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

With Akanji being fit the defence should still be good enough for Sunday, i don't suppose they asked if they’d be fit for Madrid?

Waistcoat doesn't have a clue. If he doesn't have any other options than John (and we have seen he is unlikely to play 2 games in a week) why isn't he playing Branthwaite, Konsa and Dunk together, because he will need them at the next tournament. Maguire is fragile too. John shouldn't have even been in the squad, same with Kyle.

If he doesn't know enough about them by now, he never will. I swear he'd play John Terry if he could get into his shorts.

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 dont see it like that. Its just we shouldn't underestimate them thats all. They're top for a reason. We all know that if we play well we will have too much for them but it won't be easy.

Definitely won’t be easy. I just always look at it as we are the best team on the planet atm and don’t fear anybody.
That’s not to say it means we are a guaranteed win of course because we’ve followed this sport long enough to know it can bite you on the arse.
I’d rather big City up though because when all said and done we have the receipts that show what we’ve accomplished recently.

It's not ideal but we need to get over it. Shit happens. Liverpool have suffered a lot in terms of numbers out recently and they've done alright. Need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and get it done

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

Who, John? I find him one of the brighter players and speaks articulately.

 

[Don Karleone]

Any news on Ederson?

Just that he's "much better". No idea if that means he'll be ready in time.

 

[Brewster's millions]

I have a feeling that we could be in for a bit of a surprise line up with both Walker and Stones missing on Sunday.

The logical thing would be playing Gvardiol and Akanji as full backs, but I wouldn’t be that surprised if we just play three at the back actually, and play an extra midfielder instead.

I agree, apparently Branthwaite is the next coming, so why not see if he can do it for England, in a friendly!!
How will he know now if Branthwaite or Palmer could be the answer in the Euros, if you don't try them in these meaningless games!

But the clueless waistcoat one, is more concerned about his own stats over what's best for England or for a players health and the fact that Stones was picked for that second game show this.

Stones' injury is down to that clueless, clown of a manager, no one else.

John Terry can get into any ones shorts
