Well, last year for sure. The year before we lost the title because we lost Saliba for the last month and a half of the season and our defence went to shambles.
USArsenal Last season we lost our full back for the whole season the the first game and had big injuries to Partey snd Jesus.
Yeah but the bad luck (red cards too) this season has been out of the ordinary.
The most annoying player on the planet is Tomiasyu.
Now with injuries in the back he would be the perfect replacement but wait…
Clrnc we were not lucky
Hope Gabriel isn't out for any period of time. No Calafiori or Tomiyasu to fill in, and although he seems like a nice kid, every time Kiwior comes on, it seems like we lose our composure and concede.
Everyone was moaning in the summer we've got too many defenders and now it suddenly feels like we haven't got enough!
JazzG thing is, keeping guys like Kiwior around to come on in times of crisis hasn't saved us any points yet.
Clrnc I think lucky that our two major outfield players pretty much played most games for sure Ode and Saka barely had any injuries over those couple of years.
awooga83 one or the other was always available for a 4 year stretch. That’s good luck. You need good luck to win titles, especially leagues. Hopefully, it starts to favour us soon. I imagine we are still the best team 11 v 11 in terms of xG90 after today. But you need luck
Coombs so you’d have preferred the alternative of playing Heaven?
Coombs my view is that it's slightly on Arteta. When he doesn't like his toys anymore, he doesn't play them at all and as a result they get thrown on when the situation demands but they're not sharp or match fit. The same is true of Zinchenko too - completely frozen out and therefore of no use
Claudius would we be worse off? Maybe we'd have bought at the top of the pitch instead and scored a winner in one of these draws?
Mirth I agree but it's hard to play Kiwior. We have plenty of options and this season Kiwior probably played more than he should already.
Mirth what makes this annoying to me is that, going by reports, there was actually a market for Kiwior last summer.
Rumours of cruciate for Gabby, but seemingly base on internet doctors. But will await the club commentary
Claudius
Haven’t seen any reports of this and usually I’m sharp.
This sounds more positive
Sicario2 it's posts like these. Not really reports but could give some insight:
QuincyAbeyie
Cheers but pure speculation. Anyone of us could have written that. If true I will follow them moving forward.
I expect timber to be like this for a while. He’s ha to learn how to walk again. So this is normal.
Claudius Let’s hope he doesn’t end up like Diaby or Rosicky
Sicario2 hence why I’m not posting the stuff. It’s internet doctors and chancers.
