Do you love Cunha?

billycarpy.bsky.social•46 days ago

Like, not love. I have a slightly different profile in mind for an attacking revamp

irisharsenal.bsky.social•46 days ago

Also, does this season give you more thought on the fatigue = bad finishing hypothesis?

billycarpy.bsky.social•46 days ago

It does!

blairmonson.bsky.social•46 days ago

Would it make strategic sense for our players to start kicking the ball into the goal from 6 yards out rather than into the stands?

setpiecesicko.bsky.social•46 days ago

(Why) Are we insistent on doing short interplays for LHS free-kicks at all ranges? Stuff like Øde in the first half mentally seems to happen a lot and for v little benefit compared to "just getting it in there".

please do my long overdue work for me xox

Long term Arsenal will need to replace Partey and Jorginho obviously. From what you’ve seen do you think MLS has shown enough to be viewed as a backup 6 eventually in our system? Or he’s found a new home at LB

octaviog.bsky.social•46 days ago

Declan and MLS will take over and hopefully they bring in better 8's in the next few windows

defendyourself.bsky.social•46 days ago

I hope so too..though Mikel sees things a different way than most of us. We’ve basically used the left 8 as a pressing forward last couple of seasons

octaviog.bsky.social•46 days ago

MLS is going to be world class and he's going to be to good to be an inverted lb

chiatus.bsky.social•46 days ago

Where is Mikel Merino? Feels like he’s dodging the football. Curious to see where he actually moves on the football pitch when we have the ball that leads to him having about 1 touch every 30 min.

johnnye1207.bsky.social•46 days ago

Would like to hear your thoughts on NNT's ‘Odegaardism’ argument. While I think he’s exaggerating for interactions, there is one aspect that I consider feasible. Ø’s profile allows him to be a phenomenal deep creator but unable to defend in the pivot, forcing the LCM to be an impossible profile,

johnnye1207.bsky.social•46 days ago

Apologies for this being so long but this is genuinely my biggest dilemma with Arteta's system😅

johnnye1207.bsky.social•46 days ago

defending in the pivot but tasked with more half-space and pocket play higher up. Is this problem on Arteta? I know Ø is far from ideal in a double pivot but with Rice and our centre backs providing cover, I feel like we can take that risk and allow our LCM to be more of a Wirtz/Musiala/Eze profile

What phase of the project are we in and how many phases were there supposed to be?

thatboyparker.bsky.social•46 days ago

Seen it referenced elsewhere but having one direct full back be it Tierney or White (or even both!) as opposed to 2 ballers could really help our struggling front line.

And I really like the chaos Sterling's unpredictability brings. Keep him our wide or could he do a job centrally?

eusoubruno.bsky.social•46 days ago

I keep thinking about how best to word this every time you ask but, put simply, it still seems to me that we're just relying too much on YOLO crosses to a crowded box. Is there an avenue of chance creation we should be focusing more on? (you did mention long shots, for example...)

obamasbestie.bsky.social•46 days ago

What position of player do we need more transition threat in ? Winger or striker or both? And if a winger which one would be your pick ?

jakesarmstrong.bsky.social•46 days ago

I think timber is amazing, but is there something he is less good at than white that is hard to see and is stunting our attack?

billycarpy.bsky.social•46 days ago

Wide work + big passes + predictability of movement

generalmausi.bsky.social•46 days ago

How much is the Mikels defensive system hurting the strikers ability to finish properly?
Is it possible that their defensive duties cost them so much energy?

If we compare the defensive workload of our strikers and Isak for example, it's huge.

Why does Arsenal make me so sad

billycarpy.bsky.social•46 days ago

"Expectation is a kind of closure; it limits the world to what we believe it should be. Happiness, in contrast, is open. It arises when we meet the world as it is—free of demand, free of judgement, free of the stories we tell ourselves about what should be."

billycarpy.bsky.social•46 days ago

that and all the missed fucking shots

nebkreb.bsky.social•46 days ago

The story I tell myself is that a professional footballer paid 280K a week can put a ball in the net from five away with minimal defense. This story is incorrect.

billycarpy.bsky.social•46 days ago

Boom, you are Zen.

impactofficer.bsky.social•46 days ago

Why does Arsenal hate me?

mudow.bsky.social•46 days ago

Chance creation from FB is an area where we differ quite a lot from most elite clubs. Can you see a world where we go for a classic fullback profile in the summer?

billycarpy.bsky.social•46 days ago

Thank you for the excuse to talk about what I want to talk about!

mudow.bsky.social•46 days ago

Haha great, just an observation. KT came on yesterday and put in a quality cross. He had one against Palace as well that Sterling almost scored from. When you have quality from those areas, people start to move, start to gamble because they think you have the quality to find them.
