ARSENAL fans are all saying the same thing after losing to Everton.
That’s by begging Mikel Arteta to rest two key players for their upcoming game against Brentford.

The Gunners were left stunned on Saturday as they crashed to a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park.
Regular heroes like Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were unable to make an impact against Sean Dyche’s side.
And Arsenal only kept their five-point lead at the top of the table after Man City lost 1-0 at Spurs yesterday.
Supporters are now treating the Everton defeat as a one-off event.
But many are keen for Arteta to start utilising his squad depth to avoid another upset this weekend.
Arsenal welcome Brentford to the Emirates on Saturday, with the Bees unbeaten in their last nine games.
And fans reckon Gabriel Martinelli and Ben White both need to be rested after below-par performances on Merseyside.
One said: “Hopefully he gives White and Martinelli a few days off, they look knackered.”

Another declared: “Start Tomiyasu over White and Trossard over Martinelli.”
One noted: “Tomiyasu has to start against Brentford, White has been dead last two games.
“Rotation is needed, as well as Trossard over Martinelli.”
Another added: “It might be worthwhile to give Martinelli a rest, White looks like he could use a break also.”
Following the Brentford game, Arsenal face a huge test in defending champs Man City.
They then travel to Aston Villa and Leicester before hosting Bournemouth in early March.
