That Mike Tyson analogy from Merse was top tier.
Absolutely bang on 💯
Michael Johnson was not and never competed in any Hurdling competitions
@@marcusclark5330That’s why I said his “Mike Tyson analogy” the one before that comment.
Buster Douglas disagrees
@@marcusclark5330 But you get the point he was making right?
And those are his first 169 games as a manger altogther. Klopp had been managing for 10 years when he joined Liverpool.
He also spent less money and had a worse squad so it’s swings and roundabouts
great point that y impressive
it says for the premier league only?
@BonitaUzABum VVD? Salah? Mane? Alison? Wijnaldium? These core players he spent alot on before he spent nothing
5 years and one FA cup. When he's done something, come back
To be fair, the other 5 managers are probably the top 5 greatest managers in prem history so it’s a good sign someone as young as him is up there
Wdym probably?
I’m sure when Arteta’s done, unless he ever goes to Barca, this’ll be the top 5 of all time
And Ferguson's stats are fake. They only counted from 92 onwards as if his time before never existed!
Exactly there's only crack and geniuses, and man leaders in that list
It's a sign that the game is less competitive these days but okay, Arteta's the best since sliced bread 😂

I think the fans are key to us challenging next season again...this team needs to be applauded to the roof even if we fall short this season to keep the morale of the players high going into the next season.

@@artetaDagoat Init. Like you're stronger this year than last year, I honestly think depends on your group, next seasons ucl I'd put you lot in top 4 favourites
The mike tyson example from merson 🤣 so true
Elaborate
He took over a much worser team than most these managers and would undoubtedly have got to 100 much quicker taking over an established top team. Not to mention it's his first managerial job unlike all the managers on that list. Absolutely incredible
Plus the league is much more demanding now as well
if you wanna bring variables into it arteta was assistant to the greatest manager of all time so his learning experience is better than the others
@@grantmcroberts4089 No,emery good against top clubs,but he making lot mistakes against lower clubs.

@@jmo4952 hahah challenging for what? spurs had a world class striker and prime son and all you can say is they were challengers with one fluke champions league final? Dont bother bringing that banter club in the conversation 😂😂
Every single manager in that list were already established. This is Tetas first managerial job. Respect
I don't care who doesn't respect Mikel. I respect him massively just like most Arsenal fans do. Well said, Merson 👍
Wasn't long ago you were all calling for his head, last year in fact.. Then more of you lot slaughtering him after munich
@@dipenbhana602 "You were all"? do you know how much of a percentage of the fanbase you get to see comments from? Sigh
@@dipenbhana602happens in football. Same dynamic with Ferguson at the start of his united career.
Can understand fans being impatient when you watch rivals celebrating all the time.
Not an Arsenal fan btw
@@dipenbhana602 I never personally called for his head.
Obviously you gotta respect him, he’s never managed before Arsenal loll and he’s flaming challenging for two years now. I’m a united fan aswell.
Couldn't agree more with Mike Dawson's points.
He can't talk about title.😊
😂😂😂
Arsenal are like jamaica athletic teams coming up, while some others were on steroids and ban substances. One day, one day, they will do it. This club was in the gutter. As old saying goes, it's not where you coming from it's where you are going. Massive respect to arsenal board for trusting their manager and stick to their plans.
Arsenal are still a very young team and just getting started this will be a big summer transfer window, just hope city draw once I think Fulham
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂looool truss me
What a crazy analogy. Arsenal spend money Jamaica as a country is very poor, I’m Jamaican so I know what I’m talking about. I represent my country in 2011 U20 World Cup qualifiers in Guatemala. Arsenal spend half a billion won major trophies before. So cut it
@@imthecreatorofmyrealitymyf700 his analogy makes sense tho bro perfectly. Jamaica had Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake losing to USA , gatlin who was caught doping twice. Till Jamaica come up nd started breaking records
@@SM52F_IS naw. That’s garbage. Arsenal is not an underdog plus no one is cheating, they just have a bottling mentality.
I love this team. As a Gooner since 1981, it's been a journey of highs and lows - and, sadly, more lows than highs in recent years. But Arteta has brought back our club - and, perhaps more importantly, that connection with the fans that means so much. But I agree with Micah and Mers - Havertz is doing an amazing job upfront, but imagine if this team had an Oshimen or similar. It'd be killzone upfront.
Anything to do with Arsenal doesn’t receive the respect it deserves because their rival fans are struggling to accept them being elite again after the banter days.
elite? you haven't won anything
@@Hammerschoolyou are what he’s talking about
Elite?they won nothing
@@Hammerschool You are literally proving his point🤦🏽♂️
@@picklesensei arsenal are a small club?
He had the likes of Mustafi and Sokratis to deal with at first as well lol
Don't remember Johnson doing hurdles lol but see his point
I believe he was a 400 meter runner... and unbelievable!
Yh Merse must have been on the powder when he see Michael Johnson running hurdles. Only 400m & 200m
Merse was thinking of Ed Moses
Every summer the recruitment is key, absolutely key. As important as anything and the arsenal board and team know this.
Rice and timber were eaxctly what arsenal needed. But there was a time for every single arsenal fan, that we werent sure whether 65m was well spent on havertz. He is still somewhat of an enigma for me - hes really fit in well and made a decent contribution last 10 games and makes things tick along. As cesc recently said, he does the basic things really well. Hes clearly a natural footballer and has an almost ozil brain - you saw the cross field pass and the cross for sakas two chances against spurs (goal and volley).
But, and heres the but - can arsenal afford to go into next season sitting on all the above? Absolutely not. If city go and sign halaand after winning the league with a false 9, and go on to do the treble -thats how high we need to be thinking. We absolutely need another top top forward, someone who can win the game on his own, create something out of nothing. Sanchez, rvp, henry - this level. If we sign a striker at this level then we will be ready on the hunt next season.
Another key at this stage is not losing any more top players or first team starters. We saw what it meant to lose xhaka this season. Big teams are built on big players staying at the clubs for many years. We have to not supply barca real city psg this season and go again next season
confidence is massive in sport. city are just good and confident
We can still definitely improve our squad. We can and should upgrade on Jesus (striker) and Zinny (LB, inv). And then we go again.
I'm feeling quite hungry now 😂
10 games behind klopp is crazy. Remember the team Jurgen took over and the years it took to build a serious title contender? That man is special
Exactly. Klopp deserves way more respect that he gets. The only reason Jose and Pep are ahead of the rest is money
Yeah but the era is different, arteta took over a team that was 8th. Not only that, City and Liverpool and Chelsea were light years ahead of arsenal, Infact every big 6 team was.
@@shakoor3218 money is far from the only reason
@@omother6950Liverpool weren't light years they were finishing mid table every season till Klopp got there
@@omother6950liverpool where 8th to and Arteta spent 700 m in 4 years while Klopp spent 400 m in that period..
Done a great job at Arsenal deserves a trophy. Merson always entertaining to listen to.
Mikel is a special manager
Arsenal had their first team players in Timber, Partey, Jesus and Tomiyasu missing most of the season. It’s a miracle that Arteta was able to compete this long against City with the squad he had . Imagine a city team without Rodri, Halland, Walker and Gvardiol for most of the year. City wins because of the second 11 they have and not first 11. Arsenal need to match that. I mean how many goals Zinchenko this year or Saka looked out of sorts because of exhaustion. Last year they couldn’t do it because of playing with Holding instead of Saliba in crucial end games and I think it was their best chance against city.
Load of waffle lol, we've had big injuries this year and your squad depth when factoring injuries in is very similar to our at this point. I don't get why people always downplay city with this 'untouchable squad' like gomez, Lewis, ake, akanji, kovacic, nunes, doku, bobb, alvarez bench is absolute world class depth that were all supposedly world-beaters before they came to city...
You moron alot of teams had injuries thats no excuse. Liverpool were fielding an entire youth team at one point but strangely enough kept winning. It was only until salah and trent came back tht they dropped points.
1:05 Roy Keane's brain/wry smile listening to the excuse of "unlucky"
Respect indeed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lance Armstrong is the analogy you’re looking for Merson…
You're dead wrong. Lance was a fraud.
Ed Moses...close Merse.
Still...decent shout... 😊
Impressive when you consider Sir Alex played three seasons where each team played 40 games, and won the Premier League 2 of those seasons. Arteta on the other hand was finishing 8th, 8th, 5th, 2nd and (currently)1st.
Speaks to the quality of teams currently playing. Fergie had less competition
@@jokedejojoMy bad. I meant there was 22 teams in the league instead of 20🤦.So 40 games.
All that proves is it was a more competitive league back then...
You'd race to 100 wins these days playing the dross that currently in the prem.
@@haterushnun More competitive? You're either young or drunk for that. Man Utd won their first two Premier League titles with practically no challenge. Blackburn won the third ever Premier League just because they had a lot of money. You're talking absolute nonsense. Give your head a wobble. There has never been a less competitive Premier League then those first 3 or 4 Premier League seasons. The first competitive Premier League season was 97-98.
@@franklingoodwin the bigger the points parity between top and bottom the less competitive the league is. Simple maths. Arteta has finished 8th twice and is the 5th fastest to win 100 games. How? Because it's less competitive...
ETH is on a faster trajectory to 100 wins than Arteta, but that obviously doesn’t fit your agenda
😂😂. They we discussing facts and not making predictions. Let him get his 100 to join the conversation
Timing and the level of quality in the league definitely does a play a part. Arsenal are taking advantage of that but there is still one juggernaut in their way (Man City) 😅
I also have a feeling that the league has lost its quality, the VaR rules were brought to make it better but unfortunately have led to horrific decision making and poor match officials. I think Arsenal has improved a lot but that doesn't exclude the fact the treatment of the big five teams by the officials hasn't been fair at all. Some teams the reffs tend to be so strict but some intentional carelessness is observed and no one is talking about it.
Merson is absolutely right. City is a freak of a beast like Tyson was. That said. I firmly believe The Arsenal have it in them from top to bottom.
You wanna be the best? You gotta beat the best.
Arteta and this team with a couple of the right players to give that extra 3-5% boost can. It needs a squad, too. 3-5 players total. I #6 to start consistently with Rice in the left 8 role. A versatile forward, or two. RB cover for White, maybe a true left back and/ or RCB to cover Saliba. That assumes a few departures and only outfield. Rest will be to replace leaving positions that couldn't be filled by some of the outstanding youth prospects, too.
Congratulations 🎊 👏
I think he’s done a brilliant job. The state Arsenal were in and they were way off the mark he’s managed to develop them into one of the top sides in England and progressed in the championship league. Hes made some decent signings and the clubs starting to show some ambition again. Problem is how long will it last? Liverpool challenged cities dominance but they are bount to fall of the perch when Klopp leaves. Chelsea have became a money spending mess since ab left, United are spinning there wheels, Newcastle United have got the financial backing and ambition to challenge City but financial fair play is holding them back. Can Arsenal hold on to its top stars when the likes of City and Real Madrid come knocking? They can’t offer the same wages as them type of clubs can. Like I say Arteta has proven himself however I don’t think he can take himself to the next level with Arsenal.
First senior managerial job aswell
Not bad for a rookie Manager! 👏👏👏
2:01 has he not been fed 😂.
He’s a trophy away from being a great. People can disagree but if he wins the prem this season? He’s proved a lot of people right and wrong.
He ain't winning the league
There has to be a clip somewhere that showed a 180 idk if he means it now
How many pundits do you need in the studio! Sheeesshh
Last season Arsenal finished with 88 points and this season on course for 89 points. Any rivals praying for Arsenal not to win the PL, need to hope that Guardiola stays at Man City. Arsenal with the 2nd youngest team in the Prem scoring the most goals and conceding the fewest (28 goals) expect brilliant signings like Declan rice and Havertz to continue. COYG! Arsenal are only getting better!!!! ❤️🩹
@@Blaze-2457Salty… much? 😂
@@Blaze-2457Arsenal first CL season in a long time and they reached the quarters. How long did it take for Man City to win the CL? 10 years! Calm down. The future is bright for Arsenal and with more experience improving year on year. Eg a generational talent like Saliba is 23. We keep dreaming!
84 points, not 88
Arsenal finished with 84 points last season, not 88. I think 88 was the number of goals they scored
@@etiennemusic1207yeah always mix them two up. Minor, Man City won the league on 89 points, Arsenal win the last 3 games and finish on 89 points too 😁
Did any of the other managers on the list spend 700mil before they got to 100 wins?
Try to have sense before talking.was the market so inflated back then? Declan rice was probably at most 30million during the1990s
@@ekeneemeife8389 n which prem team signed a player for 30 mil in the 90s?
Merse talks like hes in the pub with his mates, cracks me up
400 metre hurdles reference from Paul Merson.
i think he meant Ed Moses who went unbeaten from 1977 to 1987 in competitive 400 hurdle races although michael johnson also had a unbeaten run in championships it was in 200 metre race...that being said Paul Merson views on football are insightful...like the panel said can't see man city losing with the experience and squad quality available but hoping for a miracle even to stop the monotony
Johnson also ran 400m (think he did that before also doing 200m), won both 200 and 400 at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 if memory serves me correctly.
He also didn't lose a 400m race for 4,5 years too.
Yeah, he meant Johnson in the 400m, not the 400m hurdles
I've doubted Arteta a lot, but that's a mad stat
Never understood the doubt. From the moment he came in, if you watched the behind the scenes stuff, you could see all the positive changes he was making and the clubs progression.
Lets give him a trophy
that Tyson analogy is so good - like no matter how amazing you are - you are not beating Tyson at his peak - even if you are 2nd - and miles ahead of 3rd - you are still not gonna be first in mike tyson era.... Arteta is just unlucky timing no one else can beat Pep at City.... only Klopp did it - and he had to win 27 of the first 29 games that year to do it... hopefully some day pep gets tired and leaves and we can have an Arteta era!
In his first job as well. Well done.
JHEEZ PEP IS ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL ✅🐐
He had a title challenging team when he joined, and got a blank cheque almost since he arrived too.
It is still a great record, but he definitely had the easiest task to get to 100 wins of those on the list
Give Arteta or Klopp the team Pep inherited plus the money he spent and I'm sure they'd have got to that amount of wins a lot quicker....
@@DaleHarris-hf8js Klopp wouldve won the quadruple every season in charge if he had the money and team that Pep has had.
Klopp doing this with Skrtel, Mignolet and Lovren is mental.
I agree to an extent. But Jesus and Nketiah have 9 league goals between them so far. We have a weakness at LB, and I love Jorginho, but Partey has been injured all season. Fix our front three, get Timber fit, and get a reliable replacement for Partey and I'm sure we can go one better next season and actually win the league.
He's only 40 years old too.
Easy to forget this is his first job. He’s done an excellent job turning Arsenal around because he inherited a mess. The next step now is to win the league but considering no one other than Klopp has stopped Pep and that was only once, you’ve got to cut him some slack.
Klopp inherited a bang average side so took him awhile to start getting wins under his belt. Pep as the top sides.
'Docket' 😂
I was wrong about him, and im glad i was COYG
Wrong he hasn't won anything
@@grantmcroberts4089 won the fa Cup in 2020 mate
In fairness, Jurgen Klopp had a massive gap to bridge a few years ago also when City got 100 points total but then Liverpool strengthened their squad in key areas and became Champions within the next 2 years.
That chart is excellent as hes a rookie compated t the rest whose 19-23yrs+ experienced
Very true. Nobody was more unlucky than Liverpool over recent years. Getting the 2nd best ever points tally and still not winning the league haha
The other 4 managers above him have all won the PL and CL though, he needs to do the same👍
all the other managers had previous experience with other clubs, remember, this is the first club Arteta is manager of.
Good analysis from Mers
I respect the manager,I respect the players. The fans are a different matter.
Roy Keane changing the subject from Arsenal to Manchester City, Suprise Suprise 😂
Trust the process
Arteta deserve more credit and amazing to be in such a stat.Of course it was easy for Guardiola being at a buying club.Massive respect to both Klopp and Arteta.
Mancini was at the same City, Pellegrini too...they both went to this same buying club
Do they have any records closer to Pep's...when they enjoyed the complete 115 charges from 2008-2018?
I think the Arsenal fans themselves are also culpable. There is a trepidation and lack of confidence among them at times and you can feel it, it's palpable. Even when City are 3rd in the league, their fans are still confident and upbeat and assured. When Arsenal draw or lose a game their fans often become resigned to the fact it was almost inevitable, which does not help the team. Listen to the crowd in the Bayern and Villa games, they did not sound confident at all, there was a real feeling of tension in that stadium in both those games. Arsenal, for me, have probably looked better when they're away from home because they don't have that weight of 60,000 hesitant fans bearing down on them.
Guardiola is an unbelievable coach his stats are jnsane
Wow those stats😮
In all fairness Arsenal have done well. The Havertz and Reya signings were random and they appeared a mistake, but they have come good. Timber has been unlucky too. They need a solid left back to compliment White on the other side (as they have a few ok ones, but it could be stronger) and probably a striker. I would sell Jesus, unless he's happy being benched.
Michael Johnson won the 110 meter hurdles and 400 meter hurdles in the same Olympics. Paul is right. Nobody could get near him over the hurdles🤣🤣🤣
Trophies are important, but they're not indicative of managerial skill. The job of a great coach is to constantly put your team into positions where they can ultimately achieve greatness. Pep, in 9 years and with a squad, has only had 2 finals appearances and in both Finals they were outclassed, yet they split them.
Fergie needed two miracles for his UCL triumph.
Arsenal is nowhere near the talent level the City is in yet they've gone blow for blow in the league for 2 years now, then there are team like Liverpool, Chelsea and United who are way more talented but Arsenal have bested them. Unai Emery is also the perfect example of this.
Didn't he sometime ago say Arteta is nownout of his depths😂😂
Paul Merson was such a top player, my word.
Michael Johnson 400m hurdles 🤣🤣 Merse is on a different planet
Andy Murray timing as well
I think once we, and I absolutely love Kai, get an elite striker, the title is Arsenal’s to lose.
Kai will still have his moments. But Arsenal needs a striker. The question is, who is out there?
Merson was on point here.
This is Arteta's first managerial appointment.
Arteta inherited a backline of Kolasinac, Mustafi, Holding, Chambers, Bellerin.
Merse sweating on his accumulator
Love that analogy from Merson - “If Mike Tyson’s about you’re not winning the title” such a way with words he has 😂
“If he was in a book you’d read the book and go that can’t happen”
He took over a team in disarray… got rid of aubameyang, ozil and pepe. Pep and Mo did it with the most expensive squads in world football. This is his 1st job for flip sakes. He’s special
Give him the trophy for fastest manager to 100 wins then👍
Did you listen or you just skimmed through this video or went straight to comment after reading the title?
He’s won 1 trophy and we’re meant to respect him ?
To ACTUALLY be fair, compare the players each manager started with and how much others have spent. He's easily on top.
Arteta is practically a newbie in management so these stats are phenomenal obviously u want to win something but coming up against established managers and teams like city will be tough all we can do is take it to the last game and see what happens
Ok I will use this for slot when he can't beat pep or areta never had big club
👍
Roy Keane abit bitter look at his face 💥
Every word PM says is true,he forgot to say gunnaz going to win EPL this season.
Docky and Kovetich - great players
You know...
Peps gone after the 4th Prem title in a row - even quicker if any of those charges come to fruition - he's gonna go off and chill on a sabatical and contemplate his next move imo..
0:58 hate to be that guy but Michael Johnson ran the 400m flat not the hurdles. But the point makes sense
Everton legend!
Meson has some questionable opinions, but this was all spot on
Unai Emery clear
He is absolutely correct with the Mike Tyson statement. It’s just such a shame we are competing with a team like Man City. The points we are accumulating should be title winning points but city just seem to always have the extra edge
They won’t do next season with the 40 points deduction
Arteta is a brand new manager and his first job is Arsenal. All these managers have experience.
Arteta has fixed the unfixable.
2011 he been there for 13 years THATS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME! 😭😂😂
We all know Arteta will win major trophies in next years
