So so so many players you'd get rid of first before Ethan
Fuck off

EXCL: Arsenal are open to letting Ethan Nwaneri leave for around €55m-€60m.💰 🇩🇪🔎Borussia Dortmund are currently leading the chase, with AC Milan and Juventus also monitoring the situation closely. @Ekremkonur / @Sportsboomcom sportsboom.co.uk/football/trans…

@DaRealDonreal After we completely failed to lay a glove on Bayern 2 years ago, Arteta said we didnt have high quality individual talents in forward areas to affect big games.
Weve done literally nothing to rectify it since then.

Eze, Gyokeres and Saka all put in hall of shame performances, it was genuinely unacceptable. Trøssaard snatch and grab pushed off some very uncomfortable conversations.
TD@TTrain1ngday
That Gyokeres 0/10 went under the radar. Mavrapanos had him holding his pocket all game. Was a tough watch
English

@ZiphoAFC_333 @Tripple____M Arteta said in his press confrence calafiori was injured
English

@Tripple____M Hes not injured.
Arteta is lying because he was too proud to just accept he got it wrong and take Zubimendi back off.
English

@afc_N7k @originssaka Wait so the refs are doing such a good job of trying to fuck us over, as evidenced by no red card & no penalties all season?
English

Only reason I’m feeling dread is because of the state funded brown envelopes + Kavanagh/Darren England. Hard not to feel tin foil hat.
Connor@SomethingRibald
Got a horrible feeling about tomorrow all of a sudden
English

@Unreal7amal Maybe were just waiting for Gyok Lesnar to score against anyone in the top 7?
English

Havertz could get 5 chances, miss all 5, send us out of UCL and Arsenal fans will still put him
in XI for the next game. it’s insanity

@adamkeys_ 'Very little' is relative.
Jordan Reece (ex AFC physio) is a friend of mine, and doesnt have a lot of good to say about Artetas training/recovery/medical culture.

There are so many mistruths spoken about how Mikel Arteta and Pep Gaurdiola rotate.
The overuse of Rice (4,000 minutes) and Zubimendi (4,097 minutes) is a frustation, and it's showing, as it's been equally matched with the underuse of Norgaard and Lewis-Skelly, so options to rotate from the start or within games have been there.
Following Atletico, #Arsenal now have 13 players on more than 2,000 minutes, City also have 13. Both clubs have 10 players on more than 2,500 minutes, howeverw hen it comes to the 3,000 minute mark, Arsenal have seven and City have five, although we have played more games.
However, it's overlooked that Guehi and Semenyo have skewed their numbers, as each arrived in January and have clocked 1,240 and 1,567 minutes respectively since joining, however they have played 4,072 and 3,412 minutes respectively when you combine their minutes at Palace and Bournemouth. It's also worth noting that Semenyo has clocked 420 more minutes than Arsenal's most used attacker (Gyökeres), whilst Guehi has clocked 300 minutes more than Arsenal's most used defender (Saliba).
The assumption that Pep has ratoted more effectively than Arteta is simply not true. Both have used their squads extremely effectively, with Arsenal having 19 players on 1,000+ minutes (plus two on 990+), whilst City have 22 players.
This season, Mikel has only fielded the same team in back to back league games on two occasions, due to a mix of injuries and rotation. Whilst we there are clearly areas of improvement required with the rotation of Rice and Zubimendi, most others have been used in line with what you would expect, with the exception of Timber who has suffered due to White's injuries, like White did with Tomiyasu's injuries.
Finally, both teams cover huge distances in every game, and along with Leeds, top the running charts. As of the 28th March, Arsenal averaged 114.4km per game, whilst City averaged 115.7km per game, however both Rice and Zubimendi are in the top 10 players for distanced covered.
It's much easier to pull headline numbers, or make big statements that to actually look into the rotation and balance of work that has taken place, but this has been a huge areas of growth for Mikel Arteta this season, and it's a major reason why we have competed so strongly on three fronts.

English

@awoyemijoshua61 Ypu ever think that mayve the injuries are autetas fault?
English

Nobody gives Arteta credit for this. Nobody.
Arsenal has suffered the second most injuries of any premier league team this season.
Now let me tell you what those other clubs are doing with their injury crises.
Tottenham is currently fighting relegation. With 37 injuries, they are literally battling to stay in the top flight. That's where a bad injury record takes most clubs.
Chelsea? 31 injuries and they are still not sure of a top 10 finish. Not top 4. Not Champions League. Top 10.
Newcastle? 28 injuries and they are in the bottom half of the table.
Aston Villa? Almost bottling Europa League AND top 4 at the same time with 28 injuries.
But Arsenal — with 32 injuries — is still in the Champions League. Still pushing for a top 4 finish at minimum. Still playing meaningful football in EVERY competition.
And Arteta gets abused the most. By the media. By rival fans. And unfortunately, by some of our own.
I understand the frustration. April was brutal. We lost games we should have won. We dropped points when the league was within reach. I'm not going to pretend it didn't hurt.
But let's be honest with ourselves for one second.
Which other manager in the Premier League is doing MORE with less? Nobody can name one.
Arteta has been managing half a squad since last year and we are STILL here.
The critics don't want to acknowledge this because the narrative is already written — Arsenal choke, Arteta bottled it, the club is going backwards.
But the facts don't care about narratives.
32 injuries this season. And we didn't fall apart.
April was hard. May is going to be different.
We still have business to finish. And when this season is done, the full picture will be clear to everyone
Arteta deserves more respect than he gets.

@Wanalyst007 Player does one good tjkng in 45 games.
Dickhead makes a tweet about it.
English

@Mo_Arsenal9 Just like this season, Gyok Lesnar only scored against the bottom half teams.
Absolutely terrible player.
English

If Gyokeres is only good for the Portuguese League, why couldn't he score against Sporting in two matches? He had a hat-trick against Man City when he played for Sporting. The thing is we don't create enough for him.
It's not the players. It's the system we play where strikers don't get fed enough. You can ask for Prime Ronaldo R9 to play in this system, but he will look like Yaya Sanogo to you.
English

@Oye440 The system was never built for him, but he performed and delivered, this fans are just so ungrateful.
English

@BigBearKentlaar I bet ypuve already started drafting your "we are ahead of scedule, its all about next season" tweet you utter cunt.
English

Look, this wasn’t a pretty second half by any means.
But the way Gary Neville was going on about it, you’d think Newcastle were having shot after shot on target and David Raya was MOTM.
Newcastle had a single shot on target in the second half.
Arsenal certainly slowly trotted over the line, but it certainly wasn’t like Sky and Neville are trying to paint it to be.
English

@Daliso_Ft @BigBearKentlaar Yes, everyone that disagrees with your viewpoint is a bot.
English

@BigBearKentlaar Another bot account. Just mute them 😭😅. You are reposting them to our feeds by quoting them
English

I don’t even need to do the numbers in this, I know it’s bullshit.
You don’t win more games in a season, but become a worse team. Just impossible.
Emzel@Emzyl_
One of my real issue with Arteta is how he's made us weak at the Emirates, Arsenal were better at home under Wenger. Arteta is yet to suprass to Wenger's home record from 2017/2018. Some of the results to poor teams have been awful
