Pre-Season 23/24

trossard played false 9 at a high enough level for us last season. there was no dropoff between him and jesus (before injury).

Ricky1985 I think he can go wide left too. Tross can play up front. Lots of versatility

lorddulaarsenal

Hopefully Jesus gets his fitness and sharpness back. I’d like to see him play the box is lava less too

JazzG

Barca game should be interesting, lets hope Arteta uses that game to tap up Frenkie De Jong.....

JazzG big cuddle with Frenkie at the full time whistle incoming

I think Trossard would be our best LCM and would secure the position, if given the chance to do so.

It's annoying Nketiah hasn't generated any interest from other clubs as he's come good for us two seasons in a row, despite having clear limitations in his game. Would like a bid for him to entice the club to sell, so we can buy and try someone else.

Ricky1985

I know photos can be deceiving, but he's clearly developed a ton over the past couple of years, and seems to now be reaching elite levels of conditioning. It's a big part of why he is so good - an absolutely elite footballer needs absolutely elite conditoning. It's a non-negotiable. There are very few lazy ones left at Arsenal thanks to Arteta, but some of the other players should watch and learn - and try to do their best Saka impression.

Not to play down the monumental level of dedication required to be in the 0.1% amongst other highly motivated and highly paid footballers. Saka's a very special kid.

Take out error prone Aaron and that’s a good team

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Like it.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 You have gone from one of his bigger fans to underrating him now

Sicario2 - Tier 1

I can’t forgive him for Southampton error, sorry.

Then when I think about it more, I realise he’s made a few errors. For example, the first goal away City last season should have been a standard save.

Also, he is trash in saving penalties and generally been very poor for us in Europe (that lobbed Sporting goal was a joke man).

I think he’s become complacent as essentially he doesn’t have any competition for his jersey.

GK and ST positions could be big talking points in summer of 2004 esp the former if AR doesn’t raIse his game - we are playing CL soon - needs to step up.

Aaron's good qualities far outweigh his occasional errors.

I'd also add that the demands of modern-day goalkeeping are so high versus 10-20 years ago, that it's near impossible to find someone who's 'flawless'.

Courtouis is the benchmark imo.

I do have some concerns on Ramsdale, I thought there were a few too many poor moments last season where he let in things that he should have done better on. This season we can see if he's able to address that aspect and pull up those inconsistencies otherwise I think there is a decision about that position for the future.

It's funny to me that you look at that team and think Ramsdale is the weak link but think Havertz up front is fine.

Bryant

I'll be there at the game today! 🙂 excited to see them play live.

Don Pacifico

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Courtois still makes errors.

Sharing the below for funz:

JazzG

First 6 months after he joined I thought we had signed one of the top keepers in the world, looked an absolute top drawer keeper. Since then he has been very average, the odd great game here or there but way too many mistakes in his game. Guy talks a good game but doesn't seem to back it up.

He also seems a lot better in away games than home, makes you think if it is something mental.

Sofi stadium looks absolutely insane

it better look insane, it cost like $6 billion.
