Jota is our main striker yes. I mean it only takes one injury for one week to refute your claim of ”full availability all season”, and we’ve had long absences for starters plus shorter ones to starters as well as long ones to squad players. Gakpo, Curtis, Konate, Gomez, Harvey, Chiesa, Bradley etc - ThreadSky

Ah okay, you’ve taken a literal interpretation of “full availability”. I feel like there is implied exaggeration in OP’s post which is pretty easy to infer.

I don’t think there had even been a full available squad in any competitive sport in the history of ever lol.

Yes there is extreme exaggeration. Both in terms of our availability as well as our opponents’ depletion. Which is why I thought it was satire. But fits very well with Arsenal fans rhetoric on social media.

I am not sure how we can exaggerate our depletion lol our core players have been or will be out for months.

steahl.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was not the exaggeration. Arsenal was not even mentioned.

nashii95.bsky.social•3 days ago

??? Quite literally the first two sentences of the post I responded to. Or are you talking about the exaggerated depletion of different opponents LOL

steahl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Please tell me where Arsenal is mentioned?

Like when we faced you. We had more players unavailable, but you had the ”injury crisis”

nashii95.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not sure about injury crisis but we did have two integral players out vs your one? Looking at the team that drew us at the Emirates, the core looks pretty much like the team you have all season no? Salah is there your midfield, CB partnership, trent as well.

We missed Jota and Alisson. That is two key players. That we have better backups/better at coping with changes is not luck. Sure you have been unlucky with all the attacking injuries recently but it’s not like we’ve had extreme luck, we’ve had similar availability like you’ve had previous seasons.

Is jota even a starter? Thought he was just a bench warmer.

I didn’t say anything about having better backups nor have I been talking about bench warmers or fringe players.

Your core players bar Allison have been healthy pretty much the entire season. Now that IS luck.
