Knight Barida Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 The week had two English football giants, Manchester City and Arsenal, being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively. While Manchester City can hold their heads high for a good display, Arsenal fc had the game in their hands and lost it. Do you think the Arsenal players need to draw strength from somewhere or what exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I think Arsenal's main problem is quality squad depth. You can clearly see that most of their main players look really tired having to play nearly every game and they play a high-intensity brand of football so it takes a toll over the season. Arsenal's first team starters are quality but they don't have the quality in depth like Man City does. Pep can rotate his starting 11 and won't suffer a significant dropoff. Arsenal on the other hand, only has Trossard, Tomiyasu, Jorginho and a fit Thomas Partey to call upon. The rest are either mediocre or are consistently injured.

You are right and that is exactly what is happening to Manchester United of England. Not having quality players on the bench seems to be costing the team a lot at this moment.

Their tactics doesn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
