QuincyAbeyie Not at all - but whatever he does tonight, someone is going to be unhappy. Even on here, the line ups people have chosen are varied, despite the fact that Arteta doesn't actually have that many options to choose from.
I completely agree that the players who have been looking a little cooked recently, a little in the RED ZONE!, should be rested, especially if you're counting on those guys at the weekend (which you probably are) - but I don't think that, as manager of Arsenal Football Club, Mikel can, or should, be thinking that he can just send 11 scratch players onto the pitch and see what happens.
