Intrigued to see how Gakpo gets on against our world class defenders.

Again, I'm in the minority here who literally does not care at all about the EL. Play the guys who don't get to many minutes in the league and the academy players, I would not be upset if we go out in the group stages, I just don't care. I consider it an abomination.

We need to win a European trophy or any trophy for that matter. EL is a good shout and also a plan b for CL if things go tits up in the league.
Did not even know he was the manager there.
These guys would have had to have played twice this week anyway and it would have been against Manchester City to boot. I think we overstate the risk of injury and fatigue in our heads. The bigger problem is the travelling but we're at home today so there really is no issue.
There is a theory too that playing twice a week actually aids performance rather than hampering it - providing they're not on the edge/red zone physically.

He is such an ugly bastard

Maybe in the short term but over a season I don't think thats the case at all.
Fairly strong team Jesus, Tomi, Gabriel, Xhaka and Saka starting. In come Vieira, Nketiah, Lokonga, Holding, Tierney and Turner.

Look forward to seeing how Nketiah and Jesus play together

Yeah definitely. And Vieira behind them too.
Let's see if Cody passes his audition. We desperately need a 5th forward.
Never heard Tommy Smyth as commentator for an Arsenal game. Exciting.
These lads go down any opportunity they getÂ
Blah Xhaka and Jesus so far.
Lovely corner by Vieira.
This team needs less ruth.
Wha?
Good performance but lacking a bit of sharpness and cutting edge up front. Jesus hasn't been sharp and Eddie hasn't done much. Vieira's vision is fantastic but he needs to get on the ball more.
Anyone feel like Jesus has stalled out?

Dodgy three games from him.
Lokonga is the perfect Partey heir - his giveaways are just as good!
