Arsenal should be hitting this 5-0 or 6-0! | Burnley v Arsenal Preview

I guess that's right, back Charlie. People deluded, I'm back again. Come on Ian man, come on. Are we live? Of course we're live. People deluded, I'm back again. Now with it being Burnley vs Arsenal and with Rhys being a supporter of my content it makes sense. So first things first my guy. Appreciative to you. While you're a supporter of my content I can't lie, I hope you're crying come the end of Saturday's game man. But how you doing bro? Um, really well thanks. And thank you to you for having me man. It's a bit surreal to be talking to you mate. Because you're kind of my favourite YouTuber and I wouldn't have made a YouTube myself if it weren't for you. Well honestly, that is true. So it's just Rhys' footy feed which is the name that I post under in the What You Want so I come on here to watch. To be honest to say that I have a channel is true but kind of an overstatement because I haven't made any new content since like November. You got the same name as my nephew man so you're actually in a good stead man. It's spelt the exact same way man. So yeah I always knew you as a good guy man. Let me, let me... Go on, go on. So yeah again people all his information will be in the comments section and his app will be in the description so all you need to do is stop being lazy click the link give the guy some love and we keep it moving. The first thing I want to ask you with you being a Burnley fan now when people think of Burnley prior to company it's Brexit, football, Route 1, football all of that sort of stuff so like how has it gone from that to what company's done because you've done well in the championship to get out of there. So it's a bit like since two years ago we've been living in like this good pussy ball world where like everything if it was an individual's life it would be our lives have turned on our heads. Like we've gone from from semi-like our rags to riches state of affairs and sort of so we used to rely on sort of free transfers older players coming in players who've done something in the championship possibly and worked their way up and towards the end of the previous ownership it's not any exaggeration to say that we sort of went for three years without making a single first team signing and when the when the dice humour came to an end we essentially had a full overhaul of the squad when we got relegated so for me Tarkovsky Tia Rodriguez is still with us but essentially Chris Wood Paul Nathan Collins all of those left and we essentially overnight reinvented ourselves and now it's all about scouting up and coming individuals throughout Europe we've got a Brazilian who plays for Berkley I don't know what you do for Brazil but like a one million pound patino you know like very much I wish Brazilian you know one of those where you might be looking at the bad sport thinking is he really what he is yeah and it's all different yeah it couldn't be more of a turnaround so now we've gone from having the oldest starting XI in the Premier League last time to now I think on average the second youngest I think over Chelsea that's very much reflected in what we've achieved or not achieved on the pitch this season if you like in the way of the players are very likeable there's a lot of technical qualities we're progressive in what we do but for much of the season it has been a bit like without being disrespectful to the boys U7's taking on U10 yeah that's what I wanted to ask you because I think you lot I'm probably selling you lot short by saying you blew away the championship because you absolutely did you lot ran away with the championship as I said you lot were known as Brexit direct football now you're playing great you're marrying a bit of that with the quality and the technical glee as you said you've got a Brazilian and what not do you feel company is taking how he's played in the championship and gone to the Premier League while you kind of have to play your sort of identity and a manager has to stick to his beliefs do you think he's been a bit naive going into the Premier League and playing in the Vaniers an element of naivety but also an element of the personnel that we've brought in and we have at our disposal but I don't think sort of as you would say at the facilities to operate in any other way so the contrast of what we used to be very much a one ball team you know getting it forward, getting in the opposition's faces if I can swear like Go ahead man being on you know fighting and being a bastard sometimes all that is now gone and as you see what Morted have achieved and they've been able to make as I still find out the Oil Cross you know you very nearly could have lost that game and almost didn't win but nobody has been scared to come to serve more this season unfortunately I think tomorrow is our 13-4 game and we've won one and drawn two and we've only managed to beat Sheffield which says everything really I mean you said it there but in many ways beating Sheffield that's a six point we did beat them 5-0 but it was a pure anomaly you know both me and Sheffield every same minded Sheffield fan would say you know the table doesn't lie we are the two worst teams I've been kind of resigned delegation now from end of October wow you threw in the towel early man yeah well we lost like 9 out of the first 10 games you know you've got to keep hope but expectations lead to disappointments if you say to yourself we're going to come third and we might get to the quarter final you'll be surprised and pleased if it's anything above that whereas I just if I say that we're getting buried and then suddenly we can win 4 out of 5 games I can believe again you know that's what I mean you lot are looking at the table I don't want to remind you because I know you know where you are but your 19-13 points you know obviously Sheffield United you're level with points while I don't want you to win at the weekend obviously but Everton have got 19 points and you're 13 so there's a 6 point difference no confidence of staying up so there's 14 games left and typically the Premier League we might be able to survive if we got 34 points which basically means we have to win 7, we have to win half of our games from now on to realistically have hopes still on paper it's possible because we've got the likes of Bournemouth we've still got to play Sheffield Palace and Palace are on a stinking run but West Ham away they're not in the best of form either but the last time they won is when we played them at the Emirates then you've also got 6 pointers from now to the end of the season arguably against Sheffield United as you said and Everton I'm not going to lie I think you lot are relegated but I think you lot shouldn't throw in the towel just yet it's not over until it's over bro I'm a fan if I want to throw in the towel I can throw in the towel but as long as Vincent Kompany and the players are still committed to thinking as a whole then maybe they can surprise us It's come down to a sense of nice football good patches but I mean last week at Liverpool we lost 3-1 and it was I left Anfield feeling proud and I left the Etihad the week before feeling proud because I told you on here that I might need a cricket scoreboard to get into the score when we're at the Etihad so leaving both games with 3-1 defeats was creditable and especially at Anfield in the first half Liverpool were sort of were fire chicken were a bit of a shame in the first half and if we had two or three chances which we failed to take and the story of the season is having good patches in games but sort of approaching it with a real intensity and then at the first sort of sign of adversity making a mistake and then once the goals conceded losing our way sort of not got that mental resilience about us and also an element of not being able to adapt within the game I mean we went through a cycle from like August to November where like almost every game it seemed like somebody was directly an individual error was causing a direct goal all the time so like people making short passes being intercepted or like somebody giving on the ball facing their own goal and being dispossessed so easily and then the goalkeeping situation has been a real bone of contention with our fans it's similar to the situation with Ryan Ramsdale in a way so last season we had Murek in the Golden Championship so to say that he was the championship version of Edison which is absolutely no exaggeration in fact I think he assisted three goals from his one pass directly last season and he was very composed and almost horizontally calm with everything that he did and his footwork was excellent when it like always seemed allowing us to bypass the press and immediately get us on the front foot and then to attack but because he was somewhat shaky from crosses and demanding his box from set pieces Vincent Company chose to upgrade on him in the summer but he spent £19 million on James Stafford from Man City which I believe James Stafford will become on a similar level to Ramsdale or Pickford in 3 or 4 years time but you know yourself 20 years old is literally like a baby in all given terms and the man had only he'd only played first team football for Accrington in week 2 or week 1 and Bolton Wanderers in the upper side of week 1 that's his only first team football and whilst he's been excellent for them expecting a man to jump up to whole levels overnight I think it's kind of a madness to put that pressure on one man's shoulders and that urge and so as Bournemouth fans we sort of had this not war but you know a lot of exchange of opinions about Newrick yeah like I would be more on the fence of Newrick he was one of my favourite players last year and he's definitely taken something away from us and Stafford has made serial mistakes throughout the season then he had a stage from like November to New Year where he sort of he saved us some points with one performance in a way where we got a brilliant draw but that was because he impersonated Superman on the day and made about 6 blinding saves but just recently he sort of regressed again into making mistakes and I don't know if you remember about a month ago we should have beaten Wooten but Wooten was like he gets an arm in the face which we hadn't seen he comes and flaps and the ball ends up in the net and then again two mistakes, one at Liverpool last week and another at Bournemouth the week before but it's like we're two thirds of the way through the season now if you take him out the final line now it's like you're blaming him and it's not going to be that easy Well we shared the wear really I think even if we were to be winning whether we'd have the wherewithal and the game management to try and shut down the game would be another matter I don't know I don't give us any hope for tomorrow and I'll get into a prediction later on but I don't see us because for me I don't know if you agree, I don't know quite what the statistics tell us but I think defensively I think Arsenal on the whole are the most difficult team in the league to score against but put it this way I prefer your centre half pairing to any other centre half pairing in the league You said that man, I'm not going to lie I do think we have the best centre half pairing in the league and I think we've got one of the best centre half pairings in world football give or take Man City could lay claim to the partnership but you know, I know you don't give yourself any hope but as an Arsenal fan I see my team beat Liverpool Man City definitely not United because that's a given at the Emirates you've got to have faith man, you've got to have faith let's get into that then, what's your predictions because as I said anything in life and in football could happen and again, I guess we'll see next week I mean tomorrow in 24 hours but for me, if I'm looking at it rather harsh and you know, we're trying to fight for a league which is very unlikely it needs to be the same level of performance or better that we did against West Ham I need to see 5-6 or something like that and most importantly 3 points but yeah man, let us know your predictions because you can't say anything, let us know My biggest fear about tomorrow is that normally when a team gets 3 or 4 goals up there is an element of just controlling the game, not wanting to like abuse the opposition metaphorically Just taking a lot of punches and not really trying to punch back but with Arsenal against West Ham last week I thought that the 9-0 record against Southampton was in severe danger Arsenal were literally absolutely gunning for West Ham until the last 10 minutes so I worry that if we lose control of the game in the first half we'd be relying on our attitude to think let me just make the changes now because I've got football on Wednesday so I will not be surprised to see Birmingham and Arsenal 4 but I'm going to keep it conservative and say we lost 3-1 at City 3-1 to Liverpool twice so why not carry on with the theme of 3-1 defeats to the big boys I mean I don't think it'll be a walk in the park, I expect it to, I hope it can be but it can't always be like that, I think you lot have done obviously it's a results driven business and you haven't got the points but against City twice and obviously Liverpool twice as you said, you've done quite well now I know that's nothing really to help you because ultimately you would have loved a point or three but I definitely think you lot will do something and I also feel against Arsenal if I was Burnley, it's a game where yeah you lot are fighting relegation the form is woeful and you've made a lot of points but you've got to be fearless, like if you lose, it's business as usual we're not going to spend too long on Match of the Day watching Arsenal Burnley, if you win it's lit so, and this is the games that got you in the Premier League that you lot wanted to play so do you have to be fearless? If by some minor miracle we did win, I mean imagine how much of a catalyst for you know the rest of the season, it could be, and we'll get into that part of the season bro where shots happen all the pressure is on Arsenal because you know at this moment in time you've scored 16 goals in the last four games I think I can't stop and everybody thinks that Arsenal are the next best place to run for the money for the title but you know we're hopeless and a defeat to us would absolutely dent the confidence moving forward for Arsenal not that I don't foresee it happening but I'm just saying for argument's sake if it did Burnley have everything to gain Exactly, exactly and that's where I'm a bit fearful because I know internally there'll be no complacency with Arsenal and Mikel Arteta and we can't afford that, we need to earn the right to win you know to a degree, Liverpool, Crystal Palace Nottingham Forest, West Ham they're all great results but they're all irrelevant now you know we need to go on to Burnley, even if we were to smash you lot it'd be irrelevant because then we need to take that same energy to Porto and so on and so forth. My last question for you before I let you get out of here, you know when we were talking via the emails you mentioned you know how you wanted to speak on the differences in recruitment in that what Burnley have or haven't done in comparison to a Sheffield United and Newton what did you mean by that? Let us know Sort of make a team up of experienced sort of adults if you will who've got some know-how and have played in England and well we'll put it this way as you will see tomorrow we don't have a ball winning midfield you know it's all very nice That is music to my ears It's all very nice in the midfield so Ross Barclay a selfish Premier League player Andrews Thames had a long summer trial with Burnley in the summer where he played in about three of our Premier matches but then Vincent Company overbooked him and we ended up with Jacob Rommelhausen along from Borussia Dortmund who, well, he won the bench and for me it's a bit strange for someone to come from a high-profile club like Borussia Dortmund and then just give feet to somebody of that calibre who'd gone so far in the game already sort of integral to our system so long players were very key to our success in the Champions League last season like Nathan Turner who's now at Bayern Munich we all desperately wanted him and we expected to be able to sign Ian Mattson from Chelsea but that was sort of it fell through at the last embers of the summer transfer window and then he suddenly well, he didn't but Burnley were left in a situation where we thought he was going and there was no time for Plan B to be then drafted in so it's always been sort of well, charity it was injured but he's the only recogniser of what we have and then it's been a case of square painting and also I think that Wooten have been able to assemble a squad I don't think they have the talent as an individual bunch of players that Burnley do but like they're on it and they have an ethos there's a lot more synergy within that team the fans are back they're all in it together whereas Burnley we've won the championship we didn't expect to be coming up for at least two or three more years and it's almost as though we've won the lottery but the change from where we used to be to where we are now, the whole shift in identity has sort of happened overnight and sort of too quickly for us to be able to sort of bed in and grow so now what we're going to see is that most rational thinking Burnley fans, don't get me wrong some people are angry saying how can we spend £105 million on rubbish but most people are just hoping that we can get relegated that this collective group of players will go down or keep the majority of them Vincent Company has got it out of the championship in faggot fashion once can he do it again? and then I would hope that we come up again and we try and model ourselves on sort of Brentford and Fulham's sort of approach especially Brentford's to do it slowly buying from cheaper brands maybe even Brighton as well maybe not Brighton because they've come to a next level still with the stadium and the size of the platform, especially Brentford and hopefully cement ourselves in the Premier League next time around but I would say that if we don't hit the ground running sort of we're up at the top of the table within the first month or two next year then I would say people are going to be looking at Burnley Company a bit funny and god knows where we would go if he was to depart because last year we were thinking that like he could be finding himself in the shoes of taking over from Pep that's the level of courts that we thought we were dealing with but now on the evidence of what's been presented to us this year then we're not likely to have imports from us for hopefully a year or two I mean I can't lie Rhys man you almost make me not want Arsenal to win but it's not personal it's just business man you know if I had to be sad about taking three points off any team this season because of you it's definitely going to be Burnley but I'm definitely not counting on my chickens before they hatch I'm going to go against you unfortunately and pee on you pretty the bit and I have to say that as much as I love your content and I'll be here all the time because you know it's more than just a football thing with the community that you have but my sort of horse in the title race would be for Liverpool if I could choose So what it is is I go into schools a lot of the time teaching disability awareness sessions to little kids when we talk about football even in East Lancashire there's far too many little kids who say I support Man City I'm like you do realise that before you were born supporting Man City was no different than supporting Everton bring back the days of Manchester City with people like Danny Mills in their team man there was absolutely no glamour and excitement in supporting Man City I owe you money I just think that Liverpool and Amsterdam United are the big fish of English football so Liverpool have always been my guilty pleasure if you might say I hear you man let people know where we can find you again Rhys obviously all your information is going to be there but before I let you get out of it let people know where we can find you this has been great Rhys is footy feed Rhys with an apostrophe S and maybe I'll send a link to you in an email send the link and all the necessary things yeah man but I'm going to get back to making consistent content in regardless of whatever we are I'll probably go on my channel and talk about it at home when I send a shout out to us tomorrow and I go to the majority of like Birmingham serious supporter I mean Rhys may the best team win obviously when this stream ends email me all your stuff a picture of yourself so I can use it as a thumbnail something like that so I can get this video out but honestly man this has been a fantastic video with your praise for the channel at the beginning with obviously you know this channel is for footballing men and women and you clearly understand football so this has actually been a pleasure man so may the best team win may the best team win Rhys and I'm upset that we're going to take three points off you may the best team on the day win but the worst team overall I'll have a little tear for you when we take your three points my guy man but yeah people you heard what Rhys said by the time this video is out and you're obviously watching it and listening make sure you're following you're subscribing you're letting us know your thoughts on Burnley versus Arsenal and yeah man hopefully we get three points man if we draw each other in the FA Cup or the League Cup next season I'll be back again yeah man yeah man definitely and I mean I want the FA Cup I want us to win the FA Cup next year so hopefully that's how the campaign starts with a great you know victory against you lot in the what would be the third round but the first round for us really so yeah well no we'll come in in round three if it's the FA Cup but yeah we don't do that we're in week one and two coming in round one we're not that bad yet that we'll be coming in in round one Rhys take care of yourself man and we'll catch up man people hit the like button and subscribe nice one and thank you for having me I hope everybody watching this sorry for any inconvenience no don't say that Rhys man this is real life regardless of how you speak, how you look, what you say all of that sort of stuff it doesn't matter football is to everybody regardless don't say that Rhys man regardless man the majority of people are very nice and obviously you're going to get some scumbags that say nasty stuff that says a lot more about them than it would about me and you so don't ever apologise for me and you man that's your superpower that is what God made you and designed you to do man so don't ever apologise if anything you should apologise for the Liverpool comment you said man if anything really apologise for the right stuff but let me let you get out of
