Bielsa 👏
Unai tried this with arsenal.. I guess he didn’t have the right personnel
sounds like David Luiz to me
Some feedback. These videos are much slower than other TIFO videos. Those vids have more information in 20 seconds than it takes in 5 minutes of these ones. You got us hooked on super compressed info dumps, now you make long-drawn-out videos with a host that talks really slow in a tired, unengaging voice. IMHO.
More videos bro about Tavares n lukanga big up gd job
Gabriel Holding Mari Saliba White the ultimate defence of football
2 weeks back: closer to reach an agreement.
Now: closer to reach an agreement.
Oo
I mean the saliba point could have been looked into. Surely it would add to dd to "why Arsenal want Ben White"
catch alex on cbeebies weekdays 3pm
the best info on football is from tifo francise
Tavares and now ben white guess arteta wants to play attacking football
Ok i get it now the question is arteta a tactical genius like quardiola and bielsa can thapa pulis really pull it of😆
Alex is the most calm man alive
LOVE the synth intro music 🖤🖤🖤
Because they cant get anyone else!
Isn’t what he can do for Arsenal is just what David Luis did??
Before saliba went on loan arsenal have 4 cb's that are solid now we have a 5th for £50 million you could actually get a really good player ffs. The french league in fact are Bankrupt go get 3 ballers. Some of Edu and Arteta transfers need to get sacked We should of gone for IRONICALLY COMICAL ARSENAL Bissouma who we need more then ben white ffs
Because he was called up for England
Combine this with the Sambi signing and interest in Locatelli and it's pretty obvious what Arsenal want to focus on next year: progressing the ball up the pitch into attacking areas much more quickly.
that walter zenga t shirt though….straight fire….
50M$ for him, is it worth?
Love the Walter Zenga shirt.
Excellent breakdown
u look like stuart dallas
so good all the big boys wanted him DUH
what is immediately does is lose the ball and lose a goal on the counter attack – oh dear he is screwed with us we dont pass forward only sideways and back
If Bielsa wanted him then you need to get him on your team. No questions asked.
Just here to hear the Tifo IRL intro music 🤪🤪
Hahaha
It’s all great in theory, and he’s not a bad centre half, but if he’s getting bullied by Ivan Toney, he’s going to get targeted a lot. Daley Blind learned to pocket target men and be a functional centre back despite lacking height or speed, White needs similar but I get the impression Arsenal isn’t the place to learn it.
Might be the right player for a back 3, or partnering a more physical ball winner, but doesn’t add anything to Arsenal that they don’t already have.
Also I reaaaaally don’t understand why Arsenal would buy Tavares when they have Tierney, White when they have Saliba, Ramsdale when they have Leno, Odegaard when they have Smith-Rowe. It seems like all their purchases are lateral, not buying improvements but players who are either the same or worse than players who could/should be starters instead of fixing actual gaps in their team. It’s like they’re doing the opposite of moneyball.
Watching this after watching ben white against brentford
It was a disaster
tifo irl is tifo " in real life', right? cause tifo football uses animation for tactical display
coz arteta doesn't want w saliba….
In hindsight, this was an absolutely fantastic transfer for Arsenal
