      Ian Wright hails two stars who ‘dragged Arsenal through’ nightmare before Mikel Arteta turned fortunes around

      by

      ARSENAL legend Ian Wright reckons two academy starlets “dragged” the club through its toughest times in recent years.The Gunners floundered between the end of Arsene Wenger’s 22-year reign in May 2018 and Mikel Arteta’s arrival as boss in December 2019.Ian Wright believes two academy products ‘kept the fans going’Credit: SportsfileMikel Arteta has guided the Gunners to runners-up spot twice in a rowCredit: AlamyUnai Emery, now in charge of Aston Villa, flopped in his 18 months at the helm for Arsenal.The Spaniard was finally sacked when a 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt at a half-empty Emirates made it seven winless games in a row.The Gunners were eighth at the time but, after a month under caretaker chief Freddie Ljungberg, Arteta took over to earn a fifth-place finish.The ex-Arsenal midfielder has since guided the club to runners-up spot in the Premier League for the past two seasons.READ MORE TOP STORIESBut Wrighty believes a pair of home-grown talents deserve more credit than many might realise for holding the Gunners together before Arteta’s appointment.One name will be no surprise – because of his achievements then and now.But Wright’s other choice is more thought-provoking – as the player in question has been forced to depart the Emirates to revive his career.Step forward winger Bukayo Saka, now 23, and 24-year-old attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe.Most read in FootballBukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe held Arsenal together, Wrighty claimsCredit: GettyFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSSaka has gone on to win 42 England caps while fellow Londoner Smith Rowe picked up three before losing his regular Arsenal place, partly due to injuries.Wright said: “When you consider when he (Saka) got into the Arsenal side, where Arsenal were.Arsenal icon Merson says ‘I’ve got more chance of winning Strictly’ in reply to Postecoglou’s second-year trophy claim“It was almost on him and Emile Smith Rowe’s shoulders to try and get Arsenal through a certain period in the (Alexandre) Lacazette and (Pierre-Emerick) Aubameyang period, in and around that time.“He was around 19 and 20. They dragged the club through. “Just being able to support them two kept the fans going and gave Mikel the support he needed. It was down to them two.”Frontmen Lacazette and Aubameyang both finally left the Gunners in 2022 – the latter leaving under a cloud for Barcelona after disciplinary problems at the Emirates.After such an uncertain period, Arsenal have finished second twice in succession – their highest position since 2016, although the last time they actually lifted the Prem crown was 20 years ago.Meanwhile, Saka has become Arsenal’s main man but Smith Rowe left in August for Fulham, where he’s quickly regained his dazzling best form.Arsenal ratings vs Spurs as Gabriel is the hero in feisty North London derbyGABRIEL headed in the only goal of the game as a depleted Arsenal snatched all three points in the North London Derby.Here’s how SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield rated the Gunners players…DAVID RAYA – 8/10Commanded his area well, and was a safe pair of hands throughout the game. Another great showing in what has been a spectacular start for the Spanish stopper. JURRIEN TIMBER – 7Did well from an attacking perspective, charging down the left hand side on various occasions. Solid defensively too against Spurs’ flying right side of Johnson and Porro.Some would argue he should’ve been sent off for a challenge on Pedro Porro in the first half, but he escaped despite squaring up to Vicario in the aftermath.WILLIAM SALIBA – 8A really good recovery challenge in the first half to deny Dominic Solanke, despite being booked early on.You can always count on Saliba to put in a solid display, and he didn’t disappoint today with fantastic passing out from the back too. GABRIEL – 9A fantastic defensive showing throughout, reinforced with a towering header inside the box to give his side the lead from a set piece (shock). Has formed an impeccable partnership with Saliba, personified by their heartwarming celebration together after the opener. He’s the man. BEN WHITE – 6Gave away the ball in a dangerous position in the first half, with Solanke failing to capitalise and had a tough first half against the quick feet of Heung Min-Son.Was not able to demonstrate the dangerous right-hand side overlap we saw work so effectively last season, but wasn’t threatened in the second 45.JORGINHO – 4Struggled to replace the suspended Declan Rice for this North London derby, whom the Gunners really missed.A tough task, but didn’t come close to matching Rice’s intensity or ability to drive the ball up the pitch which left Arsenal weak in the forward areas.THOMAS PARTEY – 5Struggled in transition with Jorginho alongside him, another player who felt the full force of no Rice and Odegaard.Not fast enough with or without the ball, and will need to perk his ideas up for City next week. GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 6Looked like a bright spark with his running and forward movement, but was let down by his end product or lack thereof.Worked really really hard throughout, just looks short of confidence in the last actions. LEANDRO TROSSARD – 6Dropping deeper into more of a midfield role than he’s used to today, it should be noted that he did a job for the team when they needed him. Not the flying efficiency machine we have seen him be from the bench, but his versatility will be needed this season it seems. BUKAYO SAKA – 7Didn’t make the kind of impact on the game we are used to seeing from the brilliant Bukayo Saka, and looked less of a threat without Martin Odegaard to combine with. Did some really good defensive work nonetheless, and delivered the perfect corner to claim the assist for Gabriel’s opener. KAI HAVERTZ – 6A good header in the first half was saved well by Vicario in the spurs net – actually made more clearances (3) than he managed shots on target (2) in the first 45. Was a handful for the Spurs defence, but largely nullified by the pace and power of Mickey Van de Ven and Cristian Romero.  More

      Rodri sensationally claims players are close to STRIKING over schedule after Alisson said ‘our opinion does not matter’

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY midfielder Rodri has suggested that players could go on strike over extreme fixture scheduling.The Spaniard made 50 appearances for City last season and even begged Pep Guardiola to give him a rest back in April.Rodri claims players could strike over the fixture scheduleCredit: PAIt was the second time he voiced concerns about player welfare, having already claimed his workload was “not healthy” the previous year.But he doubled down on his stance ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League clash between Man City and Inter Milan.Asked how many games is optimum for a footballer, Rodri said: “Honestly I don’t have an exact number.”From my experience I can tell you 60-70 now, between 40-50 is the amount a player can play in the highest level, after you drop because it is impossible to sustain the highest level.Read More in Football”This year we can go to 70, maybe 80, in my humble opinion it is too much. Someone has to take care of ourselves.”We are the main characters of this sport or business.”Not everything is money or marketing, it is also the quality of the show. When I am not tired I perform better and if the people want to see better football, we need to rest.”The 28-year-old was then quizzed about the possibility of players going on strike over the issue.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSAlisson Becker claims players’ opinions ‘do not matter’Credit: AFPHe added: “Yeah, I think we are close to that, it is easy to understand.”If you ask any player he will say the same, it is not the opinion of Rodri, if it keeps this way, there will be a moment where we don’t have any other option.”What’s new this season? Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson also voiced his disapproval of the fixture scheduling this week.The Brazilian slammed UEFA’s new Champions League format in which teams are forced to play at least eight group stage games as opposed to six.Ahead of Liverpool’s match against AC Milan, he said: “For the supporters, it is amazing – more games, more bigger games.”For us players, it is good that you are going to play against the best in Europe.”But it is always a good idea to add some games to the calendar that is not busy… I am being a little bit ironic!”Sometimes, nobody asks the players what they think about adding more games.”So maybe our opinion does not matter. But everybody knows what we think. Everybody is tired of it.”It is a matter of sitting down all together and listening to all the parties. We have the media and TV, UEFA and FIFA, Premier League, domestic competitions.”We are not stupid and understand that. We understand that people want more games.”But the reasonable thing would be, all the people I mentioned – those who make the calendar – to sit together and listen to all the parties inclusive of the players.”The comments from both Rodri and Alisson come just a fortnight after PFA chief executive Maheta Molango suggested players should be limited to a MAXIMUM of 60 games per season.The players’ union boss said: “We need to protect the players from themselves.”They love playing, they are committed to playing and they don’t want to lose their starting spot.”But the fans are paying 100 per cent prices and not seeing 100 per cent of the show.”We think there should be a maximum number of games, between 50 and 60 per season, which can vary depending on your age.”But players must not play more than five or six games back to back and they must be allowed a minimum three weeks of complete rest in the summer.”READ MORE SUN STORIESPlayers also have several international fixtures to contend with throughout the season as well as next summer’s new-look Club World Cup.Man City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are among the European sides in line to compete at the tournament in the USA which runs from June 15 to July 13.Changes to the Premier League for 2024/25NOTHING stays the same forever.And that includes the Premier League, which is making a number of tweaks this season.Team news will now be released 75 MINUTES before kick-off, 15 minutes earlier than had been the case before.Things could get crowded on the touchline, with the number of substitutes permitted to warm-up boosted from three players per team to FIVE.There’s also a change to how added time is calculated when a team scores a goal, an update to the ‘multiball’ system and the introduction of semi-automated offsides – but not straight away.Go here to read about all the changes to the Premier League for 2024/25.

      I played under ‘superstitious’ Chelsea manager who always made us do same drill… I still don’t know what Sarriball is

      by

      A FORMER Chelsea defender has admitted he still does not know what Sarriball is after playing under “superstitious” manager Maurizio Sarri.The Italian’s style of play earned the nickname during his single season at Stamford Bridge in 2018/19.Maurizio Sarri’s was known for his ‘Sarriball’ style of play during his season at ChelseaCredit: ReutersThe former Blues boss has been called ‘superstitious’ by an ex-player due to his training ground drillsCredit: PA:Empics SportIt became synonymous with the Italian’s high-tempo passing approach during his time at Napoli before joining the Blues.During his only year in England, Sarri finished third in the Premier League, reached the League Cup final and won the Europa League.However, one of his former Chelsea players has revealed he remains unsure what Sarriball is over five years on.Gary Cahill made the surprise admission during an appearance on John Obi Mikel’s Obi One podcast.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHe told his former team-mate: “It was all just tactical. What is Sarriball? I played it and I still don’t know what it is mate! But he didn’t play me so…”The ex-England defender made just eight appearances under Sarri during an injury-hit final season with the Blues.Cahill went on to discuss Sarri’s approach to training, adding: “It was very stand still. He was a very superstitious manager, very different. “We used to do the centre (kick), set it back to one of the centre-backs, put a foot on it, and you used to just smash it diagonally, like the restart of a game.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS”But you’d work on that every Friday with full international players.”That only needs one session, doesn’t it?

Do we need to do this again?”Sarri returned to Italy following his single season with Chelsea, with spells at Juventus and Lazio, who he left in March.Meanwhile, Cahill later joined Crystal Palace and Bournemouth before retiring in 2022 aged 36.During seven years in West London, the centre-back made 290 appearances and scored 25 goals.He also won eight major trophies including the Champions League and two Premier League titles.Cahill made eight appearances under Sarri during his final season at Stamford BridgeCredit: EPAThe former England defender made 290 appearances during seven years with ChelseaCredit: Getty Images – Getty More

      Leicester question Premier League over VAR decision in Crystal Palace clash – and think WRONG IMAGE was used

      by

      LEICESTER have questioned the Premier League regarding the decision to award Jean-Philippe Mateta’s first goal during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace.The Foxes had led the game 2-0, before being pegged back by the Eagles.Jean-Philippe Mateta’s goal was given following a VAR checkCredit: X @PLMatchCentreIt had initially been deemed offsideCredit: X @PLMatchCentreFollowing a check it was allowed to standCredit: ReutersMateta’s first goal came in the 47th minute, when he prodded home Tyrick Mitchell’s cross from the left.His effort was initially disallowed for offside, before being given following a VAR check.The forward then equalised from the penalty spot in stoppage time.After the game, Leicester boss Steve Cooper raised questions regarding Palace’s first goal.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHe said: “I really want to see the absolute offside image of the first goal.”If it is, no problem, we’ll hold our hands up, but we can’t be calling offsides on suggestions, which is only what we’ve seen at the moment.”We need to get that image quickly off the Premier League. If it is, I’ll accept it.”With Selhurst Park being such a tight ground, there are not the same array of angles that would be available at other Premier League stadiums.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSTwo images were released following the decision to award Mateta’s goal.One showed the moment Mitchell struck his cross, in which it is difficult to see whether Mateta was onside or not. ‘I’d expect a foul’ – Paul Merson claims Arsenal’s winner at Tottenham shouldn’t have stood as VAR fails to interveneThe second, which clearly showed the forward behind the line that was drawn, does not show Mitchell playing the ball.According to the Mail, Leicester feel that the image used to deem Mateta onside may not have been taken from the exact moment in which Mitchell played the ball.Feeling aggrieved, club chiefs have asked for further clarification from Prem bosses.It is not the first time that Leicester and the Premier League have been at loggerheads this season.Earlier this month the Foxes won a huge legal battle with the Prem – thus avoiding a points deduction for Profitability and Sustainability breaches.They were also charged by the FA for failing to control their players last month, following their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.Steve Cooper was unconvinced by the decision to award Mateta’s first goalCredit: Rex More
