They are right. Arteta plays victim week in, week out. Victim mentality does not win anything in life, and he is still without any trophies. That is on him. They are right to say shut up and play better Football. it is entirely Arsenals own fault, nobody else's.
He doesn’t have to answer that question. If you’re trying to be in a title race and you played badly you own it and don’t just blame the ref. Mikel has been whining about refs for 2-3 years at this point and it’s boring. And refs aren’t the reason Arsenal have been pretty average all season
@Ray03595 It's up to him to decide whether to answer or not. And you are lying in saying that Mikel has been complaining for 2-3 years. You are not serious! He did criticise the ref only once about the Newcastle goal. How has this become 'whining about refs for 2-3 years'?
@geraldmwangi2715 If the club sitting 2nd is average. All the clubs below 2nd are mediocre then? Arsenal might top the league in a few weeks. How? Arsenal has played 9 of the top 11 away; whilst Liverpool has played only 2 of the top 11 away (Arsenal and Newcadtle) and dropped 4 points. Let's see how they'll do away to Chelsea, City, Forest, Fulham, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton, and Brentford. Arsenal played all those clubs away (apart from Forest and Chelsea).
Arteta didn't say anything crazy in his post-match conference. Basically in the line of what any typical manager would say in defense of his team. Burley can be a real melodramatic hack at times. It can really get old. Take the time to read all he said before spouting off as usual.
@james...it was a silly statement from a coach, nothing like what a typical manager would say as you claim ....saliba headbutted Pedro and it's a penalty all day.
As an Arsenal fan, I completely agree with them, the team has been playing poorly this season. The football has been very casual and slow, with no real determination to win games. It's frustrating how we score one goal and then start time-wasting. We picking up unnecessary bookings on throw-ins and delaying restart leading to suspension hence forcing him to play Partey at right back (knowing that it destabilizes the fluidity of our midfield. That's on him (Arteta), he needs to speak to the team to avoid the unnecessary time-wasting, which has become a norm for Arsenal this season even against teams in the bottom half.
@@mosestsarai8565 Either way, it still falls in the same category of dark art, it's too much at the moment. We start defending a 1 goal lead even against lesser teams. There's a big difference between our approach to games this season and mentality compared to the last 2 seasons and that to me is down to the instruction from the Manager. It's the time-wasting tactics for me, so pathetic, no wonder rival fans hate us. It's so boring to watch, to be honest.
What did Arteta say? He said VAR took 3 seconds to decide. FACTS He hasn’t seen a penalty for a 50-50 clash of heads. FACTS. Why this reaction from the Media?
He hasn't seen a penalty because that rarely happens inside the box. When there's a headbutt anywhere on the field, a free kick is always given to the victim who normally come in contact with the ball first.
They’re literally waiting for Shaka to be on to talk about them since he knows the most about them. Football fans have the biggest victim complex I swear🙄
This Craig guy is clown he wants to be the headline every time that’s way he’s always negative about arsenal and arteta I’m 💯 sure if Liverpool or chelsea were conceded that penalty it will be different senior arsenal were playing better football last two season and the officiating was awful some many wrong decisions were against them
so many wrong decisions? lol do you actually know the rules of football? well, probably not given uour name here is the worst diver ever to exist in the game.
So people are complaining about officials being against Arsenal and here the whole group complaining about Arteta and Arsenal. Whats up with you all - hating Arteta and Arsenal
This panel keeps surprising me honestly. Ask any former players that were in the panel how many of these were given when they were playing? I bet you the number would be zero. In fact let’s see across all the leagues around the world how many were given for the same clash.
I always laugh when i watch these pundits . They do little research around what they are discussing and then make ridiculous comments . Odegaard wasnt rested . He has been struggling with illness . He wasnt 100% . With the injuries and illness around the camp , psrticularly of the forward players like Havertz , he had to play some part . But clearly when he came on , you could see he wasnt right . As for Burley's comment , that decisions for fouls on head -clashes in the box are rarely given , the correct answer is : they arent given That is the first time in prem history a pen was given for a head -clash . What would Burley say if following the clash of heads , Saliba had fell to the floor like Pedro ? Normally thats what happens . Both players in a head -clash go over. The panel , who lets face it are brainless , didnt even consider that . Gary Lineker , who knows a bit more about the game than these idiots , got it right on Match of the Day It was a clash of heads ; happens a lot at corners in some way and are not given as fouls
They can't play better.. and he's the victim here too..He's used up all the Tiki-Taka notes he stole from Peps' safe when he was coming to Arsenal.. He's watched all of Mourinho's park the double decker bus matches on TH-cam now there's none to watch..All he's got left is Stoke City and their corners and crosses express Philosophy..
Can’t watch @ESPNFC anymore. They have such a bias against Arsenal and Arteta they might as well have it on T-shirts. Thats Arteta’s opinion on the tackle and even pundits on other channels agreed with him but they didn’t take a personal attack on him but said that the referee and Var made a tough call and Arteta wasn’t happy but EspnFC want to talk about not liking the players or the Manager because of their reaction is alot of nonsense and unprofessional analysis

Good! Then off you pop. You aren’t wanted here. You are utterly clueless about football as is your dear bottlejob Mikel who plays utterly disgusting football after spending £750m in half a decade. Sooner he’s gone the better. Can’t stand the sight of him as all the true Gunners.
@@luisbronson2349there’s no bias either buddy 😂 look at you working yourself up. Absolutely delusional. This isn’t a bias like you had against Emery, now thats for sure.
Why is Burley making out that Arteta said something dramatic about the penalty, and has then listed all the controversial decisions of the last 3 years and claimed a conspiracy against arsenal. He did none of that, and never has 😂
Because Arteta cried as usual rather than taking responsibility for parking the bus after going 1-0 up getting exactly what he deserved. Quite simple really 😂
My goodness Craig. Officiating aside, sure, it's a pen, but there is major virus running through an already depleted team. Did you see Martin out there? He wasn't fit. Slamming Arteta for that is way off the mark.
So...every season is a depleted team? Its never Arteta aye? Its the refs, the VAR, the cards, the injuries lol. This is probably Arsenal's best chance to win it but Liverpool is doing so well lol
Clash of heads have never been a penalty before especially in the Epl... Arsenal were poor in the 2nd half truly, they weren't pushing anymore, but that shouldn't have been a penalty, else every clash of head becomes a penalty... And again, Saliba touches the ball too from other camera angles.
Stop scolding Arteta guys, he needs to defend his team and shall be able to speak the truth freely. You guys need to watch his interview carefully before criticizing him
That's the analysis, play better? And these guys actually get paid? Ok, so basically every single game with sh*t devisions at this point should be handwaved away with the "play better" analysis. In reality, Arsenal twice had winning positions against Brighton, twice were on the end of horrendous decisions, and twice dropped points as a result. Pathetic ESPN BS once again.
First of all it wasn't a horrendous decision,it's a stonewall pen and yes for Arsenal sadly the reality is analysis is play better,cuz they are absolutely putrid and boring ppl to tears
Exactly and Most of these decisions against us are never seen again.The rice yellow card,the double martinelli yellow card against wolves and now the brighton.Something needs to be done about We were going for a title this season and those ridiculous decisions have cost us the title
@ Ive watched football for 40yrs and ive never seen the double yellow card against martinelli and the one against Saliba.Have you ever seen it? We seemed to be the guinea pigs for their experiments
Arsenal should thank someone higher up for that one point as Brighton was the better team. It is sad to see Arsenal fans gobbling up Artetas latest excuse 😂
Great Analysis Play Better. How do you have a job again? Oh yeah this is ESPN. The lack of due diligence on this show is absolutely shocking. Arteta did not want to sit Odegaard he is sick with the same thing that Havertz has. He looked a shell of himself and they only put him on because they conceded a very questionable penalty I still don’t think you guys know Saliba got the ball.
I am not a fan of arteta but over the years there have been very strange calls against arsenal consistently, that was not a penalty and for the rest of the season you will not see that be given as a pen. That shocking second yellow for declan in the first match against brighton has not given again.
That second yellow for Declan was bang on, get over it. Yes if there’s not another head clash in the box (of which there are never many) then there won’t be another like it. & No there haven’t been “very strange” calls at all. What is very strange is backing a bottlejob coach who parks the bus everytime he goes 1-0 up away from home, timewastes on every throw in, has Stoke City like tactics after spending £750m. Very strange indeed.
They are talking about a team that is undefeated in 12 games despite regularly losing key players and were literally scored the most goals and points over the last year. All they ever do is criticise and complain.
Get a new job Craig, you suck at this one. Managers call out lousy calls. It’s their right, VAR is a disgrace. What the heck are these pundits talking about? Making this up
I usually like these guys a lot, but it’s also not just them. Everyone piles onto arsenal when we all know for a fact if that decision was given to anyone else’s team they’d be saying the same thing as Arteta. Obviously the team needs to play better, but that’s 3 games now where referees ultimately decide the result in games that involve arsenal. City, brighton and Brighton again. It is what it is, but I’m quickly losing interest in the league since referees can decide games now
You generally realise a lot of people are sheep. It takes brave people not to follow the herd and most people aren't that. That's why people like Arteta will always be talked against. Remember when Wenger said Arsenal can go unbeaten and everyone piled in on him? Then he humbled them.
@@130charges aye man, idc I am pissed😂. And some arsenal fans are calling for Arteta to be sacked which is insane to me considering where we were before him. I never experienced the prime Wenger days, so Arteta is the first manager in my 12 years of supporting that is actually challenging. But man, these refs really be deciding outcomes which will ultimately happen to your team one day, or already has lol. One thing we can agree on are the PL refs are below average
@@tkdanny7918where we were before Arteta? Finishing 1 point off 4th, making a Europa final before Arteta took us to 15th after a year 😂😂 brilliant. He’s a truly awful manager. Horrendous football, timewastes every set piece, Stoke tactics after £750m spent. It makes sense you’re a new fan hence why you rate him. For those of us who have watched Arsenal, I can comfortably tell you based on his dire personality & style of play & decision making during games he’s the worst manager we’ve ever had. Any competent manager with half a decade & this kind of money spent wins major trophies. Its as simple as that.
So many of them repeat the same lazy tropes every week and lack passion for the game. They need a complete facelift. Get some people with chemistry, coherent speaking, and unique ideas.
@@hectorr6299 yep, I don't finish videos anymore especially if there is Craig Burley or Shaka Hislop. I respect opinions of Sid Lowe, Don, the old guy and Luis Garcia
If anybody is complaining, it's the idiotic panelists at ESPN. They keep whining every week about managers and players. I wonder how many of them have actually managed a proper team.
BANG ON THE MONEY Craig. Ignore all the Arteta cultist melts, this is what we want to hear. THE TRUTH. Cannot stand this manager, £750m spent for the WORST FOOTBALL I have ever seen at Arsenal. HORRENDOUS time wasting tactics, set piece desperation. Utter GARBAGE. Then all he does is cry every other week at the ref. PATHETIC
As a newcastle fan the that was not a penalty cause you could see it was not intentional, but most will argue it was cause they never watch the players' body language during the game,thats why there is VAR and also have 2min to review the incident.i watched different pundits discuss the head clash incident on their shows, and they have all stated valid facts and supported the reason. ESPN pundits are 100% against arsenal and can't state realistic football facts. They should be replaced or need to do research before they speak.
These guys are more concerned with creating a narative than punditry. Saliba got the ball, that was never a pen, and Arsenal ARE always on the end of "creative" referring.
How many big teams have beaten Brighton this season? Not much, so why is Arsenal getting criticized when the team was in a winning position and the ref gave a ridiculous penalty.
I'm no longer an Arsenal fan. I'm done bro. Kroenke has no ambition to win anything. Do you understand that Arsenal have not been able to capitalize on any of Liverpool's dropped points?
They are correct about Arsenal not reacting well enough to win the game. However, they are wrong to say Arteta is complaining. He just doesn't agree with the decision. When you look at it clear, Saliba didn't headbutt Joa Pedro. It was more like a clash of heads. Besides, he got the ball.
Question: when there is an accidental head clash(not a headbutt/assault) in any part of the field, why does the ref blow for treatment and then bounce the ball, and not give a free kick?
I'm an Arsenal supporter and I'm pig sick of Craig Burley. He obviously dislikes Arsenal. Fine! But his very obvious dislike should not be confused with punditry. It is just ugly bias, plain and simple. Red card for Craig for this obnoxious effort.
Its clear, these people are click baiting with their voice. Arteta said "i have never seen a pk given for that" linker podcast said the same Arteta said. Play better? So many games and so many injuries. 1-0 manage the game. That's what Arsenal did.
Just play better- As an Arsenal fan i agree we went away from wengers play style and now only playing for set peices and putting our best midfielder at RB, there is something seriously wrong with the management at Arsenal
Not if you understand the rules Jonathan, maybe you should look into that, if the person who was involved in the rule change tells you it isn’t a handball and you still think it is then maybe your knowledge is out of date.
@@kenshiro1789 Of course the ball can hit the arm when it’s by his side. He was running so his arms obviously move, it’s not possible to keep them static while running but when the ball hit his arm it was by his side which is where it’s supposed to be.
As an arsenal die hard fan.. I say it's true.. too much excuses, never try to kill the game but instead trying too many games holding on to one goal lead. Referees decision have cost us points but there is no excuse in trying to blame it all on referee decisions.
I agree with Frank, the siege mentality from some Arsenal fans is hard to listen to. All very Mourinhoesque from Arteta, no? Stop complaining! I see even Wrighty is at it, and I love the guy.
Every 50/50 decision goes to the opponent. Arsenal are not respected as a title contender by the referees. This is not fair. There is something personal with PGML and it is unfortunate.
I’m an arsenal fan always dislike how over the top they are on espn fc. But last year before arsenals run the attack was flat. And now with saka out and little options it’s showing. The defense is good, but when your defense is most talked about part of ur team and set pieces like we gotta do better. Trossard, Martinelli, Jesus and Kai dont worry defenders. Trossard it slow, martinelli can’t dribble without looking at the ball, Jesus is injury prone, gets bullied off the ball and is never in the box when the cross comes in. And Kai is Kai. But Mikel needed defenders and midfielders. If we don’t get wingers and a striker soon. We’re screwed. We need to get rid of the dead weight. And get a LW a striker. Anyone. If we don’t have money then maybe eze or Dunlap from Ipswich. Or Isak but that’ll be hard. But the gunners need transfers.
Let's be honest, Arteta won nothing of note as a player, has spent £600 million and Arsenal are going backwards, both in playing style and performances. Arsenal will never win the league without a winner as a coach.
These guy need to read the rules. The handball rule was changed a few years ago. Frank Lebouef is a dinosaur living in the 1980s and needs to keep up with the times. Newcastle's goal is valid.
Pep won the league playing tika-taka, Klopp won it playing rock n roll football… Artetas trying to win it by going 1 nil up in the first half and then time wasting 😂 EMBARRASSING
Arteta talks a lot of nonsense! What did he say JUST last week.. that Arsenal were the best team in the league over the past year.. err?.. the year that Man City won their fourth title in a row?? 🤦🏿♂️
People say we're making excuses. How do you expect a team riddled with injury and to play a game two days after . There is literally an illness spreading in the team and half of the players were playing through it but ohh it's arteta who can't coach
I find it so lazy that they chose to just pick his comments about the penalty He did say we have to be better but you’re not gonna bring that up are you
Craig burley you absolute muppet!!!!! Completely bypassed that Saliba touched the ball before he made contact with Pedro. When did Arteta or anyone from the club say that there is a conspiracy theory? Arteta complaining all the time? When? Honestly ESPN can do much much much better with the idiots they have analysing the game
I think some of these guys lack some context at times. Look at the injuries to some of the players in that arsenal team considering the fact that there is a sickness bug among certain players in the team. Note that brighton had more days of recovery relative to Arsenal's who has had some very grueling fixtures recently. On the flipside, I would agree that arsenal has to play better. They have gone absolutely flat. Every game it's a struggle to generate chances in open play. They also lack a left winger with flair and efficiency. They also lack an efficient striker man. No way they leave January without a marquee forward signing. This project is starting to run stale. It needs a shake up quickly
This is pathetic. All these pundits said its 💯 percent penalty in the previous recording. The fact of the matter is that they don't give analysis based on data and evidence. They clearly have hatred against arsenal. In my opinion, either Aretha has to win everything to prove them wrong or arsenal have to appoint a British coach, which doesn't exist at this time better than arteta. 😢
To be taken seriously, Burley needs to explain why “delay of game” was called 3x against Arsenal, resulting in reds! Yes, the PGMOL has to questioned. Looks like Arsenal has to play against the referee and the opposition. Burley, get a life…..
Arsenal fans are some of the biggest cry babies. The whole world is against us. Since when is headbutting your opponent not a foul. Why don't you go asked Zidane what happened to him in the 2006 WC final. Ask Mazzerati how he felt. Whiners!
What's wrong with Craig these days? It is only him that dosent know that these was a bug (bout of illness) that decimated the team? How could he possibly rest Odegaard intentionally?For once, rubbish analysis...A team of walking wounded managed to get through a game...And were perhaps going to take a 1 nil victory before the unfortunate penalty...How could former professionals not show some empathy. Don't worry, Liverpool is going to Forest and Brentford in a couple of weeks...
The penalty was a complete joke. Saliba clear.y head the ball before the collision of heads . However, Arsenal didn’t deserve to get three points which begs the question of whether or not they are ready to truly win the League. Why would Arteta not buy Mbueno , the Brentford striker? The guy is a proven goal scorer in this League and would fit in perfectly for the Gunners. Moreover, he would cost a fraction of most of the foreign strikers they are apparently looking at. Makes no sense to me.
You must be ashamed if yourself Frank, Arteta has not complained more than any other manager. You guys don’t like him from the beginning. Just let him be! That’s not a penalty. Period. We don’t care what you lot say because we know what you always say. Arsene Wenger became you people’s toy even when Alex Ferguson was the problem of the league. Arsenal hate is real.
Notice these people never really compare the incident to the actual rules of the game? They just want narratives that drive engagement. I know these two are dumb, but Shaka really surprised me, you are educated brother, do better.
As experts pundits. Can cited one rule that’s say two players goes on the ball head-budded together awarded as penalty? Are you telling us now that two players head-clashes on corner can be awarded as penalty. Yes, you see and you never see it again like what happened to delay restart cards. It was experimental on Arsenal and it is dropped after it only affects. You’re all a bunch of clowns collecting checks for nonsense. Nothing but talking heads
Var didnt show the 3rd angle… Saliba got the ball then he got the man… if its a tackle, and a defender gets a touch on the ball on a slide tackle in the box(studs not showing ofc) and he gets the man after… everyone would’ve said “great tackle” coz he got the ball 1st just like saliba
Those idiots why can’t they understand that these rules only apply to Arsenal. The evidence is that we don’t see these decisions again. They phase it out. Bunch of clowns.
Arsenal fans when they win: We’re gonna win the league Arsenal fans when they lose/draw: it was the refs fault Never seen a set of fans who love playing the victim so much.
I just wish people in this job had to do research before talking.. resting Odegaard? He was ill, same with Havertz and same with Martinelli and probably others as well. Yes Arsenal need to play better but these guys lack context. But Liverpool are running away with a title when they are 6 points ahead, game in hand means nothing. Its not points on the board
such poor commentary
Game in hand means everything and you will not be even close.
Why should he be on the bench if he is not good to play?

@@ngaitevera5496Because the other half of the bench is injured... Not sure y'all appreciate how depleted Arsenal is right now.
As a neutral, Arsenal just feels a bit flat. They are not the flare team they were, and they absolutely need to get a real striker.
They are Stoke 2.0
Arteta is too defensive and parks the bus too soon
The striker situation is a big one
Do people not see our left wing as an issue? Struggle to understand why people think it's good enough
When they were playing really well, saka and martinelli were both very impactful, these days it’s mostly just saka that’s why they struggle
No one would be shouting for a pk for that. Look at Brighton players. None of them shouted for a pk. This is becoming a disgrace
I wonder how many of these people actually watch the interviews they are complaining about.
Craig is totally right and I'm a arsenal fan, they need a revamp up front they can be a bit boring to watch sometimes
They are right. Arteta plays victim week in, week out. Victim mentality does not win anything in life, and he is still without any trophies. That is on him. They are right to say shut up and play better Football. it is entirely Arsenals own fault, nobody else's.

Because its complete denial. Hope this helps

With the injuries and illness around the camp , psrticularly of the forward players like Havertz , he had to play some part . But clearly when he came on , you could see he wasnt right .
As for Burley's comment , that decisions for fouls on head -clashes in the box are rarely given , the correct answer is : they arent given
That is the first time in prem history a pen was given for a head -clash .
What would Burley say if following the clash of heads , Saliba had fell to the floor like Pedro ?
Normally thats what happens .
Both players in a head -clash go over.
The panel , who lets face it are brainless , didnt even consider that .
Gary Lineker , who knows a bit more about the game than these idiots , got it right on Match of the Day
It was a clash of heads ; happens a lot at corners in some way and are not given as fouls
They can't play better.. and he's the victim here too..He's used up all the Tiki-Taka notes he stole from Peps' safe when he was coming to Arsenal.. He's watched all of Mourinho's park the double decker bus matches on TH-cam now there's none to watch..All he's got left is Stoke City and their corners and crosses express Philosophy..
seriously, get help. You obviously lost your mind
Were you born a retard, or did it take some effort?
Bro…you seriously need a mental health check.
Oh yeah, he’s an amateur. That’s why his team is second in the league and unbeaten in 12. Great hot take 😂
You need to have a brain check dude
Can’t watch @ESPNFC anymore. They have such a bias against Arsenal and Arteta they might as well have it on T-shirts. Thats Arteta’s opinion on the tackle and even pundits on other channels agreed with him but they didn’t take a personal attack on him but said that the referee and Var made a tough call and Arteta wasn’t happy but EspnFC want to talk about not liking the players or the Manager because of their reaction is alot of nonsense and unprofessional analysis
Okay try wiping your tears and say this again
@ just for you okay here: Can’t watch @ESPNFC anymore. They have such a bias against Arsenal and Arteta they might as well have it on T-shirts.

Good! Then off you pop. You aren’t wanted here. You are utterly clueless about football as is your dear bottlejob Mikel who plays utterly disgusting football after spending £750m in half a decade. Sooner he’s gone the better. Can’t stand the sight of him as all the true Gunners.
@@luisbronson2349there’s no bias either buddy 😂 look at you working yourself up. Absolutely delusional. This isn’t a bias like you had against Emery, now thats for sure.
Why is Burley making out that Arteta said something dramatic about the penalty, and has then listed all the controversial decisions of the last 3 years and claimed a conspiracy against arsenal. He did none of that, and never has 😂
Because Arteta cried as usual rather than taking responsibility for parking the bus after going 1-0 up getting exactly what he deserved.
Quite simple really 😂
@ didn’t cry, just stated a fact, he’d never seen it given. Which most people agree with. Quiet simple yeah 😂
My goodness Craig. Officiating aside, sure, it's a pen, but there is major virus running through an already depleted team. Did you see Martin out there? He wasn't fit. Slamming Arteta for that is way off the mark.
It's not just one time though, Arteta has been like this for a long time.
It's not a ben if you reach the ball first
@@kadarabdullahi you’ve had a lot of comments about arsenal
Name a match where clash of heads resulted in a pen
So...every season is a depleted team? Its never Arteta aye? Its the refs, the VAR, the cards, the injuries lol. This is probably Arsenal's best chance to win it but Liverpool is doing so well lol
Clash of heads have never been a penalty before especially in the Epl... Arsenal were poor in the 2nd half truly, they weren't pushing anymore, but that shouldn't have been a penalty, else every clash of head becomes a penalty... And again, Saliba touches the ball too from other camera angles.
By Burley's logic: every head clash in the box(which happens a lot during corners), should be a penalty
ESPN 🤝 Beer Pub Analysis
Stop scolding Arteta guys, he needs to defend his team and shall be able to speak the truth freely. You guys need to watch his interview carefully before criticizing him
That's the analysis, play better? And these guys actually get paid? Ok, so basically every single game with sh*t devisions at this point should be handwaved away with the "play better" analysis. In reality, Arsenal twice had winning positions against Brighton, twice were on the end of horrendous decisions, and twice dropped points as a result. Pathetic ESPN BS once again.
First of all it wasn't a horrendous decision,it's a stonewall pen and yes for Arsenal sadly the reality is analysis is play better,cuz they are absolutely putrid and boring ppl to tears
Exactly and Most of these decisions against us are never seen again.The rice yellow card,the double martinelli yellow card against wolves and now the brighton.Something needs to be done about We were going for a title this season and those ridiculous decisions have cost us the title
@samjall9216 Lol no they didn't,it's you been uninspiring at best that has done that
@
Ive watched football for 40yrs and ive never seen the double yellow card against martinelli and the one against Saliba.Have you ever seen it?
We seemed to be the guinea pigs for their experiments
Arsenal should thank someone higher up for that one point as Brighton was the better team. It is sad to see Arsenal fans gobbling up Artetas latest excuse 😂
Great Analysis Play Better. How do you have a job again? Oh yeah this is ESPN. The lack of due diligence on this show is absolutely shocking. Arteta did not want to sit Odegaard he is sick with the same thing that Havertz has. He looked a shell of himself and they only put him on because they conceded a very questionable penalty I still don’t think you guys know Saliba got the ball.
I am not a fan of arteta but over the years there have been very strange calls against arsenal consistently, that was not a penalty and for the rest of the season you will not see that be given as a pen. That shocking second yellow for declan in the first match against brighton has not given again.
That second yellow for Declan was bang on, get over it. Yes if there’s not another head clash in the box (of which there are never many) then there won’t be another like it. & No there haven’t been “very strange” calls at all.
What is very strange is backing a bottlejob coach who parks the bus everytime he goes 1-0 up away from home, timewastes on every throw in, has Stoke City like tactics after spending £750m. Very strange indeed.
@@patchh15Bang on is the same old naratives😮
Arteta has always been a big crying baby. The most clueless manager in the epl is Mikel Arteta.
They are talking about a team that is undefeated in 12 games despite regularly losing key players and were literally scored the most goals and points over the last year. All they ever do is criticise and complain.
Get a new job Craig, you suck at this one. Managers call out lousy calls. It’s their right, VAR is a disgrace. What the heck are these pundits talking about? Making this up
Nah, Craig is spot on and you can cry some more you deluded junkie, just like your bottlejob coach.
Nah, Craig is just fine diddums. Maybe you should get a job as it seems you don’t do well handling the truth 😂
ESPN need some pundits
True
They need to go they are the worst
Or you need to watch something else
Nah, they’re absolutely fine. Cry. 😂
Some of these guys tried coaching and failed miserably.
Saliba got the ball first and gabriel was fouled in the box. Arteta shouldve been as loud as ange was over a good decison
No he didn’t get it first lol
@patchh15 theres an angle that shows he did, didnt see it at first either
I usually like these guys a lot, but it’s also not just them. Everyone piles onto arsenal when we all know for a fact if that decision was given to anyone else’s team they’d be saying the same thing as Arteta. Obviously the team needs to play better, but that’s 3 games now where referees ultimately decide the result in games that involve arsenal. City, brighton and Brighton again. It is what it is, but I’m quickly losing interest in the league since referees can decide games now
Womp womp
You generally realise a lot of people are sheep. It takes brave people not to follow the herd and most people aren't that. That's why people like Arteta will always be talked against. Remember when Wenger said Arsenal can go unbeaten and everyone piled in on him? Then he humbled them.
@@130charges aye man, idc I am pissed😂. And some arsenal fans are calling for Arteta to be sacked which is insane to me considering where we were before him. I never experienced the prime Wenger days, so Arteta is the first manager in my 12 years of supporting that is actually challenging. But man, these refs really be deciding outcomes which will ultimately happen to your team one day, or already has lol. One thing we can agree on are the PL refs are below average
@@Mezzala9 so true.
@@tkdanny7918where we were before Arteta? Finishing 1 point off 4th, making a Europa final before Arteta took us to 15th after a year 😂😂 brilliant.
He’s a truly awful manager. Horrendous football, timewastes every set piece, Stoke tactics after £750m spent.
It makes sense you’re a new fan hence why you rate him. For those of us who have watched Arsenal, I can comfortably tell you based on his dire personality & style of play & decision making during games he’s the worst manager we’ve ever had.
Any competent manager with half a decade & this kind of money spent wins major trophies. Its as simple as that.
Clashing of heads isn't a fault
If you are late for the challenge and you hit your opponent in the box it's pen doesn't matter which part of the body you hit him with.
Arsenal haters… last season it was because of “over-celebrating” goals.
ESPN pundits really suck.
So many of them repeat the same lazy tropes every week and lack passion for the game. They need a complete facelift. Get some people with chemistry, coherent speaking, and unique ideas.
Why you watching it then? 😂
It’s free on TH-cam, it’ll do
@@hectorr6299 yep, I don't finish videos anymore especially if there is Craig Burley or Shaka Hislop. I respect opinions of Sid Lowe, Don, the old guy and Luis Garcia
ESPN pundits are great, they don’t bow down to absolute muppets like you who cry whenever your dear Mikel is rightly criticised.
@@sunblanket2925good, then off you pop. We don’t need muppets like you here crying every week who don’t understand football. 😂
If anybody is complaining, it's the idiotic panelists at ESPN. They keep whining every week about managers and players. I wonder how many of them have actually managed a proper team.
BANG ON THE MONEY Craig. Ignore all the Arteta cultist melts, this is what we want to hear. THE TRUTH. Cannot stand this manager, £750m spent for the WORST FOOTBALL I have ever seen at Arsenal. HORRENDOUS time wasting tactics, set piece desperation. Utter GARBAGE. Then all he does is cry every other week at the ref. PATHETIC
You're foolish, by the way! I hope no one in your family has a brain like yours.
Big up to the forest now they joined title contenders
Are you guys serious when you see anyone send this kind red card?
Giardiola is smirking in his corner😏
His team are finished
@@wayneholness6090his team win trophies and will finish higher than arsenal😂😂
Arsenal as a club and fanbase have this victim complex
The only channel that makes any football sense
As a newcastle fan the that was not a penalty cause you could see it was not intentional, but most will argue it was cause they never watch the players' body language during the game,thats why there is VAR and also have 2min to review the incident.i watched different pundits discuss the head clash incident on their shows, and they have all stated valid facts and supported the reason. ESPN pundits are 100% against arsenal and can't state realistic football facts. They should be replaced or need to do research before they speak.
These guys are more concerned with creating a narative than punditry. Saliba got the ball, that was never a pen, and Arsenal ARE always on the end of "creative" referring.
How many big teams have beaten Brighton this season? Not much, so why is Arsenal getting criticized when the team was in a winning position and the ref gave a ridiculous penalty.
I'm no longer an Arsenal fan. I'm done bro. Kroenke has no ambition to win anything. Do you understand that Arsenal have not been able to capitalize on any of Liverpool's dropped points?
They are correct about Arsenal not reacting well enough to win the game. However, they are wrong to say Arteta is complaining. He just doesn't agree with the decision. When you look at it clear, Saliba didn't headbutt Joa Pedro. It was more like a clash of heads. Besides, he got the ball.
Question: when there is an accidental head clash(not a headbutt/assault) in any part of the field, why does the ref blow for treatment and then bounce the ball, and not give a free kick?
I'm an Arsenal supporter and I'm pig sick of Craig Burley. He obviously dislikes Arsenal. Fine! But his very obvious dislike should not be confused with punditry. It is just ugly bias, plain and simple. Red card for Craig for this obnoxious effort.
I couldn’t agree more with Craig. Arsenal and their fans are ruining football. It should be called out more often. Thank you
Its clear, these people are click baiting with their voice. Arteta said "i have never seen a pk given for that" linker podcast said the same Arteta said. Play better? So many games and so many injuries. 1-0 manage the game. That's what Arsenal did.
Just play better- As an Arsenal fan i agree we went away from wengers play style and now only playing for set peices and putting our best midfielder at RB, there is something seriously wrong with the management at Arsenal
What's song is the synthesizer at the end of the video?
And I heard Shaka Hislop arguing it's NOT A HANDBALL because he was in the meeting when THEY decided it wasn't a handball.ITS A HANDBALL ALL DAY LONG
Hand was by his side
Not if you understand the rules Jonathan, maybe you should look into that, if the person who was involved in the rule change tells you it isn’t a handball and you still think it is then maybe your knowledge is out of date.
If it was by his side the ball would nit have hit it.. He actually mives his hand from behind his back to outside his body
@@kenshiro1789 Of course the ball can hit the arm when it’s by his side.
He was running so his arms obviously move, it’s not possible to keep them static while running but when the ball hit his arm it was by his side which is where it’s supposed to be.
@kenshiro1789 it was a natural position
As an arsenal die hard fan.. I say it's true.. too much excuses, never try to kill the game but instead trying too many games holding on to one goal lead. Referees decision have cost us points but there is no excuse in trying to blame it all on referee decisions.
I agree with Frank, the siege mentality from some Arsenal fans is hard to listen to. All very Mourinhoesque from Arteta, no? Stop complaining! I see even Wrighty is at it, and I love the guy.
Every 50/50 decision goes to the opponent. Arsenal are not respected as a title contender by the referees. This is not fair. There is something personal with PGML and it is unfortunate.
Watch the reply . It has now been confirmed that Arsenal Defender touch the ball before the head contact. Also the Captain was Not well
I’m an arsenal fan always dislike how over the top they are on espn fc. But last year before arsenals run the attack was flat. And now with saka out and little options it’s showing. The defense is good, but when your defense is most talked about part of ur team and set pieces like we gotta do better. Trossard, Martinelli, Jesus and Kai dont worry defenders. Trossard it slow, martinelli can’t dribble without looking at the ball, Jesus is injury prone, gets bullied off the ball and is never in the box when the cross comes in. And Kai is Kai. But Mikel needed defenders and midfielders. If we don’t get wingers and a striker soon. We’re screwed. We need to get rid of the dead weight. And get a LW a striker. Anyone. If we don’t have money then maybe eze or Dunlap from Ipswich. Or Isak but that’ll be hard. But the gunners need transfers.
Let's be honest, Arteta won nothing of note as a player, has spent £600 million and Arsenal are going backwards, both in playing style and performances. Arsenal will never win the league without a winner as a coach.
Where is King Khai?.
Arsenal will always saying, Liverpool hasn't play anybody.
Arsenal is playing everybody, which include the English FA.😊😊😊
These guy need to read the rules. The handball rule was changed a few years ago. Frank Lebouef is a dinosaur living in the 1980s and needs to keep up with the times. Newcastle's goal is valid.
Why must Arsenal score 3,4 or 5 goals, just to entertain Craig Burley 😂.
I agree with Arteta that there are conspirators who love to see us losing as well as humiliated.
Pep won the league playing tika-taka, Klopp won it playing rock n roll football… Artetas trying to win it by going 1 nil up in the first half and then time wasting 😂 EMBARRASSING
Arteta talks a lot of nonsense! What did he say JUST last week.. that Arsenal were the best team in the league over the past year.. err?.. the year that Man City won their fourth title in a row?? 🤦🏿♂️
People say we're making excuses. How do you expect a team riddled with injury and to play a game two days after . There is literally an illness spreading in the team and half of the players were playing through it but ohh it's arteta who can't coach
I find it so lazy that they chose to just pick his comments about the penalty
He did say we have to be better but you’re not gonna bring that up are you
Craig burley you absolute muppet!!!!! Completely bypassed that Saliba touched the ball before he made contact with Pedro. When did Arteta or anyone from the club say that there is a conspiracy theory? Arteta complaining all the time? When? Honestly ESPN can do much much much better with the idiots they have analysing the game
I think some of these guys lack some context at times. Look at the injuries to some of the players in that arsenal team considering the fact that there is a sickness bug among certain players in the team. Note that brighton had more days of recovery relative to Arsenal's who has had some very grueling fixtures recently.
On the flipside, I would agree that arsenal has to play better. They have gone absolutely flat. Every game it's a struggle to generate chances in open play. They also lack a left winger with flair and efficiency. They also lack an efficient striker man. No way they leave January without a marquee forward signing. This project is starting to run stale. It needs a shake up quickly
When you're looking for excuses all the time you've got problems. I understand the "Us vs the world" mentality but it's not that.
Fully agree...they've got to play better...stop the whining...coming from an Arsenal fan
Sometimes these pundits on ESpn FC act like they smoked weed. Very biased analysis
Don't know why people keep listening to these guys it's obvious they only watch the reels and are the worst analyst in the game
This is pathetic. All these pundits said its 💯 percent penalty in the previous recording. The fact of the matter is that they don't give analysis based on data and evidence. They clearly have hatred against arsenal. In my opinion, either Aretha has to win everything to prove them wrong or arsenal have to appoint a British coach, which doesn't exist at this time better than arteta.
😢
Hahaha Frank, 'people will start not liking the Gunners'. You guys already hate them innit?
I agree with Craig 100% this arteta guy is failing and he wants to make excuses
To be taken seriously, Burley needs to explain why “delay of game” was called 3x against Arsenal, resulting in reds! Yes, the PGMOL has to questioned. Looks like Arsenal has to play against the referee and the opposition. Burley, get a life…..
He didn't "rest" Ödegaard...
Arsenal fans are some of the biggest cry babies. The whole world is against us. Since when is headbutting your opponent not a foul. Why don't you go asked Zidane what happened to him in the 2006 WC final. Ask Mazzerati how he felt. Whiners!
Honestly I would agree with you but wc is a huge but the games arsenal have drew had a significant input from an official
What's wrong with Craig these days? It is only him that dosent know that these was a bug (bout of illness) that decimated the team? How could he possibly rest Odegaard intentionally?For once, rubbish analysis...A team of walking wounded managed to get through a game...And were perhaps going to take a 1 nil victory before the unfortunate penalty...How could former professionals not show some empathy. Don't worry, Liverpool is going to Forest and Brentford in a couple of weeks...
because Odegaard has been awful lately and when he played second half he was.. awful again. he has not been the same player since the injury.
Craig is right about Arteta.
SACK ARTETA
Haters,arteta has achieved what non of these commentators can.Stop using this media to display your hate.
Achieved what exactly
Craig ,spot on ,likewise Steve ansdFrank.
Not liking the Gunners ,wow that not a worry ,who does like them.
The penalty was a complete joke. Saliba clear.y head the ball before the collision of heads . However, Arsenal didn’t deserve to get three points which begs the question of whether or not they are ready to truly win the League. Why would Arteta not buy Mbueno , the Brentford striker? The guy is a proven goal scorer in this League and would fit in perfectly for the Gunners. Moreover, he would cost a fraction of most of the foreign strikers they are apparently looking at. Makes no sense to me.
You must be ashamed if yourself Frank, Arteta has not complained more than any other manager. You guys don’t like him from the beginning. Just let him be! That’s not a penalty. Period. We don’t care what you lot say because we know what you always say.
Arsene Wenger became you people’s toy even when Alex Ferguson was the problem of the league.
Arsenal hate is real.
Notice these people never really compare the incident to the actual rules of the game? They just want narratives that drive engagement. I know these two are dumb, but Shaka really surprised me, you are educated brother, do better.
As experts pundits. Can cited one rule that’s say two players goes on the ball head-budded together awarded as penalty? Are you telling us now that two players head-clashes on corner can be awarded as penalty. Yes, you see and you never see it again like what happened to delay restart cards. It was experimental on Arsenal and it is dropped after it only affects. You’re all a bunch of clowns collecting checks for nonsense. Nothing but talking heads
Var didnt show the 3rd angle… Saliba got the ball then he got the man… if its a tackle, and a defender gets a touch on the ball on a slide tackle in the box(studs not showing ofc) and he gets the man after… everyone would’ve said “great tackle” coz he got the ball 1st just like saliba
Those idiots why can’t they understand that these rules only apply to Arsenal. The evidence is that we don’t see these decisions again. They phase it out. Bunch of clowns.
Arsenal fans when they win: We’re gonna win the league
Arsenal fans when they lose/draw: it was the refs fault
Never seen a set of fans who love playing the victim so much.
100%. biggest bunch of wanker winers.
Yeah because you aren't biased at all.
At least they don’t cheer a loss at home against man city and do the poznan 😂 now THATS pathetic
