Prague

@LKCOYB Ironically you wouldn't compare it to Palmer, wouldn't you lol. Engagement farming it is, trying to force reaction

@pedroelchileno Story of the 2nd half of the season, right?

1. Win ✅ 2. Energy levels used ✅ 3. Injuries ❌ 4. Youngster usage ✅ 5. Display level ❌ 6. New dynamics work ❌ 7. Form improvement from bench players ❌

@EBL2017 Hey what about gyokeres?

The worst thing Arteta and his staff could do is bemoan missed chances and bad decision making in the final 3rd along with losing duels and making individual errors to concede goals. Factors? Sure. But largely irrelevant. Big picture? The entire game. Margins could be wider.

@nonewthing Just forced to play without runners around him for the last 2

Saka is the smartest player in the Premier League.

@EBL2017 Also something about playing Wigan

Arsenal look better with a stable presence in the #6.

@EBL2017 Bro it's Wigan. + he lost posession 2 times which could lead to some xg if Arsenal wasn't playing a side 2 from the league one

Eze. On the ball. Creative monster. Just because he can crash the box doesn’t mean that’s what he should be reduced to. Get him as many touches as Saka and Arsenal’s open-play creativity issues vanish. The left. Eze on the left. It’s the solution. So clear.

It's not only about Eze. The whole team plays with a handbrake on. 0 risk, very rarely even atempt passes between the lines and instead play the safest option most of the time. On top of it they have a CF who can't bully defenders nor create for himself. Not a wonder they don't create shit from open play the whole season

Nah. It's a bit of both. Sure, Arteta needs to profile Eze better and let him dictate creatively from the left. Pausa, gravity, 1v1 qualities, carrying, special shooter who gets shots off, & most importantly offers unstoppable passing. But 11 passes against Brentford? Do more!

@FootballEra_ Bro what are you smoking, i want that too. Gyokeres lost 90% of duels yesterday lol, can't run attack through im. Liability when playing against a good press from a physical team

Just look at Gyokeres’ outlet play to set up a goal here in the 95th minutes, one of Arsenal’s better attackers out there last night. Held up his markers perfectly and slot it through into space for Timber who looked gassed. x.com/seanmedia_777/…

@ThankgodUmar @nonewthing 1. Semenyo has more goals then Gyokeres lol 2. Can play mutlitple positions upfront 3. If Arsenal signed him, City wouldn't 4. Also Trossard is 32 next year

@nonewthing Yeah and then he turned out to be our highest goal scorer. Too bad.

Arsenal had two windows of opportunity to get Semenyo and prevent their title rivals from signing a player that seriously improves them. They chose to sign Gyokeres instead.

@LKCOYB Highest IQ midfield and you post a picture of these 3? Chelsea midfield is IQ/tech wise behind city, liverpool and arsenal by a mile and maybe about United we can discuss

Why have I obsessed over the idea of reduced distances in midfield & close combinations etc? Because I think we probably have the highest IQ midfield in the league? Might not be the quickest/strongest but their brains are the fastest. Why would I not want that on display?

@PremLeaguePanel Is there a game state where Gyokeres provides anything that Havertz can't? Arsenal games are rarely transitional, and even then... JP however can do it in any game state, especially useful having runners in Martinelli and Madueke now

@nextCycle Not really too similar a profile to havertz

So what does exactly $grass token price has to do with company doing good revenue numbers since there is no mechanism to bring that value to the token
