Because he talks bu**s**t all the time😂

[@MikiYork]

So do I lol on most things

[@LeechyPlatinum]

Laurie saying “yeah but he’s got a lot of love” when speaking about Havertz. What the hell did you want mikel to do buy him for 65, and treat him like a bitch? Honestly what a stupid argument to try and lodge against Havertz his performances and output merit the love and praise from the manager 😂

[@theliberalthinker3308]

He's saying that Havertz had been given unmerited opportunities to shine before his performances improved late in second half of the season. I think that's a fair assessment. Arteta's insistence on starting Havertz despite his below average performance in first half of the season cost Arsenal dearly--lack of fluency in attack and lack of decisive goals.

[@LeechyPlatinum]

@@theliberalthinker3308So you think we get the second half of the season Havertz if he was used far less and sat on the bench more in the first half of the season? (No chance btw) We can all look back in retrospect and make assessments and guess alternative realities. The facts are Kai was signed by mikel, appreciated by mikel, rebuilt confidence because of mikel and that bared fruit to the point we lost the title by 2 points on the final day. That’s not costing anyone dearly that’s what you call a process that come bitterly close to besting one the greatest mangers of all time, with one of the greatest premier league squads of all time.

[@theliberalthinker3308]

@@LeechyPlatinum You're missing the point. Laurie's statement was just a statement of fact. He didn't deny that Havertz beat his prediction and the predictions of many others. For me, Mikel was wrong to change formations at the beginning of the season and playing havertz all the time. That really killed the fluency of the play. The season before, Arsenal failed for 3 reasons: 1. the average age of the group; 2. squad depth (injuries and substitutes); 3. lack of a difference-maker striker. this season with the team maturing and the squad depth improve because of additions and better fitness, one would have expect a better outcome. So why has Arsenal came short once? That seems obvious. I'd have added a lethal and proven goalscorer who you can rely on in tight games, not relied on a potential great. so it's not about hindsight; it's about what Arsenal needed to go one step better. Having said that Havertz has done well in the last couple of months, and may improve a lot.

[@conrodlindsay5463]

​@@theliberalthinker3308you should apply for the job. Lets see if you do better than Arteta.

[@14_Phoenix]

​@@theliberalthinker3308 Havertz was not played up-front, first half of the season. He was being played as a midfielder which he clearly isn't.

[@marwaankriel178]

Stop playing the cups down as if it means nothing. In-order to be a winning team you got to get over the line. Ask City if they don't care about that competition. They've won it a fair bit of times and you no what, it helped them get that winning mentality. Right now Arsenal have to fine a way to get over the line. Winning cup competitions helps with that.

[@lloydkhambule]

[@potentialswillrule]

Isak is too injury prone for £150M

[@mikesade6214]

His injuries is so overstated. 3 seasons in La liga he played 37/38, 34/38, 32/38 - thats 11 missed league games in 3 seasons. last season he missed 16 fair enough. But this season he "only" missed 8 games in the league, which prob is the healthiest player in Newcastles squad lol

[@v2-kaj]

​​@@mikesade6214the healthiest.. 😂 very funny..

[@hzskillz1721]

Nowadays players are overpriced we have to learn to live with it.

[@davidbedoya7492]

I mostly agree with everything Turkish has but that 140 mil isak take is such a bad take, he’s so injury prone and not worth that mineh

[@sean49999]

Agree, 90-100m max!

[@minorears5205]

Agreed. I think the whole take is flawed. Attackers used to be worth more than the other players because they were genuinely better than the other plays and worth it. There aren't many quality strikers in the market right now so it makes sense the other players are worth more.

[@joe256]

Very often I find myself forgetting that AFTv is a fan channel with real fans and I end up holding them to a higher standard of analysis. (This is not a dis). The entire panel regurgitates a striker being a priority or how if one isn't, then it's because of Kai's performance. How can the priority be a striker in a situation where Thomas Partey and Jorginho have been and still are your only 6 options? The biggest chunk of our budget should go to an elite 6. I'd say, second in order of importance would be a backup 8, an alternative to Rice. I'd also say we're more in need of a wide forward than a CF.

[@Sui_Generis0]

Accountant Turkish saying to pay 140m-150m for Isak. Ridiculous. It is best to keep off talking about valuations and wages. Rice for 100m doesn't set that precedent, cant believe what I was hearing

[@timackndiane7166]

robbie giving the excuses for the cups! it was embarrasing stop sugarcoating it! Havertz had a good season but was not brillant. simmer down

[@denzz2778]

Havertz has had a brilliant first season especially because he was played in midfield for half the season

[@perfectbytyler2319]

laurie got that havertz hate in his heart

[@hzskillz1721]

Just the way i hate Raya😂😂😂

[@Kate-ms2mn]

idk why Arsenal would throw that kind of money at a striker, I think the top priority should be finding someone who can play Partey's role more consistently than Partey can. Jesus and Havertz aren't exactly Haaland or Henry, but they're excellent fits for Arteta's system. Isak would be good too, but not such an improvement that it justifies the cost it would need to take Newcastle's diamond from them. Especially when we've got actual liabilities with two aging 6s who can't be relied on for a full season. No idea who could realistically go there

[@clap.c3313]

6:30 "He has been given alot of love.." this is crazy to say with the amount of hate this guy got from Arsenal fans and rival fans. Than you need to back your signing otherwise he is just gonna drown.

[@babamusah2326]

Am waiting for you guys to do the season player ratings ❤️❤️👍

[@boubahdiallo2903]

People always forget that saka always has the support of odegard and white and martineli has no one and has always track back

[@joe256]

Martinelli also usually has the most space on the pitch considering play is usually heavily biased to the right and only switches to the left after the defending team saturates the right.

[@limjermaine6344]

cant agree as rice is playing on that side and his replacement trossard has the same dilemma yet has better output

[@lucksonnkhuwa8091]

Let's try it ourselves rather than depending on others to get the job done for us ..next season on a count ..coyg

[@TeddymanYT]

Lokonga staying for another season would be good imo. Probably wont fetch a proper fee anyways, and with Elneny (potentially Partey ESR) leaving we are starting to look really short in midfield when it comes to backup/rotation options

[@Sui_Generis0]

He said they agreed he'll be going

[@HOLDENHIPHOP]

Someone like Laurie is good to have around for a contrarian POV when things aren't going well but right now, it's just annoying to listen to. Not everything is a conspiracy

[@Probrehzzy]

The prediction wasn't that bad

[@gooner1756]

Challenging for the title is very important I won’t be any happier with a top 4 and fa cup because that means the season as a whole was a horrible experience And we’re further from being the best team in the league

[@14_Phoenix]

Has been indulged by the manager???? He signed him for 65m, GENIUS. Do you want to sign players for big money and make them warm the bench ??? He has to play him and improve his confidence. Yes, he played poor initially because he was being played as a midfielder, which he clearly isn't. Havertz started off poor but finished really strong. His 2024 performance is easily top-4 in the squad.

[@RickyMurga]

9:58 I’m sorry who did Arsenal have in the group stages of the UCL? PSV Lens Sevilla? That was an easy group

[@Goonermenu]

Yea , Isak is good but why is everyone ignoring the fact that he is injury-prone. I'll rather have Leao and play him up front. If Havertz keeps firing, have Leao in LW.

[@Arty2senis]

Zinny 's best game for me was coming of the bench for Odegaard to play as an 8/10 😁 Can't remenber opposition.

[@Amsn9393]

I always say to arsenal fans is that how good the job your manager is doing look by seeing what's your rival fans opinion on it. I bet you all the rival fans aka spurs man utd chelsea liverpool even city fans when pep leaves would take arteta at their club in a heart beat and that's why these rival fans are desperate for us to sack arteta so that we would go backwards as a club. The real level headed arsenal fans would clearly see the situation of our club it was when arteta took over and how he build up this squad from scratch to now what is a team competing with the best manager out there and a team with unlimited resources. Everyone talks about money, but the money we have spend till now was just to make sure we catch up city to that position. The reality is to overcome them we need to spend more and eventually we will be winning a lot of trophies in next or upcoming seasons especially when pep is gonna leave in 1-2 years time. Watch when pep will leave we would be winning even more and we could create an era of domination in league like what pep did with city. So arsenal fans stay level headed and believe the progress we are making. Reactionary fans like today would've got sir alex the sack for short term thinking and he would've never been able to create the legacy he created with man utd.

@FrankSolo367 I don't understand why, Arsenal literally primed for someone like him to take over the world. But anyway, maybe we get him at 29/30 years old. Whenever I manifest, it happens. When Odegaard initially chose Madrid, I said at the time all those years ago he'll be an Arsenal player. When I first seen Mbappe at Monaco, I said he'll be an Arsenal player.
