Mikel Arteta will cost Arsenal the league title

[JuanTheDevil]

This one isn’t just on the players, it's on Arteta!

𝐙𝐔𝐁𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈 — first season in the Premier League:
27/27 games.
2270 minutes.
Literally zero rest.

Every single league match. No rotation. No protection.

And we’re shocked he looks exhausted?
Heavy in duels.
Late to second balls.
Not the same sharpness in transitions.

Fatigue doesn’t lie.

Meanwhile — you sign 𝐍Ø𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐀𝐑𝐃, an experienced Premier League captain.

His league involvement?
4 matches.
32 minutes.

Thirty-two.

You don’t trust him to start against 20th-place Wolves? Home or away? Then why sign him?

Rotation isn’t weakness. It’s elite management.
You protect your core.
You trust your squad.
You kill games when you’re 2–0 up.

Instead we look leggy. Flat. Reactive.

If we want to win the league, workload management has to improve. Game control has to improve. In-game adjustments have to improve.

𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.

Instructions going forward:

• Rotate intelligently in “manageable” fixtures
• Protect key midfielders before burnout hits
• Be ruthless at 2–0 — control tempo, slow the game
• Demand constant communication in defensive phases
• Use the bench proactively, not reactively

Titles are won in the margins.
Right now, we’re losing them.
