lorddulaarsenal oh ffs. Hope this is emphasised to the players and they play accordingly.
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?
Hopefully Rice is fit for this. Don't fancy Merino up against the Chelsea midfield which is much better under Maresca.
Think we’ll slap them. The time to exit this slump is here

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’.
Feels much more likely it will be "thank god we get a week off this" at this point.

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.
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.
USArsenal Rice will play from the start. Ode will be on the bench.
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.
Guys that was an anti-jinx, I'm still feeling bad about my comments pre-Bournemouth 😆
I can really see us losing this badly.
Burnsy even at our nadir we don’t suffer heavy losses brah
Sounds to me like there is a chance Rice doesnt play in this one. If he hasnt even trained yet, and its Friday, that leaves a lot of doubt.
If they score we are done, at this moment in time we don't have 2 goals in this team. So our defenders need to be on it. They have played kinda like us, slightly better when attacking. Hope Palmer does not play
HomeSteak we'll be okay in attack as long as Odegaard plays...
