Arsenal now have an incredible set of midfielders to choose from every week
We, the mighty Gunners, have the same number of points (20) as our NLD rivals Tottenham after eight league games, but Spurs are in first place in the rankings due to a better goal differential. Our ability to dominate and win games due to an effective engine room has allowed us to take the lead in the title battle and be ahead of Manchester City.
This year, our midfield is loaded with excellent quality and dominates all of our competitors. After 12 league games, we overcame Manchester City for the first time in the Premier League, therefore we are currently in terrific shape.
Our tactical mastermind, Mikel Arteta, has together some of the best players and gotten the best out of them. We have won six and drawn two league games this season without suffering a loss.
What do each of our midfielders contribute?
Robert Odegaard
Without a question, the finest attacking midfielders in the league are our Norwegian skipper. He is an efficient worker who brings grace and eloquence to the team. He is also swift and knowledgeable. His contributions to the Arsenal team are unmatched, and he has been crucial to our successful league start this year.
The ex-West Ham player has been fantastic for us. He has proven that the £105 million we paid for him this summer was well spent. The player has performed admirably. His tackles, passes, and creative play make him one of the league’s greatest defensive midfielders.
Thomas Partey
Since September, we’ve been missing the Ghanaian international’s services. He has been out injured for some time this season, but it does not diminish his talent. In his first game back from injury (albeit on a cameo appearance), he controlled the midfield and demonstrated his talent with a fantastic long pass that led to Arsenal’s goal against Manchester City.
Fabio Vieira
This season, the ex-Porto player was instrumental in our victories over Manchester City in the Community Shield and Manchester United in the league. His ingenuity as a super sub helps redefine play in the middle of the park. He’s also started to demonstrate his class when he’s on the field.
Kai Havertz
The German has started to settle in at the club, scoring against Bournemouth and assisting Martinelli against Manchester City. Despite his sluggish start at the Emirates, Havertz’s talent is apparent. We have yet to see his best, but there is hope that he will discover his magic.
Jorginho
With Thomas Partey’s injury, we saw Jorginho in all his glory against Man City, and he proved to be a more than capable backup. In fact he probably needs to play more in the future to give us even more options going forward.
How does that incredible choice of midfielders look to you?
