De Zerbi talks up Brighton chances against Arsenal “We will show our quality”

Optimistic Arsenal fans, after the wins against Chelsea and Newcastle, believe the Premier League title race is still on. Why would anyone else think otherwise? It is just Manchester City dropping six points in their next four fixtures, and boom! Arsenal win the league.

As Arsenal wait for the Citizens to drop points, they, on their part, need to be winning. After beating Chelsea and Newcastle, Arsenal have Brighton up next for them. After Manchester City and Newcastle, the Seagulls are the other tough teams to beat.

Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea have all faced the wrath of this Roberto De Zerbi team. While Arsenal plans to dispatch them, collecting their third win in their last five games, Roberto De Zerbi has other plans. The Italian saw his team lose 5-1 to relegation-threatened Everton on Monday night. That loss didn’t go well with him, and after the game, he sent a warning to his next opponent, Arsenal, saying (as per Football London):

“I think on Sunday (vs. Arsenal), we will show our quality and be back to playing our style,” said De Zerbi. “You will see the true Brighton.”

Brighton may have plans to impede Arsenal’s title charge, but I doubt they’ll succeed. Arsenal will turn up for that game and look for a big, fat win, considering what’s at stake, and taking into account Brighton’s injury crisis. Hopefully, as Arsenal do that, Everton will use the momentum from their 5-1 win over Brighton to stun Manchester City at Goodison Park.

All we can do right now is keep our fingers crossed!

COYG!!!

  1. Sam, without wishing to seem weakhearted, it has to be said that Brighton must not be taken lightly. De Zerbi is a manager who isn’t usually wrong in his assessments or indeed about anything he says. I think he is already a heavy duty manager and genuinely talented. He looks a bit scary as well. Surprisingly though, the Everton game was a shocker. Brighton lost to Forest the other day, so what did Di Zerbi do ? For the next match he benched Mitoma and MacAllister to teach them a lesson and Brighton duly walloped Wolves 6-0 without those two stars. So we should be confident without assuming it’s going to be easy. Caicedo will probably be at his best in order to show us what we probably already know.

    1. Well De Zerba did say Mydryk is a future Ballon d’Or , maybe the jury still out on that one.

      Now that our mentality is back intact a fat win is anticipated as the writer rightfully stated.

      1. Hang on a minute, where have you been all day?
        I woke up – Checked JA – no Gunsmoke.
        I worked out – Then checked JA – no Gunsmoke.
        I went for my daily walk – Then checked JA -no Gunsmoke
        I did my shopping – Then checked JA – no Gumsmoke
        Nearly got the police involved(Missing Persons Bureau). Now here you are.
        I feel confident about the match actually, but just warning everyone it’s going to be close, imo

        1. Evgunner, trust me have been trying to post a couple comments for some time now , but that one seems to be the first that went through , not sure what is happening.

          Can you tell me please, what’s the Ev in your name stands for, just curious, know the E is not for the Emirates, neither V for Van Persie as he’s not a true gooners 😂

          1. Gunsmoke, I thought you were constantly on this site and that you would therefore by now know my first name as it’s come up a couple of times previously. EVERTON.
            Not uncommon for people of a certain age who have Caribbean connections.
            As I told Marge the other day, Brazilians have also adopted that name in the last thirty years or so. Believe it or not there are 187,000 Brazilians with Everton as a first name, and not all of them are even male ! There were two Everton’s in their last Copa America squad and even a Weverton (the goalie). A couple of years ago there was talk that Everton Robeiro might be coming to Emirates, but it was probably just rumour. So that’s the story of my name. I’m not a spy from Merseyside though. I am a Gunner who lives in south London..

            1. This one is a rare miss, very interesting connection.

              I too have a Caribbean connection my mother and i were born in the Carribean island of Jamaica though my Father is Brazilian.

              I know Everton Ribeiro he use to play for Flamingo in Brazil

              Never for a minute assume you were a spy tho.

              1. Realised you were of a darker hue yesterday when I read your patois. Brazilian dad is unusual. I was born in St.Lucia, but came here as a baby. I’m still a baby in some ways.

  2. Sorry to nit pick but it’s only 5pts city need to drop not 6.
    12 available drop 5 leaves 7, 82 + 7 means they can get 89pts
    We can get 9pts 81 + 9 means we get 90pts

  3. Brighton are a dangerous team with talented players and a good work ethic. I will take a flukey win over a good performance. A deflected own goal and a soft penalty would do us nicely assuming KT can play and keep them down to one goal. Pl do not pick Zinchenko. He is not a LB.

    1. IGL, On Sunday a bloke on this site called me an insulting name because I said Zinchenko was a joke.

      1. For EG
        Some people cannot bear any criticism of the manager or their favourites. Because they are unable to counter the statements with a valid argument they resort to name calling.
        The same thing happened to me recently and to GAI.
        Fortunately, I am old enough and thick skinned as a result.
        I will say the same thing I said to GAI. Chin up and keep posting on your beliefs.
        I always enjoy reading different perspectives.
        We do not have to agree but equally do not have to insult each other as all here are AFC supporters and want what is best for the team.

        1. IGL, Admin Pat saw the insult and put the culprit into “moderation” (punishment). Yes it’s sad that some people can’t express themselves in a better way. Cowards who wouldn’t dare say it to our face in the real world. To be honest I’ve always avoided “social” media like the plague, but I have to confess experiencing some good giggles on Just Arsenal. You are one of the good guys.

          1. Thanks EG
            There are many good guys here on JA even when I vehemently disagree with them.
            Just a handful of people who are very immature and they are on steep learning curve.
            That is why I end up posting my views regardless of what people think.
