Fuck this mopping about and feeling sorry for ourselves. We got a big game on Sunday.

Don’t worry too much about Inter result, we should still qualify top 8 in CL. Second half was the best ‘non-Odegaard’ performance of the season. Variance fucked us today.

Going back to Sunday, Merino and Trossard for Rice and Nwaneri please. As I’ve said it’s imperative the latter starts.

We have a very good record v Chelsea, haven’t lost at Stamford Bridge since August 2018 and Chelsea haven’t beaten us since August 2021 in any competition. Let’s keep that up.

Cole Palmer is a doubt for them. They play tomorrow against some nobodies in the ECL but they will play their second string side so main players will be rested.

Quite frankly we need a win to turn our season around and I think we will do it.

Chelsea fans may smell blood but let’s show them they are still our bitches.

Kai to score against his former side.

Heads up lads, we are one win from getting back on track.

This could be a landmark win for the season. Give us a strong three points and a goal for Havertz.

Lose here and it's over.

Win and it's the catalyst we need to chase down Liverpool and City with our toughest fixtures out of the way.

Odegaard can't come back quick enough. Difficult to see where are goal or even any sort of opportunity is coming from at this point.

Give the first half to Nwaneri, and the second to Odegaard. Or vice versa, I don't care, they just both need some minutes.

our shit attack vs their shit defense. somethings gotta give in this shit fight

Who recons they should start by having the teams line up ready for kick off and then have the ref announced, come out of the tunnel to entrance music and pyrotechnics?

lorddulaarsenal oh ffs. Hope this is emphasised to the players and they play accordingly.

    Hopefully Rice is fit for this. Don't fancy Merino up against the Chelsea midfield which is much better under Maresca.

    I hope we are all saying this on Sunday evening:

    ‘Damn, it’s the international break just as we turned things around and picked up some momentum’.

      IF FIT... This would be what i would go with..

      Raya
      White Saliba Gabriel Timber
      Partey Rice Odegaard
      Saka Kai Martinelli

      Rice is a question mark with his broken toe, and not sure if Odegaard is ready to start yet.

        Nah, got a good feeling about this game.

        Historically, an Arteta side is at its most dangerous when severely underestimated.

        Think we will see a reaction on Sunday.

          I can see us losing this badly, but I wouldn't be surprised at all by any outcome except a goalless draw.

            Burnwinter even at our nadir, we haven't really collapsed or been blown out for a while. games have still been fairly tight. if we hold Chelsea to less than 2 goals at their place with the form they're in, it will show that our defense can still be relied on in a pinch

              Yeah. We don’t do bad losses.
