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.

You say this

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.

He could have started either Kiwior or Zinchenko. That's the definition of rotation.

Also in Leicester game defence was not a problem definitely.
