Squad Analysis 2025/26

@Rasmi

What do you expect when bunch of Spaniards run your club

 

[Kuroske]

We have the best defence, they have the best attack. It’s as simple as that. Who wins the league will probably just come down to which team picks up fewer injuries to key players and retains the same starting XI the most.

Attack wins you matches, defense wins you titles.

@Rasmi

This is pretty much why I have no connection to or like Arsenal anymore...

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

We should be challenging on multiple fronts. This is insane squad depth. Dowman isn’t even in this graphic

A league and cup double please Uncle Mikel.

Slightly irks me how they Arsenal A and Arsenal B the wrong way round on the teams, but yeah quality depth.

Yeah that bit did my head in too. As well as Martinelli starting for our first XI but we move.

"Zubimendi you are an excellent player who just won the Euros for his country, but we want you to really learn the ropes from Nørgaard this season!"

What this diagram fails to account for is the 95% probability of team A and B players being simultaneously injured.

Don't we have a combined Timber+White injury issue right now? (I'm hoping that's wrong)

We’ll always have injuries. Fortunately for us the stand ins are of a higher quality than previous years. Once upon a time Rob Holding coming in for Saliba killed our season.

Timber is okay, he hasn’t played a lot for Netherlands over the international break either. White hopefully will be back for Forest.

 

[avenellroad]

A 4-3-3 doesn’t get the best out of this squad of players. 4-2-3-1 with Rice and Zubimendi in the double pivot just seems a much better fit.

 

[Steps]

I drink every time hear Double Pivot.

This just shows how much we've wasted funds this summer.

Why?

Why?

In drinking games, when somebody says a certain word or phrase everyone takes a drink.

 

[OnlyOne]

I tend to agree with @Heavy Duty Rom feels we spunked a lot of money unless Gyokeres or Eze step up.

(I don't know how more people aren't seeing it)

 

[Entropics]

People have seen it, they just don't act as if Arteta wasting a lot of money in 2025 is a big discovery. If anything Arteta's supporters want us to greatly outspend City and Chelsea in order for us to have a chance.

Profile wise I like a lot of what we did, but the names aren’t ones your write home about.

That being said big names aren’t everything but you’d have still felt with £300M we could have dropped out a player or two and got a big name one.

We’d also say we spunked 300M if we got Rodrygo instead of Noni and Hicapie and Rodrygo went on to suck and we picked up injuries.

 

[Red London]

As I mentioned a few times we have taken a big gamble with Gyokeres. We will have to see how this pans out.

Eze is certainly going to add quality to this side, albeit not being the pure 1on1 pacey LW we needed.
