If they can do that, so can the A team. We can beat Palace if we stay focused.
I know we've had a very bumpy start to the season but I think we need to keep powering on and do our best.
But I genuinely think that this season we need to focus on the competitions as this is what will build a winning resilience in the team.
Getting to a final and winning is the best medicine if we want to win the biggest trophies (EPL and CL) and get that winning IP built into the team. Winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup should be on our radar this season.
Good to see Jesus have a great game. Hopefully he will get decent minutes too. Sterling played well too. Should have scored a goal. Made one great incisive pass that wasn't finished properly. he even made a key defensive play at one point. BOTH Jesus and Sterling need minutes to get back close to the former selves. They're older players so they need minutes to get their rhythm. Our top starters clearly can't do it night in and night out so they need a rest. And need to heal and not continuously be overplayed to the point of breaking. Arteta needs to rotate better. He will break Partey soon enough if he is forever played at RB. Trust Lewis-Kelly!! This allows Timber to play at his best position RB. if Arteta would play Nwaneri, Jesus and Sterling more then Saka, Odegaard and Havertz would be fresher and more productive when they get their minutes.
He could play ONCE a week rotating with Kiwior who was great last year when given a string of games. MLS can do this until either of Zinny, Tomiyasu or Calafiori get back
5 years look truth be told he's a bit lucky to still be in the job first 2 and a bit seasons he could have got the Emery treatment but in hindsight it was probably just as well he wasn't cause he did turn it around. But he's very close now to latter Wenger territory where his decision making, stubbornness and rigidness is costing him. Wenger very stubborn in the transfer market never addressing needs and Arteta is the same. If I see another keeper or defender signing (you will in the summer) over an attacker imma lose it. Also like Wenger very rigid tactically. Whereas Wenger was gung-ho and shit defensively tets is defensive and shit offensively.
Arteta has fixed nothing, he massively failed for his first 18 months and should have been fired but instead the Kroenkes launched their third "project" in past fifteen years and got rid of all our players instead of the novice coach.
Arteta is a proper DEI hire, zero expectations and he just all about the vibes.
For fucks sake stay off Elons Twitter, it’s a dangerous place for impressionable dumbfucks. Only use X like I do, just to DM Ciro and Mystic’s mothers when I want them to meet me in a public bathroom.
I'd say about 95% of that post was bollox. Third project? Got rid of shite players. DEI hire? Look buddy touch grass once in a while and limit your time on the Internet for your own sake.
Arteta was supposedly pushing for splashing decent money on Joan Gracia of Espanyol. It wasn't until Edu decided to stop that nonsense and get an actual backup GK.
Why do you go for a 23 yo GK, who's good enough to be the main GK of a club in a big league, when you've just bought Raya? And for £20m? When you've got holes to fill in your team? It's hard to defend the thought process behind it.
True to be honest. "Incredible" is way over the top for lifting 1 FA Cup.
Yes, I like that we're back among the best teams in Europe, but at the end of the day, it's a results business.
For Kroenke Enterprises, they might be happy with the recent influx of money due to Arsenal qualifying to the CL again.
But for us, fans, in the 5 years as a whole, the football has not been an eye candy. And just 1 FA Cup to show for it? It's not enough to be classified as "incredible".
I wish Winner was one of the words they could chose to describe Arteta instead of Commitment or Passion. And in what way is Arteta accountable, he stays employed with Arsenal whether he wins anything or not.
Osimhen being in Turkey says nothing about his level by the way. Turkish league is probably on par or better than Portuguese league and we are all wanting Gyokores eh?
He's absolutely beasting Turkey and seems in a hurry to leave if you ask me. Get that man at Arsenal ASAP
Yea that will be the dream signing for me as well, tall, good in the air and very mobile as well, misses a fair few but he'll guarantee you at least 20 goals a season.
Another aspect of his game that seems to always be overlooked is he's a hard worker as well plus being great in the air fits well with our High profile set pieces
It's very rare that Arsenal sign obvious players to plug obvious holes though. Only time I can remember off the top of my head is when we signed Auba. He was ready made and gave us trophy. Osimhen will do the same. But club (Arteta) is more likely to sign Sesko or another wannabe striker.
Martin Odegaard looks like he was allowed to sleep in the spare room for a few days after his less than beautiful performance against Everton. He looked sharp. His range finder looked recalibrated. He made a massive difference when he came on.
😂 😂 Thats so true Pedro
We’ve got a new born and the spare room is too close to my room so Im actually choosing to sleep on the sofa bed but yeah, I can’t function at work if I’m in my own bed atm
Just sitting here imagining what an Osimhen in our team will do to defenders in this league If Jesus can be this frightening with a bit of sustained fast paced attacking play.
Release clause was 105m. But still fire and very available, now at a very affordable 65m if you believe the papers. My dream striker signing. Can absolutely do it all, is at a prime age and will come with winning mentality
Since they all failed to do it (Arteta not signing a natural #9 and all the attacking players failing to get the title winning goals), GJ has decided to come back and take his thing.
MG42, put you in the sin bin for a week so you can think about how you conduct yourself daily on an Arsenal blog.
It's very boring.
Look, we demolished Palace with the B team.
If they can do that, so can the A team. We can beat Palace if we stay focused.
I know we've had a very bumpy start to the season but I think we need to keep powering on and do our best.
But I genuinely think that this season we need to focus on the competitions as this is what will build a winning resilience in the team.

Can’t wait till tomorrow because in the end it’s all about this amazing club and the privilege to be a fan of the greatest club in the world

Whilst I agree with many of your points, I suspect it's a bit too early in MLS's career to start him 2/3 times in a week.
He could play ONCE a week rotating with Kiwior who was great last year when given a string of games. MLS can do this until either of Zinny, Tomiyasu or Calafiori get back
Anything less than a win vs CP is unacceptable
The dot com sez-- Rice and Califiori are cleared to play tomorrow.
Apparently Zinchencko too.
Considering calafiori is made of glass I think no need to rush him back. Play MLS and let Calafiori take a few extra days, or even the whole week off
5 years look truth be told he's a bit lucky to still be in the job first 2 and a bit seasons he could have got the Emery treatment but in hindsight it was probably just as well he wasn't cause he did turn it around.

Right. Never mind the forward areas. Let’s emerge from a messy situation of having two top goalkeepers and immediately repeat it instead
@Arsenal
Commitment. Accountability. Passion.
Five incredible years of Mikel Arteta - here's to many more memorable moments ❤️
___________________________________________________
While I'm grateful, we need to win trophies to make his time be remembered for more than Arsenal being second best.
"Five incredible years"
This level of propaganda is only rivalled by Le Grove and third world communist dictatorships.
True to be honest. "Incredible" is way over the top for lifting 1 FA Cup.

Arteta/Arsenal need trophies and swiftly.
I wish Winner was one of the words they could chose to describe Arteta instead of Commitment or Passion. And in what way is Arteta accountable, he stays employed with Arsenal whether he wins anything or not.

We have 12 games in the next 36 days !!
Our non injured players are:
Tros, Gabi, Kai, Jesus, Saka, Sterling
6 for 3 positions, ideal for rotation
Ode, Ethan
2 for 1. Tricky rotation given how raw Ethan is. Fabio will be missed !
Merino, Jorg, Partey, Rice
If Partey stays fit, ideal for rotation and 2 for every position
Skelly, Kiwor, Gabi, Saliba, Timber, Tierney
(White, Tomi, Chenko, Calafori injured)
We’re fucked here !
Raya, Neto
Very weak position here.
Basically, we should be selling Chenko, Kiwor, Tierney, and Tomi by the summer window. Means we can probably buy someone in Jan.
If we don’t, then and we’ll lose more players to injury, we’ll be accused of being unlucky.
Osimhen being in Turkey says nothing about his level by the way. Turkish league is probably on par or better than Portuguese league and we are all wanting Gyokores eh?
He's absolutely beasting Turkey and seems in a hurry to leave if you ask me. Get that man at Arsenal ASAP

Maybe the only striker obtainable, that could be a good fit in our pressing schemes as well.

Nice one
Congrats Don!
Just sitting here imagining what an Osimhen in our team will do to defenders in this league If Jesus can be this frightening with a bit of sustained fast paced attacking play.
Nothing
He’s Turkish league level now
You don’t come back from that
Jesus came from the dead
Is there a reason why everyone stopped talking about Osimhen?
He was supposedly fire for years and is entirely available
Release clause was 105m. But still fire and very available, now at a very affordable 65m if you believe the papers. My dream striker signing. Can absolutely do it all, is at a prime age and will come with winning mentality
Since they all failed to do it (Arteta not signing a natural #9 and all the attacking players failing to get the title winning goals), GJ has decided to come back and take his thing.
Good luck Gabi.
Not too fussed about who we got... didn't matter to me.. Let's just go ahead and win this thing.
Newcastle it is. And we have to play them at home first.
Dear lord, this was a hilarious game.
Was fun. It was the two retards fighting meme. I don't mind who we get from here. We have to win it.
