not ideal news coming out about Jorginho captaining and Ødegaard out of the match day squad. Would have probably preferred Vieira in his place. Otherwise sounds like the lineup predicted.
Havertz tomi also starts. The former replaces Odegaard in the lineup.
Nketiah lead the line
come on lets have em today
Oh god no Odegaard. What happened 😔
Ødegaard injured?
Why is Hein on the bench as well as Ramsdale, makes no sense.
Qwiss The bench doesn't look great does it. Even Cedric's made it.
Qwiss Yeah it's ridiculous, would be much better to give the match day experience to one of the youth outfield players
So where is Martin Odegaard?
Arsenal have just stated that their captain 'is not fit for today’s squad.'
More clarification required.
Yeh plenty reason to elect another outfield player for the bench than two keepers, curious to know the reason there. Without Ødegaard, big onus on this dry midfield to float into attack spaces and test the keeper.
Maybe Arteta thought "this 2 keeper thing isn't working, what if I try 3"
Newcastle will end Jorginho today.
HomeSteak Like they did in the last game between these two?
Sicario2 - Tier 1 he was ok last year. This season he is done.
Eddie and Kai need HUGE games. No passive bullshit.
6-0 win here could put us top.
he's far too arrogant in possession thus far this season, liable to lose possession at critical moments
Not looking forward to this at all. Our only hope is Martinelli and Saka and defence staying solid.
Is Odegaard injured? Of course perfect timing
Newcastle are pretty close to their full strength Pope, Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Joelinton, Wilson, Gordon, Almiron, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes. Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Ritchie, Krafth, Hall, Livramento, Jacob Murphy, Willock, Miley.
KingslandBarge No they're not. They're missing as much as we are Isak, Botman, Tonali, Barnes, Targett, etc
KingslandBarge They are missing 3 starters, we are missing sort of missing 3 starters if we count Partey so it's pretty even.
