We spent a ton of games blooding Iwobi and just as he reached a stage in his development where could possibly break through, we sold him. We will begin the entire process again with Nelson who is a good 150+ games away from becoming a credible option. We will realise just how shit our squad has become, when the games come thick and fast and we have no players to rotate our first XI with.
We only have two strikers in the entire squad and they will both start. We have no wide options to rotate Pepe with, except Mkhitaryan who is certifiably shit and Nelson who is more raw than a can of tuna fish.
If Emery plans to throw the cups, then fair enough. It could work. But if we're starting Aubameyang in a EL game with Mkhi and Ozil behind him. We're going to run out hitman into the ground and for no good reason.
