3-0 Toney hatter
Seriously, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we were at least held to a draw in this one
Bit worried about this one tbh.
Big Stoke vibes with these, except they aren't absolute pubbers.
0-3
Nah. We got this. 1-3.Quote:

We need to score early, take the sting out of the game.
I think playing Ben White would be a mistake…we need a full back capable of getting out of his own half
I also don’t think we can afford the luxury of Xhaka in a free role
Ramsdale, Tomoyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Lokonga, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Jesus
No Odegaard today, Arsenal fans having a collective bowel movement in their knickers
Out of all the players in the first team that I’d be worried about not playing, he’d be only just in front of those who I don’t think should be in the first team to begin with.
I would start him over Smith Rowe and Skeet Ulrich if all three fit, but not going to get upset if he’s unavailable
Once again that Iberian sociopath shows he has no understanding when it comes to picking a team
White and Xhaka starting
If we don’t win, we know why
Brentford: Raya, Hickey, Jansson, Ajer, Mee, Henry, Janelt, Jensen, Dasilva, Mbeumo, Toney.
Subs: Canos, Wissa, Zanka, Ghoddos, Onyeka, Strakosha, Damsgaard, Baptiste, Roerslev.
Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Vieira, Martinelli, Jesus.
Subs: Turner, Tomiyasu, Sousa, Lakonga, Smith, Nwaneri, Marquinhos, Nketiah.
I get your point about Xhaka obvs, but the White dislike is a bit misplaced IMO, after all it's not like Saka's starved of the ball, in fact some on here think he gets too much of it, in my case I wish he was more effective when he does have itQuote:

Nwameri is 15 or something isn’t heQuote:

Always handy to have a Targaryen on the bench.
It’s not dislike of Ben White at all, it’s recognition that he’s not a full backQuote:

To be honest I wouldn’t have a problem if Ben White was played at centre back and Gabriel was dropped for one game as he’s been distinctly inconsistent this season
Haven’t watched House of the Dragon or in fact heard anyone say much about it.Quote:

We're not just up against him or Brentford either, no doubt the media will, as per last year, all be baying for a big 'upset' to throw at us if we loseQuote:

Martinelli scuffer. Has to bury opportunities like that.
chance for Martinelli, messed up the shot though
more shaky stuff from Gabriel back there
Just learnt we lost 2-0 to Brentford last season. you'd think Sky might mention it a bit.
SALIBAAAA!!!
SALIBA!!!!!
SALIBA!!!!!!!
Who is this insufferable twat on co-comms?
Don Goodman. Usually only co-commentates on Championship or League Cup games.
JAYSOOOS!!
JESUS!!!
Xhaka :bow:
What a ball. What a player.
Jesus!!!!!!!!

Have to say been impressed by how we’ve looked on the ball and off the ball
Partey does make such a difference there
Vieira looks a player, some silky passing
Tierney. :lol:
Brentford are still in mourning apparently.
0-2 HT. Very good.
