mans got the freshest trim in analytics 😎😎
Trossard should be there, viera is. Just bad, 20 good. Minutes not enough
Or Arsenal could've not bought Vieira or Havertz and played Smith Rowe. A two-month long injury absence doesn't mean the end of a career.
So Thomas Partey doesn't start in this team?
Great video as always Dave. It is time for Vieira and Smith-Rowe to shine. No way Havertz is even close what them two can bring to the team.
Why Fabio viera should start ahead of Havertz. Because he came on and had an ok game as a sub 🤷♂️
Great video
Why aren't you on crouchys podcast anymore bruv
I think as an alternative, playing ESR in left wing instead of martinelli would be a better match for havertz to play off each other.
he doesnt want to sell him there might just be "silly money" from sudai
One good match and we clamouring for Vieria to start. Vieria has been largely rubbish, and weak
Why humble with midfield as if there is no option,Play Rice,Odegard, party . Arteta should stop making things hard for the team
Arteta should play ESR in central midfield alongside Partey & Odegaard.
If we play Zinchenko then it's either Rice plays the left 8 or we bench Partey. I wouldn't encourage leaving Partey on the bench though. He's possibly the best at what he does.
Harvetz can be CF he can run space the only strong point he has.
The same fabio viera no one would be rooting for him to start just a week ago is now on everyone lips. Humans!!!
Lol I bet you did a vid saying “what Arteta sees that you don’t with Havertz” now look smh.
I came up with a solution in my head. Esr should come on and ball for 65 minutes then kai finish. Odegaard play 65 minutes and rest for fabio that's how to fix a match and keep it running non stop.
kiwior isn't the problem, he was probably the most consistent defender in the Fulham game
Partey should be the CB to allow White overlapping and assisting Saka. In the Fullham game, white had overlapped once and it was great
The screen with your face is bigger than the one with the main actual part of the content. Isn't that odd? Your face doesn't have to appear in this, but if you want to show your face that much, make it as small as possible like in 5:22
it was one good cameo
Havertz is the arsenal problem now
After one positive half suddenly Viera becomes superstar. Defense and Viera in the same sentece? Come on
Think you can forward this on to Arteta??
No, Arsenal need to keep things as they are, definitely need to keep Havertz starting and Partey out of position at RB. They have been horrendous, we all love to see it, don't change things.
put zinchenko with havertz then we see the result..it will be different
Kai must work for his place ,,,and not enjoy it for nothing,,,,,coming as a substitute will help him lessen the burden and pressure.
Havertz should be coming in 2nd half when we are already leading. He can come in to help us slow game and delay time.
Bro woke up and decided to speak nothing but facts. Start Viera asap, the kid is special.
No….. Trossard or Smith Rowe in for Havertz NOT Vieira
hope havertz gets a little knock on his foot so arteta will have to start with vieira or get back to our classic 4-2-3-1
I still don't believe viera is ready to start matches. I mean c'mon cause he performed well as a sub yo all are raving like he's good or up to standard. Now if he starts and doesn't perform you peeps will rip into him
Anyone who doesn’t understand why Arteta keeps playing Havertz and actually went out to buy him is wasting time trying to lecture us.
Can we respect Arteta please! He turned Odegaard into something nobody expected, next was Xhaka, White, Martinelli, Saka, Zinchenko… and we led the season for about 95% of the league last season without a deep quality in the squad.
So we must evolve! Last season guys were on Arteta saying he plays too many games with the same players ! Blaaah blaaah.
Now he has completely gone out and bought the quality that he has always said is lacking therefore limiting him to playing leas variations.
That’s gone! We no have new players and have been blown away by how we have been different! We have solid monsters in physicality now, Havertz Partey Saliba White Rice, all nearly 2mtrs tall and powerful athletes!
Timber who everyone thought is a RB/CB played at LB and shined! We play three defenders now with Partey who played RB at Atlético now doing it for us but in a different way!
We have the Rice Partey dual play, and Havertz/Odegaard relationship in the no8/10 situations.
At times Havertz is no9 holding up play or pivoting for others to play around him!
Let’s respect Arteta. He’s proven many people so wrong it’s embarrassing to see them trying to still undermine him.
Let’s do videos to show WHY he’s doing what he’s doing rather!💯
Vieira has the capability to be our Bruno Fernandes. Intelligent player with a great technique. Maybe he is a bit low on confidence because someone like Havertz keeps getting a nod over him. I loved how Fabio came in and turned the game on the head 👌🙌
Couldn't have said it better, well done, great analysis 👌🏽
Vierias brilliant performances in the Europe Leauge??? When? I watched all the matches with him playing and I can rememeber 1 half decent performance and that was about it..
Arsenal supporters after Fabio has 20 good minutes of play:
I wonder if we had Timber if Arteta would experiment with Zin at LCM?
Anyone should start ahead of havertz….anyone 🙏🙏🙏
Bro when everybody was complainin bout Havertz you just found the answer to it 👍 Fabio viera is a beast in the making he should get more time
Same reasons Mount will kill it at United 😂. Vieira had great cameo but still nearly caused goal by getting knocked over like a skittle. Keep him impact for now. Start Partey Rice Odegaard for United.
Vieira hasn't won a dual at Arsenal yet. You definitely didn't watch us last season. Vieira was hiding when given minutes. Still hopeful for him but he still will get totally bullied if he doesn’t have space
Come on winning a pen and a decent pass in a 3 minute period and you are talking him up like he wasn't dreadful last season. FICKLE.
~~~~~~~Ramsdale~~~~~~~
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
Odegaard Partey Rice
Saka Nketiah Martinelli
Keep it up bro. Great analyses.
Arsenal wants goal scoring ESR Havertz is no where close to Kevin De Bruyne
Fabio had 14 assists and 6 goals at FC Porto and now is warming up a bench at Arsenal? The most skillful and with the most imagination in that squad. Fans are saying he doesn’t have the physique to play defense for Arsenal. The guy is an offensive player not a number 6.
