But are you sure it's not just bad luck, Lex?

"We brought new fitness staff in before the season. One of them is a successful fitness trainer that trained our national team before. What's wrong?"

Overplaying players and failing to rotate tired ones, failing to manage players returns from injuries properly, failing to understand and gauge when players are in the red zone.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
How could we rotate when we had 7-8 first teamers out injured.

Pretty sure, Chris.

Good to see you've not got your head buried in the sand GT.

I am not blind mate to see that Wenger made big big mistakes in the summer that cost us.

"2 senior CB's in the squad"

Truly astounding, no idea how anyone can even attempt to defend it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many senior cbs do Chelsea have?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

3 + Zouma which is about perfect. They could probably get away with 2 + Zouma though because of how well they manage injuries.

We really need 3 + Chambers & Debuchy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is the third, Ivanovic? He is their right back
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He's still a proven senior CB though. If he drops into the centre they have Azpi who is a proven RB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so actually chelsea have a total of 5 senior cbs and full backs whilst we also have 5 senior cbs and full backs?

They wouldn't have been out injured had they not been overplayed I suspect.

Injuries are no longer a credible excuse for Arsenal's failings and, to be honest, haven't been for a few seasons now.

Additionally Chambers has not been great at any point this season. At his best he has been exactly what he is, namely a young guy still in the early stages of learning his trade.

And that was at his peak. In the main he has looked like an accident waiting to happen. Which is understandable.

That Wenger has admitted to having over played him tells it's own story.

We have 2 proven senior CB's. Mert and Kos.

We have one proven RB - Debuchy.

Two proven LB's, Gibbs and Monreal.

Behind them we have a completely unproven CB/RB in Chambers.


We can argue about Chelsea all you like, but the proof is right there in the pudding when you look are the respective defensive lineups throughout this season.

How could anyone defend a manager that goes into a football season with SIX defenders in the first team and a terrible injury record to half of themThis Godfather donkey is worse than Robb was with Moyes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why were you desperate for Vermaelen but then didnt sign anyone else when he turned you down. How many senior defenders do you have in you squad? Do you even have 6? You absolute moron

I'll never believe it. No one can be that deluded.

My favourite act of his is when he says things like " I'm sure people who know best about this stuff are tweeting and writing blogs not managing football clubs like AW"

Then proceeds to tweet about his blog.

Jeremy Wilson too?

"In the 11 seasons researched from 2003-4 to 2013-14, Arsenal suffered 312 significant injuries which led to the player being out for 10 days or more. That is exactly 100 more than Chelsea, while Arsenal’s total number of injuries was above the Premier League average in 10 out of the 11 campaigns, including each of the last seven completed seasons. The trend is continuing, perhaps even accelerating, this year."



Just bad luck, lads

Momentum to finish 4th. A few results wont change anything while Wenger's still around. We could have easily lost/drawn today if we had a different linesman.

Well Jeremy Wilson only give you the stats about our injuries in general and that we suffered most of them.

The report says that we have too many muscular injuries and they were preventable based on Raymond Verheijen who is a fitness coach if I am right.
