In today's video I provide an in-depth tactical analysis on Arsenal's 5-0 win over Chelsea on Tuesday evening. Arteta and Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to three points, with Liverpool playing on Wednesday, and four points clear of Manchester City, who now have two games in hand. In the video I cover:
- Mauricio Pochetinno and Chelsea's Distanced Build-Up and Sub-Par Mid-Block
- Arsenal's improvements vs the mid-block, including the return of Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard and his mental switch, Kai Havertz and his freedom to move
- How to break down a mid block? Runners, Passers, and the tenacious type who is 'able to scrap for it'--what do I mean? Well, I hope this video is a more nuanced analysis of how to break down a mid-block.
- Arteta's platforming of Odegaard: drifting central and left more with the inclusion of Partey; becoming part of Arsenal's responsibility-fluid build-up
- Arteta's platforming of Havertz: lateral and vertical movements to stretch, drag, and create space; how he improves his finishing levels; his role at CF
-- Arsenal's hybrid press once again succeeding
Arsenal got off to a fast start when Leandro Trossard made it 1-0 thanks to some neat combination play from Havertz and Partey, finding Rice who drove into the Chelsea box to release Trossard.
Arsenal made it 2-0 after the break with Ben White getting his first of 2 goals (5-0). In between these strikes, Kai Havertz haunted his former club to bag a brace with two finely taken finishes. Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard also provided assists, in what looked a very balanced Arsenal team.
The Gunners also collected another Premier League clean sheet, making it 14 for David Raya in goal, with the duo of Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba imperious once again. Takehiro Tomiyasu looked to bulletproof Arsenal's transitional defense against Chelsea's fast and direct plan, with Nicolas Jackson, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, and Connor Gallagher looking to outlet for the blues. Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi had trouble picking up the Arsenal's attackers' movements, with Cucurella having a fierce battle with Bukayo Saka and Alfie Gilchrist struggling vs Trossard. Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez struggled in deeper midfield once again, as Chelsea stay ninth and Arsenal go to the top of the premier league on match day 34.
