More matches at the age of 22 than Lionel Messi. 87 Premier League games in a row.
Bukayo Saka’s injury issues should come as no real surprise.
Years of overplaying and poor recruitment - Arsenal are facing the inevitable consequences.

My favourite detail is him saying “you sort it out amongst yourselves you cunts” and then when they start talking to each other after he leaves he comes steaming back in screaming again
Just brilliant
Saka, Dowman, Tzolis injured, Dowman knows this and got himself banned for 3 games.
I’m fucking sick to my stomach.
Mikel Arteta has revealed that Riccardo Calafiori, Noni Madueke and Declan Rice all missed this Carabao Cuo game with injury.
Calafiori was “out”, Madueke has an ankle problem and Rice “picked up something the other day”. #afc

I love Max. I don’t care about the Carabao cup either (rather have fewer fixtures in the new year). I think the challenge on him was unnecessarily heavy and a cuntish move.
But if he wants to play men’s football at his age, he needs to be more mature and that’s what Mikel will be thinking.
You don’t lash out, which is what he did. He kicked into him off the ball and planted his studs into the thigh of the twat who went for him. That HAS to be a red card. No ifs or buts.
The smart play is to either go down holding your legs (and get the opposition player booked) or have a teammate smash him on the ball. Anyone advocating that he’s “standing up for himself” there is just as immature as Max was. Did nothing to help himself or his team.
He’s only 16, yes. But if you want to play for a title challenger at 16 then you need to be wiser than that.

Humiliated but we’ll have fans celebrate the fact we ‘save legs’.
Make the players walk home. One of the worst defeats in our history. Fucking idiots.
There are a lot of senior players who played far, far below anything approaching acceptable tonight and that ought to be made emphatically clear to them by Arteta
I’m not overly fussed over the league cup itself, but a team full of senior starters putting in a performance that pathetic against a team 18th in league 2 will keep me up tonight
Struggling to process what I’ve just seen here
It usually feels like hyperbole to say this but that’s got to be the worst Arsenal performance in years
What we really wanted to avoid ahead of Anfield on Sunday is guys like Odegaard having to come on to rescue a game
This performance from several senior players has been an utter joke. Like they thought they would just turn up and win. They need a slap in the face in that dressing room, sharpish.
There’s several internationals out there, Premier League winners, playing long balls over the top out of play against a league 2 team
This really is quite unbelievable.
Lots of very basic errors tonight. Passes being hit clean out of play, running down blind alleys, taking too many touches on the ball. From senior players as well.
That needs to be made abundantly clear to them at half time.
For the players, out there on a cold night, this is bad.
Standing around not doing anything is just muscular injuries waiting to happen.
