The Emirates Talk

Too many times this season, Arteta has only taken off Zubimendi after we’ve already conceded a costly goal. It feels more like damage control than a proactive move to win the game. The frequency of it is worrying. Why not make the change before it's too late?

Six points clear!. In a title race, 4 seasons in a row. And a real chance to win it with a win on Sunday. That’s an incredible level of consistency. However, you look at it. We’re chasing something we haven’t done in 25yrs, no one said it would be easy. Support this team.

Unpopular opinion, but against City we should go with a single DM and start both Eze and Ødegaard (Max if he’s not fit) to address our creativity issues. Zubimendi - Ødegaard - Eze. Rice - Ødegaard - Eze. Let's do it against Sporting first...

Man City, last three games: Arsenal 0–2 City City 4–0 Liverpool Chelsea 0–3 City This is what champions do, they dismantle the very teams tipped to stop them. And honestly, we’ve been lucky they started the season sleeping because right now, they look absolutely relentless.

There were genuinely Spurs fans who said they’d rather see their team relegated than watch Arsenal win the league. Sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish on your rivals because they, too, have God they turn to for protection.

In three days, we’ve got a massive CL night at the Emirates. As Arsenal fans on Twitter, it’s time to lock in, expect a stronger performance and a better result than the first leg. And remember, most of the noise is coming from fans whose clubs are battling just to make the top five. We’re chasing titles. Stay focused. Don’t shake.

For three seasons, I was heavily critical of Arteta, you can go back and see it in my tweets. I genuinely believed he was the main reason we weren’t winning trophies. This season, though, I won’t single him out. Too many big players have fallen short when it mattered most, when they were needed to step up and take control of key moments. Great players elevate good managers into elite ones. Great managers elevate good players into world-class ones. But to truly dominate, you need both. I think Mikel has more than played his part this season. His identity and approach, maybe not always pretty but clear, have taken us to a Carabao final, an FA Cup quarter-final, one foot in the CL semi-finals, and top of the league. Now it’s on the players to rise, show bravery, deliver quality in decisive moments, and turn this into something special. The opportunity to win the league and the CL is right there. This isn’t just on Arteta. It’s on the players, too.

I'm glad Liverpool are having a horrendous season and that Man City are a shadow of their former selves. There's no doubt Arsenal are still the favourites to win the league, and maybe even go on to win it. Otherwise, in-form City or Liverpool would have made it look easy.

I tweeted this 4 days ago, and some of you came at me hard, insults from every direction. I know my club well, and the truth is, we're not in a great place right now. We're easy to hurt and beat. But I still believe we can turn it around and fight to save our league title.

Harsh reality is that the team desperately needs a major overhaul in attack. As much as I want all our attackers to succeed, the truth is that none of them are at the superstar level required to deliver trophies for Arsenal. Injuries and fitness issues have caught up with most of them. This season has clearly shown that you can’t rely on any of them consistently.

Bournemouth haven't played a single match in 22 days, by the way. We're facing a well rested team, yet we're still pretty competitive. I'm pleased with that.

Couldn't have picked a better line-up myself. I'm pretty sure Lewis-Skelly will join Rice and Zubimendi most of the time in possession, while Havertz also moves closer to the box (SS). Front four of Madueke, Havertz, Gyökeres and Martinelli, i expect at least 3 goals..

@SomaliaNGooner1 Absolutely 💯

Today could be an important day for us in the PL title if we do our job and get the three points.

Hypothetically, Arsenal are both PL and CL champions. Why does it feel like only one player (Rice) would make the top 10 in the Ballon d'Or?

My ranking of LW options for Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window, order from the best to the least preferred: - Kvaratskhelia - Barcola - Leão - Kenan Yıldız - Gordon I have a few other shouts in mind, but I don't think any of them offer more than Martinelli.

- West Ham 0 Bournemouth 0. - Bournemouth 1 Sunderland 1. - Bournemouth 0 Brentford 0. - Burnley 0 Bournemouth 0. - Bournemouth 2 Man United 2. Bournemouth might be unbeaten, but they're not exactly winning games either. Clearly a side that's beatable by our standards.

If anything, us beating Atleti in the league phase will only give them even more motivation to beat us if we meet them in the semis, just like PSG last season. I won’t take them for granted if they qualify. Still, there’s another 90 minutes to play, so it’s far from over.

Julian Alvarez is an exceptional footballer, the type you always want in your team because he makes everyone around him better. That said, if you're looking for a pure goal-getter, he's probably not your guy. He's more in the mould of a Firmino or Müller.

@SomaliaNGooner1 Yes, they're.
