Arsenal (A) - Sun Oct 8th, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[I'm Blue]

Nothing but a win will do considering the opposition fans.
Let’s put a stop to their quadruple right now ; )

I don’t think his initial intentions were to do a bit of fishing. He’s just quickly backed down.
Why would you post something like he did for a joke? He’s realised what a fool he looked

He does it every game. He said it is some kind of superstition. Yet for some reason a dozen people always get wound up like a base drum

 

[Damanino]

going into a 2 weeks break with a loss in this game when all others won is really shit.
so better win it big time and let Arteta chew on it for 2 weeks rather than us.

dont want to see any defensive lapses, losing balls easily, conceding on first on target shot from them etc.
Haaland needs to hit the net rather than anything else.

we can beat them without Rodri and KDB, wont be easy just raise our games.

Oh right. Not everyone is aware that we have a problem on the forum. Best advise members to ignore or block him then :)

Haaland at the ready; he'll bring the hammer down tomorrow

1-3, Haaland and Grealish to score

Wolves game has really put the pressure on this one for me.

If we draw, ok, but if we lose that is 2 on the bounce and all 3 without Rodri.

I would love a win with 2 goals from Haaland.

City at the top, Haaland 10 in 8 and a feeling neither us or him had really got going yet.

Interesting game, we know how important Rodri, Stones & KDB are to this team and none will play tomorrow. Looks like Arsenal will have Saka but no Martinelli. They’ll fancy their chances as we haven’t hit the heights yet.

All the same, I wonder how Pep sets the midfield without Rodri. Bernardo will play big where? Do Foden and Alvarez both play? Grealish or Doku? Is it one of Lewis, Kovacic or Nunes? Hopefully Erling finds his shooting boots.

We can definitely go there and create enough chances to win but will we take them?

 

[Withnail]

Trossad is Arsenals most dangerous player

Agreed he goes under the radar, with more focus on Saka and Odegaard. Trossard always impressed at Brighton and if he plays on Sunday we need to keep him quiet.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Mark Goldbridge has predicted Arsenal to beat City even without Saka. FFS Goldbridge is the kiss of death for us. 2-1 City then

Is he the new Garth Crooks?

We’ve got to remain strong whilst the Arsenal Haka is sung pre-match.

Godspeed lads.
