Clrnc oh whoops, misread the thread title.

I'm inclined to think form stats like the ones you mention are a bit overstated. Majority of Sporting's home record will be against weak opposition. Additionally, it is within our agency to not be as shit away from home (ie. That record has to change at some point!).

I don't fancy us at all 😞

I fancy us. Merino will pick them apart

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal he’s coming along nicely after a disrupted start. Very excited by him.

HomeSteak

Away in europe, 11 men behind the ball and try to get a draw, there is not other option if you ask Arteta.

2-2

MistaT

Huge opportunity to scout Gyokeres.

Portugese league is fine, but he'll be up against a true CB pairing today.

Panda

I think we will win 2 nil but our away record in Europe doesn't inspire any confidence so I'm really just blinded by my Arsenal fan tints.

Havertz and Odegaard with the goals 🤭

I really don't understand Arteta's obsession with this Partey-Rice-Odegaard midfield. Partey's progressive numbers aren't even all that amazing this season anyway.

You mean other than the fact that we look much better with that kind of balance? Im sure we will see Merino at some point during the game also.

Claudius

Arteta picked my lineup. He’s sharp

Qwiss

Very strong line up. Probably our best XI.

We don't, though.

The best football we've ever played was with the Rice-Odegaard-Havertz midfield with Jesus/Havertz up top. Then we put Partey in and became notably worse, but still good enough to win.

USArsenal Im sure we will see Merino at some point during the game also.

The midfield I really want to see is Rice-Odegaard-Nwaneri.

Gazza M

DiabyKungFu don't think we've ever played great with havertz in midfield. the slickest football we played when we were slapping teams by 4-5 goals was with jorginho, rice and odegaard in midfield

we'll see how yukkyrez fares against wilo and gabby

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

DiabyKungFu same. Did we not try that in a few pre season games?

Just got into the ground, team looks good hopefully we can finally have a decent away result in Europe.

Claudius

awooga83 jealous. That stadium must be fantastic.

Clrnc

awooga83 Gonna be an amazing experience for you. Enjoy mate

MistaT

awooga83 -- awooga choosing the right game to attend!

How was it from in the stadium?

HomeSteak

Havertz shithousery remains unmatched
