Firmino also needs to be on this list. People laugh at the concept of 'defensive striker', but in Gegenpressing which demands the team to win the ball back as high as possible, Firmino is possibly the best CF that you could have.

It also makes opposing teams predictable. They all toss the ball into the channel/behind Trent or try to get their winger 1v1 with him. Robbo is having a nice time not getting targetted (as much as I love him, he's not a defence-first FB either).

One of the solutions to the Trent issue, from the England team perspective, is to play him either out of position as a defensive midfielder or (less likely) as an inverted right back. He's spoken about trying midfield for England before, and that he probably prefers that position when playing internationally, at least. In fact in call-up team sheets he is more often referred to as a midfielder than a defender. That being said, he has played both roles for England so his versatility as a Euro squad choice can't really be overstated.

Wow. Well done. One of the best analyses I've watched and listened to. I'm an Arsenal fan and it's a club culture for our strikers to be involved in the build up play and should be ready to change position inside a game: Kanu, Anelka, Reyes, Henry, Walcott, Van Persie, Giroud, Babtista, Carlos Vela etc. The list is plenty actually. But what those players/strikers listed above had that time were midfielders, whether attacking or defensive (Gilberto, Edu, Arteta, Vieira, Rosicky, Dennis Bergkamp (he was in midfield before he was moved forward to partner Thierry Henry) who were actively scoring goals. To illustrate it better. Henry was not replaced immediately after his transfer to Barca and Arsenals' input of goals didn't dropped significantly. Same with Van Versie's departure (Giroud and Podolski didn't hit the ground running immediately, But Arsenal never lack goals. Our issue has always been defence. Arsenal is getting there. That's how I rate my manager: Arteta. All his players are scoring goals. That's a threat to other teams. Thank you for the upload 🙏🏾

@allyourpiesarebelongtous 2 ай бұрын

One could equally argue the problem is the lack of goals. I.e., Arsenal don't score enough goals to compensate for the defence. Games are won by goal difference. Attack and defence are not more important than each other, beyond saying you can't win without scoring at least once. In the 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22 seasons, Arsenal scored 56-61 goals in the league. Was the problem the defence? Same deal for 1992/3 and the following three seasons. OK in 1994/95 the problem was also the defence.

I understand Jesus's link up play is excellent, but his finishing is so poor that it's a case of the ends not justifying the means. At City, Pep played midfielders, wingers and even Zinchenko up front ahead of Jesus despite him being the only recognised striker in the squad, before he was deemed surplus to requirements and sold. At Arsenal last season, the team's record with Jesus was 2 points per game while their record without him was 2.06. What makes this worse is that in those games without him, Arsenal were playing Nketiah, a bang average striker, and actually had a better record. The man simply isn't good enough to start for a top team.

Ouch. That's good info right there, and an extremely compelling argument by using Nketiah as the comparison. Being that after the Fulham game I've essentially given up on Nketiah, this is all the more reason to stick Havertz up top. I honestly don't know why Arteta is fighting it. The answer is right in front of you Mikel...You have a BFG on the squad that's a freaking perfect answer for the position. His finishing won't be any worse than Jesus, and considering all Saka and Martinelli are doing is crossing it in...to 5 foot nothing Jesus.... Ugh. Mikel. Put the square piece in the square hole. It's not that hard.

If you don’t like Jesus you don’t like Firmino either. The difference between the two is that Liverpool has a better attacking dynamics than Arsenal current has, with more creative output (Robert and Trent) and prolific wingers. Arsenal doesn’t have any of these. In fact their dynamic is poor between the wingers and the 8s, which is why they are not scoring. Pointing finger at Jesus is asking the wrong question, and it has nothing to do with whether he can play in a top team or not, because he certainly can.

Trent is actually a winger converted RB, so his defensive weakness is glaring and unabating. Liverpool played well when he was down injured without the over excited long balls. If Bradley continues to develop the way he's going, then I fear for Trent esp when Klopp leaves. I don't see him benching Szobo, Endo, Jones or Allister

Grealish would be one. Where his ball retention is world class, but his pace, 1-on-1 and goal threat is not great. Integral part of City's most successful season ever. Game management last season was incredible. This season the game management has decreased as Grealish was replaced by Doku mainly because De Bruyne was out, so the goal threat significantly decreased, demanding Doku's skills as a master of isolation play. Also I know many people like watching Foden in the middle as do I, because he is so impactful, but honestly he was better on the wing where he is not so much of a liabilty in giving givng a transition to the opponent. Only De Bruyne can play so aggressively in the midfield without allowing a dangerous transition, cos he will operate mostly close to the wing (as a Mezzala) which is less dangerous than operating aggressively in the middle - he can only do this because of his superior crossing ability, whilst Foden can't cross as well

Trent isn't the best defensively but surely he is taking small steps to improving that area of his game the ball of Mitoma cleared away at brighton even at Newcastle. Just feel like Klopp needs to grow him into being a RB so that he's good both in offence and defence

@LoCoAde87 4 ай бұрын

It's more tactics that leave him vulnerable. Even someone perpecieved as good defensively like Reece James for years (only a myth, he can do it as a RWB, RB he has been exposed a good amount) would be incredibly vulnerable given Trent's role.

@lordtea I think you misread me. There is levels to Trent and Reece. Trent has always been better. Reece is protected by largely negative to balanced at most managers who play CBs alongside Reece, a DM, and arguably two almost DMs. Trent is the system. And with Fabinho and Henderson aging, fatigue from long seasons and getting COVID on top of Klopp wanting him to progress the play is why Trent has been exposed at times. Walker (doesn't get criticised for his huge lack of attacking output), White last season, etc can afford to sit back as they aren't focal points either. Marcelo wasn't a good defender, but no one ever talked about it once he established himself with trophies. Trent is the standard and there are a lot of people with Liverpool derrangement syndrome who can't use logic to discuss them.

About Ederson, he is a great GK but one thing that u have to considerate is when u play in a team with top-tier CBs, the GK tends to do less saves but they usually are harder because of the level of the shoot, crosses, and passes has to be almost perfect to get into the defense

@zidnyzidan 4 ай бұрын

You stated that stats could be misleading yet contradict yourself by "making" stats to prove your point. What we can take is that you need to watch the full game to fully analyze the performance of the player.
