Arm chair experts telling everyone including highly paid sports science doctors what should be the protocol interms of loading players will forever be hilarious. By people's accounts every team should sack their medical staff because injury ridden seasons happen to teams. Klopp had it, Pep had it, United and Chelsea had massive problems last year and even this year, Spurs couldn't put out a good 11 for months this year. Even Newcastle had issues the past two years.
But, But, But it is only at Arsenal. Miss me with that bullshit.
Okay, then why did Ruben Dias, Ake, Akanji, all have missed a lot of football this season if he rotated his defenders so much?
I am not saying don't criticize Arteta btw. You can. But just admit we have had availability issues this year. And that is why he couldn't rotate key players as he wanted.
He isn't dumb. He knows key players like Saka, Gabriel, Rice, Saliba and even Timber this year have played a bit too much football. But you need quality options and you need availability.
The managers job s to balance the risk and reward. Let's say we didn't play our best player and we pulled off some crap result, would fans still tolerate it?
I saw last season a lot of people crying about Odegaard being subbed off in that Villa home game where we lost the title.
1. How many times the likes of Kiwior, Zinchenko were sitting on the bench the game against not a top opponent, like Leicester?
2. You will always have a quality drop when you don't select your best 11. But it has a lot of benefits - shared load, more players in shape, motivation for competition etc.
3. Manager's job is also to keep players fit and not talk about "genetic freak" when everybody saw your player collapsing on the pitch after the final whistle.
The Leicester game where we won in the last 10 minutes? Has slot subbed off Van Dijk for Quansah in a game they hadn't won by the last 10 minutes?
He subbed MLS for Calafiori, would have done the same if White or Tomiyasu were available on the right side.
I can criticize Arteta on Havertz. That one is fair. We all saw the end of the wolves game. But we also have to admit he was begging for a forward in the window not to play Havertz. He left him out for Jesus to the surprise of many at times this season.
You know funnily enough when teams go through seasons like that they do a deep dive into it and usually change something or hire new whatever so they don't keep making the same mistakes. Meanwhile at Arsenal it's why are complaining and bad luck excuses from dumb fuck fans.
Okay last year, apart from injury prone players like Partey, Zinchenko, Tomiyasu and Jesus, we had a fairly fit squad. Even timber had an ACL which had nothing to do with Arteta. it was the same the year before.
We have had the first season in 3 seasons where this happened. And you thinking Arteta won't look at that is hilarious. You didn't even watch the entire interview, you just qouted one piece of it.
You can't even recognize the difference between the two.
Me saying you don't throw in players from the start after longterm injuries isn't an opinion. It is because I saw doctors and managers in the past talk about it. That is what exactly happened with Saka too. It is protocol. And it isn't my opinion.
You thinking Gabriel was injured because of lodaded minutes is your opinion based on nothing.
An opinion based on nothing? There's literally data literal data that says players now a days are playing more football running more all that shite and you have a manager who's already shown that he doesn't rotate and that players have gone down just this season under his workload. That's not an opinion based on nothing.

If you ever followed Pep and City, he rotates all the time. The only players he didn't rotate were Haaland and Rodri. Guess what? Both are broken now.
But full-backs, centre-backs, wingers, attacking midfielders are being rotated by him constantly.

You say this

He could have started either Kiwior or Zinchenko. That's the definition of rotation.
Also in Leicester game defence was not a problem definitely.

But you were doing just that before the Fulham game with Saka
C'mon, Mr Pot.
