Newcastle v Arsenal team news: Martinelli benched as White and Wilson start

His squad is rubbish conpared to the other teams ...lets not get carried away. Arteta did a good job.

He has achieved his target

Tbf Aubameyang was poor for a long time and Lacazette was performing really well, was the right option to get rid to free up some wages

Moronic comment tbh. Arsenal aren't at the level they used to be and things need time.

Arsenal had a goal for this season which Arteta comfortably met. They made some good signings & it's the best they've been as a squad in seasons. Truth be told it's injuries at the back & midfield that have cost them UCL.

We're always moaning about not giving managers time & something you've gotta respect on this occasion is the Arsenal board for actually doing that & giving them a chance.

They're a young team with not that much top experience to drag them over the line, and a good future. Overall IMO he's done a fine job.

He's done well to get them to top 5. Squad is still too young. Aubameyang wasn't interested after he signed his contract. They started playing better without him. What coach could they have got that would guarantee them top 4 this season?

Christ the worms really squirm out the woodwork at any chance to spit their vitriol. No word of Newcastles’ brilliant effort at all

He's done a good job, not a great job. He identified the divas and problems like Oezil and Aubameyang and he built a good culture in which young players can and will succeed.

Sunday it's Everton and you would do well to take a look at what happens when a club really has no plan in the transfer market, no manager backing and no distinct style of play.

Be careful what you wish for.

Don’t understand what’s happened with Lacazette, and why Aubemayang was kicked out, who was far far and away their most talented player.

The guy won the FA Cup and still has a remote chance of CL football. Can't be too critical.

2 terrible seasons under Arteta. Papered over by the fact Spurs and United were also crap this season. Spurs decided to get a decent manager in though and it's paid off.

I would go with B. Wolves with some awful defensive stats and will have loads of trouble with Diaz. Bowen seems to be doing the business against anyone and a GW38 haul would be par for the course for him.

Might do but better to rely on the reliables though, boring as that sounds. Might have team news before deadline though.

You're the next Rangnick

Dw you've still got a Trent 10 minute cameo to suffer through yet to rob you of those Ait-Nouri points

I hear you. Similar slide from me. 18k in gw 30 now 120k OR. Similar moves to you and everything I’ve touched since then has turned out horribly wrong. Mahrez on last gw fh and talking myself out of KdB c last min for his monster haul and finally getting son in this gw and captaining him really were the straws that broke the camel’s back

Looks like you need a sounding board. Glad you found it. 🙂

You've probably learned loads from the season. Apply that to next season.

Great post

Arsneal should keep in mind that Conte doesn't stick round long, and both Son/Kane are hitting their 30s.

Arsenal's squad has more time to hit their peak & this arguably is Tottenham's unless they truly manage to get good Son/Kane replacements soon (super tough job, both world class).

Other teams to worry about than just Spurs but from an outside perspective Arsneal have looked far more promising this season than so many recently.

They play some lovely attacking football when they're let. They're still young and will learn to play better in attack against teams who are more solid defenders.

I'm sorry but if u have a 4 point lead with 3 games to go and still bottle it responses are justified.nitsnnotnlikenarsenalnare close to 80 points in a very high quality top 4 race. Spurs and utd have been very average all season

You have Kulu?

Oh dear. What if by some miracle Spurs lose on Sunday and Arsenal win? Shouldn't really gloat me thinks.

Spurs fan here but that's a moronic comment. Last time we won a trophy Robbie savage was playing football

Last gameweek of the season, spend your transfers elsewhere imo unless really necessary!
That being said, no standout CS fixtures except Alisson Ederson Mendy.

Surely play Pope as Burnley fighting for lives, Newcastle less good away from home.

Tempted by Dubravka myself

Don' know, but I start Dubeavka who almosta assisted today.

golden boot son of course

Both

Son

For KDB or Mo’ golden boot Salah?

Depends on your targets. Alonso looks more safe but Sessignon looks more fun.

Sounds like he's trying to leave again.

Must think he's the bogs dollocks.

Hmm, doesn't sound great for a Salah start in GW38

What happened

Yeah courseeeee

A

But I'd probably go a different mid and captain whoever that is (KDB? Sterling? Mané?)

If he doesn’t have Kane then go for him and captain and hope for the best.

Why on Earth would you want that?

Half price Rhian Brewster

But then everyone would have them. What's the point

That’s gonna be a “no” for me, dawg

I'm playing Richarlison over Nketiah. Arsenal defence is a shambles.

Not worth it.

Depends who you are captaining. If you already have Son then just captain him.

Pickford still has a game to go

I'm on BB too with White... Bummer.
