Im not sure the rush to get Saka and Timber back will be worth it long term, They're obviously crocked and who knows whats happening or being injected behind the scenes to make them available.
Bring them back early and lose anyway you could see them out for longer.
Bring them back early and win you could see them out for longer
All bringing them back early really does is up the risk of crocking them long term as well as paper over the fact that Legohead has a painfully thin pool of players he's willing to select from.
Squads win titles....first 11's do not.
Arteta appears to not understand this.
So avoidable all of this.
1. Players should have been encouraged to pull out of the internationals or feign injury.
4x meaningless matches already this season
2. Why play a full strength side for every CL fixture ? We can qualify playing a reserve side.
3x meaningless matches in that already this season
So as a result of playing everyone in the meaningless matches we now arrive at a really important match with half the team injured!!
This is not bad luck - it was so very predictable.
Apalling management. no wonder we never win anything.
If a player pulls out of international duty don't the FA send round their own medical team to assess the injury, if I'm right (rhetorical question btw) then this point is moot.
As for your last point about appalling management, go back to your flaw in point 1.
Lads you're all becoming atypical pool fans, seriously, it's been a very hard start to the season, so what, lost ONE game, honestly I'm embarrassed with some of your needy and misplaced entitled attitudes.
Aaaaand BOSH! Lefty hits a Six Out Of The Ground!
AS for players pulling out (oooh errr missus! ) I guess all they would have to do - If the ingerland / FA medico's came a calling is Wince a little bit... SORRRTED!
Maybe Arteta is too honest for his own good. As something tells me with Saka on the left wing; as much as he definitely does deserve a rest... we would have beaten Bournemouth. But with Jayzoos on the wing; in fact anywhere on the pitch, is like having an Empty Shirt dashing around losing the ball.
Trossard should definitely be a Sub, because he isn't as good when he starts.
Yup! Saliba is a HUGE miss, and should Partey play at RB... there could be "Problems".

We Can Definitely Win this... as perusal we MUST take our chances.
About time we also benefitted from a contentious decision.
Absolutely and you'd hope we have the whole fucking crowd on the ref's back from the very first whistle. You just know though that we'll see them 'delaying the restart' and avoiding a booking numerous times and of course, getting away with being booked a second time.
We won't benefit from any decisions today against this lot That table that was out during the week with us on -6 or whatever spoke volumes...We were the only big team in the negatives i think.

Yes, it IS About Time, BUT it will All depend on what Webb has agreed in advance with The Global Betting Syndicates (including the Saudi-Fucks) AND if he is going to fake a decision in our favour to throw those who suspect an agenda (which for me there is) off the Scent.
If we had our first 13 best players available I would be confident of a Win; again allowing for PGMOL'sCorrupt interference.
Usually I tend to think it's in the hands of the Gods, but with a much weakened team the scousers will be "Tight" and so as I said previously we need to make sure we Take Every Slither of a Chance and NO Dopey Fuck-Ups at the Back by you Know Who.
We need a Win or Cheaty will soon be out of sight and long gone over the hill.
It would be a HUGE 3 points what with the world and his Pooch knowing we are depleted and so as such carries even more importance than would be usual for a game against these Job-Shy-House-RobbingCUNTS.

Lose or even draw today and I would say it's over..Cheats would be 5 clear with a draw and with visits to Toon and Chavski in the next 2 it would be all but over imo.

just thinking that ...would be very difficult to catch City even at this early stage
We need a crowd performance as well as team performance, if the home crowd put in a Jesus or partey of a performance it’ll be deathly quiet which will transfer to the pitch.
Lose this and the upcoming 2 tough games and its season over in November, I’d settle for a change of manager at that stage because for what he’s spent to have such a paper thin squad is criminal.
Game lost right there, couple that with a mis firing Trossard and MArtinelli, a crocked Saka and Timber and an under performing rice there only one outcome here bar some form of miracle performance.
