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

I'd give anything for a performance down there like the one from our 100 pt season.
F#cking sublime football that night with Dave pulling the strings.
Stadium had almost emptied after an hour

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Ramsdale starts.

 

[heslops barnet]

Dias and Laporte at centre half, Ake left back

Please don't over think it, Pep

That’ll be a first then……

Unfortunately I can see all this media pressure on the officials will result in Arsenal being favored this evening

That only matters when we don’t take our chances or play well enough to create them in the first place.

Partey out is a big boost for us, but the cynic in me says Jorginho will have a dream performance against the team he almost joined.

He should be our no. 1 target - we'll overrun them in midfield.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Usually does.

Fuck off, in a pub near the ground, need that king of pessimism like ….. (can’t think of an appropriate analogy)

It was empty from the first whistle.

Will be slightly concerned if Pep uses the Bernardo role like he did on Sunday against Arsenal tonight, would prefer it to be Walker, Dias, Laporte and Ake back 4

 

[Agueroooooooooooo]

Whether Partey is out or not shouldn’t matter to us. We need to somehow marry the defensive solidity against Arsenal in the cup with the incisive and press beating passes against Villa.



Whether Partey plays won’t stop Odegaard, Martinelli and Saka being real threats. Besides I’m old enough to remember being excited by an FA Cup 6th round match at home to Spurs because Barmby was out. Nayim played instead and scored a hat trick. If Jorginho plays no doubt he’ll score a penalty, especially after Arteta’s rant at PGMOL yesterday!



A wonder goal like Phelan's would be good, probably skip the pitch invasion though.

3-1 City.
