GOOD LUCK preparing to play against Arsenal next season. It'll be a guessing game. If you press, which fullback will invert, and which #8 will drop deep? If you go man-to-man, they can play long to Havertz & can create artificial transitions. If you sit deep, pff. No chance...

Michael Carrick has taken Middlesbrough from 22nd to 3rd in just 14 games as manager at the club. I’m unsure it’s possible to comprehend how special that is, especially when considering his style represents that of the elites (4-2-4 ➡️ 3-2-5 in possession, 4-4-1-1 off the ball).

Rice is the only #6 in world football that could also become a world class #8 . His ball-carrying, ability to attack space from deep, quick feet in tight spaces and ball-striking are all phenomenal assets for a more advanced player. I keep saying it, but he's the BEST out there.

Saliba is the PFA young player of the year already. Give that man the award. He's elite, the best centre back in the league this season. No doubt. Both him and Mikel Arteta deserve equal credit because the compact structure he plays in enables him to succeed too. Incroyable.

Kieran McKenna has the highest win ratio in Ipswich Town history and got the club promoted today. Michael Carrick brought Middlesbrough from the relegation zone into the playoffs spots, and comfortably so. Y'all thought Ole Gunnar Solskjær was a PE coach.. He cultivated this 🔴

Arsenal are good enough in between both boxes & in their own box to win the Champions League. They are optimally suited to managing all types of game-states. It took Pep's City years to figure out the blueprint, but Arteta's men have it already. Just lack a superstar attacker.

City are unimaginably special. It is near impossible to gain an edge on them, so you have to match them. Arteta's Arsenal have done that thanks to their manager, tactical versatility, & squad-building. Where Arsenal have an edge is psychologically. The club is a sleeping giant.

I call for patience with Erik ten Hag. Manchester United's tactical display last night was their *BEST* of the season. Don't let the fact that they went down to 10 men fool you otherwise. They were sensational with 11 men & it was ENTIRELY down to Erik ten Hag! MEGA-THREAD! 🚨

As it stands, Arsenal are the most difficult team to prepare to play against in the world. Their tactical diversity is off the scale.

This is interesting from Granit Xhaka on the differences between Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso. If anybody knows either coach, it would be the heartbeat of both Arteta’s Arsenal and Alonso’s Leverkusen. ❤️🖤

Arsenal need to keep Charlie Patino. Can you imagine the all-English midfield 3 of Declan Rice, Charlie Patino, and Emile Smith-Rowe? The balance and quality is perfect. They would all excel in transition-based games but could also suffocate the opposition via technical quality.

Saliba plays with the mind of a 39-year-old Thiago Silva at the tender age of 22. It is for this reason why he is the perfect player, in and out of possession. He complements his physicality & technical quality with unique maturity & composure. Gabriel is a great partner, too..

Oh man. Is there anything better than persevering through difficult times and achieving success in the end? Hard to find, but Kai Havertz’ journey is even better because of how so many people doubted him. Doubt him now, ladies and gentlemen. Doubt him now.

It could be argued that Arsenal built play with 5 and a half players and attacked with 4 and a half players at times last season, largely because of Xhaka's profile. Now Mikel Arteta wants to build with 5 AND attack with 5 (with Trossard or Havertz in the left 8). A thread 🔴⚪
