Arsenal (A) - Wed 15th Feb, 19:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[The Future’s Blue!]

Aluko is a pundit tonight on Amazon. We know what to expect…

I’m watching on Premier and they have SWPs and his dad. Such a God send not having to listen to the likes of her, or Neville, Carragher and the other Red tops on BT or Sky.

It's the same line-up as the last game I think, the only exception is that Ake is playing now which I'm not sure was a good idea, because Laporte is a better player in my opinion.

I think Ake deserves the place.. He’s been solid

 

[GazM]

Tomiyasu picked over White for Arsenal, so perhaps a change in approach for them with their fullbacks playing wider.

Wider and with more attacking threat I'd say. Oh for a left back...

Would love to see Kev and Erling at full tilt tonight, could win us the game on their own if they're firing

Pep looks ill and/or extremely tired

If it’s old fashioned to keep moaning, along the same lines, THEN YES YOU ARE

Not sure I’m even close to the top moaners on here, but still, better old fashioned than a tosser.

Ake is nowhere near Laportes level - we all know that. Shouldn't have changed it IMO.

 

[mancityscot]

we play a back 3 thou

I rest my case

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

What'd he say to you?

That's between me and Baldy. ;-)

He's a better wide defender (up against a speedy winger) than Laporte though.
