I think they had a couple of weeks where they had quite a few players out at the same time, and that evolved into "we've had loads of injuries this season" when in reality, they've had the same sort of injuries that every other team has to deal with. The real issue is that Liverpool got incredibly lucky with injuries. They had a few, but never to their best players.

Maybe we should be poaching their medical staff? They have done a remarkable job over the past few years particularly with the demands of Bingo-ball. Or maybe just get the same PED's they use?

Declan rice talking out of his arse and the media lapping it up. They haven't got a clue what an injury list looks like.

according to Declan rice

"It's tough. We've done the whole season without five or six of our best players so to do what we've done is unbelievable."

Really? Who are their 5 or 6 best players? I'd say Gabriel, saliba, Rice, partey, saka and then either odegaard or Raya. Don't think there's much controversy in saying that. So let's look at how many games they've played this season and where they rank in most appearances

Gabriel - 42 (8th)
Saliba - 49 (4th)
Rice - 50 (3rd)
Partey - 49 (4th)
Saka - 34 (14th)
Odegaard - 42 (8th)
Raya - 52 (2nd)

So there's only saka that's missed any significant part of the season and either then he's played the same number of games as Ederson has managed this season. Saka aside, their next lowest in odegaard and Gabriel are on 42 games, 8th overall, there's only 3 city players that have made more appearances this season than that in Gvardiol, Bernardo and Gundogan.

So this injury hit season to their best players is a complete and utter myth that's easily debunked.

Ederson, Dias, Akanji, KDB & Foden have missed 30% of games & have had to play in pain in some of the games they have played.

Bobb hasn’t played
Rodri played 2
Ake played 10
Stones played 11

Both Ake & Stones were injured whilst playing.

When you consider all of those listed were injured at the same time along with Kovacic sitting 3rd & in a fa cup final is remarkable.

Fodens actually played the 5th largest number of games for us on 42 same as odegaard and gabriel. Everything else you've said is correct though.

That's astounding. I hadn't really taken that on board. Just checked it — you're right!
I now seriously think we could catch them and overtake them for second spot. Not that it really matters in the big scheme. When you're second, you're second. But it would be fun…

Just noticed that Newcastle also have more wins and goals than the tarquins. Everything crossed for Spuds to beat the Rags and have the boasting rights in North London.

You add Foden to that list, he's missed a lot of games this season
 
What is the problem at Arsenal, the manager/the board/the FANS

I think they have some very good players, even some good enough for Manchester City
Yes, a striker is missing, but saying that, the false 9 works well in the Premier League, well, it does for City and Pep.
