How Arsenal Start Winning Again & Why Mikel Merino is So Important…for everyone

As Leandro Trossard poked a William Saliba cross agonizingly wide in the last seconds of Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, it felt like another moment that slipped the Gunners by in a season marred by injury, red cards, and that notorious term, 'variance'. Mikel Arteta's men find themselves 4 points off Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, and 9 back from Arne Slot's Liverpool. So, how do Arsenal turn things around and mount a challenge for the 2024/25 Premier League title? This video will look at what Arteta can take tactically from Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal, and focus too on what a full strength Arsenal looks, and plays like.

I dive into Mikel Merino's positive cameo vs Chelsea, as well as the dynamics of Arsenal's build-up with the returning Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Thomas Partey; and how a shift in roles for Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori's imminent return from injury rejigs the dynamics.

To finish, I provide an analysis of Arsenal's current out of possession set-up, why Arteta's changes against Chelsea show the need to return to the defensive dominance of last season, and why that may not be too far away in 2024/25.

I hope you enjoy this tactical analysis, as I delve into Arteta's tactics and how Arsenal move forward after the international break, where they will be looking to put together a series of wins through the help of Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, David Raya, and many more.
