Arsenal are getting bigger. They’re recruiting bigger and preferring taller, more athletic players. Declan Rice and Kai Havertz are both over six foot tall, and Arteta prefers to play centre-back Benjamin White at right back.
So why is Mikel Arteta doing this?
Jon Mackenzie explains.

    Havertz was pressing in a way I havent seen from Jesus or Nketiah. Not aggressive but intelligent, constantly checking his surroundings and shifting himself every few seconds. Going to be very intriguing how Arteta uses this squad.

    In 2020-2021, despite the fact that Havertz and Werner didn't score alot of goals, they were SO good at harassing the opponents, forcing mistakes, preventing attacks from even getting going. Chelsea were actually worse the next season when Werner was less consistently in the team and Havertz was worse because he didn't have as much support. I think he will shine for a strong Arsenal unit, especially if they get him back into midfield

    As a Chelsea fan just let me tell you that Havertz' movement on the pitch was NEVER the problem. If you are unlucky with how Arteta sets it all up it'll be more of the same: Havertz has a good run of games between January and March and scores about 7 goals all season. If you are lucky, however, you are in for a treat.

    Excellent video. If I remember the elite Arsenal Invincibles, that was an incredibly physically imposing team, with the likes of Vieira, Henry, Bergkamp, Campbell, Gilberto all big players. Arsenal were intimidating in the tunnel partly because of the reputation of the team, but also because of the size of many of the players. I'm happy to see a taste of this again after the recruitment this summer. In certain positions on the pitch, particularly in the premier league, being physically intimidating is important.

    Squad depth is key for CL football, and Havertz and Timber bring that experience. Will be interesting to see how Raya and Ramsdale compete.

    @@st_ates_2563 it was when Zinny was injured iirc(also why we didn't play as hard into inverting our LB). That's why pep said he learned something new bc Mikel was forced to play that style and he saw how it worked vs Liverpool and Klopp (his fiercest comp for years). Mikel had to do it partly because of injury but also because he knew Liverpool's wingers are the main problem point so we had to play much more defensively sound and had our full backs(white, who is traditionally a CB, and tomo, who can play cb) play much more defensively against guys like Salah. And were running haggard to get back and mark properly. Pep 100% took it and perfected it because he honestly a genius himself and is able to drill amazingly, but also because he has more talent(it's why he brought it Gvardiol). He found out that the only way to neutralize Salah, Saka, martinelli, and the like is to play someone much more defensively sound. So City had the perfect players for that already. Arsenal meanwhile brought in Timber to do that and also play more progressive. It's a tough role because you have to cover so much space and why Pep, and now Mikel, are prioritize depth in their back 4. They need players that can slot in at least 2 position in the back 4 to be able to constantly rotate and keep legs fresh for when they have to run around defending against the best wingers.

    Sadly, not many arsenal fans are smart enough to recognise what arteta was doing with havertz up front instead of trossard. So many of these fans were questioning arteta's decisions and trolling anyone who was talking about havertz's height advantage during the match. If only people were more intelligent...

It seems that Arsenal owners finally identified a right coach and just gave him everything he needed. Arteta coached that City team. His vision is bound to be similar.

    I think you missed the point with this title...maybe I am with you in case of Havertz but I think its temporary.... I don't see any size or physical advantage of Rice over Xhaka (both 6'1'' and same strength) ... Timber is only 1'' taller than Zinchenko (and still undersized defender 5'10'') if he needs size, he has Tomiyasu of 6'2'' ... and Man City matchup didn't show any size advantage. do you think any of those will help against Brentford? it ain't about size.

    It's not just height, The physical presence is there. Timber is a stronger profile and he bullies attackers with his strength, something that zinny can't do. Rice for xhaka is unique, rice has a way of interrupting passes before they are complete and he's faster to intercept compared to xhaka was. He's stronger and faster

    I thought this too but tbh, Jesus was our most important player at the start of last season and he wasn’t scoring and no arsenal fan really cared. It’s what he did off ball that lead to our form spike. I would have been fine if Jesus kept doing that and never scored a goal all year actually. Similarly, Havertz could end up being very valuable in his hold up play. Personally I think the perfect striker for arsenal right now is Giroud. Girouds strength is hold up play, making something out of arial crosses and offloading. When Giroud played for us we never played to these strengths but now our style needs it. Giroud is old now but Havertz can do all this.

    Aren't big 6 earning stupendous amount of money to spend? Never thought FFP were trying to regulate transfers themselves, they regulate budgets. So long as clubs can show budgets that fit their regulations they won't care how much money is spent. So when you're making huge money, they'll not intervene, FFP is there because in 2000's and 2010's, clubs were being too reckless with their money. So stop whinging about it really.
