Arsenal (A) - Sun 21st Sept, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

To be fair our front 6 looks much stronger than theirs, so it's basically which defence will cave?

Their defence is great to be fair.

Score draw.

 

[akrh215]

I think our team is better than theirs, and with those names, we should totally win today!

 

[Vienna_70]

It would be nice to see Johnny Stones come on and score the winner!

@BlueMoonRisin’ is gonna make a killing flogging these on the matchday thread today.

 

[Sibierskii]

Thunderbird going with 3 DMs and Trossard. 0-0 all over it.

 

[ultraboffin]

Nothing too surprising about the line up

 

[TinFoilHat]

Arsenal Mentality today.

They are playing to shithouse and get a point. Which is embarrassing if you're the home team.

That's why they will always be bridesmaids.

 

[Blueknows]

Not exactly -

Ummm - he was the ref in the infamous derby in 2023. Worst piece of cheating in living memory

Answered it to the original poster , more down to poor var ? what were var doing?

 

[Ajm1985]

Surprised Trossard is starting

 

[Xhavenjoe]

What is this sorcery?

Sounds like warlocks to me

 

[Kippax77]

Good point but still var (lack of) and lino were an absolute joke that day , seen a lot of decent atwell performances for us tbf

I need some of your faith.
Let's hope he's OK today then

CITY XI: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Rodrigo, Bernardo (C), Reijnders, Foden, Doku, Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Stones, Ake, Nico, Savinho, Nunes, Bobb, Mukasa, Lewis

You heard about the great wall of china but have you heard about the greatest wall of kush?

 

[Goater101]

To think we’ve still got Marmoush, Cherki and Ait-Nouri to add to this squad. Hopefully this is the end of the right back experiment now.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

It's not really fair on Utd that they're the only ones we mullered 1-6 so as not to leave gooners fans out, a 0-6 today please...Haaland why always 3, Foden, Doku, Reindeer.

 

[Blueknows]

So arteta bottling it by going defensive at home

 

[WallyA]

Gonna need Reijnders to up his game for this one.

That Arsenal midfield is probably the strongest physically in Europe and Reijnders is not the best defensively.

 

[ufo]

I know Bernard is the captain but I think he needs a rest.....

ok mrs bernard

Do they do a half and half version?

Asking for a friend...

 

[Great Kompany]

Super okay with the team. Balanced with enough room for creativity and clearly our most in-form players. We may still loss or draw but the progress I have seen since rags and Napoli makes me confident we will get it right sooner than later. As someone mentioned on twitter -

Win the game and may start dreaming of an improbable title run.
Draw the game and notice the improvement since last season ( 5-1 loss)
Lose the game. Understand we are work in progress and assume that any title charge can be assumed only from next season as we are still weaker than 3-4 teams in the league.

A tragic loss like 5-1 last time around or any injury to our players is where I am gonna spoil my mood. Surprisingly positive today!

I thought we are fragile/can be got at ?
