    The Arsenal v Spuds, 12.30pm, 1 October

    I'm always pessimistic about this tie, with the chance for them to kick us off the top and go above us they will be up for it, just hope we play well.

    They'll be going into the game a goal up as they can count on a dodgy pel, so we need to be on target at least twice to win

    Arteta's obsession with Guardiolaball blinding him to the fact Tierney's the better defender, Tierney should def. be starting this game

    Zinchenko will help overload midfield probably.

    I'm alright with it.

    You don’t think it would help having a left back that knows what a left back does?

    In a functional team, sure. The game has moved on a bit from that though.

    From having a left back that knows where to be positionally and deal with wingers who can cross ?

    Yes I get that he’s the Swiss Army knife of players…but doesn’t help that he doesn’t appear to understand his main function

    Neither Arsenal or Spurs have an abundance of quality on the bench

    We’ve got Tierney, Vieira and they’ve got Bissouma

    I don’t know what their injury issues are but apart from Smith Rowe and Elneny we have a fully fit squad

    Suggests to me we really need to buy more players just to beef up the squad.
