Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I see Southgate plans to rag the feck out of Foden and Rice over the international break.

 

[SWPISHOME]

They will come flying out at us, I suspect?

If we get through the first 20 minutes and they haven't scored, we will move through the gears.

Big games, big players. Rodri, KDB, Foden and Haaland.

We simply have more of them

I thought they would come flying out of the traps against Porto at home, It was the complete opposite.

They are a very nervous team when it comes to the big games, The squad of players they have aren't used to being involved in these types of games and they lack know-how.

We've been around the block numerous times, A squad of players that these types of games is where they come alive.

They can try and come out all guns blazing all they like, They'll fold like a deck chair as usual.

John Stones coming off injured in the England game. Jesus that's crazy bad luck

 

[dannyboiblue]

Stones off for England now..........

 

[york away to this!]

FFS...

 

[Blue warrior]

Shitty friendlies fcuk off

 

[blueparsman]

Fuck off waistcoat

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Stones is made of glass.

Pep will be livid this week.

 

[citysince88]

I genuinely don't understand why these players don't fuck these friendlies right off, walker and stones are going on the plane as long as there not injured.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

So stones who hasn’t played twice in a week all season for city plays twice in a week for England in friendlies . Shocking

So predictable, how fucking pointless too. These international friendlies at this time of the season are ridiculous, just no need.

 

[117 M34]

I was confident a week ago.
Now with so many getting injured I'm worried about how our defence will cope.
Might need bernardo playing full back again at this rate.

 

[MadchesterCity]

So Ederson and Grealish already out, Alvarez likely unavailable due to playing in Argentina tomorrow.
We've lost Walker, Stones KDB, Nunes and Haaland so far!! Absolute madness from our players playing in these shit friendlies, could easily be the reason we wont win league or CL this season

can't see anything but an Arsenal win as majority of their team are rested for 3 weeks

werent grealish and kdb both in training and walker expected to be fit

 

[waspish]

Be good to see 3/4 youth players start against Arsenal on Sunday

 

[Chris Holmes]

Haaland had a pen saved by the Fulham keeper Rodák tonight vs Slovakia and Rodders scored a pen v Brazil, so that's our penalty taker sorted for the Arsenal game - though Bento the Brazil keeper was only playing his 2nd international game.

What happened to Nunes?

 

[Gone for a Burton]

I hope John Stones rises from the dead on Easter Sunday and scores the winner !!

 

[the old abbey]

Stop worrying. Most of them will be fit. No mither.
