Weak back four! But I guess that’s about the best we can put out at the moment. Off to find a bar showing the game here in lovely Madeira. First game of the season - please don’t be a letdown. And shoot ffs!

[M-50]

Fingers crossed we demonstrate the right attitude and passion today.

Start of season, new gaffer - won’t be a better time to give everything we got, fans included.

Very surprised that Doozy is starting today.

[M-50]

Anyone know who captains today?

Solid performance in pre season. Looks every bit a top class operator, no? (Ignoring the age/experience)

I'd agree with all of that but it's still a massive call to give him his senior debut against the defending champions in the season opener. I thought he'd play Torreira tbh.

Com'on assist king bring your 'A' game against an elite team for a change ..

Cech, I think.

[Gunner Rob]

Wonder what Arteta is thinking sat there!

[Midz]

Torreira is probably our most exciting signing followed by Doozy. Dunno if he has to play one or the other and not both or if he feels Doozy warrants a starting place more than the Uruguayan. We'll have to wait n see.

COYG.

Whether he has chips & salsa in his kitchen to enjoy the game.

Xhaka and Mustafi have improved massIvely I see

Add fucking helmet head to that list too. Down the middle of the goal - SAD.

[Gunner Rob]

Great movement by Cech

[GoonerMuzz]

Anyone surprised?
