pool isn‘t as good as their start suggests. we are better although playing without ode, bill for sure and saka, timber probably will be very hard. however, we tend to play pragmatic in ‚big‘ games so I wouldn‘t wonder to see us parking the bus and hope martinelli constantly destroys TAA as he has down often
At full strength, I would be confident. But at this point, I am well beyond anxious about Sunday's game. I suspect that the creative talent will not be available for us. I expect an attritional approach for the first seventy minutes when as we try and put up the shutters and hope for a set piece goal or a breakaway late in the game. But the prospect of Kiwior at left back or at center half is seasonal -- it could be a horror story for Halloween!
And sorry but Arteta’s treatment of Nwaneri is just bad people management.
What motivation should the player have to his best on the pitch if he doesn’t get any reward for that? If in any case he sits on the bench, while the player who just had a stinker plays anyway. And his next cameo is for the exact same 5-10 minutes as before.
Barca trusts their academy, Arteta does not and in the 5 years he has not developed any academy players the way other clubs have. ESR bailed him out and he still didn't trust him. Arteta brought in has beens like Sterling and a boatload of failed and under performing players that are out on loan. His squad building resulted in no cover for vital positions and Arteta's squad is always 1 or 2 injuries away from disaster. It doesn't matter how well the hale enders train as they will have no chance under this manager. Slot will school him on Sunday and it hurts to see what in the 5 years has happened to my club. Always close but no cigar and 2nd best.
I am all in for people having different opinions and fans are more than welcomed to have their own view but I still want to point out that we see 5-10 minutes cameos from a player. did he impress? yeah, but I trust mikel to decide what time is right as he sees him at the training ground daily. this isn‘t just for ethan - we may never forget we see players for 90 or 180 minutes a week - our staff sees them 10 or 20 times as much.
The draw means we are 4 behind Liverpool and 5 behind City with quite tough next fixtures. Especially Chelsea away after Inter away. So we could land in an area where we can’t afford any point loss to catch up.
The problem with Arsenal recent performance is not the result in such circumstances, it’s that Arteta didn’t try the options he had available.

If Kiwior plays on the left, he will be on the left of Gabriel, I feel okay that he can do the job. He has proven to be a useful squad player.
Just don't play him on the right.
Fourth trophy? If that is still a thing......
You called it a six out of ten performance on Tuesday? See, you have only been living in the US a short time and are already into grade inflation!

I think the assumption that he deserves anything at his age might not be correct.
what do you mean?
How can you judge bad treatment if you don’t know how someone trains or where they are as a player?
