He solves the problem by using a little bit of common sense:
Like playing the guy who actually won him & his team the title over the guy who miserably failed in the 2024/2025 runin & couldn't even take Arsenal to any finals as Arteta's lead 9 at that time.
Learn, Arteta, learn.
🚨🔴 ARTETA HAS A BIG PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
Kai Havertz is out for several weeks, leaving Viktor Gyökeres as Arsenal’s only natural No. 9 available.
Mikel Merino can fill the role if needed, but Arsenal’s bigger concern is obvious, WHERE ARE THE GOALS GOING TO COME FROM? 😳
Gyökeres now carries huge responsibility. But if he struggles, does Arteta trust Merino up front or change the entire system?
Arsenal fans, who should lead the line? 👇
Gyökeres? 🇸🇪
Merino? 🇪🇸
Or should Arteta try something completely different?

There's literally a free library of football on YouTube
All different teams from A-Z across a range of countries
Or if someone just wants to watch Arsenal, there is untold amounts of better AFC than Artetas version
I will never go out of my way to watch Arteta's "Arsenal"

Exactly!
Signed to qualify Emirates era FC for the UCL, as there was panic in the boardroom when Cesc Fabregas got injured 🎄 2008
Funny how when top 4 looked like it might not have been possible Wenger got backed with a new top tier winger but but hAvE tO pAy fOr a stAdIuM😂

"setting the standards"
Bloke just went through an entire season scoring only one goal.
Even Arteta scored more than one goal a season as an Arsenal player😂😂😂
Arteta raised the standards in the 2020s alright😂😂😂

Arteta has also won less trophies than City since that 'incident'
Arteta has won 1, City have won 2.
Even in City's worst ever era under Pep, Arteta still handed them the Carabao Cup.
Absolutely spineless manager
Two years ago today, Erling Haaland told Mikel Arteta to “stay humble.”
Arteta didn’t react. No drama, no words. He simply let his football do the talking.
Man City haven’t finished above Arteta’s Arsenal since. No Premier League titles either, while Liverpool and Arsenal have both gone on to win deserved titles in that time.
Sometimes, karma writes the best scripts. 🤌

Only for him to get a new contract with a pay rise on top😂😂😂
Arteta very very rarely gets rid of his favourite players unless he 1, has to save face without even owning up to his mistake or 2, he has to succumb to the odd bit of fan pressure I.E. selling Martinelli or Hayzoos
🚨 Martin Zubimendi picks his next club.

If I were Gyokeres I wouldn't trust Arteta as far as I could throw him
Arteta has a history of double crossing players who do well under him.
Do not trust Mikel Arteta under any circumstances, he'll revert back to favouritism at the first chance he gets (#29 returning from 🤕)
🚨🔴⚪️ ARTETA CONSIDERING RECONCILIATION WITH GYÖKERES!
Mikel Arteta is reportedly considering reconciling with Viktor Gyökeres and rebuilding the relationship between the manager and the striker.
The plan would be to ensure Gyökeres gets consistent opportunities and plays regularly for Arsenal moving forward.
The Sweden international has already shown his sharpness during the international break, scoring in consecutive matches.
Gyökeres has also made it clear that he wants to play as much as possible and says his dialogue with Arteta is good.
🔴⚪️ If Arteta gives Gyökeres a genuine run of games, Arsenal could finally see the best of their No.9. 🔥

But they said Emery had Arsenal playing boring football, this is only one year before the Arteta era begun too😂😂😂
Arteta inherited a better situation than 15 out of the other 20 managers at that time, seeing as Emery had Arsenal finishing 5th with 70 points.

Only three men to blame
Not the guy who Arteta rushed off his bench and then expected him to clinically score a penalty with ease.
Hope this helps
Eberechi Eze you've seen what you cause. I'll never forgive you in this world and hereafter except you win the Champions league before you leave Arsenal. I rest my case.

He's not an out and out 9 and he has never been one
Arteta brought him into the team in the 24/25 season and he won nothing with him, and fell further behind slot
There is only one pure number 9 and his name is Viktor Gyökeres
Mikel Merino is also a SERIOUS OPTION for Arsenal’s striker role alongside Viktor Gyökeres, with Kai Havertz currently injured. 🤕
His ability to play as a FALSE 9 gives Arteta another option in attack when needed. 👀 #afc

Load of tosh
17 year old Fabregas came into a top team with world class Highbury players & immediately gelled.
18 year old Jack Wilshere came into an average Emirates era 10/11 Arsenal team & bottled the entire season in a month when Fabregas wasn't around to hold his hand.

Bottom line is Arteta fucked him over and deliberately instructed his 2 favo boys not to pass the ball to Gyokeres
Absolutely disgusting manager, for doing that. Irrational thinking.
But Don't worry, Arteta will be running back to Gyokeres soon enough when he needs results.
First it was Saka. Then Ødegaard. Then every winger at Arsenal apparently “refused to pass to Gyökeres.”
Now Gyökeres is scoring for Sweden and Arteta is the problem.
Tomorrow, if he scores again, who’s next? The Emirates grass? 😭

PR doesn't substitute for genuine success retweeted
Another 10/10 performance from Gyökeres. Hate him or love him you just have to accept that Gyökeres is great at his job - bagging goals.
Nothing concerns him with playing beautiful football.
Arteta ++

Well David Raya, what can I say?
Consider your Yashin Trophy nomination well and truly IN THE BIN.
And this WILL be the season where you get found out as a mediocre all-round goalkeeper unless you get it together.
It's time to either shape up, or ship out.

16 goals in half a decade for a so called "offensive midfielder" is poor not to mention 9 of his goals are pens. So the majority of his Arsenal goals were penalties 😂😂
At best he scored 4 good Arsenal goals in this clip package
He was a Very bad footballer.
Hope this helps
