This is the best arsenal analysis of the 2022/23 season that I have ever seen, please keep up the good work, an in depth analysis of Declan Rices 2022/23 season would be awesome once he joins arsenal. It would get a lot of views i think.

@craigflixchill 9 ай бұрын

I thought that Kiwior actually was a much better option that Holding at the end of the season. He was much more assured at the back and you can see how much Arteta values him already in pre-season.

Really 2011, I am tricked into supporting Arsenal by Wenger and Henry. In fact I took a break from watching any football in 2012 because I had frustrated enough. Now is the time to be an Arsenal time I wonder what was going on in 2011 lol.

@jonathanward1585 6 ай бұрын

I wish I was a fan during the invinciblies but I didn’t get into EPL until 2011 during that time I watch whichever to whatever game on the television but. Soon shortly after I found myself drawn to the club and decided this is my club. The passion, the love of the club, and the style/ quality of play. Now I could have been a glory hunter fan and support mancity But I feel like there are more than just money and trophies. I love Arsenal and wish them all kinds of success but there’s more to it than silverware.

Thank you. This was brilliant. I see Ramsdale as an insane keeper for his age and I think he'll get better but I always used to wonder. On so many of his dives I'd also be like I swear bro was mad delayed in his diving and I could never figure out why he was looking so delayed. He'd still pull off some insane saves but sometimes he'd be quite far from reaching the ball which isn't even directly in the corner of the goal. But you explained it brilliantly thank you. It makes sense now. I think he needs to be told to close his legs a bit😂

@kazielbonn 10 ай бұрын

[Freeze Frame] "It certainly looks weird". Thanks, now I can't unsee it. On a serious note, I used to do this when taking set-pieces and shots in general as for some reason this technique causes the body shape to generate just the right amount of lift, curve and accuracy. So lean back, hunch over and look away all at almost the same time. I think I got that from watching Del Piero, Giggs and a few others back in the late 90's.

@HoldingMidfield 10 ай бұрын

You were completely right to do it at attacking set-pieces as you want the ball to stay relatively low. It's just for long goal kicks where you're ideally getting lots of height on the ball so it carries above the first lines, you should really be leaning back as it allows your leg to swing higher. Like I said though, Ramsdale seems to be able to get that height even when he's hunched over so it doesn't really matter - just looks funny as an observer.

I think he should be a better player but was worse in how he fit in with Arsenal's style of defending. He's only had 7 games and this is only his second season at a high level though so it's hardly surprising. Holding's basically at his peak and a big downgrade on the starters, whereas Kiwior's also a big downgrade currently but has plenty of room to develop.
