Burnwinter even worse than it being a snooze fest is that it’s the third international break just 11 rounds into the league. I think it partly explains why all the teams look so bad. Managers barely have time with their players. Every few weeks they’re gone for ten days to play Nations League

      The constant thresher of international fixtures is bloody stupid. We literally just had the Euros, and that's why all our England players are half broken a quarter of the way through the league season.

      And if it's not that it's sticking the World Cup in Qatar in the middle of the season.

      I am not against international football, but the standard's low compared to the Prem and there's just too much of it. The qualifying matches should be more focused on the year prior to the major tournaments (AFCON, Euros, Copa America, WC etc), not just going on all the fucking time without stopping.

        HomeSteak the bigger issue was that all the other fuckers were always injured (even though we had too many defenders).
        Hope he comes back stronger. I have a lot of time for him

            I'm bloody sorry to hear that about White. Definitely one we've run into the ground but it's a shame it's come to this.

            USArsenal problem is these injuries have knock on effects. These chaps being out forces the others to play incessantly.

              USArsenal Arteta said Tomyiasu went away too try and fix his injury, the guy is done we need to get rid of him

                It's sad - sounds like the injuries are having their toll on his mental health based on what Arteta said. Wonder if his desperation to be fit is indirectly contributing to his inability to overcome his injuries...?

                Worried about us being down to 1 RB with the White and Tomi injuries. Can't expect Timber to be playing every game after the ACL.

                Any chance of us repurposing 1 of our current 5 LBs (Calafiori, Zinchenko, MLS, Tierney, Kiwior LOL) to RB?
