I think this is the 4th time we've been faced with this scenario. We're in the mix for the title but our wafer thin squad is breaking apart already. Will we learn from the past or just continue down the same road?
Been offline a few days.

Yeah, we've definitely been here before regarding the mounting injuries affecting our title challenge. I personally think Wenger won't learn and will risk the season by pushing the squad to the max. To be fair, when we have a fully fit squad we are as good as anybody in the division, we have strength in depth in pretty much every position and it's pretty high quality too. I'm not going to turn this into a Wenger out kind of debate, but his undoing will be his principled stance on hoping we get bodies back. If the likes of Wilshere and Welbeck are out for the season then they are going to need replacing in the January window, no ifs or buts, they will need replacing with players of similar quality. We are not in the position of being able to juggle players around because outside of them two we already have a core of players who are perpetual crocks, we all know who they are.

Like others have said including yourself, if these injuries continue then we can wave goodbye to any credible title challenge.
