This guy knows ball
I love Arteta since he came to Arsenal coz he brought passion to play for this beautiful club. He is intelligent and believed in his and clubs capabilities. He also very disciplined but not an autocrat. And he loves the club. What else you need I a manager!
Arsenal is so good they lost with Porto

1:22 Having a good stadium was Wenger's vision. Having an amazing atmosphere in the stadium is Arteta's hard work paying off. Give credit where it's due.
> Having a good stadium was Wenger's vision.
It wasn't Wenger's vision, it was the board. It's also what drove a irreconcilable wedge between David Dein and the other board members as Dein wanted a move to Wembley.
@@peterlukats937 considering how tight he was with transfers, he contributed a good bit to the cost of the stadium. Having a team that's winless in years is a bad tradeoff though.
@@peterlukats937Wenger’s vision? Don’t know about that. But he was key to the transformation of the club, literally, as he told us that his signature to the contract extension was a condition precedent for the bank to lend the club money to build the stadium. He was second to none.
@@tnix80Fine. Wenger had nothing to do with the plan to move to the new stadium. Zero. That is what I objecting to in the original comment - to suggest it was Wenger's vision is to put it mildly, absolute fertiliser.
He had input into things such as home dressing room layout and certain aspects of the new training ground at Colney but the buck stops there.
Kevin Withcer's excellent book "The Making Of A Modern Superclub" documents the move extremely well should anyone wish to properly educate themselves on the subject.

so real bruh 😂
@@B.W_edits Lol, typical plastic boy answer....clown
Hand or mouth?
Haha banging line
Honestly this account might be the best football related channel on CZcams, breaks everything down to an interesting level but doesn’t overcomplicate anything unnecessarily
Appreciate it ❤️
Exactly why i like listening and watching!!!
100% agree. It’s a mix of informative and fun.
This and FourFourTwo are my favourites. Enough jokes coupled with statistics and opinions in addition to the usual tactical diagrams
It's all about the TEAM. Not an individual player or a couple standouts. The best part about THIS Arsenal is the TEAM. I'd take that over the alternatives - without a doubt. It's a glorious thing to witness.
Right.
We don’t depend on only one player but we are still have to bring in some players to have better second players to our starters specially in the middle and Forward area.
Definitely. The high press only works when players press together. Odegaard leads this press with his relentless running and tenacity. He works so hard for the team. I remember seeing him still press after 90mins and 4-1 up against Newcastle. People who don't appreciate his game use the lazy analogy of how he never turns up in big games. Their definition of presence is only through goals and assists, but they don't see the work ethic he delivers every game. The guy works for the team first which is why he's a respected leader and why Arteta favours him. I love this team!
this is definitely why Arteta brought in Kai Havertz. hopefully more fans will start to understand kai havertz role and learn to appreciate it at the team.
@@jeffreyAdewaleIgebro at this rate, I'm not even listening to anyone again... the guy receive unnecessary bashing.. Mikel knows best ❤
Yep but would worry if Saliba got injured
You relax my heavy life everytime you upload keep it going its your thing.
The ability to be close to each other yet far enough away to play the ball is such a fine balance! Amazing to see how we’ve managed to do it
Comes down to Arteta's training and players applying what they've learnt. I shake my head every time our own fans call for his head
Perfect and Detailed analysis as usual, Bro. I never miss a video of TDK.
Thank you mate
I am the same bro, I wait every day for your videos @@DiffKnock❤
This guy giving away our plans
Different Knock OUT
Yeah man lol
If a CZcamsr has seen it you can be damn sure a whole team of analysts for a Premier league team did weeks ago...
@@JoeSteele7 it's just banter
Porto closely studied our setplays. They knew about Ben White's job to obstruct the keeper. I think Jover will mix it up, but I believe we're going to score at least 2 goals from open play. The players have learnt from last season's failures on how to deal with adversity and challenges that come with negative results. They turned up against Liverpool knowing we needed to win to stay in the title race and came out strong against Newcastle after the media blasted the team for being naive in Europe. Arteta hit the nail on the head when he made a point about Martinelli's incomplete pass to Saka in the dying seconds of the first game. He said the narrative would have been different if the ball reached Saka and he scored a goal on the break. That's just "part of football" as the manager also stated. So many people were quick to create and invent all sorts of reasons why we lost the game, but what it really came down to was a simple pass that didn't reach its target. Yes we appeared nervous initially, but this team is still young and developing. I'm confident that back at the Emirates in the 2nd tie, the team's mentality, unity and resilience will prevail.
Convict the Plastic back again with more in depth analysis and more talking to kids online.
Today his best mate Jover has told him "The players have learnt from last season's failures on how to deal with adversity and challenges that come with negative results" as shown by Arsenal being worse off now than they were last season - Genius!
But getting schooled by Porto? Plastic's not having that as "that's just part of football" because according to him this team just like the kids he speaks to online everyday are young and developing.
Proper sly, proper wrong 'un
Can we stop this unbearable condescending attitude when talking about the Porto game?
Porto had us figured out, simple as that, their mid-block was very effective, yes they were diving at times, and yes the referee was a pain but we have to adapt to UCL officiating (if you think this is bad wait until we meet Inter or Madrid). We created essentially nothing for 90min apart from corners (Porto is the best team at defending corners in Europe so make that what you will), reinterpreting an incredibly difficult pass at the 90th min+ isn't a great argument to the contrary, especially when Porto comfortably doubled our xG (1.21 vs 0.44). If the plan was to get a draw, we failed, not because we actually lost but because we deserved to lose.
Porto is the 1st team this season to successfully nullify our attack, we have lost 6 games in all comps before Porto each time I never felt like we'd been nullified offensively. Let's stop analysing that game through the lens of our recent run of form in the Prem, and admit that we were beaten in Porto.
@o3br Can we stop this unbearable condescending attitude when talking about the Porto game and worthless xG (1.21 vs 0.44) excuses for why we got absolutely schooled?
Arteta's spent 700m quid and 4 years putting a side together that would then have zero efforts on target against a side who had a CB older than he is
So please let's stop analysing that game and now all get behind the team for tonights huge FA Cup 5th round tie and hopefully go onto win it this season.
COYG ❤
One pass that didn't happen doesn't explain 0 shots on target and 0.1 open goal xg. Arteta didn't respond. We nearly got away with it but we deserved to lose that game. Hopefully we overcome Porto and it is a nothing game and result but hopefully lessons not forgotten
@virupakshawalla5734 well I hope the following explains it. Porto have only conceded 16 goals in 22 leafue games. They had a 10 game winning streak at home before they played us. They're a solid defensive team. They were up for it with the crowd behind them. Ffs, we can't win every game. No one can. Come back to me after we sort Porto out and then talk
I love the fact it’s a journey. My roommate got me interested in football and showed me his favorite team Arsenal in 2016. I’ve only missed a handful of games since then. This team feels like a reward and I hope they can all earn trophies and become club legends.
If there was a blueprint on how to eradicate the stale stagnant culture of a club. Bringing back the basics of good coaching and hunger and a team that plays for each other and the coach while improving individual players, then Arteta has made it. And yet, he is still learning as a young manager. He hasn't even reached his peak. I have no doubt Man City will try to sell their soul to have him replace Pep once he steps down. He has absolutely reinvented Arsenal. The only thing this young team is missing is the silverware, which Im confident will come. The team is only getting better and can dominate the league over the next decade.
Gotta hand it to you i didnt notice anything about the physical and tall players being at the back posts of our corners till you pointed it out really impressive work of analyst 👏🏾
I watched the All or Nothing documentary again the other day.
It’s laughable how much our team has grown since then.
It just showed me teams need time to grow and evolve together.
Such an enjoyable channel with superb, exceptional presentation...Hats off, love the content.
One of the best Arsenal analysts on YT. Period!
Such an exciting time to see once again a great Arsenal manager creating a fantastic squad and going neck and neck in a title race against other great managers with their fantastic squads.
Bro! Can I say I love you 😂 Your videos are top notch man
I see this guy everywhere I turn around ..keep it up bro love your content❤❤
Appreciate it
This guy knows how to explain in simple terms one can understand asap, subscribed.
Sometimes I wonder if you can do a 30 min video 😂😂 man you are too good, can't have enough listening to you
In Arsenal ❤we trust 🙌💯
This is the analysis we pay money for on sky etc for the pundits to give us but we have to come to CZcams to get it for free
Watching your videos makes that a blessing in disguise
Commenting this for the algorithm. Good job guy. 👏
We struggle with the mid-block. Once arteta figures that we're sorted.
What’s why Timber’s return is so crucial. He can protect the ball much better than Zinchenko in that inverted CM role. Add Rice & Jorginho to that midfield and low blocking teams will be dominated.
Excellent content mate. 👏 Keep it up.
Love your insights. I particularly like how Ben White is used during corners as someone who just blocks the keeper at the right time without it being a foul. I don't know why it's always being overlooked. Underrated player.
He's got much better at doing it without it being given as a foul, too. If you touch the keeper with your arms it will usually be given, and now just gets his whole body in the way and makes sure he's "looking at the ball" (which I think is key).
I learn something every time I watch TDK, your vids are absolute 🔥
great video like usual. knowing that it's hard, it would be so so so nice to win it to celebrate our invincibles 20th anniversary.
This is great content, thanks for putting it together
I love Arsenal. I often wonder what supporters of other teams feel they have to be proud of…. Even in the meme years I still loved them, but now… I’ve not wanted a group of players to be successful like this since forever.
Cracking vid mate! New sub🙋♂️
Quite interesting how since Dubai we've barely seen short corners... in fact I can't recall any. Wonder if it is because of the teams we've faced or we've just decided to not use them.
Wouldn't surprise me if we saw them vs Porto in the return leg though.
We might have to. They're too comfortable with the cynical approach.
@Jedimack7 Thought so too. We need to manipulate them differently kinda similar how we did at Goodison Park earlier this season.
I think it is mostly team specific. There was a game a few months ago where we *only* did short corners, so I think that was likely due to identifying a specific weakness there. But the fact that our team is especially tall ATM with 4 CBs, Havertz and Rice means that a blunter approach can often just smash the door down.
@bighamster2 Thought so too. I believe the game you're talking about in Everton away at Goodison Park earlier this season. Not once did we swing it into the box.
I also wonder if the personnel on the pitch affects this. If Zini plays instead of Kiwior we have one less big guy in the box and maybe we go shorter for some of them with Zini at the edge of the box as he normally is.
A very good technical explanation of are teams performance. Keep the faith with Arteta guys. As pep said " hes more than a good manager
Fantastic vid lad!
Very, very good content. Keep it up!
Love the videos, keep them coming. It's crazy how good this team is. That set piece coach is amazing. I've never seen such creativity in them. AND they score goals!! I say it's 50/50 for the league title. Bonus, at this time in the season, just when we need it most, injured players are returning ! Then there is the " 105 Million bargain " Declan Effin' Rice.
It's been a great season to watch. I love a good fight to the championship 🏆
Damn. You disclosed too much about our set pieces' tactics! 😮
Bro, last video u said .it's difficult to park the bus in UCL,
And Porto did it,
You are giving away strengths to everyone.
Videos are well defined perfect.
This was a very refreshing video. Those who say there's no quality or world class players in Arsenal, are entitled to be wrong
Enjoyed the positiviity, loved that ManYoo stat, come on you Gooooooners! =)
Great sense of humor my man
I love your content, I will be on every video saying the same thing, I love the insights, I love the detail and a whole lot more. I am afraid opposition teams will start watching your content and they will know our tricks lol.
What an amazing video and breakdown!
I see TDK post, I watch.
Well said 👏
You're doing a great job as well
Much love from 🇳🇬, your content is easily the best football related stuff on CZcams, keep up the good work....cheers ❤️👏
Naija to the world .
Excellent video, thanks
Can I request or suggest some content that would be good to watch.
The Porto home game, an analysis before the game of how arsenal can exploit their weaknesses any opportunities and how you think the team will be set up ect ect.
I love your content tho bro, I’m subscribed
Good stuff!
It was strange to miss the Porto game in the analysis, we're a great team worth celebrating. That said it's a weakness we can't access central zones..We rely on going ahead early to open up teams and hurt them on transitions. The box midfield can improve massively!
Good video bro
Basic knowledge in systems thinking will help in our understanding of whats happening.
A system is a group of interconnected elements working together to achieve a common goal. Each component within a system has a designated function or role, and each role is essential for the system to function effectively. This concept emphasizes the importance of organization and synergy within a system, where every piece fits into its designated place, and every place accommodates its corresponding piece to ensure smooth operation and optimal performance.
I think arteta has put his perfect playing as a football player has been put onto the field maybe the most underrated Spanish player ever people forget he was the arsenal captain he ended his career as arsenal.
after watching a video from Rory, this feels like a massage to the brain
Love from Australia mate. I genuinely look forward to this content more than any other.
Thank you mate!
Great video bro❤👏
History is being made with this team. What a crazy time to be an Arsenal fan.
I think it's time we recognize that maybe Arteta's greatest skill, and perhaps his weakness is his ability to recognize the skills of the people he brings to the project. I mean, set piece coach? And of course the players.
But perhaps in recognizing what could be improved has also resulted in him stepping on toes and hurting egos. Perhaps he could be less single minded in that, but he is uncompromising. He expects Arsenal to be at the top, and anyone who is distracted from that goal is perceived as a weak link.
Perhaps once Arteta has dragged us back to the summit, he will sit down and see the bodies of those we lost along the way and be more forgiving moving forward.
Great comment 👍
I love his uncompromising approach. Great leaders don't try to please everyone
@@EmperorDraconianIV This. Harsh as it seems at times to us regular folks, you do not make it to the top in this game without being both ambitious & ruthless.
If we lose people a long the way its probably for a good reason. Of course you forgive mistakes and errors, everyone is human. But if you're not up to the task... then it's an unforgiving business, if you want to be at the pinnacle 🤷♂
I haven't seen Saliba,William Saliba progress the ball with full confidence for the entirety of the season,vs Newcastle he was 10-15 metres away from the defensive line dribbling the ball, getting close to Saka-Ødegaard. Saliba normally(this season) is very cautious &patient on the ball. That's the one change which surprised me,we were so eager to snatch the ball,press Newcastle that everyone probably played 10-15 metres higher than their actual average position
We are freaking good. Something that could be improved is our sharpness in front of both goals. Usually we concede from individual errors and miss belters down to lack of precision. However that is usually how things fail in a tactically solved meta and as such this is not an easy thing to do. I´d much rather have 2-3 mistakes more pr. game while retaining the way we play now than removing all individual mistakes and losing our pressure play, energy off the ball, passion, well as you say basically everything else.
Distances between your team mates during possession is crucial to beating the press. It requires players to have a touch and go mindset....touch the ball, pass it AND make yourself available in a good position to receive the ball....and we go again.
I never thought personally that the patterns of play were an issue, rather the fact that the distances between players were indeed too big in the first half of the season or even in Porto game.
Got me tingling. COYG
Arteta is a genius . The definition of an immensely hard working deep thinking brave experimenter is exactly what arteta is.
In the past you’ve talked about other teams’ “inevitable” players like Salah tearing up any defense or KDB finding a ball to Haaland.
Our version of that is our attacking movements and rotations. We just keep plugging and keep doing the right things with variations. The rotations between Saka/White/Ødegaard, everyone is either receiving the ball or moving into space. No one wastes time on the ball. If an attack isn’t on, recycle and move to a new position. If we keep doing the right attacking movements, we’ll get a chance
0:57 That caught me so off guard 😂
All this hidden behind the one simple fact that Arsenal are still struggling to get the 1st goal from open play.
So when teams like Porto disrupt our set pieces we absolutely start to struggle to even get a shot on target.
Same thing happened against West Ham, Fulham, Aston Villa in December.
At Fulham Arsenal had the first goal from a Martinelli counter attack. Fulham issue was the line up. We needed a double pivot to control the midfield and also Kivwior struggled to play the Zinchenko role of inverting....
Bro this is a lie😂😂😂😂. We can't win every match..we will have bad days
@@benjamindadzie9657 What's a good day to you Jaffa and what other new excuses do you have?
This is probably your best video ever
Of the people you listed towards the end of the vid, you missed Timber. Keen to see how he slots in when he’s back.
We are cookin 🔥
I agree with you TDK, we're almost there. By there I mean winning the league of course. I don't think we need to go crazy in the summer, just shift 3-4 players that don't fit our current system, and bring in some fresh profiles that would add even more to our depth. Imagine if we could swap players like Eddie (sorry), Ramsdale (Sorry), Reece (sorry), etc and bring in some real talent. Then our squad would be ready. Just need that extra 5% of quality within our ranks and we can shoot for the stars.
We need less injury prone in squad.
That City comment at the end subtracted from the overall excellent momentum of this video.
Thanks
I feel Jorginho needs a special mention the last few games he’s freeing up a lot of space for everyone I think
My man
God. This video made me smile. The Different Knock doing therapy videos.
Have yall ever considered that when you analyse the tactics, albeit its content, you’re informing and helping teams “catch on” to what we are doing? Lol
just need to see this team dominate for the next decade and become the most decorated in england only 10 or so trophies off COYGGG !
Was great to see you on The Gooner Talk!
Really enjoyed this, good content. However how did Porto manage to nullify our tactics?
We are still poor at the mid-block. We still rely on a set piece goal to open up the team from using the mid-block. Once we master this weakness, we will be truly scary.
The "net" is speak for "rest defense" and we now have the best rest defense in the league and are top 5 in the world. #1 reason.
Hey diff knock, i think you should get a board printed up to go behind you like when players/managers get interviewed on tv - get a grid of your logos on it to start and then add sponsors when you get them!
No doubt we are the best team in the league in ever aspects❤ at moments, we just need to consenting continued then we gone win the championship🎉🎉🎉 go gunners and bringing home the championship and the champion league🎉🎉
Been following you for over a year, i am a fan .weldone fellow gooner
Arteta just isn't a normal manager. He's still young and only got a handle hand full of seasons behind him as a manager compared to several others.
Yet his ability to transform arsenal from a failing team that had to fight tooth and nail to qualify for champions league football, to a team that is challenging for the league that has a team that just won the treble, and despite our loss against Porto, overall we've dominated our games in the champions league.
We're such a good side, I can never understand how some people still have doubts about Arteta
You can never understand everyone 😂😂😂
@@benjamindadzie9657 Says Jaffa who struggles to understand everything....
That Declan rice line was incredible
I would agree. We are not too bad at football. 😂
That first half was unbelievable!!!
Tbh I can’t believe this is the new Arsenal 😮
Can't lie just realized our Corner tactics is literally how I've been seeing up for corners since Fifa 22. Tbf it works for me, how did I not clock this earlier ! wow.
BTW, Someone give this kid a contract on network TV. Bro doing better analysis that Sky I can't lie
Stick to playing FIFA 22 boy
Arsenal's set piece coach deserves a raise.
Can you do a analysis on liverpool? Im a arsenal fan but since we are 3rd even if best on form i would want to hear why are pool top and keep winning?
Genius is a very strong word, he´s a very good coach but you have to win things before being called a genius.
it’s embarrassing
Genius isn’t about winning. Bielsa is considered a genius coach. Hasn’t won much of anything.
@@nicklikethesoupyeah mate but Bielsa inspired a generation, you have decades of management to back that off, unlike Arteta who is only starting.
It is, and oddly enough, it's a word that's been used to describe him by several of our players too. I'd take their word for it, personally.
@@Amberle73because players talk so much sense. I prefer my genius managers to actually win things, weird concept i know, winning things, these days you get a participation medal for about anything.
We are unreal. We need to cap this with a league win. I pray it happens this season.
Phase of play we’re still bad at: in possession against a low block. Game states we’re still bad at: drawing and losing positions. The majority of our first goals come from corners, if that doesn’t work we’re in trouble.
