Chicharito: Erling Haaland still isn't the COMPLETE striker... and that's scary.
Rio Ferdinand: "Do you think Haaland is already the complete striker?"
Chicharito:
"No.
I actually think there's still another level he can reach.
He's already one of the best in the world, but I don't think he's the finished product.
His movement is outstanding, but imagine if he started adding double movements before making his final run.
Defenders would have an even harder time reading him.
When you're blessed with incredible pace and power, you don't always need to outthink defenders.
But once you combine those physical gifts with even smarter movement, you become almost impossible to stop.
That's why I think Haaland can still improve.
He's already world class... but I genuinely believe he can become phenomenal."
It's why simplicity in the first phase is nonnegotiable for me. I train a couple of good 6s that wnt to take an extra touch or show some flair in tht area and it really kills me.
I appreciate players solving prblms on their own but abeg, body OT and good scanning fixes it alrdy
The crazy thing is that all he achieved in the first phase, almost losing possession, jorginho achieves it faster with a simple sideways pass or forward pass.
This is why 6s are less glamorous but crazy effective.
NB I'm talking about the first phase oh, I know some of you didn't have access to brighter grammar in elementary, but use Google.
Sell Calafiori, move MLS to LB.
Use the Calafiori deal to get Endrick from Real Madrid.
Sign Rogers. Get Gyokeres, Trossard, Odegaard and Ethan (loan?) out.
Sign Alex Scott & Ayyoub Bouaddi.
And suddenly Arsenal have the best attack in football.
Arsenal fans still havenβt tasted even half the level of banter Liverpool endured
30 years without a PL title, and rival fans were genuinely calling for the entire season to be cancelled while Liverpool sat 20+ points clear at the top.
pure hatred, all for the culture π

Pls next time donβt do back up artiste to diss me on a song Thank You Zlatan
Totally inaccurate, and quite a funny thing to say.
The only Premier League champions loved in the history of the Premier League is Man City and Leicester. It's because many clubs did not see them as a historical threat. Leicester, due to obvious reasons. Man City weren't any of those traditional sides.
Chelsea win and Arsenal and Spurs fans, plus their enemies in Leeds aren't happy. Manchester United win and Liverpool frown for another year, plus Arsenal become furious.
When Jose Mourinho joined Chelsea, they had the entire league against them. Sir Alex Fergusonβs Manchester United were dominant and were hated by others because they thought they controlled everywhere.
I'm not sure Arsenal want to be loved. This club is moving against the waves, and you can clearly see the power of their own tides too. Arsenal have not only become a successful club on the pitch, they have one of the strongest boardrooms in the Premier League.
Getting much love from opposition fans is a myth. It won't happen. The club sure knows it won't happen. Nobody loves a winner in football, except the rivalry in that league isn't strong enough. Arsenal haven't won because they were helped. They led the league for seven months, led in virtually every metric and have only found luck now.
In 22/23 season, they were a solid football team, in 23/24, they gave it their best, 24/25 was an aberration, and the things that cut them short were corrected ahead of the 25/26 season and they're at their rightful place.
You don't have to like them, you should not like them, but when you say the league loses value, Mr Max Red, come down from that train. Bo le n be.
βItβs Septemberβ βitβs only 5 gamesβ
Just more excuses and reasons that back my point up that Arsenal wonβt win under this manager.
Why does it matter if itβs September or May? Itβs doesnβt, cause heβd still set up the same, you can choose to ignore it all you want.
Excuses Piers. No excuses. We had the SAME hard week.
These deficiencies in Arsenal have been there to see. They'll drop more points in December. They won't be top of the league by end of Jan.
It would be City or Chelsea.
