John Stones is made of glass.

Conor Gallagher seemed to be on a personal mission to nobble him and might have succeeded

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

I'll take a 0-1 and 3 points please. Thank you

Just get the 3 points in the bag. Would take a 1-0. Gomez, Cancelo and Akanji nowhere near the lineup please.

What the fuck has Akanji done wrong?

 

[SJT]

John Stones at 30% would still be in for me.
He could play - this is bollox.

 

[MCFC1993]

We'll miss Stones.

Great centre back, only negative is his injuries.

 

[BrianW]

That is about the worst team news we could have. Stones is a major asset in a game like this.

I'd take 0 - 0 :-(

Win lose or draw I'm pretty certain we'll go on to win the league. Arsenal have been excellent so far, but I wouldn't put it past them to lose three or four on the bounce at some point.

Arsenal fans openly admit that they are only ever going to be an injury away from losing the league. If they lose a key player like Odegaard they simply don't have the players to step in. They may do a Leicester and be really lucky throughout, but I doubt it. Despite our backup players performing terribly en masse against Southampton, generally speaking we are able to cope with injuries to key players

Lol. Akanji has been one of our best players since joining. Is this a typo?

 

[kashmir]

A shot on target would suffice instead of endless backwards sideways passing when losing in the 90th min like v Southampton
Please pep unleash the beasts tomorrow
