going to focus on Arsenal because what a season they've
had. They have been the story really of the season. So far,
we thought we'd just take a moment because now that they
are challenging Manchester's. Got to say, Manchester City and
Liverpool, but of course,
Liverpool struggling so far this season. Tim there are
challenging Manchester City to get to that level and sustain
it. What is the most important thing are Teton now has to do
to ensure that they're not just challenge this season. But all
the, Hard work. He's done in the last few years keeps them
up. There
it is. It's going to be his I think man motivation, right?
Because
he has me believing
that he's just incredibly experienced manager who's doing
all the right things because he's outwardly
Brash and egotistical in the best way possible. The way he
is on the touchline, the way he is, in his press conferences,
again, who he's learned from and Pep Guardiola.
So he has me believing as an outsider
that they can change.
Ones that they're meant to be there
even though I feel like it's almost a bit too soon
if he's convincing me of that that I'm certain, he's
convincing his own players of that. And I think when, when
I look at his team, the recruitment has been brilliant.
Down the down, the spine of the team,
you know, I even think of like, players like Chaka
who wants through the captain's armband down. He's now
a productive leader and it didn't think he'd say he'd be
a leader for this team and he has been, they've rectified a lot
of their issues
in an interdisciplinary area.
Keeping players on the pitch. Obviously injuries are going to
play a huge part, but I have to say,
This feels a little bit like Lester. I know it's a reach but
I played in the 2016 season and you just all you kept saying
all season was, they can't do it. They can't do it. And week
in week out. They kept getting those results.
This will go a long with last week. The north London Derby.
Great win. This will go a long way today. If they can, if they
could beat Liverpool
and let people know we are here. Yeah, that was
a statement. This would be an even bigger statement, even
though Liverpool her out of sorts o, man, management, Tim
thinks could be the thing that really keeps Arsenal.
Challenging for the next few years. Agree.
Yeah. Import
a bit more pragmatic. In what I see Rebecca
continue to build a culture at your football club so that when
people come,
they understand it, they see it, they feel it, they know it
the training, your time, keeping
you discipline your mind Management on and off the pitch.
All those things when I look at you and Co-op has been at
Liverpool for seven years. There was a steady progression
of all those things. These are called turnout. Love. Pull you
go at Liverpool. I know they're not playing particularly well
at the moment but you know what to expect every football club.
Continued to build that culture,
certainly back her. I would look at it
Miguel arteta and say
how do we get this from like, 7 or 8? Good games at what we've
seen at saw season into a Seasons body of work? It's not
about seven games. It's not about to the break. It's about
a body of work, that's 38 games.
He has to keep relevant. He has to keep current. He has to
get in a position in backer where
When each one one at halftime and we go into the the dressing
room, we don't know what he's going to say. He's going to
surprise us with something because
sometimes the
voice can get a little bit too regular. You know what's going
to come? It's possibly a thing that's happened with Brendan
Rodgers. It lasted. It gets a bit samey. One thing I'd point
to down the down the trackers. Maybe have to change your back
room, stuff, a little bit different voices, different
training, different things.
There's and finally for Metal arteta, He's got to have
the vision. What Arsenal can become the vision of what it takes
upgrades in players
big decisions on transfers maybe changing the system
changing the way they play. So some big sort of pillars for
mikkel arteta
but what I would say so far the season, we're starting to see
a progression today will give us an indication as is this
still, you know, work in progress or are they started to
make real steps to what it has taught us is that we've often
sat in the studio and talked about whether it be Arsenal, or
United
about how far away they are.
Are they years away from challenging? The top two
also will fit for a season
and they could go back top today. Are you surprised how
quickly this has happened? Yeah, that's what I said. It
almost feels too soon which is why I think there is some
skepticism and thinking
is this real can they sustain this?
But to your point he has to keep his message fresh continue
to demand his players
Vincent Kompany. Once told me about pictorial, he says just
so tiring, he demands so much of us but he knew his players.
He knew he had world-class players. Make our It has some
of that. So that's what he that certainly
needs to drive that forward. Does it, remind you a total of
the 2016 season with Lester?
I'm the magically back, you know me. But we've got a little
way to go, but if Arsenal can finish, second
can put that kind of working steady
progress of back, as sometimes it's better than a
than a boom and bust.
And at the moment, make a lot of tattoos, got his team,
right? Whether on the biggest compliment, I'll give Miguel
arteta.
We know what we're gonna get from Arsenal and we haven't
been able to say that for a long time.
As wouldn't even be very. That would be a significant jump
when it for Arsenal fans. I'm sure they do but they take it
now. They might do. Well though, let's see later cuz
they're beat Liverpool and they go top. I don't think they
would take second because that would be a major statement that
was the boot were and presented by Jack Daniels
bonded ahead of our salt against Liverpool and little
bit later on
