it is really easy to pinpoint why Arse are struggling
no Martin Ødegaard
there are 6 truly world class (I do NOT put Bellingham at AMF, he lacks the creativity there IMHO, he is more of a hybrid box to box type) AMFs on the planet atm
and the two in bold are out with bad injuries atm
Cole Palmer
Florian Wirtz
Jamal Musiala
Martin Ødegaard
Xavi Simons
Bernardo Silva
KDB is finally winding down (but still superb at times when he plays), Nkunku is still not at pre-injury level (his two 2 bad knee injuries)
