Something about that Martinelli clip, Arteta has said previously that you need two players in each zone with the ball in it. Martinelli has 4 Newcastle players in his zone and zero Arsenal support. Not only is it sluggish, it’s leaving massive gaps. Crazy that we didn’t adjust.
Yeah, that is what I noticed as well. Merino or Trossard should have made the runs for Martinelli to pass to them or create a pass and move situation. Same with the right hand side. Partey wasn't overlapping like Timber did in the Preston game for instance. I realized that once we outplayed we rarely have a response and all our players are not able to pick themselves up, we need to improve on that. Our awareness was also subpar.
Guys, mark this comment. It will be useful at the end of the season. I noticed that a certain 'new' player plays better in midweek games against lower tier teams (not because of the class issue), because Arsenal plays more attacking and the wingbacks overlap which gives the wingers options. I have seen the wingers waiting with the ball for an overlapping player to grant options in many prem games. Top observation my friends...

I think Arteta has done so well but I question whether he might have missed his chance and he may have reached his ceiling with us, just a thought, I am not Arteta out but I do have reservations
@@gspianoguitar4369 Arteta is one of the best managers in football, he has taken Arsenal from a laughing stock to being one of the best teams in Europe. The only reason we dont have more trophies and titles is because he is up against Pep and City, who have infinite money, and have paid of loads of the referees. he knows he has to win a title soon or he will be out, and reckons the only way to get to 95 points now is trying to dig out wins in a scrappy way. I doubt he enjoys that any more than we do... if you kick him out - who can we get that is better? they are still gonna be up against City & paid off refs. Even Klopp burnt himself out over it.
Edu the player was like that. He left Arsenal when Wenger couldn't offer him the highest wages at Arsenal yet he was always injury prone. He was always in and out of the team but demanded higher pay than legends like TT. Edu is loyal to money. That's his greatest quality.
The truth is he wanted a chance to move up in a senior position. It also helps it’s reported he’s getting a 3x higher payrise. This has been ongoing since summer. We need to move on and focus on the future.
3x the salary increment Nobody without ambition is silly to turn that down Apart from the great signings he had, there are also the flops without naming names that he made, of the 34 signings overall under his tenure
Thanks alot Edu. Arsenal Legend. As for the League I highly doubt we gonna win it. The refs did alot of damage in the beginning, then Mikel got his tactics wrong a couple of times, and lastly the injuries . I was really hoping for the best.
Arteta had to adjust to injuries but sending off don't help. Would the pricks referees say, ever send off haaland, Rodri or foden, or stones? What about manure? Ref has inability to send off the bum Rash his foul to letter of law fit in more than Saliba sending off. Why wasn't maritinez sent off for foul on palmer. This is all corrupt biasedness by refs.

The gap between us and winning any major trophy is Sseko and Niko Williams. The best season are behind us, if we didnt win last season and last season but 1, don't expect any major trophy soon.

DoFs come and go, its one of the positions in a club that sees a lot of movements, ins and outs. He has done a great job, making a mark and one of the most important cog in our rebuild. He is a club legend on and off the pitch, before & after retirement. People have plans, goals they want to achieve, things they want to do and sometimes things happen that makes them abruptly change courses. Its probably the case with Edu too. Doesn't mean he is leaving on bad terms. I wish him all the best and with the way this club is being run, i firmly believe that we'll replace him with someone who is just as good or even better who will help us in achieving our goals.

How about Michael Zorc as our next Sporting Director? In his 24 year tenure as Borussia Dortmund's Sporting Director he oversaw the emergence of a number of fantastic young players from it's academy, and also turned others into superstars...like Lewandowski; Dembele; Haaland; Sancho, and Bellingham! Furthermore, he ensured that Dortmund raked in huge profits from the eventual sale of these & many other players - like Gotze; Aubameyang; Pulitic; Mkhitaryan; Gündoğan; Hummels; Fullkrug, and so on.....Imagine no longer having to go through what Edu put us through...but instead have the most glorious honour & privilege of witnessing Arsenal LIVE TOTALLY UP TO IT'S TRUE POTENTIAL!!! 😃😃😃✌✌✌ Now that would really make up for all of the pain; heartache; humiliation, and depression which we have sadly had to endure for an interminable number of years as die hard Gooners if you ask me!!
Some of us have been shouting for Kudus for 2 years now. I’ve given up on the dream of Williams, Gyokeres, Wirtz or Osimhen. Kudus is very realistic and a huge upgrade to Martinelli and Trossard. Add a target man (like Sesko) and another midfielder (I’ve been calling for Angelo Stiller for ages, seriously check him out) and, well… I adore Arteta and I’ve been Arteta-In since the very first second. But if we win nothing with that team, even I will question him..
I’ve also wanted Thuram for ages (the striker, but would take both). Inb4 he lights it up tomorrow and everyone say “omg we need to get him”. He was free a year ago too..
From the BBC Sport today... Edu is set to take up a role with the network of clubs controlled by the Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis after resigning as Arsenal's sporting director. (Times - subscription required)
I'll be honest, working in corporate there is very little chance he could just resign, and leave with immediate effect unless there was a serious issue, he was fires or if he had given in his notice previously. Obviously it's possible but its very rare.
Not sure if he'll want to leave, but I'm a big fan of Brighton's DOF and how he finds value signings. I don't know how he would do with larger, more expensive signings though
I actually think this could be beneficial for us as Edu dropped the ball a lot and failed to get significant signings over the line for us. Some of the signings have been abysmal also lets not forget Taveres, Viera, Willian, letting ESR go, Pepe etc. We need a more experienced DOF
ESR was right to go. Willian and Pepe (only because of the fee) were disasters but look how many great transfers we made. I don’t need to list them. Odegaard alone, for just 35m too, makes up for any and all bad signings. Never mind the likes of Gabriel, Saliba, Timber etc etc they’ve built arguably the best defence in the world. We’re 2 or 3 players away from being one of the best teams on the planet.
I'm also convinced Edu resign because Josh and his daddy has been refusing to give Edu sufficient money to sign the players he and Arteta wants. Edu wants a striker since last season but Josh refuse so this amplified Edu leaving.
Exactly they are happy with top 4 if we win anything that is a bonus they were exactly the same when they bought the club with wenger, Gasdias the the asset stripper everyone forgets this 😢😢😢😢
Total rubbish, Edu wanted a CEO position he was never going to get at Arsenal, so he decided to leave for a bigger role and a lot more money. Fair enough, that’s business. He was perfect by any means, his recruitment was good to very good, but his selling to realise value has been woeful. Good job done thanks Edu, now let’s upgrade and move on
This is worrying! Here’s why! Discontent backstage filters down and I believe it has already started! I go back to the Wenger time when Wengers right hand man David Dean left! I need to be very wrong with these negative thoughts!
To simplify put it,Edu was very good at his job in building the current squad,but not good enough to get us over the line, Nico Williams and Gyokerez was not meant to fail 😬🤦🏾♂️
90 mill for Kudus yet can't fork out out 70 for Oshimen or 60 for Gyokeres😂😂😂😂 Spot on about Nelli needing support to thrive His game dipped when Zinny became left back over Tierney & began to sparkle again with Calafiori at left back Why? Because Zinny hibernates in midfield unlike Tierny who's an old school LB & Calafiori who alternates the midfield& left wing Arteta also needs to let go of overthinking to have a crack at the EPL trophy Despite taking Arsenal from banter club to top 4 & now title contenders, its time to deliver more aside from a solitary FA Cup having spent close to 3 quarters of a billion in this quest
Monchi at Villa is one possible replacement for Edu. Might be hard to convince him though but im sure salary wise it likely going to be more at Arsenal. We've had prior discussions with him in the past, but we are a much better prospect nowadays.
We should get Gyocheres and Kudus in January. We need them to get us over the line. Viktor as a different type of striker from Kai while Mohammed as a player that can play as a CF, SS, AMF, LW, RW, CM even and he plays there very well with one of the highest work rate and dribble rate in the EPL.
Edu has done a commendable job at Arsenal along with Mikel Arteta. However, change is a part of football so hopefully we replace him well. Also, I would love Arsenal to sign Mohammed Kudus.
Why the hype about Ordegaard? Before the final injury, Ordegaard knew he was not okay yet he decided to play and the national team coach allowed him. He thinks without him Norway will not make it, but Norway won their last game without Ordegaard. Players should put the interest of their clubs first and clubs should jointly assess players in conjunction with National team coach to confirm if the player is safe to play. UEUFA and FIFA are smiling to the bank while clubs are bleeding! Injustice.
Deliver a trophy this season or leave, Mikel. Nothing personal, just that you have had 5 years and nothing. Don’t talk about the FA Cup, that was an Emery team. No top club should have a manager employed for 5 years with no silverware.
meh, should be ok, I doubt many of those players (good and bad) thought: "oh my god, its Edu, I'll sign" I respect Edu and one of the weirdest dreams I've ever had involved him living at the airport for some reason.... Still... meh, should be fine.... as long as we dont get the Chelsea guy.
Not hidden, this has been reported during the start of this season. We should have a better & experienced replacement. This guy's sales & closing deals wasn't elite at all. Moving onto better.
I think plucking names out of the air is not a good idea .What you have to consider are the qualifications you need and who has those qualifications. Edu has been remarkable in that he has allowed Arteta to get much of the credit over the last few years but his contribution has also been immense.
Pablo Marin, Nuno Taverez, Maquinhos, Williams, David Luiz, Fabio Viera, Pepe, Tomyyasu, Zichenko, now and again Sterling 😳 which other players can u remember? Good bargain or bad?

Could the addition of 2 players from Solanke, Olise, Gyokeres, Watkins Ollie, Lookman, and Isak have make Arsenal better, and prevented this present bad results, and make Arsenal competitive this season in UCL? Olise is doing well in his new environment despite the competition for play (Bayern 5 goals 4 assists). Solanke is doing well in his new environment(Tottenham 4 goals, 1 assist), Lookman (Atlanta 6 goals, 4 assists), Watkins (Villa 5 goals) Gyokeres ( Lisbon 16 goals 1 assist)......Why Sterling? why Martinelli? Why Gabjesus? and why forcing Havertz into several roles and the team has no identity. Always looking for magics from Saka😮.
I don't want to believe there is a curse on this club. David Dein left and Arsene became more powerful and slowly lost his marbles. He no longer had someone to listen to who could tell him off. Same can be said of Edu leaving. It is like Dein all over again. The relationship is similar. You can recruit a DoF but the relationship that Arteta and Edu had was the reason why they could transform this team so quickly. I am very worried and don't feel good about this. I don't think we realise how amazing Edu has been. You won't know until he's gone. Big Shame. Big Loss.
I think semenyo from Bournemouth would be a good replacement for trossard because he’s not only a good goal scoring winger he can play striker he has strength he has the dribbling our two left wingers don’t have and he doesn’t hold the ball very long fr
Edu his good, I would give him 10/10. Edu his not the one telling Gabriel Martinelli to miss chanceses or not win the premier league twice. Arsenal need to buy a sharp striker. Viktor Gyökeres is the best
He's been good but also slow we y'all know we had a chance to sign Alexander Isak at a low price but didn't after the price of a player taken now you back with huge amount of money chasing the same player you had chance to sign its so insane let's try someone else
Just admit that you hate Martinelli. Does not matter who we have on the left wing, as long as there is no support, you asking for a miracle on that left hand side.
One wonders if Edu really love Arsenal. What a time to leave Arsenal when the football team is drawing and loosing games. I hope this does not affect the players and Arteta psychologically. In any case we move and look for someone else.
For the fanbase to save Martinelli... We need to to make him cut in.. We need him go dictate 1 2s We need him to dictate where je wants the ball.. This team can give him that
I just came up with another theory, what if Arteta is in on it with the Kronke's pushing Edu out? I mean Edu hasnt really been giving Arteta good transfer windows the way he always lost major signings Arteta wanted and dragging deals for weeks
Am an Arsenal fan but the truth is that we are out of the title race already lets stop dreaming we need a better striker to win this league other teams aint playing as well....

I don't think there's discontent backstage, Edu got a bigger better offer n took it , more important can we get a fitting replacement ?
Nice work Bhavss✌️
Thank u Edu . God bless u for ur good work in Arsenal. More heights on your life endeavours
Send Merino back to Spain
..😂
Give him time
Hmmm... We also want the best for him as he will always be a part of us as a team... As Arsenal fc...
First viewer today again.....good luck to Edu and thanks man.
Keep up the good work bro👍🇯🇲
Don't think Martinelli was done by Edu, might be wrong!
To simplify put it,Edu was very good at his job in building the current squad,but not good enough to get us over the line, Nico Williams and Gyokerez was not meant to fail 😬🤦🏾♂️
90 mill for Kudus yet can't fork out out 70 for Oshimen or 60 for Gyokeres😂😂😂😂
Spot on about Nelli needing support to thrive
His game dipped when Zinny became left back over Tierney & began to sparkle again with Calafiori at left back
Why?
Because Zinny hibernates in midfield unlike Tierny who's an old school LB & Calafiori who alternates the midfield& left wing
Arteta also needs to let go of overthinking to have a crack at the EPL trophy
Despite taking Arsenal from banter club to top 4 & now title contenders, its time to deliver more aside from a solitary FA Cup having spent close to 3 quarters of a billion in this quest
Thanks for the memories
Is what it is, everyone moves on. We need to concentrate on what's happening on the pitch
Monchi at Villa is one possible replacement for Edu. Might be hard to convince him though but im sure salary wise it likely going to be more at Arsenal.
We've had prior discussions with him in the past, but we are a much better prospect nowadays.
We should get Gyocheres and Kudus in January. We need them to get us over the line. Viktor as a different type of striker from Kai while Mohammed as a player that can play as a CF, SS, AMF, LW, RW, CM even and he plays there very well with one of the highest work rate and dribble rate in the EPL.
"get over the line"? I assume you mean the 4th spot line?
We are not getting those players in January....clubs do not want to sell unless the buying club pays crazy money
WELLDONE BHAVVS
As much as we Love him but No One is Bigger than the Club📌
All the best in his new endeavours with Love all the BEST!!!❤
So u were 8 points above city u lost the epl now ur 7points behind u think u can beat them the title race is over bro stop always sugar coating
That's your opinion
Dude shut tf up if you don’t know football
So you are a rival fans watching Arsenal content on an Arsenal channel..... we are clearly in your head!
Edu has done a commendable job at Arsenal along with Mikel Arteta. However, change is a part of football so hopefully we replace him well. Also, I would love Arsenal to sign Mohammed Kudus.
Im excited! 😊
Why the hype about Ordegaard? Before the final injury, Ordegaard knew he was not okay yet he decided to play and the national team coach allowed him. He thinks without him Norway will not make it, but Norway won their last game without Ordegaard. Players should put the interest of their clubs first and clubs should jointly assess players in conjunction with National team coach to confirm if the player is safe to play. UEUFA and FIFA are smiling to the bank while clubs are bleeding! Injustice.
What can we 😢😢😢😢😢
Deliver a trophy this season or leave, Mikel. Nothing personal, just that you have had 5 years and nothing. Don’t talk about the FA Cup, that was an Emery team.
No top club should have a manager employed for 5 years with no silverware.
It makes no sense whatsoever but you see Brighton….i like whoever signs their players we should try and get him just pay him double what he earns now
meh, should be ok, I doubt many of those players (good and bad) thought: "oh my god, its Edu, I'll sign"
I respect Edu and one of the weirdest dreams I've ever had involved him living at the airport for some reason....
Still... meh, should be fine.... as long as we dont get the Chelsea guy.
Hope we target Kvara if we decide to replace Nelli. Would be a dream signing.
Not hidden, this has been reported during the start of this season. We should have a better & experienced replacement. This guy's sales & closing deals wasn't elite at all. Moving onto better.
You are doing well 👍
Wishing edu all the best in his future endeavor🎉🎉
Wish him best. Arsenal should not lose so much form just because Odegaards injured.
Let's bring Thiery Henry in
I think plucking names out of the air is not a good idea .What you have to consider are the qualifications you need and who has those qualifications. Edu has been remarkable in that he has allowed Arteta to get much of the credit over the last few years but his contribution has also been immense.
Pablo Marin, Nuno Taverez, Maquinhos, Williams, David Luiz, Fabio Viera, Pepe, Tomyyasu, Zichenko, now and again Sterling 😳 which other players can u remember? Good bargain or bad? Good return on the players or not? Ramsdale, Emiliano Martinez, Nelson, ESR, Iwobi, Lacazette, Willock...... Did these players deserve to leave Arsenal the way they leave? What is the best way forward for Arsenal to lift the EPL now or next season?

What is the best way forward for Arsenal to lift the EPL now or next season? Could the addition of 2 players from Solanke, Olise, Gyokeres, Watkins Ollie, Lookman, and Isak have make Arsenal better, and prevented this present bad results, and make Arsenal competitive this season in UCL? Olise is doing well in his new environment despite the competition for play (Bayern 5 goals 4 assists). Solanke is doing well in his new environment(Tottenham 4 goals, 1 assist), Lookman (Atlanta 6 goals, 4 assists), Watkins (Villa 5 goals) Gyokeres ( Lisbon 16 goals 1 assist)......Why Sterling? why Martinelli? Why Gabjesus? and why forcing Havertz into several roles and the team has no identity. Always looking for magics from Saka😮.
I don't want to believe there is a curse on this club. David Dein left and Arsene became more powerful and slowly lost his marbles. He no longer had someone to listen to who could tell him off. Same can be said of Edu leaving. It is like Dein all over again. The relationship is similar. You can recruit a DoF but the relationship that Arteta and Edu had was the reason why they could transform this team so quickly. I am very worried and don't feel good about this. I don't think we realise how amazing Edu has been. You won't know until he's gone. Big Shame. Big Loss.
I think semenyo from Bournemouth would be a good replacement for trossard because he’s not only a good goal scoring winger he can play striker he has strength he has the dribbling our two left wingers don’t have and he doesn’t hold the ball very long fr
My problem is inter always play 5 in the middle and Arsenal always find it difficult to break defensive team
Patrick Viera anyone!!!
Marin Odegaard can be the new Sport Director and Captain aswell😅
As a Chelsea fan, I’m sad! He’ll always be fondly remembered for £60mill for Havertz and taking Jorginho and Sterling off our hands! 😢
3:07 Edu has already started working for Levi 😂
We need a sport director who can close deals very faster
Interesting, Arteta become next Wenger... He have powerful to manage this club,,, management, transfer etc 👍
Which home hit is Bhav wearing? Very nice shade of red and I like the round collar.
Just get reader the manager 2.If I ado goes , get riddy the manager
Edu his good, I would give him 10/10. Edu his not the one telling Gabriel Martinelli to miss chanceses or not win the premier league twice. Arsenal need to buy a sharp striker. Viktor Gyökeres is the best
Arteta must be cooking something.. The GOAT manager is going to take up BOTH roles and win Arsenal the Quadruple this season
He's been good but also slow we y'all know we had a chance to sign Alexander Isak at a low price but didn't after the price of a player taken now you back with huge amount of money chasing the same player you had chance to sign its so insane let's try someone else
10:31 Isolated? His not worldclass, he has to left is head up & dribble through spaces rather than being guided by the touch line.
Just admit that you hate Martinelli. Does not matter who we have on the left wing, as long as there is no support, you asking for a miracle on that left hand side.
Fiddled the transfer and agent fees
With Havertz as a main striker you can't win a major trophy.
Didn't Chelsea win the Champions League because of Havertz??? His goal won them the trophy. So can you explain your statement please?
Stupid comment
Arsenal should go for Liam delap the ispwich winger and kudus and Rutter from Brighton as backup for Odegard
One wonders if Edu really love Arsenal. What a time to leave Arsenal when the football team is drawing and loosing games. I hope this does not affect the players and Arteta psychologically. In any case we move and look for someone else.
Support Edu not exposing him to ridicule
Maybe we'll finally sign a striker/winger now
For the fanbase to save Martinelli...
We need to to make him cut in..
We need him go dictate 1 2s
We need him to dictate where je wants the ball..
This team can give him that
I just came up with another theory, what if Arteta is in on it with the Kronke's pushing Edu out? I mean Edu hasnt really been giving Arteta good transfer windows the way he always lost major signings Arteta wanted and dragging deals for weeks
Am an Arsenal fan but the truth is that we are out of the title race already lets stop dreaming we need a better striker to win this league other teams aint playing as well....
