  • Arsenal - Aston Villa, Today, In about 3 and a half hours.

Burnwinter I truly believe Emery tries harder against Arsenal due to his experiences here

Can you blame him? I'd be exactly the same and trying to stick it to the haters.

Saliba out - confirmed

Partey and Timber at the back, Merino in midfield.

Fuck me

We need to maintain pressure on Liverpool and be able to do it for a sustained set of matches and see what they do. Villa are decent but we totally messed up against them last year total implosion on our part as they were not really that great and we missed big chances in the first half.

Many of the same issues we have faced will be true today. Can we get the chances and put them away otherwise we should be able to beat them. But these are the tests you gave to get through.

Why did we not sell Kiwior this summer? Very strange.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert He is not Saliba but he is not that bad. Let's say it's just the left foot, maybe?...the thing is, Partey is very bad at right back, and I'm pretty sure we lost points in each game we started him there, granted...when we play him there we also miss a bunch of other players.

It's just hard for me to get why you would move 2 players out of position and have to play Merino in midfield instead of playing Kiwior.

Also, our bench is just terrible: Neto, Zinchenko, Tierney, Sterling, Kiwior, Kacurri, Kabia, Jorghino & Butler-Oyedeji

Fuck. Hope Saliba isn't seriously injured. He was hobbling near the end of the last game

    Just bad team-building. Regardless of injuries, these options are the result of our tentative stance in the market.

      Cant see us getting 3 points in this game. Partey at RB weakens us in 2 key positions.

      Sorry, but Saliba should be replaced in the lineup by a CB. Timber in the middle weakens us there.. Partey at RB weakens us there. Not having Partey in the midfield and putting in Merino instead potentially weakens us there.

        USArsenal that bench is depressing. I wouldn't start kiwior today

        Arsenal… the worst run, most depressing second placed team in the history of football.

          Red headed stepchild

          Partey at RB is annoying but we have a 100+ million pound player in midfield who should step up. It's a bigger failure by Rice if he can't take over with Merino and Odegaard. They're no chumps and should beat Onana Rogers and the others.

          I'm worried by that Villa bench.
