Pep uses 4 CBs for back four.
Arteta uses 3 CBs + 1 DM for back four.
Last game it didn’t worked, but much better in this game.

Partey left his right side too much last game causing odegaard to drop more to cover the right side, so odegaard can’t play his game to create a goal, but they both adapted in this game.

Next season we will see Caicedo in this Partey’s inverted RB role.
And Declan Rice in Xhaka’s position.

We will be unstoppable 😭😭😭

Probably as xhaka’s replacement.
I think Rice will play as DM or Xhaka’s position depending on whether we get Caicedo or Havertz.

People are saying that he is best at 10 / SS.

Arsenal’s fixtures before & after Champions League group stage matches:

Everton A
Champions League matchday #1
Tottenham H

Bournemouth A
Champions League matchday #2
Manchester City H

Chelsea A
Champions League matchday #3
Sheffield United H

Newcastle A
Champions League matchday #4
Burnley H

Brentford A
Champions League matchday #5
Wolves H

Aston Villa A
Champions League matchday #6
Brighton H


We need a better squad depth for these fixtures.
Kai Havertz as Odegaard’s backup is good.

😭😭😭😭
He is good but not the player to bring arsenal to the next level.
Might as well let xhaka stay.
Liverpool/Chelsea/Totnum not in CL, this is big time for Arsenal to get top players.

sebab player prefer stay dekat london kot.

Pepe on Arteta -

“People say that he identified me as a player that wasn’t up to the level in his team, in his philosophy. It’s completely false. When he arrived, he had (Manchester) City’s philosophy. He had a squad that was filled with quality and backups in every position."

" When he spoke to me, he said he counted on me, he wanted me to do this or that, and you have to focus on that. He improved me in every way. He spoke to me the whole time, I watched videos with his assistants all the time. He really believed in me. He said I had incredible potential, so we need to extract that potential,”

"At the end of the first season, he spoke with me and told me to do this or that. The second season comes along, I was a substitute. I was going mad. How could I be a substitute when he said he counted on me? Everything is spinning in your head. I was a substitute for [what felt like] 10 matches.

"It was at the time when they signed Willian. He is a number 10 or a winger. But he plays on the wing for like 11 or 12 matches in a row. My head turned, knowing that I had spoken with the coach and it wasn’t like that.”

“But that improved in the sense that he gave me a chance, I scored against Sheffield United at the Emirates. The confidence started to come back. I started to speak better, but it was a bit cold. I started to speak to agents, but we didn’t see each other like before. But it improved. It’s not true that he labelled me. Not true at all. He helped me in every way, on a tactical level, in terms of game intelligence because his philosophy requires a lot of intelligence. He knew my style of play wasn’t waiting in possession, it was cutting inside, it wasn’t waiting out on the right."

" Before, I was a bit freer. I had to wait in my zone, and I wasn’t like that before. These are parts of my game that he tried to improve. He always wanted to help me with all of that"

Man city wanted to pay 90m.

Other than him being top player.
He is home grown, captain, professional and never injured.

*forgot to add with EPL experience

Hopefully we dont sell Partey.
Partey sometimes drop in performance like towards the end of last season.
But having partey and rice would be unstoppable.
