@gatocabron49@PSGNJ1@Bd_irB_ll You're right, injuries definitely a factor.
Still, if Rice/Saka/Gabriel/Timber/Gyokeres/Saliba had played a similar number of games that PSGs main guys have, Arsenal would be down in 6th fighting for a UCL spot for next season.
PSG still walk the league in second gear.
@Shamsdale Can't get my head around that way of thinking.
You couldnt present a single realistic scenario in which I would happily say "fine, I dont wan't us to win this league".
@Niyi_23 Win first, worry about the style of play later. It's been 22 years.
It's clear that he has adapted the team to try and win this league by any means.
If we win the league this season, i'd be open to talking about style next. For now all I want is the title.
@PeakSxnti It's clearly an advantage.
Chance to have a 12 point lead and put pressure on City before they go to Chelsea.
The people complaining about this would also be complaining if we played second this weekend.
@panks_79 Because you guys are soft.
Players see they've got Tottenham next and know they've got a chance. Get an early goal and the fans will turn, and the players heads will drop.
@SomaliaNGooner1 Because Arsenal are a team.
Every week it's a different player who steps up. If it's not Gyokeres it's Saka. If it's not Havertz it's Eze.
Same at the back.
Arsenal don't rely on one player to win. That's why they've stayed strong despite injuries this season.
@Chels1an@Bd_irB_ll It's a huge factor.
Marquinhos has played more minutes in the Champions League this season than in Ligue 1 π€£
Neves/Doue/Dembele/Marquinhos/Hakimi/Mendes havent played 20 league games yet and it's mid April.
Gives them a massive advantage over Prem teams.
@PSGNJ1@Bd_irB_ll It's the lack of accumulative fatigue that makes a big difference.
Marquinhos has played as many UCL games as Ligue 1 games.
Neves has only played 4 more Ligue 1 games than UCL.
PSG are the best in the world, but they have the luxury of resting players that Prem teams dont.
@SebOnFootball Players get up for Tottenham because they know how soft you are.
Especially when they know your fans will start booing as soon as you go behind.
@davina_thfc Being bigger than Wolves is not the flex you seem to think it is.
When you're playing in the Championship next season you'll be the main character too.
It's what happens when you spend like a title challenger but end up in a relegation battle.
@imzispoms Goes for a lot of their big players. Look at the league games they've played this season.
Neves - 15
Doue - 18
Dembele - 17
Marquinhos - 11 (UCL game also 11)
Hakimi - 15
Mendes - 19
Prem teams just can't do this and expect to compete.
@EGTVEgal Toughest league in the world and its not even close.
Arsenal/City/Liverpool are playing Forest and Palace as our "easy" fixtures while PSG can rest players for half their games and still win the league.
Neves has 10 apps in the UCL this season, but only 15 in Ligue 1 π€£
@Carefree_Jam You'll never guess where Bayern's front 3 came from.
One from the team in 14th, and another from a team currently fighting relegation.
The other was sold by Liverpool because they rated Cody Gakpo higher.
Send Mitoma to Bundesliga and he gets double figures goals + assists.
@EscaladeIQ@McFlybowy Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Martinelli have all done the same this season.
But i'm seeing England fans who don't want Gordon in the squad, and Arsenal fans who want Martinelli out.
@Omahh_11 Without Haaland, Donarumma, Semenyo and Rodri, Man City will be sitting 8th in the table.
Without Bruno, Mbeumo, Cunha and Lammens, Man Utd will be sitting 8th in the table.
