“I just have to accept as true that the other people in the rate will handle me the right way and continue to help me thrive and progress as a player.
BELE RUMBLES
Arsenal are reportedly on alert, and Barcelona fears that Ousmane Dembélé will terminate their contract.
The Frenchman has struggled in recent years and has refused to move to Manchester United.
The Express reports that the Gunners are interested in Mikel Arteta pursuing his attack.
The Dembélé agreement expires in 2022, but Barca, without money, will do so in January.
JOR FALLING
Arsenal attempted to recruit Chelsea Jorginho’s midfielder this summer, it has been revealed.
Athletic reports that gunners have to use staggered payment structures to land two of their top 3 targets.
The Italian foreigner on the short list alongside Houssem Aouar of Lyon and Thomas Partey.
He is the only star to make it to the Emirates after Arsenal activated their £ 45m buyout clause at Atlético Madrid on the deadline.
AUBA THE MIDDLE
Arsenal captain Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang is expected to play the role of undisputed striker for former Gunners striker Paul Merson.
Aubameyang has scored only two league goals this season, most commonly left for Mikel Arteta’s team.
Merse told Sky Sports: “When Aubameyang is on the wing, it can take 15 minutes without touching the ball. You can’t let your star player spend so much time without touching the ball. “
“How many goals would Jamie Vardy score for Leicester if you played for the left wing?Not as much as it is now, that’s for sure.
“The defenses are to solve it. They start to undo the risk of their component and make life difficult for them.
“They avoid cutting and shoot at the farthest corner. Something has to change. Right now, he doesn’t see the ball enough where it counts.
IT WILL SOON BE
Willian “seems lost” at Arsenal and does not approach his Chelsea form, according to Paul Merson.
The 32-year-old Brazilian winger reached the Emirates before this season on a three-year contract that Blues Brass refused to offer him.
Merse told Sky Sports: “Willian was amazing at Chelsea last year.
“For me, he’s probably one of the most productive players. He’s phenomenal, exceptional talent.
“He went to Arsenal and lost. They have to make him play.
AUBA AND BEYOND
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Alan Smith believes Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still hungry for goals, but there has to be a tactical replacement to keep him alive.
Smith told the Evening Standard: “The fact that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hasn’t scored in the league’s open game since day one tends to point in a concerned direction.
“If one of the world’s most productive players can’t locate the net in seven games, what does that say about the team as a whole?Well, that said to begin with that the number of opportunities created has decreased. don’t seize the opportunities of the past.
“In all honesty, this will inevitably happen when a coach focuses on organization and strength, when he is determined to eliminate fragile defenses in favor of a disciplined technique that shows little.
“Some say it’s in vain left, but I can’t agree with that when it’s shone so brightly from that position in the past. Eye, his good luck on this flank is based on a component in the contribution of the centre forward and Alexandre Lacazette has fallen into a crisis that does not help. Maybe it’s time to move the captain inside.
“As for the accusation of Aubameyang, who starved to death after signing this colossal contract, I don’t have it. The 31-year-old doesn’t seem to be the guy to follow. He likes to score too much to make the moves.
“Lack of creativity is not its cause, a loss of profit that leads Arsenal to fight against groups that adopt a low blockade. Leeds, however, does not technically technique this tactic, insisting Bielsa on attacking the verve. As a result, this may be a day for Auba’s big smile. “
MARK MY WORDS

“After each and every Lions match at the 2002 World Cup, we danced, my friends and I sang. “
Dec
Mikel Arteta revealed that January signing, Cedric Soares, continued to fight despite his injury disorders at Arsenal.
Gunners’ technician said: “I noticed a big replacement at Cedric over the next month. His performance in the Europa League has been much better. “
“I needed a little time to adjust to the way we played and, more importantly, I needed your fitness point to be at the point we needed. It was because he had injuries when he was given here. “

“Accept the scenario and fight it to become us and we’ll check to offer you more opportunities. “

Now, like those towers, the bridge is also part of the story, being demolished to create a new House of the English game.

MIK IN A GENTLE WAY

“I feel very privileged to be where I am because I love what I do so much, I love sitting down to form this club and having the opportunity to spend time with those players and the staff.
“But I think it becomes a task every single time you solve disorders and solve disorders. If it hits you every day, it consumes a lot of energy.
“I come now and hope that anything will come through the door and give me some bad news and I have to react temporarily because I know it’s coming down now.

LEAD THE LIAM WAY – BREAKING
Fulham and Brighton Liam Rosenior’s former defense will assist the next FA president.
Rosenior was appointed to the six-person panel to locate Greg Clarke’s successor in disgrace, but Wembley’s executive leader Mark Bullingham revealed that he believes the next FA leader is unlikely to be a former player.
Paul Elliott, Les Ferdinand and even Gary Lineker have been advised as potential candidates for the FA’s public face. But Bullingham said: “There are two main spaces of paper.
“One is to be a certainly brilliant ambassador and to become on the national and foreign stage. Players can probably do that. But there is a condition of timing to lead the FA board of directors.
“We have a complex stakeholder board and it’s hard to see that anyone who has never led a board can step in and lead a complex stakeholder board in a 450 million-pound organization with 760 employees.
“We are reviewing the board of directors and I would like to have representation of the players on the board. But if you ask me if that’s the role of president, my non-public answer would be no. “
I WANT IN
Mikel Arteta praised midfielder Joe Willock.
Speaking about this weekend’s game with Leeds, the Spaniard explained how he was inspired by the Product of the Gunners Academy.
He said, “I talked to Joe that I was inspired by him, the way he tried the stage not to have much play time in the Premier League. “
“I haven’t noticed him exercising like he has in the last five or six weeks in difficult circumstances.
I think the reflection of that is the way he plays in the Europa League when he had the minutes, or the Carabao Cup in this case, he has a chance like everyone else to play on Sunday.

Pay
MPs asked Prem chief Richard Masters why the 50 million pound reduction department bailout was not accepted.

“They are very faithful to their principles, to the form of the game and to the technique of the game in the same way, which is to win and be very competitive with and without the ball and go out to win.
“No matter where they play, what I saw of them last season is not a question of who they’re betting against, that’s what they’re doing. “
