Arsenal has won all the games since October without conceding a goal! Arteta: The team will continue to improve!

Eze was officially selected as the best player of the game by Arsenal.

After all, he scored the only goal in the game, so it is not an exaggeration to be elected the best. But in fact, before the goal, Eze's presence on the offensive end was not high. But as Arteta said, buying Eze is for some magical moments, and these are magical moments. Today's Arsenal does not need Eze to carry the whole team. As long as he has a few key performances in a season to help Arsenal score 3-5 more points, the deal will be worthwhile.

Speaking of this game, I think Gabriel and Timber performed very well. Gabe is becoming more and more like a general. In the second half, Skelly's mistake caused Crystal Palace to counterattack. Gabe yelled that Skelly showed leadership qualities and the young people should be scolded.

Squawka statistics show that Arsenal won all competitions in October and did not concede a single goal.

It is not difficult to win completely, but what is difficult is to keep all zero sheets, and in some games, the opponent even did not have a shot on target.

This team is already quite mature and can cope with any situation. It can even be said that the biggest enemy in the league is itself, as long as it maintains the current level.

There are too many uncertainties in the Champions League, let’s wait until the knockout rounds.

Arteta attended the post-match press conference. Let's take a look at the Arsenal coach's speech.

You fought hard to keep a clean sheet and win the game. Is this victory very important in the grand scheme of this season?

I completely agree. I told the lads that I think winning this game is more valuable than any other win this season because we know how difficult it is. Everyone plays a game in three days, and something happened this weekend (several big clubs lost points). We are facing one of the best organized teams in recent times. Crystal Palace can constantly threaten you, and once you lose focus, they can punish you.

We didn’t play smoothly in the first half, but the team still found opportunities to score goals. In the second half, our offense was better and smoother. But with the score of 1-0, we knew it would be hard for us because Crystal Palace can score against any team this season, so keeping a clean sheet is very important.

You said the first half was a bit uneven. Is this because Crystal Palace is so good?

This must praise Crystal Palace. Because when you try to do something, they adjust to you and don't get distracted. Their backline is very aggressive and makes it difficult to find space, and when they win the ball you know Palace have Mateta up front and two very fast players, so you have to be very disciplined or their two wing-backs can overwhelm you.

So I told the boys that this is a long game and you have to stay emotionally stable and when you have the opportunity to attack, be direct and take advantage of it because we won't have many chances.

In terms of injuries, how is Rice doing?

First of all Saliba, obviously he had to be replaced in midfield, Rice was struggling from the first half (Declan as well was struggling from the first half), Calafiore too, let's see how it goes.

And Martinelli, he was limping a little after the game and went directly into the tunnel with the physical therapist. Is he okay?

Yeah, I think it's okay, we have to check it out. Little Martin was a little uncomfortable. He said he felt some discomfort. We don't know yet whether it was a muscle problem.

Is it a tactical reason to replace Saka?

Yes, he was sick and couldn't attend training. We didn't know whether Saka would be able to play, but he worked very hard to play in this game. The team doctors also provided great guidance to give us the best chance of maintaining the best possible conditions.

So Saka can play for a while, but as the game progresses, he is tired and there is a risk of injury, and we don't want to take that risk.

I know it's early, but you're six points ahead of Manchester City and seven points ahead of Liverpool. Are you surprised by that?

This is due to ourselves, because the team's performance is very stable, but we also know the difficulty of every game, so this does not mean anything, except continue to work hard to do our job, we still have a lot to improve.

Can you tell us more about the situation of these injured players?

I can’t say it, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that I don’t know either. Regarding Saliba, there were two related factors for him being substituted. Regarding Rice, I really don’t know what the situation was because he was hit, but I don’t know if it was the calf or the Achilles tendon or where exactly.

The above is the press conference.

The competition has ended for a few days, so I won’t say much more.

In terms of injuries, many people showed signs of injuries in this game, but I think they are not long-term injuries. Despite this, Arteta should take a warning and not regret it. Small injuries are often precursors to serious injuries and are signals sent by the body. For example, Rice was unwell in the first half and can be replaced in the midfield. Saka also played despite being sick.

Arteta said that Saliba has two problems. We don’t know what the problems are. There is no further news yet, and the same goes for Martin.

I hope everyone is okay. There will definitely be rotation in the League Cup midweek. The opponent is very strong, but it is impossible to fight with all the main players.

There is no other news. There are no transfer rumors during this period. To be honest, it is unlikely to buy anyone in the winter (it is possible for someone to leave). Next summer is still early, so let’s focus on competing for the championship this season!
