This is a comment that hopped on at 8am UK time thinking I was right on time and what is this!? Have I crossed dimensions? Am I in the future? Either way, cheers Tom!
Sorry for the surprise early start, Mikel Arteta's early press conference took us by surprise!
Morning
Good morning
Good morning Gooners.
If we have half a chance to sign Rodrygo we must go all out to sign him. If we want to win against the best teams we need a special player like him in attack. Unlike G.Jesus he screams of output every time he is on the ball.
Nelson was actually very very poor…
I can't believe Tom mugged me off by starting 20 minutes earlier than usual ๐๐
Hi. Against brighton, what would be your starting 11…Can ManU stop Liverpool..?
Rodrygo to Arsenal will be ๐ฅ. COYG๐
I honestly don't think Mbappe's arrival affects Rodrygo. But he did say he prefers to play on the Left, so that could be his reason to wanna leave
Where do you think Liverpool will drop points tom?
I've noticed Zichenko is not too worried, because he knows he is injury prone and is ready to do a great Job when called upon.
Beating Sheffield Utd 6-0 is not for everyone
Rumours surrounding TGT are that if this video hits 1000 likes weโll see Tom in the away kit over the weekend ๐๐พ
Rodrygo is a brilliant player but one thing he lacks is that absolute top tier speed, which id really like to see us target in the summer. You know the kind of guy who offers something a little different from Saka who travels with the ball at pace and has a fantastic change of direction but rather a guy who scares the life out of defenders with their raw speed – like Henry, Overmars, Anelka, Walcott, Malcolm McDonald to name a few of the quickest gunners over the years.
Play Zinny in midfield and sell Partey. Canโt rely on him.
The only news is there is no news.
Up de Arsenal โค
Hey Tom, sorry mate missed the stream today. I have a question for you, idk if you will know the answer but just in case you do I will ask.
So for me when it comes to wingers, I like my wingers to be like a Jeremy Doku style player, a man that will take on his man down the line 9 times out of 10, willing to lose the ball as it's risk vs reward and if you beat your man, we then have a big advantage in behind. The way our wingers seem to play is we recycle possession or cut in 9 times out of 10 and take on their man very rarely. Martinelli and Trossard take on their man more so than Saka and Nelson but still not enough for my liking.
So my question is a 2 parter,
1. I don't really watch La Liga all that much, if you do what sort of winger is Rodrygo in relation to what I said earlier?
2. Do you think it's tactics why we don't play that risky style down the flanks to purposely play my most hated thing recycling possession so we can maintain our dominance on the ball over our opponents and if so even if we were to get a Doku type winger would we force him to play our current way or do you think we'd allow him to be that player I'm after?
great as always
The hg quota might pause the mass exodus folks pushing for Nelson and Eddie I think can move but keep Emile , buy one from the league like a Shrewsbury hall not him exactly but definitely a hg player to make up the loss of one of those boys
This might be a hot take but I'd start Rodrygo ahead of Martinelli and potentially even Saka.
Ur such a beg arteta doesnโt rate ur jokes he doesnโt care
If we sign Rodrygo, I hope he's learned how to play with Martinelli. Not the nonsense we saw with Brazil at the last WC ๐

Hey Tom, to improve speed, make sure you don't have too many start up applications. Do restart your machine. Also if you don't have a SSD Hard drive, this is recommended and 16gb ram. Community fibre now have a 3gb connection if your in London and they give you as many routers as you need. All the best and great content.
Hi Tom it's kevin, because I have to write on wife's phone, I watch live alot, but can't ask questions, I meant to ask you once drank from a cup which had a 70s style program on it, was wondering were you purchased it, thanks. For me a keep ear next year as there a player there. Sell Eddie, Nelson cedric,elneny Vieira and tierney
GIB RODRYGO
Like your Rodegaard mic
Rodrygo plays on the left, Martinelli plays on the left; someone explain for me.
I was surprised to hear you say Nelson played well. I thought he was actually pretty poor overall
Q, I think Saka needs to be reinvented. He is great technically, he's strong and is a great finisher. Saka's starting position is on the touchline and has to work soooooooo hard to get a chance at goal. Foden and Palmer live in and around the opposition box. I will like to see in some games, especially home games to lower teams or if we chasing a game, for Saka to play in the right 8, Odegard on the left 8 with Rice holding in the 6. Jesus on the right, Martinelli on the left and Haverts in the 9. This may appear to be to much on the front foot but we have a strong defence and if we play like this Tommy will be the left back to solidify the defence and both Tommy and Ben White will invert to assist Rice depending on the ball position ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ@TomCantonMedia
Q. I've spent about $1000us between tickets and accommodations to see Arsenal play MU this summer, but with the Euros taking place, how many first team players do you reckon I'll actually get to see?
Rodrygo would be a terrific signing but might he spell the end for Trossard rather than Nelson? I can't see Trossard being willing to accept Nelson amounts of minutes.
English teams need to source there own footballers, Rodrygo will never leave real Madrid, sorry, go find your own Brazilian wonder kids.
Don't think reiss was that good vs luton. Didnt beat him once.Esr was good though
