I have to say that much as I love Teta and what he’s done for this club I think his handling of squad rotation is off. This post has crystallised that for me. Great post. Also spot on about Saka and that goal against Brentford. He absolutely should have squared it and I hope the coaches will be in his ear about it.
True. It’s a difficult period as it is but it will be made more so if Arteta continues to underuse certain players. It’s no good having the ‘deepest squad’ in the league if you don’t properly use it eh?
For a man, obsessed with details abd margins, I can’t grasp how he didn’t pay enough attention to the topic of maximizing chances of best players staying fit for the whole season.
A very good post. So nice i was hoping it won't end.
Thanks a ton for your kind words!

As fans, we can just pray our best players manage to get through these periods without major injuries.

Great post. Well done.
I think your comments about rotation is spot on.
We've lost important players at critical points in past seasons.
Very few players can play every game. So, it's often a question of whether injury or rotation will determine when a player isn't playing.
A lot of times, Arteta lets injuries decide for him.
