Arsenal now play like the dippers. They start at 100mph and hit on the break with pace. We need to keep control of the ball, smother them and quieten the crowd. The longer it goes where they don't score doubts will creep in and hopefully mistakes too.
 
I said the chances of Rico starting were slim to none. Shows what I know, once again.

I just hope it's not at the expense of Foden and/or Alvarez.

Nothing to fear from them. As with every match, the only side that scare me is City and our propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot. That and the referees. We put a 7/10 performance in and we beat this load of shit comfortably.
 
------------------Ederson------------------
Walker----Dias-----Gvardiol-----‐Ake
--------------Lewis-----Bernardo------------
Foden-----------Alvarez-----------Grealish
---------------------Haaland------------------

Try being in one with the dippers while your hands are clenched around your phone and your wallet.
 
So got to be either Phil or Kovacic not starting in midfield?

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Akanji
Ake/Gvardiol
Lewis
Bernardo/Kova
Grealish
Phil/Bernardo
Alvarez
Haaland

Bernardo is starting in one of those two positions, so who drops?…

Alvarez will start on bench imo, so that we can have an extra body in midfield.

This team will frighten them - although I might be tempted to start Grealish and bring Doku on as the arse tire. Our biggest danger is turnover ball in the middle of the park - remove those errors and this is more than winnable IMO

Definitely Grealish over Doku. That could be changed later on, and Doku could exploit any tiredness really effectively. If City get anything from this, without KDB, Rodri and Stones, it would be exceptional.
 
If Sake and Martinelli start they could do with some heavy challenges testing how fit they really are, unfortunately our defenders are too accommodating & don't have a nasty bone apart from maybe Walker. Could look to swipe Martinelli's legs from under him going for a high ball like Martinelli did to Bednarek dumping him right on his neck, should still be banned now for that.
