Just quoting what their manager has said. You can defend Arteta coaches, the class of Malmo and Brentford and of course Moyes and McClaren's right hand man to your hearts content.

If anything Verheijen criticised Wenger for over training and over playing players.

posted on 15/9/21

"There are six or seven players at Arsenal who are consistently injured for weeks or months every season.

"It tells you something is going wrong at Arsenal in terms of over-training these young players. As a result, their bodies are breaking down.

"If you want to know what exactly is going wrong, you have to be there every day to see what they do.

"From the outside, you can only draw the conclusion something is going wrong."

Seen U23s matches where Reiss 'not good enough for Arsenal' Nelson far outperformed Florin 'why isn't Arteta playing him?' Balogun.

Said so at the time.

you were the OG Balgunner though 🤔
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep. Also bigged up Nelson, Saka, ESR, AMN, Wilshere, Lansbury.

Well aware youth players don't always make it.

Difference with me is, I don't start writing them off if they don't hit the heights straight away.

Do you understand the difference between 'over training' that youngsters sometimes need to not developing them at all.

Probably the key part of the quotation. It was just assumptions.

Two independent sources have now been critical of our coaching standards and even that is somehow not enough to show we need better coaches?

Sounds like Feyenoord are doing the former. Currently have 7 injured first team players, 6 are 22 or under. Including poor Reiss, who has already been flogged to death under the harsh regime.

Nice gesture from Arteta I thought offering Wilshere the chance to try to resurrect his career with us at London Colney.

Just HOPE he doesn't over train him though!

My post was about the quality of our coaches under Arteta not being good enough to develop the undoubted talent we have at Arsenal.

Baloguns brother was critical of the system at Arsenal and Nelson's new coach on the quality of training. Both are the responsibility of our coaches.

Royce Balogun was critical of the first team system of play in terms it doesn't give strikers much chance. Nothing to do with developing players. He even mentioned Auba.
The Feyenoord coaches criticism is questionable given the number of youngsters he currently has unavailable due to fatigue type injury. Only one of them started the season at Arsenal.

Former Arsenal winger David Bentley is the Arsenal Academy graduate. He managed to make one appearance during the Gunners' unbelievable Invincibles season and spent much time in training with all the stars.

And these training sessions were simply brutal - the pressure, the fights - that was the winning mentality of the team. Every training was as serious as a real game and bruises after such sessions were a common thing:

"You don’t realise until you’re away from it.

"Every day training was so intense, it was like a match every day, technically gifted.

"You just slotted in as a young player trying to make your way and fit in.

"But you’d get smashed every day.

"Vieira would smash me every day, Henry, [Giovanni] Van Bronckhorst. "You’d go off with black eyes, there would be fights.

"The worst fight I’ve ever seen, Pascal Cygan and Kolo Toure.
"Trying to get them two off each other was unbelievable.

"It was like 'I’ll leave them to it'.

"But that’s the intensity and that’s the winning mentality.

"And then when you leave and you go to a different club, you think it’s not the same."
