Fuck , Nunes should be nowhere near a match day squad, rather have Lewis

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

No Ederson even in the squad. This is the maddest season in years.

 

[deano ou812]

What’s the fake injuries and tactical time outs team lineup..

 

[Goater=Legend]

Far more attacking than I expected, looks like they'll be goals in this game.

 

[Ric]

Very attacking line-up, quite like it tbh. Shame if Ederson is injured again though.

 

[deano ou812]

No Ederson even in the squad. This is the maddest season in years.

Could be something personal that maybe has him absent hope it’s nothing otherwise serious like kicking off or whatever..

 

[Tolmie scores]

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.

Bite your hand off for a pont away v this lot right now

Saving them for Orient

 

[WallyA]

4231 likely, Savio left, Foden right.

Nunes to go wide so Foden tucks in next to Marmoush

 

[oldius]

Great line-up, Ederson apart.

 

[Impeccable One]

4-3 … just not sure to who !

 

[mccity]

 

[malg]

No KdB or Gundogan in the starting line up. The Matchday Thread lot will be happy.......should be fun in there today.

 

[Gene_Kelly]

Just seen the Tarquins have only beaten a top 11 side twice this season....

 

[mosssideblue]

Happy with the line up

 

[jimharri]

Still no sign of Bobb. Not even on the bench. He's back in training, isn't he?

 

[deano ou812]

Look whatever happens regardless,as long as we all stay humble ;-)

Saving them for Orient

Sorry misread. We need to know who their trainer/ medic is, they put the most work in

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Hope @kaz7 is alright. Not been seen on here for a bit and always posts the team news.

 

[Blu1]

Our midfield will be empty. Kova will be left alone. Surprised Rico not in for Nunes to offer a bit more central control. Can’t believe he’s gone with no Gundy or Kev I expected one of them to play at least but at least we have a bit more pace in us

Hope we get first goal otherwise it will be a long game
