Those tables are clear as you say, Arteta’s been lucky. Imagine an injury to Jesus, like happened to Cazorla in 15/16 . . losing your best player in November. Still Arsène finished 2nd even with the worst injuries in the league. We’d have to see if Arteta could do the same.Those tables seem pretty clear.
We have been largely injury free for most of the Arteta era yes. If a midfielder goes down and suddenly our form turns to **** it's on us not caring enough about the midfield, a point plenty of people still regularly make.
It's not the only area we're brittle but it's the one we saw last season with people incorrectly blaming Partey getting injured as a cause of losing top 4.
