@Sir_Badmus@gagbashua@ridwanpedro_ ☝️goalkeeper and defender to play make while you hide behind the opponent, a good midfielder would go and get the ball from the leg of his goalkeeper and defender
@boboha3@gagbashua@ridwanpedro_ Truly, Rice has his own shortcomings but it'd be unfair to single him out for the rough patch we're seeing, the coach takes the buck for me
@ridwanpedro_@gagbashua@Sir_Badmus You can't keep blaming the manager who has been who has limited choices, he was playing with Eza since the absence of Odegarg, now Eza was injured in the Carabao Cup final it's now left for the likes of Rice to set up in the midfield and provide that is as good as they say he’s
@boboha3@gagbashua@Sir_Badmus Arteta has to compensate for his absence to make things work.
This is kinda like the same issues against city at the Carabao final.
Honestly I don’t know why Rice is getting praised here and Zubimendi is being criticized here
Cats have forgotten we play in a double pivot, one of Rice or Zubimendi can come into the 6 role for the ball
@Sir_Badmus@ridwanpedro_ please help me tell @gagbashua to show me just a 1-minute video of his best player taking out 1 or 2 opponents with just one touch
@gagbashua you can see what I was telling you that day that you can never see Xhaka behind Zincheko when Arsenal are playing offensively that year,
@ridwanpedro_@Sir_Badmus I wish you guys were there that day
@boboha3@gagbashua@Sir_Badmus Concerning game play actually.
No one brave enough to even demand for the ball.
It's concerning from the gaffer not having made necessary changes in this aspect.
@David_Dein_FC In this situation, you don't blame Zubi, if Rice had dropped to get the ball the player with him would follow him and allow Raya to play the ball to Gabriel, and we start the play, instead of calling someone behind you to come and get the ball
Players like Rodri, Bernardo, Jorginho, Fernandes, Guimaraes or even Alex Scott would drop deep to receive and create passing options.
I’ve never seen a metronome hide from the ball like this or show such poor awareness under pressure. We’ve basically got David Raya doing the playmaking from goal.
@AFC_Fazeel Many Arsenal fans won't accept the truth bcos of the ❤️ they have for Rice, Zubi is new to the league, and it's normal for him to struggle bcos it is his 1st season but their so-called(best player)can't step up and control the game, all he wants to do is carry the ball and run
This team has outgrown Odegaard as a starter.
It's just the sad truth.
Arsenal needs a gritty yet technically gifted player as the playmaker and not a ballerina that looks sexy on the ball yet deliver subpar end results.
