Surely the only reason this is being questioned is due to gyokeres’s fitness levels?
He’ll be first choice this season over Havertz

If Gyokres doesnt start and we don't win then that will be it for me this season
even half fit he will be a threat upfront......arteta totally committed but always been lacking tactically

I hope we win and win convincingly. I want Gyokeres to do well. This is how my heart feels.

I still don't think we've done what was needed and that's to stregnthen the team.

Who knows, we'll see later on.

Good luck Gunners.

Dowman comes on with 20min to go and scores the winner - now that would be something to write home about.
Trouble is Midz that's the kind of thinking that Arteta would NEVER Entertain... as many have said he is Tactically Inept. Sad But True. He has One Plan and set of playing patterns.... the players dare not vary from that or they'll find themselves benched or worse.

Whilst I like the idea of that. I think it's probably more likely we'll see Kiwior coming on with 20 minutes left to protect a 1-0 lead.

I’m not sure where its come from but this havertz before victor nonsense needs to stop.

If i switch on today to victor on the bench ill be livid and although i didnt think i could be more against temu temu temu pep id have been wrong.

First game strongest 11, no room for ohdeargod or havertz, if both are in the starting 11 we can give up now.
cant afford to have odergaard disapearing in this one....

It's what Captain Invisible does best....There's more chance of that than Simon Hooper the Fat Ref Cǔnt not breaking into a sweat after 5 minutes :?

I understand Califiori instead of MLS, as he has more experience in a Big Game; not that that matters to MLS who takes on All Comers... But also MLS hasn't been as good as he was Last Season; which in all honesty was exceptional.

I would have preferred Timber to Benny Blanco as the latter hasn't been at the races during Pre-season.
