To all those Arsenal fans who i met in and around Emirates stadium on game day , who were so generous to me for the show that James & I put out each week on AFTV , i just wanted to repeat my gratitude and thanks . It meant and does mean a lot that people get what we try to do and enjoy it .. Many thanks . Graham - AFTV .
Tomas Partey makes everyone look even better when he’s on the pitch. And there’s no one that moves the ball forward quicker and better than Partey. A very underrated player in the squad
So true - great player. Hope he stays fit for a couple of years
He was never underrated just always injured and unreliable
Partey is 🔑
No, he is not underrated. His problem is availability.
I don’t think we should underestimate the way Arteta has dragged this form out of havertz. A player who’s confidence was on the floor when he joined, and I personally had no hope for. Just goes to show how good of a coach Arteta is
Great point & spot on 👏👏👏👏👏👏
There's some imbecile fans on twitter who now think we should take on Rashford and Sancho and even Darwin Nunez because arteta is now a player career saviour. The havertz journey wasn't pleasant at certain points and we do not need a re-run.
@@okoyeeric7149 oh yeah I definitely wouldn’t take this type of risk again, especially on rashford or sancho, but this was clearly a calculated one. The right profile, the right age & attitude along with the fact he’s won the champions league, his versatility combined with his physical and technical qualities. It’s kind of obvious now he’s playing with confidence but for Arteta to foresee it is very impressive. although the whole midfield experiment hasn’t worked lol
Can we all agree that Graham is too entertaining
13:48 😅
me thinks we need onana to beour next 6..thoughts??
Graham is a living Legend!!!
Not more than Julian 😂
Onana not so good on the ball. Check out Youssouf Fofana from Monaco he is very good.
Havertz as a centre forward has been sensational.
100%
Bukayo Saka is the first Englishman to score 20+ goals for Arsenal since Theo Walcott in 2012/13. Graham - AFTV
Proud to say that this show is fantastic. I always like. Very good analysis Graham. Keep going.
Thanks Roy ❤
Malayali 😇
Tactical insight is a delight
The stuff these guys see inside of a game is sick! I think when they watch a game live the action on the pitcg slows down to them like The Matrix bullets
Partey’s influence cannot be understated. The comfort he brings to both Odegaard and Rice is clear for all to see. His press resistance and ability to connect defense to attack is magnificent.
To the end of the season D.Rice upgraded G.Xhaka role perfectly. It was like discussing Xhaka last season. Still Rice is more mobile and offers more physicallity with better ball carrier ability.
Allow me to disagree on the contentious points: by the present law, it's a penalty (Kane got so many like this, with the trailing leg), but imo the law should be changed. Bournemouth disallowed goal? for me it's a foul: Solanke doesn't play or even look at the ball. There's too many, shirt grabbing, arms around a player, barging into a player when running or in the air without any attempts to play the ball. Contact sport? yes... WHEN competing for the ball ( and without using the arms) the rest is cheating and I wish it was penalised more.Thanks James and Graham for this and all other tactical insight: never miss them!
Thank you so much for your kind words about the show and a brilliantly argued point on the Solanke / Raya incident .
You have spoken really well 😊
The thing about odegaard left mid needs context, one thing is that he moves there in counterattacks because he is basically defending on that side or more centrally and another thing is against low blocks on the left since he does not have enough right foot to be able to make filtered passes, shots on goal and crosses with advantage as he does on the right when he approaches the center of the field
The Martinelli penalty shout, I think it was a pen. Most people were looking for contact on his feet, which there were none, but he did get pushed in his back.
Hey James I told you last time Rice at 8 will be best. He can defend and attack. Shackles are loose. He can take players on, assist and score. We need a beast of a 6 who can pass the ball like Partey and press resistant.
Rice is literally the best 6 in the world. We are going to sign a proper box to box midfielder in the summer.
No lol we're looking at 6s...
@@abdullahibnmiah2986 you’re in for a shock this summer then buddy
Is that ironic? Tone is weird. I like Graham's analysis. He is humble with it too. He doesn't think he should be the manager.
We get more out of Rice at 8. We need to sign a beast of a 6 with top passing range. I like Youssouf Fofana from Monaco. What do others think?
Zibimendi is the player Arsenal must go all out to sign in the summer! Very similar to Partey but younger and fitter. Zubimendi is good in the tackle he intercepts brilliantly and when he wins the ball he only looks to play it forward asap! 51m for a player of Zibimendi’s class is a steal! Zubimendi cdm , Rice box to box and Odergard attacking mid would be the most complete midfield in the premier league! Partey needs to be moved on! Yes he’s good when he’s fit but you can’t plan a team around a player who’s constantly injured! Remember he’s on 220 grand a week basic before bonuses! Those wages are better being used to pay a player that actually plays week in week out! It’s not feasible to pay big wages to a player constantly injured!
We got our Vieira back in Declan Rice 💪
Havertz is more than a traditional #9... not many of those 9s could defend as well and would be willing to track back as Havertz ! Last not least, it seems we'd get a pen when Havertz drops but almost never with Jesus 😮💨
This show is always better with Graham.
Partey makes everyone look better... Rice and Odegaard look better because of Partey.... Don't lose sight on this....
Absolutely spot on . We just need to keep him fit .
He definitely needs replacing and won't be easy.
@@Graham_Brooks1that is like going to the paddock and betting on the lame 😂 horse. We need to find best replacement we can or play Rice at base and find a different 8 maybe more Xhaka like actually lol. Partey is just not worth the gamble. 10 million and 12 in wages saved with Partey going towards him.
Partey releases Rice and Odegaard to flourish. Crazy enough, Lokonga might fit perfectly alongside Rice and Odegaard.
Watch Ray movement from front when leveraged out his path. If you push hands you can throw a bigger man across the room effortlessly when you have his centre of balance. Raya can't be stronger when hevis "sucker" punched. Its very diff from blocking him off. He even levers his under the arm.
Bring Judges on
He is a unused sub so far 😁😉
Guys I believe Tottenham losing 4 in a row is preparing themselves for a city win surely they can’t lose all their remaining games it’s embarrassing 😂😂😂
Watching them at Liverpool, I can see them getting thumped by city.
Love fantastic show 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you Maxine ❤
Have you shared the link with Lee yet?
ofc 😂
I always send him the link .😉
@@Graham_Brooks1 love your content man. Let's hope we win the PL this season. Coyg.
@@akshatmall1200 Thank you bro. COYG
@@akshatmall1200 👏👍
Remember when everyone said we are a one season wonder lmao this aged well Coyg we are the strongest
Havertz was excellent, he now looks fluent and decisive. Lets see if heis big confidence player and he will dip badly again or fluctuate at higher level. If he starts striking his attempts with real conviction he can be our number one for sure. He isn't a striker anyway. Maybe the 8 in summer is the aim or is it a 6 with Rice as 8. Rodri doesn't just sit. I see Rice as our Rodri. We need another pacey attacker to threaten teams pressing us high and rotate the front players
Thank you friends!! Yes that was a red card!!!
Jesus with no injuries I'm very interested, Partey no injuries I'm very interested. Love them both bit their time at Arsenal is up. Can you imagine City going a whole season without Rodri and Haaland?
Partey is 🗝️
🔥⚽️🔥
Lee Judges is in the comment section.
Bayer Leverkusen are almost invincibles?
wdym almost?
@@dangerbeatz6342 still two games left
@@IdontKnow-fd6rp ahh ok, thought you meant that they lost one and therefore „almost“. You are right then. They could have an invincible season that is even better. (If they dont lose the DFB Cup final and the two games left in europa league.
I want Arsenal to buy JP Mateta this summer. This guy is on the rise and will be a good fit for arsenal and will be affordable as well.
Why is the "Field Tilt" stat not called "Pitch Tilt"?
G. Jesus needs to Sort out his injury issues and we need to keep him. We don’t need a new striker if Havertz and G. Jesus are fit and in form. We need a wide attacker to compete with Saka, and help him to carry the load on the right wing. We have to keep Partey, an inform and injury free Partey is unstoppable in the midfield, we were not going to lose at Porto if he was there. We need an additional midfielder like an Onana from Everton, to come in for when Partey is injured. Lastly, a right sided center back to deputize Saliba. If we buy a need striker, what are u going to do with Havertz, he can’t play as a no. 8
When havert touch the ball more than 2 times is either loss the ball or back pass .havert score 2 goals but miss 7 goals .the only thing he play is he's defensive striker
Why we harping on, it’s a straight red early doors then we stick 6 past them, stop drowning on, it’s a penalty and a foul on the keeper by modern day rules.
Arteta should have allowed Odegaard long time ago to play more central as a play maker than constantly on the right!
People forget Lokonga is coming back, and he’s looking like yo this team is mad, he can be our future PARTEY 😊
@إرزع ي ماورتسيو يا سري ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
James, Julian & Graham is the podcast we all need in our lives
It’s a no from me!
People who hate Julian... I feel sorry for them
@@FootballAndSuch When you meet and if you get to know Julian, you will discover what a decent, genuine and warm guy he is . He deserves to be appreciated by our fan base . A proper Arsenal man.
@@Graham_Brooks1 Graham, I think you both are a credit to the club and prime examples of what true, good people are not just as fans. You both have a lot of love & respect from me.
@@FootballAndSuch That's really kind of you to say . Thank you.
Havertz should reign back on his diving and nasty fouls 10%. He will get diving reputation (rightly) and not get the cl8se ones soon. Its a pen for me as Kane got 100 of them lol. But if not given I would accept. Foul on Raya definitely needs given and monitor for foul on Saka. Seemingly ref can say no ti red after looking but award yellow. That would be good use but they are scared ti do it
We just need to free Rice. We need a reliable CDM and Rice can do a more advanced role. It works well that way. Maybe we get Fofana from Monaco

TACTICAL INSIGHT INTRODUCTION BY GRAHAM - AFTV In a post-match Tactical Insight Show , recorded straight after Arsenal had swept aside Bournemouth 3-0 at Emirates stadium to re-open the four point gap over Man City , before they closed it to 1 again thrashing Wolves , James & I analyse in particular the roles of Martin Odegaard , Declan Rice & Kai Havertz ; all instrumental in fashioning Arsenal's 26th win of their prenier league canpaign . On the Tactical pad , we break down : How Odegaard's new role building the play from deep to make him more press resistant is benefiting the team ; Our captain's heat map is analysed in detail . How Declan Rice's role in the 8 half space enables him off the ball to press high if a team looks .to play out or drop back infront of the back 4 if they go over our press ; But it was Rice's on the ball and attacking moments with a goal and assist that proved game defining and we break down those numbers . We look at what Kai Havertz brings to the team as a central striker and James recreates his movement from Odegaard's pass that led to the penalty We are very aware of the knowledgeable Tactical Insight Community that we have and if there is something that you saw in the game that we missed , please put it in the comments . James & I do delve into the comments section during the week We really appreciate your feedback and support for the show . We love analysing this team . Its a real privilege and a pleasure . Kind regards GRAHAM - AFTV ❤
A couple of things - Rice has mentioned in the past that one of his all-time fav midfielders is Yaya Tore. Arsenal's Midfielder - If not the best in the Premiere League is top 3 - point blank, period. Finally - Declan Rice is now a Box to Box Midfielder. Thinking of him as anything different is like half filling a container and saying it's full.
I still believe Rice is a better CDM. Rodri still gets up the pitch and contributes for city in that role. An attacking minded b2b would be my go to for Partey’s replacement
Ben White was a CB, Saka played LB. Let Arteta decide where he wants his players to play.
@@FootballAndSuch White played RB and CDM before and Saka was Always a winger in the academy. We haven’t had an Aaron Ramsey or Santi Cazorla b2b player for a good time now. Arteta knows what he’s doing but ya cant tell me that a player like the 2 i just mentioned wouldn’t slap with Rice and Ødegaard
@@MJR.99 White was a CB and Saka played at LB... what are you refuting? Both are true.
Havert like (son vs Liverpool ) spurs would have won or draw if not for son
This the team we need EPL. UCL. CUP. ASS isak. 35. 10. 15 Saka. 25. 10. 20 Martinelli. 20. 5. 10 Odegaard 15. 5. 20 Wirtiz. 15. 10 15 Harvert. 10. 5. 5 Trossard. 15. 5. 10 Bailey. 10. 5. . 10 Esr. 5. 5. 5 Rice. 10. 5 10
Arsenal are ready to listen to offers to sell Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus, 27, this summer
Arteta has denied that speculation this week
The push and bump on Raya may have seemed soft but their player deliberatiy tried to take out Raya and he didn't have the ball and the Bournemouth player wasn't going for the ball so for me it was a fair call overall.
@andrewg3768 Solanke put his arms up as if to say, I didn't do anything,' he knew what he was doing
Feel asleep to this last night, thank you Lee judges
Even tho I actually did fall asleep to this, I appreciate the effort James and Graham put in each week, keep up the great work
I know Lee Judges loves the show . It's all good banter He trys to wind up James on the Fourever Arsenal podcast . I occasionally go on his channel and do a show with him and Dan Potts And of course I used to share the Same Old Arsenal platform with him . I know his sense of humour . Love Lee by the way
@@Graham_Brooks1 not to joke, I feel asleep to podcast at night, but I do watch and listen back to them in the morning. Really enjoyed the episode you and James done. Keep up the good work
@@Graham_Brooks1 Lee is a funny man, great banter and overall aftv have a great bunch of people
@@ZaaRaphz Thank you so much .
Say Kai scores three more goals and we win the league… Do we still need a striker?
If Harry Kane would have done the same, everyone would be saying he is a genius. Stop with the bias. It is a penalty. If others get it, so should we.
I actually said it was a pen mate
Yes and Arteta playing Havertz in midfield 3 early in season is what will end up costing you guys the league.
Havert in mid is just like we have no one .
@jamesgoonerverse please you don't have to create a havertz better CF than jesus narrative. Don't think it's a productive discussion. We can appreciate what both bring without a one vs the another narrative esp given that neither are still yet to embody the complete CF that we need.
Havert can score 2 goals and miss 7 goals
Rodri play as 6. Rice can play as 6 and 8. Rodri best in th Word as 6 and Rice is second there. To have rodri and Rice in same team would be nixe to sen rodri as 6 Rice as 8 and ädegard/bellingham as 10
You make a good point And it's why we all have to thank Arteta for signing Rice
If Arteta doesn’t buy a striker it will be a big mistake
but Arsenal are the best goal scoring team this season
@@nanaaddookyere We haven’t won anything we need a striker who scores more than Havertz
Hopefully Arsenal management read youtube comments; otherwise, how will they know what to do?
@@JoeGamblerhavert score less than he miss
Because we create many chances this season and loss many goals because we don't have killer striker and yet we score many
Arteta should buy a striker, replacement for Saka,Partey,Odegard and a defender to replace Saliba or Maghalles if injured thats all we need 5 players and we are good to go for the next challenge
You bringing up odegaard made me realize that we are cooked if he gets injured. The only player that can do what he does in any way in vieira and he doesn’t even play
Partey should consider retiring from his NT duties and focus on helping his team (and payer) to clinch the title....we'd easily get 30+ games from him next season
2 games left of the season and theyve only just found their positions 😂😂😂
Since January dodo 🦤
@ObviouslyKieran Obviously went over your head mate .
All three players have had their roles in the team tweaked over the last few weeks.
Trade Jesus for rashford , we will fly they will flop , rashford saka connection
Havertz was excellent, he now looks fluent and decisive. Lets see if heis big confidence player and he will dip badly again or fluctuate at higher level. If he starts striking his attempts with real conviction he can be our number one for sure. He isn't a striker anyway. Maybe the 8 in summer is the aim or is it a 6 with Rice as 8.
