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

I can’t make it to the game today so can someone do me a favour and snap Roy Keane’s legs for me.

I’ll pay the legal fees.

Could just tell Doku not to dribble. Turn inside to win free kicks and just pass it square every time he has it.

Apparently you have no idea how you watch football (i.e. taking the ball up the pitch but passing back for 20% of the ground gained). So sorry for you.

No Foden again, what's going on Pep?

Possibly not 100% fit, expect to see him second half……

 

[super_city_si]

Walker in for his pace, but to be honest the way hes played the last six months, hes full of mistakes. Hes picked based on his past. I think I would have stuck with Lewis.

Hope kyle proves me wrong.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

I’ve been waiting for doku,savi and haaland combo ,,,lets fucking go,
6-1

Pinning this lol

 

[heslops barnet]

My biggest concern is when they don’t and Arsenal go on a quick counter.
Both top wingers though so let’s hope today isn’t one of those days.

Don’t track back though……

If only we had a decent bench.

 

[Paleblue2]

Seeing Gibbs-White get his maching orders against Brighton was fun, dirty twat. Still not forgiven for getting Rodri sent for an early bath, c##t.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Walker being captain is such a fucking joke.

Should’ve given it to Gundogan the second he signed back on the dotted line.

 

[super_city_si]

Not a big fan of that midfield, slow with little creativity, hopefully they bring their A-game though.

I’d be telling Rice to run with it. He’ll go straight through.

No Ben White - he was caught out many times against Atalanta and Timber is actually a RWB not a LB. Suspect Timber and Calafiori will invert into midfield and that's where Arteta feels he can build attacks from.

Both are hot headed at times though and an early yellow will be a problem.

 

[bridgeno1]

I’d be telling Rice to run with it. He’ll go straight through.

Rice only runs backwards so to negate this Arteta should insist Rice faces Raya at all times

 

[Revolver]

Would be happier to swap one of our wingers for a midfielder. Concerned we are going to give up possession too easily.

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on lads, make a statement

 

[malg]

Oopphhh.......can't wait for the Matchday Thread. I bet some people have 'Walker out of fucking position' and 'Doku's final ball is shit' on as predictive text by now.

 

[deano ou812]

Just need to be aware of their set pieces which are very good..

 

[bridgeno1]

Come on lads, make a statement

'Jamie Carragher is a ****'.

Joint statement from City and Arsenal.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

When was the last time we really blew a title rival away? That'd be nice.

 

[Trickyblues]

Walker being captain is such a fucking joke.

Should’ve given it to Gundogan the second he signed back on the dotted line.

The players voted for him…

 

[Gobshiight]

Think I've finally reached the point where I mute the whole of a City game

Can't be fucked listening to neville and carragher at the best of times, but adding Peter Drury into the mix makes the commentary completely unbearable
