      Areta literally pushed an injured Partey back onto the pitch against Tottenham in 2020. Saka and Martineli’s production was heavily diminished in the later parts of last season. Luckily for Martinelli he had a suitable substitute in Trossard and received rest here and there. Meanwhile, Reiss Nelson was seldomly substituted in for Saka as a starter. Saka has started every PL match in the last two seasons except against Leeds at the Emirates. The likes of Trossard, Nelson, ESR, Vieira, and Tierney need to be utilized in the Prem. They shouldn’t only be a mainstay in the domestic cup competitions.

        Another one is when we rushed Tomi back for that Liverpool game. I think he’s probably learned from that though.
