Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[SWP's back]

I’m sorry but John Stones needs to take responsibility. He’s 29 he knows his own body. He shouldn’t have played vs Belgium.

Think the team picks itself now anyway;

Ortega; Akanji Dias Gvardiol Ake; Rodri Kovacic; Bernardo KDB Foden; Haaland.

I’ll be surprised if it’s anything but that

Love him as a player but let’s face it, he’s not the sharpest tool in the box of round things.

I see the pessimists are determined to big up Arsenal as the best club side on the planet whilst we are lucky to be in the top 4.
The penny will drop one day…

I have, playing John Stones in back to back friendly fucking games was fucking scandalous but why would the waistcoat wanker give a fuck he’s never going to win anything anyway the ****.

How many times has stones got injured this season?? Kyle and stones should have not risked being played in a shit friendly

 

[waspish]

Think these will be the best side we will play this season in the league they can defend deep keep the ball dive waste time better than any team!

Every team we have played this season at home we have deserved to win them with the amount chances we make! The draws is because we ain't taking our chances..

 

[skillman]

Any news on Ederson?

 

[Nour]

Stones needs to take more responsibility for his health

He should have thought of how many times he has got injured just this season and not risked himself with defining games coming up

Chicken and egg. Southgate shouldn’t even be contemplating starting him twice in two pointless friendly games given his injury record (and only relatively recently being back from injury). Not the first time either, proper twat.

Agreed but Stones needs to speak up. He’s got the right to an opinion about his own capabilities

 

[Kamaro011]

I bet he has thoughts though.

He know the risk for every single of his player playing in international games so why use of him being angry about it?

He knows he can't force his player to not playing for their country at all.

I agree, however I don't know him personally but I would imagine he didn't want to be a Ben White within the group being so close to the Euros. Ultimately Wastecoat put England ahead of his health.

So did John
