Arsenal (H) - Sun 22nd Sept, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Oh, I know. But it wasn’t just Howard and Mustoe.

It was Lowe, Cahill, Neville (no surprise there), Le Soux, Earle, and even Vieira.

It was wall to wall Arsenal, with nary a mention of City, apart from to say they can be beaten.

I always feel like their build up is less City focused in big games…but if City wins, they tend to be extremely pro City. Almost in awe. It’s like the have to make it interesting for the neutral in the build up.

Sorry you asked it is bloody Oliver.

Fuckin oliver

Ahhh yes the bottler we’ll know within 5 mins how he’s going to approach the game and he better fucking clamp down on these invisible injuries or the tactical time outs getting fed up with them now ..

Yeah we sort of guessed that was going to be the case hopefully nothing to bad give him a good rest and back for Newcastle at the weekend..edit my only concern is the creativity we lack at times when he doesn’t play but time for others to step up and do that .

 

[SWP's back]

Thought he would.

Hope Gundo has sharpened up a bit in the last few days, especially with his head.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard.
Subs: Neto, White, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Kacurri, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus.

 

[SWP's back]

Nothing against Doku, his unpredictability makes him exciting but Pep will want to dominate possession and midfield and Grealish gives him that. Space behind will be tough so I expect lots of intricate passing. If we're pushing in the second half Doku will give us pace

See Pep’s gone for two wingers that can beat their men.

 

[pudge]

Walker and Doku, what fun this will be

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I really don't like that team, to be honest.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Foden on bench. Oh dear.
