Hello everyone and welcome back to Inside Arsenal.
In today's show I reflect on the thumping 5-0 win against Chelsea in the Premier League, going over all the big talking points from the game. I discuss Martin Odegaard's performance, the return of Thomas Partey to the midfield, give my Arsenal player ratings and share what some of you have been saying about the victory.

Odegaard is actually ridiculous, a lot of people mention how Rice is an engine but this guy doesn't stop pressing. 91st minute and he's still chasing people down
Rice was the new toy this season, and he's done very well, it's natural that people want to talk about that. Rice is still ridiculously good, but it's just that Ødegaard is insane, there are no other player I enjoy watch playing more than him.
£27mil for Trossard, who was our second choice after Chelsea paid £88mil for Mudryk - who had to be subbed because he was so ineffective (again) - is almost like the Universe giving us a high five! And Partey running things in the engine room once more? Loved it.
Are there any more words that we can use to describe Martin Odegaard and his talents?? I'm not sure there are any words but I'll have a look in the O.E.D?? The fact that we paid just £35 million for this phenomenally talented young man makes it even sweeter...... he is a world class footballer in my opinion.
Odergaard’s pass for Kai’s first goal has to be the assist of the season so far.
didn't even have to break stride, as if Kai was dribbling with the ball all along.
and arguably not even odegaard's best assist on the night!
I think the diagonal pass to Havertz that ended up as a corner was even greater, if we just look at the pass itself, not what happened after.
I think people forgot what Partey can do when fully fit. We were as fluid as we’d been all season. TP gotta start every game from now
On one game? Yes he was good but Jorginho has been great for us too. A rotation would be great.
Enjoy while we can because he's either gonna be in rotation or gone as soon as the season end
You call Odegaard an artist. Barney Ronay in the Guardian called him a poet today. I would add, the pitch is his canvas and his technique is beautiful to behold.
We need to talk about Ben White, this guy is incredible, he continues to surprise me game on game. How he has transitioned into this right back role, his link up play with Saka and Odegaard is exceptional, such a key member of the squad and the more he plays a more attacking role the more his technical ability shines through, absolute baller.
His technical abilities increasing as well as shining through. He is evolving. Teams used to cover Odegaard and Saka and leave White with the ball. At their peril now.
Odegaard is our player of the season
Odegaard also just seems like the nicest guy! World class player, world class person by all accounts ❤
Captain of club not just the team. Puts on smart clothes and turns up to represent Arsenal. Buy of the century 😍
If Partey proves his fitness next season I hope he gets a contract extension
It was a bizarre game in some ways. Yes we smashed them, but we also gave up more chances than usual and Chelsea could have had a couple of goals. Need to tighten up for Spurs and cut out the silly errors at the back, as I don't think Son will be as generous as Jackson et al.
Agreed some fans get carried away. Missed too many chances with some slackness .
Thank you! I hope Mikel and the coaching staff are working hard on this. We could have been 2-1 down at half time if Chelsea took their chances. Saliba has looked dodgy at times. Our back line has been near perfect this season and we need that type of defence vigilance and quality down the road on Sunday. Also the Emirates was quiet until the 2nd goal went in. Home support needs to be more consistent and loud whether we’re winning or losing.
If Martin Odegaard doesn't get Premier League player of the season, it will be criminal. Imagine if his name was Jack Grealish or Marcus Rashford, or even Bakayo Saka. The English media would have him hyped through the roof. For me, he's underrated. He's on a level with the likes of Jude Bellingham, who's been spoken about in the Ballon d'Or conversation. He's certainly the best footballer in this league this season by a distance.
Ollie Watkins he's been unbelievable this season 19 non panelty goals and 12 assists is wild
I mean, he did have a slow start and disruption for injury. Your view is pure recency bias. He has got a fair shout for POTS but it's absolutely not a given; there's a STRONG argument for Rice to be Arsenal's POTY, given his consistency throughout and the level he has shown in his first season. Gabriel has been probably the best defender in the league this season, basically not put a foot wrong all season. ...and those are just Arsenal players... Reliability is the best ability; consistency is a big consideration in these discussions and a slow start should have an impact. A season isn't just the back end.
Partey playing in his best role, freeing up Rice to make runs and link further forward……a must against Spurs………
immediately could see saka was getting way more space with partey finding that ball out wide in the build up so quickly. Declan doesn’t get that off. I have a feeling we run through Spuds this weekend keeping the pressure on City and Liverpool.
I was at the match with my son, what an amazing memorable night at the Emirates. So glad to see Partey back and in form. What a performance! COYG!!!
The more I watch Martin ødegaard, the more I see a Luka Modric type player. Just an all phase threat that can make an impact everywhere on the pitch.
Partey must start against Spurs , allows both Ødegaard and Rice to get in more forward to link the play with the forwards and adds to the press...Martin Ødegaard pure class and keep King Kai up front against Spurs...Cheers Charles from South Africa great channel..
Partey put in a master class midfield performance. It’s such a shame he’s been injured all season . Never felt so sure of getting a result even after the first half . We completely dominated them .onto the next game #coyg
Charles, I go back a bit further than you, growing up watching Brady, Paul Davis, Rocky & Mickey T etc. but I don’t think I have seen such a complete attacking midfielder as Odegaard. Vieira had the power, drive & tenacity, Fabregas the vision & passing, Santi the energy & tricks & of course Brady had that left foot. Odegaard, however has it all and more! He just never chooses the wrong option. His passing is often genius, seeing things that we don’t even pick up from the upper tier. He goes box to box and is the often the most advanced closing down their keeper. His energy & drive is endless. Long passes like the one to Havertz against Chelsea are just normal for him. We should sit back & enjoy. Dennis watch out - he really is that good. Russ.
Heresy, Odegaard is good, but I’d place him below Fabregas in that list 🤷♂️
Odegaard needs a 10 for that performance. otherwise agree with the ratings
Watching Thomas in the middle of the park made our passing look organic awesome 😎. Charles how can Martin not be a 10?
Odegaards pass for Kai's first goal 🔥 If KDB plays that we never hear the end of it 😂
If Arsenal has any world class player, it's Odeengard. Not sure if he is player of the season, but he is truly world class. He creates so much
He also helps keep the ball and regain it like few others.
Not sure who Odeengard plays for...?🫣
5 world class players. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
@@syc2543 the benchmark for World vlass is subjective. I just think that Pfeengard ticks every box. Rice, Saliba and Saka can also be in the discussion for me but Odengaard for me is Arsenal's greatest prize.
@@franzgrosser Pedantic United
Last night was a dream but. Im already in knots with stress for Sunday. We need the strongest possible midfield on the pitch v the spuds.
The VAR issue is that the bar moves differently for each game
Ahhhhh what a great morning, roll on Sunday mannnnn
Thanks Charles. I know it may sound like a wild take or a bit of a stretch, but I feel like if Arsenal had a Midfield consisting of Rice, Partey and Odegaard available all season together with Timber playing consistently at Left back, I couldn't see how we could've lost any match to be honest.
Would be well clear to win the league at this stage i think
@jayk5368 I would've agreed 100% if not for the little matter that it is actually not in our hands. The Villa result made sure of that. And I won't be holding my breath on City losing or drawing any of their remaining six fixtures. But I'll still be hoping for a miracle though. 🙏🏽
Hey Charles I'm super stoked. Looking forward to Sunday, even. 1. Arteta should never ever play Kai Havertz in the midfield. 2. Odegaard is out of this world. What does he need to do for the world to appreciate him more? 3. Rice X Partey X Odegaard was my predicted and preferred midfield and it was on fire. Arsenal should extend Partey's contract with a year with option of another year. It wouldn't hurt to have him and Jorginho for a couple more years. Their experience is incredible. 4. Proud of Kai Havertz but I think he needs to be a little more intentional and aggressive with his finishing, he could have easily bagged a hat trick yesterday. 5. Saka is tired and his posture is screaming for help. 6. Raya might just bag that EPL golden glove 🥊 7. Arsenal should save Mudryk's career and just buy him. White is a baller! His goal reminded me of Saka's against Chelsea when he too was trying to cross and found back of the net.😂😂 Come to think about it, Arsenal always scores enigmatic goals against Chelsea, remember the Martinelli one, too? 😂
Hear Hear!!!
Jackson should have seen a RED for that tackle on Tomi. I’m absolutely fuming that VAR didn’t even look at it, not even yellow.
I am so in love with Ødegaard. I have his name on my shirt from last year. He's a super talent and he's ours.
Hi Charles! To follow on from your thoughts on Odegaard, I think he is the player of the season and the most important cog in the team because we don’t really have backup who can press, pass, and control the game the way he does. But the thing I’d like to point out was how quick Arteta was to give Edu credit for bringing Odegaard into the team when talking to Martin Keown after the game. I think, as the club progresses over the next few seasons, that Edu is our not-so-secret weapon. When you look at the players he’s bringing in, almost all of them are hits with very few misses. Credit to Edu and his team!
Hi Charles, yes it was a great night, MO’s passing all night was sublime, the best probably the one for Kai. Might only have been surpassed by Jesus if that Rice chance was onside and he scored. Gabriel and Rice were out on their feet at the end of the match. Against the spuds, big Ange’s set up is based on pacey wingers on the counter so we’ll have to be aware, everything riding on this game again. Partey has to start if he feels ok, same goes for Tomi.
Odegaard gave me prime Zidane vibes last night. Incredible performance!
Steady
What a beauty of a game. Good to have Partey and Tomi back. It was great to see us be aggressive and take our chances. No idea how they didn't look at the tackle on Tomi closer. That was blatant. Partey's passing is so good it surprises our own players haha. Can't wait for Sunday, COYG!
I think odegaard is top 3 midfielder in the world at the moment, wouldn’t trade him for anyones
Partey is a must for Spuds game. He transforms the way Odegaard and Rice can perform and allows them the freedom to go and express themselves in an attacking mode.
One of the best videos to watch, smiles, burst of laughter, thanks!
Hello Charles. Thank you for your videos. Your videos so documented with so good views. I always know that as long as someone respect others and speak the truth then people will follow you and enjoy
Respect others! Just a couple of weeks ago he was mocking followers who didn't agree with his view (conflicted) of Arteta.
@@prash_t give your head a wobble
We had to wait a while for that! But it was so sweet 👌🏻
Thanks for all the updates about arsenal. I have been following you on fb but now I have lalso subscribed your channel.
2 goals for Kai 2 goals for white and A 4 minute 👌 goal brilliant The midfield was strong exactly what I wanted exquisite win 👋👋👋👋👋.
We were 4-0 up at 65 minutes. Arteta took until the 82nd minute to sub Saka and give Viera some minutes. This is the one thing that annoys me with Arteta.
How that rash tackle was missed is by ref and VAR criminal
I would have loved a martinaly goal but the five goals were absolutely what we all needed
Hi Charles, love the content and daily uploads. Keep it up. After last nights win over Chelsea as you can imagine I’ve woken up a very happy Arsenal fan. I had a few points to make in this so excuse the length but. I genuinely think David Raya’s presence in goal for us is being criminally underrated in terms of the difference he makes and the numbers we churn out. To think he’s ahead in the GG race by I think 5 clean sheets and you take into account the 4 games he missed and the two vs Brentford. But because he’s not English the media don’t want to give him his flowers. Last night was very much the Martin Odegaard show, the way that man floats around a football pitch and sees things only probably himself, KDB and TAA can see. But yesterday I think Partey being back in the 6 was massive, I think with his fitness issues we really forget how good he can be in that position. The line breaking passes and composure he showed last night was up there with his better Arsenal performances. I also think this facilitates Declan Rice’s current best position at Arsenal as an 8, he’s able to be so much more direct and aggressive in that position as he hasn’t yet developed the ability that Thomas has with line breakers, he has a great range of passing but still has a lot to learn in what OUR 6 needs. It was also lovely to see Kai Havertz score two and celebrate against his old lot with a knee slide at the carpet. Onto the NLD on Sunday COYG
Just a shame the Villa result took it out of our hands. Would like to see Martinelli find the net more, it was so nearly 6!!! Sublime Arsenal in the 2nd half, the midfield were awesome, although Partey did run out of steam.This sets us up so well for the weekend, win that, who knows!.....Brighton fan on Thursday. Nice one Charles.
Thanks from Malaysia ❤
Had to sleep after 70 odd minutes as it was 2 am & had to wakeup early in the morning. But so satisfied to see a 5-star performance by the Gunners. Proud to support this team.
Hi charles can i just say something about the Chelsea game and previous Games before, is there somehow we can get a message to the club that when one of our players score a goal that the other teammates bang/hit them on the head can we / you put that to Mikel in a press conference again it is not healthy specially with the Dimentia on the rise i think players should really try and refrain from doing that Thank you Charles Love you content.
Majestic was definitely the word I'd use to describe watching Odegaard. A joy to watch. I really hope we see that Partey Rice Odegaard midfield for the remaining games (plus Tomi starting). However I disagree on Saka and thought he still looked tired.... I'd be keen on more rotation on the right with Jesus and Viera given some more minutes on the wing when Saka needs a rest. COYG
Had an Odegaard debate on one of your videos back in Nov/Dec. They were saying he should be dropped, and I was defending him. Not sure there's a debate anymore 😂.
Odegaard, Rice and Partey look incredible together.
Commentator Peter Drury was on fire last night. One of my favourite lines was after Ben White scores his 2nd goal - ‘Arsenal are so good they’re scoring by mistake’. - Adam 🤣👍🏻
That is what we have been saying that partey must come back to the starting eleven. Actually partey gave Rice more opportunity to move forward.
Rarely if ever does a team win the League when conceding 35 or more goals. Regardless of how this season ends as a team we're certainly getting there...a key to our improved defence is Odergaard who leads in orchestrating our press...COYG
What a game!! The entire midfield was incredible. I do have a bit of a concern about both of our CBs. I hope we are able to perhaps give one a rest on the lighter games
Here's why Odegaard is our most important player:- If Rice is not available it's bad news but Partey can cover for him, even Jorginho at a push, if Odegaard is not available it's bad news but you can cover for him with... - *I HAVE NO IDEA* ... 👀 It is no coincidence that Odegaard played as ridiculously good as that with a combination of Rice *& Partey* behind him.
G6 is Arsenal’s player of the year for me, we now have a defence
8:31 every time I see him finish a game these days I'm worried because he presses for the entire game tirelessly
I'll admit, I was very nervous going into this one but everyone and Partey was really solid it was great to have him back. One pet peeve of mine with him though is his passes are so telegraphed, there was a constant threat when he had the ball of it being intercepted and a few times it was. But overall, fantastic to have this midfield. What a performance from the team! Cam
Amazing to watch. I swear we'd be 10 pts up right now if Partey stayed healthy. Ahh well. That midfield is a joy to watch.
Partey has that ability to play Saka with good passes in that last third, we're all pleases to have him.😊
Hello Charles hope Partey Rice and Odegaard play again against Tottenham there was lots of beautiful things i saw through that combinations
Brilliant win…our midfield is one of if not the best in football today…they were the difference makers last night…TP slotted in nicely and looked sharp….Arsenal in not going quietly into the night like last year…win out and we have a chance
Jackson reminds me of adebarndoors first season with us. He did everything well except score.
What a beautiful result. I absolutely love watching our club. I thought Partey was superb, and seeing he and Rice exchanging positions was magic. That said, we weren't quite as secure in front of the back 4 but I guess that is to be expected given they have only played together once before!
Hi5 charles 🖐, Partey had a great game yesterday, with him at the base of MF, Rice was able to run up and down, we need him to start v spurs as well will very much help with his phsicality and passing!
Hi Charles, the next five days are probably the most important of Artetas managerial career. He has to manage the workload to ensure the players are rested, but at the same time, ready to go on Sunday.
Our defence was a touch wobbly in relative terms this game. Gabriel needed to calm down and be decisive playing ball outta defence. Saliba said he's tired....
A top moment for me was the movement by White around the 26th minute. Havertz had an amazing game but I wish that had of been buried in the top left
Saka is looking alot more like his usual self, expect a great performance against spurs with the extra rest. Ødegaard has been on a roll since Dubai and im pretty sure Raya's won the golden glove with that game
Hi Charles. MA should also rest MO8 and Saka from time to time. After going 5 nil up I feel that was time to rest them. I can't agree more with you when it comes to MO8. Equally good and important is TP5. Well done Gunners. Fredrick.
A lot of fun indeed
I found Havertz frustrating in the first half, decision making poor; should've shot when he passed, should have passed when he shot, and couldn't draw other players in. Has to be a 7 for me, and still highlights we need an all out number 9, because there was a hattrick on the cards for Kai yesterday.
Totally agree, Kai seems to show up when the going is good but when the going gets tough he disappears.
I know Partey has not had much game time but I was nervous watching him. The last few weeks I've seen him give the ball away cheaply and invite pressure. Likely a lack of match sharpness but I feel we will regret playing him at some point if it leads to a goal.
Take your negativity somewhere else. Nonsense !!
@@paulmacpaul3389 i thought he had a good game for sure but there were a few times where he looked a bit shaky
Hello Charles, great to always listen to your video's. What a glorious day for Arsenal fans everywhere! The Gunners put on an absolute spectacle, treating the Emirates Stadium to a dazzling 5-0 victory over Chelsea. It was a game where Arsenal's attacking prowess was on full display, peppering Chelsea's goal with shots like confetti at a party. Honestly, it could have been 8-0 or more if the woodwork and their keeper hadn't intervened to save Chelsea's blushes. And let's talk about Nicolas Jackson's survival on the pitch after that wild tackle - it's like VAR decided to take an extended coffee break! But hey, no complaints from us Gooners, because this victory proves once and for all that Arsenal is not a team of "bottlers." Martin Odegaard is such a super talent, and getting only better with age! Now, onto the next challenge: a London derby against our noisy neighbours, Spurs. Let's paint North London red!
We’ve been crying for Partey since his return but Arteta for some reason didn’t opt for it especially against Bayern away why wasn’t Partey playing ? This is my only frustration with Mikel he sometimes makes weird decisions when we need him to make the right ones.
Hi Charles. Love from Pakistan. Why weren't you at the Chelsea game? Missed your updates on X. - Mehran
All the Partey detractors quiet now .. has to start against spurs, easily our best midfielder. Changes the game and we look 10 times better with him in the team. +1 year contract extension incoming
Hi Charles, love the show, thank you for the daily content. In response to the two potential red card challenges in the last two games, just want to point that using reckless to describe a red card is not used in the laws of the game. Reckless is used to describe a yellow card in the laws of the game. However, you are spot on using endangering the safety of a player as this is associated with a red card.
If you’ve ever enjoyed Bergkamp highlights, stop watching those and just watch Martin right now. That’s the same level.
As much as I love Odegaard, he’s nowhere near Bergkamp, or even Cazorla’s level… superb technicians
I was both buzzing and gutted watching last night. Buzzing that we were purring and showing Chelsea up, but gutted that we have been robbed of Partey all season and that we can't really rely on his fitness going forward next season. He is such a top player and makes the team so much better.
But ... 😢. We maybe need to bring in a budding Partey we can mold.
Hi Charles-- What do you make of the rumored new spending cap proposals? Sounds crazy to me because of the impact it'll have players' sales. So many lower/mid table clubs continue to benefit immensely from player sales. If you cap, say, City or Arsenal's ability to buy, there'd be no more huge Rice & Grealish-style windfalls for the likes of West Ham & Aston Villa. Plus, unfairly, it'll limit EPL squads in European competitions.
8 🔥🔥🔥
A great all round performance. No abusing here re; Chelsea, thought we are above all that mickey taking. I thought Partey was immense, yes a few dodgy moments that apart, he looked a colossus in midfield. Not my favorite player, we never rarely see him, but i hope we sell him in close season while we have some value. You all know what will happen , he will fall over a napkin, and well, you know what happens next. I was delighted to see Fabio come on, believe me, there is a PLAYER in there. Have know idea what the problem is there, but someone will get a bargain if he goes. good luck the week end lads.👍👍
Once a game is 5-0 it’s hard for subs to have a big impact as the game is as good as over.
Odegaard, Rice and Partey are definitely our main midfield trio. The midfield were so so much more fluid than with Jorginho as a 6 and/or Havertz/Trossard as a left 8. Partey should start NLD without question. Also, Trossard is on fire and there's absolutely no reason not to utilize his form for NLD. Trossard should start NLD also and him not starting could disrupt his rhythm which we don't want to for our remaining games.
Partey was so good last night that I think Jorginho loses his place for NLD. What say you Charles?
I actually thought Tomas Partey was really sloppy in the first half. Dwelling on the ball too much and lots of mis-placed passes. Fair play to him though he improved greatly in the 2nd half.
Charles , Am I the only one that who was gutted that we didn’t score more , I mean Martinelli alone had two clear cut chances and he was a sub and fluffed his line .. I honestly I’m still gutted .. he didn’t feel sorry for us when we were god awful , were they and never will !! Martinelli man, seriously what happened to that lad .. usually he’ll be to count on for goals , particularly those kinda chances !!
Hi Charles, hope you are well! I have a question regarding Partey. Do you think it is worth keeping him for another year, even if we then possibly lose him on a free? I personally would like to keep him, just so we have his availability (if he stays fit) and for what he would be able to pass on to the likes of Rice and/or any other players to play in the 6 role. I think a lot of players could still learn from how he plays and the way he benefits the Arsenal squad with his vision and passing range. Thanks and keep up the good work. Dennis
We will win the title at Old Trafford and finish in style by winning 4-1 against Everton! That’s my current prediction based on our history, would be so sweet! I’m aware I haven’t calculated the possibilities of winning the league at Old Trafford but COYG
"Chelsea has given us a bit of misery over the years." Meanwhile, Chelshit has 1 win in their last 10 games against us...... They haven't been a problem for us in a long time. Also, it was a GK error on the first goal. A PL GK should be making that save 100% of the time.
Hi Charles, Partey showed yesterday how much the team missed a midfielder who can pass vertically and free Ødegaard of dropping deep and building the play up. Given we sign a midfielder of starting quality who can provide similar qualities (and obviously would be more reliable), who would you rather keep between Partey and Jorginho? I was more keen on keeping Jorginho, but seeing Partey yesterday makes me feel it might be good to have Thomas arround as long as we don't rely fully on him as he's more capable of magic than the more secure Jorginho.
Jorginho every time as he is actually available lol. Partey will be lucky to stay fit for next 4.
I don't think you mentioned it but Raya has secured the Golden Gloves THIS SEASON already. Who gets the most credit for this? Raya? Salibriel? Entire Back 4? Rice/Jorginho? Interested to hear your thoughts. Also Sunday, avoiding defeat means it's St Totteringham's Day. It seems like the animosiy levels from players and coaches are a fraction of what they once were. Has the NLD become primarily a fan-based rivalry?
One thing Raya has over Ramsdale is that he dominates his box, is on the front foot Which is funny because Ramsdale is the taller, more imposing specimen
Well done Arsenal
I've said it before. Saliba struggles against very pacey players. Against slower, more powerful players, he is top-notch.
Everyone struggles against pacey players
Partey Rice Odegaard for the remaining games now no team will look forward to playing against that trio
Odegaard is Magic a couple additions away from being truly untouchable. Got revenge for wengz 1000th game. Blue bottle jobs in the mud ! COYG
