Was fairly sure we'd get whacked here a couple of weeks back but more confident we can get something now. 

Fingers crossed their injuries don't improve before Sunday. 

[BigBird]

Arsenal are not as strong as the previous two seasons. Missing Odegard has diminished their midfield, their attack is still feeble, in defence Calafiori is slower than a slug and having Saliba banned hasn't improved their chances against us.

As bad as Arsenal were against Bournemouth, they we even worse last night against a very poor Shakhtar side.

We are too good to drop points against them on Sunday unless we gift them goals like last season, and I just can't see that happening.

 

 

[YugoB]

We couldnt have asked to play them at a better time if none of their players make it back by Sunday.

Theyre missing Odegaard tremendously in midfield, hes world class at dictating the game, creating chances and making them tick in the final third.

If Saka is out, thats their top scorer and biggest attacking threat. Still they have other players who can step up but that would be a big advantage.

We should be doing our best to isolate whoever is going to partner Gabriel in Salibas absence, with Darwin and use his pace. Diaz and Salah need to test their fullbacks if Timber,White and Califiori are all out.

They pose a great deal of danger at set pieces and minimizing that will be a challenge, especially as rhey are massive s***houses

Id love to see Curtis play instead of Dom, with Ryan and Macca. Dom is too reckless with the ball for my liking as of late, especially for this game away.

 

[psl]

Saka will definitely play.

Last season a*** were going through a wobble until we went there and shat the bed and got them back into contention 

Hopefully we play better this time round

They’re gonna ping it through channels to Martinelli. Arteta is a real one of those if he had success before he’ll do it again types.

[Ripley]

Anthony Taylor, of course. 
Michael Salisbury on VAR

I really hope so. They were our toughest opponent last year. Even that time we beat them. They played with a physicality and intensity we struggled with

Is this your feeling? Even if he does it’s not ideal to be rushing him back, might not have the 90 in him

I'd be amazed if he doesn't start and play the whole game. He has only missed a couple games.

No Odegaard or Saliba is still a big advantage though.

The word on the street was that Saka was always going to be available for our game. I don’t know about their other injuries other than Odegaard is deffo out.

[smithdown]

What these are is ponderous and there’s no room for that nonsense when we are in town.

[Flasher]

Not losing would be great. Winning would be incredible. We've definitely got a chance to win given their injuries. Odegaard has been massive for them in recent seasons, he dictates everything for them up top and was always going to be the one they would miss most if he's out. Saliba being out is a massive bonus as the other one is a nut job, erratic.

Stop their corners and we're good.

Saka has created more than anyone in the league this season.

[Jarg Armani]

I’m concerned they will try and hurt us, the cynical fckers. Especially partey on mac 

[Cobs]

enormous opportunity to cement title credentials and really hurt them. Best team, everyone on it. Destroy them.

 

take a 0-1 Salah dive for a pen.

He's developing very well. Great long term replacement for Salah when he realises Arsenal will never win anything under lego head.

Pretty sure we were missing Virg last year weren't we?

Hopefully Konate smashes into him early on, that usually does the trick to keep him quiet

Virgil and Alisson messed up for their third goal

I'd quite like one of theirs to be sent off for an iffy, borderline second yellow if we're making wishes.

No clue where I got that idea now. 

[McBain]

Virgil was a late withdrawal in the cup game. We had 11 missing that day I think
