Arteta has changed our lives fr💯

Regarding his performance against Everton last season, Does he deserve to start today, given Saka’s injury?

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.

Any changes Lads?

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?
