The New Arsenal Game Plan Is SCARY!

The scary truth about Arsenal football club this season. Arteta is building a team of monsters with 6ft2 Mikel Merino and 6ft2 Riccardo Calafiori joining Arsenal and taking that left hand side up levels. Why Arsenal can win the league. Saka and Havertz cannot stop scoring. Trossard is clutch and Martinelli improving. No Odegaard and Arteta has adapated wel but Arsenal are going up levels. #arsenal #havertz #merino

If Merino was reaching 22 years of age and him saying that he's seeing things that he has never seen anywhere, it wouldn't have mattered a lot. But he is 28, and played across Europe in the topflight football all these years and him saying this says everything that's going in the Arsenal Club.

[@B_razzer]

He played for Newcastle when they were shit and Real Sociedad who are a good La Liga team, learning new things at Arsenal ain’t that crazy bc it is a step up it’s not like he’s coming from Bayern Munich & Real Madrid saying these things. 💀

[@yf9409]

It is rumored that Mikel is working with some elite NFL and NBA managers via the Kronkee’s Sports Enterprise connection in the USA 🇺🇸 to work on his tactics and borrow some of theirs. So when Merino said he hadn’t seen anything like that before I agree ☝🏾 with him. Arteta is tactically making Arsenal unpredictable. Managers will have a tough time trying to figure his game plan or tactics. Cos if you want the ball Arteta and his men are happy to defend deep and let you have the ball and also the possession because they’ll hurt you on the counterattack or set pieces and if you’re not good on the ball Arteta will dominate you and box you into your own half. He can also hv his men defend in the zonal mid-block. To be honest it is scary that he is also a quick learner and also ready to adapt to your style to beat you, he will say we are not worried about what our opponents do; we only need to focus on ourselves 😂😂😂. I can’t wait for us to get a prolific striker.

Our final form of versatility is when Odegaard returns because he is the one who gives us the fluidity in attack that we have lacked in this beginning and in defense he is by far the best player in oop and high press that we have, if the high press is already suffocating with Odegaard it is much more.

What people say about Arteta does not matter to me. He has genuinely turned our club around. Given that some of our players, including White, Odegaard, Tomiyasu, and Zinchenko, are still sidelined, I am not at all concerned about losing a game these days because we have a strong squad. All I can hope for is that the football gods will favor us and that we win the Premier League in May 2025.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Nfl/nba tactics using decoy runners and screens would be beneficial around set pieces. If indeed true thats sick!!! Hope we can get even better

[@mikeabu843]

Once we have a prolific striker, we will be scary, real scary, we would make Messi, iniesta barca led team, look like child's play, even city with Haaland would look like an average team. Because with havertz and Jesus which we know are not that prolific, arsenal are still looking like monsters, I can't imagine if we now have a prolific one up front, I can't wait for arsenal to sign that player, and that is why I am happy Arteta is not rushing to get a player for this position, it shows he knows how important that position is, and if he gets it right, arsenal are going to be opening a whole lot of floodgates to trophies and titles.

[@lwando88]

I think we also underestimate how important Saka has been to this Arsenal renaissance. He represents everything Arsenal and as a result I feel like he needed to buy into the Arteta project and that has motivated so many other players to sign because they see what Arteta has been able to do with Saka. Bukayo could be rolling in dough anywhere in Europe or Middle East because Arsenal were basically picked apart for years. His loyalty and belief in the Arteta project has really helped Arsenal in an immense way. As much as Jurrien, Merino, Calafiori and others say they have always wanted to come to Arsenal, I really think they might have thought twice about joining if Saka's career was fumbled by Arsenal. Now they know the Arteta project is the real deal. I think we undervalue his true contribution to the club. In my eyes, the boy is becoming a legend and in 15 years I bet we will be debating who the bigger Arsenal legend is between him and Thierry Henry.

[@innercircle341]

Exactly athletic monsters. Big physical specimens. Not exactly genius, it's been done before. Even the smaller players, like Martinelli, are just roadrunners. Trossard has got some skill, Odegaard too but very one footed. Nwanieri high skill level. The rest are machines.

[@mikeabu843]

Rivals would say he is seeing arsenal's dark art method, if that is it then go get your own dark arts, no one is stopping you all from using dark art too. So rivals should not get rattled with how good arsenal have become, we would get better and when we finally win the league, you all will have nothing to say again.
