1-2.
Little bit pub win.
Vardy and Mahrez wll score I suppose. That's just the way these things happen.
So Bif will need to get 3.
3-0 Ozil hat-trick.
Anything could happen in this match. Both of us had bad starts. We're low on players and probably confidence, they are an unknown quantity again this year but for different reasons. How will they cope with being the PL champions. I can't even call it.
Does anyone actually know if Koscielny is back?
2-2
We wouldn't get anybody in in time to play now anyway. Even if we had bought somebody on the quiet, it would still be risky playing someone without a gelling in process.
I could not understand why Gibbs was not playing v Liverpool with Monreal at CB with Chambers. Surely he will go with this rather than put Holding back in the team, if Kos is not risked???
I thought Holding was pretty good.
3-2
My head's going funny with this game and the permutations of it. Yes, it's only three points. Would a win, however, paper over the cracks?
A draw would stop the rot. (And it IS a rot. 1 game in and no significant transfer activity for a team who were 2nd last season. The teams in 4th and 6th have done more to try and win the league this season)
A defeat and the daggers would be out against Wenger and Gazidis. The atmosphere would be toxic ahead of the next home game. Maybe, just maybe, that's what we need?
I don't know why any fan would want a loss. It helps nothing and it will not change Gazidis and Wenger being here. If a win papers over the cracks, then that would mean losing again and again becomes more beneficial and that makes no sense at all. It just increases the misery and gloom around the club. I'm worried about today but as ever hope we win.
Win, lose or draw - it doesn't matter. We'll still need a striker and a centre back, Wenger will still be past it, the board will still be cunts and we'll all be miserable until we see tangible change.
He was. Chambers should be the one to be dropped.
This game will most likely be quite mental. Alexis and Theo should have loads of space to play on the turnovers. Hopefully, Cazorla/Ozil or even Xhaka if he plays can set them up more efficiently. We were so wasteful considering all the the time we had in Liverpool's area last week.
Good team.
Good to see Kos and Santi starting. Plenty on the bench if we need it.
Hopefully with Cazorla in there we are a little more slicker in the final third.
3-1 Leicester Imo, at least that's what happened in my dream last night.
Would have picked Elneny over Coquelin but other than that have to say not the worst lineup
If Ozil and Giroud are fit enough for the bench, surely they are fit enough to start?
Can someone do us a favor and send Owen to Mogadishu? He shouldn't be on TV, it's a blasphemy :coffee:
BTW where have all the mods gone? :coffee:
