This is the final hurdle Arteta needs to master: balancing rotation to keep your studs reasonably fresh for the home stretch. Saw some stat that City and Liverpool have one player who has played more than 28 PL matches; we have six.
Squad is still too thin. Too many “squad players” who can’t be trusted to win a match when a first XI player is rested. Resulting yet another overcooked first XI. Which results in yet another April swoon.
This is our strongest side at the moment. Feels like the season hinges on this. A result boosts morale and then who knows. Lay a turd, and, well... I'm a bag of nerves, but still, but always...
LFG, Gunners. LFG
This. I was a few mins into Ep 1 when The Wife (no pics) walked past & got intrigued. She has no knowledge of the Fallout universe outside of whatever glimpses she has of me playing the games over the years and is enjoying the series.
Looks like someone didn’t realize that Villa are playing in the Conference League not the Europa League….
Of course Emery’s going to go balls-out for 4th; winning Conference only gets them in Europa next year, not a CL berth.
Oh, the dudes on the Arsecast pod mentioned that apparently Gabriel Jesus is playing through a knee injury that will need surgery after the season; he may be limited to 30-min cameos from here out.
We'd best have gotten those CL nerves out of our system. Plenty of ass out there. Acknowledgment to Bayern who had a role in that ass.
Can't be any hangover from this. We have two extra days of rest more than Villa, who play Thursday; will be interesting to see how Emery plays it. They're level with Spurs (who have a match in hand w/ City). Does he prioritize finishing 4th, or go for it in the EL?

Hard to tell from this angle, but maybe if he stays up and fires a shot instead of trailing his leg....
Ah well shit. Football fucking fuck hell.
