He’s spoken about how the perception that we’re not risk taking isn’t by instruction and he wants us to be more of that ilk

My understanding is that despite being an option it will be made permanent

It’s not all justified.

I hear you but I try not to ask questions I know what he’ll say to.

He’ll say the same thing he’s been saying about Gyokeres

Afraid we have to swallow the rhetoric that's coming this week.

Arsenal, the players and the manager are worthy of criticism after that performance(s). But you're about to see the bash machine go into overdrive.

Gotta get behind 'em, get back to it. Expect a response.

Then you’ve probably replied to the wrong post.

Performance came first, then the discussion about the atmosphere.

You don't agree this Arsenal team needs the support of the crowd?

What Arsenal fans did at full-time after Man Utd loss as Arteta feelings clear Arsenal need their supporters but defeat to Manchester United unveiled a worrying situation for Mikel Arteta after boos ring out around the Emirates Stadium

Arsenal needs The Emirates more than ever.

The hope is the boos at full-time are not a sign that many aren’t ready for the challenge of a title race.

Interesting stat for you. Outside of future UCL and FAC draws, Arsenal are due to leave London just 4 more times this season.

From January 25 2025, onwards, the Gunners left London 9 times outside of UCL and FAC games.

Something quite telling that neither Viktor Gyokeres nor Benjamin Sesko start this game.

It highlights the discussion around concerns over available quality in the summer, for centre-forwards, were quite true.

Zubimendi highlights Man United transfer failures as Arsenal prepare title push Arsenal's star midfielder Martin Zubimendi has highlighted Manchester United's transfer failures as a perfect symbol of club's contrasting fortunes

FEATURE: πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ36: β€œI think the secret is in the day-to-day here!"

Martin Zubimendi has seamlessly adapted to life at Arsenal & highlighted Man United's own failures.

Alvaro Romeo tells me he's: "Up there with the best defensive midfielders in the world.”

Yeah absolutely. Hence why I made sure to differentiate by talking specifically about those melting down.

In three of the last four Premier League gameweeks, Arsenal have collected more points than Manchester City.

The gap has opened from 2 to 7 points in that time.

Is the meltdown we're seeing really reflective of the reality?
