Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club shared some team news with supporters ahead of this Saturday’s clash against Norwich.
What’s the story?
Well, it’s been a terrible start to the season for Arsenal, although they have had some vital players missing in fairness to them.
Mikel Arteta has overseen three defeats from three Premier League games, although he’s done so without Thomas Partey and Gabriel Magalhães.
Ben White has also been absent, apart from the 2-0 loss to Brentford.
Now, all three are back and available for selection following the international break, in what is huge news for Arsenal.
As one fan below states, the season starts now for the Gunners.
Arsenal could truly arrive against Norwich
Gabriel, White and Partey are obviously key players for Arsenal, but they’re also vital in helping Arteta’s system operate.
Arteta’s system mainly relies on his defenders being brave in possession, and playing effective passes between the lines when opponents come to press.
Gabriel and White excel at this, so they’re absolutely pivotal.
For this system to work, you also need some form of protection when the ball is lost, something Arsenal have lacked this season.
However, in the colossal Partey, Arteta has his midfield destroyer to mop things up when possession is lost.
The trio are so, so important in making Arteta’s system click.
With the three of them back, Arteta’s Arsenal could truly arrive against Norwich at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday.
Let’s see how the Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to the club’s team news announcement…
