Do you really think that the group of players that saw the end of Wenger then saw off Emery would having seen off Arteta suddenly knuckle under because Conte was in charge ?
Id imagine Emery and to a greater extent Arteta just dont particularly command any amount of respect and then try to be the players buddies as a result
Conte has been there and done that with many many t-shirts/ jersey's to prove it, he walks in and rules the roost rather than has to try impress Clive and his cronies.
I like your optimism but many big name managers have been hounded out by player power , Clough , Van Gall , Mourinho to name a few . Once the players rule the roost they will only do what they want . Until they leave the club it will be the same for everyone.
Here we are. Not really sure, as always, what to make of it:
Ramsdale
Tomiyasu
White
Gabriel
Tierney
Maitland-Niles
Sambi
Lokonga
Pépé
Ødegaard
Saka
Aubameyang
So is that basically Leno being told yer done Pal?
I read somewhere in the week that Ramsdale had been told he would be starting this game days ago. Either it's Artea trying to justify the transfer spend or he's done enough in training to get the starting spot. I think he's an upgrade on Leno to be honest.
I'm not sure what's going on with AMN though. Ten days ago, he's about to leave, has a falling out with the manager and now, he's starting. All seems confused.

Interesting. Nice fresh look to it all and looks to have pace wrote all over it except Arteta will have drilled more side ways ,back ways second gear mind numbing shit into them during the week . Even though it's a game he knows he can't afford to lose he'll still have them set up in cautious mode. Personally I think Tomiyasu will be a decent addition to the team over time.
