It is 3 points at the end of the day but im kinda annoyed it went from a 4-0 game to 2-1. We need to stop bring complacent like we did at times last ssz and kill these types of teams off coz goal difference could play a massive factor in the title race. Plus we need more clean sheets at home
But small margins count at the end of the season. Newcastle win 5-1. City 3-0. Brighton 4-1. Convincing wins. We just held on in the last 20 minutes. On another day, we drop points. Attitude must change. We need to be ruthless. That's what wins titles
Complacency when ahead by a brace is the Arsenal's achilles heel...We must learn not to drop intensity and stop letting games drift when ahead and kill weaker teams off!
Truly we should be killing games off, but there's one thing Arteta should stop doing, becoming experimental with the games, it's high time Kai to come from the beach, until that time he adopts into Arsenal playing style.
It is a mentality thing. If we are dangerous on counter people will not attack us full force…… we just don’t trouble the CBs enough …. Our wingers do well but it remains on the wings ….. not converted to goals….. sometimes you get goals but we are too much on the wings …… central threat is lacking which is bit more direct…. Trossard is the only direct threat centrally….. Hopefully Havertz starts being more direct sometimes
@@glblock6236 it doesn't matter if it's the first game or 5th game, it's about consistency. With this performance we gonna lose points at some point, so yeah 3:0 is much better score than 2:0, we shouldn't stop if goals coming
no idea why Thomas started as a RB i understand this is the first game but we don't want our players to get confused among themselves and our defence is solid we need one additional forward who can play as RW as well
Stricto my guy ..you know ...keeping it real since when you throwaway your ticket ..much luv brother ...'Sensible Aggression'...he always drop something
Why Can't We Kill Off Games ? because in front was Nketiah if in the front was Benzema, Lewandowski, Haaland .. should be score -+5 Goals No killer instinct in front possession ball doesn't matter 80% or even 99%... if score less than opponents it means lose the game
If we're talking about as at right now in 2023, Saka is only behind Mbappe in my opinion and I don't even think there's really much in it. Salah has had a better career because he's ahead, but he is past his best now, he isn't better than Saka right now and neither is Vinicius Jnr, he's not really as good infront of goal. Arsenal have got the best wide players in Europe right now in my opinion and they are only going to get better.
@@oboteonowareke3293 Not capping at all, it's my honest opinion. If Mbappe is the benchmark, what exactly does he possess that Saka doesn't? They're pretty much the same in stature, if anything, Saka is slightly leaner. They're about the same speed, maybe Mbappe is slightly quicker, but there's not much in it. Their dribbling ability is about the same, I think maybe Saka might be slightly trickier on the ball and more honest, because he doesn't tend to go down just because he can't get past someone, he'll more likely find a way to do it, whereas Mbappe is a bit of primadonna and goes down like a sack of spuds anytime he hits a roadblock. Saka's shooting is getting better and better by the game. Mbappe does fluff like he's still learning, despite everyone saying he's the best in the world right now (I can't see based on what other than his pace). Saka is actually doing what he is doing in the world's hardest league week in week out, as well as internationally and now he's going to be doing it in the Champions League. In my opinion, Saka will be overtaking Mbappe within the next couple of years, clip this. The problem Arsenal will then have, is trying to convince HIM that he can't pick up similar or even more wages than Mbappe.
Personnel……Arteta is going to die on this Kai Havertz cross; he is going to have the fan base despising the guy because he won’t take him off. How do you take of Martinelli when he’s been one of your best and pressing when Kai is trotting?? Timber and Saliba are so solid and calm. But Elanga exposed us on that counter; we need 2 of our fasted back for corners…….diabolical that Saka and Rice didn’t chase him; and Ben White let’s Taiwo sneak ahead of him
I was doing a watch along with AFTV yesterday and at 2-0 someone on set made a comment that "...in wenger days, we would just attack even when leading. Now we know game management'. A few moment later we conceded. This kind of approach cost us the league last season...losing point from winning positions. Is the coach responsible or what?
Arteta disrupts the flow with his subs. The coaches do a great job on the training pitch but arteta wants to have an impact as well so makes wild subs which don’t pay off and let the opponent back in the game.
It's not complacency, it's Arteta. Up 2-Nil at 60 minutes in, Timber injured, and that wasn't enough for him to (1) make substitutions, (2) go to a back four to lock it up, (3) and take Havertz - who was highly ineffective - out of the game. Arteta still goes into games with Plan A and never switches it up to reflect changing circumstances. No Plan B or C.
last season we had this issue. arteta needs to drum it into the players to kill games off. get in that mentality of dominating teams. we easily could of scored 4 today.
Because we have Nketiah and Havertz up top instead of using Trossard. Not even that, we bought a second gk instead of a good striker. Mikel wants to make history again and bottle the league even worse…
Saka did not take the defender on once and beat him. He literally just comes inside too much. Martinelli in the left is running at the right back and taking him out.
Arteta urgently needs to sort out this complacency when a few goals up. Otherwise, we will not win the title & will get eliminated earlier from the CL.
It’s the first game of the season. We played well and took 3 points. Fml stop whinging. I don’t care if we were crap. we won. Points is what matters. Still have zinchenko and Jesus to come back into the side. There’s no need for negatives
My thoughts exactly. Thanks for voicing it out. I bet Arsenal won’t beat Villa at the emirates the way Newcastle dismantled them at their home. This season maybe determined by such slight margins.
@@blackbird9645 Im very chilled.If they noticed ,they should do accordingly. After 2-0 leads, the game is not finished. On a worse day it could have been 2-2 again. Especially at home,play for the crowd. 2 goals were nice though.
The thing is guys don't see the importance of timber. All goals arsenal have conceded both mancity and forest they got them after general timber is taken off. That guy makes everyone on the team soo good.
Every team that won the PL title (except Leicester understandably) in the last decade was ruthless and knew how to kill the game. We seem to be missing that.
That's exactly my view. Robbie is saying it's just the first game. So we are going to accept a win like this? Haven't we passed this stage? In order to win this season we need to finish teams. I am done with all the drama and heart problems from those close games last year. FINISH THEM...that's the level we're at now.
It's wild how most people disrespect Salah, I get that you want to back your team and players but it takes nothing to be honest. Salah has a shout for the rw spot in an all time premier league XI but you have Stricto saying it's not clear cut between Salah and Saka.
We won the game didn't we? Start of last season we would have been ok with top 4 but because we had a good season last year everyone is expecting us to win the league in the first game of the season. One game at a time.
You're right but the performance was concerning. Almost like we have learnt nothing. How can you be that comfortable in the game and it ends up being that on edge in the end. It has happened way too many times
“BRING MARTINELLI ON!??” 🥴 Stricko is drunk! Martinelli was player of the match yesterday. His effort and ball retention was unrivalled by ANYONE on that pitch
Because we don’t have a top number 9 finisher.Halland is not skillful or that creative but his finishing is almost perfect.and that alone win games for Manchester city
Yes we need 2 halves of ruthlessness not 1. They could not touch us in the first half then we get complacent and let them back in to the game. It needs to stop if we want to win trophies.
I honestly think Eddie Howe has done much better job with Newcastle then Arteta did with Arsenal if you compare the amount of money Arteta has spend and the years he has been with Arsenal. Havertz is a flop.
The tactics take too much stamina for players and it is worthless. See how ManCity distribute their player stamina. Nobody could maintain that kind of tactic. So crazy
@@dappadondadda100 No doubt that he know man. But look why Man City can finish only a few touch while we need a 100 pass to complete a finish. Tooo slow and waste our stamina
0 PLs, 0 UCLS, 0 Euros, 0 World cups, 0, top scorer awards, 0 playmaker awards, 0 best player awards but Saka is top 3 wingers in the world. F Outta here.
Do we run our legs off for 70mins pressing them as soon as they have the ball and then have simply run out of steam for the last 20mins? Just as teams typically bring on fresh legs. When we stop pressing games go to pot instantly. Exactly what was wrong with the crucial Man City game at the end of last season. Gave them too much respect and stood off them and got whipped. Mr Arteta fresh legs in every third of the pitch at 70mins regardless of tactics
We can kill of games. Today we couldn't because of Arteta's tactics and Zinny not being in the team. Last season we lost the title because of the defense not the attack. Arteta changing things up to confuse the opponent is a good thing but not to much.
The reason we don't kill off games is caus we don't have a quality striker, the same reason we didn't win the league last season. The signings of Rice and Timber are great but we ain't gunna oust City from top spot.........put it this way whoever finishes above City will be Champions
This is the prem , we ain’t gonna win every game 3nil or 4nil . 3 new signings starting and a new system with a fluid back 3. We looked amazing. Only us and city can play the fluid back 3 system. Lol it’s pinnacle pep and arteta
this is the problem with arsenal fans they get excited and start comparing their players to great players who have won many trophies they cant have their foot on the ground
The game started well and we scored until timber was injured. The changes arteta made was very naive until we scored and he brought in gabriel which he should have done immediately timber went out. I can't lie this manager can't win us big trophies because of his sluggish decision making. Am saying this now and I hope am proven wrong.
No more excuses for arteta this team has his enough good players at any one time even with injuries saka martinelli odgard trossard just look at Newcastle and eddi how how he is doing bits with that team arteta could have used that haverts money on a isak even that Chelsea striker Jackson seems more lively than nketia so arsenal scouting team need to step up
Thought Martinelli was unbelievable today. It’s 3 points but he’s right we need to kill games off when we’re on top
I agree with Stricto. We need to dominate and kill games off
Stricto one of the only people who is not living in cloud cuckoo land. We cannot kill games still. This is why we need a striker.
Stricto needs more of a regular spot on AFTV. Not just outside the ground
It is 3 points at the end of the day but im kinda annoyed it went from a 4-0 game to 2-1. We need to stop bring complacent like we did at times last ssz and kill these types of teams off coz goal difference could play a massive factor in the title race. Plus we need more clean sheets at home

Complacency when ahead by a brace is the Arsenal's achilles heel...We must learn not to drop intensity and stop letting games drift when ahead and kill weaker teams off!
intensity can’t be maintained for 90 minutes but lapses of judgment do happen to the team often tho
Totally agree- or we’ll win nothing.
True.. I just hope this is the last game where we get comfortable. It's just the first game out of 38 so we should learn from this
Maybe this time its the reverse we start poor and end the season on a high
@@chrisking8579 wasn’t poor at all! Overused and disrespectful to the team
Truly we should be killing games off, but there's one thing Arteta should stop doing, becoming experimental with the games, it's high time Kai to come from the beach, until that time he adopts into Arsenal playing style.
Stricto is a hundred percent right bruv we need to kill off games so there can be no room for doubt
