The Arsenal




🚨The days after the 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth were probably the worst of the campaign, all the more so because it was before that huge trip to Manchester City that had been weighing over the team for months; the great nemesis that had to be overcome. A growing problem at that point was not just psychological, though. It was physical. Arsenal’s players looked and felt exhausted. That was partly because of the schedule, but also Arteta’s own training demands. The Basque’s response to any setback was to work even harder on the training ground. It was an ethic that could be construed as admirable in other circumstances, but not with finely tuned athletes. The effects could be seen in the injury crises endured every April. So, Eberechi Eze, one of the newer players who was also among the most laid-back, went up to his boss. In so many words, he told Arteta, we can do this, but we need a bit of space. The manager listened. Days off were increased. The intensity of training sessions was lightened. In the week before they claimed the title, he gave them three days off followed by a barbecue. It all worked out. [@MiguelDelaney]



didn’t think i could hate arsenal more but here we are








🗣️ Paul Merson: “Eberechi Eze has to play every game, him, Martin Ødegaard & Bukayo Saka. There’s a saying, ‘when it ain’t going too well, go back to your best players’. They will produce. That might be one of the most important goals of his career.” 🤯




Eberechi Eze has answered Mikel Arteta's call! He stands as an example to the squad, unifying the group as The Gunners must give everything or win nothing! Expect to see plenty of the summer signing after "wowing" Arteta over the past month. football.london/arsenal-fc/new…
