I want Calafiori to start for a much simpler reason. Take the burden off of Timber who is still recovering from an ACL injury. Timber’s burst isn’t quite there yet, and I don’t want him to over exert himself feeling as if he has a point to prove. Timber will contribute in meaningful ways to the club, and honestly already has! Let Calafiori start some games so he can play more and understand our way of playing football, as well!
@@byst017 timber is the new ashley cole, he's nailed down that position, arteta ain't worried about all these things you people always worried about, they're focused on other things, timber ain't proving no point, he's just playing football, I think fans must get back to just supporting instead of over exerting themselves thinking they are football pundits
I lose respect for anyone who says " we have/are playing for a draw" Simply not true. Wasn't true at the Etihad last year hasn't been true in any game this season. Do not concede first and foremost and then try to create chances is not playing for a draw. Cant play the same against every opponent at every stadium.
After that cameo, Calafiori could arguably be better in that position. particularly in the attacking phase, we need more creativity with Odegaard missing
@@GetUrOwnHandle that position's problems is fixed with timber, the technical crew ain't having this debate, they believe the left back issue has been fixed
The way I see it, arteta needs to try timber in the midfield, maybe a cdm and start calafiori as the lb and drift him into the midfield the way he played against atalanta. this way , he can pull timber to the right side where he is stronger so he can create a triangle with saka and white.
I really like Calafiori. I would love to see a Havertz - Odegaard duo in midfield again. Odegaard as a playmaker and Havertz as a shadow striker. The help Calafiori can provide for Rice can allow Havertz to move higher when he is positioned in the midfield in a 433.
Calafiori should start because I believe he would actually be much better against man city, first of all he’s a fantastic defender and interceptor of the ball which can help us slow the game down, and second his ability to drive with the ball at his feet through the midfield could definitely help us create a chance or two
Hear me out. Calafiori at LB, Timber at RB. Pep might play Savio & Doku at once on either wing, probably even swapping their positions during the game based on which wing he thinks is weaker & I doubt Ben White will succeed if Savio is the one he has to deal with. It also means we won't always need to double up on them so our wingers will stay up for the counter. The worst that could happen if it succeeds is that they'll be forced to cross into the box for Haaland & Gundogan which I think our CBs & Rice will likely be able to handle.
I think Ethan could play in odergard roll , I want him to start against city , I mean FFS if it don't work then change it but I believe he could work well with jorgey
If it doesn't when we're already 3nill down in 15mns then they can change or what's the point? Ethan will build his minutes with easier fixtures going up not with this city machine
yes let's forget about the no 10 and add caliofiory to the midfield,provided any body from the defence to the attack can make clear passes,he can also be a good cover for timber to overlap in other to open ways for Chances to be created.
Double pivot of Calafiori and Kiwior. Timber at LB, Gabriel Saliba CB, White at RB, Martinelli at LW, Saka at RW, Havertz at 9, Trossard and Rice as each others subs.
That's why you are not a coach... Do you understand that Saka and Ben white have a very unique relationship on that part of the pitch ? Putting someone else will throw the balance off .. some of you fans just talk for the sake of talking
Would it be a bad idea if Arteta puts out this formation against Man. City? ----------------------------------Raya----------------------------- White-----------Saliba----------Magalhaes--------Calafiori ---Havertz(free role)----------Rice--------------Timber ----Saka-------------------Jesus------------------Sterling
I honestly think that Arteta could really make use of Calafiori on the Left making him a LW/LM/LB like how Christian Maggio played as a RM/RB which i see the similarities in their style due to their amazing ball recovery conversion into attack. just bench martinelli he's washed atm.
Yep, hate to say it but white hasn’t been his best recently, I think calafioris left footedness will be beneficial for martinelli on that side, also excited to see timber in his actual position on the right and he’s more defensively secure than white
All this because Arteta is trying to make England / English fans happy by not benching Ben White benched. Otherwise, Arsenal's most complete and balanced starting back 4 would be Riccardo Calafiori at LB, Gabriel Magalhães at LCB, William Saliba at RCB and Jurrien Timber at RB.
I agree this is our best back 4, I don't agree that Arteta is keeping Ben white in to keep English fans happy, remember this guy just ditched ramsdale who had a lot of fans who were critical when he was dropped for raya but fact is fans just want the team to win and will forgive player loyalty if the results are good. I just think califiore hasn't played enough yet but I do believe once he's settled in we will see the timber, saliba, Gabriel, califiore back 4
You don't know anything about football if you're going to rant against Ben White. He's been reliable ever since he's joined us. Top player! It's really hard for anyone to keep a fixed spot in this defence except Saliba and Gabriel. Playing on rotation like Man City is the best solution to give everyone game time and to keep them injury free
I am rather surprised that Arteta spent a lot of money improving already strong positions when what the team needs is a clinical no. 9 and a Saka and Odegard backup. Gyokeres, Eze, and Merino would have been ideal for the transfer season. I don't see how Calafiri is a marked improvement on Gabrral regarding defensive and offensive play. Raya is good, but so was Ramsdale. now we have about 6 who can play LB, with only outcast Terney, the only natural LB.
@silasezeugwu4552 here we go again another ramsdale fanboy. you might aswell follow him out the door. Arteta is the one building the team and the signings have been fanstatic.

No, the Gabriel, saliba partnership is way to strong for that, he’s either used as a defensive option over timber or becomes the squads 6. He’s excellent in progressing the ball, and excellent at winning duels, he’s physical, aggressive, he’s what we need at 6

@@uwemattiss880 this isn't about me or about respect for Gabriel. I don't make these decisions. Arteta does. Arteta brought in Raya to take Ramsdale's spot and we all couldn't figure it out. Now we know why. Arteta knows why Calafiori is going to be better than Gabriel at LCB. Do I see it now? No. But I'm not Arteta. And no, he didn't lure Calafiori to Arsenal by telling him he's gonna be a squad player. Calafiori was told he's going to start. He's fine at LB but his special sauce is at LCB. Wait for it.

Exactly.
But a sensible view like this isn't sensational enough.
If we were playing for a draw, we would've played Athletico's haram ball of 5-5-0 formation & would never bother trying to counter attack.

I’d swap Timber for Partey. It’s worth a try.
@@GetUrOwnHandle that position's problems is fixed with timber, the technical crew ain't having this debate, they believe the left back issue has been fixed
No he hasn't nailed it down. Have people not learned about Arteta yet? By the end of the season it could very well be Calafiori's position.
@@M0J0-RL236 what I ve learned about arteta is he don't pay attention to distractions, we seen it with havertz, raya and so on

@@charleslittledale7991 Timber can play for White when needed but it's not needed right now.
Partey is better than Jorginho
You wanna tkae out our top 3 best defender (Gabi and Salbi 1 and 2)... Stay away form coaching
Calafiori would be good in midfield with Rice and Partey or Jorginho
That's what I'm thinking. Calafiori plays like a midfielder or DM. He should switch his position not as LB
@@elmohuaerte6082 yeah, Cala can definitely ball! samba!
This way him and timber can both start
Finally he scored against man city.
It’s obvious Partey is done now. Move Timber into midfield and put Calafiori in LB. Keep it like this until Merino is back
Bro, this is what Arteta just did. Am sure he saw this video..
LCB is the best position for him paired with White at RCB, with Timber at RB and Kivior on LB or other way around with Kivior in the LCB position.
What the fuck are you talking about
Did you just casually take out Gabriel and Saliba? Hahahahahaha

Would Calafiori b able to play DM position?
Timber DM calafiori LB
Of course he can, just look at his playing style
Yes, he played in a double pivot role at times for Bolonga last year.

Calfiori to start at partey place him and Declan rice have a good engine they can run for me partey is slow
Need to use spellchecker mate
No more experiments
Calafiori LB while timber in RB in the city game
