I think a half fit saka is worse than him missing. Arteta could really ruin him for weeks.

Please tell that to the cunty Arsenal fans who think Arteta is God and knows what he is doing. Saka doesnt need a rest cause Arteta wills it. In Arteta we trust.

Cant wait to be rid of the **** and those fans.
 
Wish Pep would come out saying he expects a 115 minute game like most of Arsenals are.
Needed a strong ref re Arsenals fake injuries and antics but unfortunately have Oliver who will give them everything and stop the game as every chance

Taking on arsenal away without Stones, Kev and Rodri is a very big ask, especially with Haaland so out of form as well. If we get anything out of this I can’t see anyone even challenging us for the title. I’d snap your hand off for a draw right now. That’s not being a fanny (although I’m sure others on here will tell me different haha) - just being realistic

Sort yourselves out, you just came off a treble winning season and beat us when we were in the form of our lives.

If we couldnt beat you last season then we aint beating you this season with our injuries too. We havent won against u in 17 games.

Get a grip, you're acting like we're peak Liverpool or Real Madrid where the games were 50/50 anyone's game. I watch us play every week and we're shit this season. Wonder when the fans will figure out that Arteta cant take us forward.

Haaland not out of form just out of luck. Give him the right service and he will bang them in for fun.

Arent all working class dialects street language though? It's normal to my generation now. I like it represents modern Britain

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. To my ears, it sounds dreadful. All that fam/blud/brap/bruh/innit etc etc. Proper "nails down a blackboard" stuff. As you insinuated, though, it's not for my generation.

Id be sticking gvardiol in midfield with kovacic and then bernardo coming in to help from the right wing, foden and alvarez as the main two behind haaland foden drifting in from the left, interchanging with alvarez. I'd also be throwing on doku early second half to rinse zinchenko if we aren't comfortably infront. I don't think that's likely to happen though.

We will probably see something like Ederson
Walker
Dias
Akanji
Ake
Bernardo
Kovacic
Foden
Alvarez
Grealish
Haaland

With Bernardo playing as the rodri role and kovacic in support.


I'm not fearful of arsenal but they'll be going into this at practically full strength despite Arteta's "deception for dummies" quotes and we will be severely weakened and not playing particularly well either so avoiding a defeat here would be monumental. They know this is a must win for them so I'm not expecting too much in truth.

There is no way Gvardiol should not be starting. He's a better player than both Ake and Akanji already, simple as...

And that team wasn’t the one that got 100pts or the one that won all 4 domestic trophies. You can’t stand still in football or everbody else will go past you.

We have major players missing that's part and parcel of football, We've also brought the seriously good players with Gvaridol, Kovacic, Nunes and Doku all of which would possibly walk into Arsenal's team.

We are sitting top of the league with Stones and KDB missing from the start of the season. It's the rest of the league that should be worrying, Not you!

All we need to do is stay in and around the top of the league until Stones and KDB are back and it's curtains for the rest of the league.

Anyway Sunday's game isn't season defining and whatever team we put out is capable of beating Arsenal.

No need to be so defeatist.
 
Pep sounding quietly relaxed and focused at the press conference. That sort of vibe builds confidence and belief and settles everyone's nerves. Feeling good about this one.

I agree he should be starting but I think pep goes with tried and tested at the back given we probably expect not to dominate.
