    i got the feeling that if we do get calafiori, either one or all of these things will occur throughout next season:
    1. Arteta will put him at LB instead of Timber, but Timber would move to midfield as a DM. Timber has played there before, he's good at recycling posession and he can transition defense to attack quickly. Rice will continue at No.8.
    2. Calafiori will replace Big Gabi as Saliba's partner in the starting 11. It's gonna be Raya-Ramsdale episode all over again.
    3. We will play a back 5 of White-Saliba-Calafiori-Gabriel-Timber. White & Timber will play the inverted fullback role or make overlaps while Calafiori will push/drive into midfield. This could allow Rice and Odegaard more freedom to impact closer to the box. Eliminates the need of a classic No.6.
    Either way, i am excited by the prospects of any one of the above to happen.

  • @Vainglory14
    @Vainglory14 13 дней назад +5

    I fully get what you're saying about Kiwior - I think Calafiori is the player that Arteta wants Kiwior to be (and to be fair, could still be eventually).
    The mentality side of the job for our defenders is really important because of how exposed Arteta leaves them. The players need to be capable of winning their duels but they also need to be confident enough to throw themselves into those duels despite knowing that they don't have any support. There's been a few times where Kiwior has conservatively committed to a duel because he's on an island (meaning he'll lose the duel but be in an good position to recover), which results in us losing the stranglehold we had on the opposition, where White, Saliba and Gabi in their own way just wouldn't let that happen.

    Agree with your point on Kiwior's shyness translating to his game.
    It's exactly why I backed Martinelli to succeed after his first year at Arsenal - he was a little rusty and clumsy and all that, but you could tell this guy wasn't afraid to keep trying despite little setbacks and mistakes.
    Unfortunately, I haven't really seen any of that in Kiwior...

    walk with me ... 3-4-3 akin to the innovations that the new brighton manager has brought to the prem. back 3 of garbiel-calafiori-saliba with calafiori stepping into the "6" during buildup. wingbacks of white and timber who can give width, cover the back line, and invert at any given time. "double pivot" of odegaard and rice (and of course other combinations of our midfielders that would work as progressors and almost work as false 10s (depending on the personel). and a front 3 of saka kai and martinelli - winders working mostly in the half spaces with less defensive responsibility (which would do wonders for saka and martinelli's fitness) and kai operating as a true cf.

    Zinchenko’s defensive lapses and lack of overlap, plus we need to give Gabriel M. some rest if we are going to compete on multiple fronts. Lastly, Riccardo looks like he can play as a DM alongside another midfielder at some point which is a bonus if Partey gets injured again and Jorginho isn’t quick or strong enough for certain opponents.
    Timber Gabriel Saliba B.W.
    Riccardo Kiwior Tomiyasu
    If Zinchenko leaves we should also get a younger defender to develop. Zinchenko has also been found out and targeted by opposition despite his excellent passing.

  • @abhi4913

    I think with Timber, Tomiyasu, White and Califiori we are close to perfect on the fullback positions. Great Signing! As Mikel doesnt like those overlapping fullbacks i think we got every other profile covered on the left AND on the right. We clearly need to do something in front and in midfield tho. Only Saka, Havertz, Odegaard and Rice are clear starters in our Midfield/in Front IMO

  • @slide4
    @slide4 13 дней назад

    mikel’s usage of timber and tomi on the left comes down to a lack of trust in the current options. we have 4 right sided defenders who we trust 100 percent in white saliba timber and tomi. we don’t really have those numbers on the left so i understand wanting to go and get another left sided defender.
    on top of that i think zini and kiwior could still play important roles this season but in different ways. we relied on them too heavily which was the main issue. zini against a low block is still useful and we’ve yet to see kiwior get any type of consistency at lcb to give gabriel a rest.
    we need to rotate more this season with a huge fixture schedule if we want to be competitive in 4 comps
