Arsenal (H) - Sat 28 Aug 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

I just hope we score. Could be rather uncomfortable if we draw a blank after this week.

I have a suspicion that this will be a tight tetchy game. Arteta desperately needs a result and will try and do as he did in Wembley last summer. They have pace and creativity but a dodgy defence and lack confidence.

We can’t afford to let them grow into the match. We need an early goal, Torres especially as he’s effectively our only striker this season. Fingers crossed that we don’t miss KDB or Foden.

 

[Legal Alien]

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko

Gundogan
Rodri
Grealish

Jesus
Torres
Sterling

Let's get another win and put on a show to let people know we're still the best team in the league.

COME ON CITY!!!

Torres is no more our only striker than Sterling or Jesus.The only true striker we have is Delap.
It will be a tough game,but we are hardly struggling for brilliance.There is a reason we are the best team in Europe,and that is predominantly the luxury of squad depth/talent.

Any team would miss the above two,only we can cope so much better.

Expecting a very strange atmosphere tomorrow after this week`s non-transfer activity.. It`s a dinner time kick off and it`s going to be quiet, very quiet. Until the blue on blue starts up.

Hope the players haven’t been too affected by the goings on this week. Hearing your manager say he’s off after 2 more years, big name transfers falling through and then your teammate being imprisoned.
if we win this game, all credit to their character

Don't usually care what other fans think of us but I just remembered that on top of the striker thing we're going to unveil those awful statues tomorrow too. Horrible week for the club this.

 

[supercity88]

They found some form midweek and some goals too. I think it will be a tough game. As long as we are not sloppy with the ball we'll win it though. Going for a 4-2 win to City.

The players will be fine despite the drama on BM this week. They'll be fully focussed. I reckon Grealish will steal the show tomorrow.

 

[Del_Bosque]

The Mendy disgrace

the transfer debacles

not sold out

early kick off

could be a grim atmosphere tomorrow

Surprised some on here aren't confident about a result against us, we had a good win last night, but it was against West Brom kids, the only thing that it did was to lift the gloom a bit.

We still have a couple of our better players out, & by feck we don't have shit the bed against you guys.

4 nowt.
