Hey people, Deluded, I'm back again. Arsenal are top of the Champions League Group B
at this moment in time. We battered Sevilla, they had one shot which came in the second half and one
on target. Total domination and it's finally lovely to get our first victory in any competition this
month. Big up Trosser and Bakayo Saka, they were dangerous yesterday, much less was everybody
really. Everyone was quality. Big up Jorginho for slicing through the Sevilla defence. Shout out to
Saka and all Trosser had to do was a tap in. I also have to hail up Benjamin White and actually
Declan Rice in the build up to this and it's so good I have to show it twice. Look at Havertz,
look at Trosser, rewind the video and go look at everybody's movements people. And then Saka
went one better people and sent my man's shot and then obviously slotted home and they said Saka
wasn't in form. We've got some real star boys. Speaking of star boys, Martinelli, the Brazilian
sensation. That fullback is going to hate Martinelli, he is going to slander him, he's probably
going to make a burner account. Martinelli didn't give him an inch. When you look at what Martinelli
has said and Bakayo Saka about Mikel Arteta banging on the point about getting them in a game
like this to take their men on, it's no coincidence both of them played with a lot of viciousness in
a nice way. And I do think one thing I do like about the champs in comparison to the Premier
League, it seems like, you know, in the prem, they double up against Bakayo Saka and Martinelli.
They didn't do such in this game, which was obviously to their detriment. And it's no surprise
how good Saka and Martinelli looked. And it's lovely to see how good they can be. Lovely to
see how good they're playing in the Champions League and what we've been doing so far.
Lovely that they've signed new deals. I think the only thing Martinelli was missing was end
side. He was arguably man of the match. You know, Saka did get a goal and assist Martinelli.
Unfortunate to probably not get more goals and assists. A big up to him for setting up Saka.
He really is a Brazilian Duracell battery. He, like I said, he terrorized that fullback. No way
that that fullback's hamstring is intact. He's going to that absolutely hate Martinelli's guts.
And that's what I want to see on a regular basis and a big up Martinelli for this sweeping move
as well. It's a great pass to Saka. Saka had a lot to do and he slotted home. I love to see the
front three, man. It's lovely to see Saka's on the score sheet. Martinelli obviously got an assist
and obviously Trossart got kicked off proceedings and got the first goal. All quality players,
all quality output. And it's lovely to actually see Jorginho and Declan Rice to a slight degree
in an attacking sense. I also even think these look all better than Havertz, but I think Havertz
was decent in the game, people. No defender has been dribbled past more times in a Champions League
game this season than Mr. Sanchez in the first half against Arsenal. But Kyle Saka has assisted
all of Trossart's goals to date. Where you look at Martinelli, Trossart, Declan Rice and Saka,
I think we're brewing something special. If you look at what I did from a tactical point of view,
now Sevilla didn't set up probably how we thought. They got a derby match on the weekend.
Now, you know, in the same way, Eddie and Keita at times has looked good in an Arsenal team. I
don't think Trossart is the be-all and end-all as a false nine. I still think he's a winger,
but I think at times we've got to ride the wave. With Trossart,
we have interchanging movement. He can swap with Martinelli. He can swap with obviously Havertz.
Havertz can go and be a focal point and win the header and Trossart can get onto the second ball.
You actually saw in the build-up to the first goal, which you're going to see on screen,
actually, you know, Trossart making a similar sort of run to Havertz. Havertz probably could
have scored if Trossart didn't beat him to it and make that darting run. And it's obviously,
at this moment in time, you know our build-up play. You know Declan Rice was playing as that
left-sided eight. You know Jorginho was the sixth. You know Havertz was pulling out wide while doing
a bit of a hybrid Odegaard role. You know Benjamin White at times becomes a centre-back as well as a
full-back. The same being said for Gabriel over there. You know Tomiasu inverts. You know Raya
can go long to Havertz, which wasn't the case, but there is that sort of scope if Havertz and
Trossart are both in the team. And you know Saliba's just the bodyguard, the security guard.
You know he does what he wants and bosses it all. But we'll get on to that. Again, I think for now
we need to ride this wave of interchanging movement. I do think Martinelli, Trossart
and Saka, they work a bit better than Eddie and Ketya because they've all got a bit more about
them technically. The confidence I've got at the minute, you know, whether I'm playing as a six,
whether I'm playing as an eight. You know I want to do the best I can for the team and
you know there's so much more I can still add. It's been a good start and yeah it's going to be
a long season ahead as well. So I'm looking forward to it still. That's a question I'm
going to ask you Declan. We've not met so I'm really pleased to see you at our football club
because you've done a fantastic job in that midfield. You look like a six like all day
long for me but you surprised me with playing as an eight. How well you play, your pace that
you're showing, how creative you are. We know about the tackles, the interceptions. What position
are you most comfortable in playing in that midfield? To be honest I think my best position
is probably six. That's where I probably feel most comfortable. As an eight I do get a bit
excited to dribble with the ball. Obviously when I'm playing there it's my job to try and create
but that's not my biggest strength. My biggest strength is like what you said, breaking up the
play. Taking the ball from deep, trying to dictate. But every time Mikel says you're playing
eight I do get excited because I get to run into the box and I get to run with the ball.
I get to show that other side of my game which is really good.
Big up Declan Rice man. Arteta also managed to praise Kai Havertz. I don't think Havertz was
amazing but he was decent. Shout out to Saliba man. There's no words, there's nothing I can say
that does Saliba justice. The man's a Rolls Royce, the man's a colossal defender. A bit like
Declan Rice. I'm not shocked by their level of consistency but they're playing great week in
week out. In particular regardless of Arsenal's result. The sky's the limit for Saliba. He needs
to keep going. I'm sure Mikel Arteta doesn't think he's the finished article but he's amazing.
Mikel Arteta also spoke on Saka being fouled. Saka had a great game as you lot know against
Sevilla and we hope him and Tomi Asu there's no seriousness with the injuries. We only need one
more point to advance to the last 16 following beating Sevilla people. Our record at the Emirates
is near enough faultless people. We've only conceded six. So yeah man, nice to finally
win in November. I know certain Manchester clubs couldn't say that. They're not topping their group.
I think they're rock bottom. Big up Eric Ten excuses. Still making excuses. You couldn't beat
a beer yesterday in the champs. For Arsenal fans we should be excited.
So with everything in this short video let me know your thoughts on Declan Rice as a six or an eight
as we saw. Let me know your thoughts on Saliba. How do you feel about the front three of Trossart,
Saka and Martinelli and indirectly how Havertz ties into it. Declan Rice as Jorginho. Let me
know your thoughts. For now the attention turns towards Burnley. Join me for a watch along in that.

Big up you lot tuned in because by now you've made it to the end of the video. Now I always
preach. We live in a day and age where obviously anytime there's a football game the individuals
make the difference. But it's all about systems and I don't think unless you're Manchester City,
historically Real Madrid or Pep Guardiola side, I think all managers need to have their philosophy,
their core way of doing things. But they need more tools in their toolbox and I think at times
we've needed that as well. Gabriel Jesus, if it is our first choice striker, but we'd all probably
like someone that can get more goals or give us something different. So you've got them two.
I do think there's scope for Eddie Nketiah to play games and he might not be, you know,
anything to necessarily write home about respectfully, but he's shown he can do a job.
Equally, I don't think Trossart playing as a false nine is the long-term answer,
but the man is both footed. He's very intelligent. He can play across the front
four and there's times for it. And I think right now this is the time for it. Definitely against
Burnley. I know Burnley, the connotations that are historically with Burnley, but the company
don't really play that. I just like the understanding, the interchanging movements
between Trossart and Martinelli. How indirectly, you know, one thing I'll give Havertz, how Havertz
offers a focal point and certain runs he makes off the ball. Again, I don't think they'll get
as much space as they did in the Champions League on Saturday, but Saka and Martinelli,
when they have space, when they're not doubled up against, when other people are pulling
the opposition numbers away from them to open up space, there's something there.
Declan Rice is clearly at home as a six, but he's developing as an eight and it's getting
greater and greater. And I, you know, obviously whatever Arteta demands of him in that role,
you're not going to lock it down in a couple of months. He's only been at the club a couple of
months. Feels like he's been here forever to go with his consistency and his talismanic figure
and obviously ability. We're happy to have Declan Rice. I think next season is when you
Obviously it's lovely to win. It's lovely to, you know, more or less be tying up the
Champions League group stage. Hopefully we can top the group. We only need a point,
you know, but we need to stay, take it through to the next game and still do what we're doing
and make sure we confirm that. It's nice to get a win this month, you know, following our defeats
to Newcastle United and West Ham United, it was a bit flat and hopefully we can beat Burnley and
go into the international break in good stead. I think Havertz was decent yesterday and I think
I stressed decent and the bar is on the floor, decent game, some sort of consistency
with the last three games we've played. But it is, and I definitely think he should have scored
a header in that game. And I definitely thought he was a bit unlucky with his effort from range.
I want to see a bit of that confidence, but at the same time, it's another game where,
you know, if I look at those players, you know, it's not that Havertz was bad, but you look at
Trossart, minimum a seven to a 10 in terms of a player rating, depending on where you are.
The same goes for Saka, the same goes for Martinelli, who obviously, you know, all three of
them were higher, but I'm just saying as a minimum, you know, Declan Rice bossed it, you know, he
won't get praised for it, but he's nicked the ball off Flamena. And then I think somehow it's been
recycled between, somehow it's with Benjamin White, he's found Jorginho. I think them two other
midfielders were great to me, but didn't have too much to do, but bossed it really. It's another
one where I'm looking at Havertz, could you be, can you get to that level that they're at in your
own sort of way? So yeah, man, I'm happy about the performance. I'm happy about the potential for
the front three of Trossart, Saka and Martinelli, at least for a point, because I think, you know
what, we all know the strikers are quite isolated at Arsenal Football Club. Can you really catch a
moving target? If everybody's moving around consistently, if the understanding between
these players, you know, when to play one-twos, when to knock it round the corner, you know,
ballers can play with ballers. So I think this is the season to kind of test this. Of course,
we hope Gabriel Jesus and any other player in any position is soon back to full fitness sooner
rather than later, but that's the only extended points I wanted to make, man, really. And make
sure you're terrorising your Manchester United supporting friends in the WhatsApp group chats
and on social media, because I know I am. Like, comment, subscribe, let me know your thoughts.
Stay safe, stay blessed. It's always a pleasure being tuned in with you lot. Don't forget,
people, on Saturday we're playing Burnley. I'll be doing a watch-along live from 2pm an hour before kick-off.
