Officially holding my hands up here! Matt Turner and Austin Trustee are NOT PR signings and I was very wrong on the level of the MLS. Happy to be proven wrong. COYG
Absolutely spot on Manu. Turner looks really good but just needs more game time yeah?
Jersey guy here, RBNY supporter. Alphonso Davies is an MLS product. So is Miguel Almirón. Those are only two examples. Tons of players are using MLS (we don't use the article here) as a springboard to Europe.
Matt Turner played for New England Revs and, while solid, I wouldn't have picked him as player Arsenal would be interested in. But he has visibly improved as a ball playing keeper. He replaced Zack Steffen, a back up at ManCity, as the #1 for the US, and his World Cup play really showcased his growth. I'm very happy with him.
Auston Trusty is a different story. A guy I literally never heard of until his connection with the Arsenal came up, he was horrible during Concachampions and his last league matches with Colorado before going to Europe. I started to watch a Birmingham vs Burnley match a few weeks ago (wanted to see what all the Kompany commotion was all about) and was surprised to see Trusty starting for the Blues. Within the first three minutes he was directly responsible for the first Burnley goal. I haven't seen him any other time. I have no clue why the Arsenal signed him because I've never seen him play well. Maybe you can tell me.
I'm just curious to see if Matt Turner wants a move sometime in the near future. I think he's good enough to start for some EPL teams. Might be another situation where we have 2 quality GK but at the end one of them wants to leave
@@javierlandaverde4108Given the number of keepers at the Arsenal who went on to make names for themselves away from the club (Szczęsny at Juve and Poland, Fabiański for West Ham and Poland, Emi Martínez for Villa and Argentina) I wouldn't be surprised if Turner was picked up by a Brighton or Brentford or Leeds.
@@Azabaxe80 I kind of see him as a short term rental. He was brilliant at New England Revolution. Prob took a risk going to Arsenal to get his name out in the European market and get more attention. So far, its gone to plan.
Lokonga's confidence is absolutely shot to pieces. I'm not sure if he's going to make it here tbh. Need's game time. He's definitely not a 6, which doesn't help when he's asked to play there for us.
I remember last pre-season and Arteta played Sambi in that Martin Odegard role and he did great in the pre-season games. Showed more flair and passes and he even scored in the pre-season. I don't think 6 is his position. As long as he doesn't have the defensive awareness and defensive positioning and comfortable on the dribble I think he's best in a more advance position. I think the kid has talent, I don't think he fits the timeline Arteta wants. I think it is fair to say the patience of developing young talent has come to a close with the Trossard signing. Arteta wants proven and ready players and process has already finished. It's about executing and providing depth to contend.
The best thing I took from the game is that the 2 league games are not a forgon conclusion and that we have 100% moved up a few levels
Tom we really appreciate your efforts to keep us updated and entertaining us buddy. You are a fantastic host 🙏🏽
We move forward and concentrate on PL title
Lokonga was better than Vieira and Holding but got more criticism
Thank you Tom for keeping us updated and Im very glad that Matt had a chance to show his ability.
If Trossard had played behind Nketiah instead of Vieira and Martinelli on the left, we would have blown Man City away
I don't think so.... Trossard is great. His defensive contribution as well was decent. Didn't really track back like Martinelli. I give him the benefit of doubt he's a new signing and still adjusting to Arsenal system. It's different from Brighton. I think he's more of a creative wide playmaker when he's put out wide compare to being a better finisher when he's more as a false 9 or in 2 striker system up top. I don't think he has electric pace like a Martinelli or Saka or the flair and strength to beat player 1v1 like Martinelli or Saka.
Big up Matt Turner. Deserves all the credit he can get
Out of the cup but played very well. The best we played at their ground in years. Should have won it, but not sharp enough in the final third.
Three outstanding performers tonight:
Matt Turner. What a fantastic stand-in keeper. He could rival Ramsdale if puts in a performance like this. Tommy. Too fantastic right backs, what a luxury to have. He was so strong in his tackles, sharp in passing, and read the game perfectly.
Leandro Trossard. What dribbling. Reminds me of Sanchez. Super business by Edu!
This match has shown we can definitely beat City home and away. I Hope Parteys injury isn't serious. Either way, we need a midfielder. Hopefully Edu, Garlick, and the rest can get it done!
Tommy did well but he committed too many fouls on Grealish. Grealish is great at winning fouls for free kicks or dead ball plays.
We lost but showed we are capable of matching the EPL champions. We need just a draw from 2 matches against Man City. We can't be complacent. I think we will beat them at the Emirates if we have a full squad of key players.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication Tom, appreciate it, look forward to your shows everyday
Due to the congested fixture list and a depleated midfield, I take comfort not having to play these extra games. Let City have their fixtures piled on top of each other and we can have more rest between games so we are more fresh for the top two competitions we are prioritising. The effort showed last night gives me a lot of confidence we can get a result in both league games.
Turner is and has been that good. Arsenal fans saw 3 mistakes over 2 games when he was very nervous as a new player at a huge club. He’s settled in and feels at home and feels the support of Arteta and staff so now he is himself. He hasn’t suddenly become a stellar footballer he was when they signed him or they wouldn’t have made him an Arsenal player.
Hello Tom! Yes. All you could hear were our away fans.
I think Holding was only scheduled to go the first half with instructions not to get a red but to wear Haaland like a jumper.
I said before the match, start with our 1st 11, if we'd done that I think we'd have scored goals in the first half (just look at what happened to our game after the subs yesterday), as City were not very good, nowhere near their best. We could have then gone flying out again in the 2nd half before doing all the rotation from 60 minutes.
I see the point about giving players chances, but if we want to win matches like this, we know we need to start our 1st 11 with only 1 or 2 changes max, like Turner or Trossard, that's about it really.
Lokonga loan to Monaco if we get Caicedo, either that or intense 1-1 training to get him up to speed quicker.
Thanks for the update. Sleepy time on the train
Great atmosphere last night the noise from the arsenal fans in the Etihad was amazing
Big Ups Tom
Zinchenko and Ødegaard are pivotal members of this team. When they aren’t there……you know it.
Lokonga wasn't awful as most try to suggest. He was average but what do you expect when his confidence is low and he hasn't played so much. 🤷🏾♂️
Wasn't too long ago we were saying xhaka and Nketiah were not good enough but they turned it around.
What lokonga needs is our support.
Lot of positives. Despite what you read and hear Man City are not supermen. We changed 4 of our back five against them so we have prioritized other things. No one likes losing but better that losing a league game at this stage.
Good morning Tom
Lokonga worries me. He just doesn't know where to stand when he's playing CDM. Hope we get Moises !
Arteta said Partey felt something hence his substitution. Please any updates on Partey?
Rib injury. MRI today
@@TheGoonerTalkTV OMG hope it is not a potentially game missing injury, thanks for the update
@@SmartCookie2022 you mustn’t reply or comment, must you? 😆
Morning Tom
We Lost because of 2 very good individual performances in Ake and Ortega we had the much better team performance overall
Well... I thought Man City were trying to face balls into Haaland. I think people really underestimated Holding. He did well because City put the focal point of feeding Haaland and taking advantage of Holding. 2nd half, they hold the ball better. They keep possession and kept the ball moving to find spaces and gaps on arsenal defense and that Grealish in particular kept winning fouls on Tomiyasu. Finally, after pinning Arsenal on there half. Were able to get a goal from Ake. 1st half, Arsenal did dangers in moments as well but didn't finish there chances like Trossard. Nhketiah also had a sold chance. I agree in particular Ade dominated Saka in that dual. Ortega was on point on goal on defense for City.
Partey. You sure know when he isn’t on the pitch.
Lakonga just doesn’t get enough playing time to be of the caliber we need.
Up the Arsenal Tom!!!
I cracked my ribs before. Couldn't run for 3 months with the pain. Nothing you can do. Hopefully not as bad
Morning all
I understand the "when ate they gonna play question" but maybe it's less damaging to the overall performance of the team to rotate one or two players in for every game, rather than putting out 6-8 second team players once a month who play terribly and get subbed off and/or beaten?
Holding and Lakonga are no where near it! I don't think they would even start for Southampton.
If you utilize your group better keep them engaged they will reward you this manger has been so great for us but this is becoming a trend when you don't reward your squad with games their confidence drops ,they performance drops , doesn't help when the fan base throws pelters on social media that you're garbage not the level,it takes some mental fortitude to be a professional Athlete especially at 21-24. Glad I'm not one Sambi for his mental state needs to Play,and WE as a fanbase need to be mindful and contextualize how we view players when they don't play often and come in to get games and don't perform to the first team don't kill them ask questions of the manager!!!!
Hi Tom! Great show as always 🔥
I understand motives of/conspiracies about referees, BUT why are Arsenal defenders always defending with their hands at the back...surely that reduces balance somewhat? It may also affect their reaction time ...if the keeper had made the save, there was no Arsenal player to react BUT there was a ManC player ready to tap in the rebound 🤷♂️
Agree that City are not to be feared, especially at the Emirates.
Those with the purse strings need to bite the bullet and bid £60m plus extras to take it to £70m for Caicedo. Players are not going to get any cheaper, and Peeping Todd is watching with an open chequebook to try and scupper our plans, leaving us with no effective DM for the rest of the season.
Sorry I missed the live show Tom! But great show as always. Just a question: Do you believe that Saka held back a bit last night? He wasn't bad at all but he wasn't his usual best either. Do you think he was just getting a feel of Ake to sort of gauge how he could beat him in the league game?
Players just have off nights
The Premier league and Europa league should now be our full focus. We need a CDM though. Lokonga on loan, please. The drop in class was massive and noticed even by children
No show today Tom?
In your opinion, if Holding and Vieira got more consistent game time in the starting XI, would they start to perform better? Or are they closer to Sambi - they just won't get it even with more game time?
Holding less so. Vieira needs minutes
@The Gooner Talk interesting thing.... everybody highlights Lokonga but in the 2 games, Oxford and Man city, Vieira has been for the most part anonymous and less effective. Yes he got assist in that first game but that was about it.
We have seen in previous season when Holding gets minutes and consistent game time. He's a B+ player. He does the job, sometimes offers more with some goals or clearing the ball out with headers. Yes, sometimes he does commit to some fouls or penalties but Gabriel and Saliba are also vulnerable to these. On the other hand Viera and Sambi are young guys and we don't have a metric scale or data at Arsenal that suggest they can get better with game minutes. Given that, young players do need game time.
Glad were out of the fa cup, man shitty looked very nervous and poor. Arsenal were better but if we had played a full squad we would have won that. Loved how much we were pushing. I still think vieria will be a different animal next season.
Your comments are always top notch mate😉
Delusional
I hope iam proven wrong (happy to be proven wrong) but lokonga just doesnt look right in our squad. I was actually more concerned seeing his name on the team sheet than holding. Holding has his moments and i dont think he had such a bad game. Turner and tomi were great. Trossard was a bit underwhelming, but i guess thats because we are blessed with martinellis' consistant energy
As much as I like holding, rotating him in to defend against Haaland was crazy
Holding did great. Couldn't complain at all from Holding. Did his job. I think he would have played better if he would have gotten more minutes before this game. I think he did solid.
Holding did great. He is so underrated along of Xhaka, Odegaard, and Elneny.
Not complaining about his performance he did well. Just when you face a top 3 world best striker, you don't go 4th choice centre back
#FREECAICEDO
We need urgent upgrades on Vieira and Lokonga. A right winger in the summer is a no-brainer. I don’t see why Arteta should not play Nwaneri or some other youth player instead of Vieira. Disappointing.
Lokonga just doesnt seem to have it, his positioning is not the best, he shows a lack of aggression in the tackle and doesn't want to track back. Maybe he's lacking confidence but he doesn't show the willingness to fight. Don't know how he was compared to yaya toure tbh
The Arteta-City-connection makes this games boring friendlies.
no we can't injuries will come and our thin squad will be shown up
Why didn't Zinchenko come on for Partey? Lokonga is a freaking trainwreck. He is worse than a passenger, he is dead weight.
Offer £60 Mill plus LaKonga!!!
Completely disagree with your holding opinion, think he had one job and he did it and did it well.
after getting beat 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤯
@@TheGoonerTalkTV from city fans we are glad you lot are doing well. always liked arsenal.
@@SmartCookie2022 not so smart cookie. wrong answer
After getting beaten very narrowly with key 1st 11 players missing in both halves, yeah we're pretty happy with it I'd say. Most of us didn't expect to be this close, this soon!
Hell of an improvement over the 5-0 thrashing last season for sure 🤣
@@Amberle73 no doubt, arteta has done a great job.
