Was told he limped off against Leicester

Today's papers are saying three months out.

Tbh, van dijk reminds me of kos when he joined us first - fast and good at recovering and good on the ball, but defensively lazy and lacks concentration. He seems to view himself more as a ball player than the traditional centre half :roll:
That being said, after losing fonte, losing this guy for any length of time would be a devasting blow to their confidence and could see them go into freefall

I'm the same. It not only speaks volumes about us, but it says plenty about the PL as well.

Hopefully. Both Welbeck and Perez need games.

The Ox? Meh. :|

If we play to our potential(which rarely happens) then we will win comfortably, but the more likely outcome is Southampton being mad up for it, and as soon as we are a couple of goals down, then we will start playing. I've lost count of the amount of games thrown away in the last decade, because we cant be arsed to start the game with any motivation or pace.

I really can't see anything other than us playing poorly and losing 2-0 or at best scraping a lacklustre draw.

Who can really predict the way we will play?....what i would like to see is us coming out ready for the start....instead of sleepwalking through the first half....

still think Arsenal capable of getting rattled and panicking
