Rice was tired Nwaneri needs to play more else he might leave like Palmer. My suggestion is to move odegaard to left midfield and Nwaneri to right midfield when we need goals we need more creativity, nwaneri and odegaard playing together in midfield is our best creative midfield combination arteta should use it
I do agree with you but unfortunately I don’t believe Arteta has the ability to see us through the line. He has made his contribution but we need trophies!!!
I honestly don't believe you know what the words negative or toxic mean. 😂 arteta is costing us trophies, that simple. Jesus at the 9 and havertz in the midfield against villa last year shoulda sunk him but we were on such a purple patch it couldn't be done
Agreed! Sometimes I wonder, why not jus let Martineli use his pace and get behind defenders. Like he did when he scored against Chelsea. Use Tierney to back him up.
It’s the opposite, many signings and outgoings were driven by Edu. He gave ESR the 10 shirt and was forced to sell him, Vieira was loaned out leaving him just Nwaneri as an Odegaard alternative.
@@yungdkay1008 Arteta plays Nwaneri sparingly to protect him. He did more playing 10-15mins. He was given 30mins against Everton and went missing. Arteta hasn't used Nwaneri incorrectly. You just analyse poorly

Martinelli and Jesus need upgrading asap. It really was frustrating to watch us pass around the back a few times, knock it over to Martinelli, watch him try a 1 on 1, lose, Everton goal kick or clearance, back to our defenders - rinse and repeat. It was bewildering. Even if I, a semi-casual armchair supporter, can predict exactly what we’re about to do and who we’re about to pass it to, then opposing managers and teams sure as hell can.

But if we don’t sign a top forward or 2, and/or see some new tactics, then maybe he’s hit his ceiling for now. Again Liverpool dropping points and we can’t capitalise against a weak team.

Its so the players are in the correct position so if they lose the ball they can most easily win it back really limiting the oppositions amount of chances created.
It's not the players, guys...the whole team has had their creativity and flair crushed out of them by Artetas predictable and restrictive tactics. With the right manager and a striker, the current squad would be world class.
@@dan7972-k9m yes bro, and he has bought some amazing players...but we need someone who will allow them to be creative and show flair...not a one-size-fits-all strategy
We are struggling to create a real threat against certain types of opposition. Nwaneri can pass, create chances, make driving runs, dribble, and shoot. Havertz's versatility, on the other hand, can make him do both defending from the left midfield and attacking the opposition box from the left wing, from either Saka's crosses to the far post or Nwaneri's through-balls in between defenders. Arteta should set up his team using the Scorpion formation with Rice protecting the back four and Partey supporting the attack. And like Nwaneri, even Trossard and Martinelli would more effective playing close the goal area instead of the wings and Havertz can always pop into the box from the left wing. Havertz--------------------------------------------------------Saka -------------------Nwaneri-------Odegaard----------------- -----------------------Partey-----Rice---------------------- Kiwior/Kelly----Magalhaes------Saliba-----Timber
Arteta is just too unimaginative and fearful of trying Martinelli in the central position. Give the team the ball and counter attack with a ball over the top with Martinelli and Saka’s pace. This was how Martinelli thrived in the first year. To make matters worse we have few of the best defenders in the league plus a good midfield so why the fear Mikel? Why so fearful. Don’t you trust your players?
Since Xhaka left, the team balance was lost. Martinelli has struggled on his own. We used to have Zinchenko inverting supporting Xhaka and creating space for Martinelli. We used to be electric from the first whistle pinning teams down. Now we are so slow and teams have learnt to pin our wingers to the touchline. What we now need is a striker...so that we start attacking through the centre. For the first time this season, the game against Monaco with Jesus at the top we created chances through the centre. I'm disappointed that Mikel does not see what we all see that we need a striker to take us across. Havert is not that striker l'm afraid. Without one, this team will never realise it's full potential. I'm really disappointed we have failed to take advantage of Liverpool losing points.
Odegaard doesn’t shoot first time I’ve had enough of it saka cut back was brilliant odegaard should’ve hit it first time always taking that extra touch
A man that tactically changed to narrative and culture and arsenal and some people are castigating him left right and centre He's seeing things we all don't see and know Please cut him some slack and judge him at the end of the season No one wins any trophies in December
It's true that no one wins titles in Dec but look at the narrative this is the 3rd szn arteta has dropped every other title to go for the prem. I actually prefer if we had 2 fas a carabao and a ucl w out being title contenders
@@ryanbranson174he hasn’t dropped the others though? We’re in the EFL cup quarterfinals. Still have the FA cup. We’re 3rd in the champions league! What has cost us heavily this season is discipline. Those 3 red cards cost us 7 points. We would currently be top of the league with Liverpool having a game in hand
No trophy since FA cup in 2020. We spent the full 2023/2024 season realizing one truth, Kai is not going to win us any trophies. Wasted entire transfer market without fixing the most evident problem with the team, A PROPER STRIKER. All blame rests on Arteta.
People getting disappointed unnecessarily because of a bloated unrealistic expectations for a team which failed to strengthen key areas in transfer window. Arteta failed or was reluctant to sign an outright striker or forward just to justify that havertz is reliable. Recently,he started using TP5, arguably the best midfielder in the team, in the wrong position at RB just to accommodate Merino/Rice. This causes loss of balances in not only the midfield but also disrupt the flow on the right side attack,no more triangle of saka,ode,and timber( which white usually provided b4 injuury). Tbh, in games where the team is leading,he can experiment on possible combination of Nwaneri and MØ(possibly on left side of the attack to give a flair there) rather than switching players out of positions. Arsenal should just focus their energy on the domestic cups (FA or Carling cup) as they are relatively achievable compared to having grandiose of clinching EPL or UCL. More upsets are still coming.
It pains me to say it, but Odegaard is holding us back against midblocks. You need elite ball carriers or final ball specialists like KDB/Trent to unlock these types of opponents, and Odegaard is neither of these. He is a Bernardo Silva type - a small zone creator, a ‘pass before the final pass’ player - when you’re trying to score against 3 lines of a settled, physical midblock he not only becomes ineffective but actually hampers our attack.
You people just keep avoiding the main problem, playing Rice in the 6, it reduces our creativity. Only Partey has the right profile for that. That deep block from team requires a technical mid, not a casual midfield with rice as the base
@@guilexrp6993I remember what we were before those 5 years. I ain’t one of these emotional Arsenal fans. We barely competed for the league and was seen as a banter club. Now we are getting closer and closer to look like a consistent team but missing a striker and a RW, maybe a LW to compete with Saka and someone that can create like Odegaard. I have faith Arteta is the man. You can say whatever shit you want but that is what I believe.
@@redfire1094We have won 1 trophy but during that rebuild we faced a quality Liverpool team and a city side. The lack of context to some of your analysis is ridiculous. The last two years for sure we should have won something that is my biggest critique.
This is the process we've been trusting all along,I think Arteta isn't ready yet to give arsenal a big trophy,right now you might think they're are aiming for champions league but we know how devastating our team can be so champions league is automatically a No go zone for us, what does it benefit Arteta winning against top clubs and drawing or either losing against small clubs I don't understand him anymore 😢 the only cups we remain with are carabao and FA cup of which if we continue with this one plan we will win nothing guys
Arteta has spent alot of money than any other arsenal managers but stil no title sign and I don't know why arsenal keep on dropping points on importans games

Ødegaard has been absolutely shocking since he became a father, is he not getting enough sleep or what is it?! I would rather have Setford 1v1 against the opponents keeper than out captain
Totally agree. It will be disheartening to see a new coach for liverpool or a team in turmoil like Chelsea just win the league. No lessons learned in the past two seasons.
What we need is some quality finishing in the final third …… we need to take our chances especially when we are creating close to none in open play … we simply can’t afford to miss those Coygs ❤
We acknowledge the tremendous turn around that Arteta has done for the club and fans, however one needs to know when to ask for help because we are running out of ideas and truth be told the player have reached their peak and it’s time to be more ruthless in attack. The defense is masterclass but our offense needs the headliner type of player. Yes they come with an ego but without one you’ll never be a champion. WE NEED SOME
Just because Everton weren't gonna attack, you can't make the balance of the team to be top heavy.. Arteta only made the subs to keep the energy but ultimately he made the wrong ones and changed so many players to play in different positions
We've experienced the same issues we've had the past 2 seasons. Arteta still can't find a solution to the mid-block, and he still this thinks these attacking players bar Saka can help solve it for him, plus his other issue is he tinkers with the midfield too much Rice is not an 8. We bought him as a 6, let him play there. You look at Chelsea, and you see where their success is coming from them having a stable midfield, Arteta tinkers too much
Yesterday game was a most win game for Arsenal but we didn't take our chances and too sad for a team that is hoping to win the league when city is not in form
We have been facing a lot recently, although all is good. We need the last ingredient by scoring late goals. We need those magic moments again. I lost blood every time we lost points. Gunners❤
Honestly I wouldn’t mind having a experienced manager instead of Arteta sometimes, we can’t be keep losing the league, changes should be made immediately we’ve given him five whole years almost six and two years of the same result and I don’t want it to be three years running we need a new manager
when i use to say we need one chance one goal striker. many people said we are ok like this. so now it's the time most of you to feel the pain. and this uncle arteta he won't learn anything. when you lose the title past two season. you need to be aggressive and make sure you won't fail the third one. but look this arteta what he's doing. the day we need to make sure that we secure the title race that is the day he's dropping point at he's on ground. you know that your best midfield is. partey rice and odegard but you drop one of them. then later you substitute two of them. the biggest problem of arteta is he can't listen he knows everything. how can you not have one chance one goal striker and you want to win the league. this is headache
We can’t break teams down because we don’t have players who can dribble pass opponents from the middle and from the wings, Saka can’t do all the dribbles.All our players do is run and give passes sideways and back passes. There is nothing wrong going for Kudus and getting a lethal striker! How did we even go for sterling and watch on for Osimhen to go to Turkey. Which club will do that?! Peace from San Diego , California
Arteta has reached the peak of his managerial capability. It's not that surprising. He's a relatively inexperienced manager and he's done well to get this far but perhaps someone with more bite would get us over the line
How on earth do you know that? This is a really dangerous comment to make given what he’s done for us and what he can still do. He’s 42 and it’s his first managerial job, what’s he’s done is almost unheard of. A man pep has given countless compliments even before he got the job, Pep called HIM for tactical advice. Patience, Arsenal fans.
Am I the only one who feels like we are playing with 10 men because Havertz sometimes.... Even the worst teams have a profilic striker. Martinelli Vision is also off
Good morning Bhavss, Im very deflated this morning. Where has our beautiful 1 touch football gone?. We must activate Gyökeres 84mill release clause in January otherwise the premiership slipping away. COYG
The bitter truth is that the title is long gone even before the season started when arsenal was chasing Merino and cala. The decision not to even attenpt signing a forward or striker is tantamount to lack of ambition in the first place. Now the coach keep using players out of position just to prove a point. It's gone already.
@@adelusimayowa3011Why is Arteta solely responsible for transfers lol? It was quite clear Arsenal were trying to strengthen in the summer the forward areas but wanted to wait for the right player. So it is the club's failure.
Look our prem form hasnt been the best but im looking at the CL and we are looking pretty good, we just need a couple good draws and I can see us making the final
I don't think it is much of time management. It has a lot more to do with using of players out of position and not trusting the squad players that are available.
Yesterday was the final straw for me sadly. Let's put things into context. Everyone is saying city are in crisis, yet, if they win today, they're on the same pts as us, so what does that say?. A striker, and a lw were literally the 2 positions needed in the summer to really push us over the line, and look at the players Arteta chose to bring in. His inexperience keeps costing us, and the fans deserve better. Arteta is our Brendan Rogers, a nearly man.
The problem with Arsenal is Arteta and the board there is no competition among Milkel and the board because if the board give Arteta a warning so that he will know his job is not safe
It's just not good enough, and this goes back to our summer, a striker being needed, and it was not addressed. Now with a couple of midfielders leaving in the summer, we need much more,also martinelli, jesus, zenni,and a couple more players which will be sold.looks like we will need 6 or 7 players. There is too much to do in so little time so forget this year's silverware, not a chance unfortunately.
A team without striker will always be punished. I saw 2 to 3 opposition players marking Saka alone only because there’s no one to mark. Throw in a prolific striker that can terrorize defenders and saka will free and probably get more goals.
Just baffles me why he can't just play Partey in the middle, he has been our best midfielder this season, and his absence from the middle affects our fluidity. Why play him at right back, and Timber at left back, at a time when we need a goal? That limits are our attack, at a time when we need goal. He literally killed the game by his subs.
I'm still trying to understand what prompted such lineup yesterday. I mean why keep partey on the bench and then bring him on to play RB? WTF MAN! Arteta is definitely smoking something.
That’s my main anger with this stubborn goat called Arteta…how do u keep wasting a guy who has been the best midfielder in the team?and his progression with the ball is top notch
This result just underlines the previous two Premier League Arsenal games. No goals from open play for three consecutive games. Seems Arteta's tactics have been sussed by other managers, and nullified. Possession (or according to Arteta "dominance") does not necessarily translate to winning games. For me, another problem is the lack of real quality in depth of talent. Chelsea can rotate six players per game without any drop in quality. Arteta's squad cannot. Hence player fatigue becomes a major factor, affecting performance levels and leading to more injuries. As things are, I can see no chance of winning the Premier League anytime in the foreseeable future.
His arrogance is the reason why we are still struggling,everyone kept complaining we needed a clinical striker but yet he didn’t listen ,teams have learnt our attacking ways and most of our goals come from the right wing and they know Martinelli is just wasteful
Arteta is still the right man for the job. But he needs to have the Pep Guardiola esque spontaneous rotations. Like Having Havertz start at Left Center Mid, and Jesus getting the occasional start upfront (or at Saka's right wing)+ Zinny at LB or LCM. I think switching up our already positionally fluid players is all we need. It really changes up our attacking uproach & opponents' plans.
We need to get upgrade of these players... Martinelli, haverts,kiwior,jesus and merino...trust me we wont win anything with those dudes...arteta got it wrong in his recruitment...,🇰🇪
Before accusing players, we need to see Arteta leave the Club with the low standards players he brought with him and wasted the Club's funds. While he is around, Arsenal is not going to get better or win any worthwhile Cup. This guy has mental problems.
Those two changes were puzzling, especially Rice who was the only one driving forward and showing true intent. My problem is surprisingly the defense, yes the defense! This is part of the problem. They are far too slow in progressing the ball out of their own half. Each time we win a turn over, we allow all eleven opponents to get back in their half and erect the low block which most teams have used successfully against us. This needs to change forthwith. This cause us to be too slow and predictable and most team find it easy to defend against. We have been found out. Clear Coaching problem.
We should try Martinelli up the middle; maybe a change in position will kickstart something. Gotta feel for Sterling. We need to have a close look at the upcoming transfer window.
I still believe Arteta is the right man for us, m disappointed with yesterday's result but i don't think its time to panick. We need to pick ourselves up n move.
I understand the frustration within Arsenal fans. We cannot just just blame Arteta Only. When our 1st team players are not taking our chances in 1st half seriously against ANY LOW BLOCK.
We have a serious problem getting the ball in the back of the net the conventional way...none of the shots found their target, against a below par team... We were supposed to be seriously contesting for the championship this year, but I doubt we will be able, the way it goes....
Most likely won't see this comment or reply with your thoughts but I just want to get my feelings out about Arsenal. We look so predictable when we attack. Everyone's cat, dog, grandmother, grandad, father, mother and child knows how we like to attack. We give it to the right-hand side and hope for the best or a set-pieces. We can't win a title having a front line that can't score or create chances from our midfield. Odegaard and Saka can't do it on their own, they need help. I know we are in December but we didn't do what we needed in the summer. I feel we should have been more ruthless with certain players, we needed to look at our midfield and our forward line this was the summer to add that extra magic to our team. What we were told instead was we have to sell to buy, like WTF. Why does this always happen when we're so close we don't push that extra mile to get us over the line? Now I don't normally agree with getting angry on the internet and shouting the manager should be sacked in the morning but I'm not blinded to some of the criticism that has been thrown at MA and some of them I agree with. Now is MA the right person to get us over the line...I honestly don't know now. I have to be honest he only has this season and next season to Win the major trophies we can't keep missing out.
I think there's an underlying reason or reasons why Edu left in the first place. Some deficiency creeping up with Arteta. If he had learned anything from the past two seasons, this is arguably no time to be dropping points.
I dont want to go in on Arteta too hard, mainly because injuries have affected us. But we are struggling because he didn't buy top-quality forwards in the summer. We knew we needed another top quality winger with pace and we didnt get one. We knew we needed a top quality striker...didnt get one. I know he wants the right profile of players, which i do think is the right thing to do. But we have left ourselves so short up top. Sterling never convinced me and i still cant understand why we went for him. Jesus hasnt been great for 18-24 months now. Martinelli can come really good again, im sure, but having the team off balance (playing timber and rice on the left) isnt helping that. I dont think we can win the league because we are just way too inconsistent. But if we want to stand any hope, then we HAVE to buy and buy well in january. Its as simple as that.
Those fans saying who will replace Arteta if he's sacked. What is the evidence that Arteta is better than other coaches? Where did Liverpool, united, CFC, Brighton all getting managers since ? Arteta is a low mind and pride coach he has reached his peak last sxnhe is not better let him go

Every transfer window all Arteta does is to sign defenders, only Gabriel Jesus and trossard are the only attacking signing he has made in over 5 seasons at the club, I'm wondering how he plans to score goals.
So no one has noticed Arsenal's performances in games that immediately precede a must win game like the CL or an important cup game? They are dire! ALL of the games Arsenal have played just before their bigger prize have always been poor. That is why I always bet against them in those games and are yet to lose that bet.
Liverpool were able to get a draw yesterday because their fans cheered from the beginning to the last minute. The Emirates was as calm as a grave yard which was comforting for Everton. Our biggest problem is the fans at the stadium not Arteta

I think Arteta is good for Arsenal. But he is a young Manager and has a lot to learn. Like changing the tactics if the original isn’t working.
I am getting sick and tired of Arteta saying "we deserve to win the game."
That’s sickening? How about his overuse of the cop out, “ this is difficult, this is fútbol.” No shit Sherlock. 😅😂
@lexuslust our strikers and left side forwards might be absolutely crap but at least we are hard to beat. I'll at least acknowledge that
We are struggling to create a real threat against certain types of opposition. Nwaneri can pass, create chances, make driving runs, dribble, and shoot. Havertz's versatility, on the other hand, can make him do both defending from the left midfield and attacking the opposition box from the left wing, from either Saka's crosses to the far post or Nwaneri's through-balls in between defenders. Arteta should set up his team using the Scorpion formation with Rice protecting the back four and Partey supporting the attack. And like Nwaneri, even Trossard and Martinelli would more effective playing close the goal area instead of the wings and Havertz can always pop into the box from the left wing.
Havertz--------------------------------------------------------Saka

Arteta is just too unimaginative and fearful of trying Martinelli in the central position. Give the team the ball and counter attack with a ball over the top with Martinelli and Saka’s pace. This was how Martinelli thrived in the first year. To make matters worse we have few of the best defenders in the league plus a good midfield so why the fear Mikel? Why so fearful. Don’t you trust your players?
Since Xhaka left, the team balance was lost. Martinelli has struggled on his own. We used to have Zinchenko inverting supporting Xhaka and creating space for Martinelli. We used to be electric from the first whistle pinning teams down.
Now we are so slow and teams have learnt to pin our wingers to the touchline.
What we now need is a striker...so that we start attacking through the centre. For the first time this season, the game against Monaco with Jesus at the top we created chances through the centre.
I'm disappointed that Mikel does not see what we all see that we need a striker to take us across. Havert is not that striker l'm afraid.
Without one, this team will never realise it's full potential.
I'm really disappointed we have failed to take advantage of Liverpool losing points.
Odegaard doesn’t shoot first time I’ve had enough of it saka cut back was brilliant odegaard should’ve hit it first time always taking that extra touch
So how is all of this Artetas fault?
I agree. And sometimes, he needs to pass the ball rather than to shoot as evidently in that first half.
A man that tactically changed to narrative and culture and arsenal and some people are castigating him left right and centre
He's seeing things we all don't see and know
Please cut him some slack and judge him at the end of the season
No one wins any trophies in December
It's true that no one wins titles in Dec but look at the narrative this is the 3rd szn arteta has dropped every other title to go for the prem. I actually prefer if we had 2 fas a carabao and a ucl w out being title contenders
@@ryanbranson174he hasn’t dropped the others though? We’re in the EFL cup quarterfinals. Still have the FA cup. We’re 3rd in the champions league! What has cost us heavily this season is discipline. Those 3 red cards cost us 7 points. We would currently be top of the league with Liverpool having a game in hand
Your not a fan your a troll .tactically he makes stupidly sound like a virtue. Jog on ball bag
No trophy since FA cup in 2020.
We spent the full 2023/2024 season realizing one truth, Kai is not going to win us any trophies.
Wasted entire transfer market without fixing the most evident problem with the team, A PROPER STRIKER.
All blame rests on Arteta.
Arteta shocked the world with his tactics.absolute shame
@@Ethiomenzumaneshida I think the whole World is not obsessed with Arteta or with Arsenal .
😂😂😂
I was working and missed the game, but I was really disappointed when I saw the result. Glad I didn't watch
Really glad I didn't watch either
Same here i was watching and really surprised we did not create more guilt edged chances. But it does seem like he is too cautious going forward
I wish I hadn't either, but skelly was nice.
Did not watch it either and I was glad.
People getting disappointed unnecessarily because of a bloated unrealistic expectations for a team which failed to strengthen key areas in transfer window.
Arteta failed or was reluctant to sign an outright striker or forward just to justify that havertz is reliable.
Recently,he started using TP5, arguably the best midfielder in the team, in the wrong position at RB just to accommodate Merino/Rice.
This causes loss of balances in not only the midfield but also disrupt the flow on the right side attack,no more triangle of saka,ode,and timber( which white usually provided b4 injuury).
Tbh, in games where the team is leading,he can experiment on possible combination of Nwaneri and MØ(possibly on left side of the attack to give a flair there) rather than switching players out of positions.
Arsenal should just focus their energy on the domestic cups (FA or Carling cup) as they are relatively achievable compared to having grandiose of clinching EPL or UCL.
More upsets are still coming.
It pains me to say it, but Odegaard is holding us back against midblocks. You need elite ball carriers or final ball specialists like KDB/Trent to unlock these types of opponents, and Odegaard is neither of these. He is a Bernardo Silva type - a small zone creator, a ‘pass before the final pass’ player - when you’re trying to score against 3 lines of a settled, physical midblock he not only becomes ineffective but actually hampers our attack.
Doesn’t help that Arteta keeps putting Partey as rb because he doesn’t like Tierney at all to start him
You people just keep avoiding the main problem, playing Rice in the 6, it reduces our creativity. Only Partey has the right profile for that. That deep block from team requires a technical mid, not a casual midfield with rice as the base
Plain as day to see but Arteta can't for some reason
You know we created tonnes of chances against Everton right? With rice creating 2/3 chances right?
Yes we need partey in the midfield and not right back
Arteta is afraid to take risk. Got no idea what he did with his subs during yesterday's game
I am still Arteta in.
I will judge him when he finally gets his striker.
After 5 years? Clown fanbase, you’re getting no trophies
5 seasons in come on 😂😂😂😂
@@guilexrp6993I remember what we were before those 5 years.
I ain’t one of these emotional Arsenal fans. We barely competed for the league and was seen as a banter club.
Now we are getting closer and closer to look like a consistent team but missing a striker and a RW, maybe a LW to compete with Saka and someone that can create like Odegaard.
I have faith Arteta is the man.
You can say whatever shit you want but that is what I believe.
@@redfire1094We have won 1 trophy but during that rebuild we faced a quality Liverpool team and a city side.
The lack of context to some of your analysis is ridiculous.
The last two years for sure we should have won something that is my biggest critique.
@@1051POWERtalking a whole load of shite I can’t wait for him to get sacked and then u follow
This is the process we've been trusting all along,I think Arteta isn't ready yet to give arsenal a big trophy,right now you might think they're are aiming for champions league but we know how devastating our team can be so champions league is automatically a No go zone for us, what does it benefit Arteta winning against top clubs and drawing or either losing against small clubs I don't understand him anymore 😢 the only cups we remain with are carabao and FA cup of which if we continue with this one plan we will win nothing guys
We didn't deserve to win we just had more of the ball
But then did Everton do well to get a draw
@VictorChukwuemeka-qe8jm Judging by what Ashley Young and Picford did, I'll go with Yes
Arsenal always together with the fans on family to the top on the world it just one of those days come on Arsenal Jamaica say dat
Arteta has spent alot of money than any other arsenal managers but stil no title sign and I don't know why arsenal keep on dropping points on importans games
Thats not true . other teams are spending more than us . Ten hag speng 600 million in 3 seasons , Postegoglu has already spent 400 in less than 2 seasons . So chill out

Arteta should wake up
oh he wont, stubborn as a rock
@alvinaditya1610 then we are doomed
Arteta is a clueless and incompetent coach
Yep, he should wake up, pack his things, and BOUNCE.
@@COYGDE1886mince your words dude. It's football yah. If you bet your money and didn't win that's your problem. You have no right to call someone incompetent. Who are you? How competent are you at your job?
We need a striker and LW
Ødegaard has been absolutely shocking since he became a father, is he not getting enough sleep or what is it?! I would rather have Setford 1v1 against the opponents keeper than out captain
I've given up...what a golden chance gone...😢
Yeah too many draws. Next season baby! Still hoping for some CL surprises though :)
Totally agree. It will be disheartening to see a new coach for liverpool or a team in turmoil like Chelsea just win the league. No lessons learned in the past two seasons.
Arsenal never give up
never give up on bottling the golden opportunities...
Relax! Trust the boss
5 years, too many poor players. We are done.
What we need is some quality finishing in the final third ……
we need to take our chances especially when we are creating close to none in open play …
we simply can’t afford to miss those
Coygs ❤
We acknowledge the tremendous turn around that Arteta has done for the club and fans, however one needs to know when to ask for help because we are running out of ideas and truth be told the player have reached their peak and it’s time to be more ruthless in attack. The defense is masterclass but our offense needs the headliner type of player. Yes they come with an ego but without one you’ll never be a champion. WE NEED SOME
ARTETA'S ENTIRE ATTACKING PLAN IS TO MINIMISE RISK, NOT TO MAXIMISE OUTPUT.
Just because Everton weren't gonna attack, you can't make the balance of the team to be top heavy.. Arteta only made the subs to keep the energy but ultimately he made the wrong ones and changed so many players to play in different positions
We've experienced the same issues we've had the past 2 seasons. Arteta still can't find a solution to the mid-block, and he still this thinks these attacking players bar Saka can help solve it for him, plus his other issue is he tinkers with the midfield too much Rice is not an 8. We bought him as a 6, let him play there. You look at Chelsea, and you see where their success is coming from them having a stable midfield, Arteta tinkers too much
Wat ever tieney did ,arteta would play partey rb and timber lb and won't play tieney
The substitutions were tactically horrible,I was confused and had no optimism on scoring
Next game he should try Nwaneri on the left side...drop our lazy wingers and see what the boy can do
i was really disappointed on the result we had yesterday
Yesterday game was a most win game for Arsenal but we didn't take our chances and too sad for a team that is hoping to win the league when city is not in form
The Tierney hate is real
We have been facing a lot recently, although all is good. We need the last ingredient by scoring late goals. We need those magic moments again. I lost blood every time we lost points. Gunners❤
Honestly I wouldn’t mind having a experienced manager instead of Arteta sometimes, we can’t be keep losing the league, changes should be made immediately we’ve given him five whole years almost six and two years of the same result and I don’t want it to be three years running we need a new manager
What would you do if you had the power at Arsenal? Would you change the manager, make tactic changes or/and make Jan transfers? You must be realistic.
January transfer is a must at this point. We need a proper upgrade on Martinelli and Jesus.
Those statistics are a bit suss mate. How has Timber managed 96 touches, lost possession 16 times but completed 65/72 passes?
Love from Tanzania
Love the videos❤❤
when i use to say we need one chance one goal striker. many people said we are ok like this. so now it's the time most of you to feel the pain. and this uncle arteta he won't learn anything. when you lose the title past two season. you need to be aggressive and make sure you won't fail the third one. but look this arteta what he's doing. the day we need to make sure that we secure the title race that is the day he's dropping point at he's on ground. you know that your best midfield is. partey rice and odegard but you drop one of them. then later you substitute two of them. the biggest problem of arteta is he can't listen he knows everything. how can you not have one chance one goal striker and you want to win the league. this is headache
Arteta needs to evolve or go!!!
Arsenal never let us down interms of letting us down
I think there is a reason arteta is the head coach so if by now he cannot come up with a strategy to win cups then he is not capable.
We can’t break teams down because we don’t have players who can dribble pass opponents from the middle and from the wings, Saka can’t do all the dribbles.All our players do is run and give passes sideways and back passes. There is nothing wrong going for Kudus and getting a lethal striker!
How did we even go for sterling and watch on for Osimhen to go to Turkey. Which club will do that?!
Peace from San Diego , California
Arteta has reached the peak of his managerial capability. It's not that surprising. He's a relatively inexperienced manager and he's done well to get this far but perhaps someone with more bite would get us over the line
How on earth do you know that? This is a really dangerous comment to make given what he’s done for us and what he can still do. He’s 42 and it’s his first managerial job, what’s he’s done is almost unheard of. A man pep has given countless compliments even before he got the job, Pep called HIM for tactical advice. Patience, Arsenal fans.
Am I the only one who feels like we are playing with 10 men because Havertz sometimes.... Even the worst teams have a profilic striker. Martinelli Vision is also off
Martinelli and Kiwior need an upgrade, Jesus and Zinchenko need to be sold, We need a proper striker with Havertz as backup.
@adebamboowoaje4037 exactly 💯
Not an arsenal fan but bhavss is just on another level
Good morning Bhavss, Im very deflated this morning. Where has our beautiful 1 touch football gone?. We must activate Gyökeres 84mill release clause in January otherwise the premiership slipping away. COYG
Lmao, keep dreaming, we won't even do that in the summer. We'll probably sign nketiah back from palace
The bitter truth is that the title is long gone even before the season started when arsenal was chasing Merino and cala.
The decision not to even attenpt signing a forward or striker is tantamount to lack of ambition in the first place.
Now the coach keep using players out of position just to prove a point.
It's gone already.
@@adelusimayowa3011Why is Arteta solely responsible for transfers lol? It was quite clear Arsenal were trying to strengthen in the summer the forward areas but wanted to wait for the right player. So it is the club's failure.
Look our prem form hasnt been the best but im looking at the CL and we are looking pretty good, we just need a couple good draws and I can see us making the final
Wet dreams 😂😂😂😂😂
Great in depth analysis!
Not sure on how to feel about Arteta now… this might be thin ice for him now
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why can’t you guys see Arteta is managing the minutes of Timber, Partey, Odegaard and Rice!
Bcuz they're senseless. All this TH-cam Arsenal fans feel they understand football Soo much. It's much different on the grass.
I don't think it is much of time management.
It has a lot more to do with using of players out of position and not trusting the squad players that are available.
Of course it's managing minutes! All these TH-cam coaches think they know everything.
Yesterday was the final straw for me sadly. Let's put things into context. Everyone is saying city are in crisis, yet, if they win today, they're on the same pts as us, so what does that say?. A striker, and a lw were literally the 2 positions needed in the summer to really push us over the line, and look at the players Arteta chose to bring in. His inexperience keeps costing us, and the fans deserve better. Arteta is our Brendan Rogers, a nearly man.
Final straw? So you want him sacked?
The problem with Arsenal is Arteta and the board there is no competition among Milkel and the board because if the board give Arteta a warning so that he will know his job is not safe
It's just not good enough, and this goes back to our summer, a striker being needed, and it was not addressed. Now with a couple of midfielders leaving in the summer, we need much more,also martinelli, jesus, zenni,and a couple more players which will be sold.looks like we will need 6 or 7 players. There is too much to do in so little time so forget this year's silverware, not a chance unfortunately.
The problems is just arteta period 😢
A team without striker will always be punished. I saw 2 to 3 opposition players marking Saka alone only because there’s no one to mark. Throw in a prolific striker that can terrorize defenders and saka will free and probably get more goals.
Just baffles me why he can't just play Partey in the middle, he has been our best midfielder this season, and his absence from the middle affects our fluidity. Why play him at right back, and Timber at left back, at a time when we need a goal? That limits are our attack, at a time when we need goal. He literally killed the game by his subs.
He has Tierney who is a natural left footer but won't use him
I'm still trying to understand what prompted such lineup yesterday. I mean why keep partey on the bench and then bring him on to play RB? WTF MAN! Arteta is definitely smoking something.
That’s my main anger with this stubborn goat called Arteta…how do u keep wasting a guy who has been the best midfielder in the team?and his progression with the ball is top notch
This result just underlines the previous two Premier League Arsenal games. No goals from open play for three consecutive games. Seems Arteta's tactics have been sussed by other managers, and nullified. Possession (or according to Arteta "dominance") does not necessarily translate to winning games. For me, another problem is the lack of real quality in depth of talent. Chelsea can rotate six players per game without any drop in quality. Arteta's squad cannot. Hence player fatigue becomes a major factor, affecting performance levels and leading to more injuries. As things are, I can see no chance of winning the Premier League anytime in the foreseeable future.
His arrogance is the reason why we are still struggling,everyone kept complaining we needed a clinical striker but yet he didn’t listen ,teams have learnt our attacking ways and most of our goals come from the right wing and they know Martinelli is just wasteful
We are tooo slow we need speed we dont know how to counter
Arteta is shooting his own foot
Arteta is still the right man for the job. But he needs to have the Pep Guardiola esque spontaneous rotations.
Like Having Havertz start at Left Center Mid, and Jesus getting the occasional start upfront (or at Saka's right wing)+ Zinny at LB or LCM.
I think switching up our already positionally fluid players is all we need.
It really changes up our attacking uproach & opponents' plans.
No, Arteta is not the right man for the job, how aren't you seeing this? It's his inexperience that keeps costing us.
Arteta OUT period he is not the right manager
Yo, you brought the music back 👊🏿
That stat on Havertz is worrying. Saka is our danger man but when your striker isn't having as much impact in the game as him that is very worrying.
We need to get upgrade of these players... Martinelli, haverts,kiwior,jesus and merino...trust me we wont win anything with those dudes...arteta got it wrong in his recruitment...,🇰🇪
Martin and Ethan together make's sense
I don't care about the outcome but those players are not good enough.
Before accusing players, we need to see Arteta leave the Club with the low standards players he brought with him and wasted the Club's funds. While he is around, Arsenal is not going to get better or win any worthwhile Cup. This guy has mental problems.
Havertz for 65 mil and 265 k wages was truly wasste of money, time to move on
@@greatsonchisha6374 Who brought those players? Arteta. He wasted Clubs £800M and achieved no worthwhile cup.
Standards standards standards! Mikel needs to raise them quickly. I think Mikel has a lot to learn and shld be put under more pressure to deliver
Everybody blame arteta when the players not doing what they’re supposed to do well when he goes a next restart
Those two changes were puzzling, especially Rice who was the only one driving forward and showing true intent. My problem is surprisingly the defense, yes the defense! This is part of the problem. They are far too slow in progressing the ball out of their own half. Each time we win a turn over, we allow all eleven opponents to get back in their half and erect the low block which most teams have used successfully against us. This needs to change forthwith. This cause us to be too slow and predictable and most team find it easy to defend against. We have been found out. Clear Coaching problem.
Change of formation to 4231 or 343 might be a game changer for Arteta
We should try Martinelli up the middle; maybe a change in position will kickstart something.
Gotta feel for Sterling.
We need to have a close look at the upcoming transfer window.
What was Raheem Sterling doing on the beach....I don't understand Arteta now...We need a Striker who can score for us.....Am pained 😢
he was chilling at the beach😭😂
Sterling=Jesus=martinelli
Arteta needs to be sanctioned by the damn board...this is unacceptable
Play Partey in his position. Buy a LW who is a killer and a 9 who only knows how to score Goals
I still believe Arteta is the right man for us, m disappointed with yesterday's result but i don't think its time to panick. We need to pick ourselves up n move.
Should be 11/15 and into the next round of the league cup from these next 6
I understand the frustration within Arsenal fans. We cannot just just blame Arteta Only. When our 1st team players are not taking our chances in 1st half seriously against ANY LOW BLOCK.
fact !
Yeah but he’s had 5 seasons to buy some attackers
U know nothing about football management.. Jst 🤫
Arteta is solely to blame.. That's what you get when u refuse to buy a striker and keep employing stupid tatics
@@HenryEBellz need a new winger over a striker martinelli is much worse than Havertz by far
I knew he lost his head when he took MØ out
I was disappointed with Arteta missing the fact that Everton were forcing us to play on the left hand side more and he didn't find a solution for this
That's because he is clueless
We have a serious problem getting the ball in the back of the net the conventional way...none of the shots found their target, against a below par team... We were supposed to be seriously contesting for the championship this year, but I doubt we will be able, the way it goes....
Most likely won't see this comment or reply with your thoughts but I just want to get my feelings out about Arsenal.
We look so predictable when we attack. Everyone's cat, dog, grandmother, grandad, father, mother and child knows how we like to attack. We give it to the right-hand side and hope for the best or a set-pieces. We can't win a title having a front line that can't score or create chances from our midfield. Odegaard and Saka can't do it on their own, they need help.
I know we are in December but we didn't do what we needed in the summer. I feel we should have been more ruthless with certain players, we needed to look at our midfield and our forward line this was the summer to add that extra magic to our team. What we were told instead was we have to sell to buy, like WTF. Why does this always happen when we're so close we don't push that extra mile to get us over the line?
Now I don't normally agree with getting angry on the internet and shouting the manager should be sacked in the morning but I'm not blinded to some of the criticism that has been thrown at MA and some of them I agree with. Now is MA the right person to get us over the line...I honestly don't know now. I have to be honest he only has this season and next season to Win the major trophies we can't keep missing out.
I think there's an underlying reason or reasons why Edu left in the first place. Some deficiency creeping up with Arteta. If he had learned anything from the past two seasons, this is arguably no time to be dropping points.
I dont want to go in on Arteta too hard, mainly because injuries have affected us. But we are struggling because he didn't buy top-quality forwards in the summer. We knew we needed another top quality winger with pace and we didnt get one. We knew we needed a top quality striker...didnt get one.
I know he wants the right profile of players, which i do think is the right thing to do. But we have left ourselves so short up top.
Sterling never convinced me and i still cant understand why we went for him. Jesus hasnt been great for 18-24 months now.
Martinelli can come really good again, im sure, but having the team off balance (playing timber and rice on the left) isnt helping that.
I dont think we can win the league because we are just way too inconsistent. But if we want to stand any hope, then we HAVE to buy and buy well in january. Its as simple as that.
Those fans saying who will replace Arteta if he's sacked. What is the evidence that Arteta is better than other coaches? Where did Liverpool, united, CFC, Brighton all getting managers since ? Arteta is a low mind and pride coach he has reached his peak last sxnhe is not better let him go
With who though? Its a valid question to ask🤷🏽♂️i genuinely wanna know who could do the most for us

Every transfer window all Arteta does is to sign defenders, only Gabriel Jesus and trossard are the only attacking signing he has made in over 5 seasons at the club, I'm wondering how he plans to score goals.
Putting a long passer like Partey at right back. Putting a good finisher like Trossard far away from the goal post. Silly tactics.
Stop playing Partey at right back or benching him.
Let him play DM.
Martineli has got no support in left handside...no 8 no left back overlapping
When Partey doesn't play in midfield. We suffer creatively. Simple as.
So no one has noticed Arsenal's performances in games that immediately precede a must win game like the CL or an important cup game? They are dire! ALL of the games Arsenal have played just before their bigger prize have always been poor. That is why I always bet against them in those games and are yet to lose that bet.
Pls stop betting against us
Liverpool were able to get a draw yesterday because their fans cheered from the beginning to the last minute. The Emirates was as calm as a grave yard which was comforting for Everton. Our biggest problem is the fans at the stadium not Arteta
