The game against Brighton had less energy
especially in the first half. and that is why the first half looked so bad.
Laca looks much better with ESR beside him. Now it would be interesting what will Arteta do with Auba. He is not in form and Laca is better in the current system. I am afraid that he will drop Martinelli, just because of well Auba being Auba.
I heard someone say Martinelli had more shots on goal in 2 games than Willian in the whole season? That sounds a bit crazy but it could be true.
We still lack at least another midfielder. And i would probably like a box to box one to play with Partey. And Partey will be almost as a new signing because we seen him in 1-2 whole games?
Signing someone good in the first 2 weeks in January would show that the board is serious of backing up Arteta. Waiting till the 31. would be Arsenals way but really unprofessional.
Considering that Auba is on a fat contract, I suspect that he will get the nod over Lacazette. Alternatively, playing Saka, Martinelli, Laca and Auba in a 4-4-2 would also be interesting.
Martinelli has been too good to be dropped. I hope he stays fit and continues to perform the way he's been doing. Nicholas Pepe needs to put his head down and just play football; every time, he's so casual in possession and doesn't seem to be hungry for goals and assists like Saka.
I really don't know what to think about Pepe, did we expected to much because of the price, or... if you look at stats he was not that bad. but when you compare the work rate and attitude with Martinelli or Saka, it does look bad.
Maybe he will start working more now.
