Artetaball. These are all clips of some of the brilliant football Arsenal have played under Arteta.

The way Tzolis plays just annoys me. It’s such NPC vibes. It’s like he’s been generated completely by AI. No personality about him at all, it’s just simply a body there.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@oluok1 2025 January no signings wasn’t rational at all tbf

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@tetagoon Surprised you didn’t include Havertz here, but I’m glad you didn’t

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

Nobody wanted to win at Anfield more than Arteta. I’ve never seen him so happy after a win, man has never won here as a manager until today, so I definitely can’t blame him.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

Finally won at ANFIELDDD, need that Etihad win now as well

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

How bait was it that Havertz would score at Anfield after that performance against Fleetwood, incredible goal man

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@CurranBoP How is it man management to call out some players publicly for missed chances but not others?

Martinelli also wasn’t responding well to it, so it clearly wasn’t working. And Martinelli would get pulled for stinkers as well for Trossard all the time.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@CurranBoP It is, the fact that he's never called out Kai publicly in a presser for missing chances like he's done to Martinelli should speak volumes to the favoritism in treatment. Not to mention other cases of favoritism within his team selections over the years.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

That Arteta stare down and words to Dowman after the red was nasty work. It’s different rules for certain players, wouldn’t do the same to Havertz, can’t even call him out for missing chances in pressers.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@thereloadedgun You got a stream?

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@aliftbll2 Those guys simply don't love the sport, Bayern are just simply a good team it happens

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

At least I was entertained, that’s all that matters, I was served a delicious meal this evening

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

That's absolutely class from Gyokeres fair play, phenomenal goal all round, have to applaud that, RHS Rice as well

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

The sad thing is that it was a guaranteed goal for Kane as well when he stepped to the penalty spot, because he's clocked Raya jumping early for pens. Did the same in 2024 at the Emirates, Kane knows he's always gonna bite for the stutter.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

Bro Neuer and Raya are having a save-off, I'm on my feet, this is what real football is about

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

Really goes unnoticed some of the subtle things Saka does like holding the ball under contact and being a mini outlet in that sense. Generates such good football as well.

You fully realize all of this when you lose him.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@NSftbl I did mostly the first games I played and the ones that carried me through Covid lockdown

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@tetagoon I don't think playing him CF more than he did would've meant he had to 'change everything'. Blaming him for missed chances but not anyone else is ridiculous. Like it was literally only him that got name-dropped.

[Matthew @_halfspaces]

@tetagoon All that time you were complaining about Gyokeres playing and stinking up the gaff last season, Martinelli could've been played CF.

Even then without the CF thing, we both know he should've been platformed better + blaming him for missed chances and not other players.
