Partey and Jesus out for a few weeks.
Shouldn’t really have much trouble here as long as we apply ourselves correctly. Though I’m sure there will be some careless shit happen like it usually does at home.
3-1.

That will be much less likely if Ram and Tomi play instead of Raya and ZinOriginally Posted by Marc Overmars

oh and saying Partey's injured is like saying the Pope's Catholic, it really isn't necessary ...
I think this will be a tricky game, not necessarily that we won’t win. But I can see this being a struggle because they will play 11 behind the ball from the off.
I would rather have Havertz play up front because he can hold up the ball well allowing space for others and Edward is just not making the runs at the moment.
I would probably drop both Saka and Odegaard for this game. One because he’s clearly not fully fit, the other because he’s been poor.
My 11
Ramsdale, Tomi, Gabriel, Saliba, White, Rice, Jorginho, Vieira, Martinelli, Havertz and Trossard
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Rice, Havertz, Smith Rowe, Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah.
Subs: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Jorginho, Elneny, Vieira, Odegaard, Nelson, Trossard.
Sheffield United: Foderingham, Bogle, Robinson, Trusty, Thomas, Norwood, Souza, Hamer, Slimane, McAtee, Brewster.
Subs: Davies, Baldock, Fleck, Archer, Traore, Osborn, One, Larouci, Brooks.
Raya and Zin start
Meritocracy
Interesting line up, not what I’d have gone for, but not what I’d have expected Arteta to go with either
Kiwior and Smith Rowe both probably deserve some game time
And Saka deserves a rest but we all know he isn’t going to get it
He clearly doesn't like Gabriel (whatever you say) and is still trying to prove we don't need himInteresting line up, not what I’d have gone for, but not what I’d have expected Arteta to go with either
Kiwior and Smith Rowe both probably deserve some game time
And Saka deserves a rest but we all know he isn’t going to get it
And starting with Raya, Zin, Eddie and Havertz is an open invitation for Sheff U to win the gam3

Well your joke McBurnie prediction died in the crib, he doesn’t even make the bench
I would check to see if he’s injured but I don’t care all that much. Whoever we played and whoever they played…I can see a dull grind of trying to break them down. And because my predictions are so spot on, we will probably get a goal fest
I almost feel like playing Raya is a form of punishment for him, looks like he has PTSD
Zinchenko? Well I suppose one explanation is that he’s a better player to have when you’ve got a team that will play for a draw and stick 11 men behind the ball. Where as Tomiyasu more effective when actual defending needs doing and more space to work in.
I think I’d definitely rather have the latter against Newcastle as Zinchenko was awful when we played at St James’ last season
Yes and he also drops his Captain in the same game. If he was trying to prove he doesn’t need Gabriel why would he have started the last six games and only benched today against a team where he thinks he can rest players (like Jorginho, like Odegaard and possibly yes Tomiyasu)
Most of these disagreements start because of your insistence on using words like clearly when even you know it’s not the most plausible of explanations. But you wouldn’t be the only person to discount things that don’t fit your theories
