How Will Arsenal Cope Without Odegaard?

we've got two weeks here that could Define Arsenal season particularly off the back of dropping points to Brighton just arsenals or could cities be defined as well well one goes One hand washes the other the same goal um how I'd love to see how Turkish is feeling because obviously over the last couple of weeks you brought in M Moreno he gets injured um I know Gabriel Jus picked up an injury as well then you had Dean rice who picked up an injury for England red card red red oh sorry the red card that he got sent off against Brighton sorry um and now obviously we've seen Martin erard we don't know the extent of the injury but we SE hobbling around calaor is out where's your midfield for this game against Spurs and are you worried about that or is it a case of it's only Spurs n no you can't listen listen Spurs away for me is is one of the most nerve-wracking games it's a London North London derby um and behind behind United for me I think is it's the game I'm growing up I most look forward to so we can't take it lightly Midfield where's our Midfield the transfer window we left it light there um I mean we we'll be fin now fortunate what what do you think it will be Thomas parte will start parte georgino a if it was me I'd do part georgino Neri you know it's it's a wild card he's 17 they they leave space we need mobility in Midfield but talented boy though yeah anything outside of that now we're doing cogs in different places we move H HS maybe into the 10 Gab up front or Sterling I don't know or do you move Saka into the 10 because sacka has played there a couple times early on performed well but he's also our best Winger no you can't move you can't move sacka it's right now definitely georgino I'm going to stick my on the line and sayeri the defender timber in Midfield zinchenko Midfield zin's been touted but we haven't seen him start a game in Midfield once for us he's played more than one year he's play twice for Arenal started I just think Zin in Midfield zenko is it a good player squad player I don't not as a midfielder squad player I hate his face as well not not as a midfielder I don't think you can play zenko as a midfielder in a game of this magnitude he's a bit extra man he's like got quality on the ball when you give him time but not in a Midfield what he said as well you know like zenchenko is the guy where if he comes in as the extra man you got the space time starting in there is a bit different it's like when people go start Tren in Midfield you're like yeah he's good coming over there but you don't to start him there do you know what I mean exactly that's my point with Zin so defensively I wouldn't shake it Ben in my opinion keep best right back in the Le with Tren defensively in my opinion the best in the last 18 24 months um so he would have been right back of the year last year wouldn't he in my opinion yeah and the year before he was second behind tropia in my opinion I Trent's obviously generational and got all the talent in the world but Ben White's up there I wouldn't change that Timber starts left back defense is the defense Midfield is literally that's who we have we have georgino we have pte and we have Neri can't believe I'm saying this but they've got a better midfielder you haven't they into this game I can't believe that true what basuma s but what we're basically ask fantastic second string is better than spurs' first string which I'd still take part I think spur Spurs fan being honest no bias I know it's hard to say if you were a Spurs fan saying this part starts for Spurs was it zenko who said is the best DM he's ever played with over R smoking something no but he's just being friendly to his teammate isn't he it can't be true I I wouldn't say toh like when I tell people boie is the best person I've ever worked with in football who is it then it's you I take that you know you know I mean just being nice to his sure surely this isn't actually boof this isn't controversial Arsenal's Midfield that Turkish just pointed out compared to basuma SAR and Madison basuma SAR Madison is better Trio I think think I think yeahum party are very you know like they'll Dominate and then you got no no but B's up there on his day basuma can have a party performance in fact I'd probably rather bassum my team over part yeah we've got the experience in there and the more the more classy set in terms of the double pivot or the or the six and the eight with Geor on party on their day you know they've been at the top level of football and back but Madison quality he's the best midfielder on shot could it be a case that arteta tries to bypass the Midfield and maybe do something a little bit different so that the fight isn't in the middle of the part last last season we allowed Tottenham possession I don't know if people remember the game the end yeah three that half yeah that game people have been people that I've been speaking to and actually listening to on the radio today that because that game finished 3-2 people were portraying it as being a very tight game yeah and I actually remember we were watching I think we're in Ireland and it was the most one-sided Arsenal was so much better Arsenal battered them okay they slipped up a little bit they went a bit soft towards the end but it was the most one-sided North London Derby I think I've ever seen and 3-2 doesn't tell you that story no no it doesn't 100% we were slack you know and it nearly cost them I think I think you could be honest to me I don't necessarily think that it will be that but what we do know is that meletta is a far Supreme manager to an bogu so the answer actually could be in The Dugout whether it's bypass and Midfield maybe it's that maybe whatever the answer is I think Mikel and really it's quite easy for him because an doesn't have a different way so he knows how they're going to set up yeah he knows how they're going to play and they off the back they got smashed at St james' part last weekend they got absolutely smashed SP ripped they got they dropped points to less they've had a terrible start to the season but people love to portray it as being you know I've never known any any uh manager carry such favor with the Press they've been a they've had a wful start to the season gives them a good quotes I think if it was the man city game without rice rice is back for the man city game so that's a big difference it's it's Spurs I still think you can get through it I always beat I think win the game after all Aral win game I predict the win because I think the space is there for us to to take it to them and if I fancy our luck in a pinball game with them you go h no no the next three games for both teams arsenals are obviously Spurs City both away from home and they've got Lester at home you know the important thing to flag on that y they drew their last game as well so it makes these it makes these particularly the next two like you know if Arsenal beating Brighton you go maybe a draw against Tottenham and then a draw against City Su becomes okay whereas now you're looking at it with the draw that they've already had they can't really take three points out of n can they they certainly can't take less than in brenford the day before yeah City win that well by the time City play by the Sorry by the time Arsenal kick a ball man city will be a symbolically big lead ahead there'll be five points ahead of them yeah I think we get nine points out of brenford City versus Arsenal at home I think that's a a standard win with AllCast you never beat Arsenal in the League last year though yeah deflected effort and they were they they parked the bus at the SE to try and Nick a drw with all du respect they did didn't fine fine fine fine but but the way City playing right now get used to him trying to dangle the remember before before when you beat the season before you beat them twice in the league and once in the cup y that's just the facts and we and and we appreciate the facts and we and we um have a conversation about them now let's just look at the facts from last season Arsenal took four points off you in the League last year yeah they did did and and but what I'm saying is what I've seen from City so far as season I know it's early but the level is extremely high already it's extremely high de bruyne's running games rodri's not even come back into the side yet all and back toback hat-tricks no one's ever scored seven goals in the first three games of a premier league and I think he'll get a hatrick against brenford and I can say that in a in a football podcast and not sound like a crazy get G up and everyone goes yeah it's crazy brenford had a few results at the Tony's now enjoying his retirement in Saudi Arabia let me just yeah million quid Round of Applause for Ivan Tony man went from League two to half a million a week on T he actually went from League 2 to an England International and he's thrown it all away how big are these next three games for both clubs and the title race is it too early to be going this is a huge couple of weeks for the nothing's won at this stage of the season but you can lose it if Arsenal don't if Arsenal don't take six six points out of those three fixtures bearing in mind the the points they've just recently if they beat Tottenham and they beat Leicester beat Tottenham lose to City beat Leicester game on they've lost to lose the city again City when you say again they didn't lose and lose that we're saying they're going to L okay draw or lose I want to see Arsenal go to yead and show that they're level above City I think it's symbolic but the context has to been brought in the game com got huge injuries how many how many times in Pep's history has someone gone away to a pep side and shown them who's boss yeah they've never won the league Liverpool did it and they won the league we're talking about greater managers than Mikel all of a sudden now the the the the narrative is Arsenal have to go there and win how hold on how many times did Liverpool go to EAD and win in the they beat us loow and they won the they got the CH final at EAD in the league how many times did Liverpool uh when they got 99 points they beat us that season Once that's what I'm saying so once so now that is the once they won the league that's the only time they won the league and we would have won The League last year if we had beat them so yes people can beat us but we weren't holders at the time but draws in the next two games puts us four points behind City we beating Tottenham and losing to City puts us five points behind City so it's mad that two draws puts us in a better position you get it and I think the bare minimum we need to stay in and around the conversation because there is no race yet the race is formed game we 19 game week 20 then you'll know who's in the race but but would it also be fair to say that it's very unlikely that the team that ultimately wins the league will take four points from a fixture against Brighton Tottenham and then their head to head rival say ask that question again so it's unlikely it's unlikely that Arsenal will win the league or city will win the league if they only take one point from Brighton at home one point from Tottenham away and then they lose against their rival whoever wins the league out of you two will get more points against Brighton and Tottenham and each other I no I think well City have won the league whilst losing to Tottenham a lot and not performing great at but Totten were never going for the title he's that's not the point that's not the point here yeah he asked him if Arsenal don't beat Spurs and Brighton yeah and then they lose to City can they still win the league my point was City have lost to Spurs and probably dropped points to Brighton and still won the league yeah like do you know what I mean like so it has happened previously but just the accumulation of it back to back to back so early on and like I know what you said about the title race does warm up around gameweek 19 but if you're six points off on gameweek 19 City are going to think there's no title race we're gone got no pressure obviously there's pressure internally there's a massive highly a high standard to achieve of course there is lots of money selling about it's a very successful Squad but if you win four Premier Leagues in a row and break history multiple times with this generation of SES the pressure is on Arsenal is try and take that off of City I think that's massive I think that's an interesting question actually micheletta won a trophy a long time ago now and he's been you know really really launching a sustained bid for the league second twice in a row two points off it last season pqu Ola is Pep Guardiola and the standards are through the roof who's it more pre weirdly I think I agree with you boovy it is more pressure for Arsenal this season there's more pressure on us this season there's pressure on United this season there's more pressure basic negotiation whoever wants it less in a negotiation the is under the most is under the least amount of pressure if I want something less from you you want it more from me yeah the pressure is say why I don't want give in the big six man let's let's look at the big six in general they're the least under pressure in the whole big forget just Arsenal why why is Arsenal just the only team cuz you're the only competitor okay from an Arenal perspective need trophy more so than City because no one really cares about City win the league that that that it comes down to that if Arsenal are neck and neck with City at the end of the season more often than not the fans the opposition fans will want City to win the league likewise with Liverpool City and United well not necessarily United because that's a no United will want City to win the league if Liverpool going for it yeah well yeah but it's still a sticky situation you can't really ask to pick one but um yeah that's what so the pressure's always on us the pressure was on us four years ago years ago there's an internal pressure though that comes with it as well in it like the team will be feeling their own pressures that are separate from there's also a huge pressure what would they be going for here five in a row which has obviously never been done and it's never been done for Reas I think that will bring like a little bit of a relaxation to no but the thing is the reason why it's so pressure for city is because basically if you don't get the five now you're probably never going to get it this squad of players w they have to win four in a row again to then get 10 You' got to get the 10 you've got to get the 10 when it's season because you're not going to get that opportunity again they need it pressure Turkish Arsenal fans and Etta is there a pressure there towards him in terms of all right you need to deliver us a trophy 100% And what what is that is an FA Cup going to satisfy that urge or does it have to be one of the big two do you know what it is I want you I want your opinion on it as well as well as movie and Rory as well M at the end of last season my last fan came of the season on aftv I said we're going to win the league next year because I expected us to do what we needed to have done in the summer right and throughout the summer I was very patient looking at and I said we have to win the League this year and I also looked at man City's lack of improvement over the summer and in my opinion year on year they're weaker side still a great side still the best side in the league with the best manager but year on year I feel they are weaker with losing gundan and mahrez last summer bringing gundan back but losing Alvarez I just feel like there was an advantage for us to take we failed to take advantage of that in the summer so I can't I still think we need to win the Premier League I don't think we will win the Premier League and a lot of the fans will look at Mel artetta for that because it is his fifth year of the so you said that you thought you were going to win the league you had to and then within a few months because of the transfer window so that is that one Striker that you're missing is that the issue it's not one stri one big Mar signing it it's a few holes really I mean a backup to sacka back up to Old theard why did we let Smith and Vieira leave if if we don't even have an option now older guard's injured some of these things didn't make sense Sterling's an upgrade on Nelson yes but is he an upgrade on and Keta Vieira and Smith row no he's not an upgrade on four bodies he's an upgrade on one maybe two Max though in the summer we didn't do anywhere near enough of what we should have done in my opinion last year I had the belief that we can win the league off the back of rice htz and Timber and so on this year I've got the belief that we're not going to win it because of what they done now mikel's name will come up more often than not I always look at the ownership and I'll always continue looking at the ownership Mel hasn't signed the contract right now as we speak here before this video goes out he's let himself go into his last year that's definitely not the club that have allowed that if it if it was on the club he would have signed last year so why is he in his last year it's either he doubts himself because he has mentioned maybe he is not the man to take us over the line before or he's not happy with the the the the transfer window on son we know what this club done to Wenger look how it ended with Wenger although although he spent a lot of money like he's been backed hasn't he he he's he's been backed to a level that you're nearly at the you're nearly at the brink of PSR issues the reason the reason that David R to sign on loan and then sign properly was because of PSR issues but he did need to spend that absolutely yeah that that the team he took over needed investment no doubt but they have backed him as much as they possibly can because they at the brink of PSR especially when you like get rice ahead of city and things like that as well that was strong and you know a lot of people used to say to me Arsenal won't spend 100 Mil you're so negative why why would you demand that then we spend 100 Mil it's like oh wow because we can we make that money but but the reality is is the ownership have backed him back to square one square one was making Champions League football right that was square one for this ownership and even challenging for a title we're talking 20 years ago back to square one now what did they do from here Rory make 10 million profit let's talk about what they do from square one now because I know what they're going to do you needed one more Allison and Van Dyk for Liverpool 150 you needed you needed 200 mil rice and another 100 million RoR said is right as well because well what Turkish and Rory said is both right they needed to invest in that team well because the players that left the club didn't have any resell value their PSI is now blown to bits and you've seen a lot of clubs now that having to deal with it and I feel like some clubs will go like I think Liverpool this summer have gone let's not spend and next year they're going to splurge like they will have a big splurge and I think a lot of clubs are going to do that yeah Arsenal just beat tot toad tot the sky is blue the grass by the way that's the pressure the underlying pressure is they have to beat they have to be anyway yeah but already away from home back in the day a draws decent w l they have to now yeah that's true the pressure's on that's true it is on I saw against Brighton it is on that's true if Spurs beat Arsenal and they on they on level on points there we go nice
