Arteta on Sky: “I think I mentioned that we wanted a squad with two quality players in each position with different characteristics, we’ve got that now. To maximise that, they have to play games, we have a lot of games coming up now. It’s the same with other players that we have rotated, they will get a lot of game time in the next few games.” https://twitter.com/afcstuff/status/1703427378834288677
It’s interesting; I think this means we’ll prioritise going long, but then why drop Havertz?
It’d be hard to argue that player performances get rewarded and continue with Havertz/without Vieira. Maybe him being subbed on during the match will give him more space to execute his instructions?
That I agree with. Sounds like he’ll be subbed on later, probably with Jesus?
And yeah, I assumed that he would keep the Havertz-Jesus duo together.
Mikel Arteta on starting Vieira over Havertz: “We always try to put the best possible team to start the game & then we have the ‘finisher’, that as you can see in every game, they are making a huge impact & we believe that today was better to start that way & we have a nice balance in the team.” https://twitter.com/afcstuff/status/1703428050166096229
Honestly, I’m worried that Vieira is better as a super sub and that they’ll adapt to him and negate him if he starts. But that’s just paranoia, and in the end he deserves the chance. I mean Trossard got to start and it didn’t work at all, Fabio should get to try as well.
