I think that we are not going to be playing in the same way this season like we did last, so new players are not replacement in positions but upgrades in the way Arteta wants to play.
I absolutely agree with that
Can only go on last season until we see what Mikel does with these players
How does it show that? Lol
Kenny Omega bout to play upfront for Palace and blow us away.
Looking forward to tonight, havenāt had a chance to see a full game yet including pre season.
Arsenal better win. Otherwise the Australian railways will become shite.
Why else play a game behind closed doors ?
LMFAO
Is there a chance for Raya to start tonight?
no
maintain/build fitness for players not starting regularly or not fully match fit to make sure they are prepared, work on new tactics, try different roles for future gamesā¦
Thatās basically what I said .
With Timberās injury and to a certain degree a stuttering second half against Forest Arteta has obviously done a bit of tinkering with players .
Love your ā79
What a celebration by Alan Sunderland
Canāt watch the game tonight cause of work. Hope we get the win and make it 2 in 2. COYG!
Rumours Gabriel wonāt be starting again⦠something tells me thereās been a fall out behind the scenes.
Might be best to not make assumptions based on ārumoursā, especially if it came from Twitter.
If he doesnāt start it means heās not the optimal player in that position against this opposition in Artetaās mind. There could be all manner of reasons for that.
Hearing Partey at RB again.
Saliba and White as CBs.
Havertz benched. Possibly even GM9.
Gabriel started 73 EPL games in a row before last week. Perhaps itās a good thing that heās being rotated so he can maintain fitness and form across the whole season.
I just hope we can resist the counter attack with our back 4ā¦
