Spy360: Don't worry again because the problem has been Aubameyang because you can see all what I have been preaching about Gabriel Martineli blending and gelling with somebody else in the team like Saka and ESR does which was exactly what he is doing now with Lacazette as Aubameyang has always remained useless if and when he doesn't score unlike Lacazette |

Gabriel Martinelli makes Arsenal statement of maturity But a month ago you couldn’t make out where Gabriel Martinelli’s minutes were going to come from. Fast forward to mid-December and you can’t leave him out of the Arsenal team. It was a landmark evening for the Brazilian against West Ham as his inclusion in the starting lineup marked the first time he had started in four consecutive Premier League matches. He made every second of the 2-0 victory count. Like a lit match in a bank vault, he was burning through the numbers: sprinting, tackling, pressing and challenging. The fire in his belly is one money can’t buy. Under difficult circumstances, the performance from Arsenal was one of the finest seen during Mikel Arteta’s reign. Coming up against a team who would set up in an entirely different manner from the previous outing against Southampton, the intent from the side from the off demonstrated the focus. Few epitomised that quite like Martinelli. The manager has been reluctant to instill a high pressing system with more focus on counter-pressing under specific triggers, yet the approach on Wednesday was designed to be proactive instead of reactive. Fronted by Alexandre Lacazette, Martin Odegaard and Martinelli, the hunger to attack was as evident as the bit between the 20-year-old’s teeth. Your eyes are drawn to him. He sucks you in with his energy and leaves you infatuated by his presence. Arteta said it best post-match, and it perfectly summarises the improvement in how he projects his exuberance on the pitch. It’s exactly that. Previously too intent on getting his head down and his name on the scoresheet, Martinelli’s performance against the Hammers saw no drop in vitality, but saw him harness it in a more measured and mature manner. There were bending runs and constant tracking back to recover possession blended with composure in situations where he knew waiting for reinforcements could sustain pressure instead of heading straight for the jugular. The maturity aspect is crucial. That’s what he’s needed to inject into his game. While he kept his mileage up, he managed his tires like Formula One champion. You wouldn’t go as far as to say this was a coming of age display, but to be handed the chance once again even with Smith Rowe fit and to keep his place in the team as Martin Odegaard made way instead was a credit to how he conducted himself. Just like the onlooker, Arteta didn’t want him out of his gaze. So, just a month on, with Smith Rowe suffering a minor knock and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joining Nicolas Pepe in the wilderness, the opportunity that seemed beyond his reach has been cherished, nurtured and claimed as his own. You can’t drop this level of talent. Martinelli is on an effervescent trajectory in a youthful team he belongs in. 1 Like |

Arteta on Lacazette relishing being captain: "You see the way he acts with the young players, how willing he is to help. It’s in his nature. He’s not a selfish player. He’s happy when he makes the rest better, & he’s like that in the dressing room as well" #Arsenal |

Arteta: "We’ve made some progress, but there is still a lot to do and we have to be aware of that. We’ve had some bumps in the road, but we’ve learnt a lot from them and we have stuck together, from the top of the club to every member of the team and staff." |

Moyes says he has no real issue with the red card decision, says Coufal should have made better contact with the ball and not given the ref the chance to make a decision. Also says West Ham made a mess in the build up to Coufal having to make a challenge. |

Aubameyang stripped of Arsenal captaincy, dropped for game LONDON (AP) - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy on Tuesday after his latest disciplinary breach. The striker will also not be considered for selection for the English Premier League game against West Ham on Wednesday, Arsenal said. Aubameyang was left out for the game against Southampton on Saturday because of what manager Mikel Arteta described as a "disciplinary breach." Aubameyang is reported to have travelled to France during last week, with the consent of the club, but returned a day late. "We expect all our players, particularly our captain, to work to the rules and standards we have all set and agreed," Arsenal said. "We are fully focused on tomorrow´s match." Aubameyang was left out of the team for the north London derby against Tottenham in March because of a "disciplinary issue," according to Arteta at the time. |

Jodera:Tavares has come and is here to stay already except that he needs to stop his shooting at goal attempts because he has been awful in it What is favouring him over Tierney at the moment is his attack mindedness as compared to Tierney who is always fond of giving back passes when we are countering in attack going forward |

Jodera:Not surprising to me though because Odegaard needs his confidence back and this bottom placed Newcastle is the right team to feature him while Lacazette can always come in like in the 60th minutes to have a say like he always do Amen to your 3 points posture, prayer and position
