Hey guys - appreciate all the love on this. Wish I could reply to you all individually but I read everything and appreciate all feedback. Please do send this on to your Arsenal supporting mates! ❤

You are a hidden gem.
You're forgetting one critical factor that has contributed to this.... He absolutely loves Arsenal Football Club. For him it's not a job, he's at a place he wants to be because there's an emotional attachment between him and what he wants for Arsenal. All his decisions on and off the field takes into account the culture and wellbeing of the club.
Those who listened to his first media speech as Arsenal manager would know. It brought tears to my eyes. Here was a manager who knew the hurt and pain the fans were going through for decades.
Agreed. Even his first interview as a player for Arsenal shows signs to come. th-cam.com/video/73GnN3zGh4k/w-d-xo.html
You nailed it bro.
Wengerite is what he is a chip off the old block 👌🏿
He joined Arsenal when two of our best midfielders left town. I instantly fell in love with how he played. That Aston Villa free kick, and goal against Man City still stick with me. :)
Fun Fact - Arteta did all this while still having hair on his head.
And his hair is perfecto
Wenger kept it for 22 years🤣
Unai kept it for a year too🤣
Rob holding got his hair back also🤣
Safe to say we grow hairs and players😊
COYGS❤️
😂😂
My dad is convinced it’s a wig
@@kaidenhall2718 that's a lego helmet not a wig lol
People compare Arteta to Pep. Pep is undoubtedly good, but he has never had to dredge a team out of mediocrity in the midst of the most acrimonious discord between fans and the team, a pandemic, a complacent and bloated dressing room.
And a toxic, biased media
his first season at barca
love your content dude. this is what arsenal fans actually want and need to hear, not that agenda-led rubbish on sky sports.
Fax , the way he Teach really unusual like the other manager
😂
@@monirdoctor what’s funny bro
Great synopsis, like Wenger did when he came to the UK, Arteta is helping to re-define the rules. Current pundits can't stand it because they can't fit him into their usual boxes of 'what they know'. He's literally putting everyone into an uncomfort zone and we all know that's where growth happens. He's coaching us all! ;-)
I saw that too myself. His team reminds me of Arsene’s, but with better defenders and finally a CDM we’ve been crying out for for many years. His tactics do remind me of Pep, however.
@@Godspeedysick He is more pragmatic than Pep. he reminds me of Ancelotti
@@Godspeedysick He played under great managers and every one of them have teached him things that he combines and applies today in Arsenal.
@@looniaz Exactly this. Everyone talks about Wenger and Pep, and rightly so. But not many people realise that Moyes is also another big influence; set-pieces. He even hired a specialist coach for it and you can see the immense improvements in defensive and offensive set-piece organisation because of it.
@@looniaz yup thats my thought too he is so smart and i be the was just so intently listening to everything he learned from Moyes, Wenger, Pep probably even Advocaat and top coaches at La masia and beyond. SO tired of the peps student narrative. Pep ASKED him to come to City because Arteta knew the EPL better and Pep already respected his tactical understanding having heard his advice when Pep was at Barca facing English teams in the KO rounds. Arteta is class and I honestly feel his tactics are more fluid than City's, the defense is better, the set pieces are better and we have some more physicality. They have the more experienced and more expensive squad.. thats their advantage and that advantage may eventually lessen as well.
This is ARteta's FIRST job too and he may well win the league in his 3rdseason the same as Pep did at City even tho HE took over a team with -Yaya Toure, kompany David Silva Aguero then spent MORE than ARteta (more than 500m in his first 2 years). Arteta took over mustafi lazy Ozil Sokratis etc.. jeepers. Pep also won it after Arteta joined and first time he lost it was after he left.. coincidence? 🤣
Arteta has removed ALL the toxicity from the club! Players, back room staff. Let alone what he has removed from the fans. The team has become whole! All encompassing ALL on the same page! Losing all the negativity that was sucking the life from the club! He’s not done yet! Each season his passion pushes him on! He’s on a mission and that mission has woken the fan base to once again “believe”! It’s been way too long for the supporters and fans to be in this position and I am so happy to see this squad play and develop under this manager that not so long ago was on the edge of being sacked! The emirates is loud and proud and for the first time for me “home”! Long may this development continue. Watching this team this season has been a total pleasure.
@Critical Strike Forge only the idiots
You have a point. Arsenal's problems weren't one or two. it was a complex thing more related to what was happening behind the scenes rather than on the pitch. you have to fix the basis first, then start building. "First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too"
Completely agree with you on all your points (but one) and absolutely LOVING these changes as well, especially hearing our fans sing louder than everyone else, but we still have so much toxicity in the fanbase, sadly...
Soon as any of our players put one foot wrong, they're being lynched on social media and all by their own "fans" 💀
We absolutely still have some of the most toxic supporters - sadly! It's vile and arguably our second greatest hurdle that we have left, after of course winning the PL title again.
Really wish we'd all just enjoy this ride and take the (VERY RARE!!!) L's on the chin, support our players and do everything we can to fight alongside them. Granted, we do absolutely have some amazing supporters that do just that, but imagine if it was all of us.
@@violentwatcher7138 true. Look at Liverpool's fans. The team never walks alone. So must be our. We must not add pressure. The stadium must become a nightmare to every rival.
Agreed. Arteta and Saka are so underrated hell Arsenal Football club has always been so underrated, nobody talks about us enough and are quick to make jokes about us.
Saka is the best in his position and role in the World right now, has been since he broke through as a 17 year old. So pleased he resigned, he's at his home at Arsenal but he still needs to be paid his going rate in wages.
I think the negative perception of Arsenal over the years has hugely affected the clubs reputation. So much that it will take years of success to regain its reputation. The ripple effect of this reputation destruction is that it will be very hard for a player or manager attached or connected to the club to get a fair positive rating by the outside world. A player has a better chance of winning the Ballon d'or playing for West Ham or Brighton than they will playing for Arsenal and producing the same performances. That's how bad it has gotten. Once someone is connected to Arsenal all people focus on are the person's shortcomings while ignoring the person's great qualities. Those shortcomings are what people outside of Arsenal (or even within the fan base) will only chose to remember, hence making it almost impossible for anyone connected to the club to be highly rated.
@@iykeharrison9161 A player DOES NOT have a better chance of winning the ballon for at west ham or Brighton 🤣
I don’t think that’s 100% true. They talk about us and MU quite often. I think if we win the league then certainly, that gets ramped up even more now.
That's funny
This is certainly a different knock😎
Arteta is no joke. He always knew what he needed to do before he implemented what he is implementing right now.
Pep has been telling us for a while arteta is a monster.
I remember earlier when a journo asked Pep: "Aren't you worried that you've created a monster?" to which Pep replied: "He was always a monster to start with".
@@darthwiizius That "journo" was Rio ferdinand
Pep even said Arteta knows everything
The man came into his interview with the Kroenkes with a powerpoint presentation of the seven "steps" of his process that he felt needed to be used as a measurement for what he wanted to achieve. He *knew* what he wanted to do before he was even hired. And the thing is? As others have said, this was his first job. He was trying to juggle hitting those first two steps with getting the hard yards done. Learning how to man manage, learning how to be in charge of all of the coaches, working with Edu, and so on.
And when he was talking earlier this season with... was it Michael Owen? It was someone who's been hard on him all year, Mikel was very ready to say they were well *ahead* of schedule. We weren't supposed to be this good yet! I was saying we just needed to focus on Top 4 before the season began, and then next year look to take on Pool and City, and instead, we fucking did it *this* year, despite our depth issues, despite our youth and inexperience, despite being in Europa.
Arteta isn't just a generational manager, I honestly think if he continues on this path, if he continues to work magic here at Arsenal or at other clubs, here in about 20 to 40 years time, he may very well be in the "Greatest manager of all time" conversation. *That's* how good he is.
It’s so refreshing to finally hear someone say what I’ve been thinking and feeling about Arteta since his first (half) season at the club. I truly believe that no other manager in the world could have taken on the absolute mess Arsenal were in before he had arrived and manage to turn them into the team and club that we are now witnessing with our own eyes, not only in the effective and methodical manner that he’s successfully managed to do it in but also how quickly he’s managed to turn the tide around. Absolutely phenomenal. As mentioned in the video, he truly is a once in a generational talent and we should be honored and proud to have him at the helm fighting for the club. COYG!!!!!!
Exactly 💯! I've been irritated by how little recognition he's got over the three years at Arsenal. Factoring in all the circumstances like Covid, the club having less money than their rivals, it being his first job, and the unbalanced squad he inherited it's frankly a miracle he even has the job three years on. It's a testament to his ability to communicate and represent the club because he makes it look normal and it's got most people fooled that this is normal.
Arteta being a former player and his absolute love for the club amplifies how good it feels to see him lead the Gunners
That hair is the give away. He is an AI robot🤖🤖🤖🧠🧠🧠👀👀👀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have put words on my thoughts, I was laughed at last year, when I said Mikel will be one of EPL greatest manager, and when he does, I hope he still manages Arsenal.
I didn't know how to put it as eloquent as you did in this video, but I can see how he slowly but surely get Arsenal back on track...
Yes we have a generational manager in our club! One that will be remembered as one of the greatest...
Dude, you should be having more than 1m subscribers. Your content is so much above the status quo. Keep up the good work. Great to have someone see what most "so-called" genius struggles to see!
I'm a United fan, and for years I called Arteta the United version of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. But its true. Arteta really is a generational talent for a Manager. Many fans talk about how things will be if Pep or Klopp stay in the Prep while ignoring this man and his accomplishments but in reality Arteta has much more time to dominate the Prem if other Clubs don't step up, big six or not.
Love this mate. You have amazing ability to evaluate things from multiple angles and contextualize situation accordingly. So rare to see in this fast and shallow tiktok and social media era.
He can't be normal. Too handsome to be normal
Man,This is the content people want,not uneducated, emotion tapping,fickle minded analysis.This is the 1st video that I have watched of your channel, certainly won't be the last.Excellent Job.
This guy is the man, I stumbled upon his stuff a month ago. Past content is def worth a watch
This dude rocks! Hidden gem 😊
As an Arsenal fan who had lost the relationship I had with Arsenal, with it becoming a banter club and all, thanks to Arteta these last years I have been watching every game religiously. And not only that, he made me love the entire team, including the bench. The energy in the emirates stadium is on a whole new level. Everything about Arsenal has become positive thanks to Arteta.
I loved the Banter era with the AFTV shenanigans..
Just wish Claude was still alive to see this
It’s unbelievable what Arteta has done, absolutely far beyond what almost any other manager has done and I am so impressed with his mindset to win playing incredible football. The story is only just beginning, hitting the high notes in the champions league next season with a couple of key signings will be incredible.
You mentioned Arsenal's high net spend. I think the reason behind this is Arsenal's bad transfer policy in the years before Arteta. Arsenal were bringing in average players (at best) and paying them massive wages. When those players turned out to be shite (suprise, suprise) and were put on a transfer marekt, the smaller clubs couldn't affort to pay their wages so their contracts had to be terminated or the player went out on a free deal. That's why Arsenal couldn't make a lot of money selling players and why they have such high net spend over the last ten years. That's gonna end now. Arteta has brought in some quality players for a reasonable prices and made them even better. So when other clubs come for our players we can negotiate a bigger fee.
Exactly, and unfortunately Wenger was a big part of this. This is why the novelty of Wenger later years is pointless to me. The state of the club when Emery took charge or even Arteta, was in absolute shambles because of the mismanagement of Arsene... which is unfortunate to say but it's true. It's exactly like you said, high transfer fees, high wages on very average players... He paid 40 mil to buy Mustafi and 20 mil on Perez just to sell him for 4 mil the next summer. It's insane...
Arteta also had to deal with hate at a crescendo for a year. His wife said fans wanted him dead. I wasn't sure he had the winning mentality from being a Rangers fan where his reputation was good player who can disappear when going got tough. When I watched team who had been with him 18 months start last season I wondered if he had lost dressing room etc. But never doubted he had a plan and one I wanted badly to succeed. Luckily the Conte even Jose fans were ignored and even if we do melt down a bit on way to second or even 3rd its been a remarkable feat to get here. City looking bit like their old selves so let's see. If they win all their games it wouldn't be first time and we can't expect to compete with that at this stage, but if they are human and drop a few points we can definitely win this. It just seems so right we do it 😇🙏😇.
Oh and God if you can kick Spurs out CL and top 4 I would be very grateful amen.
Which is mental considering he won the fa cup within his first year of managing Arsenal that's more than spurs this century lmfao!
We don’t need to compare Mikel to anybody who know who he is
Arsenal fans are so scum
You’re a rangers fan who isn’t British? Hmmm, interesting, never met one.
And you’re also a gunner? I’m a Celtic diehard who’s also a gunner lol, weird to see the opposite
you have to pray wisely, my friend. the bigger the battle for top 4 is the better the arsenal's chances for staying on top are. in a sense we need spurs to be good but not good enough.
You never see Arteta look intimidated around the owners and directors that is how he has been able to gain support and respect for the project
Because they are intimidated by his hair
Just when I think I am saturated with content on Arsenal and you come up with this!!!!!! Amazing video...keep doing this stuff man, genuinely your videos are high quality you can see the effort and analysis put on this. What makes your videos an outlier is that it doesnt feel forced and clickbait with stereotypical overhyping comments just to get the crowd rousing...it feels personal and as an Arsenal fan since I was 12 and now 30 I am enjoying my first season with the hope of a title.
This was a much needed video that the mainstream media have failed to highlight due to their own agenda and bias. Arteta’s achievements are anomalous and they are special. He has revolutionised the club in a different manner to Wenger in the 90’s era but arguably with the same potency. It is important that he gets his flowers for the work that he has done so far irrespective of our final position. Hopefully we can win the league this year. Great video!
We need more content 🙏
We have once in a generation manager 🤝
Great vid, and absolutely correct. Once again our club has found itself another special, special character. Thanks for distilling it to language that everyone can get and I, for one, cannot wait to see where Arteta takes us on this journey. I think we're looking at the beginning of a revolution....
Dude you just shifted your own Overton window.... Top class 👍👍👍
Absolutely well put.. and a great argument and I completely agreed with you it feels like most pundits never see how mikel is operating on and off the field he is fantastic manager 👏
Amazing content as always, a proper thinking man's analysis. Also I also hope that break you took for those few months to focus on acting were successful! But keep putting up the content, mate.
I’m so happy you’ve made this video. I completely agree with you about how underrated Arteta is and how no one is acknowledging what he’s doing
Superb video. Love the way you articulate concisely. Defo subscribed
Fast becoming my favourite Arsenal channel 👍👍
Totally agree, Arteta deserves much more credit
That was brilliant, I’ve loved him since he came in to our club. I hope he goes on to be successful and stays with us for a long, long time. COYG 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Ur mistaken. Arteta is the second in a generation manager we have. The first is the one n only Arsene Wenger.
Just came across this, amazing channel, keep up the good work and don’t stop!
Your content absolutely kills me. Even if you make an hour-long video, it will feel short. You are still fantastic!
Great insight as always and I love how you incorporated a non-sport concept in your video. 👌👍👌👍👌
The hard work and research you put into your videos are on another level, I just wish I wasn't in Iran and could subscribe to your Patreon channel.
Incredibly insightful and well-put together video👏🏾!
Arteta is like a manager wonderkid; however the media/rival fan bases can’t let go of petty agendas and insecurities
Well done for providing original and interesting content in a saturated market such as the Arsenal blogs, podcasts and channels. Keep it up!
Well said! This just became my favourite channel! It’s criminal how little respect Arteta has received from pundits, journalists and the like! Thankfully, the important thing is, the players and the staff know exactly how valuable he is!
Just a shame some of the fans don’t!
Well written! The precision of your phrasing is that of a true pro.
Thank you for verbalising and contextualising our INCREDIBLE project. Foggin’ love your content mate.
I love your point about Zinchenko only coming in now that the team is ready for that kind of player in the team. I also think the recruiment has been under appreciated. The recruitment strategy has been consistent, sober, with a clear idea of the destination, and not getting carried away by a single signing.
I enjoy your content so much that I keep looking for new videos everyday 🙂. Keep up with the work you're doing
Brilliant video mate really well spoken and thought out professionally done ✔️ instantly made me subscribe keep up the good work
Glad to see you’re back! Keep up the good work. Your content is unique and well researched. Not the nonsense we see on mainstream. Again, keep it up!
Love your content,as a fellow gooner thank you for standing up
Absolutely brilliant video. 10 minutes felt like 10 seconds because it was so well put together. Well done!
Love this video bro, keep up the amazing work and COYG💪🏼❤️🤍
Brilliant presentation 👏🏼. I always appreciated how intelligent you were but this video demonstrates it even better. Well presented and justified!
Great video about arteta where you talk about things I had never considered. Really good stuff, you got a future here
Getting Zinchenko , Gabriel J and Jorginho was a very smart move, how he treated xhaka and now we're seeing a revelation. You could see by the way they lead the team because they've been there before and know what it takes to win titles and go right to the depths. The growth of Odegaard has been amazing. Growing into the leader we knew he was and there's still room for more. It's the first time in years that i don't need to watch a game they play and have confidence that they'll win. Even if it doesn't go their way this season (hopefully not) , Arteta has started a process that'll bare great fruits
Arteta gets Xhaka. They are both great passers of the ball but are somewhat lacking in the speed and mobility department. Arteta knows what he can and cannot do. Those old players who buy into the message and are will to change will stay. Those who don't has rightly been junked. Best to show them the door quick, otherwise their toxicity will poison the incoming batch of players.
Wow wow wow, you nailed it bro, you've talked like a pro,wow! I wish we had more of your brains around football in TH-cam. That's honesty of the highest standard. Am an Arsenal fan and this is the first time a football You Tuber has made a lot of sense to me.💯💪🏿🙏🏿🏆🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪❤️ You got me in, have knocked all your buttons bro.
Great content. I look forward to the day the wider football world can celebrate this man's genius when he has won the big prizes. He's just incredible.
Arteta, given another 10 years, will be another Pep. You can see it in the makeup of the team, the way we play, and the success he's had thus far. He's also ruthless, and I think that's something we don't say enough. He sold our superstar after having him train on his own for months. Absolutely leaps and bounds beyond other managers who our rivals tout as being "better." Ten Haag is good, but he has far more experience and ran a perennial CL and league winning side prior to moving to United. It's not even a contest here.
10 years?? Wtf lol
@@dlaldlaldlanutsntnstn1418 it was in comparison to the amount of additional time that Ten Haag has had to develop, considering he's 13 years older than Arteta. Fingers crossed we'll get a CL trophy in that time though.
Your analysis are well researched and thought out. Let's get this man's work out there.
Sent your content to all my Arsenal supporting mates. Your Content is Peak
I absolutely love your content. Superb. Even a bonus that I’m an Arsenal fan
Bruh
Love your content
Always looking forward to your videos
Just watched a couple of your vids. Both contained well-reasoned, non-sensationalised arguments based on factual analysis - excellent stuff. Subscription earned!
Your videos ar so good and to the point. Please keep uploading.
Finally!! Been looking for your uploads mate!! Miss your analysis
The most brilliant and in depth analysis of Arsenal channel in the history of mankind..
Keep it up! COYG!
And to think a fair number of people wanted him out not that long ago and some are still not sold on him. Personally, I've always liked him but I was recently thinking about United's seemingly more rapid progression and wondering if ETH might have something on Arteta. Didn't stop to think about how incredibly young and inexperienced both Arteta and his players are! Great analysis as usual!
This guy always comes prepared,his content is 👌💯🔥
My manager ✊🏻 thank you for this, mate
Another top tier piece of content from you. Keep it up!
My dude, you've done it again. Best arsenal content on youtube
Always bring this up when any conversation about Arsenal comes up. People keep forgetting this is his first ever managerial job, with the youngest squad, at the top of the table for most of the season so far. Even if Arsenal finish 2nd or 3rd, it's still pretty amazing.
Like everything in life, he did one fundamental thing and that is total control when it comes to footballing decisions regardless of which player he upsets. His is strongly anchored to his own rules.
I'm so impressed with Mikel Arteta and what he has been able to achieve at Arsenal. He has brought a renewed sense of direction, purpose and organization that the team sorely needed
This is smart content with a decent research behind it. You get bored of most repetitive content on TH-cam where bunch of pundits and fan youtubers shouting over each other not knowing what they are talking about, flip floping repeatedly according to a single result.
Pretty cool content tbf.Good work
Brilliant video. Arsenal has generational talent on and off the pitch. You love to see it.
This is the kind of videos I have subscribed your channel. Great Job @TDK.
Very well worked video mate. Point made. ✅
Where have you been?!!!
I was looking for you. I should put on the alarm right away
He had me by the end of his first interview ❤
Incredible analysis! Well done 🙌
I enjoyed your content. 1st time viewer
and appreciate that I am not alone in what you said.
First time here... Loved your content... Fact based, analytical combined with football knowledge, what lacks the so called football punditry world...
This was so well done man.
Great video. Loved how you pointed out about the mathematics behind the endless pundits saying “well, everyone will be back next season” it is legit almost impossible for every single club in top 6 or 7 to be competing for the league at once unless the points Talley is really low that season which would indicate that those teams aren’t really “back” 🤣 pundits act like everyone can be amazing at once
Superb analysis. Keep it up mate👍👍👍
Great work man this is unreal arsenal all the way
Great video, I agree ever since the FA cup win i felt like he was different. He is like a footballing genius. Like the steve jobs of football or something lol
I saw this guy in Christmas Carol with the RSC, top talent and top insight
I'll be honest, after 2 seasons of finishing 8th I wasn't confident with Arteta. After last season when we bottled top 4 I was upset but I saw the progress, especially after the all or nothing documentary. Now it's finally coming together and I'm so happy the board backed him when most fans didn't. It shows the board has changed in the way it thinks and the club has clearly changed for the better, on and off the pitch. I'm looking forward to the years ahead following Arteta and the squad and hopefully seeing them achieve great things
Love you content bro, I click without hesitation and never get disappointed
Great opening & ending 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
wow . just wow ! we are lucky to have him . Believe me or not but i never said Arteta out and I even wanted him to get the job when Unai got it ..But everything happens for a reason
My appreciation for my manager doubled in a span of fourteen minutes... thank you.. we are in deed blessed to have Mikel Arteta❤
This is going to sound cringe but I nearly cried watching this because FINALLY a notable TH-camr like you has made a video on this matter.
I've been in comment sections and threads on social media in the past month stating every single point you've started in the video to rival fans. The fact that they compare Arteta with managers like Pep, Klopp, Ten Hag or Conte isn't a slight against him but actually a HUGE compliment because just like you said, He's not NORMAL
Great post dude. Thank you
Incredible video, mate. 👏
Brilliant video. Subbed!
