Mate is a gooner.....I'd take a 1-0 defeat now, and take the shit, as the way we are playing at the moment it might be an ass-kicking.

i can understand that we arent playing well but if you look at the recent performances by both teams and the relative opposition then they are not to dissimilar.
 
Pep has evidently said "For this match, we will rely on the same squad we used against Club Brugge.” Surely Marmoush will play or has Pep made a booboo?

Tough one today. This lot are serious title contenders and CL contenders - one of the best sides in Europe, or even the world right now. They are a force to be reckoned with.

Their forward line will run our defence ragged and our full backs will have a tough day. Not just their forward line though as their full midfield would walk into ours right now. Lots of strength in depth and creativity all over the field - in Rice they have a player who they could easily walk into Real Madrid's starting 11. He's proved that the price tag was actually a steal and they could probably double their money if they put him on the market.

Add to that the fact that Arsenal are a professional outfit as well and won't delve into the 'dark arts' to beat us. They won't pack their defence, they'll be at us from the very start. They're not a team who will dive or roll over at the slightest bit of contact.

I'd take 1-1 right now and move onto easier games.

You missed out the fact that Havertz would terrorise prime Maldini/Baresi. Also that the ref will need to be on his guard against City 'hatchet man' Foden trying to take out Gabriel with an early reducer.

I like the Maldini/Baresi bit - to be fair I did rush it today as I'm in work....

Why are they trying to force this as a rivalry?

we arent , the tarquins are, they need something to get hyped up and be emotional about, hence they make every bad decision into a personal attack, every win is era defining, every loss is earth shattering, it comes from captain black and has filtered through to the players
 
I'd really love another scruffy draw with a controversial goal. But I actually feel strangely good about today. I just smell the bitch emanating from the Emirates, a bit of luck in our favour and they will crumble like the soggy biscuits they are. 2 nil City.

Spot on,be the same today if they win all celebrating ( nothing wrong with that of course) but it’s the way they’ll go about it as if it’s a title decider then the penny drops and they realise that they are still in second spot..
 
I'd like to see something like this. Think Pep will play Nunes at right back and bring in one of Kev, Gundo or Bernardo for Khusanov instead though.

Ederson

Khusanov
Akanji
Stones
Gvardiol

Nunes
Kovacic
Foden

Marmoush
Haaland
Savinho

its the excessiveness, a lap of honour after a win in the league is ridiculous, and then the whole world is against us crap when decisions went against them against villa (correctly) and against wolves (very subjective), i dont understand the skelly reversal because if you are going to have VAR look at it and agree with the onfield decision and then review it AGAIN after the fact and disagree with var whats the point.
 
I fear our midfield will get overrun but I will wait to see what Pep comes up with to stifle them. Erling needs to hold the ball up as Ederson to him is him will be a regular occurrence in this game
