Bringing back 30yd screamers might be the best thing Arteta has ever done

[jensartz]

A name that’s missing in this analysis is Timber. He offers some unique skills of his own to the team, especially in the build-up.

[Zaccybacon]

Anyone noticed how preseason has focused a lot of the left hand side, with Rice collecting wide running in and combining with the wide player to attack the half space, including cut backs, crosses and shots; to me it seems like it’s all preparation for Merino to adapt quickly

[simon]

Bro we finally need a video about Vincent Kompany and his new Bayern Munich. The games against Tottenham were really promising. I expect much of them this season

[radip]

Think you missed mentioning the absolute number of air balls thrown at Saka expected to score a header against Lyon. Capitalizing on the player's physicality beyond corners.

[Kobble]

Brilliant analysis from you. Always exciting to see how Arteta adjusts his tactics

[billyferaldy]

Great analysis. I think the biggest strength for us this season will be the hunger to finally beat Man City after losing out in back to back seasons

[TheExtevan]

Arteta's new tactic is a result of the games we played against Porto and, to a lesser degree, bayern munich. Porto really exposed us last season with the way they crowded the midfield and dared our defenders to control the game.

[Kitofthearts]

So evolved are the tactics from last season, that it might be influencing the reduced recruitment this summer?
Arteta & the squad have a strong grasp of each strengths, so new roles based upon the previous tactics learnt, provide experience & trust for some really exciting innovations this season!
Fantastic analysis & hopefully the squad & we can enjoy witnessing free-flowing & creative total football.
I would love to learn about Cesc Fabregas tactics & philosophy for Como FC, to understand how he is developing his tactical strategy, in a separate video!

[noobmixups]

So Basically we returned to the 2022 build up and make odegaard to be more frequently drop deeper or roaming the flank more than usual, interesting.

[dingdongcat]

Now the merino transfer makes sense in terms of heading in those crosses, and also helping left footed cutbacks. And freeing up Rice to sit in that spot outside the box to unleash his long shooting ability

[adamruffo]

Good breakdown. I'll definitely be looking out for shots outside the box. And yes I think with whatever business we have left to do in the transfer market will bring us the league this year.

[Greene]

They (Arsenal) are moving the ball at a good tempo too

[fabianstohr]

Brighton Hurzeler Analysis would be nice!!

[DLearningOne]

Insightful analysis of Arteta’s evolving tactical approach at Arsenal. The emphasis on fluid midfield rotations and Declan Rice’s advanced role is particularly intriguing. Arteta’s strategy of exploiting the half-spaces and using deep runs could indeed unlock new dimensions in Arsenal’s attack this season. It’s clear that Arsenal is gearing up to challenge Man City with a more dynamic and unpredictable playstyle. Coaches looking to refine their offensive strategies can learn a lot from this breakdown.

[Culer]

Flick's Barça please 🙏 Want to see how you see the youngsters under Flick

[mr.spinzy]

Could you do a quick video over all the big 6 teams maybe also the Laliga teams where you explain how they’ve been playing in the pre season. Each team could have maybe 3minutes of you explaining how they play, i think it would be a great video idea :)

[ojjoooooo]

Partey gonna be the most important player for Arsenal this season.

[GuyJames]

Arsenal have some of the best finishers from just outside the box - Trossard particularly but Ødegaard, Saka, Zinchenko and even Rice can all do it pretty well

[therapistradio]

It's a lot of underlapping runs and squeezing the ball through the middle more times than overlapping and wide play this season, that way they become less predictable. Good coaches evolves, Arteta is good.
