So, the subs thing... I agree, it's frustrating, but also, look at what Arteta has to work with in the attacking subs department.
Do you trust any of them to make a positive impact? And for the first two, is it responsible to bring them on in that game state, given their age?
I hear you but he absolutely could've and should've brought on Nwaneri earlier. Even in the previous couple games. Since Saka got fit, he's become a bit part and we need him match fit and in form.
Nwaneri, yes, that's the only one I can agree with. Especially when our attackers visibly started to tire.
hey now he also had Tierney and Zinchenko as an attacking sub /j
I know you're joking but hopefully we replace both with real options in the summer.
Zinchenko's contract expires next summer, so we need to sell him immediately or he's a Bosman. We know Tierney is leaving so I'm sure we'll pick up more left backs. Sometimes I genuinely don't understand how we have all of these injury problems.
I think we're actually okay at left back now and with Berta in, Arteta can't keep giving in to that addiction. Plus, let's be honest, Myles has made that position his own.
We do need one more defender though. Backup for Saliba, or otherwise general versatility man. Basically Tomiyasu but actually available. If Tomiyasu becomes available we could also just keep him but...
Just one more left-back, bro, I swear, we just need one more
Zinchenko actually is not a bad shout, but do you also have faith that he'd retain the ball? Methinks PSG would have nicked it off of him time and time again.
I don't think either of them would have done much and that's coming from the local Tierney stan lol
Like if anything you do it just so merino goes up top instead of tross
But Trossard is also our most natural finisher, so you need to keep him on in case he scores out of nowhere
I think Tierney would have gotten sent off, frankly.
