    Spot on James. Havertz at Bayer L. was one of they most sought after talents in Europe. He mostly played as a creative midfielder, and was brilliant. At Chelsea he was mostly a false 9, but a creative player needs enough forwards in front of them to be effective, he didn't really get this at Chelsea. I wanted him with us at LFC back before he went to Chelsea. He will be great for arsenal, I'm sure of it.

      @callumclancy3512 Před 9 měsíci +15

      Havertz played as a creative midfielder for Chelsea for a while and was awful, his most prolific position by far was as a false nine/inverted winger playing alongside timo werner who used his pace to draw off defenders and give Havertz a lot of space. Havertz needs a lot of space to do wel with the ball because he’s not particularly skilful or nimble and his decision making isn’t great, and he’s certainly not creative, so he isn’t suddenly gonna be a good midfielder for arsenal. His strength (if he has one) is finding space in the box and putting away tap ins. I see him as having a similar mold to Thomas muller just not as good, so doubt he will be a good cm

    I think Arteta this season is trying to make us more unpredictable, our new signings have enabled us to do this and change our systems. For the opening day I was actually fine with seeing mistakes in the second half - I'm hoping we peak towards the end of the season rather than peak and the beginning and fall off towards the end like we did last year.

      Tbh we didn't fall of towards the end of last season. It was a lack of squad depth especially when we lost key players, particularly Saliba. There was no replacement and Rob holding was just not anywhere near Saliba's level and the system suffered. This season we have Timber well now injured, Ben white, Tomiyasu, and Kiwior who can all interchange, and a deeper squad to allow for that even if one or 2 players get injured.

    Thank god sonebody can analyse that game and see that it wasn't a nervy opener where arsenal edged out forest. The first half, where the game was won and lost, was a demolition job. 84% possession and 2-0 up isnt edging past. I think the key point ppl are missing is that whilst the system is fluid and tactically genius, the players are still getting to grips with it and also they were just a little slow on the day so all the more impressive that they bested a low block like that when not rlly performing at their vrilliant best. It just shows that the system works. Especially impressive as a big part of that game plan must have been to do with injuries to zinchenko, jesus, gabriel (apparently he was ill or had a knock midweek) and (midway through the game) timber. A huge amount of flexibilty shown despite all that damage personel wise at the back WITHOUT A HOLDING IN SIGHT. These rlly are new and exciting times

    It is going to take time to get everything into perfect position - while some may call it slow i call it Patience and Progressiveness. They didn't have to expend too much energy either because they weren't being pressed or Nottingham Forest weren't trying to win the ball back. I was very pleased overall with the performance of everyone. It's not always about how many goals one scores it's about how certain players will create that little space to thread a ball, or other avenues that will lead to goals.

      If you’re Chelsea , there’s no standout Chelsea player for these past 2 years. Everyone is either average or lower than that. But now under Poch, I can see they will rise again . So good luck with that and get the top 4 again
      If you’re Arsenal fans, Harvertz just join the team. Arteta tactical is super detail. The players needs to follow A-Z what Arteta wants then the tactical will be perfect and the players will look amazing. What Haverts did well is to get less mins but still following what Arteta wants but only 30-50%.
      Look at his running in the box . Look at the chance created , look at the aeriel duel, the foul he gets and so on. It’s overall game that we look into. If saka and Rice scored the chance they get , Harvertz will get two assist already . There’s one big chance Nketiah I think he didn’t pass to Harvertz when he clear alone , but Nketiah wants to shoot .
      Give him time . I believe Harvertz will get 10 goals and 10 assists (if he get proper game time)

Rice can be a 6 or 8 and outside the box shooter. And kai. Makes a lot of sense. 24, tall, cl experience. Intelligent player. Can cover for lw, cf, rw, rm. Cam, lm. Give him a year and he will surprise people. He scored more goals then mount, Salah, and kdb at Chelsea at 32 goals. in 3 years. He was our second highest scorer in preseason tied with saka. I mean last year he was shit. And only scored 2 goals less then not Haaland that man u just signed for more money.

    Arsenal might have"won the transfer window" this season when it comes to adding something to the squad, that it was lacking and progressing the overall abbility to apply new tactics.
    Specially the Havertz signing showed a lot of competence, since the guy ('member-he was one of the most wanted young offensive players in Europe, when Chelsea signed him - now you have defenders and cmds going for nearly double the money) was criminally misplayed at CFC (reminded me of the tragedy of Shinji Kagawa at ManU).
    Might well be the most exiting top team this year looking at the whole package of players + manager + tactics.

    I'm really shocked at how many opposition fans are here questioning who's watched the game.
    As an arsenal fan I was unhappy we didn't punish forest and win 4/5-0 (ok forest could have had a second with the first half chance, but it was very fortunate and accounted for 70% of their XG). However, we were clearly the dominant side, had plenty of opportunities to kill the game to.
    First game of the season to, not at full fitness or cohesion, vs a very very low block.
    The reality is, it was comfortable, the score line just doesn't reflect that (the score line doesn't always reflect the performance, I know, shock right?).
    In fact the performance was as good as cities, they were just far more ruthless which we need to add to the game.
    The best 3 teams this weekend was Newcastle, city, arsenal in that order.
    Thinking arsenal are average based on that performance just shows you're watching through bias and you aren't looking for anything good.

    Timing of the players was off especially in the final third. Conceded a goal when players not up to match fitness were against fresh Forest subs. Some sloppy passing. Right hand bias where players have several years of familiarity versus left hand newbies. Great game from Martinelli. The improvement of the team over pre season is very very impressive. Another couple of weeks and they will start snapping together.

    It’s a shame that Timber is out as I feel he really offered this system a lot of protection. Whoever fills in has to be a solid player capable of playing a CB. Tomiyasu can do it but his injury record isn’t great either. I’m not sure how Zinchenko fits as Partey’s role as the inverted RB gives the team more defensive protection and allows Rice more freedom.

    it makes a lot of sense to me what Arteta is doing this season. We want to be dominant and attacking, so we don't need two number 6s. Partey in that hybrid RB/CM role is perfect. Rice has the quality to be the only CM/CDM at times. That allows Havertz to go on that second no 10 position, where he's much(!) better positioned compared to his false 9 role at Chelsea. It also creates more fluidity in front of the box, which is exactly what Arsenal need. We need more of that one-touch-football that we used to be so known for in th 00s. Two number 10s also create spaces for the wingers. Now all we need is to be clinical in front of goal, I really hope Eddie can step up this season

  • @jonathanyeong324
    @jonathanyeong324 Před 9 měsíci +1

    I've written off Havertz. If he cannot even sort out his position at Chelsea...then what more at Arsenal? The only reason why I see him playing is because Arteta seems to think he has the height advantage to win headers and be physical with opponents. Hence, leaving out poor Trossard on the bench.
    Problem is - Trossard has been effective whether hes on the bench or not. Havertz complicate things for Arsenal because it means Trossard don't get to play.
    I really cannot see what Arteta sees in Havertz.... this guy's decision making in the final third is questionable and he cannot finish. We need someone to actually at the very least get the shots on target and Havertz is not that guy.
    Trossard needs to start seriously. He has the technical abilities to be a false nine and he is rather quite clinical

    I'm surprised you didn't have any quotes from managers about third man runs here, as this is what it appears Arteta is constantly trying to create and use throughout the entirety of the build up phrase. I think that's the key with Havertz as well. It's not about what he does with the ball but the space he creates for others without it. He's gonna create a ton of goals for others just with his movement and pulling defenders away.

      @@mkodyChallengesYOu I think that's the idea behind positional play, create an Infinite amount of third man runs so 1 of 2 things happen to the opposing team. 1. The players get physically tired having to constantly track back and watch the spaces they're in or follow the right players. 2. Players get mentally tired and the attacking team pounces on a lapse in concentration as soon as a bit of space is created for someone to run into. Case in point, Newcastle vs City last night.

    Xhaka had 14g/a last season while covering for Zinny, so Havertz needs at least 20g/a to cover for his lack of defence. I don't think he can do that, I think he could help us up top tho, especially now with Jesus out. I'd take him over Nketiah.
