Brentford (A) - Wed 29th Dec, 20:15 | Pre-Match Thread

[Rammy Blue]

Rodri available today?

He’s not been seen, my guess is he has covid.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Still mystery surrounding Rodri? Pep mentioned stones and walker were still unavailable but no mention of rodders?

Was he not selected to avoid ban with 5th yellow?

This game and the Arsenal game is against teams who are very mobile quick on the break it going to be a very tough game at Arsenal with the confidence sky high and when young players are full of confidence this will be so hard for us especially with Arsenal having a week rest.

We need to win tonight then a draw or a loss is just a hiccup.

there is no excuse for a hiccup. if we don't smash arsenal atleast by 5 goals I will be disappointment in the team

 

[M Gaudino]

massive changes tonight - you could see last night how goosed both teams were

grealish foden rodders walker stones hopefully all fit and starting. maybe even Ake as well. we have to rotate. the concern eill be fatigue on the midfielders - kdb gundog and silva. we have no reserves for those

Physioroom has him down as having Covid?

Our recovery time should be less than other teams, due to the way we play.

Brentford are a good side and anything less than 95% will see us struggle.

Rodri won't play tonight, he'll be saved for Arsenal, Pep will want to win there, with the master v apprentice stuff! Ferni and Gunny will be our midfield.

Hopefully Brentford won't be at full strength and we can control the game and our energy levels for Arsenal.

We struggle when teams sit in Arsenal will try and play out from the back and press in a similar style to us .
However they are not as good at it we should win but it will be tight because of their form and confidence

Ah that’s a shame if true mate, don’t the club normally mention Covid? Or maybe they are trying to keep any Covid issues in house and on the quiet?

 

[Tez Tosterone]

Arteta to miss upcoming match with City due to positive COVID test.

Not for tonight's game but Arsenal on Saturday ...
