Clrnc why the f is Son, my captain, not available for my fantasy side then ffs.
goon think because the next week is FA Cup and the next PL fixture will be during asian cup
Qwiss
Fair though I thought he was good against PSV.
Either way stylistically I think it’s what we need, someone who can run and carry the ball.
Though I guess if we’re lacking killer instinct in from of goal then really it has to be Trossard.
Wouldn't mind seeing Trossard up front and Jesus out wide either.
QuincyAbeyie this would be a very good option. Or even Nketiah there, with Trossard and Martinelli as your bench options.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert you were saying he deserved a chance in the first team before the WH game and now he needs to be banished to the reserves based off a ten minute cameo? 🤔
Whilst he's never going to be 1st choice for us, he's all we've got in terms of squad options this season and I maintain he's shown enough to get more game time. Maybe if he gets more starts (eg. PSV away) he'll show better form.
Don Pacifico he was really, really dreadful though. I think his time is done.
One potential change before he goes - Kiwior at left back. Let’s see if Arteta freshens things up. The data suggests he doesn’t need to change the team from West Ham. But 1 or 2 changes would be good given the short turnaround.
Good changes. I expect Jesus and Zinchenko will come on. Still a bit worried about Kiwiors passing from left back, feels more of a centre half and in other games he started we needed Zinchenko to pick up our passing game. Guy needs chances though and now's the perfect time.
Qwiss Zin not in the squad so assume he's injured. 🤷
Also not massively excited about Kiwior at LB but needs games.
Don Pacifico he has a “calf issue”
Don Pacifico ahh I missed that. Not good news despite his poor form. We must be getting close to seeing Kai there at this stage.
Tomyiasu back with the squad, I wonder if he can get injured before the Asian Cup.
HomeSteak not sure why Arteta say its serious injury. Less than 1 month he's back already just a minor one
Chance for Kiwior to make a claim for that spot ahead of Zinchenko.
IBL I think it's unlikely. Seems a centre half to me but if he can cover at LB then it's a good thing. He can certainly defend I just don't think on the ball he's suited to it.
Eddie has looked sharp when coming on, but it’s a big boost for him to get the nod ahead of Jesus, even if it is just for a game.
You obviously didn’t watch the MLS skills challenge.
I think he’s basic but decent on the ball, quick, crisp passing is all you really need.
goon he's fine on the ball at centre half, has a decent passing range but he's not got the ability to get out of pressure at LB and start things they way Zinny and Tomi do. He's smart enough to realise it so just keeps it simple instead of losing it but it costs us build up options and speed. I think at CB his passing range would be more beneficial. I don't think Gabriel would be a particularly good full back either but he's a very good passer too.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert after 10 minutes...?
