Sorry that I can start the mail with a copout, but I have been extremely ill for the past four days, so I have to apologize for placing the Patreon Livestream without the YouTube link yesterday, and I have to apologize if this specific article is unable to show the foggy A-standards. I do this all weekend of around 300 calories … but the needs must. No … I’m not a hero. We are all heroes.
Arsenal left the first resort with Man City with a more than deserved point. Thanks to a lob of 93rd minutes from Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian, freely written by the Heathens, gathered a Tom Brady -Gub -Gubried Mary of Diep, checked the ball and then pushed it over Donnarumma that was caught in no one’s country … The ball bounced once and then in the goal … A stunning way to have people prove, misleading his possibilities.
The whole game felt a bit strange … And people were definitely waiting with wild opinions on the design after the game. Some of those opinions came to me in the 93rd minute. People want to rush to ‘We are not good enough’ stories after just 5 games and I find it all a bit difficult to tolerate. It is as if we are so over bridesmaids that even being second in this phase of the season is a reason to blow up things and start again.
Much of the criticism has again landed in a very honest place … Mikel Arteta seems to be committed to the team that he remembers, not the team that actually is. Pep Guardiola knows what he has now is not at the level it once was. He complained about the maturity for the game, while he also literally said: “I know what a machine looks like,” say that he doesn’t have that now.
Pep Guardiola has set up with 5 at the back, with 4 midfielders for them. Peak-Stike would be ashamed of the meekness. City has spent £ 500 million since January, they have one of the largest wage accounts on the planet, and their hero striker earns 1 million euros a week … and they did us dirt with a deep block.
Arteta, after having spent £ 300 million this summer on mainly attacking players, or players designed to improve the attacking output, he rolled out a midfield of Merino, Zubi and Rice from … and an attack by Gyokees, Trossard and Madueke. I am sorry, but as a big fan of Arteta it is a bit sick to see a forward line that is good, fed by Merino. Against city.
But if you wanted to be honest, it is quite clear that he wanted to sort out the first half and then wanted to deliver his large weapons in the second half and put them down.
Well, everyone has a plan until they are driven through the middle by a rising Haaland -Run that remains undisputed.
Pop. Plan over. All the good work and the dominance that was put into the danger zone because our plan was disturbed by an individual moment of greatness by the best striker in the world (sorry, Alex, it is Haaland).
You can probably also hear Arteta pointing to the above line, trying to explain that exactly why you are not going against a city side with two of the fastest transition players in the competition now (Doku and Haaland). The assumption that City will be nonsense this season due to two poor results can be a bit imaginative.
We have nevertheless made changes. Madueke pulled away for Saka. Merino was replaced by Eze. Martinelli for wood. Nwaneri on for Trossard. We improved, the ball moved faster and we started to get pops. The whole thing felt meaningless because we did not create monster opportunities, but the point for most of us is that we could have done this from the start. Haaland scored with a Stodgy from 11, maybe he would not do that with a more attacking team that caused problems?
Needless to say that we have the equalizer. A point of Man City in the Emirates will not be the reason that we will lose the Premier League this season. That will be seen as a good point and we have the chance to get 3 of them in place.
10 points of 5 games are not great, but it is certainly not a crime. We played Stad, Liverpool and United. The company company always stops us early in the season and we have to go again in St. James Park this weekend. But we are in the mixer, Liverpool is about to play a number of real hard games, and at one point things may not be that good for them.
What concerns Arteta? He must trust his attacking players. What was the use of Ethan anointing if the backup to Odegaard if he doesn’t play him there for the second season? What was the sense of shooting £ 68 million for Eze, who always plays centrally, if he is not an option and is bumped for Merino? Liverpool was there to be rattled and we chose not … City was there to bother, and Arteta chose not to do that. The result? A loss and a draw. There is a just feeling that Arsenal will not warn their way to a Premier League title and I am not sure if Arteta agrees.
Regarding some other versions? Martinelli. You cannot deny the joy you have now if you have written it off and you were wrong. It is the best kind of tasty modest cake. He takes his chances, not sulking and tries to prove that he is the player Jurgen Klopp, one of the most exciting players he had seen at the age of 18. That finish was downright world class. Really special. Does he have to insist on a start? He should. He drops G&S. The most important currencies.
That brings me to Madueke. The English winger received the Ol ‘Double and Treble Up treatment from Man City, which must be a big compliment for him. Again, he looked very exciting. The crowd is behind him, he takes you off your chair, he is a one -man driver of the ball … but not G& with regard to his name in 6 performances. I’m sorry, but I don’t give a shit about Xthreat, or one of those other songs that we use to convince ourselves of players. I want to see numbers in the columns that count. Exciting talent, but must get better.
Can we have a chat about Gyokees without everyone screaming? That implementation must be contexualized against playing a very well organized deep block that was displayed by Rodri. But … it was completely expected. No photos. No opportunities created. Most of his touches were terrible. Players don’t look at him for link-up because he can’t do it. There was never a more Kai Havertz game. I know they are early days, but what we have is very much on my worst fears when he became a member. A player who looked like a SAP -IVAN Drago in Portugal, but now he is here, in the Big Boys League, he is not so strong, not so fast, and his limitations are worsened in a club that usually plays against real deep blocks.
William Saliba had a really good game apart from a decisive moment … He was the last defender when Reinjders and Haaland broke. He had a decision: go to Haaland and stitch it off, at the expense of Reinjder who had a shot … or late Haaland Briesje undisputed. He made the wrong decision and we have to call him there, because that is the kind of decision that Virgil does not make premier League-winning seasons.
But to keep it positive. Pep Guardiola came to Arsenal with limited injuries and dropped a deep block. Arsenal Klauwde late in the game with a little Bang Bang -specialty of Martinelli, provided by Eze, who dropped a £ 68 million pass for the ages. We were usually comfortable all game. City will fight for the title this season, just like Will Arsenal, and Liverpool too. These games do not decide seasons that do away at Villa, Newcastle and Fulham. Much more season to go, tell the crybabies that give up the competition where she melts, let’s go to Port Vale this Wednesday and give them a wallopping.
Ok, see you in the comments. X
