They will lose
The right player for the right system playing for the right manager. Arteta wanted Mudryk because he had the nuclear codes for Mudryk. He would have been a purchase for the future. In Trossard, Arteta also had nuke codes but the player is more ready to contribute now.
What is arteta gonna do? You cant drop saka, jesus is back and scoring and martinelli is in great form while trossard has been fabulous. What a tough decision
What ppl dont seem to get is it doesnt balance out until end cos of fixtures. I actually think it's about lvl between the 2 when you look at games city have already played
Subbed players are awesome, especially when their team is losing. Say Arsenal is behind a point, but then after Trossard is subbed in, Arsenal starts winning.
When you look at Gareth Bale's most recent game and championship in MSL, he got most of the glory after scoring the clutch winner, even though he only played like 10 minutes.
missing out on Mudryk was the ultimate blessing in disguise
Trossard is so versatile , if needed can also fill for Xhaxa. City wont beat Arsenal, if not an Arsenal win at least a draw and its done by between 4-8 points.
Trossard has crazy stats, on the bench or starting he has been massively involved in the team’s title charge
If Arsenal win against Pool we will win the league. People forget when we lost to City – we had more possession and chances. Without Partey and Jesus. If we win this week – we will win all till City game and then, I am surely expecting points there.
Trossard’s work rate OFF the ball is what makes him indispensable.
I'm happy that as an Arsenal fan, we start to confused about who are gonna start, who doesn't, who are the player of the match or even months. That's telling you that right now, Arsenal has a really really good depth, that even players on the bench is as good or even better than on starting lineup.
Siti wil drop poyents in frst anadar game. Trast me
The guy in the striped shirt is a hater…city obviously has the harder run because they aren’t flying as high as they usually….the arsenal HATE is real 😂😂😂😂
You don't really know we got the smith Rowe's back even Nelson arsenal guys now have team spirit and now everyone know if you don't train well you don't play this time last year martelleni was on the bench watching smith Rowe and saka and was one of not our best player last year's 😢😂
It's pretty simple for the manager. Martinelli is more effective against high lines, Trossard is more effective against low blocks. He's an excellent recruit for the kind of situations Arsenal come against.
I dont know what they are on tross had been a starter , he makes the team more fluid and brings out the best in martinelli , its going to be hard for jesus to relclaim an automatic starting spot
Chelsea did us a favor; got Trossard, Gorginho & Kwiwor with that quid. They thought they came out with a big steal but our singing's been performing way better. Money well spent! 🤙
highly tactical game on the cards here, hope arteta gets it right
people still underestimating arsenal, Let them keep doing it, we will be waiting at the end of the season to dish it out for thinking city are the favourites even when arsenal are 8 points clear.
One ex-Arsenal player comes to mind. One of the most underrated players of the Wenger era – Sylvain Wiltord. Plays across the front three, impact player whether he played the full 90 or off the bench. Game winner
Exactly, Trossard plays differently from the other players. He provides a different option.
Arsenal will win 6 or 7 Arsenal are on fire this season
I can’t wait to see a player like Trossard in the UCL next season. He totally deserves to show his talent to the world
I was amazed on how much of an impact Trossard has made. G.Jesus and Trossard paired up was brilliant!
Trossard is becoming one of my favorite players.
Think City will lose CL game rather than PL, its what they do. But City have only ever won last 10 once. Everyone talking as though they do that every year. City probably slight favourites as Newcastle away could actually be most difficult game once again. They are back on form and fight for top 4.
it is a tough call if you are asking for first three to start
l will pick Jesus, Troussard and saka.
Versatility is key for this arsenal team
Saka and Trossard doesnt play on the same side lady, Trossard is a Left sided winger he is in competition with Martinelli. Please get some fans on here that actually know our club please
The moment they changed to 5 subs, the game has changed. It won’t be that long before you see 4 “one half” players on bigger teams who are tasked to give their 100% per half and let the next man up take over with another 100% in the second half.
Aside from the killer skillset leo has , the fact that hes prem ready , is one of the reasons hes been making an impact for us ,
Trossard hasn't been better than Jesus
Trossad is indeed not a Sub player,he is the vital key to Arsenal winning
Arsenal has 3 draws and 3 losses in the PL and Man City has 4 draws and 4 losses. Arsenal has the more difficult fixtures coming up and it only takes 1 draw or loss before they play Man City and their advantage is gone.
Wow! I know it's been said, but I just needed to say: Mudryk or Trossard? TROSSARD ALL DAY!!! Great job, Arsenal!! For once the "transfer luck" was on our side! Remember the disappointment of not getting the Chelsea signer?.No problem! GO GUNNERS!!
