Tbh, Arteta did select Partey and Elneny when everyone was fit for the United game

Contrast that to what happened against Spurs.

Arteta would have to be stupid not to notice the difference.

Yeh we shall see. Plenty of tabloid rumours about Xhaka going to Inter or Germany. No smoke without fire..

I like Mari,s composure on the ball. Not the quickest but reads the game well.

The BFG made a career out of those attributes

Mari has a cracking touch. Also sets him up perfectly.

Brazilian flair

The big question is can Mari and Gabriel form a partnership?

Would be interesting to pair up Mari with Gabriel. Two left footers CBs aren't ideal though

Always*

I reckon Arteta prefers a left and right footed CB combo.

Mari not slow like Mert hes just got average pace. Nothing wrong with that for a CB.

He tall so these longs balls into our area are pretty easy to deal with for him. His passing and touch also seem to be pretty good.

Hopefully he gets a good run in the team so we can really see what he's made of.

Shame about whats happening with Saliba as with him, Mari and Gabriel we actually have some cracking CBs. Hopefully Saliba is just a settling in issue.
