How Mikel Arteta Just Fixed Arsenal's BIGGEST Problem

- Arsenal thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0 this weekend, with goals from Martinelli, Gabriel, and Trossard. Conspicuous by his absence in all of those goals though was Bukayo Saka, leading to some accusations of a poor performance.
However the reason for his lack of goalmouth action was, in fact, down to a new role given to him by Mikel Arteta. One that allowed the rest of the team to flourish.

So you're saying he's playing more of a Saka rificial role now?
I'll see myself out
😂😂😂 Shows himself the door, well played sir.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😁
No no no😂
Permission to ban this comrade
Oh no, you can stay!
So basically since everyone's double teaming Saka, just use him as bait and actually attack on the other side.
And if they second guess it and leave Saka in space... It's happy unicorn time! 🦄😁
Arteta is a mold of every manager like
The other team mates stepping up is a good thing. Teams are allowed to double team Saka because we do not punish double teaming Saka.
Methinks by progressing the ball slowly City and Arsenal force or even allow opponents to park the bus. By playing Saka deeper you force opponents to play a high line which gives Jesus, Martinelli and Havertz space to run into. Liverpool, man utd, chelsea and tottenham have it easy because they always have space in behind to run into.

Great analysis, everyone doubted Arteta and predicted a different score - crazy how much a difference a small break can make to rejuvenate a squad and help them reassess things
No one doubts arteta apart from youtubers looking for controversy and views and rival trolls, i doubt our finishing abilities though which cost us points every season
@@mannyafcarsensl-rc6vvI’m not a CZcamsr and Arteta is not it chief. Y’all can sing his praises all you want but need to realize that you are part of the problem too.
tf u mean doubted? was our performance agaisnt palce good? fuck no we might scored have scored the goals but the playing style and tactics is the same shit and we know that shit wont work evyrytime
@@ArsenalGunners89the problem of being a title challenger for 2nd consecutive season? Keep barking from the sidelines, we move
@@CaptainSpaceCrackers title challenger? Last season maybe, but this season? Please why are there so many of us Arsenal fans so delusional. Even last season, we were only challenging City all the other usual suspects were playing like shit (look at Liverpool then) and we still STILL managed to choke and come in second. We are not a serious club, with an even less serious fanbase.
Need to use Jorginho's line breaking passes more. I reckon when Partey comes back Arsenal will be deadly. Rice is not made to make those passes, but Thomas is.
rice is def a more traditional CDM. quality for what he is, but slows down transitional plays.
Nor Havertz too
Rice is just an upgraded version of Jordan Henderson

this is the first time I've actually understood the tactics behind football thank you so much for this video happily subscribed 👍
Great observation; Think Arteta has switched Martinelli and Saka's role.
The overload to isolate was usually done to create space for Martinelli while getting Saka in shooting positions but now the reverse is the case.
what Arteta has been saying about sharing goals will pay off massively in the long term. Last yr at the end of the season Arsenal were unproductive when Saka or Odegaard had a bad game, now there's much more attacking versatility because everyone is a creative weapon, everyone is a scoring weapon. Also puts less pressure on Eddie, Reiss, Fabio and Emile who can impact games without being expected to be super subs, giving Arsenal even more weapons
From 6 goals when this video released (a month ago) now he’s on 12 goals in the league. Crazy how quick thing change
Watching that game from the first 5 minutes I noticed something was different. You are 100% right that it was Crystal Palace, however they have come back from their break with a tweak to their system. Saka deep was the most obvious, he will get kicked less and when teams start to set up that he will be deeper, we can go back to 2023 set up if need be.
Brilliant vid, keep em coming!
It's incredible how WM system is back to Arsenal after many decades
Once more a great video and analysis
Oh btw I captained jota at fpl
🎉😉🥳
Great analysis, still I wouldn’t use one game as a datapoint as to if he fixed the team or not. Specially against a team that comes from a 1-4-5 record in their last 10. But did he tweeked a few things? Yes. Fixed? We’ll see
Totally agree with this. A lot of Sara's steam is used on the right, and he ends up being static and blocked by opposition's defence, scrambling for passing options
love your videos,.very insightful
You explained this really well. Thank you
Adam, this is spot on, best analysis I've seen in a while ❤
Arsenal need a striker who has to be outside of England..Mikel just needs to adjust his style of play and use players like he did against Palace..I've said many times Mikel doesn't let Jesus back down like a midfielder or defender.. Jesus must always fight up front.. Opponents are happy to see Jesus running away from their goal.,this is one of Mikel's bad things.
Excellent analysis!
been saying this all friggin season - same with martinelli they lose so much space and playing potential by forcing them out wide and where then their only option is to cut in or take to the line which the defenders are looking for so it just ends up going back and into midfield then switching and that's it... having more versatility is a good thing makes us less predictable and harder for opponents to defend against
This is the first video I watched on this channel and damn man what a brilliant and beautiful analysis ❤😂😂 I'm subscribed simple for the ending "keep eye contact " 😂😂
Sakarifice
Lmao😂😂
Come on now, give this man a gold star. That's awesome. That's legit hilarious!!!
Goated comment
You make the game so much more interesting when highlighting these tactics ^_^.
Gabriel has been given the second goal following an appeal, which means Saka got an assist. ☺
they also need to work on getting Odegarrd into more effective positions also. His contribution in creating has been far less also due to the lack of space and awareness of his ability from other teams. Only time you see him come to life is when we counter or a defender makes a mistake and he laches onto it.
This is exactly the thing I've seen United do with Antony about a billion times this season. Ball goes from Onana to Wan-Bissaka, really deep and wide, then ball goes down the line to Antony, and just as he takes a touch to control it, the full back just smashes into the back of him.
Either gives away a foul with no card and you've got a really tricky to manufacture anything halfway line set piece, or it's no foul and the opposition breaks forward and gets a half decent chance from all the space available.
Either way, once the opposition knows thats the pattern of play, unless the referee gives out a card, you aren't going to keep doing it.
The difference is arsenal still balances it with central progression and ball carriers. The bald man in Manchester is adamant on wide progression into wall passes
Great analysis mate
Great video!
I'd sacrifice his goal involvement if we keep battering teams like that, his role will be highlighted like it was here
And he still got an assist 😂 kids a machine
Brilliant video
Je-sus not he-sus. He already said it in multiple interviews
He-man was wearing high heels the other day. I found that a little He-sus.
Would this make him a less useful player in FPL terms now? I might have to let him go as I doubt arteta will change from making Saka play the sacrificial role from now on considering how well they played
I don't know much about FPL, but in the first half of the season he was scoring a lot less than last season, so I'm guessing that this change will actually result in him getting more goals, because he'll be in more space.
But instead of only going down the wing, now Jesus was breaking out right and Saka would come down the middle. So it could also lead to more production. He's too good to drop, so if anything just sit him.
Good analysis
Great video...
You guys have any app by any chance?
I like how your mind works. 👊🏾
Fantastic analysis
Hardly.
I think the biggest issue is still trying to break low blocks. Breaking through presses and progressing to the final third isn't an issue I associate with Arsenal. That said, it is a nice improvement because it results in the progression being faster and giving the opponent less time to recover their shape.
Nyc analysis
Did any goals come from this though? 2 corners 2 last min counters
That’s the reality.
It’s like every one became blind because of the end score.
We played crap and were happy to score thanks to Jover’s corner tactics and after Palace couldn’t be so deep and playing low block wich lead to Leo and Marti x2 goals and not because he became great again or whatever bs
Insightful
Great analysis but since we are unable to actually take the chances created it comes to nowt. Lots of shots but only a handful on target.
Exceptional analysis again....can Arsenal gain some momentum now...
Can they bollocks lol
Bottle Job FC
@@CatFuntCantonPeople have very short memories.😂
Love it !!!!
One game and he as fixed them it would be really awkward if they were lose this weekend
Arsenal needs to consider Gabriel M from defense to a sticker his determination would make him the world's best fwd
For real.
I think he can be a great target man.
Kieffer Moore also played CB for exemple.
We could have take him for peanuts this winter as our back up ST for low blocks but hey trust the process and be ready for phase 239394
I’m not saying we should actually do it, but imagine if we did move Saka back to left back… Martinelli cutting in with him on the overlap…. Teams would shit themselves lol
Apt analysis 😊
Well done
We created fook all until 59 mins tbh. Then 3 transition goals against team that had given up. 😮. Hope the big win gets us going but I like many aren't seeing a big leap in our play off that. Toothless until set pieces
Because you asked so nicely to hit the sub button 🙏🏽😂
I still don't get the Havertz signing. It doesn't make sense🤷🏿♂️
Good defensive numbers (Arsenal are much better at resisting transitions), he's also tall so can bring high balls down for those around. Last season Arsenal's attack was all shorties. Havertz is also great at making space for his teammates.
@@mavsworld1733 Another clueless plastic
If this trend carries on throughout the season, it is genius.
Trend of playing team at their bottom lol😂
Just need Martinelli to be more devastating on the other side and drive inside a bit more
Next thing to work on is getting martinelli to add this on the other side. Sick
Martinelli is missing Xhaka and Partey. He's not getting the ball quick enough.
He's doing a Salah basically
Er, no
More like Bernardo Silva
This is all good but why can't arteta switch the 2 different styles in game depending on the situation rather be robotic in 1
I think you have it way off.
Declan Rice isn’t facing high criticism at all. He’s been one of the best players in the prem this season. Partey was irreplaceable last year and he comes in at 6 and replaces him perfect.
Rice has one of the best progression stats in Europe. Sure his passing isn’t elite but his tackling and dribbling is.
He shouldn’t be expected to do everything.
What about Kai Havertz ? What exactly is he doing? He doesn’t get on the ball enough and when he does, recycles possession.
I don’t think build up play from the back has been an issue at all this season.
Our biggest issues are at LB because zinchenko has been exposed defensively with Timber and Tomiyasu out.
LCM and Striker have been the key issues.
Lazy analysis by four four two.
Can’t expect Rice to do a 3 man job 😂
This is clever 👍🏿👍🏿
200m quid spent on Decline Rice, a 47 minute wonder and a 65m quid German statue and cone layer's 'fixed the problem' by ending this season in January after getting dumped out of both domestic cups in the 3rd round and being 10 points worse off than last season looooooooool
Only at Arsenal - Banter FC Since 2004
Are you a Spurs or Man U fan?
Your club is trash
@@janmoyenmaybe he supports crystal palace
Complete waist of money that’s a
Sackable
Come on.. it was Palace without Olise, Ayew and Edouard.
Or we just played a weak team in defence... a team that did pressed most of the game. Our problem is defensive teams , we can't break the defence.
sure
JAYsus, they speak Portugese in Brazil bubba
Don't celebrate on weak palace, and don't be carried away we need a striker
No we don't we needcto play better with more conviction and belief.
Good nnalysis, but Arteta has not fixed Arsenal's biggest problem by winning one game. Let's see this work out over a run of games first. Also Saka was one of our three highest goalscorers last season.
He solved nothing. We would have struggled without Jover’s corners tactics and scoring two goals on corner wich lead Palace to attack more and give space.
This weirdly explains what Antony did at Manchester United last season
I don't think anything is fix yetm
That looks like a Girona 6:18
I love how this change by Arteta impacted Gabriel scoring two headers
Sarcasm is an art ❤
Finally, Saka playing the role he was meant to play: attacking fullback 😍
Martinelli on the left.
ESR on the right cuting inside.
Saka at LB overlapping to give Marti space and bring danger.
Zinchenko as 8 with Rice as double pivot.
Problems solved.
Very similar to Grealish role at city
Jan is almost over and all I hear is that Arsenal needs a goal scorer. That seems to have been solved. Now, What about a world class keeper?
Oh we won our 1st game in 7 and it’s all fixed now 😂
Really impressive work😂😂
Joint top scorer last season
And won fuck all. Again.
I pressed the button 🎉
This is nothing new.
Palace and Fulham defended in completely opposite ways (palace pressing man to man as opposed to Fulham in a mid block). It was completely natural for saka to come short against palace where there was space to play that pass in behind the man which would've been impossible against Fulham because there was no space in behind even if he did come short.
This is like comparing apples with oranges.
And it's really not true that using a tactic that we've seen used since the beginning of last year against opposition presses against a very struggling palace side AT home suddenly 'fixes' Arsenal forever. That is way too simplistic for reality.
I still think we need a full time striker. Can Arteta get one please?
wow thats crazy everybody told me he sucked and was overrated
First half was dreadful against Nottm. Not sure you can say this “problem” is solved.
It's definitely a work in progress. They're going to face these low blocks against every mid to lower table club. Scoring first is absolutely vital.
they miss partey through pass
Surely now arteta will win the league after this change
got Saliba and Gabi the wrong way round pal
Oh ok, he lost few games in a row and fix it in 1 game. Such a genius.
Why everyone thinks they can crack Arsenal’s code?
Has he fixed ars.or just patched it up y..r.. people getting excited 4. Wait when we play bigger teams.
I don't think anything is fix yet
It was just Palace
He hasn't Palace were very poor that's it
I'd love arteta to be a maverick and play Saka at LB (but let him be a free roamer when zinny and tomiyasu were injured)
Play rice and Jorginho for defensive solidity instead
And allows us to squeeze in more attackers
White Saliba Gabriel Saka
Jorginho Rice
Odegard
Trossard Jesus Martinelli
Martinelli can tuck in when Saka overlaps
Jesus can drop into the 10 as he does, or float left or right
Were still defensively solid
this is what you did Vs Luton lol.. Dont get anyone excited
Looks like we are getting Pele n Georgie Best , total borrocks
or Palace was just shit
I've seen Palace play well this season but they were terrible on Saturday. Arteta will have to be able to make tactical shifts mid game not just one a year at a training camp
Here it fucking comes, Arsenal are title challengers again and will win the league! If they lose the next game, then they'll moan. Fucks sake, bipolar fanbase.
the thing mentioned in the headline starts at 4:50. Skip anything before that, not worth it.
Rice is not partey and that's the problem
Arteta has fixed Arsenal Fan TV?
1st!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, crystal palace haven't won at the emirates in a decade? arsenal players do this sort of thing all the time. When it counts they bottle it but against teams they've beaten in the past, they show up. I've never seen these players get angry, fight, lose like men. They never lose like men, they lose like children who show up to the basketball court against older dudes.
