I also thought he played well. I think people forget how bad Jesus is in front of goal....
Thank you
Not that easy to read Arteta but it certainly feels as though we are moving away from wanting specialist full backs. Seems he wants an inverted full back on one flank and a guy capable of shoving across to centre back on the other, making the three.
So that is Tierney ****ed. Partey is his preference for the inverted right back which means this current back four is our non Zinchenko offering. My guess is when Zinchenko is fit we revert to last season, with Gabriel back in and Saliba and White shoved across.
I dont believe any of these rumours about Gabriel leaving. That would be absurd.
He seems to be Arteta's Fellaini. Is that good or bad? You decide. I need to see him played in the Xhaka role with either Trossard or Jesus up front. I wouldn't really expect him to do much with Eddie played ahead of him. It's just not Eddie's game to hold the ball up or play defence splitting passes for on coming midfielders.

They're not going away though. There's clearly something to them. It would be mental. But Arteta does mental things every so often. Like taking key players from the squad and totally isolating them and tanking their value. See Torriea and Tierney. Tierney like Big Gab was just awarded a huge contract too before being put on gardening leave.

Similar rumours about Partey that dont seem to be going away. Again, for me, unthinkable but you never know.
That makes more sense though for all parties. Has he actually bribed your women off yet and beat the case? Even though he is a bona fide elite player if that's still hanging over him he'd be looking to go to a league where they don't frown on that sort of thing like one of the new Arab leagues.
