I just don't get why the Premier League can't just sort out their scheduling before it's too late? I mean, if Palace can push back their game by a week and everyone's okay with that, then why can't Arsenal do something similar? It's not like they're trying to avoid playing against Everton or anything. The thing is, every delay just causes more problems for the teams involved. Arteta's right about the player welfare thing too - if your key players are missing due to over-scheduling, it's gonna affect the team's performance.
And I feel bad for Arsenal, they're already struggling with injuries and now this? It's not fair on them or the fans who just want to see some proper football. The EFL is right that all these delays serve no one well - the competition itself suffers. But can't we just have a more sensible schedule in place from the start? I mean, it's not rocket science!
