Can we risk Haaland getting injured though¿

Don’t see the problem playing Haaland, 9 day gap until the Spurs game. He could get injured in training, I hope he plays on Friday.

Looks like a sell out

Leave haaland on the bench for this let Alvarez chase them down. Can’t see pep risking him in this over league & champs league games.

Arsenal have been feisty this season too.

I think so. If he looses his rhythem again then he's as bad as injured in a way. He's had ages off this last few months. And sometimes you risk injury by not actually playing enough. He doesn't run as much as our other players so his risk of muscular injuries is lower. With 5 subs now, nobody should really need resting. Just my opinion of course

This is a very good point. There are as many injuries in training than in matches - if not more

In my crystal ball... I see a fantastic incoming treble win in the gunners matches!

 

[citymad]

I'd happily lose this game...

Unfortunately you'll remember you said that.

Hopefully for the sky blue team!

 

[applejuice]

I will play the same team as vs Spurs because they should get this reward and bring on KDB 2nd half.

Absolutely!

Depends on how often you wash your crusty crystal ball:)

Take no notice.

so you question the team re Gundo but then criticise Pep for not picking that team?????

Plant Pot ,there was no criticism of Pep inmy reply ,but clearly stated Pep will not pick that team and the team selected is F.I's suggested team and not Pep's and i prefer Gundo in for Berni in F.I.'s selected team , its not rocket science............................ or maybe it is for you

 

[Damanino]

would be awful to lose this for see them gaining even more momentum and confidence and us not having a game for the next 8 days and then bogey team Spurs away is up next we lost that away fixture 3 times in last 3 PL games without even scoring a goal.

huge two games for Pep & team.

Goals are like buses! We'll go there and score 5 or 6 this time!

Bit worried about this one, we seem to be a little more pedestrian with the ball these days. Watching the last twenty minutes of that Arse v Scum game the other night and the Arse still looked full of pace and movement as they were tearing the recently appointed (according to the gutter press) worlds greatest team apart, time and time again.
However they dress it, the rag scum are shite though and we should have smashed them. As I said though, the Arse looked bloody good. We will need to be on our A game to win and I think we will nick it 2-1

 

[Manchester33]

A draw isn't the worst result. Would mean they have an extra game to contend with, and I believe their squad isn't as good as ours.

The best result would be a complete hammering of their first XI though. Just to sew some seeds of doubt.

 

[aguero93:20]

Think we'll lose this one tbh, 57th minute for Andy is the important bit though lads. Won't make it over but I'll be on my feet clapping at home.
