Sorry to butt in but City lost Rodri. Pretty much every other position at City has two internationals to fill it. They also spent 200M in January. Arsenal lost Saka so nobody was scoring. If Arteta was a top coach, he would have motivated the squad to step up. He’s now desperate to buy the title
Odegaard, Saka, Havertz, Gabriel, Merino, Calafiori, Jesus all missing 10+ games but sure a little motivation is all that was missing for Mikel Merino to score 30 goals up top 🤣🤣
Out of that list, who would you say are your star players though: the REAL game changers? Every team has injuries. Only Arsenal feel the need to throw their injury list out as an excuse. You got dryhumped by LFC because you couldn’t score goals. Now you’ve got Gyokeres and Eze, that might change
This is a great example of how the internet is making people stupid: no one is allowed to provide, facts, context or discussion points to a topic The truth is, if you can’t see or understand how injuries impacted Arsenal’s season, you’re admitting to not having much depth of thought. Which is ok 👍
When you resort to calling people stupid because you posit a weak argument that they disagree with, then I’m afraid you prove your first point, albeit unintentionally. Injuries impact every team. The fact is that you simply don’t know how Arsenal would have done. Speculation is not fact.
When VVD got hurt Liverpool squeezed in the top 4 only thanks to an Alisson goal lmao
When VVD was subject to GBH in full view you mean? Also why ‘only’ thanks to Alisson? The guy is a fucking hero don’t get me wrong but everything else up to that point didn’t count? Sit down ya clown
Doesn’t matter what happened to VVD and it’s “only” because that was an incredibly improbable thing to happen getting a goal from your GK. Only clown here is your getting your feelings hurt
It’s not improbable when a 6’5 elite professional footballer goes up for a corner and heads it in. Happens every day. My feelings aren’t hurt at all. We are champions of England. Want me to describe to you how that feels? Haha
Seems to be a need to be loved hankering by a lot of Liverpool fans
I’m one person. Could you provide some evidence to back up your gibberish?
It’s pretty clear you feel mostly insecure about admitting that there’s luck with injuries involved in winning a title. Haha
Nope. Not having it. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that. Especially in hindsight. The fact that Arsenal couldn’t manage more than one goal a game or close out games where they had a lead were far more relevant. The fact that you’ve bought Gyokeres and Eze is telling.
injuries only matter when it’s “It Means More FC”
I’ve not said that or even implied it. I accept that they are part and parcel of football. You’re showing your true face with that last bit though.
So you’re saying I’m correct in asserting that Arsenal were hit harder by injuries than Liverpool last season?
Yeah but what you said was really stupid to be fair
If you’re not able to look at the injury records last season and draw the simple conclusion that injuries hit Arsenal harder than Liverpool there’s really no point discussing Was it the whole story? Of course not. But to believe that injuries impact everyone equally is intellectually limited
