How much rotation today against Southampton?
The big question about the Arsenal team today is: How much will Arsene Wenger rotate today? There's little doubt that there will be some element of rotation (you can do a bit of betting - as well as some casino stuff here at 1xbet promo code if you fancy it) but should he completely reshuffle his pack [...]

It was a fair few years ago now that our Head of Academy Development (of variation of job title thereof) coined the phrase 'automatisms' in an interview when talking about the little partnerships and bits that 'click' within a component parts of a team, but that's what has me thinking this morning. Specifically after we [...]
