Robben for Bayern Munich, did so well coming in of 1 leg on tt2 right side, maybe Saka & Marti can confuse defenders by switching it up during matches.... I don't know if Sterling has any winger switch left him, but he should be good enough on the ball to become a Comfy central cog, I hope, give Cap O a rest in running things in mid.
Don't be fooled. Martinelli cannot take on full backs. All he has is his speed. Arsenal should get a striker and play Jesus on the right while Saka is out.
No one cares. Start the league well and then fizzle out before the run in as usual. Give Arteta another 700 mill and see if he can get an FA/EFL cup, best they can hope for this season.
But DO they really need a striker? Arsenal are 2nd in terms of goals scored without a so-called "proper" striker. That means that several players must be doing the scoring, as a team. If they were to get a "proper" striker, they would most likely have to change their formation somewhat so that they can feed him the ball. That may upset the team chemistry and flow that exists today. If that one "proper" striker gets injured, then what do you do. As it stands now, the opposition don't know who they should be paying close attention to because anyone of the Arsenal players could get it done. And a "proper" striker wouldn't necessarily add more goals than what they are producing now. He may simply be the one who puts it into the back of the net instead of someone else. I think their team chemistry and flow is good and they shouldn't mess with it too much. They would probably do better by just focusing on being more clinical, especially in the final third. Would be better to get backups to some of their critical positions instead. It's too simple to say "Buy a proper striker and you will win everything". Didn't quite work out that way when they had Aubameyang.
As much as ESPN FC pundits constantly target Havertz, he already has 11 goals and 3 assists in all competitions this season by December. Not to mention 15 goals and 8 assists in his last 28 Premier League matches. Likewise, Havertz and Jesus should not be an either/or situation. Both of them should be playing in the lineup together much more often like we saw today. Havertz’s ability to keep things simple and maintain possession is very underrated and overlooked. While Jesus offers an explosiveness in behind and work rate that are both top notch. Far too many people are trying make it an either/or situation with Havertz and Jesus up top. The reality is Arteta should be rotating Havertz and Jesus up top. As well as rotating Havertz with Rice in the 8 position like we saw today. And Jesus needs to stay fit and actually finish consistently.
Why don't you just say 6 goals in the PL, 1 in 8 before today, and 2 in 9 after today? Adding all comps (to make his stats look half decent) but have never talked about his 1 goal in 10 CL games last season, after he became the club's 2nd most expensive attacking signing ever. He's a bang average utility player. Arsenal's attack is more free flowing and creates better quality chances without him, and that is not a surprise when you consider the fact that he's creating a woeful 0.8 chance per90min, despite having the 2nd most touches in the final 3rd after Saka. Imagine that. The chelsea flop cannot create and is a big chance Bottler. He's never, ever, converted more goals than big chances Bottled not even for 1 single season since he's been in the league 😮. Imagine that. He Bottled the most big chances for Arsenal last season which was a big reason why Arsenal lost the league, and followed that up by bottling the most big chances at the Euros that made Germany get eliminated. Bottled more big chances than Barnabas Vargas 😂 Arsenal's best attack is when Odegaard is combining with Trossard, GJ and Saka in the final 3rd.
@4thGenna Because those 28 games coincide with when Arteta moved him to the striker position at the second half of last season. Put 15 goals and 8 assists in 28 Premier League matches next to virtually any other player and you categorically would not hear this constant downplaying of a player. Believe it or not, he’s adjusted very well to playing at Arsenal and he’s a quality player.
@@1stand11 I don't agree because If you put Wissa or Isak up front of that Arsenal teams attack they would score way more goals then Havertz does by a great distance. Clutching a little but its ok I understand why your doing it but logically speaking hes not a striker that will score 20+ premier league goals a season and he never will be.
@@alexischristou3266 People really need to stop saying Isak to Arsenal. It’s not happening. Newcastle are never in a million years selling their top striker to a Top 4 rival. Particularly when he has 3.5 years left on his contract with Newcastle on big money. It’s like the media and Arsenal fans are trying to will it into happening. It’s not happening. Likewise, people keep saying Arsenal need a striker. Why? They haven’t had problems scoring for years and have scored the most goals of any Premier League side in 2024. Their entire team is built around everyone scoring. This whole notion that you need a "proper striker" to score and win league titles is outdated. Arsenal have been a goal scoring machine for the past few years under Arteta because their goals come from everywhere instead of predictably funneling it through a "proper striker."
@@1stand11 thanks for confirming that he flopped for 7 months because of again, below average ability on the ball, and because he flopped in midfield, but was the club's 2nd most expensive attacking signing in history, Arteta never benched him because it would look bad on Arteta so Arteta was forced to advertise him as a CF (to get tap ins) when he's clearly not a CF. All that purple patch of a form and he still Bottled more chances than goals scored last season, and don't make it seems like those big chances Bottled was because he was starting in midfield on paper because you don't Bottle Big Chances from way out in midfield 🤣 is that what you think? 😂 The purple patch was over thus he reverted back to the big chance Bottler that he is by bottling the most big chances at the Euros that made Germany got eliminated, and now again this season has more Big Chances Bottled in the league than goals scored while creating an embarrassing 0.8 chance per90min despite having more touches than anyone else except Saka. This is a 65m player were taking about He's also getting dominated in both aerial and ground duels I've countered everything you've said and added some. He's a utility player and an average one at that
The obsession with striker is silly. City signed Haaland, and they’ve genuinely regress as a team over the three seasons he’s been there. They’be slowly became less fluid. Assuming Arsenal will be better with a striker is a bit too presumptuous. Top teams need someone who is not only a great finisher but is also good all around. That’s a fine balance. During City’s struggles, Haaland is getting one or two chances per game. Outside of that, they’re playing with 10 men on and off the ball.
Regressed? They won the treble in his first season and in his second season won a prem, made a fa cup final, and champions league semi final. Those types of games are always up in the air. If city bring in some younger legs in the midfield, they will be back to being great.
Frank raises a very good point. Gabriel goals came from RW or LW but him playing as a 9, he didn't put the chances away. Yes we won but I still think we need a new 9. Jesus can backup LW or RW
They need a proper striker. Great result today. Overall, arsenal are a great team. But over the league season, it's not about the games they score 5. It's about games like Fulham and Everton where they couldn't get the odd goal that would have secured the points. That's where that hungry goal getting profile makes the difference. In Havertz and Jesus, they have 2 guys who are too passive. Not driven to score goals. They need a proper striker
@@supercellgenius9302 If your talking about the calender year i will have to take your word on it but before you scored 5 today your team had not scored more goals then Brentford for example this season.
@alexischristou3266 go and look at injury table arsenal are not only top they are miles worse than any other team. No coincidence that today they get alot of players back and destroy palace and now lose saka for 2 months
@supercellgenius9302 What agenda? It's not like if they buy the striker, the person will be scoring goals for another team. It will be for arsenals good. They can score 100goals for all I care. If it doesn't win them the league or UCL, what's the point? All the goals you say they scored this year, what did they win? They put 5past Chelsea, 6 past W.ham, did they win the league? No. Because they couldn't find the odd goal agibst Villa, or against Fulham or Westham at the emirates. Is this about winning trophies or not?
@TobiMesh your completely missing the point. They have pushed city close 2 years running but city were best team in europe. They havnt come 2nd cos they dont have a top striker, they have scored a ton of goals. They havnt won the league cos they were 2nd best team not best. They have broken allsorts of records. They need a better lw than martinelli and this year arsenal are top of injury table by miles. They have had horrific injuries
@jeffreyrediel How is it a miracle? They scored the 2nd most goals in the Premier League last season. And have the 3rd most this year. The modern game, and teams like Arsenal, are not solely dependent on strikers scoring. That’s a very outdated version of the game.
Let's be honest, City were better when the goals were shared across the frontline without Haaland. This Arsenal side reminds me of that team. Goals can come from anywhere
🤣🤣🤣 sure with Arteta the bottlejob and the fanbase with 0 standards. Don’t forget to move the goal posts and suck Arteta off once your statement becomes mathematically impossible
They are putting up goals against a bucket side. Every time Arsenal play a big game, havertz and Jesus are nowhere to be found. If they had someone like Isak or Oshimen, they’d be top of the league.
offcourse we need a striker..... we score plenty when the opponent tries to play football with us...... but then something like Everton or Aston Villa comes around and we struggle to put one in.... you cannot win the league being this one-dimensional
these clowns always have to find something about arsenal. Why cant they be professional and do their job right and provide unbiased punditry for once. Sid Lowe is the best . Craig is okay. Stevie is unbiased . Gab MArcotti and Jules are okay. Rest need to improve.
He didn't miss.. they were saved. This striker bs is getting boring🤣🤣 Arsenal has scored 4, 5 goals a game severally within a month. How many clubs can do that??
Arsenal always look good at christmas. Regardless, theyve clearly regressed this season and if youre an arsenal fan, take this result with a grain of salt, because this team has shown multiple times they dont have what it takes. Now theyve lost their second most valuable player. Arteta needs to go. He's completely squandered Edu's efforts. He built this squad, not arteta.
City got striker also right???Come on frank!!!! yeah is it right tht Good n decent striker are bless them have but still needs whole teammates build a good work/understanding/chemistry with the striker if not even tht striker is the deadliest finisher in entire universe still got the team nowhere...
Saka is the best player in the arsenal team but odegaard is the most important player in that team. There are players who can perform Saka's roles, perhaps not as well as saka can, but they'll fill the gap. Theres nobody who can fill an Ødegaard shaped hole in yhat squad and the team breaks without Ødegaard. Ps frank is a moron. Arsenal scored five by four different players. When they click, they don't need a striker.
You need a good striker in Football but a Striker doesn't guarantee wins, City are struggling now, they Have Haaland, but cant win games, they should be scoring every game, if only having a good striker is important, Spurs had a good striker Harry Kane scoring every Year, but didn't win a single trophy with Him, so having a good striker doesn't mean you win every game, he may score and then team will still lose if the others can perform though
Every single game is big in the premier league. You will know that when you drop points against Everton at Emirates. Palace just beat Brighton at Amex 3-1. Now Arsenal beat them, we take it for granted. Each and every single game earns you 3 points. So you got to appreciate and be delighted for each win bro.
man city has a striker that's staying humble
Criticizing Jesus for scoring two goals? You lost it man 😎😎
Somethings wrong with Franks French Onions soup or probably the Vichyssoise 😂😂😂

Scoring 5 good goals against a good Palace side away from home and yet these pundits are not satisfied. What else is there to say?
Martinelli can play on the right. Take his man on and cross in the ball with his right foot. He did it once today and I think they scored.
Saying G.Jesus scored two goals when he wasn't playing as a striker is a stupid argument.
