If Arteta had a legendary 32 year old winger like Salah, he would break that player in record time.

He would insist that player run up and down the line like a mechanical hare until their attacking edge is all but blunted.

That's essentially what he did to Aubameyang after he signed the extension.

He's the breaker of hamstrings, like a hammer meeting a nail.

Slot had the sense to realize that Salah need to be kept fresh so he reduced his defensive workload.

I don’t recall a single defensive action by Salah vs Everton in his own half, even when Everton were on top.

People comparing his and Saka’s work load when comparing minutes played are clueless.
