Arsenal fans think they know what Mikel Arteta will do ahead of their Premier League fixture this weekend.<\/p>\n
Arsenal fans think they know exactly what\u2019s going to happen after their win over Crystal Palace with some fans already calling out Mikel Arteta.<\/p>\n
Arsenal booked their spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals following their come-from-behind victory over Palace on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring at the Emirates as the Gunners replied with three unanswered goals in the second-half.<\/p>\n
Gabriel Jesus bagged a stunning hat-trick to inspire his side to victory, with Arsenal old boy Eddie Nketiah grabbing a late consolation.<\/p>\n
Despite the cup win, Arsenal fans turned on one of their players.<\/p>\n
With Jesus returning to the score-sheet and seemingly finding his groove, Arsenal fans are convinced Arteta will employ the Brazilian up front for this weekend\u2019s Premier League fixture against Palace.<\/p>\n
In doing so, supporters reckon Kai Havertz, who has been playing as a forward this season, will drop to the left side of midfield.<\/p>\n
But the prospect of Jesus in a No.9 position garnered mixed reaction on social media.<\/p>\n
One X user wrote: \u201cKai Havertz at the tip of the diamond is looking like a decent idea again.\u201d<\/p>\n
A second tweeted: \u201cHe should put Jesus LW. That\u2019s the problem area.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third added: \u201cProbably this weekend.. I am tired already.\u201d<\/p>\n
A fourth argued: \u201cWith how Merino has played, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that bad of an idea now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cDid it against Villa (H) last szn and we lost the league.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking after the game, Arteta praised Jesus and hailed his sharpness in front of goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so pleased for him [Jesus]. It\u2019s been a long period for him without goals and today, to score three goals, the three types of goals that he scored \u2013 and the many actions he was involved in \u2013 he looked very sharp,\u201d he told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a great thing for him and the team that we can rely on a player of such quality. It\u2019s the same with Kieran [Tierney] and other players who haven\u2019t started many games and today they had the chance to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a quality, a way of creating and innovating situations that is quite unique. So Gabi at that level is a big asset for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s now about consistency. Now this is a moment of spark that will bring so much confidence, not only to him, but to the team as well that we can rely on him to change games.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we need to take it and give him more games and chances. We need to give him more chances because when a player is in that moment it\u2019s important to continue that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
