I mean barely any clubs actually have good second-choice keepers that are OK with sitting on the bench for 85% of the season

mannone is useless, he should not be on our books, we've seen it done it, move on, i rather we play a youngster, because there is a chance he could be decent, mannone is mannone, we've already seen his limitations. this is miss management, nothing to do with injuries.

[Peter]

We dont.

[Wilsheres Clockwork Toy]

yes he is injured as reported mid week, never got over it in time.

[plastic james]

i rate fabianski...but mannone should not ba an arsenal player, end of.


nobody in their right mind would demand a very good second or third choice goalkeeper. mannone isnt even a goal keeper, he can hardly catch the ball, the man is beyond useless

[Peter]

It is going to be really, really horrible.

I mean seriously ugly.

the back room staff is simply rubbish. Whether it is the fitness coaches, the medical team, the dietitians or a combination.

And we have a small group of players who pick up knocks very easily.

It is only really a problem when it gets up to ten players, or when you get multiples in one position, like the keepers today. We tend to get there quie a lot- the full backs last season as an obvious one, as was the three months where all thre strikers were injured at the ame time a couple of years ago.

Sometimes bad luck, sometimes thin squad. Nobody can really give you are moe meaningful answer. If thy could they would probsably be able to helpmsolve it.
