I see someone mentioned jorghino, personally I'd have had him playing a lot more this season, the guy has an eye for a great pass and generally goes forward, I can't understand that we are creating so few chances yet he doesn't play.
Agreed, much better player than Partey. Although a bar isn't very high :D

The only thing of interest tonight is who has a go at being a striker :D
He surely can’t start with Merino…..then again can he really start with Sterling ?

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Nwaneri, Trossard, Merino.

Subs: Neto, Kiwior, White, Zinchenko, Tierney, Partey, Sterling, Kabia, Butler-Oyedeji.


Merino up front. What a fucking masterstroke. Can't see us moving the ball quick enough to even get it anywhere near him not scoring. The Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard midfield might just be the first one in the history of football to play a whole game and not pass the ball forward at any stage. A bench full of firepower too. Hopefully, we can stick Kiwior, White, Zinchenko and Tierney on if we need a goal with 20 minutes to go.

Haha - can’t believe we have gone for the same shit again . Yes I know there is still shit on the bench but at least try and mix it up a bit!

Same losers from the other day then - zero consequences for losing. Wow …. :banghead:

I won’t see this as it’s my eldest daughter’s birthday and we’re out. Can’t say I’m sorry. There was a time when, I’m ashamed to say, I’d have been gutted to miss a game, even for a family event and I might have engineered a way to not miss it. :oops:

Now I don’t give a fuck and my priorities seem more in order.

2-0 loss I’d imagine.
