He played Ødegaard for 90 minutes in a game we were winning 5-0 at HT.

I suppose but let's break down who I think could've played more and it's really mainly Vieira, ESR and Nelson that come right to mind, as Arteta has done well to rotate in Trossard.
Nelson afaik has been available for most of the season. I mean look, I appreciate questions about his ability but if he's not getting a decent run it's going to be incredibly difficult for him to build form. There have been a lot of matches where we really could've given him a solid portion of the 2nd half and could've rested Saka too.
Vieira; looking at Transfermarkt was actually injured from 9th Dec 23 up until 17th Feb 2024 (and served a 3 match ban from 25th Nov 2023 till he was on injured). So for him I get it. Being overly harsh I could say that it would've been nice if he featured a little more after the injury, but again perhaps not realistic.
ESR; Again from Transfermarkt, was only really injured from 4th Nov - 9th Dec which is 6 league games. I suppose he then had one minor injury that took him out for one league game in Feb. I think he definitely could've played a bit more.

We really could use an able deputy to Ødegaard. Quite an ask really, but he's been brilliant this year, but his work rate actually scares me.

I can't even be mad at West Ham at home. At least we tried. But Fulham....

The games where we actually looked horrible were Chelsea and Fulham away (I can't remember the Fulham at home match). The Tottenham match was like a basketball game so I'm really not looking forward to this one.
Country: Norway
Aye, we had enough chances to put West Ham away. Fulham was downright our worst performance of the season. We deserved nothing from that game.I can't even be mad at West Ham at home. At least we tried. But Fulham....

Watching the celebration for the 2nd goal....all the players look absolutely f*cked. Blowing out their ar*ses ! Much less of a celebration too. Ok it's only Wolves, but can't help but feel
a) a bit of belief has gone out of them
b) all the regular 1st teamers are proper knackered

I noticed that. Even though when we scored and at the end it ll seemed a bit muted like they don’t believe they can win it. Maybe it was the Munich hangover, but it felt like the passion was missing.

I was half way waiting for them to shake hands like in the 30s after a goal, and trot on.

Our away form in PL is so good. 22 goals in 6 games and 0 conceeded

Arsenals muted celebrations were even noted on MOTD yesterday. First we were over celebrating, now we are under celebrating

He gave up on Nketiah before Xmas. He should have considered selling him in January when transfers command a premium. The few minutes he's played since would have easily been covered by one of the other squad players.
ESR has been fit for some weeks but barely used. More or less the same for Vieira.

He hasn’t offloaded and replaced the squad players he and Edu should have.
If he doesn’t trust a player as part of the squad, replace them. Nketiah, ESR, Nelson, Viera… barely trusted with cup games, much less Premier League rotation.
January was the missed chance of offloading untrusted back ups, now we’re paying for it with an exhausted first team.

Yeah Arteta is a hoarder, plain and simple. I'm a big fan of his but he has some big weaknesses he needs to iron out. The talk of him being 'ruthless' always makes me laugh. Guy would have 40 players if he could.
Take ESR for example was TV MOTM v Luton, had a few minutes last week v AV but surely could of been used more.
It's easy to be critical of squad players that come in don't perform but when they do and then not rewarded with more minutes what does that do to a players confidence?
