Gomez really has done well since coming back in but I have always liked him and thought he deserved a run. I have always thought Saka to be one of the most overrated players in the prem and Gomez did a lot to help maintain my view ?.

Bradley came in on right and superb too. Martinelli can be a tricky player but his positioning, pace, concentration, energy looked accomplished and solid throughout.

Arsenal most definitely need a striker!

Hasn't Arteta spent enough money?

Metro, I agree with you on Gomez. He has always been a very good player BUT the injuries have taken away part of his physicality and esp. a yard and a half of pace cos I remember him being able to stay with Leroy Sane and Adam Traore step for step in a foot race back in the day. That said, he is a very solid defender and Im so happy he is doing so well and his versatility has been a huge place.

As for Saka, I love him to bits BUT I don't think he is overrated. I think he is super tired and is struggling physically cos the yard of burst he had is gone. Why? IMO, Arteta has mismanaged him (an Martinelli) as they play WAY too much footie as young players. Arteta has NO cover for either so they have to play every game and that is ruining them, IMO.

As for Arteta and a striker, they had a striker in Folaring Balogin scoring for fun last season at Reims in the French League. It was Arteta who binned him off in fav. of two strikers in Jesus and Nketiah who are NOT in Balogun's league goalscoring-wise. That's on him and no one else, IMO.

It’s great to see Gomez having a very good season so far.

Gomez is playing really well at left back.

Questions need to be asked of Arteta, awful manager with lack of tactical ability to be able to change a game.

Brummyred, you could level near everything bad happening on the pitch at Arsenal at Arteta. Incompetent and supremely arrogant without the cache to boot, a Brendan Rodgers regen in my book.

An awful manager who has managed to get Arsenal thereabouts in the challenge for the Premiership in the last few seasons.
