Mikel said we trained with only 8 players 🥲
banduan Arteta needs to watch his tone and calm down, he's starting to sound defeated.
banduan wut?
"It’s a good learning process, not only tactically but also preparation and training with very few players. Today we had seven or eight players with us just to fill the squad which isn’t normal. It’s a weird way to learn, but I’ll take it. I cannot change it so let’s take the things that we can get out of it to be better."
I can't tell whether he means only seven or eight players participated in training or seven or eight players from the youth team joined training to fill out the session.
Looking at pictures it has to be the latter.
RowJimmy sounds about right. Would mean he has about 13 fit outfield players. Which matches the squad we saw vs Brighton minus Nwaneri plus Havertz.
RowJimmy seven or eight players from the youth team joined training to fill out the session.
Definitely think it's this one.
Claudius Would rest Jesus if Havertz has had a chance to rest during his bout of flu.
Not sure I agree - still feel that Jesus should start in order to continue his rehabilitation. Needs more goals (maybe that's wishful thinking though!).
Claudius We are a Saliba or Gabriel injury away from this team capsizing.
Oh god what a thought 😂 I can picture it now.
Yeah if we can just make it to the end of this month unscathed and still in with a chance in all competitions we will have done very well.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Martinelli, Trossard, Havertz.
Subs: Porter, Calafiori, Zinchenko, Tierney, Kiwior, Jorginho, Merino, Sterling, Jesus.
Strong team, let's do this!
Very strong team, pity we couldn't field that vs Brighton.
Bench looking better with Sterling on it too.
Panda better with Sterling
🤣
invisibleman18 Shush lol better from attacking options point of view 🙂
IBL I know so nice to see domestic football on free channels. Shame they've been priced out of everything else.
Thought we had an epl match on the weekend. Fa cup against man u instead. Good team
Let’s fucking go.
We can win this cup. The league is done, CL and FA cups are a lottery. This comp, no matter the value, we are 3 games away from this team having something agiant its name. This team cannot and should not go without winning a fucking trophy even if it is a carling cup.
We should be at these cunts from min go. They fucked us last two trips to the North East and now it’s time to see who is fucking boss.

For those in the UK this is on ITV, didn't know until a work colleague told me a few mins ago 😃

Sure we played Newcastle in a semi final of the league cup in 1996 on ITV. Lee Dixon and Ginola at it.
Timber v Gordon.
Great run from Martinelli and pass from Partey
But you got to cross that earlier my boy, or cut your man for a shot
Poor passage of play from us there, lucky they didn't hit the target.
Isak is good
