Think Arteta has yet to learn the art of rotation and that ultimately cost us. The likes of Nelson, ESR even Vieira are expected to come in on the back of very few minutes and win us games. For example, Vieira had just 9 minutes in the 4 games before he had to start. He hasn't been seen since. The squad management has been poor, and costly with the injuries we picked up in cup competitions that should have been secondary to us.

Agree.

Kiwior got fouled but what the fack was that defending

McAllister is Liverpool bound

Squad rotation surely cost us but also some players lost a bit of form and with the injuries especially to Saliba we couldnt handle it.

Would should be after Mitoma and Caicedo

Yup think so. He also hinted recently that he wants that move as well. Would take Caicedo in a heart beat.

Why did they lose form though? Probably fatigue.

Also correct and maybe carrying niggles.

Saka is a clear example of mental and physical fatigue

Should have been rested in February

Eddie will save us

He has been sheet as well

Losing Saliba in a game we still went out if Europe for was a vibe

The worst part is the injury was for nothing, still got bantered on the night

Tomi as well?

That shows that we need to do everything right in the summer transfer market, Crouch.

We fell short at the wrong time yet again.

On the other hand our process needs to continue. Today we saw we are still in it. We maybe ahead of schedule. We also knew there will be setbacks. Today we suffered from a big setback.

What I have seen over the last few months is that a lot of players have dropped of in terms of performances

Only 2 players that have turned up when it mattered were martinelli and Odegaard.

One of these 2 should be our player of the se

We've won 13 of our 18 home league games this season which isn't really good enough to win a league title, especially against this Man City team so that is something that will need to improve on next season as well as maintaining our decent away form.

And next to fack all clean sheets

Especially at home we really need to improve. We conceded way too many goals at the Emirates.

Apparently Wolves have kept 10 clean sheets at home and we have only managed 3

You look at our defence and then you see what city have at the back.

Walker is a better right back or CB than any of our defenders, even at 32.

They then have Rodri who is a master at the DM position.

These are the areas where we have to close the gap

Walker is not a better CB than Saliba/Gabriel. He’s not even first choice for City anymore, he’s only playing cos Ake is injured and Stones was rested.

The obvious gap is that they have a player like Walker to call on and we have your man Holding as our back up

Walker is still up there and has started a lot of games. He is powerful and quick and hardly gets beat as a Rb or CB. He is as good as our CB
