Arsenal (A) - Sun 2nd Feb, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We won’t be playing long over the top balls into the space then

We might, just not quite as accurately.

Ortega is still decent with his feet.

 

[Gigant]

Risky line up
Khusanov should started

Nunes is way too offensive , Gvardiol the same
Should have somebody to connect with defence
We bascially have two defenders in such a game

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

"flapping morons"? In the match thread?

You have the patience of a saint, Jim: )

 

[pbueno16]

And not get to far forward early doors

He has to be aware of who's holding the line behind him so he should play it safe

 

[akrh215]

That's a fucking strong lineup, if we can get the guy from Porto and Cambiaso, we'll be very strong again! Really only Nunes and midfield are obviously the weakest, obviously we should have a healthy Rodri and we'd be fine. And Dias I hope he comes back soon, we really need him.

Would that be Nunes?

Definitely no Khusanov. We should try NOT to destroy this kid before he has a chance to settle

 

[Eccles Blue]

Yep he puts up with my cheekiness so he must have the patience of a Saint! :-) ;-)

 

[GaudinoMotors]

No Khusanov?????

 

[Fordyboy46]

No complaints in that team selection, come on City let's get a result against these twats

Lol.

Great to see Johnboy starting, EB. Fingers crossed he stays fit.

 

[pbueno16]

Would that be Nunes?

Yea, him and Gvardiol maybe getting caught too far up on a counter and Akanji being left alone to cover the middle.

 

[Really_here]

I'd rather he started instead of Nunes

Kusanov is not ready.

Worrying

 

[malg]

I'd rather concentrate on the game than read the opinions of flapping morons.

It's a fair point, but the thread is normally more entertaining.

 

[heslops barnet]

I'd rather he started instead of Nunes

Or start with 10 men?

 

[117 M34]

Shame ederson isn't playing, especially as he's seemed to come back into form the past few weeks since getting his place back.
My initial thought is he is sorting out a move to saudi and not injured but hope that's not the case.
Not a fan of ortega so wouldn't want him being first choice for the rest imof the season.

Think we'll get beat 2-1 unfortunately.
Looks to me a bit more of a 4 4 2 formation with marmoush playing just behind haaland. Savio and foden on the wings.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Nice line up that. I really think Nunes has looked very good going forwards from right back and he gives us a good outlet turning defence into attack very quickly..I'd like to see how Khusanov does there too so hopefully at 0-4 to City after 60 minutes he will get a run out.

 

[Lemon7277]

Seems Oscar bob still ain't as ready as pep thought..just to make the bench would be a huge lift for the lad
