No Fernandinho, and presumably Sterling and Walker will be doubts. Always a tough game at The Emirates, but they’re in a bit of disarray after that performance today. Just hope we don’t see a repeat of 2016, when we got trounced at Liverpool days after beating them in the cup final!

Wonder if we might go to a back three to compensate for the loss of Fernandinho?

Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Otamendi
Laporte
Danilo
Gundogan
Silva
De Bruyne
Jesus
Aguero
 
I’d send the women’s team as they haven’t got a game until mid March! Plus it would make it more entertaining!
 
Can't see Arsenal, team or fans, bouncing back after that today and we looked like we won with plenty left in the tank so hopefully a straightforward win.
Would go

Ederson

Danilo
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko

Otamendi
Gundogan
Silva

Bernardo
Agüero
Sané
 
Be interesting to see how Pep approaches the next 2 matches - will it be a major changed side for Arsenal to rest a few of today's heroes, and then strongest side for Chelsea at home next Sunday? I certainly wouldnt expect to see Vinny play on Thursday. However, Pep's said post match he's targetting 6 more wins in the league, so who knows, maybe he means the next 6.
(cheers @SebastianBlue )
 
You could put your women's team out and we would still lose

Lots of unhappiness down here, expect to see lots of empty seats at the Emirates Thursday night

Congratulations by the way for today. You were good, we were shite

Think Walker will be fine Ric
Managed the walk up the steps and seemed happy in the celebrations.

Obviously a bit risky with Ilkay in Dinho's position. It's not a long term solution and I wouldn't advocate it against a team with the quality of say Paris St Germain or Napoli but I'd fancy us to outscore Arsenal in a one off game.

3-2 City
 
Could it be a City v Arsenal match when a far superior side on the way to the league title play flowing, beautiful football, lead by four at half time and are applauded off by the home fans at the end, as happened for Viera and co. at Maine Road back in whichever year it was?

Good comparison,would love to be four up at half time as for applauding us off at final whistle it wouldn’t happen they would have all left before full time ..

Sadly I agree with that

The way we performed today was so bad the mood is turning ugly down here

I imagine there will be lots of empty seats come Thursday and the idea we have any chance of beating you is just ludicrous

I can't wait for this season to end, it's a write off

You should get Eddie Howe in mate, Wenger is wank now.

Perfect long term fit
