Arsenal (a) pre-match thread

[citytill1die84]

Feels like Marriner is involved in our games every other week. 4th official this time.

Looking forward to this having got a ticket. Going for 2 nil win.

2-0 :( we never keep clean sheets.

We seem unable to keep a clean sheet theses days and will no doubt concede first. Arsenal have some serious pace upfront which caught us out v Rags.
As long as we score 1 more than they do, it will have to suffice.
2-1

Looks like Peps “favourite slowest player/midfield cone” Gundogan, will be playing ahead of Foden then.

That sounds like he going to be on the bench, which probably means Ilkay starts ahead of him.

Well I mean it's fully deserved, Gundog has been absolutely brilliant this year playing as a traffic cone

Looks like Peps “favourite slowest player/midfield cone” Gundogan, will be playing ahead of Foden then.

Looks like the player that can do no good in the eyes of the fans, the player that gets blasted for doing the same as KDB, and our new Dzeko, Kolorov, Goater is starting. Excellent.

Reckon we'll line up like this:

Ederson
Walker
Fernandinho
Otamendi
Mendy
Rodri
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Sterling
Jesus

We cant drop points here simply. Next 3 league games: Arsenal, Leicester, Wolves. Very tricky set of opponents. All of them can hurt us badly unless we Pep can change the way we defend. Being stubborn and making it easy for opponents has to stop otherwise even Leicester can get a 10+ points gap ahead of us which is a shower of shit for Pep.

We need to start quickly in first half, test their keeper, and have a more compact formation where they dont run trough our midfield so easily. Arsenal is in a chaos themselves, surely we should punish them instead the other way around.

Lets get some score predictions in for the game? With scorers as well, see if anyone can get it right.

I can't see maximum points out of those 3 games

Reckon we'll line up like this:

Ederson
Walker
Fernandinho
Otamendi
Mendy
Rodri
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Sterling
Jesus

I'd swap Gundogan for Foden but otherwise I agree with this team
