Watching the Champions League match between Manchester City and Real Madrid again demonstrated the gap between where Arsenal are and where they need to be. Most notable is the depth in both sides.
Arsenal watched on as Manchester City brought on Raheem Sterling and Fernandinho, whilst still having Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish and Nathan Ake on the bench. Meanwhile, Madrid brought on Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, Marco Asensio and Nacho Fernandez.
To close the gap, the Gunners need to improve the strength in depth of the team. One of the causes for Arsenal’s dip in form prior to victories over Chelsea and Manchester United was injuries.
