Arsenal v Nottingham Forest - Sat 13th September 1230 KO

Ughh, I can't wait! Proper football again.

Fuck international breaks. Such bullshit.

Meatwad

first year i haven't been stressing about international breaks. we have great depth so i wasn't too concerned about injuries. that use to have me stressed. and the women played so i watched football.

Sicario2 I would play the same team we finished v Liverpool. I wouldn’t rush back the likes of Saka (if he is fit) that’s for sure.

You'd start Dowman over Madueke? Even after Maduekes good international break. Seems like now is the time to get him settled while his confidence is high.

Sicario2 Gyokeres under pressure to score following 3 blanks since his brace v Leeds.

1 blank. We don't care about Sweden. And its not a crisis every time he doesn't score. There seems to be a lot of people who really want to create a failure narrative around Gyokeres for some reason.

Sicario2

Qwiss forgot about Dowman. Keep Madueke obviously. It’s not a crisis Gyo doesn’t score but we just need to keep the tap on the noise that is brewing if he blanks. Hopefully he is a lot fitter than his debut and first few games.

You need to ignore that shit. The more you buy into the more you make it a thing. I mean its not like he's Wirtz who cost twice as much as had done absolutely nothing so far.

Pepe LeFrits

I'd say Timber will be rested for the CL game.

Sicario2

Pepe LeFrits surely it will be the other way round? Timber will play v City so midweek he may get a rest

should more than good enough for the 3 points

Hope we are on it but early kick offs never ideal especially after an international break.

We play every midweek until the next international break now so plenty of gametime to go around hope Arteta starts rotating effectively, especially those that need managing.

Gazza M Hoping for this line up and we should still have some decent options on the bench including White, Hincapie, Trossard, Nwaneri, Martinelli, Merino, MLS, Dowman/Norgaard. Very good indeed!

Qwiss

Gazza M that's the line up I'd go for. Its mad that there are 5 new players in there, I'd expect another few weeks of us looking a bit disjointed.

Panda that's a very strong bench and a few will have to drop off it when Saka, Saliba and Havertz are back.

HomeSteak

Arteta said that Ben White & Nørgaard might be ready for this.
I already forgot how shit that game of football was against Liverpool and I'm ready to gaslight myself that we will play well this weekend. I like an early kick off, gonna hit a long run before, get some food in. Decent day.

DiabyKungFu

HomeSteak Nørgaard might be ready for this.

Advantage Forest.

lorddulaarsenal

HomeSteak what food? Interested to know

Pepe LeFrits

Sicario2 yeah that's what I meant, worded it badly

USArsenal

We typically play sluggish and meh on an early kickoff after an international break. Lets hope we come out all guns blazing for this one (no pun intended). I know Forest are a decent team, but i would love to see us win by a couple goals. Lets start the statements here.

Gazza M

USArsenal I'm expecting us to look pretty dusty, for the reasons you've stated, and we've looked pretty disjointed in our previous games. we should still get all 3 points.

That we do.

MistaT

My little guy has been waking up mighty early so may just pop up with him to catch this live.

Not sure he'll sit for more than 20 mins, but maybe some bribing to keep him into it. Be curious who he clues into or clowns on. He's an all action brute so could see him gravitating to Rice!

Meatwad

ain't right to be playing at noon after returning to training on thursday. at least it's a home game.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

lorddulaarsenal my bet is ceviche.

HomeSteak

lorddulaarsenal mici. i have no ideea what ceviche is ha.

Big Willie

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert my bet is ceviche.

We'll be feasting on Black Forest Gateau. At least we should be, if we pull our finger out that is.
