Arsenal have announced they currently have no injury concerns ahead of their UEFA Europa League trip to Vitoria S.C. Reiss Nelson, who has struggled with injury in recent weeks, will feature for the Under 23’s this Friday and so the club were pleased to report they have a full squad to select from on Wednesday afternoon.
Despite the positive news, these supporters took the opportunity to have a dig at their underperforming Head Coach Unai Emery.
Problem with that is…… The correct team and formation still won’t be picked and as good as we should be with no injured players, it still. Won’t work

No injured players but our coach is injured in his tactics, so what’s the difference? ?

Emery is so lucky. Has healthy players, good quality players, yet he still manages to mess up everything

Except emery’s tactics

Unai will still get everything wrong

What do you expect when emery got them playing no football?

That’s great! But when we have a manager in Unai Emery who insist on playing players in their wrong positions, they might aswell be injured.

What do we think?
Either Emery is more fortunate than his predecessor on the injury front or Arsenal are now managing their player’s conditions more effectively. In case you are wondering why the game will take place today, here is why; the match has been brought forward a day because Braga, their biggest rivals, play Besiktas and the decision was taken to assist the Portuguese authorities with congestion and safety concerns.
The reason the kick-off is so early is because the Europa League clash is not allowed to clash with any televised Champions League fixture. It’s all a bit of a mess really.
Having said all that, though, at least the Gunners can start to look forward about having a fully fit squad to select from moving forwards, something that has been all-too-rare at the Emirates Stadium in recent years.
