If you're an Arsenal fan, you probably have very little to complain about right now.
Three points clear at the top of the Premier League and looking like they could go unchallenged as they look to retain their title for the first time in their history, as well as remaining unbeaten in Europe (in normal time) since the semi-finals of 2025.
Bar the blip at Fleetwood, the Gunners remain on course for more silverware this season, but even with all the good vibes right now, there's a question on if the club getting the most out of their superstar squad.
Last summer the club spent big on beefing up the squad and got its rewards with their first championship in two decades, but 12 months on, there's an argument to suggest they aren't getting their money's worth from those same names.
With Mikel Arteta bound to ring the changes to his XI for tonight's Champions League trip to Slavia Prague, is this the game to get them going again?
Arsenal's pursuit of a first league title since 2024 was finally ended last season, and although many of their key names rightly took the headlines, having genuine depth in the squad was a massive factor.
In bringing in names such as Ebere Eze, Victor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi for big money, it added options and variety to a collective that at times looked to have run out of ideas when it mattered, and they looked to the bench for answers.
That idea came to fruition in a season where Eze's memorable one-man salvo against Tottenham was a standout, Gyokeres netted 14 Premier League goals, and Zubimendi played in every league game.
They weren't the only ones either; names such as Noni Madueke and Mikel Merino, generally not starters, also made vital contributions during the historic campaign.
However, fast-forward to the current term, and so far, there's been a severe lack of output from the names that aren't in Arteta's first-choice XI.
Ezri Konsa has got a lot of plaudits for the way he's come in and deputised for William Saliba at the start of this campaign, but if he's viewed as a first-class 'understudy', the rest who fall into the bracket have failed to follow suit.
The season may still only be one-third of the way through, but so far, between the same five players previously mentioned, they've managed just three goals and one assist between them across all competitions.
Gyokeres' place up front has largely been filled by Kai Havertz, with the Swede only starting one league game, while Eze hasn't found any form and is struggling to make the same impact he did last year.
The injury to Bukayo Saka should now give more of an opportunity to Madueke, another who, bar his winner at Nottingham Forest, has so far failed to shine - so much so that he's lost his place in Thomas Tuchel's England squad.
The defeat to Fleetwood didn't do their squad players any favours either.
In a game where you'd expect several players to push to make a point, they flounded and somehow found a way to exit the competition to the League Two side.
Some of them may get a chance to reboot their season tonight as Arsenal head to Czechia looking to continue their unbeaten start to their European campaign.
It could be the ideal setting for those, who have really struggled to get going this season, to finally find some rhythm against a team who are yet to win in the competition.
It's a situation that's easy to dismiss at this stage, with the Gunners riding high, but with even the first XI not yet at their best, getting the most out of the squad around them now could prove pivotal later in their season when they are needed most.
