Winning establishes the story, because Arteta develops the cube of Rubik d’Arsenal – Suburban Gooners

I had a dream last night that we played Burnley, we beat them 2-0 and in injury time, when Bukayo Saka fell and we were arguing for a penalty in time. The referee agitated him, but was then called to the instructor, to see that the second goal we scored struck Saka’s hand before scoring him. This second goal had occurred approximately 20 minutes earlier and that a lot of time had been sold that Var could certainly not remind you for an exam? Well, apparently they can and even Sky Sports commentators could not believe it. It was the injury time, Saka’s goal was discouraged, he sent Saka – who also perplexed the commentators, then he gave a penalty to Burnley – who duly scored and we abandoned points.

These kinds of things only happen to Arsenal.

Shit to the right.

Of course, part of this dream had to be influenced by the fact that the Scousers obtained another late winner yesterday, which means that each of their games so far this season has resulted in a goal after the 80th minute. It is frustrating for us, but if we are looking for the positive points, they have not been convincing in all their games so far and a weekend during which we were very impressive, the hope must be that they continue to remain unconvincing, because you cannot go all season as they did against Burnley and rely on the late winners.

But there is something else that I think my subconscious was trying to tell me: the winners have established the story. I have to give accessories to Clive Palmer of the Podcast Arsenal Vision on this subject, because I listened to one of their pods the other day and he was talking about the Liverpool match. He said that the two teams were quite equal, Liverpool had a wonderful goal, but because they already have the trophy in their office, they can define the story as “ This is what winners do when they get late equalizers.

It’s true to be fair. There are two seasons, we obtained a late winner against Bournemouth at home, we were told that Arsenal was “too emotional” in a team. This same label was not applied to Liverpool, which sufficiently delivered the same against the same opposition and nevertheless received a story of “This is what the champions do”.

Winning allows you to define the story. Even if the media account is lazy and incorrect.

This is what Arsenal and Arteta are fighting. We are against a media account which, until we win, will see us a target against which to face. And as fans of arsenal, I think we, all of us, must probably try to drown it. If you spend so much time focusing on what others think, you become a paranoid wreck. Focus on what Arsenal do and enjoy when we lose well and things go in our direction. This weekend, he came an excellent; We won 3-0, we have had our new signatures, we have delivered an impressive performance and we have players like Madueke who are exciting and in good shape. What is there not to like right now?

There will undoubtedly be a press conference this evening at one point, while Artata and his team will go to the Basque Country to face Bilbao tomorrow evening. We will obtain an update of him on the availability of the players and I suspect that we will have confirmation that there was again out with a recurrence of this shoulder injury he suffered during the Leeds match. I mean, honestly, you might become more unlucky than getting clumsily in the same place in the two weeks. I think a bit like the Saliba situation, we just have to make him sit this one tomorrow and give a look at Etan. He may prefer Merino to Nwaneri tomorrow if it happens, but the most important thing for everyone is that I tell you about our depth options this season. No saka, but in A unheelke, we have someone, even Arteta says, pushes to take the Saka slit permanently. It will not happen, Saka will come back, but not to start to start now and I suspect that even if Saka is back for the city game – which I think we all hope – that Noni should keep his place if he continues to deliver in games as he did in the last three.

No Saliba tomorrow? No problem! As with Malueke, Mosquera has entered and was brilliant and for 14 million pounds sterling, you must ask yourself how the devil we were able to price this child from Valence without any other team sniffing him around him so noisy. He was a rock in the back and while I think you have gave a Saliba for City, if I am in place of Arteta, I probably think that I will give a look at some of these guys of rotation. Myle was only done as a submarine on Saturday, so that he can play, you have an impressive Hincapie that has not yet started, Declan Rice has missed her second game in shape since 2024 so that he can enter, so he must be considered now too. The depth we have is crazy. Can you imagine coming back in time and telling yourself that Artata was going to turn into and get out of rice?

I think this move on Saturday was also revealing. It was a positive message – for the whole team. It was Arteta who said that there are no sacred cows with regard to the departure XI. On the past times, we would all know that some players will always start. We could name them; Raya, Saliba, Gabriel, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Havertz. I still think Raya is still getting that, but I’m not 100% sure now, because of this weekend rice decision. If you can rice bench, you can bench anyone, right? So if Kepa was playing tomorrow night, it wouldn’t surprise me. If Hincapie started in the place of Big Gabi tomorrow, I would be surprised, but not amazed. Maybe Arta is not going with Zubimenddi and drops from rice in the six to accommodate both Ethan and a formal merino? Arsenal is like a Rubix cube this season; It seems that there are a billion combinations that Artata could opt for. And it’s fun to think.

But let’s first see what he has to say with regard to news for injuries for tomorrow. And after that, I’m back tomorrow morning for an overview of the match, so I’m going to catch you then.
