6 point swing for them yesterday, wheels coming right off

I don't think the wheels are coming off; they still look the most likely team to win the league. However, I don't think they are a great team especially when they come up against other decent teams. But sadly, I worry that City are a Harland injury away from dropping off the challenge, Liverpool are done in terms of a title challenge, the chavs are too inconsistent. Let's hope City can keep going.

I'm not sure Haaland is having much impact at the moment, they won despite him yesterday.

On the arse, just trying to get a narrative going, every little helps. Negative spiral and all that.

They brought a striker who is literally a flat track bully when they needed a more nuanced guy

They only look like the most likely team to win the league if you ignore the fact that they bottle it every single season.

At the very top of the game, mental attributes are at least as important as physical ones.

Mikel Arteta on injury crisis: Arsenal in 'really dangerous circle' as Max Dowman also sidelined​

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are caught in a "really dangerous circle" after a consistent spate on injuries across this season; Max Dowman is the latest Gunners' player to be ruled out, but Arteta denies over-training is to blame; Arsenal play Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday

Mikel Arteta said Arsenal are in a "really dangerous circle" as their injury crisis worsened over the weekend with news that teenager Max Dowman has been sidelined for a number of weeks with ankle ligament damage.

Arsenal's 28 injuries is the highest in the Premier League this season. Their current absentee list is made up of three centre-backs in William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Cristhian Mosquera, as well as Kai Havertz and now Dowman.

Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard and Piero Hincapie have also faced spells on the sidelines across an injury-blighted campaign, some with multiple setbacks.

To add to Arteta's problems, Trossard has not travelled to Belgium for Arsenal's Champions League match against Club Brugge on Wednesday after he limped off in defeat to Aston Villa over the weekend while Declan Rice is also absent - but through illness.

Gabriel Jesus, on his way back from an ACL injury, has replaced Dowman in the Gunners' Champions League squad and could make his first appearance since January against Brugge.

Asked if training methods are partly to blame, Arteta said: "No, because we don't have time to train. Today [Tuesday] we've done 20 minutes, so surely it's not because we over-trained the players.

"But obviously when you are missing players, you are loading other players and there is a consequence to that, and it's a really dangerous circle.

"You have to separate the kind of injuries. Some of them have been long-term and some have been acute injuries. It's something that we are constantly looking at.

"We have played a lot of games with a lot of players missing and that puts a lot of stress, and then you get more injuries."

Commenting on Dowman's injury, Arteta added: "With Max, unfortunately he picked up an injury last weekend, and he had to come off, so we did some scans and he is going to be out for weeks."

You couldn't make it up, lamenting an injury to a 16 year old who hasn't played. Full choke deflection mode.
