Arsenal’s Tactical Response
With Martinelli and other key players injured Arsenal is looking at their young players to step up. Ethan Nwaneri, a young talent came in for Martinelli against Newcastle showing how much the club needs its youth academy right now. Since they didn’t sign anyone during winter transfer window Arteta doesn’t have many options which makes his choices super important.
