Arsenal (H) - Wed 26th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Plain Speaking]

Nothing released that I've seen but looking at the way he pulled up it's extremely unlikely imo we'll be seeing him back before Madrid at the earliest.
Those Hammie tweaks even when minor take a while to clear up and are liable to go again but to a worse extent if you rush them. Did mine back in January and while it wasn't too bad (was walking, even jogging and getting about my day to day stuff with no issues) it was still 3 weeks rest and 2 weeks of physio/rehab before the physio would clear me for cycling or rowing.
Aké is younger and no doubt fitter than I am with access to better care but he's got a higher bar of intensity to clear as well.

Last time he pulled his hamstring he came back too soon and was out for about 4 months total! Difficult injuries hamstrings , particularly against speedy wingers!

My money is on Oleks








to cry

He seems to have got good at that since joining the arse

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

We certainly need to target zinchenko, he's bobbins definensivley

I like the way we previously pushed Walker tight on him and Kyle won every header from Ederson passes

Benzodiazepines and Barbiturates are going to have a key roll I can tell - Would play them both.

 

[Proelious]

1-0, Rodri with a 30-yard screamer

 

[jollylescott]

I am praying Rob Holding starts, literally praying.

You need to speak to @Inter Me Nan. Rumour has it he has connections in high places :-)

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Let City be themselves...no hype,drama or theatrics just RUTHLUSS..RELENTLESS..REMORSELESS.

Team virtually picks itself who starts wide right and in 8 is the only place I can see that could go to 1 or 2 different players.

Ederson

Akanji
Dias
Laporte

Stones
Rodri

Bernardo
Kdb
Gundogan
Grealish

Haaland

Haaland vs Holding it is

Not just Holding, but defensively they are all over the place at the moment. Probably jinxed it now, watch Holding have the game of his life on Wednesday if he plays.
