LegoMan complaining about not having a big squad like us:
"There are moments – obviously they managed to do that. They made the subs and the subs made the impact and they managed to change the game,” he said of Liverpool’s win over Brentford.
“In our side it was the opposite…think when you look at the performances, I don’t know how many teams are playing at this level in the league. When you look at the bench you probably say, we are very, very short.”
He does have some talented young players to turn to if he wanted but he put Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, a man who struggled on loan in L2 instead.
I know he has Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri breaking through - two of the talented young players in the country but everything he’s done as a coach show he doesn’t trust young players, just like his mentor Pep.
Not the kind of stats you expect to see from champions-to-be.
Tempting fate here (that’s just what I do ), but they may well finish with more points than anyone else over the course of 3 seasons with nothing to show for it.
What a shit manager Arteta is turning out to be. He was chasing a win and only made one substitute and later on says he envied out depth with our substitutes making a difference.
How his squad and substitutes be feeling. He chose them to sit on the bench, did not bring them on and then envied our bench as if these players on his bench are shite and not trusted. Great manager of morale.
