Mikel Arteta is depicted as a complex, intense deep thinker with some very interesting man-management tactics in the new Amazon documentary series.
We are given a closer look at some of the younger players in the dressing room, such as Emile Smith Rowe.
The series takes a behind the scenes look at the campaign. It was a dramatic season for the Gunners, who started the year with three straight losses and then went on to finish fourth in the league.
There are a lot of things to unpack. The first three episodes of the series are released today.
The sixth and seventh episodes are released on Thursday, 11 August.
The mind and methods of Arteta, the youngest manager in the English top flight, will be of interest to many fans.
The impression we get from this series is of a person who is very smart. Granit Xhaka called him a freak in the first episode.
The series of managers who want to bring a personal touch made us think.
Arteta doesn't want players to be treated as numbers. They are not animals.
He uses a number of unique methods to motivate his team.
It involves getting his players to hold hands.
Arteta likes diagrams too. Ahead of a match against bitter rivals, the 40-year-old Spaniard sketches out cartoons of a heart, brain, and a fan with the word "energy" connecting them all
Some viewers may be skeptical, but they were wrong to think that Spurs wouldn't win the game.
Arteta said that if you win the game you don't win the game. The players listened to it. They made jokes. They didn't think it would help.
Arteta addresses his squad before a match in the first episode of the show. They haven't scored in their last three games.
A personal story about a heart condition he suffered as a child is how the boss tries to lift his spirits.
He told his players that they made the best week of his career.
There is a diagram showing his emotional states over the course of the week.
They got their first win of the season againstNorwich.
He asked Stuart MacFarlane to deliver a speech.
The goalkeeper said that Arteta's team talks are different. I think he keeps it fresh because sometimes he is writing, sometimes he is talking and sometimes he doesn't. It allows you to be a part of his life as well. He is the most personable manager I have had.
When Arteta makes his players train to the soundtrack of You'll Never Walk Alone in order to prepare for a match, they lose by four goals.
Ramsdale had never heard of the speakers. I don't think they will come back. We all knew what the method was.
The strategies of Arteta are fascinating to watch.
Ramsdale, who was 23, signed for more than £24m fromSheffield United.
The young player was one of the big successes of the season and made his senior England debut.
Ramsdale said it was hard at the beginning. I had a lot of negative things said about the signing on the internet. There were threats saying "we know where you live" Trying to frighten me
He stopped using his social media to block out the bad vibes.
Ramsdale wants people to understand how hard it is to be a football player.
He said that it was one of the best jobs in the world but also one of the worst.
He is a loud character in the dressing room and committed to success.
In the third episode of the show, Arsenal just beat Villa. Ramsdale is angry because they conceded in the last 10 minutes.
He said that it cost him the clean sheet.
In the same episode, he berates the whole dressing room after a loss, saying the performance was "naive".
Ramsdale said his standards are high. The best teams stay on top of their game for 96 minutes. I'm not egotistical. I felt like we needed to defend as a team on that day and other days.
There are a lot of people who are popular among the fans of the club.
The former Celtic left-back who spent a lot of last season out injured came across as incredibly down to earth. He has a chocolate habit and marvels at the amount of money being paid to Martin Odegard.
In the third episode, Tierney talks about his upbringing in Motherwell, Scotland.
You had to work for it if you wanted it. She worked as a dinner lady and a cleaner. She was up in the morning.
He revealed that his mother was worried that he would become more of a celebrity than a football player when he moved to the capital. While living in Scotland with his friend and live-in chef Johnny, he found it difficult to adjust.
He told the film-makers that he was having a hard time. I had a lot of time to ponder.
Two of his friends have taken their own lives, and he understands a bit about depression.
He says that he knows how it feels to be in a certain place, so he tries to help.
