Atalanta arsewipes A Thur Sept 19th KO 8pm

[falkirk goon]

Next it's a trip to Italy to play the Europa league holders..They won today,think it was 3-2 and all of their front 3 scored.Itll be a hard game for sure,we should rotate with next Sunday in mind.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

I’d certainly play a weakened starting XI, at least. We don’t end to win this one.

[the playing mantis]

I actually do think we lose. Away in Europe which arsenal cannot crack bar gg, a Brighton type oppo city next week. Expect us to play within ourselves and be meek.

[rodders999]

The fixture computer has not been kind to us at all here. 3 away games in 7 days starting with the scum, then off to Italy (a Thursday CL fixture to boot ) and rounding the week off with an away trip to cheaty. Brutal schedule.

115 on the other hand get 3 home games in 8 days and an extra couple of days to prepare for us after playing inter at home Wednesday.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuunts.

I’d rotate heavily here, it’s impossible not to qualify for the next round anyway. If our dear old friend red member hadn’t been so harshly treated on here back in the day he’d be on this thread saying that this is NOT the most important game of the week.

These are all part of the Reasons why other Prem club, Fans and Related Bodies & Groups need to start being more and more and More vocal about these CheatyCunts AND the Prem & FA... It is Oh! So Very Easy to get a Computer (Software System) to arrive at an outcome or results 'preferred' by those using the system.
Just in the same way it is easy to Rig the outcome of a Poll by asking certain questions in a specific way and order.

Just another part of the obvious Corruption that is a Cancer in our Beloved game of Football.

ps: Atalanta are very good Attack Minded team.. They are well organised the way they can turn defence into Attack is similar to our way of doing things. This will not be an easy game, but IF we Can come away with a point or (three???!) it will have been a Good Night, especially if we suffer no injuries what with the squad being Threadbare 4 games into the season...

[DB10GOONER]

I probably won't even fucking watch this shit tbh.

[TeeCee]

Not sure if we have enough fit players to rotate!! But we need to as much as possible. Assuming no-one has recovered from injury....
My team would be

...........Raya

White......Saliba.....Gabi......Kiwior

Nwaneri......Rice......Partey......Sterling

.............Trossard
,....................................Jesus





If everyone was fit for this I'd play

.......Neto

Tomi......White.....Calafiori.......Tierney

Nwaneri.Partey.Merino.Slugchenko.....,......Sterling
............................Jesus

Fuck me TeeCee, I hope everyone isn't fit!!!

[TeeCee]

Really though mate, this Atalanta game can be thrown if need be. It won't stop us qualifying and we can't afford to lose anyone for the city game, that's a 100 times more important

[Gunner Rob]

I think basically the mindset needs to change for this new format.
Basically even if we play the reserves in all matches then we will qualify. It used to be 16 from the group stages - now it is 24. Even Celtic have a chance now!

Yes there is a bit of an incentive to finish in the top 8 but honestly isn’t it better to concentrate on the league and domestic cups rather than trying to finish in the top 8 of a Euro league ?

Chelsea have shown the way - their top player Cole Palmer hasn’t been included in their squad for the Euro group stages.

I’m more interested in beating Bolton next week than anything we do in Bergamo tomorrow evening. And that’s another thing - why are we playing on a Thursday ?

Got to spread the games for T.V. revenue .
Well they had to leave Palmer out because he was injured and could not play for England .They must be gutted that he recovered in time to play 90 minutes plus on the week end.

This round is the only time there will be Thursday night fixtures in the CL ,and of course we were 1 of the teams that just happened to end up playing on a thurs night

Away from home, sandwiched between 2 away games
