Injuries will always kill off our season

Also you don't have to be tall to have large muscle mass. There's plenty of small or average height people who a very solid with high muscle mass. Look at akinfenwa and elokobi! They're 5'11 not exactly tall, but they are fúcking beasts haha.
Muscle mass and correct physical training might help, but I doubt height will come into it.

What would Stuart Pearce do? (U3126)

Its just my view and theory on why we get so many injuries.

Invincibles - All outfield players 6ft or over apart from Cole and Freddie (Maybe Lauren but he was a dirty bustard and made up for it that way).

Cant remember that team getting many injuries (Edu did but he was a squad player).

Currently crop (last 4-5 years) - Most outfield players under 6ft and they seem to be getting injuried left right and centre.

You may be right! I have no idea. I just don’t think it is beneficial making any assessments in regard to build/physicality without having the expertise/knowledge to quantify them.

On thing's for sure we’re not a kick in the a rse away from Steve Bould putting on a shirt…

Im just peeved off basically. All i see when i watch Arsenal these days is a bunch a puss pots which really makes me mad. Gone are the days where Bergkamp will leave an elbow in the CB for getting too close to him or Viera just wiping someone out.

I've now got to watch Wilshire try and dribble through 3-4 players and then go into a heap on the floor requiring treatment. (Baring the Sat tackle from Rose which was late)

Im watching the likes of Giroud shrug his shoulder and moan at the ref as the CB are abit rough or Ozil strolling around being ultra weak on the ball.

Couple of article on the injuries. There are more but couldn't be bothered to go through them. They might help give more of an incite.

I knew when we miss out on Fabregas how that will end.

Another wasted season.

Please stop with the Fabregas thing. It's tiring!

Wenger also has a tendency to over play and rush back players. We used to do it with fabregas, and has done with Walcott. We've never had a strong squad in depth, so rotation is often non existent or limited. He admitted already he over played wilshere, played him when he was in the red zone, or whatever it was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 100% right on this though. Rotation is no-exisitant in the arsenal team. Ozil, Ramsey, Gibbs ect all over played for some reason. Wenger just like sticking with the same 11-14 players.

In the lesser games he need to put 1 or 2 of them on the bench and then go all out against the bigger team.

No doubt when we play burnley at home we will have all the big guns playing when lets face it a few of them should be rested or at the very least be on the bench.

Wenger rested Ramsey against Southampton, yet he still got injured in the Spurs game.
Kind of negates your theory. Sometimes these things happen.

Mate that was a silly Capital One cup game. I'm talking PL/Cl games where he played game after game.
