But how long do you wait before bringing him back into the team? Not having a go at you, by the way. I just find it baffling that he comes on for the second half on.wednesday night, yet isn't deemed ready for this afternoon.
I kind of agree but he didn't seem that sharp against inter. No one played especially well though so he wasn't an odd one out. Maybe there is more to it and he's struggling to get back to match fitness for some unknown reason, not the illness.
 
Could just tell Doku not to dribble. Turn inside to win free kicks and just pass it square every time he has it.
I like Doku and Savinho. Lots of raw talent but it is a gamble to play them both against Arsenal. Still Pep always attacks come what may. It’s never boring is it?
 
See I'm less concerned about them on the break, as I think without Odegaard they'll struggle to play through midfield as freely.

We just have to take any chances we get, as we can't afford to not be ruthless.

I think a bit of chaos is our way of winning today without Kev and Phil.

Ideally it's time for Savinho to fully arrive, and for Doku to be electric.
I’ll never go into a City game not expecting us to win the game.
Today is no different but there’s certain aspects of the line up that are heavily risk and reward which is unusual for us these days.
 
They are and a lot will depend on how often we lose the ball on the wings.
Like I said earlier though, having that speed on the wings may make them sit deeper than you’d expect.
Would Arteta throw caution to the wind?

Interesting tactical call.
So far we are more wide open this season that will play a part in Arteta's plans. If this game was at the tail end of the season they would be a lot more cautious.
