Didn’t think Brighton were very good. Nor were Arsenal. But Hurzeler had so many forwards to hurl at the problem from the bench. Arsenal’s were injured and ill. Yes it’d look better with availability but this is a squad with about as many left back options as final third options. Rebalancing a must.

You can’t run a transfer strategy around the stomach flu.
Now, relative to the cups and squad depth more generally I think it’s a legit concern.
What other teams can lose players like Ode, White, Saka, Kai, and still have players like we have as depth?
Today, for me, isn’t the day to use re: squad building critique.
Allison
Bradley
Konate
VVD
Robertson
Gravenberch
Jones
Elliot
Diaz
Jota
Nunez
We’ve had terrible luck, yes, but we gambled with our squad and it’s failed
Today we were nothing if not beleaguered. I couldn’t script it much worse.
No Saka no Havertz no White no Timber a sick Odegaard and a sick or less than 100% Martinelli.
*I guess Sterling too but yeah come on now
