If the injuries don't ease up and we don't have a relatively fit squad by January then we can wave goodbye to the title, I'd go as far as to say we will be in a real scrap for top 4 if injuries don't ease up because I think Spurs & to a lesser extent Liverpool are starting to show real signs of improvement.

Despite all that, I think when we had a relatively injury free squad earlier on in the season we at times did look like the real deal.
If I was being picky I'd tell you that decimate means "to remove one in 10", so that would be 90% of our squad fit :coney:
But basically, I agree. IMO we're good enough but the injury problems are building up again and that is looking like it may cost us.
If so then #WengerOut, 'cos this has been a problem for years and he hasn't found a solution.
But while we're in touch I'm going to keep believing we have a chance. We have a good run in, if we're there or thereabouts with 10 games left I think we've got a shot.
