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

Looks like Gvardiol will be in the middle. Could make or break our game

 

[paulchapo]

Looks like BM have named him official Match Day Thread Scapegoat pre kick off.

A new record.

To be fair he's not been exactly inspiring since he got here. Yes I know it's his first season and everyone keeps saying he's being played out of position.

For all you nervous City fans, just remember that for us who have to play you City away is absolutely the toughest fixture in world football. Even with the line ups confirmed I maintain I'd be delighted taking a point.

 

[paulchapo]

Pep must be worried, as Gvardiol has been moved to the middle!

How do we know that?

 

[TinFoilHat]

I don't rate Saka as a top class player.

He's more concerned with selling his special sauce at Nando's than improving his game.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Stuart Pearce just passed us. Head firmly down, don’t look at me!! ;-)

 

[Dialog]

Looks like gvardiol
Might be CB

Hopefully he will use that height as an asset against set pieces and Havertz's aerial threat!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

How do we know that?

The defence have been warming up in that shape. Ake left back. Gvardiol with Dias

 

[super_city_si]

How do we know that?

He’s cb with Dias in the warm
Up drill

 

[mosssideblue]

I'd have loved to see Foden more central to use his pace/half-turn to leave that turtle Jorginho in the dust.

I suspect it will be fluid across the front line

 

[deano ou812]

Just turned Sky on and it’s a positive for Arsenal going forward and a worry for us in defence.

Isn’t that always the narrative whoever is playing us ..

I agree. We're the team to beat but this is probably your best chance.

 

[Dialog]

He's more concerned with selling his special sauce at Nando's than improving his game.

Then thats a good thing for us, if he does not improve.

 

[RobinHood]

He's very good if I'm being honest.

Can't see 'top class'.

 

[citymad]

I don't rate Saka as a top class player.

Don't understand that if you've watched football. Superb winger and a real threat. Would swap him for Doku in a heartbeat.

Isn't that what most Blues are saying?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Then thats a good thing for us, if he does not improve.

Another Engerland kid happy to take the money and reduce the effort whilst riding on his media hype.

The Jlingz of Arsenal

 

[vanchi]

Looks like gvardiol
Might be CB

where’s the info from?

 

[bluealf]

Stuart Pearce just passed us. Head firmly down, don’t look at me!! ;-)

I hope you shouted "where's your fucking beanie toy, you arse" at him.

I know you'll have been to polite but at least I hope you thought it lol

Feel we will win this one but for some reason I feel really uneasy as the game gets closer.

Everything is telling me that Kova is the right choice for todays match but im just not comfortable seeing it.

I am feeling very twitchy, whereas I normally consider Arse at home a 3 point banker - even last year ...
