Why is your videos always too long….. U will get more views reducing your videos time thank you
Hey Charles, with all these injuries, should we consider convincing kim kallstrom to come out of retirement for cover?
Let’s get the likes atleast up to 5k per video. The videos average 25k views each time. I know you guys enjoy the content so please help the channel out by liking it so it reaches more Arsenal/ football fans. Thanks guys
I think Tuchel is a good choice for England. His League results have not been impressive over his career, but his Champions League results are very impressive. I think understanding how to be successful in a tournament like Champions League can bode well for his leadership of England in tournaments. Tuchel took PSG to their first and only Champions League Final, won the Champions League with Chelsea (beating RM and MC along the way), and were a few short minutes against RM from making the Champions League Final last season with a very weak Bayern Munich.
Also, though a foreign manager, his English is very good, he knows the Premier League and its players well, and Harry Kane was a goal scoring machine (even by his own career standards) under Tuchel.
“Teams further down the table”… people seem to underestimate Bournemouth. They are a very good side
Bournemouth is a decent side, but it’s still only 13th in the table.
Sterling-Havertz-G. Jesus
Rice-Partey-Nwaneri
Calafiori-Kiwior-Saliba-Timber/White
Raya
Trossard and Merino off the bench.
That should be enough to get the job done AND give everyone the little extra rest needed to be ready for a really important couple of weeks.
Tuchel is the perfect manager for England. He’s tactics work for tournaments, which is what England would be playing in
Starting Sterling and Jesus will be a repeat of 1st half match against Southampton.
Jonathan David yet another game winner 🇨🇦 🍁… and Isak wanting the Arsenal. We got choices options. Galore. Thanks to Arteta.. we Baaaack
Wouldn’t risk him with the Liverpool game coming up . He’s normally our best player against them
Sausages!!
Hello charles. Congrats on reaching 100k. Do you have any idea of preference on the next manager?
Great Job Charles. Jonas forced resign or he just realized women not responding?? To him any longer… yeah not sold on Tucchel.. u think Ben white will play england again ?
Hi Charles. Regarding saliba’s contract talks. Given there was no option to extend in the previous contract, presumably so saliba could review his options towards the end of his contract. What do you think arsenal can offer to get him to renew? They can’t offer the same guarantee of trophies or presumably wages that somewhere like Real Madrid can
Not saying he won’t renew, I hope he does of course. But what do you think it would take to keep him at arsenal?
In my humble opinion. I think we over hype the quality of the players Jonas had to work with. Especially when you compare them to teams like Chelsea. Some are big in name but not anywhere close in terms of the pitch. Wubben Moy is huge drop off from Rafaelle for example but is spoken off like she is one of the best in the world. Mead is no longer the player she was. I have no clue if that is due to the injury.
I just wish we had got in Walsh to raise the level of quality in our midfield. Little doesn't have the legs and technical quality to compensate. Or maybe a Naomi Girma to improve the defense.
Feel for Jonas because he has had to deal with a lot ever since he first came in and just lost the title on the final day. He desired a technical but fast-paced, in your face kind of game. Like what we saw when we demolished Lyon. The issue has been that we are lacking in that department. The few technical players have all suffered major injuries in his tenure. Pelova, Wienroither, Walti, Miedema, Williamson.
I just hope the next person is allowed time to not only upgrade the quality but also do whatever is necessary to shift the mindset of the players. A lot of them are way too comfortable. Need players with warrior personalities and a new head coach to match.
English man sterling was a waste. You have to be told the truth you can't sit behind the mic and just drop nonsense or slip any kind of beans.
No no no to Stirling I think he does not play our game but a good player
I love that these are everyday, for some reason i care about all of this
No, no, no Sterling was NOT "perfectly fine" (6:10). He kept fallling over, making silly crosses, missing players with his passes, taking too many touches, running into blind alleys, etc It was just a mess & Arteta surely had seen enoogh which was why he made the changes & straight after, Martinelli scores with just one touch; one touch(!) I honestly don't see Sterling getting better. Like they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks!
As for Gabriel Jesus, I think he's a lost cause. He needs a club change & Arsenal are actively workign to flog him off. You cannot simply afford to keep a player on $280k weekly who does NOT start. Even Brazil don't call him anymore.
