Number 6 players are so overlooked and underrated. Fans always look at strikers and wingers, but they hardly notice what #6 players do to the team, until they're missing.

Was'nt monsterous when he was bullied out of the game Away at SJP against Newcastle.. Ordergaard a big plus Still aint got the fire power to win the title
Man City are throwing games as part of a behind the scenes 'saving face' so instead of being stripped of titles, sued, humiliated and relegated, they'll just let everyone else win for the next 20 years and pay off all the clubs who lost prize money and maybe got relegated, which they have the money to do, but don't tell anyone about the money, lolz
Jack Wilshere made a telling comment about Arteta’s Arsenal. He said, the way they play is actually very complicated, not many players can do it. They’re like a Ferrari, if the tuning is out, if the Woodruff Key isn’t perfect, it just won’t happen. But if it’s tuned, they can be scary good. But the fans! They think it’s easy to play like this. Odegaard injured? Just play Ethan Nwaneri! I remember when Odegaard started getting game time, he looked like a genius playing with 9 others clueless about what he’d do next. Took about 2 years for the others to catch up. Don’t ask a 17 year old to impersonate Odegaard, he’ll fail! The Arsenal old skool don’t appreciate this is football at a higher level even than Wenger achieved. It’s 2024, not 2004. 17 year olds can’t just step in when say Odegaard gets a knock.
Yeah, I said the same thing when saliba got injured, people said it's just one player,, but Holding playing ther affected the whole system, like a ripple effect.
A fully fit Partey is a better 6 than Rice. Surely underappreciated. Gyokares did not have a sniff in the first half because he was on the side of Saliba who never lets anyone breathe. In the 2nd half, he shifted to Gabriel's side and got a few shots off. Saliba is Surely world class.
No he's not, why do you think he has to be constantly paired with rice, if he could play the lone 6, partey can't switch effectively anymore and his long balls are often 50/50, he's one of the reason we mostly depend on our right side
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬 I love you Alice although I am an Arsenal fan but I hardly miss your analysis..... Purely Unbiased like other United fan channels. Keep it up ❤
Arsenal is a different beast when Odegaard is playing and they seem to be picking up form. Meanwhile Rodri’s 115FC is going to have a hell of a time this weekend against table leaders. A must watch game for sure
You have to talk up Partey Boy. He takes a lot of stick for glass legs etc but when he finds the groove he is one hell of a ball carrying midfielder. There’s an Arsenal tradition of comparing everyone unfavorably to Vieira/Petit, but that bar is high. Abou Diaby hinted that he could clear it but then just kept getting crocked. But Diaby was bloody good when fit. Ditto Partey. He strides like a Colossus WHEN FIT! That role is extremely demanding and you either take the Jorginho route and economise or you do the Partey, just let rip til another muscle goes ‘PING!’ Partey with two good legs is just a joy to behold.
we got the arsenal back from 2 years ago. not the conservative last year, the free flowing arsenal we had in our first title charge. pedal to the metal
Saka is a lefty playing out right. Have you noticed how much better he’s getting on his right peg? That is just hard work and dedication. Hats off to the Buke.
That face in your thumbnail Alice 😅 This Premier League season is about to heat up big time but for Arsenal to catch us, they need to plead for us to drop points and they cannot afford more slip ups. Exciting times ahead 😎
Timber/Calafiori haven’t even started to play yet. They’re both not wanting to over stress, get another strain, and out for another month. These guys are very very good. Just wait til they stop thinking about aggravating their last strain.
Saka is easily the most consistent player in the league, in my opinion he’s ahead of palmer and foden purely on his consistency. He has to do more than palmer and foden and still has unreal numbers
Partey doesn't even have those passing range anymore, he's no longer the octopus, he can't effectively switch players and his long balls are atrocious, the amount of times he tried to play long balls to saka only for it to be intercepted easily, times again was frustrating
Yay we’re good again! What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Arsenal were phenomenal. That said, I hope they tied up Gyokeres and brought him back to London on the plane. All kidding aside, I thought that match really showed Arsenal’s solid squad depth. With the way they played today (and Saturday against NF) you’d forget that we’ve lost Benny Blanco for a couple of months, that Rice is still recovering, and that we’re only now close to 100% fit.
The Arsenal problem is still this fine tuning thing. They still occasionally turn up and for no apparent obvious reason just look sterile! Wenger had a phrase for this, ‘sterile domination’. He’d say ‘we controlled the game, the game was ours, but the domination was sterile!’ We still turn up sometimes, full strength, and within 30 mins you know, they’re going to bang their heads against a brick wall here! Solve this problem and the world is their oyster.
Without Amorim, and with a coach who has never managed a professional team in his career, he changed the dynamics to show that he is capable of replacing Amorim. He simply made too many mistakes. Edwards would never play under Amorim if he didn't have anyone on the left to help the defender and protect against Saka. Arteta was intelligent and understood that Pereira is not Amorim and could win easily by simply applying pressure to every position on the field.
Martin has brought back the skill and vision, he's also brought back the forward press. Some players make their entire team tick, Rodri does that at City and Martin does that for us. With our future 3 fixtures in the Champions League I am confident that we will end Quali in a top 8 position.
What a score arsenal probably played fantastic there starting to hit form never seen the game I watch Bayern psg with 5 1 I probably should have and we had 40 goals in ucl today
That was arsenals strongest 11 last night. I think people are projecting what xhaka did to merino. He isn’t that player. The midfield will get a rebuild in the summer.
Saka missed his pen in that Euro finals shootout. Since then he’s Arsenal’s go-to pen taker, don’t think he’s missed yet. Sometimes Odegaard looks him in the eye and takes it himself, but mostly Saka is Arsenal’s pen taker. We used to regularly fuck up pens, not any more. Either Saka drills it in or Odegaard steps in, and drills it in.
So taking a wider view, last 2 season in a row arsenal were on a 100 pt pace (i.e as good as the best ever team in english history) for 50% of those seasons, a run was inevitable, the run starting now is very very promising, if we maintain to the end of the year we vould be looking at domestic trophies and 94 ish points and hopefully a semi final appearance in the UCL. None of this would be suprising given the last two years. The question really is will liverpool have 90+ pts at the end of the season?
I disagree with saka being central. He is so effective out wide because he has a bit of time when he gets the ball. In the middle you have next to no time and after what the pposition players have seen, they would crunch him even more. He is terrifying for teams out wide and I love it
I don’t understand the disrespect Zinchenko gets. He’s a name that’s gone out of football, he’s a ‘schemer’. They are high-risk, imaginative players, you can be a schemer in just about any position but few teams employ them now. I love to watch the disruption Zinchenko causes when he goes infield and starts scheming. The drawback is when you go ‘where’s our left back he’s up there scheming!’ but I for one would be sad to see Zinchenko leave. When he gets it right he can cause mayhem.
I don't agree with taking Partey out for the sake of Merino. I love Partey and I enjoy this formation of Partey 6 and rice 8. It brought out the best of Rice last season, and if he continues like that, and how well Partey has been doing now that he's fully fit, this is the best Arsenal 11.
You are not a true Arsenal fan honestly. How on earth can you overlook the performance of Thomas Partey in our midfield ? That agenda drop Partey for Rice MUST STOP ASAP
All of these TH-cam " influencers" are desparately trying to sell us Declan > partey. The only problem is we have eyes😂. It's not even a consideration. If I was Declan I would learn to play left 8. Take my mind off 6 that position is filled.
At least from the performance of this game, Gyokeres isn't miles better than Havertz. But he looks miles better than Zirkzee. MU needs him more than Arsenal. Partey is also the unsung hero of this game. Number 6 players are so overlooked and underrated. Fans always look at strikers and wingers, but they hardly notice what #6 players do to the team, until they're missing.
Anyone who fails to mention Thomas Partey being in Arsenal's strongest line up this season (of all seasons) has failed in their analysis! Period!!!!! IT'S LAUGHABLE!
That's because partey isn't exactly better, have you asked yourself why we've kept on playing rice, even when that left 8 isn't his strong suit, the moment merino clicks, partey is going back to the bench
Alice you have a southern accent and need to switch to a south accent team. Get baptised in an Arsenal shirt and be made a new person with exciting times ahead 😊😂
This is an Arteta tactic used last season as well. Start slow cos its impossible start & finish strong, then after last international break, boom. Oh, and enjoy the ignorant idiot meltdown for every dropped point in the meantime
Even if Declan Rice were to get to his best form he would still sit on the bench. He is not in Partey class at all. Not even close. The truth is he never was. This Rice thing is all English hype it's not based on reality. He is a decent backup to Jorginho. He needs to make the left 8 his and play some good football because really Merino is looking good.
Thomas partey this season absolutely been our best midfielder timber and Calafiori so so key to our fluidity
Number 6 players are so overlooked and underrated. Fans always look at strikers and wingers, but they hardly notice what #6 players do to the team, until they're missing.
Saka Foden comparison tells a person’s ball knowledge. Absolutely spot on by Alice as always.
I saw Arsenal clear a ball from the back, and Timber was up top, receiving the ball, and bringing his teammates into the game. Timber was phenomenal
Timber's technical ability will be there for everyone to see if he stays fit and plays more games.
Arsenal fan here. I really admire the work you put into these post match videos.
When Alice says she's worried that means deep down she's excited , elated & happy Arsenal are looking powerful again she absolutely gushing our praises with passion . Our secret Arsenal fan. . Excellent breakdown from Alice
Timber is a monster.
Was'nt monsterous when he was bullied out of the game
Away at SJP against Newcastle.. Ordergaard a big plus
Still aint got the fire power to win the title

Spot on Jack. This is different level stuff for sure.
Great analysis. Timber is special. Partey has been so good and can't be dropped. Merino over Rice.
Agree with you Alice, I think in time, Timber is going to be one of Arsenal's best players and World Class.
If he is not over played or stays fit
A fully fit Partey is a better 6 than Rice. Surely underappreciated. Gyokares did not have a sniff in the first half because he was on the side of Saliba who never lets anyone breathe. In the 2nd half, he shifted to Gabriel's side and got a few shots off. Saliba is Surely world class.
Better offensively, better forward passing. But I don't think there's a better 6, defensively, in the world than Rice.
No he's not, why do you think he has to be constantly paired with rice, if he could play the lone 6, partey can't switch effectively anymore and his long balls are often 50/50, he's one of the reason we mostly depend on our right side

I wouldn’t put it past citeh to go and win at Anfield
The numbers that Saka is getting are amazing, and if you take in to account his defensive work it’s almost unbelievable.

Well done and we’ll deserved
Odegaard is the player we wished Ozil would be, the elegance + the hard work makes for an amazing 10

Saka is a lefty playing out right. Have you noticed how much better he’s getting on his right peg? That is just hard work and dedication. Hats off to the Buke.
I like Licha but imo we bought the wrong defender from Ajax. Should have went for Timber instead of Martinez. What an absolute monster of a player.
Ten Hag wanted Timber at first but he decided to stay at Ajax because of van Gaal
The following season, he came to Manchester but I don't know what exactly happened? Glazers are shit
No bias and just speaking truth. Thank you
Every player gave 100% they deserved that fantastic win
I gave the team MOTM
Hello from St.Lucia 💯
youre vid has only just started and i already know its gonna be good!
That face in your thumbnail Alice 😅 This Premier League season is about to heat up big time but for Arsenal to catch us, they need to plead for us to drop points and they cannot afford more slip ups. Exciting times ahead 😎

Saka is easily the most consistent player in the league, in my opinion he’s ahead of palmer and foden purely on his consistency. He has to do more than palmer and foden and still has unreal numbers
Do you mean most consistent English player or are you just pretending Mo Salah doesn't exist 🤔
I disagree with you. I don't think Rice is a better 6 than Partey. He just doesn't have the passing range that Partey have.
Partey better right now and in better form but long term it will be rice
Partey doesn't even have those passing range anymore, he's no longer the octopus, he can't effectively switch players and his long balls are atrocious, the amount of times he tried to play long balls to saka only for it to be intercepted easily, times again was frustrating
@ECILAFootball But it's not about long term anymore for Arsenal. It's now and currently I feel Partey as a 6 is soo much better than Rice.
Partey is the best midfielder along with odegard

Another top analysis Alice- one of the best there is!
whenever Timber and Calafiori play, Arsenal are so comfortable on and off the ball
I thought at least you would acknowledge the performance of Partey. Most of the people disregard him
That's because there's way too many inconsistency in partey's game
Just to correct you Alice, Arsenal's strongest 11 is with Partey in the mid not Rice
Timber was Man of the Match for me
To all United fans, Amorin's Sporting team in full display against Arsenal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Without Amorim, and with a coach who has never managed a professional team in his career, he changed the dynamics to show that he is capable of replacing Amorim. He simply made too many mistakes. Edwards would never play under Amorim if he didn't have anyone on the left to help the defender and protect against Saka.
Arteta was intelligent and understood that Pereira is not Amorim and could win easily by simply applying pressure to every position on the field.
You worry too much, Alice. This year you will probably have much to worry about as both Liverpool and Arsenal are (and hopefully stay) good. 😃
I need a show with Alice and Nieve together ❤
Will be 🔝🔝🔝

Liked your analysis but Thomas Party should be in that midfield he sooo good and technical
Declan is not better than Partey a fully fit Partey is the best midfielder in the league
Rice is a better defender as CDM.
Partey is better with his passing and ball control.
They both good and I’m happy they play in ours club.
