Trossard has what Martinelli is sorely lacking right now: decision-making. I don't know if it's confidence or experience (or both) but man, it is very noticeable these last weeks.
even when he knows he dont have the confidence to finish clinically, he can be seen a lil bit greedy for not passing the ball to the middle when he cut inside and is blocked by 1 or 2 opponents from getting a clear shot.
Always loved watching him play when he was at Brighton, knew he would so good ar arsenal if given the game time. Arsenal fans can thank chelsea for buying Mudryk so they would end up buying Troussard instead, was a steal.
The scouting team of Arsenal made such a bad mistake to recommend Mudryk. It is so wrong. Mudryk's ball skill is so poor that he cannot be a star player. He has pure pace but any other area of his game is average.
Martinelli is not very intelligent in possession, does not scan, create chances for others. Half his goals last year were assisted by Saka when we played a faster countering style, so even then he depended on buildup on the far side. He is failing in the current system as a team player, whereas Trossard is looking amazing
@@patrick7381 its also because martinelli is more isolated on that left side than a prisoner in solitary confinement. Hes had no help and is out of form. Trossard also gets no help but he has the experience and the ability to do something with no help. They both have that ability but Martinelli just isnt in form. Anyone that thinks martinelli is bad is far too fast to forget last season.
Simple. He has excellent positional sense and timing. And can see the plays developing and anticipate opposition movements as well as the best of them...
I remember sitting with my buddy and discussing players I'd love to see at Arsenal right before the winter transfer window last season. Trossard and Rice were top of the list for me. Glad to see he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Love Trossard. Always feel that he does not get deserved credit or that his team mates pass enough to him always tends to go to Daka. Thanks for highlighting how good he is!!
Thanks a million for giving justice to Trossard (so underrated player) and proving your arguments with the solid data and his game stats . My wife’s favorite Arsenal player and no wonder I married her :) Trossard is extremely smart player , reads space perfectly , has deadly shot from both feet , and clinical finisher inside and near the box . ( people forget that it is not enough to have strong shot , but to understand when to shoot , how to position your body and aim your angle , while hiding your shot from defenders . ) >> Trossard- intelligent shooter !
Hey Adam! Really loving these videos, just the math is a bit off at 8:17. +0.24 g-xg means for every 4 games he plays, he scores one more goal than he should have based on his chances. Or similarly, 0.38xgp90 vs 0.62gp90 means for every 3 goals he should score, he scores 5.
All employers should get Anne Hathaway to do "YES, LOOVE YOU!!!" videos for their employees. The entire world economy would not be able to contain that much productivity.
It doesn't help that Martinelli is in atrocious form right now. He can't even dribble without tripping himself over. And I hope Trossard to have more touches on the ball, especially in the middle areas when we have trouble progressing the ball.
💯 agree I actually told off a comment someone made who claimed Trossard was not good enough and compared him to Reis Nelson..I always think we have a better chance of scoring when he is on the pitch..😎
he was on fire for brighton in front of goal before he joined arsenal and, for some time before that, he really looked to me like he could be a top class striker just because of the way he finishes when he gets a chance. i'm surprised given how good he looked in pre-season and whenever he came on that miki never decided to give him a run in the team as centre forward. but it seems to be working great now with havertz in there and dropping deep and wide and trossard drifting into those dangerous positions from wide. i really don't think we need to sign a striker this summer. we have so many different and good options up top.
Once again great video.However in my opinion Trossard is so better the last 3 months than Martinelli because except from important and great goals that scores helps the team to defence (he runs enough to help the LB) also has the skills to know when to pass, when to dribble and when to shot. Something that you can not easily see through the numbers!
Always rated him as a player which is why my disappointment at not getting Mudryk didn't last long when I heard we were signing Trossard. He's been an incredibly smart and an unbelievable value for money signing
Trossard's superpower is that he isn't seen or known as a threat. The sound of his name doesn't ring as loud as Saka's. And so, he doesn't get marked as tightly, thus giving him much room to enter dangerous spaces unnoticed and shoot to kill.
I was thinking the other day about how when Trossard first joined the previous January, he was getting lots of assists and touches, but almost no goals - like a classic creative player. Fast forward a year and he's a low touch clinical poacher. Its like hes been 2 totally different players - but the exact ones Arsenal needed in each of those moments.
I think it's Martinelli's goal scoring form decline more than anything else - Arteta should address that this summer. Also, looks like Arteta really values Martinellis other attributes.
We wanted Mudryk but we got Trossard. Lord, the gods were smiling on Arsenal when they intervened on that one. Wan't he the reason we even won the Community Shield over City?
So let's ask the hard question. Why was Trossard used initially only as a substitute when Arsenal's expensive 'strikers' were obviously failing to perform?
Perhaps it's less about underestimating him, specifically, but more that teams are very focused on stopping Saka and Ødegaard on the other wing, and Havertz's weird movement often distracts the defence, and then Trossard is left by himself with 3 yards of space
@@bighamster2 that's what I'm saying. He isn't on the ball as much compared to Saka, Ødegaard and Havertz so they draw players away from him so when he does get the ball he doesn't have to dribble through 3 guys and shoot, he can just shoot
Foden is younger than Trossard. And both play differently. Foden is better compared to Ødegård in this Arsenal team by play style. Trossard should be compared to Grealish as there is some resemblance in their play style.
