The lesson to be learned from the Aubameyang-Arteta situation is simple, just because a player does not suit the manager's system does not mean he is a bad player.
Recognize strengths and limitations, work around them. If you can't, move on. No need for drama.
Up next: Pepe.
Arsenal fans want Partey sold so that new toy Rice has no competition & can play with no fear of getting dropped for poor performance. Then we are back to square one
That's how their mind works, they think DEPTH means 1 guaranteed starter & some bum or an 18yo child on the bench
That Rodri performance, that's exactly why I wanted Partey fit for this game. Rodri is their best player. But soon as he saw Partey he knew to curb his enthusiasm, Partey isn't afraid to break lines and he isn't so easily dispossessed
Sometimes reputation gives a small edge
Saliba being ahead of Upamecano and Konate tells you this boy will be World Class and only thing stopping him from fulfilling his potential at Arsenal is Arteta.
Good players will always blossom under competent managers who understand how to use them.
Consecutive call-ups for William Saliba (21) & Matteo Guendouzi (23) is immensely significant & establishes them as credible candidates for the World Cup - especially for Saliba, who is now clearly ahead of Dayot Upamecano (23) in the pecking order.

I once got robbed at gunpoint in a taxi. He took my phone, backpack and wallet. But for some reason he didnt shoot me when I calmly asked for my sims and atm cards
He actually let me have them. Then kicked me out in the middle of nowhere
Oddly I hope he is doing better in life
@DonreaI
He thinks Henry is one of these young humble Arsenal players we have now. He's from the INVINCIBLE era. There's nothing you can say to those Arsenal players. They did the near impossible, potential only held back by a board with no vision.
🚨 EXCL: Man City have reached agreement with Leeds to sign midfielder Kalvin Phillips. £42m + £3m — with Darko Gyabi joining

separately for £5m fixed. Clubs now in process of finalising deal for 26yo England int’l to join

We are trying to win the UCL. I dont wanna hear names like Fresneda and Simons. We already been ďown this road with Vieira and Lokonga.
This isnt an internship centre. It's a football club. Get certified goons, top class ballers. Unless we're playing around next season.
Iván Fresneda’s release clause is now available for €20m after Valladolid’s relegation, confirmed — as
@relevo
reported ✨🇪🇸
#transfers
…sources feel Fresneda could still leave for less than €20m in the summer.
Interest but NO bid from Arsenal.
Dortmund, strongly interested.
You see what England are doing with Southgate? That's exactly what Arsenal are doing with Arteta.
A manager NOBODY respects in a job he doesn't deserve because he is unqualified for it.
But it's fine, because he is young and learning on the job.
How can you meet a goalkeeping combo of Leno and Martinez, then downgrade that position to Ramsdale and Turner...and sit there demanding trust of the PRocess?
These are the issues. Sorry but No, I don't trust it. Yet to see the hype after more than 2years.
Top 4 or f*** off.
Deep down Arteta himself does not believe he can beat Pep
The lack of invention & willingness to do what is needed to hurt City lets you know he suffers from an inferiority complex vs Pep
Stuivenberg set up last season with no fear. The performance is a reflection of the coach.
Didn't Martinelli play CF for Arsenal as a teenager and scored 10goals in his 1st season?
Its easy to forget, listening to some of you it'll seem like that never happened.
I have ZERO loyalty to Mikel Arteta so I will speak my mind. No insults from the likes of positivity merchants will stop me.
You will hear hard truths, I dont care if it hurts
I just remembered we missed out on Bruno Guimaraes through the exact same tactics from Edu Gaspar...a fellow Brazillian none the less.
I never rated Edu as a technical director and to this day he has shown nothing. Arsenal buy top talent thanks to Arteta.
Useless!!!
@FabrizioRomano
Protect him like you did Saliba. Send him out on loan for a couple years to gain valuable experience and minutes.
Turned out well so...
@FlertBFA
@Larrytesan
Wenger always laughed at clubs buying a whole XI in one window. Squad harmony will be disturbed, but for Chelsea was there any harmony to begin with?
We know not all of them will work out, and by the time they figure out what works they'd be firmly planted in midtable.
@PatrickTimmons1
Balogun and Tavares are great ambassadors. Taking over from Guendouzi and Saliba. Next season maybe some good French team can take Nwaneri and Cozier-Duberry 🤷♂️, give them minutes in a top league
@FabrizioRomano
Notice the language has changed from Arsenal to "a premier league club", this better not fall through cause Edu is at his limit at this football club. If you cant even sign Brazilians what use are you to us????
Nobody with a brain believes Arteta is better than Emery as a manager. By no metric is he better.
I have to wait for phase 5 for trophies? Oh yeah...when is that exactly? Nobody knows. Snake oil salesmen, its over. Give it up with the yearly bs.
If he were an Arsenal player he'd be given away for free or sold for 4m and fans will tell you it's great business and clubs are broke, can't expect big money for a backup player who hardly plays.
Endless excuses for incompetence
Takumi Minamino will leave Liverpool this summer, plan hasn’t changed. Three clubs have opened talks to explore potential permanent move - Minamino’s gonna decide soon. 🇯🇵
#LFC
Price tag for Minamino deal will be around €17m.
@IeeSZN
Talking about no.10s and putting Joe Cole and Bruno Fernandes ahead of Mesut Ozil and Phillipe Coutinho shows you their level of ball knowledge.
Level: Gutter
I hope Raphinha won't be told to hug the touchline at Arsenal. I have zero intention to watch another flair player reduced to such haram football with little end product.
When Arsenal beat City in the FA cup we didn't need inverted fullbacks, we didn't need Jesus or Rice or Caicedo or a defensive highline, we didn't even need investment.
All we needed was desire & a willingness to play to the strengths of available players.
Arteta, WAKE UP!
@Gunnersc0m
@balogun
Not everybody gets Henry advice. Lukaku best years came when Henry coached him. Balogun needs to keep listening to the King. There's a lot to pick up.
If it came down to Saka staying vs Mikel staying you would be shocked to realize there are fans who deep down will say "Saka can fuckoff" and claim he's a mercenary.
It's a cult. Legit enemies of Arsenal.
They told the guy with the statue outside the stadium to "fuckoff" ffs.
@MoArsenal86
At this point I was a HUGE Arteta supporter. He was doing everything i wanted from an Arsenal manager. Wake the ownership up!!!
One thing you can say is, the man wants to be the best… whether you agree or not with his methods
@PatrickTimmons1
We were supposed to be adding quality, not replacing quality.
Our problem was not the 1st 11, it was the bench.
As it stands we have done NOTHING about it.
@Mb29778562
@respawnedtarga1
If Suarez didnt get sacked then you have no case against Zouma. I agree both are bad. He can get his sponsorships revoked, he can get fined to oblivion, i dont care.
But sacked? LMAO.
This Raphinha deal reminds me of the Buendia one. Let's see who Arsenal go for instead.
Today we don't care about Buendia, if Arsenal get the better player we wouldn't care about Raphinha either...
Alright Edu and Arteta, show me something.
@APresserV2
@GFFN
When we said he has been mistreated they said we are being toxic and negative.
It's almost like their love of Arteta has destroyed their ability to empathise and see the player's perspective.
He was mismanaged and worst of all he knows it. Congrats Arteta, you won 👏👏👏
@Football__Tweet
One day an Adriano regen will be born and he will hit the heights orignal Adriano couldnt.
That perfect mix of R9 and Ibra, Football deserves a sequel
That Leno deal is what happens when your technical director tells everyone he's willing to pay unwanted players to leave.
You lose every leverage from henceforth. Thank you Edu.
Newcastle are proof of what happens when you spend less time with buzzwords and pushing narrtives.
Get a proper manager who isnt learning on the job. Get proper players who arent learning new roles.
No songs, no dogs, no club-paid journalists selling you pointless propaganda.
A Marseille fan praises Nuno Tavares for playing well and a so called "positive Arsenal fan" replies with this.
We have a terrible culture of cannibalism at this club and it needs to die.
@ChrisWheatley_
Rivals need to keep talking about us. It's the fuel we need. Starting to hear Chelsea fans piping up. Yeeeeeaaah you're next on the plate! Watch this
@Pramod_AFC
@adamkeys_
The rules change based on preference (who Arteta likes).
You're still a Real Arsenal fan if you insult Pepe.
But never come at Xhaka, that makes you a hater and not a fan.
When it was Pepe, Guendouzi, Auba, Ozil, Saliba 2 years ago it was fine. Because fans could justify it by pointing at salaries and attitude, some of it being manufactured to make it okay to bundle them out.
Now it's ESR, Nelson, Tierney and they're shocked. Honestly I'm not.
@ltarsenal
74yr old Martinez answering his grand son's questions about that COPA win with Messi -
"Did I ever tell you about that time I played for Arsenal? I did? Forget Messi, let me tell you about my struggles at Arsenal"
Edu Gaspar remains the worst thing to happen to Arsenal in recent memory. Yes, even worse than employing an inexperienced Arteta.
Get a proper technical director and Arteta will be better for it. When the blind lead the blind we're all heading for a ditch.

-Wolves considering actions against São Paulo, Arsenal and the player
@brfootball
When Arsenal decided to treat every game like a cup final best believe they meant that shit.
You thought you were ready for the match but you were not ready for how important this game was to Arsenal, so hold your L Mr. Young
