Sort of. I would say Martinelli looks to be coming into some very hopeful form, despite all the bashing he gets. Trossard tends to look worse when given a start but is still productive. Havertz has scored in seven consecutive matches at home.
With those three players in the mix, looking in a balanced way at a few more of our recent performances than this shit show at Bournemouth and this nothing CL match I didn't even bother watching, I'm not sure we are in crisis just yet.
The right does suck for us without Saka. Nelson is gone, Jesus has gotten himself into a major rut and I have no faith in Sterling so far. White is unsurprisingly less effective without Saka and Ødegaard.
Just have to hope Saka gets back soonest and until he does, hope Arteta makes more use of Nwaneri—including throwing him on against Liverpool if we are still chasing a result after an hour.
It is also going to be a bit disgusting at the weekend because we'll have Saliba, Calafiori and Timber unavailable by the looks.
