"If Saka or White can walk in straight line, they play" 😅
Arteta*gets news that Saka was hit by a bus* Arteta probably: So can I put you down as a 75min sub this weekend 😂😂😂 Nah seriously tho, I worry for those two guys.
Because you have no back ups due to Artetas injury prone signings are unsurprisingly out injured and he doesn't trust the players who he all gave extended contracts to
@@BrianConlon-ng5bw who doesnt Arteta trust again?

The reason ESR won't be sold: we won't find many on the open market with a higher ceiling. If it takes a season or two to bring his intensity level up, it's cheaper than replacing his full potential
Esr already becoming motm, bin viera before esr
@@90AlmostFamous100%. ESR still needs a lot to offer but Viera is done for the timebeing at least.
At the top level teams won’t waste “a season or two”, they’ll sell and replace. I believe Arsenal have actually outgrown him.
ESR has trekkers but he's not a specialist in any role and not a great fit in our system. I think he should be sold to make room for a proper cdm or cm.
Shut it m8
That intro though 😂😂😂😂😂😂 TDK does it different.
wish he brought the knock back
I think Vieira is going through the same that ESR is and what Martinelli went through, long injuries so Arteta is giving them time to fully recover, he absolutely has a future with us and we’ve already seen he can impact games and he’s only going to get better
You may be right but I thought don't forget that players still need game time to be match fit. I can't help thinking the fact that he got zero minutes against Luton speaks volumes.
you’re 100 percent right - think vieira had a growth spurt injury so Mikel wants to manage him to where he’s 100 percent fit and tactically ready so the magician in vieira can be deadly anytime he plays
@@amanred9337 absolutely right but also we are in a run in so he’s not going to be starting him or giving him big minutes in games where he’s not going to be ready, we’ll see a lot more of him next season
@@Danimal13 I personally feel the opposite. It seems that Arsenal are likely to strengthen their midfield in the summer which means we are likely to see some departures. I can only see that either ESR OR Viera will stay and not both. Viera in my opinion needs consistent game time that's why I think a loan option might be good for him. He will not get used to the physical nature of the premier league if he just comes off the bench now again and depending or not if ESR stays it's really difficult for me to see him getting more game time.
@@amanred9337 I think you’re wrong and both with her decent game time in rotation and off the bench but I guess we’ll see need season 👍🏼
Bayern is just Tottenham Pro Max guys relax 😂

Bayern are defensively horrible but their attack is ruthless.....they can outscore you. They are ruthless infront of goal. Arsenal should not be carried away.
Bro no come one yes Bayern are bad this season but there still Bayern
😂😂🤣
I've been saying since the beginning of the season that Vieira is a player fans shouldn't lose hope on. He's had such a horrid run of injuries and badluck. There have been times when he's cone back and played really well, then got injured again. If he can stay fit, he's got the best final ball behind Odegaard, can shoot from outside the box and has great vision. He's dangerous on the attack. We shouldn't forget his quality
Very,very well said...particularly his final ball and shooting range...one of the few weaknesses we have now
You've also been saying since 2020 that this is our season and that fans shouldn't lose hope on. Stick to Aussie Rules chump
You also said at the beginning of 2020 that Arteta's the right man for the job

Trossard haas been brilliant for us, tough on him usually coming off the bench, Brighton game we had a very impressive bench, looking great atm.
I'd prefer Trossard coming off of bench and be that super sub... almost half of the time when he started he just went invisible
@@pclfld8253exactly
"Brighton game we had a very impressive bench" and brought on 5 goals a season Nketiah and 5 games a season Vieria...
I think Vieira has that drive in him...I actually saw it in the brief period before he got sent off... He was demanding the ball and looking for ways to force the issue in a way I hadn't seen before
When did vieira get sent off?!

In our hands now boys. COYG
Are u going to Bayern game tomorrow?
Remember watching one of your old videos where you said Zinchenko would be one of the first players to phased out of the team. Solid take that
Top of the league!!!
Oi Liverpool dropped points? COYG.
If Timber had been fit all season our defence AND offence would have been even better as he is like a mixture of Zinchenko and Tomiyasu. He might not have the passing range of Zinny, but he's a better dribbler and is amazing on the ball with both feet and most importantly; under pressure. I think he is gonna be Joao Cancelo 2.0 being a right footed left back inverting from the left side in attack, except he's a better defender and stronger than Cancelo. Can't wait to see him fully fit in this squad and especially this defence. We have the current best CB pairing in the world and the best defence in the Prem and arguably the world. Imagine if we had Timber at LB the whole season who would bring what Zinny brings and what Tomi brings but in one player, alongside Gabriel, Saliba and White. Now imagine if we had Partey fit for the entire season, meaning Rice could've played and settled into that box to box role even more so than he already has! I can't wait to see a fully fit back 4 next season mixed with some big signings we will definitely make considering the money we've already made from the CL (over £120mill in reward money for qualifying for RO16 + QF) and the fact that even if we go out to Bayern and come 2nd in the league, we have proven that we belong among Europe's elite again which will make world class players want to join. If we manage to win the Prem and get past Bayern (and maybe further) then I can genuinely see us splashing mega money on a world class striker and some top up & coming / world class midfielders. Whatever happens this season, the Summer transfer window and next season are gonna be *exciting* :). What a time to be an Arsenal fan! COYG!
Zinny should be just moved to regular midfield. Already giving anxiety while defending
@@90AlmostFamous nah zinny just has to improve or move. The quality of the team is gradually increasing. We can't keep making excuses for zinny. We now defend with 11 men and attack with 11 men. He needs to step up period. Heck the other day we watched Jesus using his dribbling skills to ease pressure off kiwior. That shows new team mentality. Everyone defends and everyone attacks. And right now zinny gives me more heart attacks than actual attacks.

Thank you!
The progression of this team is absolutely nuts. At the start of last season, Jesus and Zinchenko felt like a real cut above most of our then-current players. They were serial winners coming in from Man City. Could we become close to as good as Man City with these guys? Was Arteta really bringing us into that stratosphere? Amazing! But almost two seasons on and now I'm thinking "Man City? PFFF". Arteta isn't aiming at Man City. His ambition is quite higher than that. Jesus and Zinchenko are now merely good and useful players in this squad. Looking at the age of this team I think Arteta's looking at going places that even Man City hasn't reached. To do doubles and trebles every year.
I think we get into the CL semis. Do we win the CL? I think we don't. Do we win the Prem? It could be written in the stars for us. Wow. What a team and what a season.
Munich aren’t doing well , if we get city then we have beaten them twice already this season, both in normal time and by penalty. Then if we make it to final I think it’s possible.We can bring in tomiyasu to stop guys like mabappe. Athletico Madrid would be toughest as they are Porto but a lot better
"antonys lack of threat" got me 🤣😂🤣
I been saying for a few months now you can see tomyasu and white are working on their passing and we cant see zincheko working on his 1v1 defending
Kwior in the Bayern game, yes.
Meltdown incoming.
Your mom's ^
Love your work Regarding ESR, I think it's obvious we all want to see him do well in the team. Yet, my trust in Arteta is so high that I suspect he might have his reasons to leave him out of the team Unfortunately, I think ESR will have to move on to show the talent he obviously has
Naughty TDK, does it better and nobody does it better than TDK.
According to the way we adapt to different games, Someone please pray for Bayern
The 03/04 Invincible starting XI of Lehmann, Cole, Lauren, Toure, Sol, Silva, PV, Freddie, Pires, DB & Henry started together 3 times the whole PL season.
Still might be the best arsenal creator out there👏 keep killing it bro❤️
Appreciate that ❤️
He was really needed in the Porto game
Great introduction 😂
i think you’re wrong about Vieira, but time will age that well same with the majority on ESR. Mikel loves these players like absolutely loves them, but the defensive and physical side of the game will not be surrendered for any player unless your Messi
Oh so you read the comments, glad to know that we are actually interacting 😅😅😅. Go ahead and rub it in my face, but in my futile attempt to exonerate myself, I think it also comes down to his injury at a time he was picking up some wind. Anyway, like always, beautiful content.
With Zini he barely put a foot wrong offensively but when he started to get exposed defensively his attacking play took a hit .. started giving it away more, dodgy passes etc
The Different Goat returns
I do wonder if we're all slightly forgetting about Thomas Partey too regarding the run in? Would be surprised if he's here next season, but I do think maybe some of us have forgotten just how good he can be. I've loved the Rice and Jorgi dynamic, it's served us really well, but I'm unsure how many mins Jorgi can manage back to back to back with the hectic schedule here now. We need him to hit the heights we know he can from here on when called upon.
I think Zinny's head is probably also focusing on what is happening in Ukraine, must be tough for him currently
It's been going on for years.
2 years ish, did you know he donated a million pounds to the war effort, just saying things aren't always cut and dry
@@JackButland-tt9zk Actually it's going for 10 years but he still has people that he know in Ukraine.
@@JackButland-tt9zk So has his abysmal defending...
Lmaoo
After seeing how important Jorginho has been this season I see Zinny as the perfect replacement in that position. He’s too much of a defensive liability as a LB but as a cm he would thrive. We sometimes lack those balls that break lines or switches and Zinny is so good at those
There's a reason why big UCL and treble winning club sold Zinchenko...
I see Fabio Vieira cooking with Martinelli on the left, hopefully they get to link up soon.
The Different Knock pls listen and reply: can you pls post more videos more often? I love ur vids you are a very good analyticker
Zinchenko IMO is 1st choice LB in most games. Only in the BIG game he is not. We have more smaller games than bigger games.
I like Vieira more on the right side of midfield, but thats Odegaards spot. He played and scored in an away game last season (Bournemouth?) and just looked more comfortable there. But Odegaard is so good, that I don't see him getting much game time either.
The Different Knock pls reply: Can you pls make a video where ur talking about YOUR perfect summer transfer window, with signings, player sales, contract extensions and releasing...PLS do it, it would be interesting to see ur thoughts on how Arteta and Edu can make Arsenal an even better team. Greetings from Norway!
"Lack of threat" is a violation 🤣
😅😅the beginning
And we still have our Egyptian god elneny which is the type of player every club should have
Ffs only at Arsenal...
I’d really love for Timber to be fit or for Tomi and Kiwior to play that Left back role so that we can try to use Zinny in that 8 role or have him more central when players like Jorginho aren’t fit
I've always liked Fabio I think if the fans give him time like we gave Martinelli timevi think he can become a damn good player for us he has potential
Watching after Man U vs Liverpool. Absolutely Buzzing…..but Wan Bissaka please please stay on your feet!
Let’s hope he doesn’t and he gives away a penalty or two when we play them
When the estandards are fogging
I wonder if we can get Musiala in the next transfer window if he decides not to renew at Bayern.. Seems like the sorta player Arteta would like
Nice analysis as always. But I think you left out one other player - Rambo😉. I think along with Nketiah and Nelson, his time is up in Arsenal.
SO interesting you come out with this video now, esp re Zinchenko. I had a debate just yesterday with someone about him being a weakness. To clarify we are talking levels.. he is a fantastic player and im not talking Armand Traore levels of worry, or even Mustafi Kolasinac levels, but i AM worried at seeing him start twice now in recent games leaving me to be concerned he is still an Arteta favorite and will play in big games. Perhaps Brighton away wasnt one of those games in Arteta's mind.. or maybe Zinnys strength of ball playing in the middle was more important than defense, but with Bayern, CIty/Madrid semis plus a CL final, obv ideally, against whoever.. I personally think we are better off with Kiwior at LB. He aint as g ood on the ball in the middle, but he aint bad plus we have others for ball progression in Jorginho/Partey and Odegaard.. so I think we are a better TEAM with Kiwior and crucially we dont offer those top opponents with a weakness to target. He was a huge part of taking us from CL qualification challengers to a top 2/3 team and im grateful to him for that, and he can still be a good squad player (tho I also agree Timber will be first choice as he can play ball and defend AND ball carry on the outside ((or inside)), with Kiwior or Tomiyasu the second choice..) but I think we see why City were happy to lose him.. the level is higher now at Arsenal and we cant afford to have weaknesses in the "FIRST 11" 😛
City were happy to lose him and brought in Sergio Gomez 😂😂😂. Nobody in this City Team plays like Zinny.. only cancelo can do that that's y pep isn't playing inverted role frequently
Nice to you back online plastic as i was just beginning to think that your annual months of hibernation had started early this year It's also good to see you still defending the only defender on the planet who can't defend and after watching Timber play for only 47 minutes in the EPL you somehow still have the 'coaching experience and knowledge' to know that he can "play ball and defend AND ball carry on the outside ((or inside)" Amazing! Anyway, do you have any idea when Artetas process who you're no doubt still trusting in is actually due to be completed and are you going to the Bayern game tomorrow? Thanks
@@benjamindadzie9657 I'm guessing you're a Jaffa right?
toward the end of last season Arteta said he didn't play Vieira enough. I think from the few minutes he's had he's shown that he IS a difference maker. It's just hard to say why he hasn't had more minutes. I can only assume it's because he's competing with Saka and Odegaard...
❤❤❤❤
Real Madrid vs Arsenal exciting
COYG 🇹🇿
Mikel was asked if he wanted to have 18 players of the highest quality like man city and he replied i would like to have 22 or 23....of that quality....
Viera for me I haven't seen anything in his game that I feel is really going to benefit us Smith-Rowe on the other hand can be key if used correctly and consiently I really think if Mikel uses Smith-Rowe as a number 8 he can become a top top player but he needs to be patient and give him time to develop think how much time he has given Havertz and now he is finally coming good ESR can be key but it will depend on how much Mikel believes in him
Strange how most of the players who fans think aren't good enough are all Arteta signings or ones he refused to sell and then gave extended contracts to
I love my club
Vieira is our best and most impactful final third/ final pass weapon. Once he gets consistent games in RCM where his angle bias is higher - Oh Lord we will be giving him the ball to create more than anyone else on the team. MARK MY WORDS. KPAFC has spoken
I was so impressed by ESR against Luton, yes it's "only Luton" but you have to respect their defense. I think he's perfect for the games where we're facing a low block
Give us Real Madrid.
I like Fabio but what he really needs is game time for his development. Consistently. Unfortunately he'd struggle to get that here but I also don't want him out on loan because he'd be important for the squad. Maybe a loan to a PL team to watch his development more. Aston villa or Brighton maybe. A good level team.
Bro are you the voice on some of the tesco training videos😂?
Yes!
I remember arguing with Arsenal fans about why Arteta bought Harvetz. Arsenal needed a center forward but not anyone can fit it and not affect the balance of the team. City got a generational player in Haaland and the team had to change for him. I like Tooney but I doubt he will fir it to Arsenal's system, the question is, is he good enough to change the team for him? Watkins is good but is he good enough for Arsenal, i like him better than Tooney. I think Arsenal will be better but so will Chelsea and Tottenhum, let's hope City drop points but I agree we are on the right path..
Unlike guys like Saka and Odegaard, who will have many opportunities to impact games, Veira and ESR (as well as Eddie and Reiss) will have a moment or two to contribute to the team. Some game will be 1-1 in the 80th minute, and ESR or Veira will be on the pitch. They'll get a chance to make a key pass, or a shot or a moment of pressing that could contribute to a goal. That will likely be where they can make an impact. I think both will be here next year and will be able to contribute more though.
About Zinchenko, I don’t agree that he has been forgotten: all problems are primarily due to injuries. Firstable, about number of choices: we don't have a situation. when all squad absolutely fit. It means, that we don't know what option would be prefer. Even Timber - we don't saw him enough, and before this season he didn't played as LB. Ok, will imagine that he is the first. Tomiyasu is not better thah Alex as piwot. Even when he played LB at start of the season, he up to the left 8, not as piwot (especcisaly because he can't pass as well as Alex). And if we don't talk abot injuries: one of the reason not use Alex is Jorginho. Arteta needs passing MF. Rice, unfortinatly, not so good as single piwot, because his passing just ok, not good. Jorginho and Alex are sooo good in passing. If we don't have both, Odegard forced to go lower. This is a good option, but the captain is more necessary higher up. Frequent drops harm his attacking potential and overall work in pressing (he is the main trigger). And I love Jorginho so much, he's so good partner for Rice, but he's 32. Without Alex we have too less variants how to help Rice with advancing the ball through the pass. Also Tomy and Timber can play RB. White is extra player, but he's not the iron. Sometimes we need rotate him too. This season, when both options were injuread, hould not become the norm ( I'm realy afraid about his knees). I think if all team are absolutely fit, Alex and Tomy - two same '"second" options (after Timber) for different scenarios. Zincjenko for ball control and atacking, Tomiyasu for defending. I very like Kiwor, but he's weeker than Tomy as defender, weeaker than Alex in passing. He had a good games segment, but I'm sure, if Tomy and Alex are ready, Jacub will be the fourth choice (example - game vs Brighton), not Zinchenko. About his defending mistakes: all players make mistakes, even Saliba and Big Gabi. You also can remember Tomiyasu mistake agains City (pass to KDB), but he still in the squad. Injuries is the real problem, but it's not about one player. May be with more rotation options situation will be better. It's great than Arsenal in that season is not so depends on Alex, but if we talk about skills and role - Alex still so important.
Who is this KEVIN!! Never turned up at emerates and away ;)
8:20 allow me to introduce to you, Yaya Sanogo.
Zinchenko can't defend at all but he's the ideal inverter. Against Bayern they were looking to him to be primary ball player from CDM.
I wish Nelson got more time in the light. What he lacks in the pace that Saka has, he more than makes up for it in raw balling ability. He can dribble guys unlike Saka.
Nope Vieira’s best position is on the Right, where once he’s open the pitch on his left foot he has all the passing possibilities with the angles favouring him. What needs to happen is Mikel needs to move Odergaard to LCM esp with his new role as conductor and a proper ‘CM’ and give the RCM between Vieira and ESR. Thank me later
CEO: Here is our new organisational structure. Zinny: blast, my department has been dissolved Me: Go check the internal job notice board or a new company
Im appreciative of what zinchenko brought us last season, but tactically i dont think he does enough to keep up with our squad now. + off the pitch he is an absolute clown and i cant wait till we sell him.
Zinchenko is not a clown. He is a leader. The way he wants the crowd to pump up, the way he motivates the squad. He even went straight to ESR to give him credit for the 1st goal vs Luton. He has a drive in him. He wants to influence games, wants to help the team, is always there for others. It looks like clown behaviour to many of you but it’s not. The 1st time he interacted with the squad he said let’s win the title. We need people like him. Him and Rice are captains without the armband. And he suits to us perfectly tactics wise. He can replace Jorginho as his actual position is a midfielder. He can still invert and in the last few games I was impressed by his performances. He has improved his decision making and he now does well under pressure. Certain game we have to play Partey and the best fullback who complements Partey’s game is Zinchenko.
@@NorthLondonForeverCOYG yeah he has a very good mindset and i loved how he acted last year. But I’m talking about how he begged for Ukraine support but then posted about him supporting Israel. He hasn’t made any apology about that which is a disgusting thing to do.

@DiffKnock do you think the Luton game was a sign Ramsdale is gone in the summer? The fact he wasnt given a game when other "2nd string" player were
Fabio viera had a kid I assumed that's why he wasn't given enough chance assuming he was taking care of his wife and kids and less training but I might be wrong as well
Zinny was the reason Antony scored against us at OT last year. Antony might not be the most threatening winger out there, but the issue is that Zinny probably believes it and would be even more complacent defensively. I want Tomi or Kiwior va United. Teams that play chaos ball would cook Zinny, and we really can’t afford his lackadaisical approach to defending down the home stretch
After Arsenal beat Villa & Wolves (April 20th) they will have AT LEAST a 3pt lead on City AND Liverpool.....with the Goal Difference Breaker too!
dude you again. STFU and stop getting carried away. Calm damn and chill. One game at a time.
Unpopular opinion but I think Zinny actually hinders us. With him coming into the mid meant white needed to stayed back and we saw how much that affected Saka. White overlaps gave saka a performance + position boost. Take a look at those first 10 games, we were winning but barely scoring. When zinny was injured white was able to overlap again and that’s when we had our goal explosion.
