Easy to lose track of which team is the shittest in the league, a fortnight ago it was Sheffield United, now they are tied with these guys who have not yet managed a single point at home so far.
We are getting a real injury pile up, so it’s quite fortuitous that this game should be a relatively easy three points and it comes before a two week break.
Ramsdale
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
Jorginho Rice
Vieira
Trossard Martinelli Nelson
Should be a comfortable win if we apply ourselves correctly. Any dropped points here would be a shocker.
3-0.
I'd bring in Kiwior for Gabriel or Saliba to rotate a bit, probably GabrielQuote:

0-3 Amdouni hatter
Wouldn’t play Vieira up front. Nothing suggests he’s able to play there
except his very good performance in that position against Monaco pre-season... ;)Quote:

Just play Havertz there then, I’d trust him more up front than in midfield.
Why would you want to rotate when a 2 week international break is imminent? Or are you a secret Brazilian??Quote:

Arsenal: Raya, Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice, Havertz, Martinelli, Saka, Trossard.
Subs: Ramsdale, Kiwior, Walters, Elneny, Ibrahim, Nelson, Vieira, Sagoe Jr, Nketiah.
Burnley: Trafford, Vitinho, O'Shea, Beyer, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Berge, Koleosho, Amdouni, Rodriguez
Subs: Vigouroux, Roberts, Redmond, Ramsey, Cullen, Bruun Larsen, Delcroix, Obafemi, Odobert
At the game today, first time in over 18 months
A lot of tippety tappety without threat so far
Raya parries behind for a corner when it could have been held onto
Brilliant short corner routine doesn’t beat first man
Martinelli with chance to use explosive pace passes into congested centre (not for first time)
Much better, especially from mandela’s favourite player
The ineptitude of teams at set pieces at this level never ceases to amaze meQuote:

Nova Sports 4 with Greek Commentary for me.
I know it's not on the 2 English ones.
How are you watching that? I never know how to access streams of games.Quote:

Havertz :lol:
Trossard scores but knocks himself out in the process
TROSSARD!! :bow:
Trossard has scored but his shoulder has collided with the post and he is having treatment.
See I thought that was his head. Shows what I know. Have to say decent performance so far. Trossard, Saka, Rice and Tomi the stand out playersQuote:

It's truly shocking, although when you've Havertz as your target man you're not going to score anywayQuote:

How Arteta cannot see that playing Havertz is basically playing 10 men and making everyone work harder just beats my imagination.
Great goal by Trossard which should only encourage Eddie to work harder.
1-1 Damn.
SALIBA!!!
Trossard is a bae !!!
Finally Havertz of and we are back to 11 v 11.
Honestly Win has made more of a positive impact this season than Havertz.
I doubt dog food all season will total £65 million either.
ZINCHENKO!!!
Zinchenko acrobatics and it's 3-1.
Ah. It’s one of those. :good:Quote:

Red card for Vieira.
He went in with his studs knee high and just caught the Burnley player.

In fairness, the name deserves a red at some point.
Hopefully no panic stations.
