ARTETA’S PRIORITIZATION DISASTER DERAILS TWO COMPETITIONS

The wrong thing to do right now would be to weigh in on Mikel Arteta before finding out what happens against PSG.
But if you think I’m going to do the right thing and hedge, you’d best find another website.
Everything about the decision to go all-in on Bournemouth reeked of the sort of short-term thinking that has cost us players, points, and performances all season long.
Arteta went big. The only notable players he rested were Mikel Merino and Jurrien Timber. The rest of the starting 11 was as it’ll be against Paris on Wednesday.
The thought, I’m guessing, is Arteta is so worried about Newcastle and Liverpool, he wanted to close off 2nd position before the huge game this week to give us cover if there’s a dip after.
Big mistake.
