The Arsenal v Man Siteh, Sunday 8 October 2023

OK, let's get on with it

Saka is a doubt and while we could in theory on our day make a good game of it, I expect Arteta and / or VAR will contrive to mess it up for us

0-6 Haaland double hatter

The one thing Arteta needs to get right is to start both Rice and Partey. That’s a non negotiable

Beaten home and away for 6 seasons straight.

Also, City haven’t lost back to back PL games for 4 years.

In short: Us. :rose:

I don’t know what to expect, I’d be happier if Martinelli was fit because his pace but I’m hoping we start Trossard instead

No Rodri and Stones gives us a good chance against their defence, but we have to be able to make chances and take them

Shame Timber is injured as he was excellent when we played them in the community shield.

White worries me, against most sides at home he is good at the attacking overlap with Saka but he can’t hack a pacey winger

Rice is really going to need to help him out there

Seeing as its the only thing that has worked before and you've had the gall, to tell him to do errr.... the "only thing that has worked before".... he's definitely not going to play both of them now :wwf:

Usually.

I’m laughing at the idea we might actually be able to make and take chances.
Not our forte so far

we have scored goals, our problem at home is more a defensive one as unlike when we play away we haven't kept a clean sheet yet and are very unlikely to do so today

I thought you were laughing at how obvious a statememt it was, kind of like saying we will only win if we score a goal or two

I also hear the Pope is Catholic...
