Thank you Tom and Ben! Tielemans will become Arteta's new teachers pet, mark my words! Think he's got everything for Mikel to shape his midfield the way he sees it..
This is the first time I've come across your channel and I thoroughly enjoyed this mate.
I personally enjoy breaking down the tactical aspect of Arsenal's game but hardly find channels that cover it… Until now!
I am absolutely impressed by how good you are at it and really appreciate the stats & technical breakdowns mentioned here. You've earned a new sub for life☺ #COYG🔴⚪
Arsenal not interested for Bissouma?
Xhaka offensive stats has to be put in context, as he is unlikely to be targeted in the midfield compared to Partey or Odegaard. Partey is always marked because he is our main ball carrier. Looking at the stats, my confident in Tielemans is growing, his duels won and pressures starts are impressive and if you take into account his Premier League experience , goals, assist and big chances created and given that he is affordable and willing to come to Arsenal, then he is the best option for Arsenal.
Youri won’t go to Arsenal
No UCL
Zinchenko as a potential starter in midfield and cover for LB is just a no brainer. Even with the signing Cucurella, I can’t see man city letting him go tho…
Very good overview. Looks to be a good perspective signing. I do think Xhaka’s progressive stats are being taken out of context tho. Players like Partey, Ødegaard, and Saka are ALWAYS marked. Xhaka is rarely man marked, which gives him more opportunity to progress the play. I’m not trying to hate on Granit, but context is always necessary when looking at raw stats. Players can easily appear better or worse at certain aspects of the game when context is removed from stats.
Tielmans is not gonna make us better in any way… slow, looks unfit and dosent track back …
Tom wat do thik of toliso of bayn I heard is free
Youri plus another paerty cover we will. Be good to go in the mid
We should sign this Xhaka guy! Seems like a great talent based on his progressive play
Tbf Ben was talking about Tielemans in January when nobody else was
Great vid. I think he’ll be very smart signing for us that would add quality in the midfield and final 3rd which is what we miss. Up until this season one of the best midfielders in the league for me and this season he did have a drop off but Leicester form and the fact that he’s had to move deeper due to Ndidis injuries all season has to be considered before judging.
Good takes…also Serge.
Why am I not surprised that Xhaka is better than all these guys
Underrated
We should be signing Fabian Ruiz, looks an absolute baller and could easily do both the 6 and 8 roles
Enjoyed the video as always but I was hoping more for an analysis of what tielemans is like as a player and his strengths and weaknesses from the expert insight as a Leicester fan but it was all just transfer information which has been very well documented already. Little disappointed on that but quality video otherwise
The only way xhaka is getting replaced in midfield is if h decides to leave Arsenal
Great show Tom watched on catch up 4 hours later 👏👏👏🇦🇺
Funny thing is, Tielemans has played majority of this season without Ndidi which forced him to play more defensively than he did the years prior. Great context to these numbers, it’s his worst attacking stats in a while
Champions league, champions league, there will be another spot opening up from next year, I think most journalists and YouTubers havent realised yet
Seems Tielemens has the worst stats of these 4
What's your view on the upcoming Lithunian talent Terima Kabhosda?
ben jacobs was great on his segment of the video, really like his concise breakdown of his attributes and the transfer portion aspects
From the tactical breakdown, Tielmans looks the worst in the group! We should be careful what we wish for!
People say all sorts about Tielamans but 10 goal contribution? & 3 yellow cards 0 reds! Xhaka 3 goal contribution? & 10 yellows and 1 red, his discipline is awful 5 reds – 60+ yellows smh 😖 I'd bet money if xhaka didn't play all season we'd get champions league.
I think we should go for that xhaka character. His stats put the others to shame😂😂😂
Wow. How’d I miss this show? Well I’m here now.
⭐️ Xhaka ⭐️
Tielemans and Bissouma. And Zinchenko. Zinchenko for midfield and left back….. too versatile not to get.
Thanks Tom! Take it easy greasy!!!
Xhaka stats are Insane. Always saw him as the player most fans were biased against but damn, he's very good.
I don't like him
You had me until ‘Lakonga’ comment. Yes, he started out looking surprisingly impressive. But he soon began looking unsure and indecisive. And that resulted in many unforced errors.
I still think he’s got great upside. I do envision him as a long term player for us, but he needs to be brought along slowly and strategically. He’s not someone you play in key matches at this stage.
