Saka becomes ineffective towards end of the season as he plays too many games. Arsenal needs players like Sterling to ease Saka's burden with the number of games ..

[@SelfAugment]

Sterling will be a monster for Arsenal this season. Chelsea are so dysfunctional that he was ruined there. He's been saying over and over since he arrived that he's all in on the togetherness of the Arsenal squad and the Arsenal vision. In our system, he's gonna cook and come up with big moments in big games and tough spots against difficult lesser opponents, mark my words! You have to understand what he is and what he's not, and for Arsenal right now he's precisely what we've been missing sniffing out chances on the opposite side to Saka, and he's VERY hungry. This signing is exactly what we needed.

[@fatehalrahmanelhassan1430]

Very false

[@SelfAugment]

@fatehalrahmanelhassan1430 so far he hasn't been given a chance yet. He's looked decent enough in the Carabao Cup when he has played, but hasn't had enough minutes. We may see more of him now that Saka has his injury. Arteta wants to persist with Martinelli and never resting Saka, and the point of bringing in Sterling was competition for Martinelli and to allow Saka a few games off here and there to keep him fresh. I guess Arteta doesn't think Sterling is up to it, so looks like I was wrong.

[@FinsburyPhil]

It's crazy how things can change in a few moments. Arsenal had a decent pre-season and transfer window. And now, ahead of an away NLD, Rice is suspended, Merino is out with a freak injury and they've sold their second-string midfield and attackers. So Havertz will have to play L8 and with Jesus injured, that means Trossard will have to play as a false 9. If they get one injury to those players during that game, they will have to rely on a 17 year old or playing someone out of position. Definitely still short of a central attacker - even one that isn't a £100+m world beater.

[@aka_jr]

I could see them start a front 5 of (left to right) Martinelli/Sterling, Havertz, Trossard, Ødegaard and Saka/Sterling, and I think that probably Nwaneri can come off the bench for Ødegaard? But at least with this scenario, you have two subs who could potentially replace 3 of the players who start. It’s still good depth, considering we’re missing so many players.

[@saifsaad1166]

I don't think Arsenal struggled against low blocks as much as you think. It only really happened against bayern but in the prem we were cooking teams that were playing low blocks(but you can also say our midfield was useless because no ball was progressed in the middle). However, we struggled against mid blocks like Aston Villa, fulham, and porto. When partey, isn't playing we're missing a player that progresses the ball as good as him.

Asking this at time stamp 7:04 so idk if there’s an answer for this later in the video. If Sterling were to start in the games where Arsenal know an opponent is going to be sitting deep and using that low block how do you think the midfield an attack look? Personally I see Arsenal using a midfield of rice (playing a more defensive role), Ødegaard, and Havertz. Then have the attack be Sterling (LW), Trossard (CF), Saka (RW) but wanted to know your opinions.

[@darkboiq4873]

I really think Timber could play as left 8 or bring O to the left and have timber on the right

[@Richard-j1k1v]

I beg to differ on your analysis. I think you have missed a trick which Arsenal and Arteta have not. We have just seen Spain as a good passing team with 2 speedy dynamic goal scoring wingers with a variety of weapons terrising defenses and easily win the Euros sweeping aside all before them. I think in Sterling and Saka with Arsenal we are about to see a good passing team with 2 speedy dynamic goal scoring wingers with a variety of weapons terrorising defenses being used to win the Premier League giving Arsenal another system of play they can deploy with proven lethal effect.

On the injury thing, Partey was out most of last season as was Jesus. But i believe allot of our players played injured last year. When you’re going for the title you play through with smaller knocks. Could affect player longevity though.

Goated analysis on the spot

[@grahamnewton4381]

Stirling works out until he doesn’t. His problem is that he isn’t an ideal fit in any position. He wants to be a centre forward and scores close in instinctive goals but his marked limitations so as soon as a better centre forward comes along he is sidelined. He also falls over and complains a lot.

[@gmoney1664]

I hear the argument, but I also remember Sterling missing chance after chance at City. So while he scored a bunch, he missed a load more, and I'm not sure Arsenal create enough chances for the amount Sterling will miss

[@sigfigronath]

I hear you, but it works both ways. Sterlings movement helps create more volume of chances. But he will miss some of those.

[@sigfigronath]

Tbf the depth is actually decent, Thats the second 11 btw, we will never actually play a second 11, but mix up a few players every now and then. But with just 1-2 injuries... then yea depth is an issue.

[@timato234]

Shame martinelli has been dross for a while now

[@innercircle341]

Yes, in isolation it's not a bad deal. But it's not what Arsenal needs to raise the ceiling and go to the next level. Currently, the squad is too shallow to compete on 4 fronts. We've seen that in the last 3 seasons in fact. No cup runs, failure to secure 4th, then inability to get across the line due to injury and last year, early exits from cups and UCL run compromised the PL run-in. None of Merino, Calafiori or Sterling raise the ceiling. They might raise the floor a bit. But Arsenal need to add some serious firepower in the form of an elite LW who creates, scores and causes opponents to alter tactics to cope. Need a killer number 9 who puts fear into defenders and scores from nothing. Need a midfield maestro, like a Santi Cazorla type, a ball-playing genius. And the backup players need to be upgraded for greater depth and more rotation That's what Arsenal needs to go to a stratospheric level. This will never happen. They don't have the money and Arteta is wedded to this systematised football involving big, tall athletes not creative ball players. It's a system and squad designed to get top 4 on a regular basis. It is not intended to win multiple trophies. Man City has won 11 major honours in the last 5 seasons because they built a squad with the very intention of doing that. Arsenal might fall over the line at some point and win something. But it is clear that is not their primary objective. Get used to it and get used to not winning anything much in the next 10 years. And I include this proviso... even if City are docked points or relegated
