He nearly rotated the whole starting lineup in the League Cup against a Brighton, and would’ve probably went full rotation if we had more players available.
Seeing how we’ve approached this season, we’ve been very careful with rotations, not taking risks when players feel something, etc.
We used to run Saka into the ground, now he gets hooked with 20+ minutes to go, even when we’re chasing a goal.

Norgaard in defence!
Not the heavy rotation many of us expected. Arteta wants to win here.
Hopefully either Calafiori or Salmon will come on for Zubimendi at half time or shortly afterward, with Norgaard coming into midfield.

Yeah, out of all the players starting only Zubi is under a heavy load of playing time.
Should play 60 mins max.
Interesting to see Norgaard at the back. Maybe gets pushed to midfield later on.
Hopefully Nwaneri gets a good half an hour. Shame he couldn’t start, but Ode needs the minutes too, Madueke too.

Norgaard the hero we didn’t realize we needed.

Fucking hell. Nwaneri can’t buy a minute
Decent team. Good amount of rotation which is pleasing. Keep Saka benched

Maybe we’re playing a 3-4-3 diamond with Norgaard sitting at the bottom of it in front of the defence.
Playing him CB seems like a weird choice haha

Good lineup but I feel so sad for Nwaneri, man.
Lets bloody hope so. Saliba was supposed to be a matter of days for us.
