Good analysis on Martinelli. I honestly think he has become our weakest link in attack. Whenever he has the ball his eyes are almost always on the ground. Very predictable in trying to dribble defenders and very bad decision taking. There are flashes of his talent here and there, but he just has to improve a lot.
Hes not extrmely good. Vinicius jr. Is "extremely good". Saka is "extremely good". Martinelli is highly talented. However at the moment he is not at or nesr the top of his game. Trossard whos is much older and nowhere near as quick and skillful with his footwork is the 1st pick and is way more impactful. A few good flashes and a highlight video on youtube doesn't make you an amazing player @annewalden3795
Thanks for remembering Freddy Lumberg! He was awesome. Henry is on some serious points here. A few days ago I was going off on a group of friends on why the hell wingers don't finish the line and cut back in. It's the ultimate threat that stretches and splits every defense.
Martinelli is not as good as Saka, but the bigger problem is the lack of support on the leftside. When he had Xhaka there and Martinelli was allowed to move in the middle, receive the ball there and take risks, his off the ball movement is really good and he also has a instinct for a goals inside the box. That's why he scored 15 goals a season, not even 2 years ago. The difference is, he seems to be clued to the sideline now, not allowed to move inside until somebody comes to pick up his position, which is not natural for him. When G.Jesus was at his best or Trossard played false 9 and Xhaka was there, they would change positions with him, allow him to make runs in the middle and also have the ability to slip passes through the lines. But Rice is a CB by trait so doesn't have the Vision for that, Merino is useless and Havertz as the striker never attacks the front post and always occupies Martinellis prefered space in the box, the back post. Just look at from where he scored most of his goals here: th-cam.com/video/zkj2HMza5rc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gUa10Jnjm2ODlKh3 And also look where and how he receives the ball compared to now. Nevertheless, Martinelli is a gooner and is working his socks off every game defensively, so I won't slate him to much.
true, cant always blame the player, sometimes its the surrounding players who make them look bad. but i still think martinelli looks super insecure in his decision making.
True, and I noticed that too. But, Pepe said afterwards that anytime he had the ball upfront there was no one to help so he had to come back. In pepe s time. Hope Martilleni is not thinking the same now
@@opeyemi2077so underrated, his pricetag made people blind, he had better stats than Sancho, Mount and Anthony put together in his first season, y’et people mention him as a “flop”.. He was playing in the worst Arsenal team, y’et produced those numbers?
The lack of dribbling skills, close ball control when under pressure, inability to play through the middle, lack of pace are the major issues of this current squad. If the players had all the attributes I mentioned, everything Henry mentioned would be possible. Liverpool got these players, even Brighton, Forest, Fulham, Bournemouth have those players. Players that can change the problem would be. Ederson from Atlanta, any winger with dribbling skills, pace and power would help and a striker that can move, dribble and shoot would massively help. The reason our players get yellows for being extremely slow when taking free throws is because of lack of movement to create space to receive the ball and that is the result of lack of all the things I mentioned, they all get knocked off the ball easily during free throws so they get scared to receive it. Gabriel and Saliba take too long to pass the ball to midfield especially Gabriel. We pass the ball to full backs then teams surround the full backs and take possession away. We need full backs that can dribble past players and cut inside to disrupt opponents shape and pressing. I can go on and on, but what puzzles me the most is how highly paid professionals can’t see this problem in the squad.
Yeah martineli used to just run at defenders and they would panic a bit. Now, they all realise that’s all he does, so they just stand still and he runs into them… it’s laughable
@R-D-1-g6h Perhaps Martinelli is waiting for one of his team mates to get into the correct position. At least Martinelli played energetically and had a couple of shots on target against Newcastle.
I actually think we have a decent team except the offense. We're in serious need of a striker and a better winger. Martinelli and Havertz just isn't no where near good enough.
Am sorry guys, but we nolonger need martineli, we need lookman guys, lookman is very offensive and another thing is, we need a backup plan for bukayo saka and as per-now, we need mbuemo, His gat good pase, quick decisions when it comes to releasing the ball to the strikers
MA needs to put his arm around Martinelli and tell him that he is going to start him in the next six games and play him for the entire game and not sub him at any time. Tell him that he needs him to perform - take players on at every opportunity and don't worry about losing possession high up the pitch. He needs to give Martinelli confidence. Not keep benching him or or subbing him off after 70 minutes.
Arteta will do what he can for each player but he can't wave a magic wand and clear out the virus from the dressing room. Unfortunately we live in the real World and have to manage with what we have.
Costs arsenal' a very good end chance two seasons ago against Liverpool away. Didnt look up to see the run from saka. Made terrible errors when it comes to assessing and creating. Has not changed mucb since.
I think we all think Martinelli is quicker then he actually is, and also knows this, that he isn’t actually that pacey, just a lil bit. So he can’t actually rely on his pace to beat players, which is actually his only taken on ability.
I think something isn't right with Martinelli physically. Since that injury he had in February of last year, he has never been the same. You just don't see that drive, that power, that energy from him anymore. Something isn't right. He always had flaws in his game, but he hasn't looked this bad since he just recovered from that big injury he had a few years ago, when he just broke into the starting XI under Arteta.
One of the biggest problem in the team right now is him(Martinelli)..Too much pressure on Bukayo and players have now known that he's the main man and all that pressure is caused by Martinelli..The Brazilians I know before can take on defenders one on one and make a creative crosses,but him!!he's so selfish sometimes and as an attacking midfielder doing so many back passes instead of acrosses too bad.

He ‘only cost us 6 mil’ because we bought him at 17 from a 3rd tier side in Brazil. He’s 23, far from his ceiling, but he can’t play that side alone in a team that’s expected to challenge.
Liverpool players move the ball more fluently and efficiently. They play the Liverpool way because Liverpool plays this distinctive way no matter which manager is in charge.
Link one then? As an actual Arsenal fan, i'll wait. It's called constructive criticism so find me a true Arsenal fan that disagrees with Henry when he's speaking truth.
Everyone in Liverpool looks like they’ll run at you. Arsenal are at times the kings of the sideways ball. One of those ways of playing defeats a low block and the other way achieves nothing. No rocket science about it. You need a healthy mix of both.
U are so correct ..liverpool is the apex this season so far ..I enjoy watching them play even as an arsenal fan..we are way to slow in our build up ..only saka takes on defender and run at them
Henry hasn’t grasped well the system of the manager. Martinelli is not the only player making reverse passes when it’s 1v1 situation. The Manager’s System heavily depends on the ability of the team in making chances through half spaces but not the wide channels. In my view, Matenelli’s reverse passes are unsuccessful because of the limitations of the left back and midfielders nearby. The Pukayo Sako partnership with Odegaard is successful because of the art and creativity of Odegaard. To compare, Matinelli and Sako play similarly with reverse passes to penetrate deeper into the box and Odegaard is the difference.
Martinelli is not defending players right now arteta is let him play defense and attacking just think about your self if you are running up and down the field do you think how much energy you have to give yourself to play the full game and arteta was never played like martinelli so lets sack arteta and bring attacking managers
I so wish former players and analysts must always show support to the current crop of players like Ian Wright does.we know some of them were he best and at the end of the day Arsenal won 👌🏾✨
If only Arsenal had a left winger who could beat his man and put crosses into the box. Oh wait, they do. Raheem Sterling. But weak man Arteta is afraid to use him. Go figure.
Obvious Martinelli is not that effective on the left side as much as Saka,,,,May Martinelli can play as CF than LW and i have noticed a lot of poor decisions that he makes and end losing the ball unnecessarily.
@@TwoieHarris we played 60 + minutes against Bournemouth with 10 men - how predictable did you want them to be ? And a point against a decent side like Fulham is no disgrace. We can't win every game you know ? Nobody does.
It seems you don't know who is talking, that is Thiery Henry, go watch the tapes, him on that same wing. RBs worst nightmare, you never want to be 1v1 with Henry in that position, you are DEAD!

Arsenal are too predictable to be taken as Champions.
Martineli might have seen this and improved his game
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice joke mate
Martinelli can be the player that can give serious problems to Vini Jr but his decision making is terrible
Serious problems to WHO??😂 You don't know football

@ fair point
