Don’t be an idiot. How on earth is Arteta to blame for injuries? “Destroying his entire front line” now that is hilarious BS.

This isn’t 1960 mate. These players are athletes, wired up to data streams analysed by specialist medical professionals. It is their job to manage load and asses a players fitness. But you think Arteta does that, and it’s all his fault someone does an ACL or over extends?

The ignorance on social media is quite something. Honest I read stuff I find impossible to believe someone can post with a straight face. You probably think he drives the coach too.

How then you explain Bayern Munich medical staff complains on Guardiola ignoring their advices?

Is this an actual wind up take or just insulting DB10 because you have an axe to grind?

Seriously, wtf is with your post too??

Everyone on the medical staff says yes to Arteta, everyone!

Top, top class athletes just went pop, are having possible career ending surgeries after not ever have had a bad injury, all the while playing 2-3 years straight with world flop, euros, and Cups thrown in, and their national teams playing them non-stop too.

If you watch any other sports other than futbol, you would know that teams rest players in the NBA, NFL, MLB or any other sport with a brutal schedule that makes their respective owners and associations wealthy at the expense of the players.

Get real mate.

What a take , Kai gets injured in a practice session, others get injured playing and Arteta is responsible? San is right , these are professionals, earning huge amounts of money to play max of two matches a week, backed by professionals like physiotherapists, psychologists, doctors et all.

They were supposed to be recovering in Dubai, not working on press drills.

Go look up how many games our stars played in the last 2-3 years with 0 rotation and get back to us!

Hilarious. You made up that crap to suit your anti-Arteta agenda didn’t you? This is what I hate most about online fans, the absolute lies and false narrative like this.

Going to be kind.

Let your eyes help you see.

Go back to the game where Partey tore his thigh muscle and started to walk off the pitch and Arteta ran over and pushed him back onto the field injured.

Case closed, next...

Not sure why you’re being so abusive. I’ve worked in football it really isn’t as black and white as you think it is. It’s easy to be a hindsight specialist and point the finger if you don’t have the knowledge to understand reality. Injuries are part and parcel of elite sport, which is why there are so many medical people & data analysts. Blaming Arteta for all the injuries is ridiculous, ignorant nonsense.

So you don't think he broke Saka by playing him non-stop for 3 seasons ((as have England?! You really are a AKB WUM. No-one cares if you've "worked in football", you've shown you know SFA. Justify all the times Arteta has unnecessarily played Saka, like when he brought him on for 30 minutes when we were 3-0 at Preston?! What a jerk.
