Arsenal waltzed to a 4-2 victory over Ipswich, and Max Dowman absolutely stole the show with two stunning goals, alongside one from Noni Madueke and a fourth from Mikel Merino.The touch, control, feather feet, technique and arrogance to skip past men and score at 16 is something you can’t teach. But, Arsenal have a player who also works for the team, forces turnovers and plays effectively with his back to goal; Max Dowman defies the laws of football.In this video, Adam Keys looks at what made Max's performance so special and why his off the bal0:00 Max Dowman: a special young talent0:31 Arsenal’s win at Ipswich1:02 Arteta’s trust in Max Dowman2:04 Arsenal’s fast start and first goal4:25 Max’s physicality, power and confidence5:27 Carries through midfield and the second goal7:06 Max’s off-ball work and pressing8:43 Zubimendi, Madueke and the wider team performance10:35 Marley Salmon’s composed display12:12 Miles Skelly’s development and midfield future13:23 Bruno Guimarães and the value of risk14:56 Arsenal’s principles and squad depth16:29 Why this Arsenal side looks so dangerous17:31 Final thoughts and player praiseFollow us on Twitter/X:https://x.com/adamkeys https://x.com/arsenaltherapy Instragram:https://www.instagram.com/_adamkeys_/Watch football anywhere in the world with the help of Nord VPN:https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=128564&url_id=902#arsenal #maxdowman #dowman #carabaocup #arteta #madueke #merino #arsenalvsipswich

Bruno Guimarães responded to the boos with a game changing performance filled with courage in possession, leadership, street smarts and a goal to announce himself as a star at Arsenal. This is the personality Newcastle fans loved; a huge statement when the team needed it most.From countdowns on every one of our throws whilst Sunderland made an event of every one of theirs, to the continuous fouls overlooked, justice was served in the end. This is a monumental win straight after Napoli away, and another example of why #Arsenal are champions.

Martin Ødegaard was the heartbeat of our Arsenal performance in Naples, proving we can dismantle a deep low block away from home. Winning in a hostile stadium against a disciplined low block is the ultimate test of maturity for this side. It was arguably one of the best displays of the season, showing real composure when the crowd was against us and the space was non-existent. Martin Ødegaard orchestrated the tempo perfectly, consistently finding pockets of space that forced the opposition out of their shape. When we combine that level of technical control with our defensive solidity, it creates a blueprint for how we should approach these difficult European nights. It was a masterclass in football tactics that highlights why this group is ready to compete at the highest level. Give me your thoughts - how impressed were you with the control we showed against a low block?

Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard ran the show as Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates. Kai now has five in his last six Arsenal starts, with three of those coming against PSG, City and Chelsea. From the goal, to the dummy for Ødegaard and the constant outball for David Raya to hit, this was a complete forward’s performance. Never underestimate his importance to this team. Last season, #Arsenal weren’t ruthless enough when we played in form teams around us in the table. Against Chelsea, we showed that we can mix it in attack with the most hyped attacking side in the league, whilst restricting them to very little at the other end. The maturity of champions. In this video, Adam Keys looks at the importantance of Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard to Arsenal's ceiling and why they were critical to the team's success against Chelsea.

Not adding in attack means Eberechi Eze has become one of #Arsenal’s most important attackers. We saw his quality against Villa, and despite big contributions last season, there is huge untapped potential in his game, and it’s on him to grab his opportunity. He has the talent.In this video, Adam Keys looks at how Mikel Arteta can work with the group he has, with a focus on how Eberechi Eze and Christos Tzolis can work together on the left hand side, and how Martin Ødegaard, Bruno Guimarães and Bukayo Saka can feed into the impact of the left hand side.Pairing will be key on this side, with the club failing to land an elite, game changing attacker, and Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie will play very important roles in optimising the conditions of those in front of them, but ultimately, this comes down to how Mikel Arteta's coaching will elevate the team, rather than individuals.Follow us on Twitter/X:https://x.com/adamkeys https://x.com/arsenaltherapy Instragram:https://www.instagram.com/_adamkeys_/Watch football anywhere in the world with the help of Nord VPN:https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=128564&url_id=902#arsenal #afc #arsenalvsastonvilla #villavsarsenal #arsast #premierleague #odegaard #havertz #saka #arteta #footballtactics #footballnews #footballhighlights

Arsenal strolled to a composed, professional 1-0 at Villa Park, with a Bukayo Saka winner, and never looked like conceding.There’s 10 goals a season in and around the six yard box for Bukayo Saka, and he’s now got two in two. These are the kind of goals that will take him to the next level, and make him one of the world’s most decisive players. Saka's impact was matched by the arrived of our new Brazilian, who showed the blueprint that Mikel Arteta is looking to create at Arsenal. The speed that Bruno Guimarães releases fast, incisive vertical passes is impossible to defend. Having this quality in an Arsenal team that repeatedly creates space through high turnovers will lead to a lot of goals, and it will challenge the efficiency of our attackers. Alongside that, David Raya kept his 50th Premier League clean sheet for Arsenal in 109 appearances; a remarkable record. He had few saves to make, but he absorbed pressure by claiming corners with ease, sweeping up at the back, and remaining calm when Abraham tried to bully him. World class.With so many games this season, Arsenal will need a variety of ways to play and this feels like the one we've been craving, but also one that is reliant on talent.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have the freedom and swagger of champions; the handbrake has come off and we are scoring open play goals again.But, how have Arsenal created that freedom? In this video, Adam Keys looks at how Arsenal have become more willing to lose possession and play with less control to generate turnovers and make attacking sequences more efficient, the use of our fullbacks and our central progression.With so many games this season, Arsenal will need a variety of ways to play and this feels like the one we've been craving, but also one that is reliant on talent.

Champions Arsenal began their Premier League title defence with a comfortable home win over Coventry City. In 23/24, #Arsenal’s best football came from Saka, Ødegaard and Havertz operating closely. We scored goals and swept teams away for fun. For the first time in two years, they are fit and firing at the same time; tonight was a reminder that this is as important as any signing. In this video, Adam Keys looks at what made this victory so comprehensive and why it was a throwback to the Arsenal of old, and why Mikel Arteta's words before the Community Shield ring so strong when you look at our playing style.

Spending £51m on the experience, leadership and ready made ball playing, defensive qualities of Ezri Konsa is what big clubs do. #Arsenal have two elite players out, two injury prone defenders and play 60+ games per season. This isn’t two months of protection; it’s 3-4 years.Ezri Konsa is an experienced leader, who topped the Premier League for ground duels won last season and can play with calmness under pressure. This signing isn’t eye catching, but Arsenal need to protect Saliba and Timber long term, and he can do both.In this video, Adam Keys breaks down why this is such an important signing, and why following the signing of Bruno Guimaraes, Mikel Arteta is behaving like Sir ALex Ferguson.Follow us on Twitter/X:https://x.com/adamkeys https://x.com/arsenaltherapy Instragram:https://www.instagram.com/_adamkeys_/Watch football anywhere in the world with the help of Nord VPN:https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=128564&url_id=902#konsa #saliba #avfc #arteta #arsenal #ezrikonsa #afc

The goal showed his class, but it was the bite in Martin Ødegaard’s performance that shone. Winning duels, riding challenges and leading by example. That tenacity is what made #Arsenal such an attacking force from 2022-24, and he looks like he’s fighting to rediscover that form.In this video, Adam Keys looks at Arsenal midfield trio of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Bruno G and most importantly, Martin Ødegaard. What made the skipper's performance so special? Why did he excel with such vigour, and is he back to his best?Arteta spoke after the Community Shield on Martin Odegaard saying: "I sensed from the first day he joined [for pre-season training] that he has something else in the belly that he wants to prove and show."Tell me - is he back?Follow us on Twitter/X:https://x.com/adamkeys https://x.com/arsenaltherapy Instragram:https://www.instagram.com/_adamkeys_/Watch football anywhere in the world with the help of Nord VPN:https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=128564&url_id=902

Bruno Guimarães is better than 99% of midfield targets on the market, and he massively improves #Arsenal’s bite, build up and creativity. This is the signing you make when you’re on top, and want to build a dynasty; this is exactly the kind of signing Sir Alex made for years.He can cover for Declan Rice, but he has a different skillset which could also be paired with Myles and Zubimendi depending on the game. His arrival will massively improve Arsenal's build up and chance creation; Viktor Gyökeres could feast.Bruno Guimarães is of huge value to Newcastle, and after big sales, they do not want to lose their captain. For Arsenal, this is a plug and play ceiling raiser, and if a £5m overpay on our valuation allows us to protect Declan Rice, it’s worth it. Arsenal need big game players who show their personality against City, Liverpool, PSG, Bayern, and Europe’s elite. Bruno Guimarães thrives in these settings, and we will not get a more ready made ceiling raiser this window. This is a ruthless signing.In this video, I break down why this is such a level raiser for Arsenal, and bring my insights of watching Bruno at St James' Park, The Emirates and in the Newcastle away end during some tough trips to the North East for Arsenal.#brunogumaraes #arteta #afc #premierleague #transfernews #transferwindow #footballscouting Follow us on Twitter/X:https://x.com/adamkeys https://x.com/arsenaltherapy Instragram:https://www.instagram.com/_adamkeys_/Watch football anywhere in the world with the help of Nord VPN:https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=128564&url_id=902

There is no part of Max Dowman’s game that suggests he’s 16. The carrying power, aided by his trailing arm to separate himself from defenders, and the speed at which he releases to pass and shoot, screams of the profiles #Arsenal want to add. This is unique game breaking talent.Against Girona, Max showed the ease of a senior player as he scored and assisted Kai Havertz, but it was his all round display that truly caught the eye. Yes, there are areas to improve on, but he's 16, and ready for his breakout season, much like Lemine Yamal has in 23/24. He is firmly a first team player, and with Saka, Madueke and Eze weeks away from joining training, he has a real opportunity to build important pre season minutes. To be in that position at 16 for the champions is insane; he's going to be a special impact this season.

For the first time in two decades, Arsenal has reached a Champions League final, a stark contrast to the "chaos" and "apathy" that defined the club when Mikel Arteta initially took charge. This achievement highlights the significant progress made under his leadership, especially for all the ardent gooners. It's a testament to the team's resilience and renewed ambition in premier league football. In this video, Adam Keys talks about the joy and what this means for our football club, what Mikel did and highlights Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and many others who have taken us on this beautiful journey.
