This is peak Arteta. Goes for broke to secure second with extremely strong team, loses the game, keeps his best players on far too long… all while PSG rest 8 players. Worst of all worlds today. Should have gone for a bench warmer 11 and made peace with the outcome. - ThreadSky

EXACTLY. No one would have cared with KT, zinny, Sterling watching a boring 0-0 creating fuck all. We know it all makes sense. That was diabolical. Two tough games to go, we could literally drop down to 4th-5th if we’re not careful with our run in.

dmvgooner.bsky.social•11 days ago

I dont even think we wilk be 5th. If Villa wins all and we lose all, we finish 7th

Can we get a bonus therapy session before Wednesday?!!

legrove.bsky.social•11 days ago

Haha, we’ll do a bonus pod tomorrow or Monday after the press conferences. Jacob locked for OTW

If Arteta really cared about a result today, he doesn’t sub off Saka & Rice.

grumpy-bob.bsky.social•11 days ago

Weve got nothing left to rotate with.
Unless we’re playing 18yr olds who’ve never started and chucking the game 0-4

With the way that we were rusty it was the right decision but him waiting till the 80th minute for subs was bizarre.

Arsenal not guaranteed top 5 as far as I'm aware. Lose to LIV and NEW and your position is looking precarious to say the least.

Every season our squad is broken down and running on fumes at the end when it counts, Arteta never learns

stuart91.bsky.social•11 days ago

Nothing to do with Arteta. The lax defending this last couple of months is all on players who have tuned out.

ceruleansquid.bsky.social•11 days ago

Here's the issue - what would you be sitting here saying if Arteta had brought on academy kids to get obliterated by Bournemouth 5-0? You certainly wouldn't be saying it was a smart move by him.

I love Arteta, but his blind spot about subs is awful. I agreed with the lineup, but when it became clear that the team stopped real pressing it became time to make all of the subs right away.

Resting players is what happens when you don’t have seven injuries.

parminder-p.bsky.social•11 days ago

Totally agree. Awful line-up from the gaffer, didn’t read the room at all

nedmerrillswims.bsky.social•11 days ago

100% agree. This game meant nothing. Losing it while resting half the team wouldn’t have mattered. Instead we lost while also exhausting our very thin group of core players. Ridiculous.
