    We played lights out football last season but it wasn’t sustainable as we struggled towards the end. This season, our style has been a little more ugly but we are grinding out wins. There is much more quality depth as well. I am hopeful.

      Why do people keep saying this? It was pretty damn sustainable, we just lost Saliba and Tomiyasu at the worst possible moment. The football itself was not the issue.

        It is true that our play style suffered without Saliba and Tomi. However, we were extremely poor in those games against Southampton, West Ham, Forest, and Brighton where we still should’ve had enough to beat them.

        I think until before the last few weeks, Arsenal were top 3 for the fewest changes to the lineup in the league and that’s despite injuries to some key players. That’s what people mean when they say it was not sustainable, as it showed with injuries and drop in intensity.
