Arteta won’t be done with him until he’s playing on what’s left of his ankles after his feet have been pulverized to dust

Saka is leagues more durable, but that's what happened to Dembele at Barca. He was told "just run" at all time and could never get recovery on his hamstrings. With Saka, he's got to get cover for him in Jan or his ankles are never going to be the same. And Saka NEEDS his knees and ankles for his style of wing play in particular.

Arteta not subbing him off immediately after we went 3-0 up on the weekend was criminal. Game/squad management is definitely Arteta’s biggest flaw.

I’m afraid that he doesn’t have confidence in his options on the bench.

Which makes no sense because the likes of Vieira, ESR & Nelson are more than capable options for a few games. This squad is fully his now so he should use it :beli:
I don’t understand why he won’t play players that are capable. ESR, Reiss more than deserve games at this point. ESR is the reason he’s still at the Emirates ffs
