The REAL REASON Arsenal Signed Calafiori.

When Arsenal signed Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna in the summer I thought it was a very smart deal that fit the transfer profile set by Mikel Arteta & Edu whilst also improving the squad. In reality, Calafiori to Arsenal could be one of the best deals made in the Premier League… In this video, Statman Dave explains why Calafiori will be a gamechanger for Arsenal this season in their bid to beat Pep Guardiola’s Man City to the Premier League title.

Can’t wait for Calafiori to take over the Premier League.

[afc]

Arsenal are building the perfect squad.

[AELK]

Ricky Calamari is going to taste so good

[shadyguindi]

I love you man but his name is CaLAAAAfiori

[farahomar]

I think calafiori will play LB will replace zinchenko I think Gabriel will stay and timer califiori will rotate and Gabriel and maybe Saliba on cup games to rest them

[adrianjacobs]

After watching him the other day I said that once he gets into the starting lineup he will stay in the team.

[AdetayoDamilare]

Sweet Analytics mate. I cannot wait for Calafiori to start showing premier league teams what he is capable of.
And that back 4 of White, Saliba, Calafiori & Timber will be crazier than what we currently use 🤩

[Proteusone]

StatMan Dave, You are simply AWESOME!

[ianbaldwin]

Arsenal will defend there way to the title

[littlewing]

7:43 dave the fullback is exposed when tucking in midfield and if the centre back steps in the same area. and that is the flaw of that tactic. that's why some italian clubs play with 5 defeners on rest defence

[benforsey]

My guess is long term Arteta wants Calafiori at centre back and Timber at left back. Then when we’re in possession, Timber makes a back three with White and Saliba and Calafiori steps into midfield. Although I still think Gabriel is first choice for this season at least.

[AlmostFamous]

fk yea next evolution in inverted tactics is an inverted center back

[vague]

As well as tactical innovation, we need squad rotation. Cala taking minutes off Gabriel - shaking up the combinations at centre back. This is necessary but may result in a fall off from our current defensive stability.

Dave is the only United fan I genuinely like, but man those pronunciations, CalAfiori and MErIno

[usmanrulezzz]

Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber...that would be my starting back four. Ben, Kiwior and Zinchenko as covers. Love Tomi but he needs to go...too injury prone and I think Kiwior has the potential to be as good if not better as Tomi.

[ashfaqtahmeed]

He is gonna slot in more like a lcb from lb

[reeseprince]

3 at the back with havertz and gyokeres upfront

[sambrownlight]

Got the merino cut from the intro not calla

[GbSky]

Where is Gabriel magalleze in all ur analysis cuz obviously he can't be on d bench

[honestarsenalfan]

Gabriel as a lockdown LB would be incredible! he defends both the channels and wing really well
