Teams dont rotate as often as you appear to preach.
Most teams play a solid 11 with a few tweaks here and there sometimes else if you keep rotating you lose team chemistry. Who was it that kept rotating for i think it was either liverpool or chelsea a few years ago and as a result thet struggled to win games?
It was due to that. Not knowing who you will play with on the day.
Wenger does rotate. Rosisky and flamini have been used extensively to rotate players, wilsher too has been used as a rotated player but our CB's have been paired together because hardly ANY club rotates CB's as it can disrupt the defensive chemistry dramatically.
We could not rotate Girud because bendter is **** and Sanoogo was injured through most of the season.
That leaves who? we have 3-4 midfielders we rotate which is more then enough.
We are not a team like bayern who have 30 world class players all injury free.
kross was on the damm bench tonight due to ribery playing for christ sakes. how can arsenal compete with that?
do we have 2-3 walcott type players in our side? a striker as good as girud? a playmaker better/equal to ozil cazola or ramsey?
no we dont. We simply cant poach and buy the best players in our league like how bayern can using teams like dortmound as there feeder club.
We also dont have two month winter break on top of that
Rosicky and Flamini are covering mostly for injured players, not being intentionally rotated. Giroud COULD be rotated IF WE BOUGHT ANOTHER STRIKER.
It was Wenger's CHOICE to not buy another striker, therefore his responsibility, as for Bendtner being ****, he's not.
Bayern started Kroos, Muller, Rafina, Boateng and Shaqiri in their previous game...... really, other teams don't rotate much at all. Okay, if you say so. They also made multiple changes from the game before that, in which they had made multiple changes from the game before that. Martinez missed a bunch of months, they have a CB out injured. Ribery missed several games, they've had injuries but not a huge amount.
I don't recall suggesting changing 11 players every game, but resting Walcott for 1 game, instead of playing a just back from injury player for 7 games on the trot before he absolutely unpredictably picks up a season ending injury isn't going to ruin the team dynamic. Resting Ozil for a couple games here and there wouldn't ruin the team either, and playing a tired player who is completely uninvolved is WORSE than playing a fresh player who changes the team a bit.
Wilshere has been mostly out of the team this season due to other knacks, he missed the Liverpool game due to a knock and was back the next game and played through till injured yet again.
Again our lack of defenders/CB's in particular is directly down to Wenger. Gibbs came back from an injury, and got played till reinjured, etc, etc. Familiar story with Arsenal.
Refusing to use Bendtner, nor buy another striker, refusing to rotate sensibly. There are players who are likely to get reinjured and those who are less likely, players who you need to rest to keep fresh, and those that you don't. Wilshere/Ramsey/Walcott are obvious players to protect, but we don't. Being injured doesn't count as a rest.
Sounds like arsenal really need someone with a little bit more bite up front
