Our first Saturday 3pm kick off of the season, and playing a team that’s both in horrendous form and has been a constant thorn in our side of late
Despite the Turgid burst a blood vessel bowel movement on Wednesday, i’d be surprised if they made it three wins in a row at the Emirates. But who knows….I think they’ll see an uptick of form under Nuno but as long as it doesn’t happen until after the international break i don’t really care all that much
I wonder if at some point we will see Arteta finally accept that Rice can’t play at 8, that Zubimendi shouldn’t be playing full stop and that Merino’s only function is as an impact sub if we are chasing goals
Would like to see us experiment with a midfield trio of Rice, Eze and Odegaard but i think there’s more chance of Leo XIV addressing the crowds at St Peter’s Basillica and saying “Brothers and Sisters, i’ve spent a few days reflecting on it all, and i’ve concluded that all this God business is a load of nonsense”
Anyway 0-3 Geoff Hurst Hat-trick
