In today's video I provide an in-depth analysis of Mikel Arteta and Arsenal's out of possession shapes and systems this 2023/24 season, and why they are so integral to their success as a side.
Their hybrid press that mixes between a man to man, and a zonal press is of the highest tactical implementation and also possesses the right personnel to make it tick.
Finding a balance between aggression and conservative-ness, and also having a humbleness to drop from their 4-1-4-1 zonal press into a 4-4-2 block is part of what makes Arsenal so good in limiting transitions, controlling space and games.
Their man to man press is often triggered by Martin Odegaard or Kai Havertz, leaving the zone to form a situational 4-1-3-2, giving the signal for Martinelli, Jesus, Nketiah, Declan Rice, Jorginho, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, or whoever is on the pitch to go man to man.
Defensively, I believe Arsenal have now SURPASSED Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, and this may extend to profiles available as well.
Zinchenko, Ben White, Saliba, Gabriel Magahlaes, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Jurrien Timber, match up against Kyle Walker, Akanji, Ruben Dias, Rico Lewis, Nathan Ake, John Stones, and Gvardiol. I'll let you decide who you would prefer...

He is building a champion’s league winning team. This kind of tactics are best for cup games

Another well explained video that shows just how far Arteta has brought this team in his time here. I'm very interested in your next topic. I have my own ideas on who should be the midfield passer/anchor but very interested to see if they align or not with your much more considered thoughts!

Even though we lost 3-0 to West Ham they didn't create alot of chances against us. I think that has been the theme this seaosn. Teams don't create that much chances against us. We conceded 5 shots from them, 3 on target.

I think arsenal are harder to beat this season i think what arteta is doing is he is sacrifice our attack for defense he learned that attack wins you games but defense wins you titles that what we lacked last season

Our defense was just terrible against West Ham. Hope that we don't do that against Newcastle. I think Zinchenko was the issue in that match. He must be dropped against Newcastle.

But you need to have a lethal attack to win titles too We haven't had that this season Only good defence won't be enough to win the league It might help us in KO games tho

@@isakeng007 just not true.. Westham xg was 0.4. Zinchenko's individual defending for the Kudus goal was shit.. but thats an individual error nothing to do with team coaching and set up.. other than that West ham didnt create enough chances for even ONE goal on average if we play that game over and over. They got one from an own goal which would be disallowed with VAR, that Zinny error (great individual work from Kudus also) and a deflected goal that Ramsdale was otherwise saving. To clarify it could be semantics .. coz i see u mention Zinny as well.. but "our defense" implies to me the team defensive performances and how much chances we let the opp create. All Arteta can do about individual errors is drop players and i suspect we are already seeing that this season with Tomi playing LB more.. the cup game was a rotated / second choice team.. I think thats what Zinchenko is now. and i think he will be out altogether once Timber is back, whjo is a much better defender.

Lovely analysis as usual. I will love a video about the depth issue that Arsenal has. it seems that everything we rotate the team doesn't play the same in multiple areas of the pitch.

I wouldn't call it a depth issue so much as a lack of familiarity. West Ham loss isn't so much that the depth led to a drop off in performance, but that the 2nd string that played hasn't played together in a match because Arteta hasn't rotated a lot over the last 2 years. More this year than last, but still. Nketiah has been player of the match with the first team. Tomiyasu has been player of the match with the first team. Jorginho, Vieira, etc. The talent drop off in our depth isn't really an issue so much as familiarity is. This also goes to how some of the players have different profiles and over-rotation leads to a loss of that dynamism that makes Arsenal its most lethal. Nketiah is still developing that aspect. Nelson is still developing that. Etc. In general, we have one of the most deep squad's in the league in terms of lack of drop off. It just needs more time to familiarize and more rotation to get everyone's confidence up.

Think we are really loose and limber at the back, but in attack (despite having great depth on paper), the cohesiveness isn’t there because Mikel, in fairness, hasn’t been as accepting to change things up. Thank you again though 🙏
