Hope we stuff them and Raya shows himself up again in the process

What on earth has he done to deserve starting again?

Just makes a mockery of picking players on form. Ramsdale might as well find his January club now

[augie]

Raya is free to do as he wants

As is saka

I just don't get the obsession Arteta has with him. He's on fucking loan. If it doesn't work out, so fucking what?

[Gunner Rob]

I can see us struggling today. It is going to be one of those games where, like Stoke from 10 years ago, they will be overly aggressive without getting any kind of punishment, and we will wilt and cry about it rather than kicking them back.
Targeting Saka and Odegaard for the roughest treatment, of course.

I also fully expect them to score, a shitty, scruffy goal from a set piece, and have us huff and puff, without creating very much at all.

Aaaah! The Orcs of Stoke & Blackburn Rovers eh!? Those were days.... Kicking Arsenal players 6 feet in the air on cold wet Winter's night oop north and the Refs doing sweet FA...whilst Fat Slug cheek wobbling allardyce complained about Arsenal payers gong down easily having just been elbowed in the throat!

Thing is we Do have fighters in our ranks now... Not many but for sure: Gabriel, Tomi, Salibi, Rambo (if he plays) and Rice Rice Baby won't take any shit...


Arsenal win 5 - Nil or 5 - 1 at a pinch...

5-0 without a striker would be pretty good

[rodders999]

Eddie scoring a few in these types of games is exactly what we need. Pad his stats with some goals so he’s worth a few quid in the cash plus player deal we do for Toney in January

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Butter your bum hole boys, I reckon we are in for, at least, two and a half more years of Wengteta.

1 Ramsdale Should be Starting & replacing Raya ( el ataque del corazón)
6 Gabriel
8 Ødegaard
18 Tomiyasu
19 Trossard Should be playing instead of Saka
20 Jorginho
21 Fábio Vieira
24 Nelson
25 Elneny


Okay so 'Positives' ESR finally gets to start... Uhhhmmm Yup! That's it...


'Negatives' Raya remains in goal, how the Holy Fuck can that possibly be??? Eddie the feather gets to stroll around and smile a lot, Havertz gets to wander around like one of the cast from The Walking Dead...

I'm changing my prediction from 5-0 / 5-1 to 2 -1 (with fingers crossed) Fuck Off Arteta you Mug!

edit: Oh! And the ref Tim Robinson this will be only his 5th Prem League Game of his career as a ref...

I would love it if that came to be True Rodders... But there is no way on earth that Thomas Frank would want Eddie The Feather...

[Retro Gunner]

I never know with us. Could win this comfortably or struggle to a scrappy 1-0 win, or even a draw.

Glad to see ESR get a start but Trossard needs to play instead of Havertz…no chance of that though. With Havertz and Eddie we’re carrying two passengers.

I’m fine with seeing Raya play and want him to play at the Geordies too, regardless of what happens today. If he is dodgy in both games, then stick him on the bench for the rest of the season then send him back to Brentford. Leave him out now and people will be saying he hasn’t had a long enough chance etc.

[TeeCee]

Trossard not getting a start again? He deserves it more than ESR!
Havertz will lollop around the pitch pretending to press, pretending to be interested for 80 mins again FFS.
Raya.......can't afford a single fuck up today against this bunch, not one!!

[BobbyPires7]

This has early clanger to send us one nil down all over it.

Two!!

Bloody hell im happy to come back here later and admit I’m wrong but I just don’t see Nketiah ever scoring 2 goals in a PL game
[/quote]

He already has a few times to be fair.
Think we’ll win by a couple today but you never know!

There is that "Arrogance" in Arteta that we all witnessed in TOF... Considering we have a (new) very decent player (Rice) in our ranks, we should;d be so much better, but No!...at least not with Havertz and Raya in the team, it feels to me like a considerable step Down.

[TeeCee]

4-0

Come on you Gunners
