re: Arsenal 2024/2025 Season Thread: It’s time

I'm not liking the talk of a striker and only more IF someone leaves. Na playas, a striker AND another versatile LW/RW please. And if Trossard or Martinelli leave, then we need 3 total.

I know I said it earlier, but Trossard can NEVER be a full time starter for a serious team.
Hes been useful in small spurts, but he is strictly a change of pace guy off the bench and/or starting FA/EFL cup games.

Would you take 30 million from Saudi for him this summer? I think I would even though he is clutch as hell sometimes.
Posted on 5/6/25 at 8:25 am to Bottom9
Absolutely I would. He’s about to be 31 and his athleticism is only going to keep declining.
Can you imagine him playing for any of the 3 other remaining teams in CL or the top PL teams?
He’s our 2nd most minutes played attacker this year (Just behind Martinelli) that can NEVER happen. He's been useful, but he can’t be a main attacking player going forward, he takes entirely too much time to get shots off in a crowded box, and he’s prone to dribbling around and getting himself into shite situations that leads to disastrous results
Going forward is should be: New Winger/Martinelli/Jesus, New CF/Havertz/Jesus/Merino, Saka/Martinelli/New Winger/Ethan/Jesus
With Jesus & Merino getting the least amount of minutes and preferably, these new attackers offer a different and/or better skill set than what we currently have. Got to be able to play in different ways when needed

I may be on devastated watch if Inter makes the Champions League Final and we lose in Paris.
What an opportunity to end our forsaken Champions League record.

Gonna suck either way, just hope the boys are up for it tomorrow.
Timber & Cala both traveled, so probably our most team in a few months
Now we’ve got 4 healthy defenders that can come on

All season we have had dog shite luck. What a sense of humor God has if every lucky break went our way tomorrow and in hopefully a European Final against Inter.
It would be so Arsenal to do the unthinkable.

Tomorrow it’s all down to the players. Can they step up and dominate the game like we’ve seen?
I don’t know. But I hope they bring the winning mentality.

Well, it's all or nothing at this point. They have no choice.
Posted on 5/7/25 at 4:53 am to dgnx6
think they’ll play not to lose the first 80 minutes and then try to turn it on towards the end when they realize time isn’t on their side
they’ll need a miracle or two to pull it off

With Merino up top to start they’ll play like they normally do, the first 20 min were killer last week because we couldn’t boot it long and win 2nd balls, which Rice & Partey excel at.
The big deal early on is can we withstand their early energy and settle into the game. They’ve only been to 1 final also, and have never won, so if we can withstand the early team/stadium energy and put one in the net, the pressure will be on for them as well.
Took us 20 min to switch up the press from Man to man to zonal press, hopefully we’ll start out from there.
If we can get Rice/Partey/MLS carrying it through their man to man press early we can generate some good chances and put pressure.
Not sure how much I’ll get to watch today, as I’ve got meetings all day, that said:
COYG, on the Munich!

We a two+ goal / penalty shootout win and a win away from glory.
Come on Lads!
Need Martinelli big tonight. I need him to play like he's dying tomorrow. Non stop, aggressive, smart. Need him to score tonight.

Timber starts, that’s good news, Merino in at CF.
Assume it’ll be
Raya
Timber
Saliba
Kiwior
MLS
Odegaard
Partey
Rice
Saka
Martinelli
Merino
Jorginho & Cala made the bench
Dembele starting on the bench for PSG

Posted on 5/7/25 at 2:14 pm to dgnx6
We are so much better with Partey and Merino up top.
Posted on 5/7/25 at 2:29 pm to saderade
Knew they would score as soon as Clive Tyldesley brought up our set piece record 
Posted on 5/7/25 at 2:29 pm to saderade
Blew our wad not getting one of those early chances to go in
Shame
