Arsenal Thread - 2022/23

Our strength in depth is a complete myth. We're stacked in CB that's it. No back up for rodri. No left back, etc

With all due respect, no other team has your squad depth…honestly…

Smallest squad of the big 6. We just have a manager that's coached multiple players to play in multiple positions and formations.

Why not? We already know 12 clubs have outspent us over the last 5 years.

We had an 18 year old right back playing left back so our centre half who plays left back can have a rest.

We are hitting form at the right time, players back from injury. I reckon the Arsenal boys arses will be twitching, they’ll keep getting points but they know we’ll get them.

This is the myth that is peddled by media, and now repeated by you.
Our squad is small, however, they are so well trained in multiple positions that losing one key player makes not much difference (although you'd see a grown man cry if Haaland got a knock).
There is a squad cohesion, which comes about from constant rotation. Because you are going to get rotated in a team that fights realistically every season on all fronts.
That is why Pep is the best around at keeping the squad fresh.
It is also why Liverpool are now FUBAR.
If Arteta has learned anything from Pep, this is the most important. There will be injuries, just make sure your team isn't dominated by a couple of players that cannot be replaced in the short term.
To be fair he's done well without Jesus.

Nah we have by far the best depth of squad talent.

We haven’t even got a left back lol

We do, we have five. 2 are centre backs, 1 is a right midfielder, 1 is a right back, and 1 is a left winger ;)
