The 8️⃣ corner adaptations that led to Arsenal's winner on Sunday.

Trust me... this is worth your time.

🧵 Broadly, I saw two types of corners.

1️⃣ The out/inswinger to the back post with a screen to make space there & decoy runs to drag defenders.

2️⃣ The short corner worked to the front of the box, with a screen to stop defenders getting out to defend.

How do we judge Kai Havertz at Arsenal?

It's harder than you think.

A mini-thread (w/ game footage 📺) 👇🧵 This season, we're going to hear a lot about how people aren't "convinced" by Havertz.

Let's be clear - they may have a valid point.

But I think if their concerns revolve SOLELY around his goal contributions, I urge you to delve a little deeper with them, and challenge them...

Here's my working theory as to why Man City have bid for Declan Rice - and what happens next...

I believe there are 3️⃣ key reasons...

A mini-thread 🧵👇 I think they're waiting to see our next bid then deciding their next move, as they're less desperate for the player for obvious reasons. 👇

Reportedly, they've not done the type of groundwork Arsenal have, so probably view it more as a "market opportunity" than a top priority.

But if it does get done, I am confident he can define an ERA at Arsenal 🔥

Let me explain how. 👇

A THREAD 🧵 If you're unconvinced about Havertz to Arsenal, you're in the right place.

The window has been open 1 DAY. 1. Day.

1. Xhaka literally is leaving. It's agreed. We're waiting to get a MF in before sanctioning the sale. Almost every top outlet has reported this.

If we DIDN'T get a midfielder in and were left short cos we sold him 1st, you'd complain.

So...

I watched EVERY goal Arsenal conceded in 22/23 & THIS is what I noticed... 👀

A THREAD ✍️🧵 As the window is about to open, we’re all looking to the market for answers this summer, understandably.

But before we do that, we need to know the problems we’re trying to fix in the first place 👇

A THREAD 🧵 I have a theory about Oleksandr Zinchenko.

But before I tell you it, I want to make 2 things extremely clear:

1. Oleksandr Zinchenko is an extraordinary footballer, with a very unique skillset that I love.
2. I am in no way asking Zinchenko to be dropped from the team or sold.

It’s Not Over. 👊
