You wonder why they couldn't give Xhaka the contract extension. Had he stayed we could have won the PL, 2 seasons later we buy Merino who is marginally younger(3 years younger) than Xhaka for 10 million more but doesn't have comparable PL experience. The same happened with Emiliano Martinez, we sold him for 16m then bought Ramsdel who is frankly an inferior player to Martinez for 8 Million more then sold Ramsdel for a loss and bought Raya for 30m. Had we just kept Matinez the club would have saved 40 million without any drop off in performance. Selling Xhaka and E.Martinez are the biggest blunders Edu Arteta have done and in the process making the club lose over 50 million. This is why an experienced sporting director is needed to recruit like Liverpool and never lose money cheaply...
Man, I feel you! Those decisions still sting. It’s like we’re playing football manager and someone keeps hitting the “sell” button instead of “keep.” Let’s hope we get it right next time! 😅
Well said. Decision making on those fronts have been terrible. Throw in lack of recruiting for player cover in key positions and it's just horrendous. People are still high off last season's performance
I think Merino will grow into the Arsenal style of play. He missed two clear chances in Chelsea v Arsenal match. He made that difference when he came on
Arteta getting it wrong with the defense stuff. And again Merino and Rice can't work together. Mireno is more effective when he plays along Odegaard meaning Rice would have to play DM replacing Partey. Nwaneri is Odegaard successor. We should be thinking of a better option upfront the attack replacement for Saka and Havertz.
Merino gels better with Partey than he does with Rice. Moving Partey to RB to accommodate him is wrong. Two press resistant midfielders will give us an edge. Let rice sit out some games or come in later for some games when we need more defensive numbers coz going forward, Merino is better.
Eff off. What has Havertz done that wasn't predicted by the same fans u are wont to berate here? Has he been any different than the AFC fans predicted? He's garbage just like Trousard, Merino, Gab Jes, Martinelli, Kwior, Zinch, Tierney and Tomi. Rubbish recruitment ll the way. Horrible !!!
I havent wated it completely yet, but as an arsenal fan, the solution is simple. Get a true striker who can score goals and draw a presence in the box, and bench havertz and just have him come in as a sub. Havertz plays better behind a striker or beside a more threatening striker imo. As for merino, it just comes down to him being able to fit in the system. I dont think merino is the solution for control. Id say jorginho fills that demand needed more than anyone. Odegaard and partry are more attack minded. Declan really just seems more of an end to end, with control being secondary. I havent even seen jorgingo play in any matvhes this season.
Oh ffs. "wE nEeD A rEaL sTrikER" is such a silly claim. Arsenal doesnt have a lack of goal scorers. We scored the second highest number of goals last season, using no striker on the field at all, and barely any the season before that. Every "striker" has struggled at Arsenal because of the defensive responsibilities. defend like a team, attack as a unit. Our ability to create high quality chances dropped off because our chief creator was injured, hence our struggles (Same as city, no KDB, no 3-0 scorelines). Rice has been poor as an 8, Partey is just doing his thing but he isnt playing like he did last season, taking long range shots. Martinelli isnt running behind, Havertz barely gets the ball in the box.
@@kyle_muttiwon’t matter New manager will get the players he wants zhirkzee will probably get moved on or other players to make the cash up Arsenal supporter but in my opinion he’s going United
I don’t understand why we’ve gone so defensive this year, we were more fluid two seasons ago
cause say it with me
arsenal are shite
coz we were conceding like crazy also, two seasos ago
@@lomsontebe4931 we had the best defense in the league last season. Our left wing is where we need to upgrade and at striker
Surprisingly press resistant against Chelsea
He will become a top player in the second half out season.
Yes for sure.
@@jackwilliam2965 rubbish
lol ….. the guy is almost 29 and people barely heard of him even though he’s played in the EPL before. He’s not lifting any levels mate

To be fair, he was the one who wanted the move to germany, the management hold him long enough as best as they can

Yeah exactly
Nice analysis
Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot to know you enjoyed the analysis. 🙏
@FutbolHistoria88 uwc
Merino-Partey-Odegaard will be the best midfield partnership for Arsenal
What about Thomas Partey? You are not mentioning him
yeah, i noticed him in this start of the season...
@FutbolHistoria88 and???
Merino is not an upgrade on anyone mate …. At 28, he’s never been considered a class footballer, he’s not lifting any levels at arsenal

Totally get what you're saying! It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole with some of these players. Let's hope we figure it out soon!

The same “fans” who ridiculed Havertz are now making comments about Merino
It's normal bro fans have short memory

This video hasn’t aged well
His performance in the Chelsea arsenal game 😂
Honestly i like how he impact Arsenal’s game
@FutbolHistoria88 he was terrible
@@FutbolHistoria88 press resistant af!
He really impressed.
@@Ajay-by4di we can tell you didn't watch the game.
better than rice thats for sure
Rice has been far from fantastic bro😂😂
bros barely even moved
Marino or not, Let’s not kid ourselves, we need a miracle to get into the top four this season
Yeah kind off 👍
First comment
🫡🫡🙏
Your accent on "G" makes me laff 😂
(No offense please)
no worries 😅

Not that good actually
Crap that’s what he is
He just hops around. I'm hardly impressed.
Should have brought Gryokeres I am afraid he is going to United now
@@jackdonekingsthere is no way he goes to United. They spent 150 on strikers last two seasons
Hops around ? Hes immense
@@kyle_muttiwon’t matter

Arsenal supporter but in my opinion he’s going United
Probs the one good thing about Edu leaving. He almost always gave Arsenal our 2nd/3rd choice signings.
is it ok if i send you an email please?
I just sent you an email, Kindly check your inbox. it will mean a lot to me sir.
