I get what you are saying but there are many times, where last season I thought to myself, why not try and change formation and getting a 4-2-3-1, (yes with Lukaku) up front but Tuchel continuously persisted with back 3 formation and he probably would do same again. But yeah although I get why people think we should have been in for him, I think he was sold by Arteta.
Sterling worked with Arteta too, and yet he came hee not there. We also have Silva, no bigger Brazilian legend left playing the game than him.
Arsenal didn't go for Sterling. It was one or the other. I am not denying he could have come here but Arsenal had a clear plan for him. We on the other hand did not. Jesus did not even score that much goals last season with all the hype he is getting. I know, sometimes he played out wide but pretty sure Havertz outscored him last season.
Yes, because we missed a trick here and its utterly laughable reading some people's arguments suggesting we are apparently too good for him.
I didn't really rate him that highly at City and was praying Pep was using him to replace Aguero (in 2017). I'm not going to suddenly start raving over him just because he's plays for Arsenal.
Tbf both Werner and Jesus are far better than our current dross so there's a good chance.
So its a criticism now that Jesus couldn't get ahead of Sergio Aguero?
He's played more matches at CF than Foden, who both work well there considering they are involved in the build up and move the ball better. Something you are willing to die by the sword on with in your defence of Havertz's pathetic goal tally.
I have been watching the game Sconnie and the way Arsenal are set up and playing is completely different to us. There have been periods in that half, particularly the last 10 minutes, where there have been occasions where they have had just one centre-back and their keeper in their own half. Zinchenko has been their best player and has roamed all across the pitch. Tuchel would never play such a role fluid formation as that.
There is no different in the way Jesus performs than our current attacking set up. It's dynamic. He isn't ever in one place. He either gets involved in the build up or is making runs from either side.
He literally had Chilwell and James basically as number 10s in possesion before their injuries.
Again, disagree with you Argo. When Leicester scored to make it 3-2 there were 15 minutes left. Arteta and Arsenal continued to pour players forwards in numbers and that directly resulted in the fourth goal. TT would never have done that. We would have sat deep, try to keep possession and run the clock down.
He did against the same opponents last season, and against Juve to name two.
You can swing this another way though. When Arsenal went 3-1 up, they could have taken the tempo out of the game and played out a comforable 3-1 win. By continuing to push on like they have, they let Leicester back in. Yes, they got the goal again straight after, but they can't keep doing that all season.
