The reality is Arsenal does not have the squad depth to fight on 4 fronts. The ghost of seasons past has threatened our campaign already with near miss injuries to big players. Arteta made a very specific choice today that CL and PL were the fronts he wanted to fight on... and he knows if he beasts his best players and they break, it's over for him again. I make him right. Criticise the back-ups, but don't lose faith in the team with the best UCL league record who sit top of the Prem with most goals and best defence. Declan, Timber, Zubi, Calafiori, Hincapie, Gyokeres, Saka, Saliba, and Raya make a difference. All to play for. Today was bad, but our core was missing. If they're back for CL, we're gonna take both the remaining comps to the wire.

its quite astonishing the negative effect that Gyokeres has had on this football club
