You can argue was it right to put him out, but he is 21 playing centre-back in the Premier League - do you do that when you're 19-20? He didn't have too much to do in terms of the first half, but there was one moment where Arsenal were pushing out a lot. Before you see him play, he looks the part, for such a young age, helping Ben White, Arsenal fans have been excited to see him. More interestingly, he has also added speed to the backline, which is also crucial to playing a high line. After his excellent displays recently, Saliba continues to dominate the Arsenal statistics and plaudits. William Saliba has been sensational for Arsenal so far in the Premier League campaign.

What Can Arsenal Realistically Achieve In The Premier League This ... (Forbes)

Arsenal have started their 2022/23 Premier League campaign with wins over Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Bournemouth.

Champions League qualification might still be the ultimate objective for Arteta’s team, but ambition is flowing through Arsenal for the first time in a number of years. Oleksandr Zinchenko has started all of Arsenal’s opening three Premier League fixtures and has given the Gunners more control in possession. On the basis of the early stages of this season, though, lessons have been learned. The Gunners are playing with real zip in the final third. He has moulded a team in his own image with Arsenal proactive on and off the ball in wins over Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Bournemouth. “Obviously, we’re on a good run, the atmosphere is good, the unity around the club is incredible and this is really helpful.

When Arsenal last won their first three games – & what happened next (PlanetFootball)

Arsenal have made a brilliant start to the 2022-23 season, winning their first three Premier League games for the first time in almost 20 years.

The Blues never let up, winning the title with a then-record 95 points and still-unbeaten and scarcely believable defensive record of just 15 goals conceded. Arsenal won just two of their next seven, and by that point Jose Mourinho’s imperious Chelsea were in the driving seat. A 3-2 home loss to Leeds United in the run-in the season before was immensely painful for Arsenal. At that point, they looked well on their way to retaining the title. The remaining 10 men went on to grind out a 2-1 win, which was an early indicator of their winning mentality that year.

Manchester United won 2-0, ending the Invincibles’ unforgettable 49-match unbeaten streak. The Gunners have been infamously slow starters in recent years and often need to respond to early setbacks. Jesus was involved in the goals. His contribution to the team was outstanding.” So what does the superb start mean for Arsenal’s prospects this season? In the second half we conceded too many chances for Bournemouth.

You can see on the documentary that Arteta clearly wants a fast start. He said it repeatedly before many games. More than that though he has the motivational ...

- I mentioned in a previous post the importance to players that they have a player song. I think we have the luxury of taking a bit of a chance on a player as we seem to be threatening goals from a variety of areas compared to previous seasons. - You may be the same as me in regards to worrying about the current players that we love. I also think that if we bring in a player that can do something eye catching that gets the crowd off their feet, that it will inadvertently challenge the other three to step their game up. - There were a couple of moments in the game that I particularly loved. He lost the ball in the last 15 minutes of the game and I really noticed. They say that you are more likely to shoot the way you look. That small detail might help the Arsenal players when wanting to hit the corners. What you are going to do ‘today.’ One of the best habits that the new Arsenal have is valuing this first quarter of the game. So from my vantage point that game is only easy because of the above. Such technical confidence such a tactical brain and seems so at ease on the pitch because of these two qualities. Most coaches in most sports cannot do this because their owners do not have the patience and neither do the fans.

How Oleksandr Zinchenko makes Arsenal and Granit Xhaka better (The Athletic)

Odegaard and Saka's partnership on the right was established last season but Zinchenko and Xhaka on the left is becoming just as important.

It’s something good to have in the team.” It was not a major change but something that gave Bournemouth a different problem to solve and is a clear display of the flexibility now in the squad. “The way I want to play, there are certain spaces that have to be occupied at all times,” Arteta said after the Bournemouth win. He did not see any of the ball in possession, which made his next stint out on the right even more interesting. The Switzerland international then made another assist at Bournemouth for [William Saliba](https://theathletic.com/football/player/william-saliba-7wVbbT0NIGqlbbKu/) after a smart set-piece routine, but was a nuisance for Scott Parker’s back line from the opening minutes. This is particularly noticeable due to the fact that Xhaka being high and Zinchenko drifting inside is not their sole dynamic. Sucking Bournemouth in, Zinchenko’s starting position benefited Arsenal once again when they decided to play through the pitch. Arsenal are giving teams problems with those on-pitch rotations; not just those involving Xhaka. On both occasions, it helped Arsenal to escape pressure. Popping up as an extra body in midfield naturally gives Xhaka more licence to push further forward. “I wouldn’t say ‘comfortable’ but sometimes you have to take players from their comfort zone and open a different door to explore what the team will react like (and) what the opposition will do,” the Arsenal manager said in March when asked what made him comfortable with making the tweak to the way Xhaka played. Granit Xhaka advancing into higher pockets of space is not new.
