  1. Arteta finally surrendered to this malicious media that never accepted the phenomenon of the Arsenal uprising that began last season and was about to reach its goal this season! He ruined the team by adopting stupid new attacking strategies, as well as putting a lot of pressure on all the players to score! Each one is desperately trying to prove that he’s enough to do the job!

  2. Kai Havertz didn’t look bad as a CF yesterday but he lacked the ruthlessness in front of goal and Gabriel Jesus was out of the squad and your only other recognized striker on the bench was Eddie Nketiah and that tells you what Mikel Arteta sees in him. On a club of Arsenal’s caliber it’s just not good enough in a game of that magnitude against Liverpool to have Havertz as your striker and the only other option off the bench is Eddie Nketiah and this is enough proof that before the transfer window closes they have to sign a number 9 everyone has been saying that for months. For weeks I’ve said that I’m not convinced that they have enough firepower on offense to win the title and we knew this about Arsenal before their slump and in the Liverpool game yesterday they could’ve been on the pitch for 24 hours and still wouldn’t score. He needs to get his guys scoring, because there are games where not having that finisher the key ingredient in the team has costed them points and every top team right now is desperate for a striker because your number 9 isn’t a goalscorer and you don’t have enough goals from your wingers or midfielders, I don’t see how your team can win the big trophies in a season. It’s unlikely that they’ll sign Ivan Toney this January for over 100 million, watch them try to get him if not who should they sign because if they fail to sign a striker and the attackers don’t start scoring, then they won’t win the league with this attack.

  3. Arteta took waaaay to long to try Havertz at CF. Now that we are under pressure to get a result he finally does it against Liverpool even he had ample amount of opportunities to try it before. Kai was already under pressure as he has not performed well in the no. 8 role and now he has to perform well to save Teta from embarrassment. Honestly I have to put all blame on Teta.

  4. Arsenal to sign Albert Steptoe, you heard it here first, Arsenal have the stables , they just need more old Nags up front, Havertz, is without doubt the worst forward in Premier league history

  5. Havertz is living off of a couple of important goals two years ago. He's never been dependable as a striker. He's not physical, he doesn't react quickly, and in the box he's passive.

  6. Gab that is the mediocrity affecting Arsenal , thinking Khai is good enough because he is "Okay" … Okay wins nothing , the work of a number 9 is to score , a number 9 who is not inside or around the box during build up affects the team
