Stevie Nicol and Craig Burley made a feast of Havertz’s struggles now Stevie is claiming he was right because Arteta changed his position.
Not everyone on tv is smart😂😂 Havertz played as midfielder and #9 since day1. Arteta is a genius and he never changed anything.
Aeteta did! Previously, he played him in midfield, pretty deep, where he was pretty useless.
And Shaka still won’t admit he was wrong about Kai and still nitpicking at irrelevant negatives.
@@johnporcella2375 the same way Saka started as a left back, coaches sign players to play one position but understand that they can switch it up if the player works better elsewhere.
@@johnporcella2375Havertz was playing as a 9 in the Community shield...
Wow, Nedum is gold. Actually adds insights instead of the bs chit chat that happens on most of these talk showss
Nedum is the most insightful pundit on this network
Without doubt!
@@dannytallmage2971What is wrong with you?
@@garyanderton I don’t like racists. What’s wrong with you?
Derek you are so right pal.... He's still a legend at City even though he was sold. He's a genuine City fan from a kid. I have lived in the area where he grew up. A very very rough and poor area in Manchester (harpur hey) about 2km from the Etihad. But he's so focused and came from a good, Christian family and he's smashed it.
@@eyesopen66 Yes, a true success story!
Trossard is allowed to run… Kulu runs into his space and there is incidental contact. That is never a foul.
Yep. Trossard is just moving forward and Kulu cuts in front of him.
Exactly it's mad to me anyway can call that a pen. To make it worse Kulu doesn't even have control of the ball. Just 2 players running towards the ball and he cuts in front of troussard for minimal contact which he initiates 🤦
It was similar to Saka vs Bayern , Trossard didn’t make the move to challenge him , Kulu moves his leg towards Trossard
he trips over his own feet too. people shouldn't use whatever angle spurs reddit is trying to push. never mind the multiple pathetic dives by maddison
@@astrothelad Maddison is the worse. Never seen such pathetic attempts at dives in my life. Good player but he cost his team the 2nd goal they all stopped playing cos of his theatrical dive as usual looking for a cheap pen.
We got Bayer Leverkusen Kai Havertz, now Arsenal need to add Florian Wirtz to that squad
Wirtz is going to be one of the most expensive transfers ever. Arsenal are a good team, but the big European heavyweights will try to sign Wirtz in 2025.
- Havertz signing of Season - But if City win,they buy best players - Arsenal splash record breaking cash - But it's moving like Big Club?🤣
@@jitterskaterArsenal have the money now look at last transfer window £100 mil rice etc, kronkes are rich
*Bayer
Even if we win all remaining games and not winning title, it still a great season for us. And we will have 200mil this summer to spend(on top of selling some players) we will definitely improve from this season.
This dude is so good to listen to. As a foreign English listener, his language is really clear as well. Not to mention, super insightful.
It must be a nice break after trying to understand Stevie and Craig!
@@peterandjunko exactly lol, I cannot understand Stevie's mumbling at all.
@@bbminhtri I’m an American and it’s a struggle, believe me.
Best pundit in ESPN
This Nedum dude understands football. So refreshing 💪🏾
@arsenalodero He’s the best pundit on ESPN FC and the most professional.
He played the game
Onuoha is very well articulated. Would like to see him on a bigger broadcasting show tbh.
Not going to happen! If he speaks truth, never getting on Sky! No chance!! Sky thrives on false narratives and pointless rhetoric and clickbait.
Love this duo analyzing honestly, much better than the rest of the pundits
Arteta 4 out of 4 Hit signings. Timber Havertz Raya Rice all class signings. As an Arsenal man who was behind Havertz from start…. I think he is a justified signing. Arteta has great talent id and he develops players so well. But not signing of season. Rice or Palmer is.
Arteta develops players like who 😂
If that was a Penalty, basing on all contacts, then this Season Arsenal should have had like 10 Extra Penalties
Nedum analyzed with a cool and neutral head which is how a good pundit should be
@linskychou He’s far and away the most professional pundit on ESPN FC.
If Kulu hadn't been diving from minute 1 then maybe they might have given it. Stop cheating.
If you give that penalty on Trossard you’ll be expected to give a half dozen penalties every match.
ESPN really needs to move on from catering football coverage to boomer audiences with slapstick pundits like Gab, Stevie, Ale, and dare I say Shaka at times. That time is over. This conversation was actually a discussion and not a yelling match with Gab. Grow up ESPN. The American football audience are now adults that know and love the beautiful game.
@AndreZachery I fully agree. I’d add Dan to that list as well. Kay is so much more professional than Dan. Dan should be on The View because he’s more concerned with mocking people, creating artificial controversy, and winding up people than actually facilitating a professional show.
@@Photosoflife absolutely Kay Murray and Alexi Nunez are pure professionals.
I love this show when Nedum is on with Juls.
Please change to Jules and Nadum show. Can’t stand Gab.
@deadghost7584 The show flows so much better without Gab. He doesn’t know how to stop talking and just listen. The same thing with Craig. Both Craig and Gab hog the air time and don’t let other pundits speak.
@@peterandjunko I don't like Gab either but Alejandro Moreno has to be the most annoying pundit in all of world football. He's stealing a living being on that panel, absolute bellend.
If the ref calls every little contact inside the box there would be a serge of penalties. Oliver did a great job that game.
Nedun is the best pundit at ESPN
Contact, contact, contact. I feel like throwing a bottle at them like Kitty Oppenheimer did every time i hear that word. A FOUL is a penalty, not CONTACT. It's a contact sport, u can have as much contact as u want, doesn't matter. Your CONTACT has to result in a FOUL.
👏👏👏 couldn’t have said it better! It’s almost as if you’ve read the rules and use common sense 😂
Kulu ran into trossard,he clipped trossard that is why he was trying to stay on his feet,trossard did not clip him..
Kai Havertz has proved me wrong totally. I wasn't keen when we signed him Chelsea, but he is so skilful as well as gifted to watch by scoring at the right time.
Did you know that admitting your wrong is part of growing into man!? Big respect to you for admitting it👍🏾
@@TheDjSweets💯 That's how you grow!
Think most of us were wrong! His confidence was shot at Chelsea ! So kudos to Arteta for once again seeing something we as fans didn’t see! Kai is a mosquito! He’s a pain to the opposition! It’s taken not as long as I thought for him to settle and find the best position for him! I’m guessing he doesn’t want the season to end!
Same here, I was also confused as to why he was signed and how much they paid for him. Glad he’s constantly been proving the doubters(including myself) wrong
You weren't wrong. You judged Havertz from when he was playing in midfield, and he was terrible. Since Arteta stumbled on finding a good place for Havertz up front, he has been pretty good.
Nedum more often and I will subscribe 😂
4:10 Thank you, Nedum. That person who should have known where Saka was, was Hojbjerg.
Arsenal won easy and Tottenham lucky Raya got bored
Havertz has been so underestimated this season, he can ghost into dangerous areas coz nobody is seriously marking him 😅
No mention of the fact that after the 79th minute, Raya caught 5 of the 10 crosses Spurs put in the box. He's currently tops in the league by a large margin in preventing crosses from getting to attackers
@v0n1b0 Not enough people realize why he’s better than Ramsdale. He’s miles better with his feet and claiming crosses in the air. Both of those qualities absorb pressure and prevent shots from being taken in the first place.
All contacts fouls and therefore penalties? I mean what are we on about here? It is a contact sports gentleman. Jus in case someone forgot that part
65 million Richarlison was a joke, but look at him now......still a joke. Mudryk next.🤣
Havertz is a very elegant and intelligent player just coming into his own.
Good, thoughtful punditry. None of the silly banter of the other show with Shaka Hyslop, Craig Burley, Stevie Nicol
I have listened to a lot of pundits over the years. I think Onuaha tops them all for me. Very knowledgeable and well articulated.
I am loving the QPR on jules. Did Nedum gave it to you. Smaller clubs needs support. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow, check out Jules rocking the retro QPR 90-91 shirt 😎
Good insight and analysis ,Jules and Nedum just super objective neutral punditry thanks guys
Havertz changed my mind. He's a great nine. But he's still doggie in the midfield
Mikel saw something no one else Did
No he didn't. He bought Havertz to play in midfield. He was terrible in midfield. Now he has stumbled on good position for Havertz.
@@MrChipping1 yes he stumbled when the first game havertz played at 9. CLOWN
These guys are talking about Spurs like 80 percent of the time in this clip, and when it comes to Arsenal, they’re like, ‘Yeah, they won, but whatever, it doesn’t matter.'💀
Yeah it’s surprising from Julien, who’s an Arsenal fan too. Anyways, less focus on us. Win the next 3 games 🙏
Because the know fans like you will be crying in the comments.
When a big six team loses to arsenal it’s always time for an inquest.
Kulusevski makes incidental contact that is so minor that you need super slow mo to see it. Anyone feeling robbed by that is pathetic
Excellent show 🎉
I think since he was going away from goal. It was a good call.
they only talked about spurs and not arsenal
Havertz is a special player
Struck gold with Nedum espn.
Nedum is the ideal pundit. Unbiased, knowledgeable and very articulate.
Why is everyone acting like you can’t physically touch anyone in the box? It’s a contact sport.
Wow, Nedum Onuoha is some pundit, really fantastic analysis.
The lack of a penalty call has nothing to do with how badly Spurs defended for the goal.
I'm enjoying watching supposedly impartial pundits eat their words about Havertz this season....... 18 goal involvements in the Premier League so far and the vast majority of them have been in 2024, as a proper forward. It shows you how much a player can change and massively improve when you move him to his best position, I'm glad that Arteta adapted his own plan to put Havertz where he's most effective. He has 0.68 goal involvements per 90 minutes which isn't bad considering he played in midfield for pretty much all of 2023. I wasn't completely convinced at first when we signed him if I'm being honest, however....... the second he signed for The Arsenal, I supported him 100% as he's one of us.
…Love this. Not many people gave him a chance at the start of the season obviously didn’t see him play for Leverkusen. He’s always had the qualities he just needed the environment and the love to feel wanted again. 🤫👏🏻
if were giving havertz a shout then palmer definitely deserves to be in the conversation
I'm surprised that Ange and his coaching staff didn't watch and analyse our set piece routines, we've scored the most goals in the Premier League from set plays this season and I'm also surprised that they do zonal marking when they concede corners when we put in 99.9% of in swinging corners. It was naive to be honest......
Love this duo. It's so easy to listen to them (they don't speak over each other) and Nedum adds good defensive insights.
Trossard has been a great signing as well
This show with Nedum is so much better than with Gab.
U gys have seen saka against bayern totenham fans were saying it wasn't penalty so that wasn't a penalty
Actually Rice to Saka then Saka to Havertz, Havertz to Saka...goal
Kulu was not fouled, when it happened i thought he wanted to go down but was in two minds whether to pass or not but chose the pass and then carried on the act, therefore he wasn't fouled. And Maddison pretended to defend 😬 on the corner, cant remember if we scored on that one but he defo backed out of defending on a corner, a fruit corner.
Nahhhh the way the media slandered him as the WORST top 6 signing to switching up like this now. I was on the Havertz train on DAY ONE bro
Nedum Onuoha is an exquisite and interesting football analyst ❤❤❤big up man for speaking facts not sentiment.
Contact is NOT a penalty. You have to commit a foul. Never a penalty.
A native speaker saying "at this moment" 😂
Jules using roadman lingo on ESPN is peak!
Nedum’s voice puts me to sleep. And I don’t mean that as an insult. Very soothing lol.
What do you mean again bruv😂😂😂
Legit fair play to Kulusevski, he didn’t play up for it and didn’t even try to claim it as a pen, I actually respect him for that
Nedum is one of the best in the business, sensational pundit.
Saka against Bayern🤔
Shaka is still bagging Havertz
Havertz isn't even close to signing of the season. Just look at Palmer for half the price. Palmer on 29 goal involvements is averaging a goal involvement every 75 mins. Havertz 1 every 131 mins.
Mmm.. how many penalties has Palmer scored this season?
I dont know what you guys on spurs will be a force if they keep Pos next season this coming from an Arsenal fan
What Arsenal needs is Isak from Newcastle and a talented right sided attacking wide player in the event Saka gets injured. Maybe Pedro Neto from Wolves. We also need to offload players like Vierra, Nelson, El Neny, Nkethiah, and Cedric. I would keep Smith-Rowe, Jorginho, Zinchenko, and Jesus, though. We do not need Wirtz from Laverkusen!
“You would expect havertz on his strong foot to make that pass” The bias is crazy. Imagine haaland trying that?!
Come next Season he will be back to being a joke. I think the expression "Purple Patch", is correct.
I’m still doubting him. He’s our st and he only has 12 goals. Even Dominic solanke has more goal. And don’t tell me it’s cause he’s a false 9 cause even Bellingham scores as midfielder. If you saw Kai at Leverkusen you could’ve seen what I’m talking about
I said 7months ago The only position Havertz has to play is the striker. Jesus been poor. Arsenal need to play Partey as DMC. As Rice is an upgrade from Xhaka. Havertz is not a midfielder Rice can offer a lot more in midfield than playing as the DMC. If Arteta started Jorginho as DMC Rice as number 6 Havertz as striker. Arsenal would have 85-86 point now
Isn't this exactly what we've been doing for the duration of 2024? Jorginho at 6 is good for the big games but against worse/more transitional teams he gets exposed. Rice being good in both positions gives us great flexibility and that's not a weakness.
@@benmackay3573 Yes. It was the defeat at Fulham and Westham and drop point a few games earlier in the season all when Havertez play at midfield Rice as number 6. Unless you have great options then yes Rice can play 6. To me Partey is very important and very good player for Arsenal. A shock when Arteta played him as right back earlier in the season
But Partey has been injured the vast majority of the season.
I know that Havertz is a very good player, and I still don't know what type of player he is.
Kai has finally found his psotion. Still not the striker arsenal need. But if he can improve his game as he still young. He could get 20goals and 15 assists next season.
To everyone complaining that Arsenal scored after a potential penalty, think of it this way.... if the spurs players concentrated on what was happening rather than crying to the ref they should get a penalty then saka probably wouldn't have been so unmarked
Was there contact? Even if so, who touched whom? Given that the bar has been raised so that contact has to be significant, was any contact more than minor?
If you take away Kai's goals. Arsenal are not near winning the league. Absolute genius signing. I'm not going to pretend I thought that last summer, though 😂
More like what they were truly fighting was arsenal😂😂🎉
As good as Kai has been, I think Palmer is the signing of the season. Only logical
Perfectly broken down by Onuoha
All We need from spura now is to beat Man City
espn is my favourite comedy chanel
Chelsea got to stop selling to Arsenal.
Lol Chelsea need to learn how to use their players 😂😂😂
Arsenal solved the problem for a 20 goal a season striker everyone said they needed. Set pieces.
No. Ben White is the signing.
We’ve had him a couple years now though .
It's Cole Palmer.
Cole Palmer take all of the penalty for is team
@@bobbybrooks3679ok? a penalty is not a guaranteed goal mate.
@@vrchicken9915 I understand,but it is already set for him to just put it in the back of the net
Havertz is genuinely Arsenals answer for a striker. 8 goals 5 assist in last 11 games. That equals 25 goals minimum next season if he starts
My issue is that he was running away from the goal and he manage to get the ball to Madders, I am not sure if ball advantage works inside the box . I could be wrong obviously I dont knw ball that much
The truth is Arsenal lost to Bayern and Villa because of Arteta,s stubbornness. He got it wrong. It was very obvious he needed to play Partey,Rice, and Odegaard: our obviously best midfield.
is this spurs fan tv?
Compare between Trossard incident and Gabriel Magalhaes incident (with Newcastle), which one is more obvious and yet Arsenal don't get the penalty. Crying over a spilled milk ! This is ridiculous !
Meanwhile stevie and craig still trying to work out what position Kai plays in. Arteta brain is million cells ahead of you both so will never work it out😂 then you got Mr Liar Hislop. Imagine his kids when he gets home “dad why you tell so much lies”😂
70m for....13goals and 6 assists, most of which came in the last 3 months? His problem at Chelsea was disappearing for half the season, that hasnt changed
This so called football Journalist Jules acting like he was not one of the ones hating on Havertz.
I remember watching this girl talking playin for city 😂 not to mention when he got qpr regulated
He'd pull your head off mate.
I'm an Arsenal fan Havertz exceeded expectations but Cole Palmer is the signing of the season
@peterwest4965 Palmer has been very good but his penalties are highly inflating his stats.
Juls looks like a sporty priest
