The congested schedule ahead for the Gunners, including the return of Champions League football, had been the rationale for the Spaniard\u2019s signing.<\/p>\n<p>But starting Raya in their fifth league game of the season? That certainly was not on the cards.<\/p>\n<p>He did not have much to do, fielding just the one shot on target. His sweeper-keeper attributes, though, were clear, finding himself near the halfway line on many an occasion. It\u2019s a quality his manager admires. The clean-sheet will also have done wonders for Raya\u2019s confidence.<\/p>\n<p>It will now be intriguing as to who out of Raya and Ramsdale dons the No1 jersey in the next three weeks, with fixtures against PSV, Lens, Tottenham and Manchester City in that period.<\/p>\n<p>Surely whoever does will be Arteta\u2019s main man in goal for the campaign.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/10\/75550075-12530805-image-a-9_1695030369344.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>David Raya was handed his Arsenal debut by Arteta with the goalkeeper keeping a clean sheet<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/10\/75550071-12530805-image-a-10_1695030373709.jpg\" height=\"398\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The decision saw Aaron Ramsdale dropped to the bench after a long spell as first choice<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/11\/75550405-12530805-Arteta_s_choice_in_crunch_upcoming_matches_will_show_his_prefere-a-4_1695032051053.jpg\" height=\"693\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Arteta&#8217;s choice in crunch upcoming matches will show his preference as Arsenal goalkeeeper<\/p>\n<p><span><span>Fabio Vieira impresses after replacing Kai Havertz\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Arteta is often resolute in his ways. Fan sentiment does not cloud his judgement nor feeling towards players. Havertz was an example of this.<\/p>\n<p>Much noise lingered ahead of the Manchester United game, calling for the manager to drop Havertz. At the same time, Fabio Vieira had been loudly knocking on the door for a place in the starting XI.<\/p>\n<p>Though yesterday showed why dropping the German for Vieira was the correct decision, and why he will play an important role for Arsenal this season.<\/p>\n<p>The first 20 minutes had already seen the Portuguese playmaker at the forefront of the Gunners\u2019 play.<\/p>\n<p>Two of his through balls had been ruled out by offside, the latter having provided for Gabriel Martinelli whose strike was subsequently chalked off.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the match his link-up play came to the fore, which contributed to Leandro Trossard\u2019s winning goal, and stretched the Everton midfield into troublesome areas.<\/p>\n<p>Vieira was lively throughout and has further exacerbated the headache Arteta now has as to how he reintroduces Havertz back into the starting XI.<\/p>\n<p>This will be difficult, with Vieira having performed each time he has been called upon.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters in their droves affectionally signing \u2018Vieira, woahh\u2019, which was heard once again, will only add to the sentiment that he should remain a starter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/10\/75550083-12530805-image-a-12_1695030402573.jpg\" height=\"474\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Fabio Vieira was at the forefront of Arsenal&#8217;s attacking play after being handed a starting role<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/10\/75550085-12530805-image-a-13_1695030408310.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Vieira&#8217;s performance increases the headache for Arteta in how to integrate Kai Havertz<\/p>\n<p><span><span>Knack of winning and not getting frustrated<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The more successful sides in football all share the same characteristic: a knack of winning, regardless of the performance in a match.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal evidently displayed that trait. Their refusal to grow frustrated from misfortune or a lack of shots on goal will only stand them in good stead going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Take the predicament at half-time, for instance. They had enjoyed 78 per cent of the possession but saw Martinelli\u2019s goal chalked off for offside.<\/p>\n<p>There were also a series of challenges which Everton had escaped punishment for. This included Beto\u2019s elbow thudding into Vieira\u2019s face, and Vitalii Mykolenko\u2019s late challenge to clatter Bukayo Saka.<\/p>\n<p>This, alongside the unwanted record of having not won at Goodison Park since October 2017, could have seen the North London club going into the second half feeling sorry for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>This was not the case. Right from the restart, there was a sense Arsenal in their own minds would not leave Merseyside without a victory by any means necessary.<\/p>\n<p>It is why when Trossard\u2019s goal arrived, there was a feeling of an inevitability rather than being grateful.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a ruthlessness that has not always been engrained in Gunners sides of old. How times have changed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/10\/75550609-12530805-image-a-16_1695030779078.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Arteta&#8217;s side refused to get frustrated despite Everton&#8217;s resistance for much of the match<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/10\/75550589-12530805-image-a-15_1695030710859.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal were rewarded for their patience with Trossard&#8217;s winning goal in the second half<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12530805\/David-Rayas-Mikel-Artetas-Fabio-Vieira-Arsenal-Everton.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Raya&#8217;s selection begins the battle to be Mikel Arteta&#8217;s No 1, Fabio Vieira justifies his start over Havertz and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288049,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
