Honestly I'm starting to get worried, personally I don't think the team lacks talent but if we want to win games, we need to play to our players strengths, regardless of the injuries. My manager needs to sit down and find a solution
@@thegreat7861 And this is how I know every arsenal fan on this channel is Deluded. You lot are not catching City or Liverpool. Chelsea and Villa is about to pass youbon the table. You man were leading City by 10 pts and bottled it, You are going to be at least 10 pts behind Liverpool next week. You man couldnt win being 10pts ahead of everyone, you wont win the league you deluded mug. Season is iver, you aint winning the league.
Arsenal don’t have a plan to be ruthless. It is evident in all matches this season. They are passive and want to be so defensive. They never take risks to break down midfield or defences.
There are two things biting us in the back. One of them is old players lacking in quality & mentality. Martinelli does not have the quality we need, he can only beat players through speed. Its very simple. Trossard would give us more in LW position. Martinelli needs to be demoted to the bench. Jesus has completely lost the plot. He was unwilling to take on players. He's a confidence player. If he is not playing consistently, he just doesn't perform at all. Other problem is Arteta having to consistently change the team and game plan based on the players he has available. We can't blame this on anyone. Its due to injuries. We have no alternative to Odegaard & Nwaneri is still getting his off the ball game right. Trossard who is our best goal threat is simply playing in the wrong position. Kai Havertz is also trying to occupy the space left by Saka. What Odegaard does best is he can hold the ball in the busy space and can release the ball forward when he sees the players. Both Trossard and Havertz cannot do it. Perhaps we still have shot with Carabao Cup, FA Cup & UCL. PL is a hard ask at this point. Upon all this, Newcastle were very good yesterday.
@Steph_D_1st He was not crowded a lot of times. He has had atleast 3-4 1:1 chances with Liverminto. He is simply not a dribbler who can beat players dribbling. He needs space and options to beat players. Let's say he dribbles through Liverminto, he doesn't know when to release the ball, lacks vision & misses most of his chances while shooting. So what's the point?!
We need a better Coach for sure. Arteta killed all our young talents because he never trust them and kept them at the bench, and finally sold or loaned them. Some of the senior players don't deserve to be in the payroll anymore, including the Coach.
@Bilge-Tekin Unless we get someone like Ancelloti or Zidane, someone proven, there is no point in changing the coach. How many ManCity youngsters are playing the first team?! Sure Barca is an example. But the Hale end is no la masia.
1. Arteta is too rigid and not flexible enough. 2. How could he not see we needed Partey in 6 to play through the lines, and Rice as 8 to carry the ball through low blocks and make something happen?
😂 too rigid and not flexible enough. He is number1 compared to top4 managers to have many players to play different positions. Since he came has chopped and changed formations and systems.
@@olayiwolaakerele254 spot on. Rice is never a 6. I don't know why people like to think of Rice as a 6. He is useless at 6. He plays much better box to box. Where he can put his horsepower in practice.
@amajeet Rigidity comes in different forms. Fitting players into positions just to play a particular system is one. Having a plan b, a different system to fit the players available is the flexibility I am talking about.
Everybody is yupping about ishak now. Two seasons ago when Ishak was priced at 70m in Jan transfer window, people like Tom canton & Harry symeou (club spokesperson in disguise) said, we should not spend money rashly in Jan transfer window as club will decide in a world class striker in summer window, we ended up buying 65m Havertz, now we want to bring in Ishak when Newcastle wants 150m, this’s the level of our fan channels/ podcasters. They were okay with not buying guimeres for 35m and then became a club mouth piece when Edu & Arteta spun that they got the hidden gem of Portuguese league aka featherweight Fabio Viera….yaaaay, result of 8/10 transfer windows. 😇
I was watching the match for 25 minutes before I realized that Leandro was on the pitch. I don't know if they weren't getting him the ball or whether he wasn't demanding it. I agree that we got no penetration up the middle and as a result our work on the wings was also stale. As for Arteta...dial it back folks...nobody gets it right all the time...we'll come good.
I thought you would talk how Declan Rice drop stinkers in that DM position while we keeping Partey out at Right Back one of the Best midfielders in the league thats insane
Trossard is not our problem..man has been playing out of position for like eternity…lets talk about Martinelli..he only had one Livramento marking him..and he couldn’t do anything..on a day 3 players were on Saka..forget the fact that He(Martinelli) scored some 2/3 goals some few weeks back..he’s only ‘Good’..when the entire team is ‘Good’..to challenge for league title..we need a world class,ruthless left winger and a backup for Saka
I do think we all have underestimated the importance of MØs high quality press for our defence. The amount of goals give away without MØ in the team, vs MØ in the team has to be quiet a gap.
And the amount of people saying we could play without him from September are to blame. I don’t know why anyone thought we had a single player close to the level of odegaard
In those earlier games when we were scraping wins without Ø, I began to see a growing narrative that Ø was holding Arsenal back. Oh how that aged like milk.
We ain’t winning the league and will continue to have these game where we can not penetrate teams who press and defend. Tell me what was Havertz role in that match? We are finished.
@stevesalkas9128 Get it in your head. You cant win the league from this point onwards. Why are there so many deluded gooners in this comment sectio? Bhuvs is deluded no wonder his following is.
1) The very first thing ive noticed is the stamina that the players have, players like saka,timber and gabriel werent at full stamina and saka after the 1st half was limping. 2)No player dares properly, what i mean is when a team like Newcastles physical midfield who are hard to go through maybe two-three long shots woudnt hurt.. or dribbling instead of waiting for the attackers to get inside.. 3)A proper set-piece taker aside bukayo.... Declan rice was fantastic against Liverpool getting an assist but against newcastle he didnt have his rhythm at all. We have a lot of problems and injuries but instead of just complaining too much, we can cheer up the players put our faith in them, im not saying that we shouldnt point out the mistakes but over exaggerating them is not what a true fan does.
That's another thing; we have players that just keep getting injured, Tomiyasu, Tierney (not that he plays anyway,) Zinchenko is often hurt, Jesus who doesn't contribute much lately, Calafiori and Timber we'll have to wait on. I guess it's what Liverpool had to deal with last season.
Yes, the league seems particularly competitive this season, so I agree that no team is likely to finish with 90+ points. City have injury issues of their own, and there's still some uncertainty surrounding Liverpool and their new manager. Further, we have already played four very tough away fixtures (plus Liverpool at home), something our strongest challengers have yet to face. Not feeling terribly optimistic at the moment, but all in all, I think there's still hope.
5 things I learned: 1. Newcastle weren't good at all on the day! Arsenal were just in disarray. 2. Partey is the best no. 6 we have. Our game improved drastically when he was brought back in as he could influence the game more. 3. Rice is better at number 8 where he has the license to hang on the ball, pick intelligent passes or make those his trademark carries. 4. Merino is mid, at least for now. Merino-Rice can not work at least for now. 5. Not even Odegaard would have played well in the no 10 position with the way we lacked control of the game. Nwaneri had only 11 touches in 30 mins tells you alot. Summary, our game is quarter-back centred. A lot depends on our pivot. Our best pivot for now is Partey-Rice. Merino should join Jorginhio for now at least.
5 things you need to learn 1) Newcastle beat you 2) Partey did nothing on the day 3) Rice missed a sitter 4) Merino used to play for Newcastle, we sold him 5) Odegard did not play Summary, you should try watching the game with your eyes open
We miss Ødegaard (and maybe a trip to Dubai lol). I don‘t know the numbers, but our press seems not that effective. We create less chances. There are too few players in the Squad who can make „something out of nothing“. We don‘t need 10 on the field at all times, but 1-2 players more will do. (Nwaneri maybe if Arteta gives him more opportunities). We can play without Ødegaard, but not for an extended period. We‘re getting to predictable. Also, we will concede chances / goals, and that is alright. We lost the Game because we didn‘t really punch back. Also, why is it still a problem that like 4 of our defenders are constantly out injured? Are they all that injury prone? I honestly don‘t know what we should do in the transfer window. Left side looked good at the beginning of the season, but now with all the different lineups again, there seems to be too little chemistry. Don‘t think even more new players can fix that. Not saying that there aren‘t upgrades possible, I‘m just confused. 😅
I agree we miss Odegaard but I don't know if it fixes everything. I think we still need an aggressive attacking player that can give us a spark. Gyokeres, Kudus, Cunha etc. Rice tried to do that yesterday. Drive into the box and have a shot but that's not really his game.. Nwaneri is there too if Arteta can just trust him more. I know he had no impact yesterday but he could be an x factor in another game..
I agree that we need a player who can give us a spark. But our right side usually works so well because Saka and Ødegaard are obviously world class, but also because the Trio Saka/Ødegaard/White plays like almost every game, so they have a deep understanding about each other. I think even if we get someone on the left side, how will there be a similar threat to our opponents if the LB switches every other game? Of course there will be rotations, but the injuries are crazy. And that‘s been a problem last year aswell. Up front I think Havertz is fine. I don‘t think Gyokeres would be worth the price tag since we have a great player there already. But we need something.
In terms of transfers...Big names is just not what we do, bar Rice and I guess Merino. We operate via a system and plug in the players that we know will play their role. We win as a team. In terms of everything else...If we go down again, we go down again and we come back next year. We can't let these obstacles and unfortunate circumstances make us forget the records we broke last year and all of the work the organization went through. From the top to the drop, we're here, we're going forward, things take time, so chill tf out, change your underwear, and strap in and let's do what we gotta do. We can't change how hard it is to win the league. We just gotta go back to what works...and having Odegaard back would be nice 😅 ❤❤❤👍
Agree 100%. Esr is the one that's still depressing to me cos this was his chance. He'd had an opportunity to get heavy minutes. To even make the decision more criminal we didn't even bring not 1 attacking reinforcement in midfield. It's almost like hoping on a prayer Odegaard doesn't get injured smh
Trossard is a winger, Havertz needs players close to him, we should have re-integrated KT as a backup for Calafiori to get Martinelli more centrally and we have noone making third man runs.
Martinelli nor Trossard is a good enough LW for a starting 11 looking to beat city to the prem. Totally relying on Ødegaard and not getting / getting rid of back up for him was criminal.
The issue for us is the midfield and our lack of attacking creativity. Also, against Newcastle, we did not steal many balls in their defensive third and catch their defense backpedaling, where as we normally do that a lot and when we do it creates opportunities.
I am a supporter of arteta and 1 thing I learned with the Newcastle match,we were not good enough. Many asked for a striker in the summer and were ignored completely .needed in the next Windows striker, creative midfielder, left wing. I don't think the Premier League is out of reach if we buy in the January transfer window. If not ,it's down to the manager and board.
This is bound to happen in all teams… we need a player who can take responsibility alone, go forward and score! Martinelli has little output after running down the line Get me kudus 😢
As much as this falls down a lack of incisive line breaking passing. It not like we had chances. As barren as they come Saka can make them, but has no focal point in the box to aim to. Our inability to cross from and in swing and get a player around the 6-yard box is terrifying. We need a striker that has the instinct to roam in the box and cause havoc. It can even create runs in behind creating space for late runs for like oddegard and rice partey etc. We also just need someone who doesn’t need 3 or 4 chances like havertz, but someone who will score the first or at least the second
Bhavss. Football has turned around back. Arsenal needs a classic number 9. Sometimes games are slow or ugly , and all they need is a poacher to change it.This are games Eddie can impact if he's on his A game
11:19 Are you sure? Liverpool and man city are going to make you eat your words! Arsenal are not going to achieve 90+ points, but both Man City and Liverpool are on course to achieve that!!!
As a Newcastle supporter, I found this a very inciteful, reasoned and more importantly calm analysis. I like his format and presentation. More power and success for the future of your channel mate. Keep the faith gooners !!!
In this game in particular...we were crying out for 1) A dynamic > explosive left winger 2) A quality creative midfielder able to dribble through opposing defenders 3) A killer striker >> match winner!! If we hope to win something Major this season, and finish no worse than 3rd in The League, then we MUST GO ALL OUT FOR Gyokeres in January for starters!!!
There is so much talk about buying an out-and-out striker but if he doesn't get given the ball, he won't score. We are just not creating very much this season. Bournemouth (1 shot on target out of 6 attempts); Liverpool (3 shots on target out of 9 attempts). Even the PNE game was not a convincing victory, despite the scoreline against a Championship side (10 shots on target out of 18 attempts). And the same against Shaky Donuts (1 shot on target out of 9 attempts). It's a fear of shooting and then not even being able to find the target, let alone score. A fear of shooting and then not even being able to find the target, let alone score. We cannot seem to even get corners at the moment. Contrast all this with the Leicester game only a month ago: (16 shots on target out of 35 attempts with 17 corners). This is just a blip but it needs sorting ASAP. Everyone talks about Citeh but Liverpool cannot be ignored nor can them from the Lane [or wherever they're playing these days].
It’s over. Only a miraculous comeback can give us the title. A cup win and a top 4 could be the max this team can achieve. Unless and until we act aggressively in the market, we can’t win the title. We are just adding good players to the squad, but what we actually need are great players
Havertz can’t even do a simple stepover. He is not a possession loving player (too direct). He can’t tiki taka pass. He can’t drop deep and create, playing through pass like a Spanish number 10. Can’t do tricks or skill moves. His touches/close control are not silky/tekky. He is not a technical baller. Jesus and Trossard are Arsenal’s Firmino. They are the perfect false 9. But Arteta just won’t play them as their sole false 9. Arsenal need to replace Havertz with Amine Gouiri, Gabriel Vidovic or Victor Roque. They need a small technical skillful creative false 9. This is Arsenal current best eleven but Arteta just won’t play this. Sterling Jesus Trossard Jorginho Merino/Partey Odegaard Zinchenko Calafiori Saliba Timber Raya
@@Bhavss14 Was telling a friend of mine that seems like Gyo isn't tall enough for Arteta ball 😅😅😅 He wants Sesko, despite not being in the same Gyo league.
There's no playmaker. We sacrifice the entire team for Odegaard solely. We should keep Veira and/or ESR for this role and adapt to more style than just O8. And we so fvckin confident with our forward fgs, we need the likes of Gyokeres/Sesko.
We need to seriously work on our counter attack game. Raya constantly slows things down and our build up almost waits for the opponent to get into position
It's funny how Arsenal fans rushed to kick out Thomas Partey when Mikel Merino was coming 😂😂😂😂 Arsenal is finished this season if they do away with Thomas Partey in the midfield
The truth is there some players that are good playing as a sub by doing that they would read the game very well before coming in, Trossard is that type of player but he wants to play 90 minutes and that is really affecting him seriously
We are now effectively fighting for 3rd position this season. The juggernaut ManC are, they will definitely be back in the fight for the league championship against Liverpool. The matches we have already lost are a massive blow for our chances to win the league. We desperately need a clinical striker who gives us goals after goals from even the half chances we create. As much as we all love Kai, we Can not rely on him being a goal scoring striker upfront.
We need some like Joao Pedro who has the technical ability and link up play centrally. I've been saying it for a long time now. Even with Oodegard we struggle with that sometimes.
I feel that we had to change the formation to a 4-4-2 we needed to overload the midfield because we lost the midfield battles and duels;we needed to put Jesus and Kai upfront we needed height and pace;midfield we needed Partey and Rice ;no Trossard and Merino were needed in the second half;we needed Nwaneri to play on the wing and drift in the midfield at times with Saka
The problem is the other teams have strengthened by adding better players or better managers but did not same old dusty first team players in which quite a few of them needed to upgraded upon
Nice show Bahvs! Firstly! Have to give Newcastle total respect! Had a game plan and implemented it perfectly! As for Arsenal?! Shambolic! Worst game I’ve seen Arsenal play this season ! Gutless ! All below a 5! Trossard and matinelli were a 3! Is the league over?! A little early but these performances have to stop!! On the creativity! Disturbingly missing! The players in midfield really need to up their game! Are they capable of? Not so sure! Really not buying into the lack of a striker! BUT! Playing Havertz out of position doesn’t help along with Martinelli Trossard right now needing dropping allowing some fresh blood to get a chance! Jesus !!! Don’t know what’s going on with him! Sterling is showing signs . The dynamics of this team needs some serious adjustment! The spine is all over the place! The Newcastle and Bournemouth games have shown some major holes that have to be filled! NOW! Blame game has to go to both team and manager! Seems it’s not a happy camp right now! Body language suggests that!
We are watching the ball bounce around in every area of the pitch, instead of being assertive and controlling the ball. Kai has started doing a Kane when the ball is in the area instead of trying to use his height advantage to win for others to pick up the second ball. The most disappointing thing was the lack of urgency and fight. Where is our aggression? No point being gentle giants.
The team has been lacking from the start.The slow way we play is a major factor.When we play with a faster tempo we flow as a team.Something is wrong at the club and needs fixing asap because that game yesterday was a disgrace
Ben White has been central to the teams link-up play with Odegard and Saka...Our best success came with him on the field. Party is arguably our best passer and distributor in midfield. I don't think it was broken, so why shift Partey and benched White. Trossard has proven to be quite a Super Sub and so there is no need to reward him by forcing him to play full time at the expense of the team.. All is not lost and the Gunners will rebound
Mikel was always too light in midfield, and it shows on the creative side. We can't unlock defences coz we don't have the players who can play through the centre. AFC should've made large offers for a Musiala/Wirtz type player.
It's like we don't want to be predictable so we are trying new tactics instead of sticking with what works. Trossard has been starting more ever since he refused to celebrate a goal at the start of the season, I want to see Arteta get angry again and wake these players up
I will say Arteta killed the game, starting our best inform midfielder at RB when B.White is fully fit. Rice & T. Partey should always start our EPL midfield games if both are fit. M. Merino is a good addition to the midfield but not yet clicked into the squad. Ample of examples why am sure M.Arteta killed the game.
Last season we lost 5.games in total and pushed city all the way. There's a lot of football still to play. Our dodgy run was over Christmas last season, it happens but we can't afford mich more. Get it sorted boys...
Players were just standing around, ball watching. And Newcastle parked 5 men in a wall in the midfield and Arsenal just had no movement to break lines.-Weird game
I have been saying this since the beginning of the season that Arsenal attacking line is average and the midfielder need strong skillful player like Kudos in January or Arsenal will end 4th position this season instead of winning it because Manchester city isn't good this season like last season Arsenal should be taking advantage of that instead Arsenal is weaker, because of bad transfer market of Arteta and Edu in the right places Arsenal isn't strong enough, i expect Arteta to address the weakness of last season which is the attacking position, midfielder, one central defender who can play anywhere in defence and left back from premier league instead Arteta, Edu and Arsenal boards wasted the whole transfer market chasing Merino and Calafori he should have bring very early in pre season to adapt with the team. Arsenal will celebrate am proud of my boys at the end of the season as usual, we have been keeping faithless faith for more than 20 years and have been trusting the progress for 5 years now no premier league, no cup only once by mistake because of the quality striker then, or champions league
The most sensible comment on here bro, this is so right………I was really disappointed we didn’t get another technical deep line playmaker, it’s what we needed
I believe our problem is our tactics. We are way too defensive minded which is why we are struggling offensively. We need to be more proactive, believe and dominant games instead of allowing teams to play their game.
Trossard is not at the level for a first team starter. He’s an impact player. We need reinforcements in Jan. I’m not sure why everyone’s surprised. We just come out the other end of a summer window having made a profit and a team which is weaker. It’s Edu/ownership we need to look at, not so much Arteta.
Man Martinelli and Trossard would be useful substitutes … we need to focus on attackers next season , Trossard is awful as starter, Martinelli not much better…Havertz is not your pure nine I don’t think … that should be addressed as well …
Arteta has reached his peak with Arsenal, he cannot take Arsenal any further. We need attacking players as the ones we have are too predictable. We need someone with creative spark and finishing
Support another team. Pep has been at Eufalona nearly ten, farmers munich about 3 and nearly ten now with man cheaties...Arteta is just starting. You cry and support another club now pal
Rafa leao is an obvious upgrade on Martinelli .Deal doable .Eze would have been an adequate alternative to Odegaard. Gyokeres/ Toney /Isak better strikes than both Havertz & Jesus. If we can waste £105 on a dm like Rice surely £75 - £100m on a proven striker is a better investment.
Waste on D Rice. Man gtfo. Also, comparison wise, Gyokeres was coventry city player and no one knows how good he be at PL. Havertz is different type of skillet player to jesus anyhow. You just naming names. Arteta has played many pro games and managed many pro games, yet by naming players makes you manager of the decade! 😂
Trossard has been poor all season, why are people only noticing it now. we needed a striker in the summer and the MANAGEMENT felt otherwise, now we are toast when it comes to the title race.
I DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF PARTEY IN DEFENSE TAKE THE RISK YOU MUST NOT ALWAYS PLAY A 4 DEFENSE SACRIFICE THEM AND BRING PARTEY BACK TO HIS POSITION HE HAS A WAY TO BRING CALM THE BALANCE AND IS STRONG IN THE MIDFIELD NOW I SEE THAT WE MISS A CREATIVITY PARTEY HAS BEEN DOING LOTS OF JOB IN THE MIDFIELD BUT WE DID NOT KNOW.
How we honestly feeling gooners?
Pissed. Now standing by to be shamed by the other London clubs.
What do you think were feelings. U have enabled this by sucking off arteta and these players who are all average players who bottle it when it matters
I think our coach is too stubborn.
Makes No Sense To Stay Hard headed When Your Tactics don't Click.... Get a Plan B and shake things off.... He should Know that By Now Dammn! 😬😬😬
Honestly I'm starting to get worried, personally I don't think the team lacks talent but if we want to win games, we need to play to our players strengths, regardless of the injuries. My manager needs to sit down and find a solution
That Newcastle mid-block was very impressive. Very bad phase we're going through (it happens in football), we'll be back.

100%
Very true. We need Kudus or Nico kind of players. Or we need someone who can do what Odegaard does and play Trossard in LW.
It's very disgraceful arteta never learns he behaves like a baby coach am very pissed off we need q striker
We need the two Kudus and a striker either Osimhen or geokores

@@nuudelz3711are to blame for what? Are they the ones playing on the field? Silly excuses.
Is arsenal the only team with injuries to key players?
In those earlier games when we were scraping wins without Ø, I began to see a growing narrative that Ø was holding Arsenal back. Oh how that aged like milk.
Trossard dropped an absolute masterclass of a stinker yesterday. Straight up if he got 1 of those cement foot touches right we score at least one.
All I know is we'll be back, stronger 💪
We ain’t winning the league and will continue to have these game where we can not penetrate teams who press and defend. Tell me what was Havertz role in that match? We are finished.
You deluded. You man bottled the league in November
Hope ya right and arteta goes back to attacking football not this rubbish it's not working
@stevesalkas9128 Get it in your head. You cant win the league from this point onwards. Why are there so many deluded gooners in this comment sectio? Bhuvs is deluded no wonder his following is.
@@chinwing532 Take a break mate. You’re not cut out for this
1) The very first thing ive noticed is the stamina that the players have, players like saka,timber and gabriel werent at full stamina and saka after the 1st half was limping.
2)No player dares properly, what i mean is when a team like Newcastles physical midfield who are hard to go through maybe two-three long shots woudnt hurt.. or dribbling instead of waiting for the attackers to get inside..
3)A proper set-piece taker aside bukayo.... Declan rice was fantastic against Liverpool getting an assist but against newcastle he didnt have his rhythm at all.
We have a lot of problems and injuries but instead of just complaining too much, we can cheer up the players put our faith in them, im not saying that we shouldnt point out the mistakes but over exaggerating them is not what a true fan does.
Couldn’t agree more👏🏾
The closest we can ever come to winning pl was last year.... We're competing for top4 from now on
That’s what I have been saying, something is different about teams this season. They are a lot competitive
Pessimist

No Ø and trying to turn Partey as a right back, come on Arteta, the midfield will always shake... COYG 🔴⚪️❤
Martinelli was clicking with Cali but then Cali got injured
Clicked? Yes!
That's another thing; we have players that just keep getting injured, Tomiyasu, Tierney (not that he plays anyway,) Zinchenko is often hurt, Jesus who doesn't contribute much lately, Calafiori and Timber we'll have to wait on. I guess it's what Liverpool had to deal with last season.
I just dont get why people dont trust the process you can't say the tilte race is over with 28 games to go that's wild to me
Yes, the league seems particularly competitive this season, so I agree that no team is likely to finish with 90+ points. City have injury issues of their own, and there's still some uncertainty surrounding Liverpool and their new manager. Further, we have already played four very tough away fixtures (plus Liverpool at home), something our strongest challengers have yet to face. Not feeling terribly optimistic at the moment, but all in all, I think there's still hope.
The only comment that has common sense and has phrased my exact thoughts. Everyone is just screaming “doom” which is tiring at this point
Agreed
We learned that there is nothing Nwaneri can do to get in to the starting 11...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You hit the nail on the head......
Mate his cameo was shit today
Arteta needs to realize that off form is off form. Nwaneri is on form . He should trust him more .
Ÿyyy@@lienonamron9580
5 things I learned:
1. Newcastle weren't good at all on the day! Arsenal were just in disarray.
2. Partey is the best no. 6 we have. Our game improved drastically when he was brought back in as he could influence the game more.
3. Rice is better at number 8 where he has the license to hang on the ball, pick intelligent passes or make those his trademark carries.
4. Merino is mid, at least for now. Merino-Rice can not work at least for now.
5. Not even Odegaard would have played well in the no 10 position with the way we lacked control of the game. Nwaneri had only 11 touches in 30 mins tells you alot.
Summary, our game is quarter-back centred. A lot depends on our pivot. Our best pivot for now is Partey-Rice. Merino should join Jorginhio for now at least.
5 things you need to learn
1) Newcastle beat you
2) Partey did nothing on the day
3) Rice missed a sitter
4) Merino used to play for Newcastle, we sold him
5) Odegard did not play
Summary, you should try watching the game with your eyes open
Na mate. Newcastle made Your team look pathetic. Forget the title.
The international breaks have killed our season. And with more to come. I hold no hope.
Why hasn’t it killed other clubs season? Aren’t they participating in the same international competitions? Try another excuse.
I love your consistency with posting videos man!!
Bhavs banter era incoming
We miss Ødegaard (and maybe a trip to Dubai lol). I don‘t know the numbers, but our press seems not that effective. We create less chances. There are too few players in the Squad who can make „something out of nothing“. We don‘t need 10 on the field at all times, but 1-2 players more will do. (Nwaneri maybe if Arteta gives him more opportunities).
We can play without Ødegaard, but not for an extended period. We‘re getting to predictable.
Also, we will concede chances / goals, and that is alright. We lost the Game because we didn‘t really punch back.
Also, why is it still a problem that like 4 of our defenders are constantly out injured? Are they all that injury prone?
I honestly don‘t know what we should do in the transfer window. Left side looked good at the beginning of the season, but now with all the different lineups again, there seems to be too little chemistry. Don‘t think even more new players can fix that. Not saying that there aren‘t upgrades possible, I‘m just confused. 😅
I agree we miss Odegaard but I don't know if it fixes everything. I think we still need an aggressive attacking player that can give us a spark. Gyokeres, Kudus, Cunha etc. Rice tried to do that yesterday. Drive into the box and have a shot but that's not really his game.. Nwaneri is there too if Arteta can just trust him more. I know he had no impact yesterday but he could be an x factor in another game..
I agree that we need a player who can give us a spark. But our right side usually works so well because Saka and Ødegaard are obviously world class, but also because the Trio Saka/Ødegaard/White plays like almost every game, so they have a deep understanding about each other.
I think even if we get someone on the left side, how will there be a similar threat to our opponents if the LB switches every other game? Of course there will be rotations, but the injuries are crazy. And that‘s been a problem last year aswell.
Up front I think Havertz is fine. I don‘t think Gyokeres would be worth the price tag since we have a great player there already. But we need something.
Fabian Luiz of PSG was a better option than Merino. Period.
Wingers who can play inside and outside the line also needed badly.
In terms of transfers...Big names is just not what we do, bar Rice and I guess Merino. We operate via a system and plug in the players that we know will play their role. We win as a team.
In terms of everything else...If we go down again, we go down again and we come back next year. We can't let these obstacles and unfortunate circumstances make us forget the records we broke last year and all of the work the organization went through. From the top to the drop, we're here, we're going forward, things take time, so chill tf out, change your underwear, and strap in and let's do what we gotta do. We can't change how hard it is to win the league. We just gotta go back to what works...and having Odegaard back would be nice 😅 ❤❤❤👍
Keeping digging up excuses
I don’t know why we sold Nketiah without replacing him, and letting both ESR & Viera go
We shouldn't have let both ESR and Fabio leave at once
That’s isn’t the case here, M.Arteta got it wrong again. If it worked against Liverpool doesn’t mean it’s gonna work against Newcastle.
@olowofoyekunoyewale3105 that's also true I suppose. Partey at RB wasn't good this time
Agree 100%. Esr is the one that's still depressing to me cos this was his chance. He'd had an opportunity to get heavy minutes. To even make the decision more criminal we didn't even bring not 1 attacking reinforcement in midfield. It's almost like hoping on a prayer Odegaard doesn't get injured smh
@@VB_29wot? He was our best player uncle Partey …. He has been playing well to be honest … everyone else was shocking
If Nwaneri played more we wouldn’t be saying this
Trossard is a winger, Havertz needs players close to him, we should have re-integrated KT as a backup for Calafiori to get Martinelli more centrally and we have noone making third man runs.
There is no way someone mentioned Tierney in 2024. no fucking way, move on man that guy is useless
Good side of Gyokores is he isn't out n out No.9. he creates, he dribbles, has pace. He is the key man who is at his prime
Arsenal don’t play with an out and out 9
@@jivet3919 well they may need to as it’s not working , last season covered up the cracks first half of the season we kept missing chances
Martinelli nor Trossard is a good enough LW for a starting 11 looking to beat city to the prem. Totally relying on Ødegaard and not getting / getting rid of back up for him was criminal.
The issue for us is the midfield and our lack of attacking creativity. Also, against Newcastle, we did not steal many balls in their defensive third and catch their defense backpedaling, where as we normally do that a lot and when we do it creates opportunities.
I am a supporter of arteta and 1 thing I learned with the Newcastle match,we were not good enough.
Many asked for a striker in the summer and were ignored completely .needed in the next Windows striker, creative midfielder, left wing. I don't think the Premier League is out of reach if we buy in the January transfer window. If not ,it's down to the manager and board.
This is bound to happen in all teams… we need a player who can take responsibility alone, go forward and score!
Martinelli has little output after running down the line
Get me kudus 😢
As much as this falls down a lack of incisive line breaking passing. It not like we had chances. As barren as they come Saka can make them, but has no focal point in the box to aim to. Our inability to cross from and in swing and get a player around the 6-yard box is terrifying. We need a striker that has the instinct to roam in the box and cause havoc. It can even create runs in behind creating space for late runs for like oddegard and rice partey etc. We also just need someone who doesn’t need 3 or 4 chances like havertz, but someone who will score the first or at least the second
Bhavss. Football has turned around back. Arsenal needs a classic number 9. Sometimes games are slow or ugly , and all they need is a poacher to change it.This are games Eddie can impact if he's on his A game
Why do we never try swapping wingers round in play, not saying it's the answer but at least worth trying in a game like yesterday?
11:19 Are you sure? Liverpool and man city are going to make you eat your words!
Arsenal are not going to achieve 90+ points, but both Man City and Liverpool are on course to achieve that!!!
As a Newcastle supporter, I found this a very inciteful, reasoned and more importantly calm analysis. I like his format and presentation. More power and success for the future of your channel mate. Keep the faith gooners !!!
Thank you
In this game in particular...we were crying out for 1) A dynamic > explosive left winger 2) A quality creative midfielder able to dribble through opposing defenders 3) A killer striker >> match winner!!
If we hope to win something Major this season, and finish no worse than 3rd in The League, then we MUST GO ALL OUT FOR Gyokeres in January for starters!!!
There is so much talk about buying an out-and-out striker but if he doesn't get given the ball, he won't score. We are just not creating very much this season. Bournemouth (1 shot on target out of 6 attempts); Liverpool (3 shots on target out of 9 attempts). Even the PNE game was not a convincing victory, despite the scoreline against a Championship side (10 shots on target out of 18 attempts). And the same against Shaky Donuts (1 shot on target out of 9 attempts). It's a fear of shooting and then not even being able to find the target, let alone score. A fear of shooting and then not even being able to find the target, let alone score. We cannot seem to even get corners at the moment. Contrast all this with the Leicester game only a month ago: (16 shots on target out of 35 attempts with 17 corners).
This is just a blip but it needs sorting ASAP. Everyone talks about Citeh but Liverpool cannot be ignored nor can them from the Lane [or wherever they're playing these days].
ARSENAL need a clinical and ultimate striker like VIKTOR GYÖKERES to win tittles, Harvertz is a joke of a striker ☹️☹️
It’s over. Only a miraculous comeback can give us the title. A cup win and a top 4 could be the max this team can achieve. Unless and until we act aggressively in the market, we can’t win the title. We are just adding good players to the squad, but what we actually need are great players
He loaned veira out. When he was playing for Arsenal, what brought flare to the team. Midfielders win games get 3 midfielders
Let’s get a proper striker 😩 we’re weak up front
Gyo 👀
Havertz can’t even do a simple stepover. He is not a possession loving player (too direct).
He can’t tiki taka pass. He can’t drop deep and create, playing through pass like a Spanish number 10. Can’t do tricks or skill moves. His touches/close control are not silky/tekky. He is not a technical baller.
Jesus and Trossard are Arsenal’s Firmino. They are the perfect false 9. But Arteta just won’t play them as their sole false 9.
Arsenal need to replace Havertz with Amine Gouiri, Gabriel Vidovic or Victor Roque. They need a small technical skillful creative false 9.
This is Arsenal current best eleven but Arteta just won’t play this.
Sterling Jesus Trossard
Jorginho Merino/Partey Odegaard
Zinchenko Calafiori Saliba Timber
Raya
@@Bhavss14 Was telling a friend of mine that seems like Gyo isn't tall enough for Arteta ball 😅😅😅 He wants Sesko, despite not being in the same Gyo league.
@@thierryhenry674simple we need a striker and a winger too
@@thierryhenry674read what you wrote again do you think you are making sense at all 😂😂
There's no playmaker. We sacrifice the entire team for Odegaard solely. We should keep Veira and/or ESR for this role and adapt to more style than just O8. And we so fvckin confident with our forward fgs, we need the likes of Gyokeres/Sesko.
We need to seriously work on our counter attack game. Raya constantly slows things down and our build up almost waits for the opponent to get into position
It's funny how Arsenal fans rushed to kick out Thomas Partey when Mikel Merino was coming 😂😂😂😂
Arsenal is finished this season if they do away with Thomas Partey in the midfield
Merino was brought into do the stuff Xhaka did last 2 seasons at Arsenal.
Partey offer different quality
we cannot catch a break we will face tough teams in the next two games
Kudus and a clinical striker is required asap
The truth is there some players that are good playing as a sub by doing that they would read the game very well before coming in, Trossard is that type of player but he wants to play 90 minutes and that is really affecting him seriously
We are now effectively fighting for 3rd position this season. The juggernaut ManC are, they will definitely be back in the fight for the league championship against Liverpool. The matches we have already lost are a massive blow for our chances to win the league.
We desperately need a clinical striker who gives us goals after goals from even the half chances we create. As much as we all love Kai, we Can not rely on him being a goal scoring striker upfront.
We need some like Joao Pedro who has the technical ability and link up play centrally. I've been saying it for a long time now. Even with Oodegard we struggle with that sometimes.
sad that MA isnt really good at attacking. we only need a top no. 9 in Gyokeres, and Kudus for the left wing, then recall Viera..Sorted!
I feel that we had to change the formation to a 4-4-2 we needed to overload the midfield because we lost the midfield battles and duels;we needed to put Jesus and Kai upfront we needed height and pace;midfield we needed Partey and Rice ;no Trossard and Merino were needed in the second half;we needed Nwaneri to play on the wing and drift in the midfield at times with Saka
I think the one shot on target thing tells a lot!! Its a no Brainer..
we cant compare ourselves with city. we have to change things up a bit. arteta needs to learn it by now. pissed off man
The problem is the other teams have strengthened by adding better players or better managers but did not same old dusty first team players in which quite a few of them needed to upgraded upon
11:12 What 6 points? It's 7 points clear of Arsenal not 6!
TROSSARD is not a starter player yet!! he is more effective as a super sub. we prove this 10x already, and still. 🤷🏾♂️
Nice show Bahvs!
Firstly! Have to give Newcastle total respect! Had a game plan and implemented it perfectly! As for Arsenal?! Shambolic! Worst game I’ve seen Arsenal play this season ! Gutless !
All below a 5! Trossard and matinelli were a 3!
Is the league over?!
A little early but these performances have to stop!!
On the creativity!
Disturbingly missing! The players in midfield really need to up their game! Are they capable of? Not so sure! Really not buying into the lack of a striker! BUT! Playing Havertz out of position doesn’t help along with Martinelli Trossard right now needing dropping allowing some fresh blood to get a chance! Jesus !!! Don’t know what’s going on with him! Sterling is showing signs . The dynamics of this team needs some serious adjustment! The spine is all over the place! The Newcastle and Bournemouth games have shown some major holes that have to be filled! NOW!
Blame game has to go to both team and manager! Seems it’s not a happy camp right now! Body language suggests that!
Am not a subscriber of your channel but your videos always speak facts 😹😹😹
We need that trip to Dubai expeditiously!😂
Yeah man last season when we did so we came back stronger like never before 😂😂
Liverpool concerns me more than City. We still have to play at Anfield! We also have to go to Chelsea, Forest and Fulham!
Seems Madrid's rumoured moves for Salibro has effected his form.
I thought/hoped Arteta had learned the hard way, never to drop Havertz into mid.
We are watching the ball bounce around in every area of the pitch, instead of being assertive and controlling the ball. Kai has started doing a Kane when the ball is in the area instead of trying to use his height advantage to win for others to pick up the second ball.
The most disappointing thing was the lack of urgency and fight. Where is our aggression? No point being gentle giants.
Trossard & Havertz are squad depth.
Arteta needs to trust Kivor as he did last season.
Dude the last time arsenal lost back to back games was in 2022. The perception of losing back to back games is an old trauma we can’t seem to get over
The team has been lacking from the start.The slow way we play is a major factor.When we play with a faster tempo we flow as a team.Something is wrong at the club and needs fixing asap because that game yesterday was a disgrace
Ben White has been central to the teams link-up play with Odegard and Saka...Our best success came with him on the field. Party is arguably our best passer and distributor in midfield. I don't think it was broken, so why shift Partey and benched White. Trossard has proven to be quite a Super Sub and so there is no need to reward him by forcing him to play full time at the expense of the team.. All is not lost and the Gunners will rebound
Semenyo , issak and Bruno would be good additions
Ngl, we can play like this even with Odegaard. We have to be more resilient with adjusting ourselves to more favorable game and kill the moments
Mikel was always too light in midfield, and it shows on the creative side. We can't unlock defences coz we don't have the players who can play through the centre. AFC should've made large offers for a Musiala/Wirtz type player.
It's like we don't want to be predictable so we are trying new tactics instead of sticking with what works. Trossard has been starting more ever since he refused to celebrate a goal at the start of the season, I want to see Arteta get angry again and wake these players up
I will say Arteta killed the game, starting our best inform midfielder at RB when B.White is fully fit. Rice & T. Partey should always start our EPL midfield games if both are fit. M. Merino is a good addition to the midfield but not yet clicked into the squad. Ample of examples why am sure M.Arteta killed the game.
Newcastle were actually impressive it felt like they were 13 men
Not really
Yes, they out played arsenal and were impressive in defence.
5 man wall in the midfield and constant fouling stopped any flow to the game. They were decent but 2 points dropped for Arsenal
Last season we lost 5.games in total and pushed city all the way. There's a lot of football still to play. Our dodgy run was over Christmas last season, it happens but we can't afford mich more. Get it sorted boys...
I dont think i remember nobody but Rice actually dribbling past somebody the whole game
there was zero energy, that match just felt off
Players were just standing around, ball watching. And Newcastle parked 5 men in a wall in the midfield and Arsenal just had no movement to break lines.-Weird game
I have been saying this since the beginning of the season that Arsenal attacking line is average and the midfielder need strong skillful player like Kudos in January or Arsenal will end 4th position this season instead of winning it because Manchester city isn't good this season like last season Arsenal should be taking advantage of that instead Arsenal is weaker, because of bad transfer market of Arteta and Edu in the right places Arsenal isn't strong enough, i expect Arteta to address the weakness of last season which is the attacking position, midfielder, one central defender who can play anywhere in defence and left back from premier league instead Arteta, Edu and Arsenal boards wasted the whole transfer market chasing Merino and Calafori he should have bring very early in pre season to adapt with the team. Arsenal will celebrate am proud of my boys at the end of the season as usual, we have been keeping faithless faith for more than 20 years and have been trusting the progress for 5 years now no premier league, no cup only once by mistake because of the quality striker then, or champions league
There's no central progression. A number 9 doesn't fix that
The most sensible comment on here bro, this is so right………I was really disappointed we didn’t get another technical deep line playmaker, it’s what we needed
I believe our problem is our tactics. We are way too defensive minded which is why we are struggling offensively. We need to be more proactive, believe and dominant games instead of allowing teams to play their game.
Arsenal need Jorginho as our attacking mid for next game, drop Merino
I feel like we need Semenyo, the guy destroyed Man City, the couldn't live with him.
Trossard is not at the level for a first team starter. He’s an impact player. We need reinforcements in Jan. I’m not sure why everyone’s surprised. We just come out the other end of a summer window having made a profit and a team which is weaker. It’s Edu/ownership we need to look at, not so much Arteta.
We need big plays. We need an aggressive striker..
I have learnt a while ago that teta is only going in polishing Pep's shoes at the Etihad
Broooo we just spineless at this moment like turtle charge is over , we did not pass one ball over the top to run in behind
Man Martinelli and Trossard would be useful substitutes … we need to focus on attackers next season , Trossard is awful as starter, Martinelli not much better…Havertz is not your pure nine I don’t think … that should be addressed as well …
Arteta has reached his peak with Arsenal, he cannot take Arsenal any further. We need attacking players as the ones we have are too predictable. We need someone with creative spark and finishing
Support another team. Pep has been at Eufalona nearly ten, farmers munich about 3 and nearly ten now with man cheaties...Arteta is just starting.
You cry and support another club now pal
Rafa leao is an obvious upgrade on Martinelli .Deal doable .Eze would have been an adequate alternative to Odegaard. Gyokeres/ Toney /Isak better strikes than both Havertz & Jesus. If we can waste £105 on a dm like Rice surely £75 - £100m on a proven striker is a better investment.
Waste on D Rice. Man gtfo.
Also, comparison wise, Gyokeres was coventry city player and no one knows how good he be at PL.
Havertz is different type of skillet player to jesus anyhow.
You just naming names.
Arteta has played many pro games and managed many pro games, yet by naming players makes you manager of the decade! 😂
Trossard has been poor all season, why are people only noticing it now. we needed a striker in the summer and the MANAGEMENT felt otherwise, now we are toast when it comes to the title race.
I DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF PARTEY IN DEFENSE TAKE THE RISK YOU MUST NOT ALWAYS PLAY A 4 DEFENSE SACRIFICE THEM AND BRING PARTEY BACK TO HIS POSITION HE HAS A WAY TO BRING CALM THE BALANCE AND IS STRONG IN THE MIDFIELD NOW I SEE THAT WE MISS A CREATIVITY PARTEY HAS BEEN DOING LOTS OF JOB IN THE MIDFIELD BUT WE DID NOT KNOW.
We keep learning until we become trophyless. Arsenal should focus on emirates cup and carabao cup. This team cannot compete with mancity.
We need victor Gyokores in the winter transfer windows
