The athletic journalist always want to write the dumbest thing
Not every club has oil money,115 charges and can have 100m grealish on the bench
:'
As an Arsenal fan, I think we need more top players to create depth. When you're fighting for the title, you pick only the best from the market.
Burn out with 3 games left?
Arsenal has enough depth in the squad, just lacking the trust of Arteta.
I don’t think it will happen for several years, it’s a short term plan to get a core group of young Arsenal players to a certain level after which other high level options will be signed to bulk up the squad. long term the people not playing now will likely not have Arsenal careers much longer.
An example is If Saka is already used to 60 games a season, imagine how fresh he will be when we start trying to win all 4 trophies and he has a rotational option who can also play to a very high level at RW.
Saka and Rice are gonna be dead next season
I completely agree with this one. This is the problem that I’ve been having with Arteta
If they get burn out now, that means City win the title. It used to be 3 teams competing, is now only 2. Please go all the way Arsenal🙏❤️🔥
Crazy how arsenals players haven't burned out so far, it was only a matter of time before they did and well we're all waiting
I wish Viera was given more time on the pitch, I think hes got quality. Solid rotation option for Odegaard.
Quality players ❌
Quality manager ✅✅
City is so good at rotating players, even when there’s a drop in quality amongst the subs they’ll still do it
This has been a problem for many years with top clubs being in 4 or 5 competitions and they never complained back in the day, yet they do now, and players don’t train as hard as they were 15-20 years ago as they’re only aloud to run a certain amount of km. This makes me laugh though as players nowadays have access to better facilities and personal chefs and things like that and they complain still complain about the schedule. I don’t see what the problem is, especially when you earn over 100k a week. Just shut up and get on with it
I have said this since the start of the season.
Saliba is one of 5 players in the Premier League who have played every minute for their team, 3 of them are GK, the other one is Max Kilman. Saliba is the only one who plays for a TOP 10 team…
We are building a squad like city’s, minus the 115 you-know-what
why don't you do this with Manchester United maybe it explain something
More irrelevant nitpicking Content on Arsenal….i am sure there must be something else you can find about Arsenal to nitpick at.
surprising rodri isnt the 1 player for city
The issue is like me when i buy a new pair of jeans, i buy them to get more rotation oit of the ones i got but then i favour the new pair and an older pair doesnt get worn anymore lol
why would this matter with only 3 games left., this would have been relevant if we spoke on all competitions and before they exited UCL
Its always around Christmas where you see how much of an advantage City have over the rest of the league cause of how insane the schedule is around then, and they pretty much alternate lineups every game while the other teams are knackered
A lot of City's success relies on player rotation. Pep is really good at it. His playing squad very rarely looks out of sync.
“We formed a capitalistic break away league three decades ago and we still struggle to win it, someone else has more money, pity us, please”.
How did Alvarez clock 86%? I know Haaland and KDB have been injured some time and he sort plays as jack of all trades, but still. He's supposed to be a sub!
Evidently not lol
I honestly don't get why there are just 2 city players.
I can think of 115 reasons why City aren't at risk of burnout…
Yet here we still are 🫡
I'm talking slide tackles baby!
As a United fan I clearly saw last year that Arsenal lost the league due to burnout, and I cheered for them to win it because I'm fed up of City becoming the new Bayern/PSG/Juventus of the Premier League, I love change.
They have paid the ref and var
Mention City's 115 charges challenge (impossible)
They will probably burn out after the euros effecting the start of next session
Since only 1 Liverpool player this season then what is their excuse? Players back in the 80s didn't complain so much
We need more squad depth
Next Season
How com Alvarez get so many minutes???? 💀
Its going to affect them at the NLD today
I hate how the Athletic completely sports washes Manchester City. A financially doped squad is able to rest their players more than Arsenal? You don’t say!
Elneny, Nketiah, Nelson, Smith-Rowe, Viera, Soares, and perhaps Zinchenko and Jesus as well.
Arteta knows that he can't trust them. Agreed. But why keep them in the squad then? Just offload them and add meaningful squad depth.
