That Arteta has played Willian all season doesn`t mean he gets everything wrong you know? I`m pretty critical of Arteta myself but defensively we`ve been pretty decent this season, Holding has done well, Gabriel looks great and Luiz has been solid whenever he has played.
Saliba is 19, played 11 games in total last season and has had a very difficult time on a personal level. Makes perfect sense not to throw him in straight away. Like I said the mistakes here, and it`s a big mistake with big potential consequences, is not getting him a loan in August and then not registering him for the EL. Incredibly poor from Edu and Arteta.

Mate he can end up player of the season for Nice in 6 months and Arteta fan boys will still say he's not ready.

If he is going to be called out for being partly responsible for conceding a goal to omit to mention he was made MOTM in that same game is a bit... mischievous.

There's a narrative? K thought everyone thought it's weird what's happened to him this season

Some people seem to think it's not weird, Arteta thought he wasn't ready to play for us and have misquoted Saliba as agreeing with this and used thos error to justify the decision.
We've been decent defensively at the cost of our offence. At times the man puts 7 defensive minded player on the pitch. That's not improvement, that is fear.
I wouldn't trust Arteta to buy my coffee in the morning, let alone players.

I wouldn't trust him to pour me a glass of water. I don't trust his judgement or whatever criteria he's using to determine that someone like Mustafi deserves more time and energy than Saliba.
I just pray he hasn't alienated or tanked the value of a shedload of prospects by the time he goes.

Mustafi 440 minutes played this season. Saliba 0 minutes played this season. You do the math.
Re Fofana and Evans- Holding and Luiz have enough experience to help Saliba through a match. The Mustafi minutes were a complete waste.

I never bought the idea that Saliba wasn't being played because he was a little rusty. Mustafi was injured for more than 3 months, had no pre-season too but was chucked straight in while clearly lacking fitness when we had some injuries and suspensions at the back. Saliba at least played games in our pre- season. Saliba didn't play because Arteta thought he wasn't ready full stop, not because he was a little short of match fitness.

Had a bad injury that sidelined him for 2.5 months.

I wonder if Mari (LCB) was fit earlier in the season would Sailba (RCB) have got more of a look in? I reckon the idea of Ligue 1 rookie pairing gave Arteta a floppy and he freaked out.
I'm backing Arteta but as expected (for a rookie) he's made some absolute clangers.

You raise a good point, but there's no reason for leaving him out of Europa or the league cup against City which was essentially a free hit and a game he played Runnarson.
Arteta has done some good things but the whole Saliba thing was just poor. Hopefully the lad moves on with his career and a decent club comes in for him this summer.

Uhhhhh no. Hopefully the lad doesn't move on and had a fantastic career with Arsenal.

If half a season with struggling Nice drastically changes how Arteta see's Saliba then I would probably dislike Arteta even more. Just shows his lack of selection was merely pettiness.
My guess is he goes straight back on loan when he returns or the Nice stint gets extended- I'd say he's better off moving on myself.

I say after Saliba gets game time in Nice and comes back mentally and physically ready for Arsenal in summer 2021 and impresses Arteta in training and continues from there.
