iamoyindamola: The reason I am happy for the international break is because since the efl match we looked fatigued and depleted The other reason is because of the incoming players from injuries, we are expecting 3-4 key players including Jesus If you look at the game yesterday we suffered in the attack even though our once reliable defense failed us Sunderland had 2 shots and scored both If we look at it, it's one of those days in football I want to believe our next game won't be like this how the team responds against spurs will show if we're really into this title race like we think we are.if we can get a win against spurs, then the confidence will be high against Chelsea cus more players will be available too. |

Roland17: We made only one substitution throughout that game and that came in the 82nd minute. We needed fresh legs to see us through because the entire team was exhausted. That same front 3 played only 4 days ago in the UCL.
The more I rewatched that game, the more I realized we messed up with how we finished that game, particularly with our lack of substitutions. Those boys were spent and that led to a lack of concentration.
Everyone is saying thank God for international break. The problem is, the bulk of our players will feature for their national teams, so I don’t know how much rest they get. However, we should get many players back and that should help.
I hope he goes into the Spuds fixture with a strong mentality, otherwise, we will have a difficult end to the year. we need maximum point against spurs and Chelsea. Yesterday our attacking option on the bench was two teenagers who i think that match would have been too physical for them, but norgaard should have been substituted earlier. Our defence was chaotic during the later part of the match, just like it have been in the last 2 matches before Sunderland. Zubimendi, Rice, Merino, Gabriel and Saka are they only ones I think will get more minutes in this break. If Odegaard, Gyokeres and Martinelli can be available against spurs with other first team players being available without injuries from this break, then we can have a good run again. |

mostob: I don't think there's anything he could have done with that first goal. The first goal was partly on Gabriel for ball watching. Raya even made a couple good save in the second half
Yesterday's just an unlucky day for him. i feel like if he had stayed back instead of rushing out like that, seeing that is Gabriel contesting for the ball too, maybe just maybe he would have got a hand on the ball. |

In the matches leading to this Sunderland game, you will know that something like this is eventually going to happen. It was a matter of when and not how or why. The statistics might be convincing but watching the games you will know this was going to happen. Hopefully with players coming back after the internationals, fresh legs who didn't go for the break and those that won't get more involvement, we should be able to come back to winning streak. Arteta have been on a progressive run with the number of losses we accumulate at each season end since his first full season. So looking at that, we should be able to avoid more than 5 defeats this season and then try to win as many as possible. If City wins today, we should focus on widening the gap from 4 to 9 before January. |

mostob: It's a decent lineup TBH. Harriman-Annous starting makes it somewhat weaker. Could have been Chidi-Obi. this is the first time of the xl playing together and it's against a Brighton side that is playing their strong side. If we can win, I will take it but truly, I am not optimistic. I was thinking we would throw in strong experienced players on each section. Was thinking Gabriel in defence and Merino in attack |

Can this line up win Brighton in the first half?.  |

dominique: Same way report had it that Eze has agreed to personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur and we all know how that went. Fabrizio had already announced a here we go for Forest's Morgan Gibbs White but then, the deal fell apart at the very last minute. Until pen is put to paper, no transfer deal is sealed. there was never any agreement with Eze and spurs, spurs believed the deal can go through because of their positive talks with Palace but not with Eze. In the case of Zubimendi, it was already concluded between the two teams and player himself by March, but Sociedad wanted the deal to be recorded as of May when laliga season is officially ended. |

mine3112: We need a balance in the team because Brighton can sometimes be difficult to crack down. yeah. I am just happy that we have a strong team, even our 2nd xl can start and win that match. I think Saka will start and Gabriel too. |

iamoyindamola: They tired of set piece Its now Arsenal are afraid of conceding  Abi una they fear to score, make una try score sef if e go enter
On to efl, arteta should change the team we need to see fresh legs in action especially with the knocks here and there The entire backline should be changed, For ethan not to play at all yesterday, arteta is preparing him for Wednesday, I will like to see Merino replace gyokeres in attack too. don't be surprised to see Gabriel start on Wednesday. Brighton won't be an easy game so some big players needs to start too. Gyokeres needs to be rested and be fresh against Burnley. He needs to find his epl scoring boot against Burnley. Hopefully by the end of November some of our injured players should be back cus we need all the depth we can get these festive period of playing every 3 days. This season is more like 2015 and last season where every big team was off track but we kept dropping points whenever the leaders also dropped point, but the difference now is that we are winning when they drop points. If we can be 9 or 10 points clear of the main rivals in City and Liverpool by January, it will even be more wonderful. |

dominique: There was no agreement between Zubimendi and Arsenal last year, there were talks but nothing concrete yet. Just like there were talks between players like Luis Suarez, Karim Benzema and even Kylian Mbappe but nothing came out of it. report shows that Arsenal already agreed with Sociedad before March ending and Bertha joined us on March 30th. I am not sure signing Zubimendi should be credited to Bertha. |

"For me Arsenal is the greatest club in the world, because it is the one i am with, the one I love and the one I want to help continue growing. The important thing is that this season we make Arsenal the greatest of all". Arteta No be to talk am, na to win trophies be the kuku now. A double won't be bad. |

I remember when Arteta said he had all the information about city after their players accused us of time wasting and relaying on corners, and it escalated. Turns out he have been practising the same set piece with them all along but it wasn't working. According to him, he have been practicing and giving in the set piece part of the game focus, since he was with city. For over 10 years he said. |

iamoyindamola: Not really what is that about there's this moniker that will always talk about signing Zubimendi almost every summer. I didn't know how good Zubi is untill I watch his first 2 matches in Arsenal shirt, then I said damn!!, that person that always talked about signing him knew exactly what he was talking about. I really thought it was you, cus I can't remember who that is exactly. |

iamoyindamola: That run Yes this very run he's so good bro. Even Arteta knows he's too good to be on the bench, and the chance he got he reminded everyone why he was a break out star last season. Having him and Calafiori as our lb is so refreshing. He just need to be more cautious of his tackling to avoid cards. |
