I dont think you realise how much I have been waiting for your video. There are so many reactionary videos out there and not enough level-headed analysis

You’re quickly becoming my favorite Arsenal creator on the platform. Keep up the great work

Arsenal fans ready? No, we're not. Our fanbase turns on the team even when we win. The team needs to deliver silverware, but I believe Arteta has earned our trust. P.S. some of our fans think Emery would've won a League title already... that alone says it all

I think it reminds me of 2021 Arsenal. The attack is just barely too slow and predictable to cause many well organized real trouble. What I also think City does so well, is that City manages to play really differently when they are chasing. If they go down early in the game, City will completely change their style of play to chase. Arsenal does not show the same urgency and change of pace once the games turns against us.

One of the reasons Arsenal is struggling is the absence of Thomas Partey in the midfield. He brings calm and guile and he also combines excellently with Odegaard. Also, we miss Granit Xhaka in the Midfield. The partnership between our 3 midfield last season was superb.

It's one thing to play attractive offensive football and not winning the title. It's a whole different thing playing boring football and not winning the title. Arteta is under pressure, not from the board, but from the fans.

If you ask me, last year we came up with something unexpected, the inverted left-back. This gave a a huge advantage in the first half of the season. Now, it's well-known. The opponents double the wingers which mostly don't get the support by an overlapping from teammates. So, all they can do is going for a cross. The middle pack is super jammed and so no goal results. There are two things Arsenal should stress more. Firstly, the support of the wingers by the roaming 8s which opens more opportunities for these situations, like getting down to the base line for a cross, pushing inside the box for a shot or put down a clever pass to a teammate from short before the box for a long shoot. Secondly, I think we could raise our overal predictability by not inverting every situation. Leave the full-backs out wide more often to give the required overlapps to the wingers and give the roaming 8s freedom for something creative. And lastly, I thing Jesus should capture his position more persistently to be an prepetual, latent threat to the opponents as a option on the very top to whom you can play and he eighter turns or drops you the ball. I totally thing we are good enough and it maybe just requires some tweaks to bring us back to our very best performances.

Very well said! Are we as fans ready to support our Team for a title charge in the 2nd half?

As a proper Arsenal fan and football fan i can honestly say ive stopped looking at comments that alot of Arsenal fans post. Theyre way too reactionary, Kai Havertz scores 3 games in a row, hes the best, he flops the game after suspension, same old havertz. Like hes even played for half a season lol. I hear Arteta out even, its hilarious

We love our Gaffer mikel arteta❤

your statistic and non biast analysis seriouslly needs looking at by the club bro..i am pro different knock..i like bavs14 too but the different knock is..different gravy bro❤please keep bumpin your chanell

You are the king of KZfaq pausa 🤝🏿

I think you, Charles watts, arseblog and ornstein are the only ones I listen to on arsenal. Sensible yet with emotion

He's been in charge long enough mate time to start winning

I absolutely love that intro 😂😂😂😂😂

As usual the truth lies between the extremes of passion . We learned from the wenger years that the polarisation of fans is hardly believable. Arteta is a good manager but riddled with simplistic flaws . A genius that misses the obvious at times. Arteta needs an assistant to add the common sense to his faraway ideas. Take inverted full backs and the goalkeeping ethos… just counter productive and guys with logic would tell you that in a flash. But arteta is the Michelangelo painting the detail on the wall that will be hidden behind a curtain.. it will have no effect . We need to get back to basics .. play with a greater speed and make safe that left back position.

That wonderful opportunity of a champions league game we could have given Walter’s and nwaneri a little trial I bet stings now. Love arteta, but boy can he be stubborn

👏👏👏 Agree!!! Big hug from Chile... You are the best arsenal, and football Channel... I will support from this week... We got great gigs so... Let's do it Andres

I think a good solution would be a 3-5-2 to see us into February. If we only have 4 centerbacks, with only one of them really comfortable stepping into CM (White), then it would be a reasonable stopgap, and would still allow us to play with a 3-2-5 in settled offensive possession. I would look to play: Havertz - Jesus Trossard - Smith Rowe - Rice - Ødegaard - Saka Gabriel - Saliba - White The caveat being that Tierney would make more sense as a LWB but at least Trossard knows this role from Brighton. And it allows Havertz to play that shadow striker or help form the box in midfield. Also, it still allows for constant rotations as the left and right hand side will have those relationships.

loosen the shackles. that's what I feel too. It's to controlled and predictable and not fast enough at the moment

yessssssss finallly TDK releases a video! Apart from Mr. Charles Watts, i (sadly) have not bothered with any other youtubers because im sick of the reactionary kneejerk doom and gloom takes. Thank you

I think it won't be harsh if Arteta don't win anything this season too if Arsenal let his contract run out or sack him

Get this man to 100k

Keep it up bro love your shows

Been patiently waiting for your body mate. Good to see you again. 😊

I agree with most of your thoughts, but I believe all our problems are remedied by a healthier squad and a new striker in Jan.

Thank you for putting my hissy fit into perspective

Are we as fans ready mate…. The banter eras have been soul destroying. I think we are beyond ready and fucking deserve it

I will be honest, I hope they don't sell, as he's a viable competitpr for both Saka and Martinelli. A midfielder is something I would say we go for, not a striker, because we have someone who offers something different up front in the form of havertz. I would say we get a CDM to allow Declan to take on the Xhaka role because he seemed very solid in that role if you ask me. Also for Christsake can we sell Jorginho.

Been waiting

Damn bro, felt personally called out by your closing question

That last sentence had me thinking for a couple of minutes. 👌🏻

A very good video after quite some time

We missing Granit Xakas leadership. He was the glue. 😢

I feel like Cedric gets such a bad wrap from fans. For a free transfer I think he's been a good bit of business, and has certainly provided more in his Arsenal career so far than Kiwior (which I do hope changes in the near future). Basically can we stop making him the butt of all jokes.

The last point is the realest thing anyone has said on this platform. As evidenced by some of the more vocal nob-cheeses in our fan base, no we aren’t.

“Are we as fans ready” is the true question

Welcome back to a different mustache. Nice man 👏

We are stale , the attack needs refreshing , ESR needs to come in for martinelli or better yet odegaard for a couple games , maybe try martinelli up top ? We have been playing the same players WAY too much

A cb and front 3 to play more central, but sill i cant ignor how much the resorces have been wasted eg 170m on rice and kia

I think we're playing with "handbrake" on. Scared of being scored against. Scared of making mistakes. This makes the players tense and lack freedom, in my opinion. The fact that some players, like Emile, Elnany, and a few others, are still at the club, they should play more or sold, if possible.

This title better be taking the piss,Arteta has got the tactics, the system and man management completely wrong this season.

Bring back the knock ✊

Make more videos please!!

People thought that draw against liverpool was a good result even though we played like crap. I knew we were going to lose to westham looking like that. Fulham was unexpected tho..

there is nothing wrong with the tactic. numbers dont lie, the prolem is the pace when the ball is on M11 and J9. M11: rarely head-up to find teammates, lack of quick pass and the pass accuracy is absolutely terrible. J9: always drop deep, holds the ball for too long, also the pass is lack of accuracy and speed, in fact, the output of M11 is far from T19. imo, these 2 brazillian strikers are not suitable for possesion offend, they’re better if we already lead and play counter offend. also, if we look closer, there might be a question of united amostphere in the dressing room when Garbiel got angry with Rice and M11 snubbed the handshake from ESR. I personally think Mikel need to start Nelson and ESR more. M11 and J9 need to be on the bench to watch how the team run smooth without them.

I miss Viera's directness.

For real, so many fans turning on the team after a poor run for a few weeks. Not ready to push the tean forward clearly

Hello. Just checking in from the future. How are Arsenal doing now 😊

I'm not stressed at all. I think everything is great. But, I agree many Arsenal fans pretty weak. I remember one of Leeds game. Leeds loosing about 0:3 or something. But all stadium support their team and rotate their scarfs without stops... And than I thought: "yeah, it's really fans and real support..."

Transfer Videos? YES! 🍿

Think Arteta's approach to defense was the wrong move, think about it. Arteta studied for 3 years under Pep in his positional play system, it's not like he studied under Mourinho who managed to concede 15 goals in a season with Chelsea, he lacks experience with defensive organisation which is evident with the previous seasons and our home clean sheets record. Arteta should just scrap the whole defensive approach, its impossible for a team to concede 0 a season thanks to lucky moments of refereeing decisions, he should be focusing on what brought him close to the title last year, free flowing attacking play.

Time Time Time ...... We Need. It nooooooow 😅😅

The gaffer knows better. That's it. If not we trust him to fix it

I think Arsenal have some of the players to become the best team in the world… if we play a different formation. I know Saka is amazing at RW, but I think he could become the best LWB ever in the world if we played him there. I would like to bring in Amadou Onana, Morata, a CB and maybe bring Tierney back as cover for Saka on LWB.

You are the same dude that said Kiwior was world class in hiding or that Martinelli would be unlock this season but the better one, Arteta, the guy that never won anything of noticie, was at the same level as Klopp, the guy that beat Bayern and City to the league and reached four Champions League finals.

We need Partey's long shots. Rice is incredible but utilizing his offensive prowess means we need Partey. Again last season we were rotating our midfield more. Remember Jorginho, Vierra. Until such a time that Rice and Odergard become more compatible we need to rotate more for unpredictability.

It's been very discouraging trying to engage with our fans online. I get we're not seeing the results we want but what would we have them do? The Club has picked a solid manager and backed him financially. He's made it a place where young players want to come and play quality football. We signed skilled/expensive players in the off-season to address our gaps and sure, we've flubbed some games but it's not like there are 30 goal-scorers just sitting around

The first fifteen seconds was how he actually feels. 😂

I'm ashamed of all the arsenal fans that just gave up completely after just 2 bad games

The team is letting us down. The same team played against brighton and what pace and intensity which is completely the opposite in west ham and fulham games

Everyone pointing out zinchenko doesn't realise from where arsenal is getting the creativity. Rice passes sideways, Odegaard is dropping deep and Harvertz only makes simple passes. So it's just pass it to saka and hope for the best. Arsenal needed a number 8 and Arteta brought in Havertz. Someone like Gallagher would have been great for Arsenal.

Arteta❤❤❤

Do you think zubimendi is ideal partey replacement if we get him this window

We have literally 0 half-space third man run, ever, this season. Fix just this one issue and we'll look alot more dangerous in the final third.

I partly blame the arsenal ticket ballot system the atmosphere at the emirates isn’t the same as last season

20 YEARS MAN. 20 WHOLE YEARS WE BEEN WAITING. That's the biggest hurdle this regime has now, fans have no patience and it's absolutely justified

Would like to see a video on an academy players. You said we’re couple injuries away from Cedric, but why not take a punt on Walters (only 6 months of contract also) or Sousa at fullback? I always think the “Arsenal is too good now for academy players to even play” is a false statement. Other top teams seem no problem giving them minutes.

Arteta should ask Wenger to come in for some attacking training

I’m really not worried. These same fans who call for the players to have “Mentality” are the same ones who can’t even mentally cope with a bad patch.

The manager is the problem. 1.letting xhaka leave 2.removing the box to box role 3.introducing midfield/second striker hybrid role into the team. 4.signing Havertz 5.signing the inferior Raya and dropping ramsdale. 6.not rotating and utilising the fringe players. 7.changing the powerful, free flowing and unpredictable play from last year. 8.changing the tactics to this turgid, boring, pre-rehearsed routing phase style of football.

i know it sounds mad but its almost 100 percent mental the players u mentioned plus saka just arent kept fresh enough,its been proven more and more scientifically that the way they have to get up for a game and then the huge adrenaline dump afterwards just cant continue at the rate of 2 or 3 times a week,being fresh mentally gives u that extra 5 percent in quick decision making etc and thats whats wrong with arsenal,they just cant rotate like pep at city to keep players mentally fresh,its so obvious in saka's drop off,just to many games for club and country in the last 3 years,if he was fresh and firing i think the whole arsenal thing would be seen differently,the margins are just so fine

And Tomi is off to the Asian Cup for up too 6 weeks! At the very least Tierney needs to be Recalled

finally

Why not move saka to left and martinelini to the right on their natural position and get a decent number 9

The thing is, we’re now too predictable. Only the same people score for us ‘when we actually create chances’. Arteta needs to understand that the other teams will always create chances against us, doesn’t matter how amazing our defense is. Take a look at Madrid. Their policy is and has always been, you can score against us but we’ll equalize and even score a few more goals just for the fun of it. We cannot be too predictable when attacking. Being diverse is how you win games that you shouldn’t even be winning. Plus we have so many players who excel when they’re let loose every now and then and we’ll definitely benefit from a little flair when attacking. For example, it’s okay to let someone like Saliba drive into the midfield with the ball every now and then. There are so many ways to improve our gameplay and I’m sure Arteta will figure it out. I don’t exactly think we need a striker however. I think we just need better backups for Saka and Martinelli that Arteta actually trusts enough to play.

"kill Gunnersaurus" 🤣🤣🤣

Our squad is no where near good enough, that isn’t reactionary, that’s fact

Intro 💀💀💀💀💀

Cedric 😂

How muchhhhh!!!??? We need to ein something before these players start losing interest

One thing. Just one thing Arteta needs to change before becoming a great manager. That is to abandon his stubborness. He is too stubborn and refuses to change when it is obviously not working.

what you said is all about Coaching so you mean Artetaot if he cant fix problems

We've gone from 20 years of banter era and suffering, the best manager with the best chance of achieving something in literally 20 years and you all cry out that the ship is sinking. Ffs people, it's not hard to sit back and relax. We are suffering in terms of end product, if timber was our left back, we would be scoring more goals, we're too defensive bc zinnys weaknesses

Thing is… I’m a massive Arsenal fan but from the start of the season you could tell it would be the year, been boring to watch and you can call it control but when you excite the fans that pushes you to new heights, i.e last year, or Liverpool. Feel good factor is gone, last season was such a missed chance and Arteta screwed it by playing Holding. This season again bottled it already is what it is and let’s hope for the CL… lol

stubborn arteta has been given a lot of time by the board, now if he doesnt sign any striker this transfer window, im so done with him

I say this, we have unironically the worst fanbase in the premier league. The least realistic, the most all over the place emotionally, the most vitriolic. We got good at making fun of ourselves only for a little bit and it disappeared last year so that small self-awareness we'd grown from the banter days is totally gone. If you go on and watch any YT football content, which I unfortunately catch a lot of, the absolutely miniscule amount of ball knowledge from the people involved with Arsenal is so apparent. And that's to say nothing of blatant anti-fans like Lee Gunner who get a lot of traffic because we can't help ourselves and engage in as much negativity as we can. It's ridiculous. After the Fulham game I decided to take a break from football content for three days and reset a bit. To take a deep breath. This manager and this team have earned the right to figure things out. We were so good. We've been so good in games even this year. The Brighton game recently, I thought we were fucking brilliant. I really do think that we as a fanbase cannot handle pressure at all, and it bleeds into the team and into the manager in big moments. It's something that I think a sports psychologist should look at.

I say Alonso

Come on he had enough time if we dont need a major trophy this season a real consersation about him need to happen almost 5 years, he had enough time!!!

All Hail the Almighty Algorithm 🔥☯️

Stats mean nothing its goals that wins games .. Tony cuenca

Arteta as a manager is similar to what he was as a player. He likes to play it safe without many risks.

If you know why Claude die is due to exhaustion of arsenal plays

Vlahovic is a must, give them Partey and some money, sell Nketiah to fund it and that’s a hole filled, Timber and Tomi change us drastically, there’s still hope going into the second half of the season, we’re within touching distance having not played even close to our level, as long as we can start clicking we’ll be there for the fight

Dude, kill Gunnersaurus? That's harsh.

More time 😂😂 With all the money he's received so far ?? Nah boy

4 minutes in and you explained my problem I have had with this team. I hate how I know and how predictable our team is and it’s even worse because our wingers while good don’t get me wrong don’t have that X factor that players like Leao, Robben, Doku and even to an extent shaktar Mudryk has. That why I was so down for us to spent stupid money on Mudrky last year because we lack that and I think it will propel us to the next year and give us something else. I support Milan as well and the amount of times I have seen Leao flip a game totalling just by his 1v1 ability, pace and unpredictability it is so frustrating watching Saka and Martinelli(great players and they do contribute) doing the same thing again and again hoping that this time it will work and not being brave and trying something else or imaginative. How many times have we seen the same team deploy the same tactic that total stifle and stop us and I keep thinking back to that Everton game from last year as the start of it to an extent. This isn’t the main or only problem but for me this is the problem that frustrates me the most

Excuse me, when you say players are exhausted it comes across like we should make excuses for their performance lately. How many high level teams perform in tough tournaments all season throughout and continue to deliver? Arsenal have flopped mate and if we dont get a striker soon, we wont win any titles.

I honestly think Jesus was good for what experience he brought to the team but not at all worth the 50 mill Arsenal paid for him. He is a bang average finisher, good presser of the ball but that is about it.

Arteta is very arrogant he doesn't want to sell Deadwood's like Cedric lokonga Nelson Elneni Nketia johjinoh and the rest
