The day where it is proven that

There Can be only One … Invincibles 🏆

The original cheats of Manchester

Seeing Jackson causing all sort of problems for City’s backline just by running the channels and peeling off the centre backs. You can be a bang average striker like Jackson and still strike fear in the defenders through this play style.

Come on Arteta, i know Kai is your favourite but its time now to unleash the beast in Gyok14!

I’ve been tracking Paris Brunner since his move to Monaco, and the kid is a certified weapon. At 6'1", his back-to-goal hold-up play is incredible, he’s a lethal finisher, and his aggressive pressing perfectly mirrors what Arteta demands from a forward. The only real red flags right now are his sloppy passing retention, getting caught offside too often, and some lingering maturity/disciplinary issues.

With elite clubs circling, I feel like he has the perfect physical profile to thrive in Arsenal’s system as a dynamic focal point. Do you think Arteta could iron out his disciplinary flaws, or is his maturity too big of a risk for our dressing room?

Arteta has changed our lives fr💯

Desperate times in attack

Any changes Lads?

Very easy choice here, it has to be Gyokeres

Most Arsenal fans would agree that Saka hasn’t returned to his best form since his major hamstring injury in the 24/25 season. When the board went for Madueke, I didn’t love the move, but I could at least see the logic being an opportunity to give our main RW some rest and rotation - especially given the game burden on a player who as been essential since he was a teenager.

Saka likely knows his performances have been below par, which explains his desire to keep playing. He took only 1 week off after the World Cup before returning to preseason training. Coming into this game, he’d played 90 minutes against both Leeds and Nottingham Forest, and then started again. Now he’s out with another thigh injury. The details are unclear, but it appears to be a quad injury.

My point is that the manager and medical team have to protect the player from himself. We have a deep squad. If the plan was for Saka to start this game, the Forest match was an opportunity to rotate.

Cue Declan Rice. He’s built like a machine, but giving him no rest and never taking him off is just bad management. Arteta should know better.

Last year when some of the attacking players were out like Saka, Odegaard, the team scored a lot of set piece goals. But this year we haven't scored any set piece goals. With Saka out for 2 months and us having games like Madrid, Liverpool, City, United, Spurs, Bournemouth. We need to get our set piece goals back.

At the Emirates as we are at home to Everton...and after we drew to Bayern in Champions League, who should we start in our XI tomorrow?
