GOOD PLAY, GOALS AND A WIN?

@iamSilentNoise

As the season resumes, can we kick-start our season in this 6 pointer


I think everyone can agree the international break has come at the best moment for Arsenal and the fans alike. I feel the fans needed to clear our heads, following a rocky start to the season and somewhat uncertainty surrounding the end to the transfer window. The players and the manager desperately needed the time to re-group and focus on the tasks ahead and move on from the gloom of the start of the season. Although Mikel has been adamant that the absentees are not an excuse for the poor start, he has been firm in his responses to first team selection choices he made for the game we lost. Now with the Norwich game approaching we have players back from injury and training again, and players recovered from Covid, all of which could make for a totally different feel around the stadium come kick-off.


From the press conference before the game, the key points Arteta seemed to be leaning towards was the ability to pick the same players game after game, and building up a cohesive team, that play as a unit. I too, like many other Gooners can’t wait for the team to show signs that the work on the training pitch is paying off. I feel many fans didn’t hold too much hope for the win versus Chelsea or Man City, but the manner of the loss, and the fact that we lacked signs of togetherness and team spirit hurt the most. This game is massive in the context of our season, the narrative surrounding Arteta, and the question marks hanging over many of the players in the team.


Who will play and where? I feel many variations of the starting 11 will be going around, with many supporters happy to change the old with the new. One thing we know for certain is that Xhaka won’t feature, and Party will make his return. And possibly Tierney will start left back. Aside from that he could go either way with the team. And I feel he should stick to putting a balanced team out on the pitch rather than making the names fit into a broken system. I don’t expect to see our new right back Tomiyasu, ESR, Lacazette or Ramsdale to start but, hopefully all are options from the bench. I could be surprised here. I hope Balogun returns to the matchday squad an Martinelli keeps his spot in the team too. Most importantly I hope for goals!!!


Let’s go!
