There's very little fortune involved with injuries. Maybe tell your manager that he doesn't have to play 100mph every minute of every game?

Remember that Liverpool poster who reckoned we were playing up our injury issues

5th is not so bad when you consider the injuries

Little to do with luck. We buy players like Saliba, Rice, Odegaard and Havertz who are not injury prone, compared to waifs like Kulusevski, Van Der Ven and Maddison. We control games once going a couple of goals up and sit back playing at 80% tempo.

Whereas Spurs just go for it all game and wonder why they get so many injuries

Same for Liverpool. Not surprised they are up there and Kloppo has left a trail of broken players in his wake

Maybe if Arsenal upped their tempo they would have won the league?

Honestly, not even trying to wind you guys up. I remember the latter Wenger days most of our fans would blame "luck" for injuries with the likes of Wilshere, Rosicky, Hleb, van Persie, Nasri and co spending half their time in the treatment room. Nothing to do with luck.

You’re right - Timber had it coming, training was obviously too intense and he was a poor buy as he cannot take the intensity - when will you be selling him?

But the way they were spinning it they by far the highest level of injuries ever suffered by any team in the history of the league.

"Arsenal had most luck but still didn't win the league" on an article that shows City below Arsenal on all but 1 of the charts
😂😂

Top of the league! We're top of the league!

Lots of injuries are due to luck. Collisions with another player, catching studs in the turf, not playing with a cold, flu etc count as injuries

Get Giggsy in until the end of the season.

Spurs were obviously pretty unlucky with injuries but Chelsea, Utd & Newcastle who were all just behind them in the league seemed to get absolutely decimated so you could argue when you look at the bigger picture they might have gotten a little lucky.

Spurs were very unlucky between November to January. Other than that most of the team was available. The teams who appeared to be most affected by injuries were Liverpool, Newcastle, Utd, Brighton, and Wolves.

Whether it’s luck or not, Arsenal’s first team was pretty much injury free for the most apart. Although GT tried to claim they were ravaged by injuries to key players and then proceeded to list Zinchenko, ESR, Viera and Tomiyasu as some of the key absentees

We played a large portion of the season without three of our starters, so while it was dragged out we never had a point of being obliterated like some teams did and luckily other players stepped up and did a decent enough job deputizing.

Which three? Timber was injured fair enough. Partey as well but he seemed to be playing out of position a lot, or not playing at all, even when he was fit.

Timber/Tomi would have started at LB, Partey & Jesus (although by the time he got back Havertz had stepped up and taken his spot)

We played a fair amount of our season with our 4th choice LB, 3rd choice DM and no recognized striker.
