Our 5-0 home win under the lights at the Emirates against these lot was definitely my fave performance from last season. Hope we come out fighting. This will be tough especially if Palmer plays.
Badly need the win to stop the rot and attempt to start inserting ourselves into the title race.
Doesn't look like Rice trained but Havertz and Odegaard did.
IBL we just need to win tomorrow and start to stabilise the season. We’ve had the worst possible start in terms of circumstances conspiring against us. If we can get a few weeks of rhythm in some area of the pitch, would be great.
It’s a tricky away tie to be fair
RocktheCasbah Both Collins' and Gabriel's solo careers are a product of the anodyne "adult contemporary" era in record publishing. As with when people tell you Dire Straits are good ... they sort of are, but they're also sort of unlistenably bland. But the video to "Sledgehammer" is brilliant, don't miss that.
Burnwinter I'm a child of the 80s Burnsy, of course I've seen it. 😉
Burnwinter — how dare you slander Dire Straits as bland
Bring on Max Dowman for shits and giggles
lorddulaarsenal don’t get the Dowman brigade started.
RocktheCasbah Some wouldn't've 🙂
We have to win this, no banana slip here. Skip right over it
Win it and we’re in a good position moving forward.
Not greatly confident I feel we might need a couple of goals and right now don't feel that looks within the capability of this team.
We do have to win though in my view anything else and 9 point gap is pretty huge at this time already.
awooga83 If we win, this forum will turn into a misery. The boys had better win just to retain peace for all humankind.
Claudius You will be happy and be celebrating if we lose?

You mean if we don't win?
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz. Subs: Neto, Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Trossard, Jesus.
Good team. Please win. Marti and Havertz to score.
Both team at full strength.

Would you consider White and Timber (on the left) as 'full strength' or would you say Timber on the right and Calafiori on the left is full strength? Not saying its right or wrong either way, i would personally say a fully fit Cala on the left and Timber on the right are the preferred starters, but this lineup is as full strength as we can get at this time. Ode being back (even if at 80%) is a big deal.
Ode and Rice start. So does Palmer
Feeling confident with this lineup. Hopefully Ode is fully fit.
USArsenal I think Cala is definitely first choice now.
USArsenal Much of a muchess all 3 of them. I consider all 3 first choice and we should rotate depending on the opponent (whether the opponent RW is an inverted winger)
