The Arsenal v Man Ure, Sunday 3 September 2023, 16.30

I'm judging Vieira on what he'a done since he got here - the flashes of quality he's shown ever since he's arrived, characteristically under-used by Arteta he's now had a chance to settle in the side and was good in pre-season, especially against Monaco and yes a great performance v Fulham

If this is a meritocracy, Viera deserves a start after his sub appearance. Probably the best performance of the season.

Apparently Partey is injured for 3 months.

Huge loss, but in a way it might solve a problem Arteta didn't otherwise seem capable of.

It's all over the blogs, however their are also pictures of him in training today!

The thing with Partey is that this will eventually happen, and just like you, I think it will be a plus for a confused Arteta.

Probably better if it was Rice who got injured, tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How would they know he's out for three months already when he was in training today?

I am taking the view of doubting this.

It won’t be

If Partey is injured we are utterly screwed.

I don't agree, he can be a good player but he's not that fundamental

Btw I'm trying to remember who on here keeps reminding everyone that Partey is injury prone...?

He is incredibly injury prone, why do you think I’ve been spitting blood for the better part of two months over us signing Rice

Without partey we lack someone who can competently carry the ball forward from defensive third to attacking third.

So as I say, completely screwed

It's confirmed, he's injured.

Viera needs to start tomorrow, or he plays Trossard in that role and starts Martinelli..... just please Mikel, don't test the Fates by starting Havertz.

Groin injury, very unlikely to be the three months cited before. But it does mean of course, that there’s no possibility of winning tomorrow or the next game away at Everton or the NLD.

Top 4 looking very dicey

Literally got every prediction wrong so far this season
