Arsenal's foul play at the Etihad and the injury to Rodri will long be remembered. I am not confident that we will beat them but Marmoush and Haaland could hurt them if we can get possession.

I'd play Khusanov. It's high risk/reward. And no KDB and Gundogan.

That midfield 2 offers fuck all protection Marv.

There’s more chance of Pep picking me and you to play there.
 
Morning blues ,

Got a bad feeling about today, it seems any side with any sort of intensity has a field day with us lately , don’t let certain results cover over the current cracks, Arsenal will probably have a middle 3 which against our old legs (Midfield 2) worries me , PSG as a example , we just don’t keep the ball and we get lost in the midfield , teams too easily play around us in the final third and at times we shit ourselves.

I’d take a draw now but I’ll say 3-1 Arsenal as much as that pains me.

I do think once we get some players back we will be ok but this feels too soon almost.

Anyways hope I’m massively wrong and we shag them.

I would have Stones stepping into midfield when we have the ball. When we don't Stones to drop back into the back 4 as per usual.
 
You never know which city is going to turn up these days. Which is…..erm……exciting?!?! Go with the Chelsea shape and I think we win. Come on lads

The way the team is at the moment I'd settle for a draw, a few more weeks at this progress and I'd have us for a win but, hey ho, slowly slowly catch yer monkey.....As mentioned before, the pressure is off as not much at stake unfortunately.

We have 4 wins and 2 draws out of the last 6 Premier League games. They weren't against the strongest sides admittedly. I think we all recognise that without Rodrin in midfield and with KDB and Gundogan, our midfield gets run over. Well don't play KDB and Gundogan. Kovacic will start. I would put Grealish in midfield. He keeps the ball as well as anyone and is strong on the ball, and adept at the dark art that Arsenal use.

Me too, although I do miss the majesty of our play when we take the game away from the opponent.
Currently, it's like going on holiday for a couple of weeks and seeing things from a different perspective. More relaxing without the daily pressure of win, win, win. It is exhausting.
But I still want my 'crushing all before them' team to return.
Basically, I want everything, all ways... is that too much to ask for? ;)
