‘Arteta is a ‘Gambler’. He cost them the league last season and will cost them again this season. It is past time for Stan Kroenke to take action if Arteta fails to perform this season.’ Chelsea icon John Terry has finally revealed the only Arsenal player that will cost Arteta his job this season.
Arsenal has been on an impressive winning streak, securing six consecutive victories in the Premier League and netting a total of 25 goals. Notably, key players like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Gabriel have contributed significantly to the team’s success, narrowing the gap with league leaders Liverpool to two points.
Under Mikel Arteta’s leadership, the Gunners have displayed dominance, scoring three or more goals in five out of their last six matches. The only exception was a 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest on January 30th.
Despite the standout performances of Rice and Saka, some Arsenal players, including Gabriel Jesus, have faced challenges. Jesus, who initiated the remarkable run with goals in the first two games, has been sidelined for the past four victories due to injury. Notably, Arsenal has continued to thrive without him, showcasing their attacking prowess.
Kai Havertz has assumed the role of Arsenal’s false nine in Jesus’ absence, occasionally alternating with Leandro Trossard. Havertz has contributed two goals and one assist in the last five games, while Trossard has added three goals to the team’s tally.
Another notable absence is Jakub Kiwior, a center-back, who took over from Oleksandr Zinchenko during a crucial 3-1 victory over Liverpool on February 4th. Since his introduction, Kiwior has played every minute, forming part of a sturdy Arsenal defense that conceded only one goal in the Premier League. His impact was highlighted by a crucial goal in the recent 4-1 win against Newcastle, contributing to Arsenal’s impressive tally of 19 set-piece goals this season.
