Arsenal vs Brentford 09/03/2024 - KO 17:30

I was nervous about the Newcastle game, I know they were god awful on the road but they had won at Villa Park recently and we had just lost to Porto and was bit concerned about potential hangover.


This one? No I’m fairly confident. If Arteta has any brains he will have played down the going top with a win aspect.


We are a team that is very confidence oriented but we do seem full of confidence. I suppose the only doubt is I’m not sure we’ve won more than seven league games on the trot under Arteta but I don’t think that is particularly a psychological barrier.

Trossard in for Martinelli. Hmm I know he came off injured on Monday, but thought he’d be back for the weekend. As long as it’s nothing serious probably not the worst time for him to pick up a knock.


Oh yeah and Ramsdale in for Raya…but that was obviously expected

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior, Rice, Jorginho, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Havertz.
Subs: Hein, Cedric, Zinchenko, Partey, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Nketiah, Jesus.

Brentford: Flekken, Roerslev, Zanka, Ajer, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Onyeka, Janelt, Wissa, Toney.
Subs: Strakosha, Maupay, Jensen, Ghoddos, Damsgaard, Baptiste, Yarmoliuk, Ji-soo, Arhtur.

Mac’s favourite player back :haha:

He won’t agree but this is good, we need more options in defence. Kiwior has done well enough to keep his place, but with rotation in mind it can’t hurt to have another full back available .

Really hope Ramsdale has a good game, last thing we need is the keeper debate propping up again.

Probably will be his last game for the club too so I’m sure he’ll want to deliver.

Yep

Shaking like a shitting dog during the reverse fixture. I think even if he’s chosen Raya as his first choice. Ramsdale should have got more games. Even if for no other reason than he’d have no choice but to play Ram for at least two games this season.

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Kiwior misses it, great ball in.

Blatant yellow for Onyeka

Toney won aerial duel before that to put Wissa in, good defending from Kiwior. Need to watch out for Toney in the air
