Fantastic stream guys!! Very illuminating and have to say that I, for one, had no idea that Martinelli was maintaining such effectiveness. I am now completely on board with Giorge's assertion that environment is a big factor here. hopefully we can get a run of that cala-merino-nelli left side and we can start to see improvement because if we can get martinelli purring again that gives us a lot more options and leeway in the transfer market. we can build the squad, rather than re-build the squad. Great show guys, thx ily 👍
That point george made about martinelli's tendency to run down vertical lines on the wing is why I believe we need a new left winger to evolve. As a winger for a top club facing a lot of low blocks you NEED to be effective when receiving the ball out wide facing a block otherwise you're not that useful. Martinelli is able to cross really well but the dribbling from out wide isn't good enough nor is it salvageable at his age. I believe a Rafael leao, kvaratskhelia, nico williams or semenyo would make us improve
technical ability just isnt there, I never understood the people that said he had this untapped potential, dribbles with his head down, makes the wrong decisions, isnt as fast as people think he is, his standout quality as a forward is his defensive workrate, that tells me all i need to know tbh
Seems that way but see footage from him a couple of seasons ago and he was a different player constantly going past defenders and taking chances. Must be a confidence issue, for example this season he had a 1v1 against Harry Maguire and it came to nothing.
When this man cuts inside and drives centrally (like he did last night) he is very good. He isn't a step over merchant but there's a reason all of his coaches have said he's an unbelievable talent.
@Abc123ert56 All of his coaches? Who? He wasn't very highly rated coming out of Brasil; he actually had multiple (three IIRC) trials at ManU that obviously didn't go anywhere.
@kunimitsune177 firstly Brazil had him training with the first team even when he played in the lower leagues, all of his Arsenal coaches has said they love him, immensely talented but just needs to show it on the pitch. Just watch the all or nothing documentary and interviews with players
3 goals and 2 assists in the PL (13 appearances). It’s just not good enough if we want to win the league. This is when he’s not fatigued, what is he going to be like in the run in when it’s even more difficult? He’s a good squad player but should not be our first choice LW next season. We need an upgrade so Saka is not swarmed, there’s a threat on both sides of the pitch going forward.
This season we’ve seen the best of him when we’ve had Califiori in the team, remember City. He works hard defensively but his shooting has to improve leaps and bounces. Also the club must try to help him by creating more chances.
I think Arteta should allow him to come more centrally areas when we are on middle third, not all the time wide, something like Diaz or gakpo does in Liverpool, they can find more spaces by changing ways to access the area, as soon he gets early to central areas he is gonna start shooting more, he also needs to be more creative when dribbling, it feels too predictable
It's simple guys sign semenyo, keep martineli to compete with kia for the center spot then sell unavailable Gabriel Jesus who's on 250k a week. Love this podcast ❤😊
22:05 I could be wrong, but I thought xg is dependent on where the shot is taken from and not how the shot is taken. George said Martinellis high xg per shot means he’s testing the keeper more often but I don’t think there is a large correlation between the two things. Martinelli isn’t showing great output because he isn’t testing the keeper which is even worse when you consider that he has had high xg chances which means it’s easier to test the keeper.
Martinelli right back.. Not being entirely serious, he doesn’t seem to have the long range passing we need, but.. he has a decent cross with his right foot, unbelievable determination and defensive workrate. I don’t think it would be horrible.
I think we probably need to see him play half a dozen consecutive games with Calafiori and Merino. If they can create the kind of interchange on the left that we have on the right then he could absolutely blossom. I guess the other question is why is our number 9 shirt worn by a winger with poor shot efficiency while Martinelli is on the wing?
A lot of his decision making is just poor, and has nothing to do with links. Imo, califiori and merino paper over the cracks, not necessarily “help” him. Decision making is his downfall, and that’s an individual trait that no one can merino or califiori can “link” to solve
"some of his crosses into the box, he's really perfected that." I've tried to push past 5-10 minutes multiple times with these but can't. It's me, I'm a dinosaur. ⚽🦖
Not the only problem but a major problem is player playing LCM hasn’t really helped him. They don’t offer him the protection to stay up further or the combination play to come inside in space to shoot. LCM and LB have just been meh when it comes to getting the best out of their danger man.
The Arsenal team said he is the most clinical finisher in the team but you wont see because he gets 2 shot chances in a match and misses and everybody shits him, Saka gets 13 shot chances in a match and scores 2 and he's the best winger in the league
Idk about xG as a metric for being clinical. Most models simply use field position so that completely fails to measure finishing. You can only call him clinical using xG if it also considers defender proximity & maybe limb position.
The way that Martinelli's development has been managed has turned him into Jesus minus the chaos. Massive issue for a player that was once put on a pedestal as one of the best players in Europe.
the guy just isnt good enough and we can easily upgrade on him with someone like lookman or williams they would take our attack to a different level only saka and odegaard are threats consistently imo if you add another playee of their level in our attack we win trophies
Why is everyone gassing Nico , man has been mid all season, even martinelli everyone thinks his crap has a better season currently than Nico Williams jeez🤦
In my opinion, the two main things Martinelli lacks are intelligence and pace. Neither of our wingers are particularly quick however Saka has the skill/tricky to beat defenders and produce some form of end product. More often than not Martinelli runs himself into a dead end and ultimately ends up losing possession. I appreciate his defensive work is really good but you’ve got to look at what your main priority from a left sided attacker is. Do you want him assisting/scoring goals or do you want him supporting his left back? I know the defensive side of the game is incredibly important, but when we are so one-sided in attack, it would be nice if he could carry some of the weight. I personally think finances permitted Arteta would replace him. At the moment we have a left-wing attacker who doesn’t produce goals or assists we have a centre forward in Havertz who isn’t scoring goals and when he plays we have a left back in Zinchenko who can’t defend. Surely before you even start talking about winning the league you’ve got to have players in their positions that produce what is necessary.
Are you blind how the hell would you say martinelli isn't fast?? That's the only thing he has in his game that hasn't deteriorated, he has last his form and efficiency from 2 seasons ago but he is mad fast, everyone in the squad talks about how quick he is and pls saka has more combinations and help at his side than martinelli, martinelli is most often than not isolated, watch his game , his game imo is more suited to be an inverted winger , cos his best season for ars came playing more close to the to goal than what we see by making him waste out wide
He has Zero trickery to beat defenders, always looking down and when he tries to use pace to beat a defender he's muscled out of the ball. I don't see Martinelli being our first choice long term.
Martinelli shouldn't be our first choice lw we need both a direct lw and a cf both need to be good on the transition, he has a profile which is very interesting, if we sell Jesus i think he definitely has a place in this squad
Martinelli has high xT because the only thing he does is out in weak foot cut backs that come to nothing. This is the problem with stats (particularly 'advanced' or compound metrics); you have to actually understand the stat and each possible implication of & variable surrounding it, something that almost no one does. 1.0 xG can mean one guilt edged chance from on the goal line or it can mean a hundred shite 'chances' from 40 yards. This is why you have to WATCH THE GAMES and use your EYES to analyse what is happening. Stats can be a useful tool but stats do not tell us anything. Martinelli creates very little of note. His real world expected threat is basically zero. Martinelli is not a futsal player wtf.
Martinelli was a better player 2 years ago with so much promise, but hasn’t lived up to it. For a Brazilian his first touch isn’t brilliant & his shooting has deteriorated
No, he shouldn't. The attacker stepped into the path of Martinelli, who was under no obligation to fet out of the way (because it's fucking impossible). It wasn't a foul, let alone a second yellow.
Why do people still think Arteta signed Havertz to play in midfield ? Does anyone really believe Arteta misprofiled a 65 million signing ?? Only reason he played in midfield was because of the rest of the team dynamics & maybe because going goalless for 6 weeks as a Forward would have been much more damaging to a player so low on confidence when he joined us than it was for him as a midfielder.
Not necessarily; high xG can mean a plethora of poor chances too. This is one of the fundamental problems with the stat, that it doesn't actually tell you anything.
He'll be great in a klopp system, where wingers cut inside & get many opportunities to score goals with overlapping fullbacks all the time. But not under Arteta where the wingers have to hug the touch line all the time & have to score with the very little opportunities you get
Yes, he's not smart enough to play at the top level. Very rarely makes the correct descision, he's lost his pace since his injury and can't beat a player.
This is poor analysis Watch Son Heung Min when he was 22/23 years old, they are identical… I feel like Martinelli isn’t being helped by the left side struck, notice he plays terribly when here’s a right footed left back like Timber behind him and a right footed left number 8 behind him. Both those guys are cutting inside so he ends up holding the width of that side
@@olsenfernandes3634 He was always better in big spaces. That's why he was a problem against City and liverpool 2/3 years ago. 1v1 in tight spaces to create a separation I always had doubts
@@naluminolinyandi6755Yesterday, there was a left footed left back and left footed 8 playing with him most of the time. He’s honestly not good or intelligent enough to be our starting left winger unfortunately
Martinelli is not contributing what we need him to contribute to go where we want to go. Its that simple martinelli might be a great centre forward for another club he might be a great LW for another club but arteta has signed numerous players and would rather put trossard in the 9 than nelli so its not even about slating him or even whether or not hes a good player. But in this arsenal theres no place for him
George you are trying your best to make Martinelli seem like an intelligent footballer. He isn’t at all, he is so limited in his play on the ball and off the ball. The only position he may work is through the middle
Waaaaait a minute! If that IS the case that only means he has been sacrificed for Saka & Odegaard to cut in the area. And if iam right maybe that is why Jesus almost never played at the right wing, i do remember him playing excellently there against Real Madrid under Pep Guardiola but with us i only remember one game i guess that could be due to his tendency to go in more 🤔🤔 Interesting! Can he play with his back to goal if he used as a 9?
"Martinellis misprofiled"-You guys made comparisons w suarez, failing to see he s more similar to pedro. 20g+a, thats the max he can give. xThreat s nothing w/o context & what type of distribution is e g. If its a transation shot with a +1 in attack.Look how good saka ranks there even without context, he s that good. We wont win shit unless Arteta has winger balance e.g Heynkes Bayern/ last Euros Spain .
Some of these comments are so ignorant 🤦♂️ especially the ones calling him stupid or that he lacks IQ, the only one who lacks IQ is you for not being able to come up with your own analysis so you end up regurgitating mainstream opinions like the bot you are.
Lacks FOOTBALL IQ. No one is saying he lacks IQ. Clearly you are the one lacking, if you can't even grasp that simple concept. I couldn't tell you the last time I watched mainstream media commentary on football, I have no idea what any of them think or what the narrative is; Martinelli is clearly lacking football IQ.
Martinelli comes up clutch in big moments and contributes spirit and energy to the team. We need to believe in our squad, that’s what separates us from other teams. That being said, we can always use more competition on the left. I would love to see LW and RW swapped to surprise opponents. Or Martinelli as no. 9.
@@didididiah I'm describing both. Who scored our only goal to break our drought against Man City last season? Who scored our only goal against Shaktar in the CL? He defends well. We need to support our players while asking more of them, or we're just like every other teams' fans. This goal is also a banger and I hope we see more like these (2:58): th-cam.com/video/DdRzKSegjWQ/w-d-xo.html
His not a great passer and not a great dribbler meaning he must have atleast output to his game amd there is zero. If Arteta didn't have patience for Reiss i dont understand why such patience for Martinelli
He is simply not good enough. He plays like a kid with pace. Not brave enough simply doesn't have the cohones. We need players who are courageous on and off the ball who don't disappear for large portions of the game. Arteta's mistake is simply not replacing him. Jesus, I don't blame arteta. The guys been killed by injuries. We need a replacements for both. Jesus needs to play on the left. He's technically far superior and can link play. It dies on the left with martinelli.
Martinelli is QUALITY and I won’t stand for this scapegoating we’re seeing

This is my last advice to Martinelli.
Learn from Ronaldinho, not Walcott.
@BP-bs2ny let's blame Raheem Sterling for all that is wrong at Arsenal... before aportioning blame at least give him a run of games.
5 G/A in 8 starts is bad?
This season we’ve seen the best of him when we’ve had Califiori in the team, remember City. He works hard defensively but his shooting has to improve leaps and bounces. Also the club must try to help him by creating more chances.

The more he is frustrated, the less creative he gets, we want him to be Saka on the left and he is simply not.
The way we help martinelli is to upgrade from him and make him a bench player if we want to win major trophies
Is this prescription for martinelli or arsenal?
It's simple guys sign semenyo, keep martineli to compete with kia for the center spot then sell unavailable Gabriel Jesus who's on 250k a week.

Why do people still think Arteta signed Havertz to play in midfield ?
Does anyone really believe Arteta misprofiled a 65 million signing ??
Only reason he played in midfield was because of the rest of the team dynamics & maybe because going goalless for 6 weeks as a Forward would have been much more damaging to a player so low on confidence when he joined us than it was for him as a midfielder.
He was sign to be a left 8 second striker hybrid i believe. Decline of Jesus pushed Havertz to play 9 full time
@Lukas_1996 Second Striker maybe. But no way Arteta signed him to play as a midfielder.
No elite team plays a low touch, 6'5" guy in midfield.
Probably because that's where he played for the first 6 months and because he literally called him a midfielder.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is the type of profile we need. Rapid , very good 1v1, great ball striker with both feet. Wouldn't cost a fortune either.
xG is the most overused stat. If the xG is high, it means he is getting better chances, and he is not scoring.
Not necessarily; high xG can mean a plethora of poor chances too. This is one of the fundamental problems with the stat, that it doesn't actually tell you anything.

He stopped maturing in 2022. Whether Arteta has contributed to that, I do not know, his time is done here. At least under this coach.
He hasn't matured since he got here.
wasn't Salah failing at Chelsea at the same age? 🫣

He can not dribble effectively so why on earth would you want to move him on number 9 position? Ridiculous
Striker requires much less dribbling than winger ...
With ur logic then haaland is a fridge
Waaaaait a minute! If that IS the case that only means he has been sacrificed for Saka & Odegaard to cut in the area. And if iam right maybe that is why Jesus almost never played at the right wing,

His not a great passer and not a great dribbler meaning he must have atleast output to his game amd there is zero. If Arteta didn't have patience for Reiss i dont understand why such patience for Martinelli
Super clickbaity title. But I'll give it a shot.
Yes he’s finished
Guys just bring on Nico Williams and bench martinelli and we lift the trophies
farteta is definitely done...my money is on him joining either punditry or saudi club
I can see your mum joining a saudi team. streets are saying she's strong in the air with great ball control 🇸🇦
@infamous_e or it's a dog named win..who do you fancy ?
Both of you are idiots
He is simply not good enough. He plays like a kid with pace. Not brave enough simply doesn't have the cohones. We need players who are courageous on and off the ball who don't disappear for large portions of the game. Arteta's mistake is simply not replacing him. Jesus, I don't blame arteta. The guys been killed by injuries. We need a replacements for both. Jesus needs to play on the left. He's technically far superior and can link play. It dies on the left with martinelli.
We need dushan blahovic,bruno gumarej,
Martinelli is done long time
All Hail the Almighty Algorithm ☯️🔥
