I wish I was fly in the Arsenal dressing room in the first half of the Arsenal dressing room, because I think many of the differences between the first and second levels were in the first and second stages for the motivation I’m talking about.
Last week, Anfield was the same when they were 2-0 at Liverpool and Arteta told them he would not accept the performance level. This time they weren’t behind them against Newcastle, but they could be the case.
Arteta has won the Brigades as Wenger – and Dicklan Rice struck him again on Sunday. You can know that he is a low body of gymnastics because he was flying a little but Arsenal needed him, and brought him.
There was a bit of the final sensor for the game because the Champions League qualifiers were riding on it for both teams and of course he had the lead, with Newcastle, who beat Arsenal three times this season.
They needed to be bed, really, Arsenal did in the second half – even if the game was still very tense.
I don’t think Arsenal fans celebrate their second place in their final bullets, but it’s still a complete achievement for them to return to the Champions League for the third consecutive season after they were out of the pitch for six years.
When you think about where Arsenal was when Arteta took it in
The injuries have had a lot of influence on them this season, but you still feel that our arsenal has returned – they are on the right path, the shirts they want to follow.
