As an Arsenal fan, Arteta brought me back to watching the games. I had become so disheartened by Arsenal's performances and failures, I started watching fewer and fewer Arsenal matches during Wenger's final year. I would just check the scores. I watched maybe 2-3 during Unai Emery and eventually stopped checking the scores as well because there was no point. I knew Arsenal would end up disappointing me. But the latter part of last season brought me back and even though we bottled top 4, I could feel that things were different and Arsenal were a better team than I remembered them. Thank you so much Mikel!
Arsenal today is a real showing of how important it is to get toxic or lazy players out of your club and bring in those who are hungry for the game. Yes their team is young but those boys are running and chasing the game all if the time.
This will end up making the players muscle tired they will have to heavily rotate their squad including the keeper defenders wingbacks dmf amf wings and strikers they will generally need to have 2 players for each place and every game team needs to be changed this process of playing(known as genepressing) tired down players i myself former player and assistant coach at 32 know how hard it is to play a genepressing style. Some super sub and nearly all players replenish need to be there in the club and for that money is needed and arsenal are not the one to spend all that

This is the best Arsenal side we've seen in years and Xhaka has been great in particular which is why I made a video about his childhood to his ups and downs🔴🔴 Great video like usual Tinashe!
In years? In decades. Pound for pound maybe not. But the players along with the tactics, easily the best in decades, likely better than the invincibles too

From disregarding Arsenal matches, to explicitly watching them, this man has definitely realized what Arsen Wenger had dreamed of. To me, he is nothing short of the CR7 of managers - a man of sheer will!
Arteta is a man of the highest dignity and professionalism. Yes. Ronaldo - will to win: Yes. But Ronaldo is not a team player. Arteta will put the club above above any one person. You can’t say that about Ronaldo, who wants to win for himself. There was a good point to be made there - I would just leave Ronaldo out of it as being a favourable comparison. Ronaldo will make a terrible manager - he is way too selfish.
Arsenal's success this year is a testament to Arteta's coaching ability. The team has great cohesion. The team plays greater than the sum of their parts. After each goal they always huddle up and organize themselves.
Tierney has played a bit more because of injury, but Arteta has made it clear with his starting choices that Zinchenko is the starter when healthy. His role inverting into the left side of central midfield (where Zhaka begins, but he has been blasting forward) has been a total game changer. Did you see the way they passed through Chelsea into the final third _at will_
@SHAHZEB MIR yeah different player profiles is what will help us deal with any problems the opposition put on us. That’s why we need an Ivan Toney - a target man who can link up play. He’ll be gutted for not making the World Cup, he should be convinced to join a team for a title charge!
Shout out to Arsenal owner/hierarchy. To support the manager in terminate the contract of big name players takes guts. They ignore the critics and willing to take money lost in millions because it outweight the negativity those player have in the club. No other big club got the courage to support such PR nightmare decision.

Ohhhhhh buddy, have I been waiting for this! Not just the video, of course, but Arsenal turning a very long and very difficult corner. I think Mikel Arteta has the goods to take this squad anywhere he wants to go. Pep's positional football + Michels' and Cruyff's Total Voetball in terms of formation and player interchange + Wenger's pursuit of the sublime and beautiful. He's got a squad full of youngsters *because* he wants his players malleable in terms of habits and outlook, and he's shaping them artfully. When was the last time Arsenal played with STEEL and CONTROL instead of rashness and fragility? Credit to the board, they've been willing to invest lately, and I think the crucial moment for the project was after the FA Cup victory; they appointed Arteta manager in addition to first-team coach. Emery only held the latter title, and has aired his grievances in the press about not getting the players he wanted. But talent ID has been exceptionally good under Arteta and Edu, and has fast-tracked the rebirth of Arsenal Football Club as a challenger for top hardware. Pundits and fans scoffed at £50m for Benjamin White in 2021! Twice-relegated Aaron Ramsdale was received with heavy scepticism! Folks thought Real Madrid washout Ødegaard was a bargain pick when James Maddison got slapped with a hefty price tag by Leicester, and all he did was come second to KDB in chances created in the second half of last season. And now he's the captain! Arteta is a tough boss, but apparently a charismatic one: he has these lads playing with belief. Belief in themselves, in the system, in the badge, and in - you said it - the process of becoming great. I could weep. They embody so many values I admire. Thanks for the breakdown, T!
The best thing arteta done at arsenal is changing the mentality and culture of the squad. We used to feel inferior towards other teams but now we go with the belief that we win every game. Unai once said that there is no way we can win against liverpool, what kind of Arsenal manager said things like that?
Arsenal fan since 2005. I thought the process was going nowhere, until I watched the desire of the team when they lost on New Year to Man City. From there I had faith in the team which was strengthen after watching All or Nothing.
Bro cant explain the feeling rn, not getting carried away tho, i was too young during invincible season and i havent seen us do this well in my life time
Arsenal was soo good and was great, been watching since 1997 ....I stopped watching Arsenal games for some years due t0 disappointment but now we are back
Thanks for a well-written and entertaining video, man. Having been an Arsenal supporter and keen footballer since the 70s, I could see very early on what Arteta was doing: he was instilling a belief, a trust, a camaraderie and an unprecedented level of willingness and motivation in the team he was building. I was sure it would just be a matter of time before it all came to fruition. I'm not getting carried away just yet, though, because football and fate are fickle mistresses; a couple of key injuries or unexpected defeats could still knock this team off its course for a little while. I see the requisite confidence and resilience developing over the next couple of years. Fingers crossed. 🔴⚪
You have quickly become one of my favourite channels on here. Aside from the soothing voice cause my dude I swear you could make a fortune by reading audio books or doing some va work, as a relatively new football fan(started watching in 2020, mainly the PL, laliga and Bundesliga) it's really interesting to learn about the history of it all in an entertaining way.
At this point I am glad they trusted the process more than I did, because for a while it looked like it just wouldn't be happening. But it took some time to build the team he imagined and to play how he wantes to. I hope they can keep it going.
Professionalism is the biggest difference between good and great teams. Arsenal has a manager who holds a standard and makes hard choices. It usually pays off if the board sticks with that manager for a few years
This process was a pretty typical rebuild in terms of the step by step approach. You blow up an older and insufficient team, favoring to recruit younger (unproven in some cases) talent that you hope have more potential upside in the long term. Then you supplement that with whatever the squad still needs. Arsenal have followed a pretty typical process but they’ve executed on it very well!
i think the most remarkable part of the process is Arteta being given the time. Managers get sacked every two seconds these days and it means nobody can have the time to build anything. If you look at Tuchel with Chelsea I believe they REALLY should have kept him. Now if they get rid of Potter I will just laugh because there is someone who REALLY needs the time and he WILL build a good team like he did with Brighton. If more teams gave their managers more time you'd have replicas of Arsenal's recent success everywhere
‘If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same: if you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run, then yours is the earth, and everything that’s in it. And which is more - you’ll be a man, my son’.
Make a similar story on Eddie Howe and Newcastle United. Will to too early I guess, but seriously looking forward to something like that!! From a Die-Hard Man Utd Fan❤️
"if you want loyalty, you should date an Arsenal fan" Couldn't have summarized that in a better way, after all these years defending my team even when we were 8th as i always believed in Arteta. It gives me great joy, especially games like Liverpool, Spurs, Leeds, Fulham it has been a joy ride. Last season, we started turning around. Fans were back and now it's going to go great in future. I am sure of that, regardless of us winning the premier league or not. The way they are playing, they have helped my mental health. Yes we still need play at Anfield, Etihad, City at home and St james Park. These 5-6 games are still there to define us. But onwards and upwards for us. Because ESR is coming back and he's going to be a legend in our club.
I feel so smug for trusting the process I told my boys at the start every arteta season we will get back to cl football with him at the helm and now we are well on the way to cl 2023-24
As great as this video is, not to mention the impact Edu has had alongside Arteta is criminal. Edu has done the due diligence on every player that’s come into the club, and other than Willian (which seemed like a certainty at the time) it has been his hard work that’s changed the clubs future ❤ COYG!!
Great video and as an arsenal fan I sure hope this will be the begging of many more great things. There will be bumps on the way but I believe in this team
I have been supporter of Arsenal since 2017. I literally don't know how this affection started. For me, it was like LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.. It was the time when Arsenal was not doing good, Team was also ageing, OZIL was there, LACAZATTE used to be our key striker .Then we brought Aubemeyang in our team in hope that.. time will change.. but sadly it did not happened. Season after season, the performance of the team was going down. From 2nd spot in 2016 to 8th spot in 2019🥺 It was so painful to see my team struggling against 3rd class clubs in Premier League... But there was always some kind of positive vibes in my heart. I always knew it will only take one good season to convert all those suffering into a dream PL run. Then begins 2022 season. Like other season every PL fans thought Arsenal will suffer again bcoz there were no established players this time. Youngest team till now, then wonder happens, we won 5 games in a row at the start of the season in August 2022... This young team gave us hope.. And now this team is giving us (Arsenal fans) the happiness and sense of satisfaction, we were seeking since many years. Without a doubt this year (2022) is the best year of my life......Thank you Gunners for making 2022 much more beautiful ❤️ ❤️❤️Ending 2022 at top of the table❤️❤️ Trophy 🏆 is not too far...
Tinashe, this is pretty well made video about this clubs return to contention. I've seen it thrice. Great editing skills. More grease to your elbows. Keep them coming.
I'm speechless I'm in deep shock how Arteta transform Our club !!! I love this guy but all I expected was just built strong , competitive team.Wooooooow I pray our Gunners back from World Cup in full form without injuries,we are not one season wonders,WE ARE INVICIBLES!!!!
Impossible to say for sure unless you know Josh Kroenke, but I think the experience of Emery as manager taught the Arsenal owners that they had to back Arteta unequivocally and to encourage Arteta to change the culture of the club as quickly as possible. Emery was clearly a gifted coach and Villa have done well to recruit him. I remember all the discussions a few years ago about which former top player would be the best manager - Gerrard, Lampard or Rooney? And Arteta wasn't even mentioned.
people actually thought OGS and Lampard were going to be better than Arteta which was laughable. OGS scraped together wins of the back of moments rather than many, if any, decent team performances and clear tactics or progression. While Lampard had a stacked squad but didn't know how to use it. Arteta has proven many different aspects of how to manage not just a team but a club.
Arteta's tenure remind me of Klopp's early days at liverpool: Hemorrhaging goals and losses left and right. But someday, the gears clicked. The only thing that could halt them from reaching their full potential in this era is also the same: Pep's Manchester CIty.
As an Arsenal fan I really hope Chelsea sack Potter If he was given time He will do an Arteta Seen Already a lot Chelsea fan's turn on him 🤡 Saying "At Chelsea we only win trophies or Top 4" Fun Fact: Spurs had more trophies than Chelsea before takeover 💀
chelsea's been the one never "believing process" after roman's takeover. with him gone now, im curious to see how the board will go with potter this time.
As a Gooner, I loved this video. Your analysis of the Arsenal 2022/23 season so far is excellent, and your recap of how we got to where we are now was very insightful. You have a new sub! One last question for you: how do you think Arsenal need to adjust in light of the absence of Gabriel Jesus due to his surgery when the EPL resumes later this month?
Hey, man, I quit supporting Arsenal that I loved for almost two decades following Wenger's departure, but your video broke me down -- I need to support Arteta and Arsenal again. Arteta was brilliant as a player, but I had no idea about his big boy managerial moves, loyalty and passion. Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to send a link to my dad and tell him that I'm back! x
Dude, I know you are a Manu fan - like a lot of my friends. But you present your football content so well. I think you are the only guy every premier league-club - fan can agree on liking without being lynched by a third party.
Good thinks take time. We often forget about this in our fast paced world. We want success and much more immediately. But we still live under the rules of nature where things have to grow. Not diferent in football. You want a successfull team? Then let a good manager grow it together in the first place instead of firing him right away after not winning 5 times in a row. Patience pays off, Arteta and the guys at Arsenal who gave him their trust prooved that once again. This young team is a joy to watch and its great to see Odegaard living up to the expectations which were a heavy burden on him since he was still a kid.
Brother you need to be hired by like Sky sports or ESPN PLUS!!! I feel guilty enjoying this content for free!!! And thank you for this particular video as being an Arsenal fan truly is about loyalty above all else. I've became an Arsenal fan in 2007 because of how beautiful the Wengerball was and because of Henry... lolol... Henry left
i hope there isn't another leg break, that ruined Eduardos potential for his career and also Arsenals form in that title race. But people only talk about Man Utd/Chelsea that year somehow. Thats the most recent team I can think of thats of this seasons standard in terms of performance.
I think this summer and Arteta and Edu's transfer tactics put a bit of confidence in the fans, because last season, after the bad start we were becoming a very good team, particularly with Saka, Smith-Rowe and Odegaard. The transfer choices were absolutely perfect additions that we couldn't have got without Arteta. Now we look like a fantastic team that could just do with a bit of extra quality support in a couple of areas. I am over the moon that Arteta has kept Nketiah and Xhaka and shown them loyalty, he is a fantastic man manager, and these examples make me confident that his releasing Guenduzzi was spot on, even though i think Guenduzzi was a fantastic prospective talent, his ego seems to have overtaken him at arsenal, but good luck to him and Torriera.
Yoo football iconic your like the best football channel i get my ball knowladge from could you do a video about newcastle theyve impressed alot this season or almirion i promise im not a newcastle supporter(joke) and i want you to know that your videos are getting better, goodluck getting 200k before christmas!
An interesting analysis of Arsenal's current place at the summit of the Premier League. However, its not without its scepticism, and the commentator was honest about that. Arsenal is where it is in the league because of the hard work and shrewd management of Arteta, it couldn't have been sooner because of the personality Arteta had to contend with. What we see before us is the manifestation of the aforementioned 'process'. There has to be strengthening in January, and with that, I see no reason why Arsenal cannot win the league. Let's us not forget Leicester City, a team that defied the scepticism of the doubters, and yet, the team achieved the impossible. We have before us a team, that in my opinion is better, and has a manager that is better than at the time the Leicester manager. Arsenal can go on to achieve great things this season and beyond. O
Heard some rival fans talking about how Auba's mistake was minor, and that Arteta should not banish Auba from the first team (subsequently kicked out of the club). I am glad Arteta believed in what he believes, established discipline in the team and made sure that no one in the locker room thinks that he is bigger than the manager or the club. Ferguson at United has never allow any of his players to think they are bigger than the club. Best examples were Beckham and Keane. I am no way comparing Arteta to the greatest manager ever, but we are convinced that Arteta is fostering the right mentality at the team.
Early on it was apparent Arteta is a great coach. Too many people had unrealistic expectations on the process. We are not City or Chelsea who can basically field a completely different 11 every season.
Thanks Amazon for the All Or Nothing documentary show us how amazing the process Mikel did.. COYG since 98 (coz Anelka make me love Arsenal till i die)

I see the requisite confidence and resilience developing over the next couple of years. Fingers crossed. 🔴⚪
This is a thing of beauty! Brings tears to my eyes as an avid gooner COYG!!
You have quickly become one of my favourite channels on here. Aside from the soothing voice cause my dude I swear you could make a fortune by reading audio books or doing some va work, as a relatively new football fan(started watching in 2020, mainly the PL, laliga and Bundesliga) it's really interesting to learn about the history of it all in an entertaining way.
At this point I am glad they trusted the process more than I did, because for a while it looked like it just wouldn't be happening. But it took some time to build the team he imagined and to play how he wantes to. I hope they can keep it going.
Arsenal have silenced all their critics. They're laying the blueprint of how to build a sustainable football team
Nah, the audio quality on this is just incredible. Just beautiful to listen to.
Professionalism is the biggest difference between good and great teams.
Arsenal has a manager who holds a standard and makes hard choices. It usually pays off if the board sticks with that manager for a few years
Verily!!!
as a barca fan i completely understand how arsenal fan used to feel
loved this analysis, thank you Tinashe !
This process was a pretty typical rebuild in terms of the step by step approach. You blow up an older and insufficient team, favoring to recruit younger (unproven in some cases) talent that you hope have more potential upside in the long term. Then you supplement that with whatever the squad still needs.
Arsenal have followed a pretty typical process but they’ve executed on it very well!
i think the most remarkable part of the process is Arteta being given the time.
Managers get sacked every two seconds these days and it means nobody can have the time to build anything.
If you look at Tuchel with Chelsea I believe they REALLY should have kept him.
Now if they get rid of Potter I will just laugh because there is someone who REALLY needs the time and he WILL build a good team like he did with Brighton.
If more teams gave their managers more time you'd have replicas of Arsenal's recent success everywhere
Arteta has handled the Media criticism and recent success in terms of turnabout in form with beautiful dignity. A class act
‘If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same: if you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run, then yours is the earth, and everything that’s in it. And which is more - you’ll be a man, my son’.
Make a similar story on Eddie Howe and Newcastle United. Will to too early I guess, but seriously looking forward to something like that!!
From a Die-Hard Man Utd Fan❤️
"if you want loyalty, you should date an Arsenal fan"
Couldn't have summarized that in a better way, after all these years defending my team even when we were 8th as i always believed in Arteta. It gives me great joy, especially games like Liverpool, Spurs, Leeds, Fulham it has been a joy ride. Last season, we started turning around. Fans were back and now it's going to go great in future. I am sure of that, regardless of us winning the premier league or not. The way they are playing, they have helped my mental health.
Yes we still need play at Anfield, Etihad, City at home and St james Park. These 5-6 games are still there to define us. But onwards and upwards for us. Because ESR is coming back and he's going to be a legend in our club.
Right!!!!, yeah loyalty remains our bedrock. Gunners 4 lyf.
Love your videos man, always high quality stuff. Great content
The fact that arteta managed to do this well as a young coach is actually amazing. I'm a United fan so seeing such a beautiful love story is awesome
That my brother bit cracked me up so hard I almost fell out of my chair. Great video btw
I'll never forget those Arsenal fans who were screaming and throwing tantrums for arteta out 🤣😭
Their videos are still out there on the internet
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When people will understand that all coach are great they just need time we'll make a big postive step
Sir Alex Ferguson got the same treatment in 1989. The rest is history.
@@ramwinter2622 facts people always forget because it happened 3 decades ago
Josh Kroenke looks like a complete villain, but i really liked the way he talked on the All or Nothing documentary and especially with Arteta.
you’re a handsome lad, but I prefer this format WAY better then the face cam, either way keep up the good work
Will definitely be a mixture. Cheers!
Exactly. Visually better
Wenger handed Saka his senior debut, unless you speaking about their league debuts in which case you might be right, it was Unai
I feel so smug for trusting the process I told my boys at the start every arteta season we will get back to cl football with him at the helm and now we are well on the way to cl 2023-24
You deserve to be mate, took me time to see the light. I started believing after the city loss at home last season. I seen the vision
Same, same. Said to my dad the day Arteta took over - this guy is going to be special, I just hope we give him time. Thankfully, we did.
Man your videos are really good, keep the work going and trust the process...
As an Arsenal fan, it is not hard to see that this video was not made by someone who has followed Arsenal closely or who has watched games regularly.
“Gabriel Jesus just has that dawg in him, doesnt he” truest statement I’ve heard today. 💯
Omg 03/04 is 18 years ago? I really feel old now. And…seeing Henry play was just like yesterday
This vid gave me goosebumps like 20 times. Come on Arsenal!
As great as this video is, not to mention the impact Edu has had alongside Arteta is criminal. Edu has done the due diligence on every player that’s come into the club, and other than Willian (which seemed like a certainty at the time) it has been his hard work that’s changed the clubs future ❤ COYG!!
Thank u sir, we are enjoying the ride.
Great video and as an arsenal fan I sure hope this will be the begging of many more great things. There will be bumps on the way but I believe in this team
Same here
I have been supporter of Arsenal since 2017. I literally don't know how this affection started. For me, it was like LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.. It was the time when Arsenal was not doing good, Team was also ageing, OZIL was there, LACAZATTE used to be our key striker .Then we brought Aubemeyang in our team in hope that.. time will change.. but sadly it did not happened. Season after season, the performance of the team was going down. From 2nd spot in 2016 to 8th spot in 2019🥺 It was so painful to see my team struggling against 3rd class clubs in Premier League... But there was always some kind of positive vibes in my heart. I always knew it will only take one good season to convert all those suffering into a dream PL run. Then begins 2022 season. Like other season every PL fans thought Arsenal will suffer again bcoz there were no established players this time. Youngest team till now, then wonder happens, we won 5 games in a row at the start of the season in August 2022... This young team gave us hope.. And now this team is giving us (Arsenal fans) the happiness and sense of satisfaction, we were seeking since many years. Without a doubt this year (2022) is the best year of my life......Thank you Gunners for making 2022 much more beautiful ❤️
❤️❤️Ending 2022 at top of the table❤️❤️
Trophy 🏆 is not too far...
Thank you for this 📹.. very much appreciated how it was all explainedd
Thank you very much for the video, I requested it for a long time. Lets go GUUNERS.
Tinashe, this is pretty well made video about this clubs return to contention. I've seen it thrice. Great editing skills. More grease to your elbows. Keep them coming.
I'm speechless I'm in deep shock how Arteta transform Our club !!! I love this guy but all I expected was just built strong , competitive team.Wooooooow I pray our Gunners back from World Cup in full form without injuries,we are not one season wonders,WE ARE INVICIBLES!!!!
Excellent presentation! Your gifted… I pray you have much success and continue to grow in your pursuits! God Bless
Fantastic video.
Been waiting for this arsenal video 👌🏿
Dope video bro!!
This is a brilliant video bro. Keep it up man
Impossible to say for sure unless you know Josh Kroenke, but I think the experience of Emery as manager taught the Arsenal owners that they had to back Arteta unequivocally and to encourage Arteta to change the culture of the club as quickly as possible. Emery was clearly a gifted coach and Villa have done well to recruit him.
I remember all the discussions a few years ago about which former top player would be the best manager - Gerrard, Lampard or Rooney? And Arteta wasn't even mentioned.
people actually thought OGS and Lampard were going to be better than Arteta which was laughable. OGS scraped together wins of the back of moments rather than many, if any, decent team performances and clear tactics or progression. While Lampard had a stacked squad but didn't know how to use it. Arteta has proven many different aspects of how to manage not just a team but a club.
Arteta's tenure remind me of Klopp's early days at liverpool: Hemorrhaging goals and losses left and right. But someday, the gears clicked. The only thing that could halt them from reaching their full potential in this era is also the same: Pep's Manchester CIty.
As an Arsenal fan
I really hope
Chelsea sack Potter
If he was given time
He will do an Arteta
Seen Already a lot Chelsea fan's turn on him 🤡
Saying "At Chelsea we only win trophies or Top 4"
Fun Fact: Spurs had more trophies than Chelsea before takeover 💀
Man city too
chelsea's been the one never "believing process" after roman's takeover. with him gone now, im curious to see how the board will go with potter this time.
The Process has to be respected 💯
Some ppl need to show Barcelona this, who need to take a step back and rebuild.
big respect for arteta, that man is an insane manager
Martelini is like the Messi-esque of Arsenal like any team. Every team has at least one with fraaction of Messi's attacking prowess.
There’s always someone that has to ruin it, smh
@@mmsjejrinside385 Did I ruin ur chances of becoming a millionaire???
Great stuff here. You have a good voice for this kind of video breakdown.
As a Gooner, I loved this video. Your analysis of the Arsenal 2022/23 season so far is excellent, and your recap of how we got to where we are now was very insightful. You have a new sub! One last question for you: how do you think Arsenal need to adjust in light of the absence of Gabriel Jesus due to his surgery when the EPL resumes later this month?
Nice work dude. I enjoyed this. 👍
"I beg your pardon" with Artetas zoomed in face killed me😂😂😂
been waiting awhile to see this
Great video my man
As always excellent analysis 👍👍
Hey, man, I quit supporting Arsenal that I loved for almost two decades following Wenger's departure, but your video broke me down -- I need to support Arteta and Arsenal again. Arteta was brilliant as a player, but I had no idea about his big boy managerial moves, loyalty and passion. Thank you so much for this video.
I'm going to send a link to my dad and tell him that I'm back! x
What a great video. Subbed
Damn my favourite video...I respect the process every week...the process must be respected 💪💪💪COYG
Superb video mate, glad that I watched it. I am just wondering where are all those people who kept shouting Arteta Out ? Haha.
Got a new subscriber wangu, keep it up 👌
Dude, I know you are a Manu fan - like a lot of my friends. But you present your football content so well. I think you are the only guy every premier league-club - fan can agree on liking without being lynched by a third party.
We have a same phrase 10 years ago when I was in college. The man can't cheat, he's a liverpool's fan. That was when duo American owners era.
Good thinks take time. We often forget about this in our fast paced world. We want success and much more immediately. But we still live under the rules of nature where things have to grow. Not diferent in football. You want a successfull team? Then let a good manager grow it together in the first place instead of firing him right away after not winning 5 times in a row. Patience pays off, Arteta and the guys at Arsenal who gave him their trust prooved that once again.
This young team is a joy to watch and its great to see Odegaard living up to the expectations which were a heavy burden on him since he was still a kid.
Brother you need to be hired by like Sky sports or ESPN PLUS!!! I feel guilty enjoying this content for free!!! And thank you for this particular video as being an Arsenal fan truly is about loyalty above all else. I've became an Arsenal fan in 2007 because of how beautiful the Wengerball was and because of Henry... lolol... Henry left
Is it a coincidence that your best vid is the one without your facecam on it? I jest. Banger vid mate
Think you should do a video about xhaka how he has gone from widely hated to widely loved from all arsenal fans
Great video 👌🏽. As an Arsenal fan, I agree with everything you’ve said.
freakin relax, it's not even january yet, i'll never get over the trauma of 07/08
i hope there isn't another leg break, that ruined Eduardos potential for his career and also Arsenals form in that title race. But people only talk about Man Utd/Chelsea that year somehow. Thats the most recent team I can think of thats of this seasons standard in terms of performance.
Btw I'm new to the channel and in no way a football fan but I love the presentation of these videos that got me hooked last Christmas
I think this summer and Arteta and Edu's transfer tactics put a bit of confidence in the fans, because last season, after the bad start we were becoming a very good team, particularly with Saka, Smith-Rowe and Odegaard. The transfer choices were absolutely perfect additions that we couldn't have got without Arteta.
Now we look like a fantastic team that could just do with a bit of extra quality support in a couple of areas.
I am over the moon that Arteta has kept Nketiah and Xhaka and shown them loyalty, he is a fantastic man manager, and these examples make me confident that his releasing Guenduzzi was spot on, even though i think Guenduzzi was a fantastic prospective talent, his ego seems to have overtaken him at arsenal, but good luck to him and Torriera.
Lovely video as always. Cheers!
(I will ask this till the day I die: video on Beckham's stardom and time at Old Trafford please)
Yoo football iconic
your like the best football channel i get my ball knowladge from
could you do a video about newcastle theyve impressed alot this season or almirion
i promise im not a newcastle supporter(joke)
and i want you to know that your videos are getting better, goodluck getting 200k before christmas!
An interesting analysis of Arsenal's current place at the summit of the Premier League. However, its not without its scepticism, and the commentator was honest about that.
Arsenal is where it is in the league because of the hard work and shrewd management of Arteta, it couldn't have been sooner because of the personality Arteta had to contend with. What we see before us is the manifestation of the aforementioned 'process'. There has to be strengthening in January, and with that, I see no reason why Arsenal cannot win the league.
Let's us not forget Leicester City, a team that defied the scepticism of the doubters, and yet, the team achieved the impossible. We have before us a team, that in my opinion is better, and has a manager that is better than at the time the Leicester manager. Arsenal can go on to achieve great things this season and beyond. O
Would love to see a video about Newcastle. They came from 19th in December last season to 3rd in November this season!
Great presentation. :)
The evolution of Arsenal under Mikel Arteta continues....Big things coming!!! 🤞🏿
Heard some rival fans talking about how Auba's mistake was minor, and that Arteta should not banish Auba from the first team (subsequently kicked out of the club). I am glad Arteta believed in what he believes, established discipline in the team and made sure that no one in the locker room thinks that he is bigger than the manager or the club. Ferguson at United has never allow any of his players to think they are bigger than the club. Best examples were Beckham and Keane. I am no way comparing Arteta to the greatest manager ever, but we are convinced that Arteta is fostering the right mentality at the team.
"If you want loyalty, you should date an Arsenal fan."
Well I take that as a compliment 😂
Early on it was apparent Arteta is a great coach. Too many people had unrealistic expectations on the process. We are not City or Chelsea who can basically field a completely different 11 every season.
Thanks Amazon for the All Or Nothing documentary show us how amazing the process Mikel did.. COYG since 98 (coz Anelka make me love Arsenal till i die)
This visuals are super nice
