âWe look at each other in the dressing room, we see whatâs around us, and thereâs an atmosphere of winners that we ourselves believe in,â he says. âWe know weâre capable, so why not believe in it? In recent years, things werenât going the way people wanted, the way the players wanted, the way the club wanted. But this year, people are very happy, with that optimism that this is going to be the year.â
The players are optimistic as they should be. We've got the strongest squad in the league, we're top of the table despite a tough run of fixtures and injuries, and our main rivals have looked vulnerable.
Arteta clearly has the whole squad on board. Players like Mosquera feel their role matters, even when theyâre not starting. As long as the results keep coming, I don't see anyone causing issues.
We've got a nice set of fixtures coming up. If we stay focused and don't do anything stupid we should be top at Christmas, hopefully with a bit of a cushion over Liverpool and City.
