Bro is tryna jinx them again ...
he just made this video to jinx our team😢
Exactly 😂
Please work. PLEASE. (as in, the jinx needs to work)
YES PLEASE
@@sichuancowboy for real... 4 peat we will be there
When Arsenal was top of the League last year and then we lost it to Man City, I felt like we were too young and weren't ready when the chips are down. Now, this team is more mature and we are back!
Brother . This Was like 6 months ago. Mature 😂
@@DiegoMartinez-gn1ml1 year ago? idiot
We've still to overcome that pressure of expectations though. Last year fans and players alike could brush it off, but that no longer applies this year to the same extent. The pressure is even higher even if the gab isn't as big, as in that it isn't really a gap at all if i'm honest.
Arsenal is still not ready
I say that every year tbh , for me is that it will eventually happen
Whats happening at Arsenal right now is what Arteta said he wants to build in his 1st interview as Arsenal head coach, in 2019. Its not about giving manager time, its about giving the RIGHT manager time.
Your contents...one of the most matured on this platform. What a guy. Will have my son sub on this Chanel. He'll learn a lot from your contents
damn!!! I think I get you chief, First time, and 40 Sec in and I'm subscribing.
arsenal is such a great squad, love watching them
also love your humbleness, have an empty shelf right there but won't use them for your ballon dors just for us, thanks man🙏
They would all break the shelf bro. Solid gold. But you didn’t hear this from me.
All in all I think the most impressive part of our team is our defensive trio Rice - Gabriel - Saliba. Those 3 are behemoths.
A very good spine add goals and your fire. They should sign guirassy . Complete team
And its not just that. Rice being able to win tackles and consistently play attack pieces from it is huge. Arteta is a mastermind.
for me the most impressive thing about arsenal is how they manneged to get 3 gabriels
@@Bananakw being an arsenal fan and my name being gabriela, it's like i'v been having a prolonged wet-dream lmao
Im glad you mentioned how good Porto was, a lot of fans are downplaying just how good they were saying things like "just scraped past" trying to downplay just how hard scraping past Porto in the UCL is
I'm a united fan, but also a Havertz defender, I'm happy my guy has turned it around, you can also see how much it means to him
He's a mediocre player riding on the coat-tails of an inform team.
@@josevanreyesyou're a knob😂😂 can't even bring yourself to give arsenal credit by calling them good, have to call them "in form"
@@josevanreyesHe is deciding matches for us. He is scoring goals, but also winning duals and winning balls back. He is a great player. Everybody can have an opinion, but it doesnt have any weight if you dont actually watch him
@@josevanreyesnkt ! As if he hasn't contributed , he has literally won them more than two games
@@josevanreyesyou don’t know ball
1:08 I was instantly teleported to FIFA 08 when I saw that classic beauty of a kit.
Hope you're good, Tinashe!
Jorginho playing the 6 so well he liberates Rice to go forward, while also threading the needle like a number 10. Gabriel and Saliba playing lights out defense, Ben White crosses that feel like they have a 50/50 chance of scoring. Other than that think you covered it!
that's why I commend porto formation that swarming our wing so saka and ben white can't cross
Was convinced they’d lose that penalty shootout. Fair play to them maybe their mentality’s changed since last year.
The fact that u are only now realising this says a lot.
@@arsenal4life26 yeah cause your username makes you objective
@@Dylan-fs5kn Don't need to be onjective. I just know you are clueless about Arsenal. And it shows in that response. Carry on now.
@@arsenal4life26we get you’re excited but what’s your point?
@arsenal4life26 cmon bro. At least he isn't hating like the rest of the other big 6 fans.
Even if we don't win the league this year. I love where we are heading. The fact we have this young core tied up, it's not a matter of if we're going to achieve something special. It's a matter of when.
To think people said last season was a fluke and they'll go back to old Arsenal..
As a Man UTD fan i just hope one day too Football Iconic will be posting... "We need to Talk about Man UTD"...
After going on a 10 game winning Streak sitting Top of the Table, Arsenal has given me hope things can really change.
We need to see the arsenal Man U rivalry again
I was skeptical of Havertz as well but he's proved his immense work ethic and composure in big game moments. He's scored quite a few important last-minute goals for us. You can just tell how calm he is on the pitch even in intense moments. Let's hope he keeps it up, but he's flying at the minute.
havertz have gone from poor to acceptable to even have a few fairly good games. and the contrast is hyped
Arsenal are playing great, and Honestly if they don’t win the PL this season, with Klopp leaving Liverpool i do think that Arsenal will win it next season.
Klopp is leaving because he's scared
Thanks dude that's what I think this team will lift that trophy one day I just when also good luck in the Europa league guys you have a better chance at winning that than we do the CL
Klopp leaving Liverpool is just what Pool needed to win the league
sweet goodbyes
and no, remember last year?lol
He got that Del Bosque drip
Kiwíor is also giving Benjamin White a license to show his stuff inverting on the right side, which resurrects the "he can play CDM" / "LOL no, look at his Brighton stats" debate that was raging when he was purchased. White is such a slept-on player! Southgate may never pick him for the Three Lions again after leaving the team during the World Cup, and that's his loss.
It’s okay, southgate most likely won’t be there after the euros this year, so Benny will be back in the national team in no time
Love your videos. Really enjoyable and informative. Love your easy, relaxed style.
Mate love your videos. Just to add Ben White to this list. Man’s positioning and transition is insane. He’s playing right back like a quarter back to be fair and a lot of his movement positioning and forward balls go unnoticed but Ben has had probably the most consistent season I’ve seen and really happy to see we’ve extended his contract.
Thanks for your videos. Great content 🫡
This kinda video is long overdue and am I glad to see you make it. I've been telling my friends, watch out for Arsenal. They're just going about their business and picking up points, a real sign of champions and they seem much more solid compared to last season. And with all that said, they have the best goal difference in the league playing the majority of their games without an out and out striker or No.9
Finally an Arsenal video, thanks Tinashe 😊
Could you do a video about Pepe
Really awesome video! I love your content. What an absolute thunderous final 10 games we're heading for! Ideally, I'd like to see the season decided on the final day... still contested by all 3 teams. Liverpool winning a quadruple would be an amazing story! But Arsenal taking would also be pretty dope! As a Chelsea fan, it makes me happy to see Havertz enjoying his football. The kid is really talented.
Ultimately, it's a pleasure to watch a team dominate game after game, especially via the scoreline. Other teams should take notes.
I love all your videos but as soon as I Arsenal are in the title - life goes on pause. I don't know if they'll have enough to win it all but they sure are exciting to watch and the feeling around the club hasn't been this good in ages. You're doing great things here... keep 'em coming.
Its called a system. Arsenal wont be stopped this year. Arteta has built a near rock solid defense and a deadly attack. On top of that, last season as good as they were it was a learning stage. Its clear to see.This season,Arteta has taken them a step further at least.On top of that last season they were losing players at this stage of the season. This year players are coming back from injuries. Theres no coincidence that Pep Guardiola talks about Arsenal in alot of press conferences. Thats because he's worried. Kudos to Mikel Arteta. He deserves it
Love your videos bro! You really give me better insight into football! I hope you're doing well health-wise. Otherwise, thank you for all your apt explanations!!
This is exactly what we needed 🙏🏿🤲🏿
I love your videos, can you do one on the rise of Stuttgart and Bologna
I was actually waiting for this video
Nice vid.
Truth is Rice is the best purchase Arsenal has made since we bought a certain blonde "prince" from Inter in '95.
He's not the best ever purchase- that would be The King, TH14 but he's definitely the 2nd or 3rd best purchase this club has made in the last 30 years.
Let's be real here, as sweet as Ode's left foot and as electric a baller Saka is, without the hammer in a velvet glove in our midfield, we would be at pieces in nearly all these close games we've had AND won.
Saliba staying healthy in the stretch (unlike last year) and a more composed Gabriel beside him makes Rice even better than he already was at West Ham- and that's exactly what we have been benefitting from this season. Rice makes EVERYBODY better because he's the main release valve for pressure. He can soak up nearly any midfield press, he can win aieral duels, he can tackle in the clutch, he can score from range and most importantly he can pick a pass and advance out of the 8 into the 6 on the fly. He's the very rare, complete baller at 25yrs of age!!!
Imho, Trossard is the extra bow on top of the absolute prize that we have in Rice. Oh, and Kiwior has been nothing short of magnificent since his introduction. Outside of Raya yesterday, he was our man of the match for his pocketing of Evanilson and Galeno as they switched out down his flank. He had some sublime defensive stops at critical moments that NO ONE would have expected of such a young and inexperienced fullback.
These 3 players are the BIG BIG difference makers this year. Raya's distribution of the ball as we build up play is a massive improvement over Ramsdale and his handling of corners is also superior to Ramsdale but this was somewhat expected as he was suppose to be an improvement on what we had in goal. Rice... has been beyond the wildest expectations and considering he is delivering all this under the pressure of the highest price the club has ever paid for a player is even more impressive.
Tbvh, if we get Timber healthy and in the line up for the final 2 months of the season and everyone else is healthy, I see us lifting the trophy come May.
👑💯
Even if it's an ugly win against porto, it just proved to us that their mentality has been stepped up from last season.
After last season, I'm still curious to see how they'll handle any major injury in the latter stages of the season. But if not, they might win in and officially put AFTV out of business.
I think that will help aftv if anything
AFTV want that to happen, chuck Lee Gunner meltdown and Troopz angry rant into the title and their revenue just quadrupled
Squad depth is much better than last year, we’ve been playing without a lot of our best players most of the season already
I hope this title race goes down to the final day with all three teams but the arsenal vs city match is key because whoever wins can basically get an advantage over the other two.
How am I finding your channel just now. Great work on the video.
you're jinxing us bro 😭
Love your analysis and flow, better than many "professionals"
I remember when some fans were calling for Arteta's head
The guy turned it around and we were wrong... And I'm happy that we were wrong 😌😊
Compared to last season, we have more depth, more height, and more tactical flexability. This doesn't guarentee us any trophy, we are surely getting closer. On top of that, this project isn't finished yet. Our young player will develop and get better, and we will be looking to strenghten every summer. We are indeed, scary.
After selling Ramsdale, Zinchenko, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Tierney & Lokonga this summer, Araenal will have upwards of 300M to spend on Osimhen/Mbappe & and QUALITY midfielder like Frenkie De Jong or Tchoumeni.
Esr and nketiah- both may get 35 million as theyre academy players and english.
Kt and lokonga- 20 million each.
Zinchenko-30 million.
Ramsdale- 35 million.
Total 175 million. The owners may invest some money and a lot will be made by prize money.
But the thing is, the wage bill can get out of hand.
@@qwert28077
By your numbers, that's 180M (not 175), and you forgot 20M for Partey, so 200M. Arsenal will be getting 50M+ for their European efforts, and the owners can manage to spend another 50M.
Classic spain shirt 🔥
Biggest thing separating the top 3 isnt points or goal difference, its their remaining fixtures. And Arsenal have (on paper) a significantly harder run-in. Hence the lower odds they are given.
I applaud your honest analysis & knowledge, it makes a nice change from pundits biased against us. 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
Great watch as always 👊🏿🙏🏿
Jinxed. There goes whatever chance we had.
Love you man, the best football channel
Im just happy to be on this ride COYG and may God be with us on this time 🙏
What you didn’t mention is that arteta tweaked his tactics a bit from last year and it took awhile for it to work
We're ready for anything❤
Two points: 1. Arteta has been really good at adjusting the tactics to overcome potential issues and unlock the potential of rotations in the final third while consistently allowing the team to build from the back. 2. The success of the signings is due to the team having a clearly defined playstyle, allowing the manager time to polish it, and involving him in the recruiting decisions. Liverpool are another great example of that.
I think our press and defense are our strongest points this season. The opposition cannot score if they can't get the ball in good positions, and they can't get in good positions if we win the ball back high. Arsenal were capable of doing this against weaker opposition last season, but they have improved tremendously this season, and are capable of doing it against much better opposition. The first half against Newcastle was a great example of this. And Kai and Declan's importance to this cannot be understated. Kai's physicality is such a bonus in the press, as well as winning aerials and second balls. And the way Declan reads the play and anticipates when to jump up and win the ball back is mindblowing to watch. There was a phase of play against Newcastle, where the opposition centre backs were passing it between themselves, and Declan had already started sprinting forward - 2 seconds later they pass it to Guimaraes and guess who's there to slide in from behind to win the ball back and create a scoring opportunity?
And if somehow you get through the first 2 lines of pressure, you then have the absolute tanks that are Gabriel and Saliba to face. While Saliba gets most of the praise, I would argue that Gabriel has been the better centre back and T3 players in the squad this season. Limiting City and Liverpool to a handful of shots on target is no joke. I don't know if we are going to win the league or not, but if we do, our defense will be the reason why.
As an Arsenal fan, I can confirm they are indeed dangerous... for my heart!
So the race is between Arsenal, Liverpool & 115 Charges. United fans in the mud.
Nice bro... Very fresh 😴
@@RRfootballshorts Shut up. Shite is shite, it has to be mentioned.
115 FC will win anyway
@@train_xc And would be stripped off their titles when justice prevails.
@ammarharith5512
This assumes that their guilty. But Honestly if they are guilty. I think they are justified in doing do FFP only benefits the top 4 teams(Arsenal, United, Chelsea and Liverpool)
Just look at Villa, they are now challenging for CL football but due to FFP they might be forced to sell someone like Watkins. So if the rules are rigged for four clubs favor, i think every other PL club would be justified in breaking those stupid and unfair rules.
As an Arsenal fan, I won't make up my mind about us being serious contenders for the league until at least 5 more matches.
Finally. A sensible fan 😂
Great show🔥
After watching pepe pocketing arsenal , now everyone wants this bald headed young man in their team, people talk about silva but pepe is the wine that is hidden in a high end royal crate.
He did okay and well for his age but he played Trossard onside which led to Arsenals equaliser last night so I wouldn’t say “pocketed” at all
Great video
Always a good day when we get a video
Bro klopp didn’t invent that fist pump. Stop the hate
We know. it's an obvious joke making fun of the Liverpool players who said similar things
You're an idiot if you can't see the clear sarcasm.
Im fine with arteta doing it but let’s not pretend it isn’t the celebration Klopp specifically is known for, just like bellingham didn’t “invent” the bellingham celebration
@@mobiustripleYh but the same celebration I’ve seen wenger and furgerson do it during those days
@@Ghajahha sure but Messi and Ronaldo also did the bellingham celebration, but it’s called the Bellingham celebration cuz he made it iconic, as far as Im concerned Arteta did the Klopp celebration
The Pheonix of the Premier league,
We had a horrendous end of December losing 2 in a row but still we rise COYG!!!!
I love watching Arsenal they play good football it would be nice for them to win this year
Arsenal just need a world class striker
As an Arsenal fan I think that Arsenal is the odd one out. However, that is good for them. They fell apart last season because the pressure of being first was too great. Now, they have everything to play for because no one is expecting anything from them. If Arsenal beat City at the Etihad then the title race is over.
as a spurs fan, they've been good to watch. i can't wait for NLD. it's gonna be a joy to watch.
All the teams have to go through you this season in it?
My favourite notification while eating lunch
Another thing to talk about. Last season at this time, we had the spine of our team out injured for the remainder of the season. And we had no truly capable backup to make up for the losses of Saliba and Partey. This year, we have good backup, and also, all of our players are actually getting healthy for the run-in. Jesus, Partey, Zinchenko, Tomiyasu, and even Timber (although unlikely to play much). We're been on a tear without these players, and now they are all back in the squad and healthy. That could mean something.
23/24 is sucha great season. I mainly watch Bundesliga and Premier League and both leagues are having outstanding seasons!
Try popping a desser on your audio. The highs are really distracting. Great information as always, but the audio makes it hard. If you want help, get in touch
Stuttgart is definitely a team that has to be talked about as well. From playing in the relegation play-off last season, to being almost assured of a spot in the UCL this season and I think that they surpassed their points total from last season, before December was even over. They are only 4 points behind Bayern, and are tied for the second best defense, with Bayern. This team definitely felt like it came out of nowhere, and I think has been flying a bit under the radar, because of what Leverkusen are doing, and the disfunction Bayern are in
The tie in the bed killed me 😂
i wish for more lofi like music and slower, lower vocal pace and tone like ur early videos but thanks 🙏
We bossed the league for the major part of last season. Left, right and center we kept getting "This is just a fluke. Watch how Arsenal crumble next season. The other teams in the league have just been poor, that's why they're where they are. With other teams strengthening next season, Arsenal may not even get CL football." Yet another season and we're top of the league again. Are we going to win it? I pray. But people need to zip it with their opinions - they know nothing, and most times it's just their bias talking. This Arsenal team is on course to dominating the P/CL for a long time if it stays together. Kudos to Mikel and the players for the fantastic job and progress.
As roma under de rossi would be interesting video
They weren't very dangerous against Porto last night, and in the first leg they didn't have a single shot on target.
I'm still pissed off about the macca penalty :/
They are finally really strong and ready for a championship run. I despise the stupid neon kits as I love the Red and White. But they're winning so I'll deal with it
Bro is jinxing us again, Stapphh
I have a feeling like there might be one more season before we actually win EPL or UCL. But can't be not optimistic about this team. They are doing really well. Bench is stacked. We have players coming back from injury. Only Martinelli is missing. But Trossard is no easy man to face.
Part 2
Watching your videos with 1.25 speed is best, who else realized?
I been watching your videos for a bit and only now I realized you have one of many recognisable South African accent. Checked your info and I was right lol.
Not against porto mate! Class video as always tho ❤ sidenote - i wonder how dangerous arsenal will be next season in premier league IF they win champions league this season.....
Let’s hope our defense is jinx proof this time, but it was a good video 👍
Well Arsenal had a good run
Finally someone with common sense.
People said Arsenal not good enough or didn't deserve to be in the QF because they were struggling against Porto. But as you said, Porto is one of the most discipline team Arsenal has faced. And Arsenal always struggling against that kind of team
I see your game Tinashe, why’d you have to do this now when I’m so happy
This team hustles across the board and I have met seen that from an Arsenal squad in a long time. A team can’t excel with only 8 or 9 of 11 playing full tilt
Arsenal fans are going to enjoy the next 10 years, Arsenal just have to pay their players
Thank you for this, arsenal now deserve trophies i think
Spurs content/England Content/USMNT content pleaseeee
A fight to finish
Couldn't you have released this video 2 days ago before the Porto game? We could have used the jynx
Saliba and Gabriel are going to bring arsenal many trophies
thank you for giving them props. now we'll beat them very well this weekend
Havertz was like this when he was at Chelsea too. As someone who watched him, he’s always been hot and cold and had phases of elite form, but never been consistent. His current Arsenal level isn’t that special.
Arsenal X Football iconic? There’s nothing better😍
As a Man City fan I'm happy Arsenal went through, the PL is showing its strength. We will see what mentality they have to qualify for semi finals and keep going in the league
It's been fun everyone. We've been jinxed
Why do you say that?
@@badyoutuber1986 Tinashe made a similar video last year and Arsenal imploded
Just realized you look like the handsome actor that plays falcon in MCU.
It's pronounced "Jakoob Keevior" but not like long "ee" and "oo"
🙏
Pretty sure it's going down to the last game, which is the best way to end any season!
