As Arsenal grow stronger in numbers and quality, it's a cold reality for some Gunners players that their time in the starting XI will soon be up.
After 16 games, of which Arsenal have failed to win just two, Mikel Arteta is finding more and more out about his team, who'd won their last eight. On Sunday, the Gunners slumped to their first draw of the season, as they were held by Southampton at St Mary's.
Arteta's side looked sapped of energy in the closing stages following a 65th-minute equaliser by Stuart Armstrong, save for one player: Kieran Tierney. Brought on as a substitute for the fourth Premier League game running, the Scottish left-back injected guile and direction to his side, almost salvaging them a draw.
