Next Best Arsenal Manager

 Next Best Arsenal Manager

Arsenal have truly had one of the worst falls from grace. A club that once used to be a regular top 4 competitor is now struggling to get into a European spot. Mikel Arteta, current manager, has had a questionable season and a half. His job isn’t under scrutiny currently but his time is running out. Arsenal should consider this candidate as their best option to have a shot at returning to their Glory days.



Graham Potter ( Brighton )

Graham Potter has caught the eye of the media in recent times due to how his side Brighton & Hove Albion play. His team is known for underperforming xG massively, creating tons of chances, and also setting up very well defensively.


Defensively: Graham Potter is usually known for his attacking football but his defensive methods often go unnoticed. This season only Man City (25.7) and Chelsea (27.9) have conceded fewer quality chances than Brighton (33.2). For a team that sits 17th in the table, they have only conceded 41 goals. Comparing to other sides, they have conceded lesser goals than Leicester City (3rd), West Ham (5th), and Everton (9th). For a club the size of Brighton, this achievement is quite the big one and Potter should be credited for this.


Even though Arsenal have conceded 3 lesser goals than Brighton, Graham Potter surely could do a better job with the players and financial backing of a club the size of Arsenal.


Offensively: Brighton play quite entertaining football and create tons of chances but his side misses a lot of them. Now you can credit Potter for his side’s chances created due to his system, but can’t blame the poor finishing on him. If he had the likes of Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre – Emerick Aubameyang, and Bulayo Saka, his side would’ve had scored much more. Arsenal attackers ( these 3 ) have a combined output of 36 goals scored in one of their worst seasons ever. Compare this to Brighton’s top contributors Neil Maupay, Leandro Trossard, and Pascal Groẞ who have a combined of 31 goal contributions.



His side is also known for their massive underperforming xG differential potential p90 of +0.45. This ranks them 5th in the Premier League, ahead of Leicester, Tottenham, and West Ham.



Next Best Arsenal Manager: Verdict

Arsenal should definitely approach him and start the talks as soon as possible. He is rumored to have caught the eye of their rivals Spurs and Arsenal shouldn’t waste any time. He is clearly the man who can pull Arsenal out of their current crisis. If he is given the financial backing and support from the management, Arsenal could return to their elite days. He could finally be the true replacement of Arséne Wenger

  Mount or Foden : Which star shines brightest? Mason Mount or Phil Foden? This debate has been one of the most popular ones when talking about young English talents. Both the youngsters have had brilliant seasons, where Foden won the PL title and Carabao Cup whereas Mount won the Champions League. Even though the youngsters play in similar positions, their roles in the team aren’t exactly the same. Today, we will come to a verdict on which youngster is better. Mason Mount : Chelsea’s Finest Mason Mount has been one of the best and most consistent performers in this Chelsea side for the past two years. He has bagged a total of 11 goals and 7 assists for Chelsea across all competitions this season. This also includes a crucial assist in the Champions League final against Manchester City. Not to forget, he also scored a crucial freekick in the last gameweek in 19/20 to secure Champions League football for Chelsea. Offensively, Mason Mount averaged 2 SpG ( shots per game ), 2.1 key pa...

Sensible Transfers : Barcelona

Sensible Transfers : Barcelona The Spanish giants have been on the decline for quite a while now, atleast by their sextuple standards and the roar that the MSN trio created in the spanish and champions league. They are facing problems off the field as well, being in debt of approximately a billion euros. They no longer look the same threat they used to and have recently been embarrassed at Camp Nou by Paris Saint Germain where the match ended 4-1 to the French. They really need to bring their spark back and here are a few areas where they need to work on to get back to winning ways. The Speedy Defender. Barcelona miserably failed to play a highline against PSG and even though their tactics may have been right, they didn't have the pace in their defenders to pull it off. Gerard Pique is well past his prime and Barca need a young and pacy centre back in order to play their high line. Even though they will have Todibo returning from loan, they still need another centeral defender to s...

Worthy or Not? Arsenal edition

Worthy or Not? Arsenal Edition In this series, we’ll be rating some of the most solid transfer rumours for each club. The players will be rated on their performances, their price tags and how well they would settle into the club’s system. Today the club being discussed would be Arsenal, let’s see if the targets are worthy or not! Worthy or Not? 1) Ben White : Brighton & Hove Albion Arsenal are rumoured to be paying 50 million Euros for The 23-year-old English centre half. He has played 36 games this season for the Seagulls and has been quite impressive. He averages 11.54 pressures per 90, 1.58 tackles, 1.27 interceptions, 1.95 blocks, 2.2 clearances and 1.47 aerials won per 90. As Brighton do compete in the same league, and White made the cut of the Euro 2020 squad, his evaluation seems to be higher than his quality. And for a club like Arsenal, splashing 50 million on a centre back may not be the best move. Rating : 7/10 (Not Worthy) 2) Manuel Locatelli : Sassuolo Arsenal have lau...
